The European Union (EU) started applying the transparency rules of the AI Act this Sunday (2). Chatbots operating in the bloc now have to inform users that they are interacting with a machine, and AI-generated image deepfakes need clear labels.
For the first time, the European Commission’s AI Office and national regulators also received enforcement powers. Penalties can reach €35 million or 7% of global annual turnover for violations considered serious.

Michael Saylor made a clear distinction between his personal philosophy about Bitcoin and Strategy’s corporate actions. The statement was made hours after Strategy disclosed its latest operations involving Bitcoin (BTC).
On August 3, 2026, the executive chairman responded to community criticism after Strategy sold 1,638 BTC.
Michael Saylor explains personal philosophy versus corporate reality
“… When I say ‘Never sell your Bitcoin,’ I speak as a saver to other savers. I have never sold any. Not even a satoshi. Strategy is a publicly traded company, not my personal wallet. Since 2020, the company has reported that it can buy or sell BTC to manage capital. Our shared conviction in Bitcoin remains unchanged,” he stated in a post.

Analysts warned that all of Bitcoin’s major drops in 2026 coincided with Japan’s yen defense, supporting the claim with charts that record each intervention amid BTC pullbacks.
Bitcoin is trading near US$62,500 as analysts diverge on the possibility of the asset falling to US$50,000.
The 3 biggest Bitcoin corrections aligned with Japan’s yen defense in 2026
The yen carry trade strategy involves borrowing in the Japanese currency at low cost to invest in higher-yield assets, including cryptocurrencies. A sudden strengthening of the yen forces investors to unwind these positions.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino allegedly asked the Trump administration for help to remain in office, arranging a call with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the New York Post reported this Monday.
Traders at Polymarket estimate Infantino’s departure by December 31 at 36.5%, up from about 19% recorded a week ago. Practically all the trading volume in the contract took place over the past seven days.
Why does Infantino believe Trump owes FIFA a favor?

Spot Ethereum (ETH) ETFs posted their best month since October 2025. However, the last week of July raises doubts about whether institutional interest is already declining.
Inflows fell 74% in the final week, while the Federal Reserve kept rates unchanged. This pullback raises an important question about whether demand will continue in August.
Ethereum ETF inflows reach a 9-month high ahead of investor outflows
Ethereum funds captured $365.17 million in July, the best level in 9 months, according to SoSoValue. The result came after consecutive outflows of $540.88 million in May and $528.99 million in June.

Brazilian fintech NoxPay wants to transform stablecoins into what it calls “global Pix.” According to the company, the working currency of businesses that sell, hire, and pay suppliers in multiple countries should be the stablecoin. Local rails, such as Pix and cards, would only be used at the entry and exit of the money.
A stablecoin is a cryptocurrency pegged to a stable asset, generally the US dollar, created to avoid the volatility of other digital assets.
The proposal replicates what companies like Brex and Conta Simples have done for small and medium-sized businesses. The difference is settlement. Instead of traditional banking infrastructure, NoxPay uses digital dollars.

Strategy added 37 Bitcoin between May 26 and July 26. Last week, it sold 1,638 over seven days. The company now has fewer Bitcoin (BTC) than it had in the spring.

Inventory is declining
The Strategy reported 843.738 BTC on May 26. Two months later, on July 26, it reported 843.775. This represents an increase of 37 coins.

The Bitcoin’s last meeting with the US jobs report resulted in a surge. This Friday’s (31st) release of the same indicator may not be as generous to investors.
On July 2, the June employment data came in well below expectations. The US economy added only 57 thousand jobs, far from the roughly 115 thousand forecast by economists. Bitcoin rose 4% and was near $62 thousand that day, advancing further to close to $64 thousand at the end of the following weekend as traders bet that the result would prevent interest-rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.

Binance will delist Across Protocol (ACX), Hashflow (HFT), PIVX, Vulcan Forged PYR (PYR), Vanar (VANRY) and Viction (VIC) on August 17.
The exchange said that its latest periodic review concluded that these tokens no longer meet the listing criteria required. Prices plunged a few hours after the announcement made on Monday, although they recovered some of the losses afterward.
PIVX and PYR record the biggest drops after the announcement of Binance’s pullout

One analyst argues that XRP could help Japan escape the trap of yen carry trade without triggering a chaotic global liquidation, although the proposal faces significant practical obstacles.
The idea seeks liquidity efficiency, not indebtedness—this distinction makes a big difference.
The problem of pre-financing that XRP claims it can solve
The yen carry trade involves borrowing in cheap yen to finance more profitable assets abroad.
Years of ultra-low rates have pushed the currency to multi-decade lows, near 157 against the dollar.

The XRP Ledger aims to have banks cover the network costs for their users. If validators approve, it will be possible to use the ledger without needing to acquire XRP.
Jazzi Cooper, head of product at RippleX, stated that the xrpld 3.3.0 update should be released next week. The package includes five proposed changes. One of them is called Sponsored Fees and Reserves.
Why does using the XRP Ledger currently cost XRP?
Each account in the ledger locks up 1 XRP, an amount that cannot be spent or transferred. For each additional item kept by the account, such as a trustline, an additional 0.2 XRP is locked.

Apple shares (AAPL) opened sharply lower this Friday at US$ 304, down more than 9%. Weak guidance for the fiscal fourth quarter overshadowed a record June quarter, which beat revenue and profit estimates.
Shares closed on Thursday at US$ 333.43, down 1.41%, just a few days after Apple briefly reached a market value of US$ 5 trillion.
The cautious guidance made the last quarter stand out
Apple reported revenue of US$ 109.42 billion in the June quarter, above the consensus of US$ 108.65 billion. Earnings per share were US$ 2.02, well ahead of the US$ 1.89 estimate. Full results showed 16% year-over-year growth in revenue, a new record for the June quarter.

Tom Lee, from Fundstrat, says that the negotiation involving artificial intelligence (AI) is not over yet. He argues that the next step involves crypto payment systems developed for software agents, not for people.
Experienced macro investor Jordi Visser argued the opposite this week. Lee is also president of the largest corporate holder of ether, which gives his position a direct financial stake.
Why does Lee claim that chips were only the first step?

Roblox shares fell nearly 14% in after-hours trading this Thursday (30), nearing US$41.80. The gaming platform came in below Wall Street’s revenue projections and issued a weak outlook for the third quarter.
The drop erased the optimism sparked by a 36% increase in annual revenue. Investors refocused on the slower pace of user growth and a guidance for bookings far below consensus.

Elon Musk dismissed rumors that Tesla plans to sell the Gigafactory Shanghai, calling the claims fake news today (31).
Musk’s denial came after a Wall Street Journal report about a possible split of Tesla’s business in China. The publication also linked the move to a possible merger between Tesla and SpaceX.
What is Musk really denying?
The boat started after an X user directly suggested to Musk that Tesla would be preparing to get rid of the factory. Musk’s response, published this morning (31), classified the report as an absurd fake news and asked people to assume that breaking news is false until proven otherwise.

IBM CEO Arvind Krishna said that quantum computing will have, in a measurable way, an impact on the company’s revenue and profits by 2028 or 2029. He projected $1 trillion in value from the technology by the end of the 2030s.
The forecast indicates that quantum hardware is advancing commercially faster than many Bitcoin (BTC) investors expected. About one-third of the supply remains exposed to potential future quantum attacks.
