Гендиректор Bitwage: 70% аргентинцев получают зарплату в стейблкоинах

По словам Джонатана Честера (Jonathan Chester), стейблкоины, привязанные к доллару США, ценятся среди аргентинских удаленных работников. Из всех местных клиентов, пользовавшихся услугами Bitwage для получения платежей, 70% использовали USDT или USDC.

Честер также сообщил, что объемы платежей в стейблкоинах в стране резко возросли. Из $400 млн, обработанных компанией Bitwage в 2024 году, на Аргентину пришлось $100 млн, тогда как за последние четыре года количество аргентинских пользователей стейблкоинов выросло на 400%.

Честер объяснил, что аргентинцы предпочитают получать зарплату в стейблкоинах для последующей покупки долларов, чтобы защитить свои зарплаты в условиях высокой инфляции. Таким образом, некоторые аргентинцы увеличивают себе чистую заработную плату до 50%.

Честер подчеркнул, что аргентинские фрилансеры в основном получают стейблкоины от работодателей из США, Евросоюза или Великобритании.

Генеральный директор аргентинского подразделения криптобиржи Bitso Хуан Коломбо (Juan Colombo) подтвердил, что страна лидирует по объему стейблкоинов в Южной Америке. В прошлом году на Аргентину пришлось 60% объемов покупок стейблкоинов.

Еще в 2022 году аналитическая компания Chainalysis назвала Аргентину одним из лидеров по использованию токенов с привязкой к фиатным валютам. Особенно это характерно для стран с высокой инфляцией и девальвацией валют.

Not Betting on Goals but on 'Tears': Polymarket Users Argue Over Ronaldo's Final World Cup Match

Title: Beyond Goals, Betting on Tears: Polymarket Users Clash Over Ronaldo's Emotional World Cup Exit On July 6, Portugal's 0-1 loss to Spain in the World Cup round of 16 marked the final tournament for Cristiano Ronaldo. The 41-year-old star's emotional reaction—red eyes, wiping his face, fighting back tears—was captured globally. Concurrently, a fierce debate erupted on the crypto prediction platform Polymarket over a specific market: "Will Ronaldo cry during the 2026 FIFA World Cup?" The market, with over $23 million in volume, saw its "YES" probability surge to 99% after the match, but the result was disputed and entered a final review phase. The core conflict centered on the market's precise rules: it required "clearly visible tears streaming down [Ronaldo's] face" in photos/videos taken on the field or bench area during Portugal's matches. While major media outlets described Ronaldo as "in tears" and footage showed him emotional, "NO" bettors argued visible tear tracks were not conclusively evident, only red eyes and dampness. Polymarket's official clarification on July 8 stated that eligible evidence existed showing Ronaldo crying with visible tears on his face post-match. The dispute now goes to a UMA oracle community vote for resolution. This incident highlights a recurring challenge for prediction markets: they excel with quantifiable events but can spark major controversies over subjective, visual, or emotional interpretations. It also serves as a reminder for participants to scrutinize rule wording meticulously, not rely on general perception. Ultimately, such high-profile disputes drive significant trading volume and attention for the platform.

DeepSeek Secretly Builds AI Chip, Specializing in Inference, Project Started a Year Ago with No Public Recruitments

DeepSeek, the Chinese AI company known for its algorithmic models, is secretly developing its own AI chip to reduce dependence on Nvidia, according to a Reuters report. The chip is designed specifically for AI inference, not training, and the project began approximately a year ago. Currently in early stages, DeepSeek is reportedly in discussions with chip design firms, foundries, and memory suppliers. The company, historically focused on algorithmic efficiency, has been discreetly hiring chip design engineers without public job postings. This move aligns with a global trend where major AI model companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are also pursuing custom chip development. DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng previously highlighted chip shortages as a challenge. While the company initially trained models on Nvidia H800s and later adapted to Huawei's Ascend chips, it now seeks greater control over its hardware foundation. Designing a competitive AI chip is a significant challenge, requiring years and substantial investment with no guarantee of success. However, DeepSeek's efforts are backed by a recent major funding round of approximately 51 billion RMB (about $7.4 billion) raised in June 2026. The funds are designated for expanding data centers based on domestic chips, developing proprietary AI chips, and recruiting top global talent. Infrastructure plans are also advancing, with job postings for data center design engineers, including projects in locations like Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia. The company remains characteristically low-key, with sources speaking anonymously and no official comment from DeepSeek itself. Nevertheless, this initiative marks a strategic expansion from software algorithms into the hardware layer that powers its AI systems.
