The SEC just formally proposed Regulation Crypto ******* ets, a new offering framework that would let crypto projects raise up to $5M through a one-time startup exemption or up to $75M annually through a tiered fundraising exemption.
The exemptions: The startup lane allows $5M over four years with no accredited-investor requirement or per-investor cap. The fundraising lane allows $75M every 12 months, split into a $20M Tier 1 and $75M Tier 2, with Tier 2 issuers needing audited financials and ongoing reporting, and non-accredited buyers capped at 10% of income or net worth. Tokens sold under either lane wouldn't carry a rule-based resale lockup.
The safe harbor: Once a team finishes, or permanently drops, the managerial work it promised, its token can shed "investment contract" status for good—a formalized version of the concept the SEC's March interpretive guidance first floated. The rule would also preempt state-level securities registration for these offerings and certain secondary trades.
What's missing: The SEC's separate "innovation exemption," expected to let firms tokenize actual securities like stocks and trade them onchain, wasn't part of Tuesday's release. The agency explicitly said it isn't touching registered-offering rules for "digital securities" this round, so tokenized equities on public blockchains remain unaddressed.
Why the delay: CoinDesk reported the tokenization piece had been expected to land alongside the fundraising rule before the SEC abruptly pulled an Aug. 14 meeting. The holdup has been tied to White House concerns about muddying live CLARITY Act talks, internal questions over the SEC's own statutory authority, and Wall Street's SIFMA objecting to using exemptive relief for market-structure changes.

Altcoins, which are cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), are usually considered speculative and volatile investments. But they're also high-risk, high-reward tokens that could have much greater upside potential than Bitcoin.
Two of the market's most closely watched altcoins are XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) and Ether (CRYPTO: ETH). Both altcoins have struggled over the past year as fears of interest rate hikes and other macro headwinds drove investors toward more conservative investments, but will one recover faster than the other when the crypto market warms up again?

XRP is the native token of the XRP Ledger, a blockchain that was designed to provide fast, low-cost cross-border payments. It was created by the founders of Ripple, a fintech company that specializes in blockchain-based money transfers. It's still primarily used as a bridge currency for fiat transactions on Ripple's platform, but it's being adopted by other financial institutions (especially in **** an) to accelerate cross-border transactions with lower fees. The bulls believe XRP's value will rise as its ledger replaces those legacy financial rails.
Ether is the native token of Ethereum, the world's largest proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain. As a PoS blockchain, it supports staking (locking up tokens to earn yield) and smart contracts (for developing decentralized apps and other tokenized **** ets). Every time a user makes a transaction on Ethereum, they must pay a "gas fee" in Ether. Therefore, Ether's value is driven by Ethereum's ability to draw more developers and decentralized app users to its ecosystem.

WASHINGTON, Aug 18 (Reuters) - The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday proposed a new regulatory framework for crypto ***** ets, the first major step under U.S. President Donald Trump's administration to give the industry the ‌tailored rules it has long pushed for.
The SEC's proposal would exempt certain crypto companies and offerings from U.S. securities ‌rules, which should make it easier for crypto companies to issue tokens and raise money.
The agency "seeks to provide crypto ***** et entrepreneurs and market participants with clear pathways to raise capital under the federal securities laws," Paul Atkins, the SEC's Trump-appointed chair, said in a statement.
Trump, who courted crypto cash on the campaign trail and whose family has profited from its own crypto endeavors, has prioritized reform for the sector in his second administration.
Under his Republican leaders, the SEC ended a crackdown on the crypto industry, moving swiftly last year to rescind ‌stringent crypto accounting guidance and dismiss lawsuits against ⁠Coinbase, Binance and others that the agency had alleged were flouting its rules.

CBRS slides 13% and AMD falls 5% in a classic buy-the-rumor unwind ahead of tonight's Supernova livestream at 6:30 PM ET.
Uniform selling in MU and COHR signals wholesale de-risking, not company-specific news, as the 30-year Treasury yield hits a 19-year high of 5.25%.
Act now: the **** yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and AMD didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.
Shares of AI hardware names are broadly lower at midday Tuesday, hours ahead of Cerebras' flagship SUPERNOVA product event, which begins at 3:30 PM Pacific Time (6:30 PM ET). Cerebras Systems (NASDAQ:CBRS) is down 13% to $220, while Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) has slid 7% and AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) is off 5%.
The selloff is a classic buy-the-rumor, sell-the-news setup layered on top of a broader macro rotation. Cerebras surged into Tuesday's event on a Wedbush endorsement and OpenAI's confirmation that its GPT-5.6 Sol Ultrafast mode, capable of up to 750 output tokens per second, will run exclusively on Cerebras' Wafer-Scale Engine. Morgan Stanley also reaffirmed Overweight and raised its price target Monday, projecting core revenue to more than triple by 2027.

Most of the world's top cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), have struggled over the past year as inflation, fears of interest rate hikes, and other macro challenges drove investors toward more conservative investments. Bitcoin, which set a record high of over $126,000 last October, now trades at around $64,000. Ethereum, which reached an all-time high of nearly $5,000 last August, has dropped below $1,900.
That "crypto winter" will likely persist until those headwinds dissipate. However, there's one sector of the crypto market that continues to grow as conventional tokens fizzle out. According to CoinShares, deposits of real-world ******* ets (RWAs) on blockchains more than tripled year over year to $7.4 billion in the second quarter of 2026. Let's see why that niche market is expanding, and how investors can profit from its future growth.

Tokenized RWAs are physical or traditional financial ******* ets -- including stocks, bonds, commodities, real estate, and even fine art -- that are digitized into tokens on a blockchain. That tokenization makes those ******* ets easier to transfer and cuts out the middlemen.
Tokenized stocks and bonds can be traded 24/7 at faster speeds and lower fees than traditional brokerages and banks. Tokenized commodities, such as gold and silver, can be traded easily, with instant liquidity and no physical storage issues. Tokenized real estate and art can be sold much faster, with ownership easily split into fractional shares among multiple buyers. Stablecoins, which are pegged to stable fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar or the euro, can be traded faster and more cheaply while earning higher yields than their conventional counterparts.

On August 13, Alphabet's (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google unveiled Gemini 3.7 Flash, a new AI model built for coding and automated business tasks. The launch came without word on when the company's flagship Gemini 3.5 Pro model will arrive, a gap investors have watched closely as a gauge of whether Google's DeepMind unit can keep pace with Anthropic and OpenAI. It also landed the same week that Alphabet closed a $25 billion bond sale and posted its first-ever negative free cash flow quarter.
Gemini 3.7 Flash arrived just three weeks after Gemini 3.6 Flash, a pace that signals Google is iterating quickly on the models it hopes will power autonomous AI agents. The new model targets businesses building systems that can plan tasks, use software tools, and complete multi-step workflows with less human oversight, and Google says it shows improved performance on coding tasks including debugging, issue resolution, and production-ready code generation. To win over developers, Google priced Gemini 3.7 Flash at 75 cents per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens through the end of the year, half the original cost of Gemini 3.6 Flash. It is also rolling out immediately to Gemini Spark, Google's subscription AI agent service available in more than 160 countries.
That pricing sits alongside a cloud business converting AI investment into revenue. Google Cloud's backlog has climbed to $514 billion, and Alphabet expects to recognize a little more than half of it as revenue over the next 24 months. Alphabet also holds more than $240 billion in cash and marketable securities, giving it room to keep funding its buildout as free cash flow comes under pressure.
Alphabet's capital expenditures are now guided to $195 billion to $205 billion for 2026, up from $91 billion in 2025 and $53 billion in 2024. Second-quarter capex alone was $45 billion, double the year-earlier figure, pushing Alphabet to a quarterly free cash flow loss of $5.9 billion. Buybacks have gone to zero, and Alphabet raised roughly $56 billion in debt plus about $50 billion from stock sales in the first half to help cover the gap.
That borrowing culminated in a $25 billion, ten-tranche bond sale that closed Monday, ranging from notes due in 2028 to a $2.5 billion tranche not due until 2066. Much of that money funds servers and networking gear that Alphabet itself depreciates over about six years, meaning a large share of this year's spending will need to be repaid all over again long before the longest bonds come due.

In a nutshell, the value of your tokens left in a liquidity pool will likely be lower than if you had just held those same tokens in your crypto wallet. This "loss" occurs when the token pair diverges in price due to how automated market makers (AMMs) calculate swap values. However, you'll also earn swap fees that offset your impermanent loss. Swap fees often cover the difference, leaving you with a net gain.
If you're new to providing liquidity in decentralized finance (DeFi), you've probably encountered the term impermanent loss (IL), accompanied by some confusing math. The good news is that IL is less complicated than it seems.
IL isn't the boogeyman it's often portrayed as; it is better described as an opportunity cost rather than a loss. In some ways, it's like renting out a house for ongoing income rather than selling it in pristine condition at the market peak. Renting leaves some wear and tear, but you're getting paid along the way.

Three crypto companies, Bitdeer (BTDR), Forward Industries (FWDI), and Bit Digital (BTBT), report quarterly earnings this week, each coming off a quarter deep in the red.
The three prints span exposure to major tokens, including Bitcoin (BTC), Solana (SOL), and Ethereum (ETH). All three **** ets fell last quarter, likely driving heavy paper losses. Now the earnings will show how deep the damage ran.
Bitdeer opens the week on Monday. It will report its second-quarter 2026 results before the US market opens on Monday, August 10, at around 7:00 a.m. ET
In the first quarter, Bitdeer reported a $159.5 million net loss, pressured by weaker cryptocurrency prices. Revenue, however, rose to $188.9 million, while adjusted EBITDA remained positive at $14.4 million.
The second-quarter results come amid a strong period for Bitdeer shares. BTDR gained roughly 83% during Q2, significantly outperforming Bitcoin, which fell 14.08% over the same period.

Australian AI infrastructure startup Firmus Technologies has received full commitments for a $2bn strategic equity investment round, as it moves ahead with its Project Southgate AI Factory rollout across Australia.
The round includes follow-on participation from Coatue and Nvidia, as well as new investment from funds managed by Blackstone Tactical Opportunities and other Blackstone vehicles, which the company collectively referred to as Blackstone. Global trading and technology firm Jane Street is also participating.
Firmus said the funding will support the next phase of Project Southgate in Australia and help prepare for expansion into other Asia-Pacific markets.
The company said it already manufactures its proprietary HyperCube platform in Australia and has grid-aware software in place. It added that the new capital will help accelerate its domestic rollout and support targeted investments tied to future expansion.
Firmus said it is developing an AI infrastructure based on Nvidia's DSX AI Factory Reference Architecture to speed up deployment, improving tokens per watt, and boosting resiliency at scale.

DeepSeek gave Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) a revealing price comparison on August 3. Artificial ***** ysis estimated that DeepSeek's V4-Flash averaged just $0.03 to complete each test in its benchmark suite while scoring 50 on its Intelligence Index, matching Google's Gemini 3.6 Flash.
Three cents is the average cost of completing each benchmark test, not a normal customer query, and the index combines nine coding, reasoning, and workplace tests. More capable models from Moonshot, OpenAI and Anthropic scored at least seven points higher. Still, V4-Flash costs $0.14 per million input tokens and $0.28 per million output tokens. That makes model intelligence cheap enough to pressure pricing for routine enterprise workloads.
Source: unsplash
Alibaba has two ways to monetize that pressure. Alibaba Cloud's AI Gateway already supports DeepSeek V4 APIs and can route workloads between DeepSeek and Qwen. Alibaba also unveiled its own 2.4-trillion-parameter Qwen3.8-Max on August 3, sending its Hong Kong shares up 7%. Its cloud revenue grew 38% in the March quarter, external cloud revenue rose 40%, and AI products reached 30% of external cloud sales. The catch is severe spending: group revenue rose only 3%, while Alibaba plans to exceed its earlier RMB380 billion three-year AI commitment and is treating margins as secondary.
What that creates is a demanding unit-economics test. Lower inference prices can pull customers into Alibaba Cloud, but revenue compounds only if workload volume grows faster than prices fall and those users also buy storage, networking and databases.

BlackRock has launched tokenized share classes for a range of European money market funds holding a combined $311 billion, its first on-chain fund access in Europe.
The 12 new share classes sit across six funds in the BlackRock Institutional Cash Series, covering euro, sterling and U.S. dollar strategies in both distributing and accumulating form. Tokens are minted on Ethereum using Kinexys, J.P. Morgan's blockchain unit, which handles minting and burning and acts as the layer between on-chain activity and the traditional share register.
Each token represents a share in the underlying fund, and the official shareholder register continues to be maintained by the fund's transfer agent. Smart contracts move holdings between approved investor wallets, which BlackRock said delivers round-the-clock peer-to-peer transferability and near real-time visibility.
"Today's launches represent an important evolution in how investors access and manage cash, while helping modernise capital markets infrastructure," Beccy Milchem, Global Head of Cash Distribution and Head of the International Cash Management business at BlackRock, said in a press release shared with Decrypt.
Kara Kennedy, global head of market development at Kinexys, noted that, "Tokenization has moved from concept to execution," while BlackRock pointed to corporate treasury management, digital collateral and bank and wealth distribution channels as the use cases it expects the structure to open up.

Customers sued over 60 tokens, including XRP and dogecoin, that they claimed were unregistered securities, seeking unspecified damages in the proposed class action.

• The judge also said ‌customers may pursue claims over "inventory" ⁠transactions, where Coinbase fills orders from tokens it owns. These accounted for the remaining trading volume, comprising at least $178 million in sales.

Grayscale Research says Hyperliquid's HYPE (CRYPTO: $HYPE) token remains inexpensive beside fintech and crypto stocks, even as shares of its largest public-market treasury vehicle trade lower.
The ****** et manager valued Hyperliquid using "earnings per token," applying an equity-style framework to the protocol's fee generation and token supply. Grayscale expects Hyperliquid to produce roughly $1 billion in earnings in 2027, about 20% above 2025 levels, supported by recovering crypto trading volumes and a new stablecoin revenue stream.
With approximately 270 million HYPE circulating, Grayscale expects supply to reach between 270 million and 310 million tokens by the end of 2027. That would place projected earnings per token between $3.25 and $3.75.

Circle (NYSE: CRCL) issues USD Coin (CRYPTO: USDC), the world's second-largest stablecoin and the most widely used stablecoin in the United States. USD Coin is backed by Circle's own U.S. dollars and Treasuries, and the company generates most of its revenue from the interest earned on those deposits (known as its reserve income). Circle recently won a U.S. bank charter, and its firm compliance with U.S. regulations makes it an appealing choice for institutional investors.
Circle's revenue will keep rising as long as it continues to mint more USDC tokens for investors who want a faster, more digitally flexible alternative to real U.S. dollars. In a recent CNBC interview, Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire claimed the entire stablecoin market could grow from about $1 trillion today to tens of trillions of dollars over the coming years. But does that mean Circle's stock will grow at the same rate as the broader stablecoin market?

Binance added Across Protocol (ACX), Lisk (LSK), and Stacks (STX) to its Monitoring Tag on July 24, signaling all three now carry delisting risk on the world's largest crypto exchange.
The tag marks tokens that show higher volatility and risk than other listed **** ets. Binance reviews these projects regularly and can delist them if they fail to meet its criteria.
The Monitoring Tag is Binance's warning system for **** ets it deems higher risk. It does not remove a token right away.
Instead, it puts projects on notice. Binance weighs team commitment, development activity, trading volume, network stability, and tokenomics changes during each review. Evidence of fraud or negligence can also trigger the tag.
"These tokens are closely monitored, with regular reviews conducted. Keep in mind that tokens with the Monitoring Tag are at risk of no longer meeting our listing criteria and being delisted from the platform," the exchange said.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) has gone down by 7% today and has accumulated a 15% drop in the past 7 days after a handful of whales reportedly cashed out on their early HYPE bets.
Yesterday, the crypto ****** ytics firm Lookonchain revealed that Multicoin Capital transferred nearly 400,000 HYPE tokens to Coinbase Prime and requested to unstake almost 212,000 tokens less than a month after they published a bullish report on this cryptocurrency.
In a piece ****** led "Hyperliquid (HYPE) ****** ysis & Valuation," Multicoin stated that "Hyperliquid's trajectory looks eerily similar to Binance's early years."
They also set forth a long-term target of $319 for the token, claiming that, at $63, it was currently trading at 36 times its trailing twelve months (TTM) earnings. They projected $8 billion in annual profits by 2028, which, at a 20x price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple, results in a potential 5x gain.
However, this recent move to cash out of Hyperliquid's short-term gains has raised eyebrows about the firm's motivations to publish this report among the crypto community.
