U.S. Trade Representative Says Tariff Policy Will Remain Largely Unchanged
U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer stated on August 3 that President Trump’s recent round of tariffs on multiple countries is “largely set” and will not be adjusted in the current negotiations, including a 35% tariff on goods imported from Canada, a 50% tariff on Brazil, a 25% tariff on India, and a 39% tariff on Switzerland. Lighthizer noted that some tariffs are based on bilateral trade surpluses and deficits, and “these rates are basically fixed.”
According to Arkham, the LuBian mining pool, once ranked among the top ten globally, suffered a major security incident in December 2020, resulting in the theft of 127,426 BTC, valued at approximately $3.5 billion at the time, which has now reached $14.5 billion at current prices, making it the largest Bitcoin theft in history.
LuBian controlled nearly 6% of the Bitcoin network's total hash rate in May 2020, giving it significant industry influence. The attack occurred on December 28, 2020, with the attacker suspected of exploiting a vulnerability in its private key generation algorithm, successfully stealing over 90% of the holdings through brute force methods. The next day (December 29), the hacker transferred part of the BTC again, amounting to $6 million.
Additionally, LuBian attempted to plead with the hacker through on-chain OP_RETURN messages, requesting the return of the stolen assets. The official sent a total of 1,516 transactions with messages, consuming 1.4 BTC, further confirming that the incident was not a hoax.
Currently, LuBian still retains 11,886 BTC (approximately $1.35 billion), while the hacker's last on-chain activity was an address consolidation in July 2024. As of the disclosure date, the hacker still controls the stolen BTC, identity unknown, and their holdings rank as the 13th largest BTC holder globally, even surpassing the Mt. Gox hacker address.
Industry News
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority may reduce the number of licenses for the first batch of stablecoin issuers to three or four. After discussions with the People's Bank of China, the Monetary Authority recognized that under the regulatory memorandum framework, the main regulatory responsibilities and risks will be concentrated on itself.
Currently, several Chinese banks' branches in Hong Kong and Chinese brokerage firms are actively preparing to participate in compliant stablecoin businesses, including Bank of China Hong Kong, Bank of Communications Hong Kong, China Construction Bank (Asia), Xinyin International, and Guotai Junan International, planning to involve stablecoin issuance, custody, and other aspects.
Additionally, industry insiders pointed out that China currently does not have a globally influential public chain. There are also voices suggesting that national-level backbone public chains should be led by state-owned enterprises, while industry-level public chains can be driven by market competition.
Sources close to applicants for Hong Kong stablecoin licenses told Caixin that as regulatory details are finalized, the enthusiasm for stablecoins in Hong Kong will wane, especially for non-financial institutions applying for scenarios primarily focused on cross-border payments, which may find it difficult to meet the regulatory requirement of “verifying the identity of every token holder” and may voluntarily withdraw from early participation. This also means that early favorites like JD.com and Ant Group may find it challenging to appear on the first batch of license lists. Additionally, CITIC Group, through its Hong Kong subsidiary Xinyin International, has united several institutions to apply for the first batch of stablecoin licenses. Industry insiders noted that Bank of China Hong Kong is one of the three major note-issuing banks in Hong Kong, and if it issues stablecoins, it has inherent advantages and can also reassure regulators from both regions.

Nasdaq-listed company Fundamental Global announced that after completing the final agreement for $200 million in private placement financing, it will be renamed FG Nexus to better support its launched Ethereum financial strategy, focusing on blockchain innovation and the tokenization market for real-world assets (RWA). Additionally, the company has established the FG CVR Trust in Delaware to monetize and distribute the proceeds from the liquidation of legacy assets and businesses.
Nasdaq-listed Trump Media Technology Group (DJT) released its Q2 2025 financial report, stating that as of June 30, its financial assets reached approximately $3.1 billion, an increase of about 800% year-on-year. The primary reason for the growth is the company raising nearly $2.4 billion for its Bitcoin funding strategy and accumulating about $2 billion in Bitcoin and related assets in July, making it one of the largest publicly traded companies by Bitcoin holdings.
The report also showed that DJT achieved positive operating cash flow for the first time this quarter, reaching $2.3 million, but reported a net loss of $20 million.
Additionally, the company's platform Truth+ plans to launch a reward mechanism and embed a utility token in its digital wallet, which can initially be used to pay subscription fees and will expand to other services within the Truth ecosystem in the future.
DJT has also submitted multiple ETF registration statements, including Truth Social Crypto Blue Chip ETF, Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF, and Truth Social Bitcoin ETF.
Project News
Tomas Lee, Chairman of the ETH Treasury Company BMNR, stated that Ethereum has outperformed the overall cryptocurrency industry since early April, and as stablecoins create a “chatGPT moment,” Wall Street is flocking to ETH. In the short term, the ETH/BTC exchange rate should at least recover to the level of a year ago. The undstrat Capital digital asset team expects that the fair price of ETH may be around $10,000 to $20,000 within the next 12 months. In the long run, as Wall Street tokenizes real-world assets, it will also begin to explore staking ETH.
(Note: Fair price refers to the price at which market participants can sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction occurring at the measurement date.)
The communication platform Towns Protocol has announced its token economics as follows: the total supply of TOWNS tokens is 10 billion, with over 10% of the tokens to be airdropped to early users, partners, and collaborators on August 5.
Previously, it was reported that Binance Alpha will list Towns (TOWNS) on August 5.

Co-founder Ade Adepoju previously worked as an engineer at Mysten Labs (involved in Sui blockchain development). Rialo aims to provide a native solution for non-crypto developers to integrate external data (such as FICO credit scores) on-chain without relying on oracles. The team currently has 20 members, and the financing includes equity and token subscription rights, with specific valuation undisclosed.
Regulatory Trends
The UK financial regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), previously announced it would allow retail investors to participate in crypto ETN trading, but clarified that the ban on retail clients participating in crypto asset derivatives trading will remain in effect. The FCA will continue to monitor market developments and consider how to handle high-risk investments.
Hong Kong Legislative Council member Paul Chan stated in an interview that the core feature of fiat-backed stablecoins is that they must be 100% backed by highly liquid currency-like assets. Currently, the main function of fiat-backed stablecoins is still international payments, with no speculative opportunities.
During the formulation of the "Stablecoin Regulation," references were made to the US, Japan, and the EU's MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation), as well as Singapore's Payment Services Act (PSA). The legislation considers international circulation and demand, adhering to international and national standards. Additionally, Chan stated that Hong Kong's stablecoins should not compete for the existing market but should explore new markets.
