HBAR just got one of the clearest institutional-access upgrades in its ecosystem.
Taurus has completed integration of the full Hedera technology stack, meaning financial institutions using Taurus can access HBAR custody, staking, token issuance and Hedera smart contracts through the same institutional platform.
Why does that matter?
Taurus says its infrastructure is used by 40+ banks and regulated financial institutions. The integration was built in three phases over roughly 18 months, with smart-contract support completing the stack.
For #HBAR, this removes something institutional adoption de

#China10YearYieldFallsBelow1.7%
CHINA’S BOND MARKET IS FLASHING A BIG MACRO SIGNAL
China’s 10-year government bond yield has slipped below the 1.7% level, reaching 1.70% on August 13, 2026, after falling another basis point from the previous session. It is now hovering around its lowest levels in more than a year.
This is more than a move in one bond.
The decline is increasingly reflecting investor expectations for weaker inflation, softer domestic demand and continued monetary support from Beijing.
THE LONG-TERM TREND IS STILL DOWN
China’s 10-year yield has already traveled a remarkable dist

Eight intraday wins on gold

Bit Digital reports Q2: ~164,310 ETH in treasury, $32.1M revenue (+15% QoQ); net loss narrowed to $107.2M. $ETH balance supports downside risk protection but profitability remains elusive.

$XAU Gold's daily chart is still rising too aggressively. Although it consolidated around 4000 for a month, the daily chart has recently run out of steam, so a pullback is highly likely. The four-hour chart is also about to form a downward trend, and it seems the price has not firmly held this level. Looking at the one-hour chart, it rose all afternoon, but at the open, a single candle came straight down. This shows that the price is still relatively high here and needs a pullback. The recent rally has been very strong. Those with short positions trapped below should wait and see what happens

#7月CPI符合预期通胀继续降温 This CPI data came in as expected, and coupled with the unexpectedly weak nonfarm payrolls data released earlier, market expectations for a September Fed rate hike have cooled significantly. If the July PCE data due at the end of this month also shows a slowdown, that would further eliminate the possibility of a September rate hike.
The election is drawing closer, so a September rate hike would be inappropriate. Waller, the Fed chief, has chaired two meetings, leaving the impression that he was incoherent, vague in his wording, and rather inconsistent in his stance. At one mo

August 13 Evening Market Analysis and Trading Strategy:
After a sharp drop in gold prices this evening, the market saw a slight rebound and consolidation. The current price is 4394.93. The one-hour moving averages remain under downward pressure, and the overall trend is still bearish; the rebound is merely a technical correction. Short-term resistance above is at 4398-4400, while the key support below is 4364, which serves as the defense level for the intraday low.
On the news front, the Bank of Korea’s increased gold holdings only provide long-term bottom support and cannot reverse the short-
