Crypto assets, tokenization and artificial intelligence (AI) remain priorities for monitoring by the Financial Stability Board, which keeps an eye on the global financial system, Chair Klaas Knot said in a letter to finance ministers from the Group of 20 (G20) countries.

Monday's letter comes ahead of a G20 meeting to be held in Sao Paulo on Wednesday and Thursday. It also outlines the group's plan to publish a status report on its crypto roadmap and a report on the financial stability implications of tokenization in October. The board, which coordinates with 24 countries, intends to report on the financial stability implications of AI the month after that.

The FSB spearheaded efforts to create a global regulatory framework for crypto last year, when the asset class started to recover from a crippling crypto winter caused by the failures of multiple firms including crypto exchange FTX. The FSB and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced a widely anticipated crypto policy roadmap last year that called for global coordination on crypto policy.

"A key focus for us in 2024 and beyond is on the effective implementation of the FSB’s global regulatory and supervisory framework for crypto-asset activities and markets and for global stablecoin arrangements, which was endorsed by G20 leaders at their New Delhi Summit," Knot said. The New Delhi meeting took place in September last year.

What's New in Ethereum's Roadmap: Privacy, Quantum Security, Native Rollup?

On August 10, 2024, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin revealed an updated technical roadmap, highlighting significant changes in priorities and new focus areas. Key new additions include: - **Strong Privacy Protection**: Elevated to a top-tier protocol concern. Proposals like EIP-8250 (keyed nonces for concurrency), EIP-8272 (recent roots for verification), and EIP-8182 (shared protocol-level privacy pools) aim to enable private transfers of ETH and ERC-20s, moving toward default private accounts. - **Quantum Resilience**: Priority increased. The plan addresses risks to ECDSA/BLS signatures, KZG commitments, and ZK systems, exploring solutions like leanSPHINCS signatures, STARK proofs (considered quantum-resistant), and streamlined verification processes. A full L1 upgrade is tentatively targeted for ~2029. - **Native Rollups**: A novel concept where rollups could reuse Ethereum's core validation infrastructure via a new EXECUTE precompile (EIP-8079 draft). This aims to reduce custom code and enhance security for certain L2s, while specialized chains will continue to exist. - **Protocol Simplification & Formal Verification**: Leveraging AI tools to make full-protocol formal verification feasible, aiming for more rigorous and machine-verifiable specifications. Other notable shifts: - State storage is evolving from Verkle trees to a Partitioned Binary Tree (PBT, EIP-8347 draft). - Some 2023 items like VDFs and certain EVM improvements were deprioritized. - Long-term discussions include blob/gas futures and non-EVM instruction sets (e.g., RISC-V). The "Strawmap" outlines potential upgrades through ~2029 but is a directional guide, not a firm timeline. Key milestones to watch include the Glamsterdam (Q4 2026) and Hegotá (2027) forks. Many proposals remain in draft or research phases.

Hyperliquid Trading Volume Soars, So Why Are Profits Falling?

Hyperliquid, a leading decentralized perpetuals trading platform, has seen its open interest surge to a record high above $11 billion, capturing roughly 9% of the global market share. Trading volume remains robust, nearing $178 billion over 30 days, driven largely by the explosive growth of third-party markets offering tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) like stocks and commodities. Despite this growth, the platform's protocol revenue has declined for four consecutive quarters, falling 43% from its Q3 2025 peak of $357 million to approximately $202 million in Q2 2026. This divergence is primarily attributed to the HIP-3 governance proposal, which allows external developers to launch their own markets and keep up to half of the generated fees. These third-party markets now account for nearly 50% of total volume. Consequently, the share of revenue redistributed to developers, market makers, and the treasury has tripled from 6% to 18% in a year. This directly reduces the funds allocated to the platform's buyback-and-burn mechanism for its native HYPE token, weakening a key price support. HYPE's price has fallen 28% from its all-time high. The platform's growth is also heavily concentrated, with a single entity, Trade.xyz, responsible for over 90% of HIP-3 open interest, introducing systemic risk. Additionally, the ecosystem lacks diversity beyond HYPE, faces ongoing token unlocks adding sell pressure, and is encountering increased regulatory scrutiny and new competition from platforms like Robinhood Chain. While still a major revenue generator in crypto, Hyperliquid's model of sharing fees to fuel expansion is currently compressing its own earnings and token economics.

Ethereum Asset Management Company BitMine Continues to Buy ETH! Here's the Latest Purchase Amount

Cryptocurrency company BitMine, known for its Ethereum investment strategy, continues to expand its holdings of $ETH. The company announced the purchase of an additional 7,391 ETH over the past week, bringing its total Ethereum reserves to 5,805,238 ETH. This represents approximately 4.8% of Ethereum's total supply, solidifying BitMine's position as one of the world's largest institutional holders. BitMine's strategy involves not only purchasing but also staking its ETH assets. The company has staked 5,067,309 ETH, roughly 87% of its total reserve. From these staking operations, BitMine expects to generate approximately $257 million in annual income, providing both long-term asset holding and a steady revenue stream. Concurrently, BitMine continues its share buyback program, repurchasing 3 million shares last week for a cumulative total of 19.1 million shares since July. This dual approach of increasing ETH reserves and buying back shares highlights the company's multifaceted capital management strategy, betting on both price appreciation and staking yields. The scale of BitMine's holdings, nearing 5% of Ethereum's supply, is a significant development, indicating a growing trend among institutional investors to treat ETH as a long-term asset.

Citi Research Report Analysis: U.S. Proposed Ban on Chinese Optical Modules Has No Substantial Progress, Short-term Enforcement Faces Supply Constraints

Citi Report Analysis: U.S. Proposed Ban on Chinese Optical Modules Lacks Substantive Progress, Faces Supply Bottlenecks in Short Term. Reuters reported on August 4th that the U.S. government and FCC are considering a ban on Chinese optical modules. Citi's August 9th report clarifies that optical modules are not listed on any effective FCC ban. The FCC's Order 26-50 established two restricted list mechanisms (based on manufacturer and production location), but optical modules were only mentioned once, as an example in a disclosure requirement, not as a restricted product. The reported ban remains at a proposal stage. Citi estimates Chinese suppliers provide 60-70% of high-speed optical modules for U.S. hyperscalers. Non-Chinese suppliers cannot fill this gap in the short term, making the immediate implementation of a genuine ban unlikely. Future regulatory paths could be manufacturer-based (least likely), location-based covering all offshore production (strictest), or location-based covering only China (more feasible but with unresolved definitions). A ban would pressure U.S. AI infrastructure, conflicting with stated policy goals. Citi sees low near-term implementation probability, with the issue potentially becoming a negotiation chip in bilateral talks. U.S. domestic capacity build-out is a key long-term variable. Among Chinese companies, XSENS and Dongshan Precision have the highest U.S. exposure, while Tianfu Communication, as a passive component supplier, is relatively insulated. Citi maintains Buy ratings on all three with respective price targets. The conclusion is that Chinese modules are currently irreplaceable in the U.S. AI supply chain, creating a longer timeline for potential restrictions than the market may expect.

Truth Social Parent Company Records Quarterly Loss of $238 Million: $190 Million Lost on Crypto Holdings, Announces Tightened Treasury Strategy

Trump Media & Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT), parent company of Truth Social, reported a Q2 2026 net loss of $238.1 million. A significant portion of this loss, $190.4 million, stemmed from unrealized losses on its digital asset and equity securities holdings, primarily due to Bitcoin price declines. Despite the massive paper loss, the company increased its Bitcoin holdings in July, acquiring approximately 4,700 more BTC. Its total Bitcoin holdings now stand near 14,139 BTC, valued at roughly $890.5 million as of July 31st, making it a core part of the company's ~$1.9 billion in financial assets. Quarterly revenue was only $1.7 million. The company announced a move toward a "more disciplined" framework for managing its digital asset treasury, aiming to manage volatility while retaining long-term exposure. It will also shift more resources back to its core media businesses like Truth Social. Its strategy has involved complex financial maneuvers like options trading, lending, and staking Bitcoin. Key future developments include a planned merger with fusion energy company TAE Technologies in Q4 2026 and growth of its new Truth API data licensing revenue stream.
