According to monitoring by Lookonchain, Monochrome Exchange, an Australian digital asset management company founded by Jeff Yew, former co-founder and CEO of Binance Australia, has launched the MCR token IEO, raising over 5.5 million USDT to date.The total supply of MCR is 210 million tokens, of which 5%, or 10.5 million tokens, are allocated for this public IEO. The IEO tokens will be locked for 1 month after the TGE, followed by a 3-month linear release. MCR holders can enjoy discounts on spot and derivatives trading fees, priority subscription rights for Digital IPOs and token issuances, and can earn rewards through staking, enhance Launchpad quota weight, and participate in node programs, while also engaging in platform governance through Monochrome DAO.20% of the platform's net profit will be used for open market repurchases of MCR and destruction each quarter, while 25% of the Digital IPO fee income will be included in the quarterly repurchase and destruction fund, aiming to continuously reduce the circulating supply of MCR through platform business growth.On September 13, 2021, Monochrome announced the completion of a $1.8 million Series A financing round, co-led by Litecoin founder Charlie Lee, Blockstream Chief Strategy Officer Samson Mow, former Binance Chief Financial Officer Wei Zhou, and founders of Blueshyft and DeFi protocol Synthetix, Kain Warwick, with a post-investment valuation of approximately $15 million.On August 18, 2022, Monochrome Asset Management obtained the country's first financial services license (AFSL), which will be used to issue cryptocurrency-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

According to reports from China News Service, multiple South Korean media outlets believe that the recent sharp decline in the stock market is interpreted as a shock from the listing of China's largest semiconductor company, Changxin Technology. The market is worried that Changxin Technology will use the funds raised from its stock market listing to catch up with semiconductor companies like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, and this concern has spread, leading to a setback in investor sentiment.According to a previous report by CNBC, Z-Ben Advisors analyst Peter Alexander believes that, referencing the development paths of the steel and new energy vehicle industries, Changxin Technology will quickly seize market share in the low-end memory chip market and ultimately shake the monopoly positions of Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology in the global memory industry.

According to market news, Goldman Sachs reported on July 18 that the Dark Side of the Moon released the Kimi K3 model, with 28 trillion parameters, surpassing Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol on the Arena.ai programming leaderboard, reaching a new high for Chinese models with an API pricing of $2.3 per million tokens. Two days after the release, Zhiyu fell by 28%, MiniMax dropped by 16%, the Nasdaq 100 index futures fell by more than 1.8%, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has cumulatively dropped by more than 18% from its peak.Goldman Sachs believes that Kimi K3 marks a turning point: a Chinese laboratory that cannot match the largest pre-trained computing power in the West has rapidly narrowed the gap with top American models through architectural innovation and reinforcement learning, proving that "scaling" is no longer the only winning path. Goldman Sachs warns that the "era of computing power expansion" may be coming to an end, and the investment logic for AI infrastructure built around "the more computing power, the better" needs to be rewritten. Goldman Sachs maintains a buy rating on MiniMax and a neutral rating on Zhiyu. Future attention will focus on the intensive release of 20-50 trillion parameter models such as Zhiyu GLM, Alibaba Qwen, and MiniMax M3 Pro.

According to CoinDesk, Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin stated that artificial intelligence will be a key turning point in the next phase of development for the cryptocurrency industry. However, if computing power and infrastructure are controlled by a few large tech companies, it could pose systemic risks.In the future, AI agents could autonomously execute transactions, collaborate, and verify on blockchain networks, becoming the foundation of a "machine economy." Cryptographic technology and decentralized systems will ensure transparency and accountability, allowing machines to supervise each other.Additionally, he believes that traditional finance and DeFi are accelerating their integration, driving the global economy towards a more refined and programmable direction, while the risks of quantum computing are a long-term manageable issue that Ethereum developers have already prepared for.

According to Jinshi News, BlackRock is setting its sights on a long-dominated segment of the $13.7 trillion U.S. ETF market by Invesco: tracking the Nasdaq 100 Index.According to documents submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Monday, the iShares Nasdaq 100 ETF will track this index, with the trading code IQQ. If the fund is launched, IQQ will become one of the few U.S.-listed ETFs specifically tracking the Nasdaq 100 Index and the first of its kind not managed by Invesco.Since the Nasdaq Exchange launched the index in 1985, it has been relatively cautious about authorizing its use. Although there are ETF products in the U.S. market that overlay Nasdaq 100 constituents through derivatives, Invesco has almost monopolized the market for pure Nasdaq 100 Index ETFs.This partnership has given rise to the Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1, with a scale of $374 billion, which is one of the largest ETFs in the world, as well as the Invesco Nasdaq 100 ETF, with a scale of $70 billion.

Eric Trump, the second son of Donald Trump, stated on social media, "Those so-called 'big banks'—institutions that have long monopolized the market and exploited customers, paying almost no interest on retail money market accounts for years while charging high fees on low-balance accounts—are now doing everything they can to obstruct the crypto industry from providing real benefits, privileges, and rewards on their platforms.They are in a state of collective panic because they know they are losing the competition in digital finance."

Neo co-founder and core developer Erik Zhang accused NEO founder Da Hongfei of failing to fulfill financial disclosure commitments. Erik Zhang stated that, according to a clear agreement reached during a recent phone call, starting from January 1, 2026, Da Hongfei will focus on the operation and development of NeoX and SpoonOS, and will no longer participate in any matters related to the Neo mainnet. He called for Da Hongfei to immediately provide the community with a complete and verifiable financial report, including a detailed list of all assets managed by the Neo Foundation (NF) and a breakdown of all expenditures, to address the community's long-standing reasonable concerns regarding transparency and governance.NEO founder Da Hongfei responded by stating that Erik Zhang controls the vast majority of Neo funds, influences consensus node voting, and is unhesitatingly hijacking the protocol at the expense of the community and token holders. He had urged Erik to transfer the NEO/GAS tokens from his personal custody to the foundation's multi-signature address—while he himself still retains the identity of a key holder. However, Erik Zhang always finds excuses to delay this process.

The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) recently sent a letter to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), requesting the rejection of the national trust bank charter application from Coinbase's subsidiary, Coinbase National Trust Co. They stated that the application does not meet statutory standards and warned that approval would set a "dangerous precedent" for the U.S. banking system.In response, Coinbase's Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal strongly stated that the ICBA's actions are "blatant protectionism," attempting to monopolize regulatory pathways, eliminate competitors, and stifle crypto innovation. He said, "They oppose our obtaining a compliant charter not because we do not meet regulations, but because they would rather see the crypto industry excluded from the regulatory framework to maintain the old financial privilege barriers."
