Currently, the price is still in a high fluctuation range.

Multicoin Capital Co-Creation: Pre-IPO perpetual futures should be launched to allow ordinary US investors to share the AI wealth feast

Comparing news, the first US CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee was held this morning. Multicoin Capital co-founder Tushar Jain put forward three suggestions at the meeting. First, it provides a safe haven or innovative exemption mechanism for emerging markets such as computing power derivatives, and allows developers to test new products and business models under a compliance framework. Second, support DeFi's adoption of compliant privacy and confidentiality tools to ensure the privacy of institutional investors' transactions while providing sufficient transparency for regulators to identify and manage systemic risks. Third, support the launch of pre-IPO perpetual futures (pre-IPO perpetual futures), so that ordinary US investors can participate in wealth growth in emerging industries such as AI, and avoid being excluded due to restrictions on private equity market access, or being forced to participate indirectly through special purpose carriers (SPVs) that lack transparency. At the same time, Jain said that he also had discussions with US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins on the same day, and said he is optimistic about regulators promoting financial innovation and the future development of the US.

Grayscale: Zcash's privacy features may be just what is needed in the AI era, if the market share rises to 5% of value or a 9x increase

Comparing news, Grayscale released a Zcash research report stating that as the development of AI brings new methods of financial monitoring, the privacy characteristics of Zcash may become a necessary function in the AI era. Zcash blocks transactions through zero-knowledge proofs, hides the sender, receiver, and amount, and has cash-like privacy properties. Currently, Zcash blocks about 90% of the transaction volume, and the blocked supply is about 4.2 million ZEC (25% of the circulating supply). According to Grayscale, Zcash's market capitalization is around $8 billion, accounting for only 0.6% of its classified “monetary cryptoassets” sector (with a total market capitalization of $1.4 trillion). If this sector accounts for 5%, the value of ZEC will be 9 times what it is today. The report argues that the market's current valuation of Zcash reflects the assumption that “privacy will remain marginalized,” and that if investors ultimately believe privacy should receive a modest premium, the current valuation may be undervalued. In terms of risk, the report mentions long-term risks such as regulation and quantum computing, but believes that Zcash's shielding technology and selective disclosure tools provide a path for compliance.

Li Feifei warns that anti-AI sentiment in the US is heating up: if there is no positive development path, the world will be affected

Comparing the news, AI pioneer Li Feifei said that the tech industry needs to better explain the value brought by artificial intelligence to the public and warned that growing anti-AI sentiment in the US could pose a risk to global AI development. In an interview with Bloomberg, Li Feifei said that technology practitioners need to strengthen communication with the public to show the positive impact AI technology can bring. She pointed out that “if we don't show a positive attitude and a positive direction of development, everyone will be affected”. The US has an important influence in the field of global technology, and if the US fails to show a “positive AI attitude and development path,” it will eventually affect the entire world. As an important researcher in the field of computer vision, Li Feifei has continued to promote AI technology from laboratories to real-world applications in recent years. World Labs, the AI startup she founded, is dedicated to developing spatial intelligence (Spatial Intelligence) technology to explore AI's ability to understand and interact with the real world. Li Feifei believes that the AI industry is currently facing not only technical challenges, but also issues such as social acceptance, public trust, and the regulatory environment. With the rapid spread of generative AI, concerns about employment impacts, data privacy, and security risks continue to increase, and American society's backlash against AI development is expanding. She emphasized that the AI industry needs to be more proactive in explaining how technology can improve fields such as healthcare, scientific research, and productivity, rather than just focusing on technology competition itself. In recent years, the world's major technology companies have continued to increase investment in AI, promoting the development of technologies such as big models, AI infrastructure, and intelligent agents. But at the same time, issues of AI regulation, employment substitution, and social impact have also become the focus of attention of policy makers and the public.

Daily AI · Crypto · Macro · Market News, Bitpush helps you set priorities ↓ AI · News [Yushu Technology will be listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board on August 19]. Comparing news, Yushu Technology announced that the company's shares will be listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange on August 19, 2026. [Anthropic's annualized revenue surpassed 65 billion US dollars before the IPO] In comparison, according to people familiar with the matter, Anthropic's current performance means that the company's annualized revenue is expected to exceed 65 billion US dollars, an increase of more than seven times from the level at the end of last year. As of the end of July, Anthropic's annual recurring revenue (ARR) had reached $65 billion, according to people familiar with the matter. One of the people familiar with the matter said that Anthropic shared this data when regularly updating investors on the company's situation. The sharp acceleration in revenue has further strengthened Anthropic's confidence in advancing its listing plan. Both Anthropic and OpenAI have secretly submitted documents related to the listing. Anthropic is expected to land on Wall Street as soon as this fall, possibly earlier than OpenAI. [OpenAI Super Data Center officially launched, Nvidia covered up to 105 billion US dollars] Comparing news, OpenAI's Ohio Super Data Center officially signed a contract. This project was previously revealed. At the time, OpenAI was still discussing a long-term lease with SB Energy, and Nvidia was only considering providing a guarantee. Now that the first 4.25 GW has been officially launched, Nvidia can continue to lock in the remaining 3.75 GW. Previously, the two sides discussed guarantees of up to 250 billion US dollars, and in the end, the initial liability was limited to 105 billion US dollars. This isn't money given directly to OpenAI. Only if OpenAI goes bankrupt or doesn't pay rent, and there is still a gap after the project is re-leased or sold, will Nvidia need to make up the difference. After that, OpenAI will also have to pay back the money actually advanced by Nvidia. Nvidia will also invest $1.5 billion in developer SB Energy, and the park will mainly use Nvidia's AI computing power. Hwang In-hoon estimates that each generation of systems deployed here may correspond to about 1.5 million GPUs and 150 billion to 200 billion US dollars in revenue. Until now, outsiders have been questioning that this model is circular financing: Nvidia backs up the customer's infrastructure, and the customer then uses the money to buy Nvidia chips. Hwang In-hoon also specifically responded this time, stressing that Nvidia only bears specific rent, electricity, and asset residual value risks; it is not responsible for the entire project on behalf of OpenAI. Crypto · Market [Ethereum developers plan to prioritize private transaction proposals in the 2027 Hegotá upgrade, FOCIL has confirmed inclusion] In comparison, Ethereum Foundation researcher Toni Wahrstätter said that the protocol architecture team hopes to prioritize Frame Transactions (EIP-8141) and FOCIL (EIP-7805) in the Hegotá upgrade planned for 2027. Frame Transactions can collaborate with Keyed Nonces and Recent Roots (EIP-8272) and Transaction Assertions (EIP-7906) to enable the privacy pool to pay transaction fees and let the wallet set execution conditions after transaction submission. FOCIL can provide agreement layer inclusion guarantees for eligible transactions. Currently, FOCIL is the only proposal that Hegotá has confirmed inclusion, and the Frame Transactions related scheme is one of 66 proposals currently being evaluated. Other candidate solutions include transaction pricing, status growth, block access lists, and optional zkEVM certification for the main network. Vitalik Buterin previously proposed improving Ethereum's privacy, resisting quantum security, and reducing reliance on second-layer networks. Hegotá will follow Glamsterdam, and the developers plan to complete Glamsterdam by the end of 2026.
