Paris startup Kulipa abruptly shut down due to repayment issues, causing service outages for around 20 crypto wallets it supported and for fintech card projects.

Kulipa completed a $6.2 million seed round in April this year, led by Flourish Ventures and 1kx, with only about 4 months left before shutting down.

CZ agreed on X with Spigg’s view on Giggle Academy selling donation tokens, saying that Giggle Academy is a non-crypto team focused on free education apps, making it difficult to manage the token economy. Therefore, it regularly sells most tokens to cover expenses. Donors should not affect the market’s token supply; the counterparty needs to manage the token economy themselves. Previously, BNB had been provided to Giggle Academy for operations, and all relevant parties had no objections. CZ said he welcomes regular donations but does not commit to specific actions; the core is supporting the global mission of free education for children.

The US Federal Reserve kept the target interest rate unchanged at 3.50%-3.75% in the July FOMC meeting, with a 9-3 vote in favor; three commissioners advocated a 25bp rate hike, and the market interpreted it as a hawkish wait-and-see stance. The probability of a rate hike in September fell to about 65%, and risk assets rebounded in the near term. Energy prices and the conflict in the Middle East remain the key uncertainties; if they persist, they will feed through to inflation and increase pressure on interest rates. Institutional capital inflows accelerated: in July, OTC trading volume hit a new high, and activity increased before and after the FOMC. The launch of Robinhood Chain boosted on-chain trading; TVL is about $325 million, and daily average DEX volume is about $553 million.
