Ethereum developer Toni Wahrstätter posted on the X platform that Ethereum core developers are planning the next annual upgrade "Hegotá," with 66 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) currently on the candidate list. Future core developer meetings will screen these proposals to finalize the upgrade content that can be implemented, tested on the development network, deployed on the test network, and has the potential to go live in 2027. Proposals that do not make it into Hegotá will be postponed until the next hard fork, making the current screening process significantly impactful for Ethereum's future development direction.Currently, FOCIL (Fork-Choice Enforced Inclusion Lists) has been identified as one of the important upgrade contents for Hegotá. Developers believe that combining framework transactions (EIP-8141), keying Nonce (EIP-8250), and root references (EIP-8272) will help build native privacy capabilities, allowing privacy applications to operate without relying on third-party intermediaries. Additionally, enhancing scalability is also a crucial direction for Hegotá. Developers propose that it is necessary to prepare for a future increase in the Gas limit to 600 million by repricing data resources (EIP-8131, EIP-8279) and state growth costs (EIP-8368). Although these improvements are not as intuitive as privacy features, they are considered key work to promote Ethereum's scalability in the short term.Other candidate upgrades include shorter block times (EIP-8198), adjustments to the issuance mechanism (EIP-8363), anti-correlation penalty mechanisms (EIP-7716), EVM optimization and simplification, as well as discussions on the first EIPs related to zkEVM and quantum-resistant cryptography. It is reported that Hegotá cannot incorporate all the features the community expects, and the core team needs to make trade-offs between "future vision" and "near-term deliverable upgrades," with most candidate EIPs likely not making it into this upgrade. Currently, it has been 256 days since the launch of the current Glamsterdam upgrade, with the goal of completing deployment by the end of this year. Hegotá is planned to go live in 2027, and in the coming months, core developers and the community will discuss the priorities of various EIPs. Community opinions will still play a role in the screening process, and participants who support or oppose a certain EIP entering Hegotá can present their views to the core development team through public discussions.

Swissblock stated that the initial momentum launch of Bitcoin failed to form an effective breakthrough, and the momentum indicators have now returned to the "transition zone."If BTC can hold the range of $62,300 to $62,500, the current consolidation structure is still expected to be maintained.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reviewing the rule change application submitted by Cboe BZX Exchange, involving six leveraged commodity ETFs that track the benchmark's daily performance by three times. The initial review period set by the SEC is 45 days after publication in the Federal Register.Volatility Shares LLC is the sponsor of the relevant funds, which include 3x Gold, Silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Crude Oil, and Natural Gas ETFs, all intended to operate under a commodity pool and not classified as investment companies.

ElizaOS founder Shaw accused daos.fun founder baoskee of insider trading during the renaming and migration process of the ai16z project, claiming that he profited approximately $6.6 million by selling ai16z. Shaw stated that in June 2025, the project team promised to launch Snapshot voting so that the community could decide whether to rename the project, after a16z had requested a name change to avoid trademark disputes.Shaw claimed that, despite the voting mechanism not being launched as promised, baoskee sold all ai16z in the daos.fun execution wallet after being aware of the pressure to rename and the subsequent migration arrangements, and continued to sell before the project migrated to elizaOS, causing the token price to drop. Shaw believes that baoskee had information that other holders did not possess at that time. In response, baoskee denied the allegations, stating that the Snapshot voting had actually been launched, and that daos.fun had also self-funded to increase and lock over $1 million in ai16z liquidity. He also countered that Shaw had serious issues regarding project operations, token migration, and the use of development funds. Currently, there are significant discrepancies between the two parties' statements, and Shaw indicated that he would attach relevant Solscan on-chain records at the end of the article.

According to third-party 13F platform Giantsight, as of June 30, approximately 1,697 reporting entities disclosed their positions in SpaceX, covering various types of funds including pre-listing investors, venture capital, asset management institutions, and pensions.SEC filings show that Alphabet, Google's parent company, reported holding 551 million shares of SpaceX (valued at $94.18 billion), making it the largest 13F reported position currently; Valor Management holds 503 million shares ($86.01 billion), FMR LLC holds 303 million shares ($51.66 billion), Gigafund Management holds 172 million shares ($29.36 billion), and the Saudi Public Investment Fund holds 154 million shares ($26.34 billion), while BAMCO under Baron holds 146 million shares ($24.91 billion).Other key reporting entities include Nvidia holding 123 million shares ($20.98 billion), Baillie Gifford holding 51.4 million shares ($8.78 billion), BlackRock holding 51.04 million common shares ($8.72 billion), Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan holding 50.68 million shares ($8.66 billion), and Harvard University's endowment holding 12.935 million shares ($2.21 billion).In terms of source of holdings, Alphabet and Gigafund are pre-listing investors in SpaceX; Nvidia's position in SpaceX comes from its prior investment in xAI.

On that day, SpaceX closed at $170.86, and as of August 14, it closed at $140, a decline of approximately 18.1% from the end of the quarter. If the number of shares held has not changed, the current market value of the related common stock positions would correspondingly decrease.

IREN Co-Founder and Co-CEO Daniel Roberts stated that each new AI data center will further increase rather than decrease AI demand.Roberts believes that simply comparing the current AI infrastructure cycle to past technology booms is misleading. More powerful AI requires more computing power, and lower-cost AI will drive more users and applications to use AI.He pointed out that each leap in AI capabilities creates a large number of new application scenarios that did not exist before, so demand can grow rapidly at the pace of software development, but the supply of computing power cannot expand at the same speed.The construction of computing power infrastructure is limited by real-world conditions such as power access, transmission lines, concrete, steel, and construction personnel, making it difficult to quickly increase the speed of supply expansion.Roberts stated that in past technology boom cycles, technological advancements often helped the supply side catch up with demand, but the current AI technology itself is driving demand to grow exponentially, while the speed of infrastructure construction in the real world struggles to keep up.

According to CoinGlass data, the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index has been in a negative premium range for 90 consecutive days from May 19 to August 16, with the latest report at -0.1066%, setting a new record for the longest continuous negative premium since the index was launched.The previous longest record was 40 consecutive days from January 16 to February 24 this year, which also exceeded the approximately 30 days of continuous negative premium during last year's "1011 crash." The Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index is used to measure the price difference of Bitcoin between Coinbase Pro and Binance. A sustained negative index usually indicates that Coinbase's pricing is relatively low, reflecting weaker buying in the U.S. market or greater selling pressure, but it should not be solely relied upon to directly conclude that institutional funds are flowing out.
