Trempley's hard-to-encrypted currency triggered a chain reaction, with a massive influx of radical encryption companies into the stock market

ChainCatcher, according to The New York Times, as President Trump openly embraces encrypted currency, his policies and personal statements are profoundly changing the structure of the capital market in the United States, with the rapid emergence of a large number of new listed companies with encrypted assets at their core, while also magnifying market risks。

TRUMP, CLAIMING TO BE THE “FIRST ENCRYPTED PRESIDENT”, ENDED HIS PREVIOUS STRONG REGULATION OF THE ENCRYPTION INDUSTRY, PROMOTED PRO-ENCRYPTIC LEGISLATION AND, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, PUBLICLY ENDORSED INVESTMENTS FOR ENCRYPTION, AND EVEN PERSONALLY LAUNCHED A MEMENTO CALLED TRUMP. THIS SERIES OF MOVES BROUGHT THE PREVIOUSLY RELATIVELY MARGINAL ENCRYPTION INDUSTRY QUICKLY INTO THE MAINSTREAM FINANCIAL SYSTEM。

Against this background, more than 250 listed companies have begun to incorporate encrypted currencies into their balance sheets this year, attracting investors ' attention through massive accumulations of digital assets such as bitcoin. Some companies even lack mature ownership, and their core “business model” is to hold encrypted assets and bet their price increases。

The analysis noted that, unlike previously the encrypted cattle market, which was largely limited to exchanges and bulk houses, encryption risks were spreading through the stock market to a wider range of investors, driven by the Trump policy. Tightly regulated exits, strengthened political endorsements and structural “encrypting” of listed companies are putting investors at greater risk of volatility and valuation。

Vitalik, in response to the suspension of the AI Center construction, should focus on the "suspension key" and the loss of computing power

ChainCatcher writes that Vitalik Buterin, a co-founder of Taifeng, responded on platform X to a proposal by US Senator Bernie Sanders to suspend the construction of a large AI data centre。

Vitalik argued that the way to be really effective should be to prepare for the “90-99% calculus reduction” capacity at a critical point in the future, rather than just an immediate slowdown; he also supported the distinction between “super-large clusters” and consumer-level AI hardware and promoted decentrization。

ETHGAs completed $12 million seed ship financing, Polychain Capital

ChainCatcher, according to The Block, ETHGas announced the completion of $12 million in currency exchange financing, which was sponsored by Polychain Capital, Stake Capital, BlueYard Capital, Lafayette Macro Advisors, SIG DT and Amber Group. The project had also previously completed an undisclosed round of pre-seed financing of approximately $5 million in mid-2024。

The current round of financing, which was launched in July and completed last month, is all in the form of a token wheel, using the SAFT structure, which is consistent with the pre-seed round. In addition to financing, ETHGAs announced that it had committed some $800 million to support its market and product development with the accreditation of the Taifaf, block builders and relays. Lepsoe stressed that these were not cash investments, but rather liquidity in the form of Taifung space, which participants supplied to the ETHgas market in exchange for higher and more predictable returns。

ETHGAs has built a futures market for space in the ETA block, which allows the block space to be bought and sold in advance, rather than at instant prices only when the block is generated. Block space is the capacity within the Taicha block, determining whether the transaction is included, sequenced and costed. ETHGAs is located upstream of the existing block production process (i.e., the proponent-builder separation) of the ETHGAs, which does not replace the current system but connects it。
