🚀 ELON MUSK’S TRILLIONAIRE ERA LASTED JUST TWO MONTHS

Elon Musk briefly became the world’s first trillionaire after SpaceX’s blockbuster IPO — but the celebration didn’t last long.

SpaceX shares have fallen 31% from their June peak of $201.80, wiping an estimated $146.5 billion from Musk’s fortune. He still owns roughly 42% of the company.

The decline comes despite SpaceX nearly doubling revenue year over year. The problem: massive spending. The company invested $18.37 billion in just three months, pouring money into AI infrastructure, Starship and satellites.

Starlink remains profitable, but AI and space-launch operations are still consuming billions. SpaceX is growing fast — investors are now asking whether its huge futuristic bets can grow fast enough to justify the valuation. 🚀📉

$ALICE 🌸 climbs 11.67% on 7.22M in volume. My Neighbor Alice remains an active blockchain gaming world with more than 160,000 listed players, while ALICE has a fixed supply of 100M and serves as its core ecosystem token. Gaming rotation could keep buyers engaged.

$ONG ⛽ — Ontology Gas gains 11.71% with 5.29M in activity. ONG has operated within Ontology’s dual-token economy for years, paying transaction fees, smart-contract execution and dApp costs. That real network utility gives the current move more substance than many short-lived momentum tokens.

$BICO 🌐 — advances 14.79% with 8.29M traded. Biconomy has evolved into a universal Web3 execution layer offering gas sponsorship and multi-chain transactions; its MEE technology can combine complex cross-chain actions under a single signature. The established infrastructure story strengthens today’s rebound.

$PORTAL 🎮 — dominates momentum with +54.09% and 23.13M in displayed volume. Portal is expanding its gaming ecosystem through Studio, Nexus and Gen8, with an active Game Jam running August 15–17. Strong liquidity plus fresh product activity make it today’s leading continuation candidate.

🇮🇷🇶🇦 Irã acusa Catar de manter três pilotos iranianos como prisioneiros

Um novo episódio aumenta a tensão entre Irã e Catar. Segundo o Wall Street Journal, Teerã afirma que três pilotos de sua Força Aérea estão presos no Catar, enquanto Doha nega a acusação. O paradeiro dos militares virou um mistério que remonta aos primeiros dias da guerra.

A controvérsia começou apenas três dias após o início do conflito, quando o Catar anunciou ter abatido dois caças-bombardeiros iranianos Sukhoi Su-24, alegando que as aeronaves ameaçavam seu espaço aéreo. (The Wall Street Journal)

Agora, a alegação iraniana de que os tripulantes sobreviveram e estariam sob custódia catariana adiciona uma nova dimensão diplomática ao episódio. Doha rejeita essa versão, deixando em aberto o que realmente aconteceu com os pilotos após a queda das aeronaves.

A disputa pode ampliar as tensões entre dois países do Golfo em um momento em que a região já enfrenta forte instabilidade militar e diplomática. ✈️🌍

🇺🇸🇰🇷 Trump réduit les exercices militaires avec la Corée du Sud

Donald Trump a ordonné une forte réduction des exercices militaires conjoints avec Séoul, estimant qu’ils sont trop coûteux et inutilement provocateurs envers Pyongyang. Il a également mis en avant sa « très bonne relation » avec Kim Jong Un.

Cette décision intervient alors que l’exercice Ulchi Freedom Shield devait mobiliser plus de 18 000 soldats sud-coréens aux côtés des forces américaines, notamment autour des menaces liées aux drones et aux cyberattaques.

Un changement majeur qui pourrait rebattre les cartes de la sécurité en Asie du Nord-Est. 🌏

⛽🇺🇸 Trump pide a los estadounidenses aceptar gasolina a US$4 por la guerra con Irán

Donald Trump defendió el fuerte aumento de los precios de los combustibles y pidió a los estadounidenses aceptar el impacto económico de la guerra con Irán. La gasolina ha subido alrededor de 29% interanual, mientras el conflicto y las tensiones en el estrecho de Ormuz continúan presionando el mercado energético. (Reuters)

El problema para la Casa Blanca es político: distintos sondeos muestran que una parte importante de los estadounidenses no considera que la guerra justifique su elevado costo, convirtiendo la gasolina de US$4 en un nuevo foco de presión de cara a las elecciones legislativas de noviembre. (ft.com)

💸 TikTok virou consultor financeiro — mas o risco pode ser maior do que parece

De dicas para escolher ações a promessas de ganhar US$ 100 mil por mês com renda extra, o TikTok se transformou em uma enorme vitrine de conselhos financeiros. O fenômeno também tem um lado positivo: a Fidelity atribui parcialmente aos influenciadores o aumento das contas Roth IRA entre jovens, com as contribuições da Geração Z crescendo 73% no segundo trimestre de 2026. (The Wall Street Journal)

⚠️ O problema é que confiança não significa conhecimento. Segundo a FINRA, investidores que recorrem às redes sociais tendem a avaliar melhor seus próprios conhecimentos, mas apresentam resultados piores em testes objetivos e maior vulnerabilidade a fraudes. No mundo dos “finfluencers”, saber separar educação financeira de marketing pode valer muito dinheiro.

📉 Los gestores profesionales vuelven a perder contra el mercado

Elegir acciones individuales sigue siendo una tarea difícil incluso para los expertos. Según datos de Morningstar citados por The Wall Street Journal, solo el 27% de los fondos estadounidenses de gran capitalización gestionados activamente superaron a sus alternativas pasivas durante los 12 meses terminados el 30 de junio.

A largo plazo, el resultado es aún más contundente: apenas 13% logró batir a sus índices de referencia durante la última década. Ni siquiera el auge de la inteligencia artificial, presentado como una gran oportunidad para seleccionar ganadores, ha cambiado significativamente la situación. (The Wall Street Journal)

Para muchos inversores, los números vuelven a reforzar el argumento a favor de los fondos indexados de bajo costo.

🇭🇰 Hong Kong Is Rewriting Its Economic Playbook

Hong Kong is preparing its first-ever five-year development plan, covering 2026–2030 — a major shift for a city long associated with low taxes, limited government intervention and free-market capitalism.

The plan will focus on finance, technology, the Northern Metropolis, social welfare, regional cooperation, tourism and deeper integration with mainland China. Supporters see long-term planning as a way to tackle housing shortages and inequality, while critics fear Hong Kong could move closer to Beijing’s economic model and weaken the distinct identity that made it a global financial hub.

The big question: Can Hong Kong integrate more deeply with China without losing what made Hong Kong unique? 🇭🇰🇨🇳
