Binance founder Zhao Changpeng stated at Binance Square: Too many people are trying to overinterpret "What does this mean?" Today, I tested Trust Wallet and found too many Meme tokens in the wallet, so many that it was hard to even find BNB, so I tried to burn some tokens. As a result, even this action sparked quite a bit of community discussion. I realized that I could never "clean up" the meme coins on this address. The more I burn, the more people will send coins to this address. The transparent nature of blockchain means that any action on this address will be overinterpreted by the community.I even considered asking the Trust Wallet team to create an "Ignore Coin" feature to avoid cluttering the interface, but 99.99% of people wouldn't use this feature at all. So the plan is as follows: I will donate BNB and the "Binance Life" tokens purchased with BNB to Giggle Academy. After that, I will stop using this address and turn it into a burn address.

According to Cryptopolitan, the Kenya National Examinations Council has begun writing the country's academic records onto the Avalanche C-Chain for instant online certificate verification. Currently, over 15 million records have been put on-chain, and the system is expected to expand to about 35 million records, covering junior high school, high school, advanced diplomas, and teacher certification.Previously, verifying paper certificates took weeks to months and there were issues with forgery. The project is being implemented by a local tech company on the LegitDoc platform.

According to the official blog of Ava Labs, the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) announced that through a local technology service provider, it has anchored national academic certification data to the Avalanche C-Chain, officially establishing a national electronic certification system.The system has already recorded over 15 million historical academic records on-chain, dating back to 1989, and nearly 1 million KCSE candidates' certificates for 2025 have now been exclusively issued through this platform.In the future, the system is expected to cover approximately 35 million verifiable records, encompassing various educational levels including primary school, secondary school, higher diplomas, and government teacher training certifications. The new system will significantly compress the verification time from the original weeks or even months to seconds, completely replacing the old processes that relied on manual reviews and traditional databases, effectively preventing fraud such as certificate forgery and counterfeit verification websites.KNEC CEO David Njengere stated that candidates can now securely access, download, and verify their KCSE certificates online without having to rely on physical certificates.

Binance founder CZ responded on the X platform to the recent controversy regarding Giggle Academy selling donation tokens, stating that he personally "has not communicated with the Giggle team regarding the recent sale," and that the address is not managed by him personally. He pointed out that Giggle Academy has a practice of "exchanging most donation tokens for BNB at the end of each month" to fund free education programs for children worldwide, which have benefited over 1 million children in less than two years.CZ further stated that when sending or donating tokens to others, if there is no prior agreement, one should not expect the recipient to act according to the donor's wishes (such as destroying the tokens), as "that would only add extra work for the recipient." He emphasized that "if it is called a donation, one should expect them to use it," and questioned, "if one expects them to destroy it, how can it be called a donation?" Additionally, CZ expressed support for all meme coins and revealed that "he may buy or sell one or two (meme coins) in the coming weeks to test some new things."

According to Fortune, the prediction market platform Polymarket has established the Polymarket Institute, a new organization dedicated to researching prediction market information discovery and forecasting mechanisms, fully funded by Polymarket but without disclosing the specific amount.The institute will set up a "Scientific Scholarship" program to fund doctoral researchers conducting research in related fields, initially recruiting 12 researchers, each of whom will receive a one-time grant of $10,000. To ensure research independence, researchers are prohibited from trading on platforms like Polymarket during their tenure and retain the unconditional right to publish any research findings (even if unfavorable to Polymarket). The funding will adopt a university donation model rather than commissioned research to avoid Polymarket having editorial influence over the results.Polymarket's Chief Data Officer Kai Brusch will serve as the Managing Director of the institute, and Carnegie Mellon University Assistant Professor of Economics and Technology Brian Jabarian will serve as the Scientific Director. To avoid conflicts of interest, Jabarian will not receive personal compensation for this role.

According to Caixin, Zhao Yao, a special researcher at the Payment and Clearing Research Center of the Financial Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, stated that recent offshore digital asset platforms have launched on-chain trading products around Chinese technology companies such as Changxin Technology. This indicates that global digital financial platforms are creating trading exposure around high-quality Chinese technology assets, organizing price expectations, trading liquidity, and cross-border capital entry in advance. Although these products do not correspond to A-share equity, they are synthetic perpetual contracts or pre-market perpetual contracts settled in stablecoins such as USDC and USDT. However, if offshore platforms take the lead in forming a continuous trading market for technology assets, it may weaken the pricing dominance of domestic capital markets over technology assets.Zhao Yao suggested accelerating the construction of digital financial infrastructure for the renminbi, promoting the coordinated development of tokenized deposits by commercial banks, wholesale CBDC, and tokenization of technology assets, and exploring pilot projects for technology asset tokenization in Hong Kong to enhance the capital organization capability and international pricing power of the renminbi in global technology financial competition.

Cascade announced on the X platform that the incident involving the withdrawal of CLS funds has been resolved, and the parties involved have cooperated to return all stolen funds.All users holding funds in CLS will be able to receive a 100% full compensation based on the value as of July 15, 2025, 21:08:00 UTC. The claims function will be opened in the coming days.ChainCatcher previously reported that MAX, the administrator of the multi-asset perpetual contract platform Cascade Discord, stated in the channel that the Cascade CLS treasury allegedly encountered a security vulnerability, resulting in a loss of approximately $1.3 million. The platform has currently suspended all trading and withdrawals and has invited SEAL 911 and other third-party security teams to investigate and handle the situation.

According to a report by CCTV Finance, Wei Liang, Vice President of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, stated that the daily Token call volume in our country has surged from about 100 billion at the beginning of 2024 to 140 trillion by the end of March 2026, an increase of over a thousand times.Intelligent agents are giving rise to a brand new economic form, known as the "Token economy." Token, in Chinese, is called 词元, and it is an important unit for large models to process information and measure model invocation costs. Its growth rate is the most intuitive barometer of industrial development.In the era of intelligent agents, a single user command may trigger multiple rounds of model calls and resource consumption, directly driving an explosion in demand for artificial intelligence computing power. With the large-scale application of intelligent agents, a series of new models surrounding Token measurement, scheduling, pricing, and trading are beginning to take shape.

On July 17, Interlace and BlockSec jointly held the summit "The Next Decade of Payments: Digital Currency, AI Agents, and the New Global Financial Order." The event brought together industry guests from AI, Web3, security, and payments to discuss the development trends of stablecoin payments, security compliance, AI agents, and global payment infrastructure.BlockSec co-founder Zhou Yajin and Interlace founder and CEO Michael Wu delivered keynote speeches on "Security and Compliance in Crypto Payments" and "Agentic Payment and the New Infrastructure of Global Finance," respectively, sharing their latest observations on the development trends of digital asset payments. As the scenarios for stablecoin payments continue to expand, the security compliance system and the construction of a new generation of payment infrastructure are becoming key supports for driving industry development. In the future, payment infrastructure will not only serve the function of capital flow but will also further evolve into a programmable, trusted, and verifiable value transfer system, providing underlying support for the connection between digital assets and real-world commerce.At the event, Interlace also officially released the white paper "The Value Transmission Layer of the AI Economy: From Concept to Implementation." The white paper was jointly initiated with ecosystem partners such as Bitget, BlockSec, Cobo, Conflux, Stable, Xagent, and Hetu, systematically defining the architecture, standards, and implementation paths of Agentic Payment infrastructure, providing a reference for value transfer in the era of the AI economy.

Stablecoin issuer Tether announced a strategic financing round investment of $20 million in the Latin American on-chain financial services platform Mercado Bitcoin to support its development in asset tokenization, payments, credit, capital markets, and compliant digital financial services.Founded in 2013, Mercado Bitcoin has expanded from a digital asset trading platform to a comprehensive on-chain financial infrastructure platform, covering areas such as trading services, tokenized investment products, lending, stablecoin payments, banking infrastructure, and cross-border financial services. The funds from this financing will primarily be used to expand payment infrastructure, increase the scale of tokenized products for institutional and retail investors, develop credit business, advance on-chain capital market construction, seek strategic cooperation opportunities, and promote international expansion.

Michael Saylor stated that the biggest evolution of Bitcoin in the next decade will come from fewer changes at the protocol layer and a greater role in other areas. He believes that the foundational layer of Bitcoin will become more solid, capital markets will continue to deepen, applications will expand, institutions will enter, and the world will build on Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not a tech stock, a payment company, or a software platform competing to add features, but a monetary network whose purpose is not to act quickly and disrupt things, but to move slowly and remain unbroken.Saylor indicated that Bitcoin has won the first important battle, and the world is increasingly understanding that Bitcoin is digital capital, possessing attributes such as scarcity, durability, portability, divisibility, programmability, and global transferability. The strongest version of Bitcoin is not to "replace all payment rails," but to become a neutral, global, scarce asset around which capital, credit, and commerce are organized. The foundational layer is not optimized for coffee payments, but designed for final settlement, reserve assets, collateral settlement, and ultimate ownership transfer.He believes that the four-year cycle of Bitcoin is still important, but no longer the dominant model. In the next decade, Bitcoin's price movements will be driven less by miner issuance and more by capital flows from ETFs, corporate treasuries, sovereign reserves, bank credit, derivatives, insurance, collateral, and global savings. Halving will tighten supply, while capital flows will determine the growth trajectory. Digital credit will accelerate Bitcoin adoption, connecting Bitcoin capital with the broader financial system.Saylor stated that the main question in the next decade is not whether Bitcoin can survive, but whether economic exposure is still connected to real Bitcoin or if too much "paper Bitcoin" is being formed. Custodial transparency, proof of reserves, risk management, capital structure, and counterparty risk will all become important.He expects that by 2036, Bitcoin will be more widely held, more deeply institutionalized, more politically significant, and become an important collateral asset in the digital credit market; while the foundational protocol itself may change less than everything built around it.

Abracadabra Finance announced that it has recognized the depegging issue of the MIM stablecoin and is taking emergency measures. Starting today, it will gradually increase the interest rates of all Cauldrons (including deprecated markets) to encourage debt repayment and reduce the circulating supply of MIM. The current depegging provides borrowers with a natural incentive to repay their debts at a discount, which helps accelerate supply contraction. Direct incentives and Curve bribes will be suspended until MIM regains its peg. The team stated that it is evaluating additional recovery plans and will announce them in a timely manner.Data shows that MIM is currently priced at $0.5027, with a 24-hour decline of 36.65%.
