#AccountAbstraction

Seed phrases are dead. Smart wallets are here.

"*Account abstraction*" — in 2026 wallets stopped being dumb. Now they’re programmable accounts. This is the biggest UX upgrade in Web3.

No more 12-word backups. No more "insufficient gas" errors.

"*Gasless, Recovery*" — what smart wallets unlock:
1. *Gasless txns*: Apps sponsor fees. You just click "Sign"
2. *Social recovery*: Lose your phone? Friends/guardians help you recover. No seed phrase
3. *Session keys*: Approve once, play games or trade for 24h without popups
4. *Rules*: Set spending limits, 2FA, or multi-sig for your own wallet

"*UX of Web3*" — why this matters:
- *Onboarding*: Email + passkey = wallet in 5 seconds
- *Safety*: Built-in fraud protection and spending limits
- *Flexibility*: Pay gas in USDC, not ETH. Batch 10 actions in 1 txn
- *Adoption*: This is what makes Web3 feel like Web2, but better

The shift: From "you manage keys" to "the wallet manages for you."

By 2026, 70%+ of new users start with a smart wallet, not MetaMask.

🇯🇵 Japan Still Has Firepower to Defend the Yen
Goldman Sachs says Japan has significant capacity for further yen intervention, backed by roughly $1 trillion in foreign-exchange reserves.
However, not all reserves are immediately deployable, and access to dollar liquidity throuh the Fed is not the same as receiving $1 trillion in cash.
How aggressively will Japan use its reserves if yen weakness continues?

Bitcoin is at an interesting point right now. Instead of blindly chasing the next move, I’m watching three things closely: price structure, volume, and key support/resistance levels.
My bullish scenario: BTC holds its key support, buyers step in with stronger volume, and price breaks the nearby resistance with confirmation. That could signal the next leg higher.
My bearish scenario: BTC loses support with increasing selling volume. In that case, I’d rather wait for a new setup than enter emotionally.
For me, the best trade isn’t about predicting every candle—it’s about waiting for confirmation and managing risk.
What’s your BTC setup right now? 👀

Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded a $129 million net inflow yesterday. BlackRock's IBIT led with a $128 million net inflow, while VanEck's HODL recorded a $32.7708 million net outflow.

🚨 SHAZUSDT SHORT SETUP — Resistance Rejection 📉
I’ve been watching SHAZ closely, and the current structure is giving me a bearish setup.
Price recently made a strong recovery from the lows, but now it has pushed back into the 68.6–73.5 resistance/supply zone. This is the area where I’m looking for sellers to defend and price to start moving lower again.
📍 Short Entry: 66.29–68.5 area
📉 Leverage: 10X–20X
🎯 TP: 40.06
🛑 SL: 78.05
💰 Capital: Use only 5% of your capital
⚠️ Risk management is a must.
The bigger picture still gives me a bearish bias while price remains below that major resistance zone. If sellers take control, the previous lower levels could come back into play, with 40.06 as the main target I’m watching.
I’m not saying price must dump immediately — the key is how SHAZ reacts around resistance. If we get a clean rejection and bearish confirmation, the short setup becomes much more interesting.
Trade smart, don’t over-leverage, and never risk money you can’t afford to lose. 👀
Do you think SHAZ will reject this resistance and head toward 40, or are we about to see a breakout?

Before you sell, enter the market and see what it looks like—everything is collapsing. I swear, there is no stable currency in existence except Egypt’s currency. Everyone who sold will have a day when they regret it. Before you sell, see which currency you are going to buy. If you are following the market, I swear you will not sell. All the currencies—your day—and the contracts have collapsed, and the tokens—your day. I swear, there is still no stable currency in existence except Egypt’s currency.

🚨 BREAKING: $400 BILLION FLOWS INTO US STOCKS AFTER CPI
The July US CPI just came in at 3.4% YoY, exactly in line with expectations.
Core CPI also matched forecasts at 2.5% YoY, while monthly headline CPI rose just 0.1%.
And the market liked what it saw.
Roughly $400 billion has been added to US equities as investors react to the inflation print.
The important part here isn't just “3.4%.”
It’s that there was no nasty inflation surprise.
For markets, an in-line CPI gives the Fed a little more room to stay patient instead of suddenly leaning more hawkish. Treasury yields moved lower and stocks pushed higher, with the Nasdaq leading the move.
I'm watching this reaction closely because CPI days can be deceptive. The first move is often emotional, and the real signal comes from whether stocks can actually hold the gains after the initial volatility settles.
For now:
• 🇺🇸 CPI: 3.4% YoY
• 📊 Expected: 3.4%
• Core CPI: 2.5% YoY
• Monthly CPI: +0.1%
• 💰 US equities: roughly +$400B in market value added
So far, this is basically the kind of inflation report stocks wanted to see.
Now the question is whether buyers keep showing up after the CPI headline fades.
Markets are moving fast today. Keep an eye on yields + Nasdaq.

Silver Continues to Rise: $65.70 Level Tested
Silver (XAGUSD) rose 1.61% in the last trading session, reaching $65.70. The price, which reached $66.79 during the day, moved between $63.99 and $66.79. This rise indicates that the strong performance of gold is also reflected in silver, showing continued industrial demand.
Technical Outlook
Silver is trading well above its short-term moving averages (MA5: 64.22, MA10: 61.73, MA30: 59.66). This indicates strong upward momentum.
MACD and Momentum:
• MACD: 1.136 (in positive territory)
• DIF: 0.913
• DEA: -0.222
The MACD line being above the signal line and in the positive territory indicates that the upward momentum continues. The widening gap between DIF and DEA indicates a strengthening trend.
Critical Levels:
• Resistance: 66.79 (intraday high), 74.52, 85.29
• Support: 63.99 (intraday low), 61.73 (MA10), 59.66 (MA30)
Factors Behind the Rise
1. Strong Gold Performance
Gold holding above the $4,400 level is increasing interest in precious metals like silver. Strong ETF demand from Asia is supporting both gold and silver.
2. Industrial Demand
Silver is used as both a precious metal and an industrial metal. Growth in the solar energy, electric vehicles, and electronics sectors are among the long-term factors supporting silver demand.
3. Dollar Weakness
The recent weak performance of the dollar index is supporting the upward trend in the prices of dollar-denominated commodities. The decrease in expectations for a Fed interest rate hike is easing pressure on the dollar.
4. Geopolitical Risks
Tensions in the Middle East are boosting demand for safe-haven assets, supporting both gold and silver.
Differences Between Silver and Gold
Silver is more volatile than gold. Reasons for this include:
• Lower Liquidity: The silver market is narrower than gold, so price movements can be more volatile.
• Industrial Use: The price of silver is more affected by industrial demand. Concerns about economic growth can put more pressure on silver compared to gold.
• Investor Profile: Silver is more popular among retail investors, which can increase volatility.
Summary and Expectations
Silver is showing a strong performance, rising to the $65.70 level. Technical indicators suggest that the upward momentum continues. In the coming period:
• Gold Monitoring: The direction of silver will largely depend on the trajectory of gold. As long as gold remains above $4,400, silver is expected to find support.
• Industrial Data: Growth and industrial production data will be closely watched in terms of silver demand.
• Volatility: The 66.79 resistance and 63.99 support levels are among those to watch for short-term trades.

2026.8.12 Daily Crypto Market News Analysis
Tonight, I do not want to simply classify the U.S. inflation data as “bullish.” July CPI rose just 0.1% month-over-month, while core CPI growth slowed from the previous reading of 2.6% year-over-year to 2.5%. This does ease concerns that interest rates will continue suppressing the valuations of risk assets; however, overall CPI remains at 3.4% year-over-year, and energy prices rose 14.7% year-over-year. This looks more like the removal of some of the worst-case expectations, rather than an immediate injection of new purchasing power into the crypto market.
The market’s own reaction supports this distinction. During the most recent full trading day, U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw combined net inflows of only about $6.1 million, essentially remaining balanced. On-chain available capital has not deteriorated significantly either: total-chain TVL grew about 0.96% over seven days, while the dollar stablecoin supply grew about 0.15%; at the same time, DEX seven-day trading volume fell 18.42% from the previous week, and trading volume over the past 24 hours also declined 9.84%. This shows that liquidity pools remain in place, but trading appetite has not caught up. As of 23:53, Bitcoin was essentially flat over 24 hours, while Ethereum rose about 1.9%. What I see is cautious observation after a moderation in macro pressure, not a new expansion of risk appetite.
That is also why I am not yet interpreting the phased rollout of licensed Hong Kong dollar stablecoins to institutions as a liquidity turning point for the entire market. Compliant issuance and real-world settlement scenarios will expand the long-term boundaries of stablecoins, but controlled distribution must go through institutional access, minting and redemption, and actual payment demand before it becomes observable on-chain growth. For now, the slight increase in dollar stablecoins and continued decline in DEX turnover indicate that there is still a gap between “new channels” and “new demand.”
Today’s unauthorized Harmony minting incident also reminds me that a low-activity environment does not mean low risk. Public information points to the abnormal minting of approximately 4 billion ONE. The project team is coordinating the freezing of funds, preparing a patch, and evaluating a rollback, but the root cause, the actual amount frozen, and the final disposition have not yet been fully disclosed. This is a clear single-network supply and governance risk, but there is still no evidence that it has escalated into a security shock for major assets or the broader market. Extrapolating a localized incident without limit, like immediately treating mild CPI data as a bull-market catalyst, would overestimate the transmission capacity of a single piece of news.
Going forward, I will first watch whether three facts begin to confirm one another: whether ETF end-of-day flows can turn positive consistently, whether stablecoin growth can drive a recovery in DEX trading volume, and whether Bitcoin can attract active buying even without new macro stimulus. If only interest-rate expectations improve while capital turnover continues to decline, I will maintain my view that “valuation pressure has eased, but demand has not yet returned”; only if off-chain capital, on-chain usage, and price reaction improve in sync will I upgrade tonight’s macro moderation to a genuine market turning point.

AI infrastructure earnings are finally center stage
Here’s what’s happening right now:
1. Real time numbers. CoreWeave just printed Q2 revenue of $2.58 billion, up 112% year over year, with an order backlog of $104 billion. Stock was up 15% after hours. Industrial Fulian saw AI server revenue jump 2.3x YoY. $BTC is sitting at $64,155. And AI compute tokens are heating up too, with 24 hour turnover across the sector averaging up 32%.
2. The bigger picture. Global demand for AI compute is exploding. Miners and cloud providers are both racing to build out infrastructure at the same time. That means massive capex, and all that spending is pulling liquidity out of the market. The problem with compute right now is the good news comes early. By the time the earnings hit, it’s usually already priced in, which makes the sector prone to sell the news.
3. My take. I’m not chasing these short term AI theme spikes. Let the reports get digested first, then pick the actual quality names. Stay cautious with size, only go heavy where the setup is clean. I’m still long term bullish on this cycle coming back, but we need patience before we get aggressive.
Watching $BEAT and $BICO closely as the dust settles.
This is just my personal view and not investment advice

PANews, August 12 — Ember stated that an address opened a short position worth approximately $22.86 million one day before ChangXin CXMT’s listing and has held it for nearly half a month without closing. During this period, due to the price remaining resilient, its futures position incurred approximately $3.4 million in funding fees, in addition to around $4 million in unrealized losses, bringing the total loss to approximately $7.4 million. Based on its average short entry price of approximately $6.5 (around ¥43.5), even if the price subsequently falls back to the entry level, the continuously accumulated funding fees will still result in a substantial realized loss.

Who is the Chinese buyer who invested $100 million in Trump's cryptocurrency venture?
Last month, at the World Cup final held in New Jersey, Zach Witkoff, co-founder of President Trump's cryptocurrency company, watched the match from a luxury box. Also watching was a man who had brought immense wealth to the president and all of the company's co-founders.
Two years ago, this man, named Zhou Guren (phonetic; English name Bobby), was a failed hardwood-flooring retailer in the UK who was being investigated there for suspected money laundering; he had run a small cryptocurrency startup that eventually went bankrupt.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, he transformed into one of the largest buyers of Trump's World Liberty Financial tokens, investing a cumulative $100 million through a new company called Aqua 1. For months, he kept a low profile, speaking only briefly as “Mr. Bobby” of Aqua 1 during an X Spaces livestream that drew almost no attention.
“We are very proud to be an important participant in World Liberty, which is the Trump family's crypto enterprise,” he said.
Under World Liberty Financial's arrangements, as much as $75 million of the funds was allocated to a company controlled by the president and his three sons. The money also benefited the family of Steve Witkoff, a special envoy for peace in the Trump administration and Zach Witkoff's father.
In any previous era, a foreigner with no public evidence of possessing such substantial financial resources handing such a huge sum to a U.S. president would inevitably have been considered a violation of political norms and could even have triggered a congressional investigation.
Yet the enigmatic case of Zhou Guren highlights just how easy it is for buyers of unknown origin and unclear motives to use cryptocurrency's anonymity to funnel large sums of money to Trump. The president's recently released financial disclosure report shows that he earned $1.4 billion from his cryptocurrency businesses last year, most of it from anonymous sources.
It is unclear how deeply World Liberty Financial investigated Zhou Guren's background, but the UK's money-laundering investigation is publicly available information, and parts of Zhou Guren's troubled business history can also be found in public records. $SOL

8.12 Midday Market Outlook: BTC/ETH 1-Hour Timeframe
The 1-hour Bollinger Bands remain in a downward-opening structure with no reversal. After ETH fell from the previous high of 1939.63 on heavy volume to a low of 1852.15, it staged a slight rebound on reduced volume. The short-term moving averages remain bearishly aligned, continuing to suppress the market. Insufficient rebound volume prevented a test of the middle Bollinger Band resistance. BTC, moving in tandem with ETH, also fell from a high of 65488 to a low of 63209. Buying support remains weak during the low-level recovery phase, with no independent strength emerging. The short-term bearish structure remains intact. The middle Bollinger Band remains the bearish defense resistance, while the lower Bollinger Band is the key support for this move.
BTC 1-hour Bollinger parameters: middle band 63994.6｜upper band 65480｜lower band 62785.9. Resistance zone: 64348-64600, facing dual pressure from the middle Bollinger Band and the previous consolidation platform. Support zone: 63480, short-term pullback support; strong support at 63209
ETH 1-hour Bollinger parameters: middle band 1875.32｜upper band 1945｜lower band 1833.60. Resistance zone: 1900-1922, pressured by the short-term moving averages and previous consolidation highs. Support zone: 1869, short-term rebound support; strong support at 1852
Core approach: The 1-hour bearish trend continues. Prioritize testing short positions when rebounds face resistance, and cautiously pursue short-term long positions with light exposure after key support stabilizes. Do not chase longs at high levels or shorts at low levels. Strictly set stop-losses and control position size.
BTC long: enter long at 63450-63520 after a stable pullback, stop-loss 63150, first take-profit 64000, second take-profit 64300
Short: test shorts at 64100-64220 when the rebound faces resistance, stop-loss 64600, first take-profit 63800, second take-profit 63300
ETH long: enter long at 1865-1872 after a stable pullback, stop-loss 1848, first take-profit 1895, second take-profit 1918
Short: test shorts at 1898-1905 when the rebound faces resistance, stop-loss 1923, first take-profit 1870, second take-profit 1855
At the macro level, the US Dollar Index remains in a volatile but relatively strong pattern, while risk aversion continues across external equity markets. Crypto assets lack supportive liquidity catalysts, and selling pressure in the market has not clearly dissipated. On-chain data shows that large-holding addresses of major coins continue reducing their spot holdings, while short positions in futures have increased slightly. Major players show a strong willingness to make short-term momentum-driven adjustments. There is currently no strong bullish catalyst for a reversal on the 1-hour timeframe, and the market is mainly consolidating within a weak range.
‼️The above content is for 1-hour technical market discussion and reference only and does not constitute any investment advice. Cryptocurrency futures trading is extremely volatile and highly risky. Please strictly control your position size and trade cautiously at your own discretion.

On August 12, 2026, ETH futures continued to show weakness. After a sharp correction from the $1,937 high, the price fluctuated at low levels within the $1,850-$1,880 range, indicating a typical state of “bearish dominance but nearing a market shift.”
📊 Key Battle Levels Between Bulls and Bears
· Current price: approximately $1,870-$1,885, down about 2.5% intraday and weaker than BTC.
· Strong resistance above: The first resistance is at $1,880-$1,890, with the core resistance zone at $1,890-$1,920, where moving averages are exerting downward pressure and trapped positions are concentrated.
· Key support below: The first line of defense is at $1,850-$1,855. A break below it would put $1,820 to the test, while the medium-term lifeline is the weekly-level defense at $1,800.
📈 Futures Market Signals (Contradictions Intensify)
· Neutral funding rates: Rates on major platforms are close to 0% or even slightly negative. High-leverage pressure from longs has been released, leaving the market temporarily in a weak equilibrium.
· Options open interest hits an all-time high: ETH options open interest has reached $8.11 billion, three times the level from three months ago, while futures OI has also exceeded $9.15 billion. If CPI data triggers a market move, volatility will be exceptionally intense.
⚠️ CPI Is the Biggest Variable
The U.S. July CPI data at 20:30 tonight is the decisive catalyst. The market expects CPI to rise 3.4% year over year. If the data comes in below expectations, ETH may attempt to reclaim $1,900; if it exceeds expectations, downside room will open up after a break below $1,850. The combination of high leverage, record-high open interest, and low liquidity could lead to violent wick moves immediately after the data is released.
💎 Summary
ETH is currently in a state of “weak accumulation with bears in control.” Before the CPI data is released, it is advisable to stay out of the market and wait for directional confirmation before following the trend, avoiding the violent volatility at the moment of the data release. If trading, keep positions extremely light and set strict stop-losses. #Gate多项交易指标全球Top4 $ETH ‌

🧵 Once a Public Blockchain Worth Tens of Billions, Now Worth Less Than a Luxury Home—the Brutal Truth Behind Harmony’s Implosion
On August 12, news about Harmony (ONE) flooded social media—the attacker exploited an empty-block vulnerability and minted approximately 4 billion ONE without authorization, accounting for 26% of the current supply.
Approximately 2.8 billion ONE were then quickly transferred to exchanges and dumped, sending ONE’s price down by half at one point during the day.
At first glance, $4 billion in market capitalization evaporated and a top public blockchain suffered a devastating blow—but the data reveals that the absurdity of this incident far exceeds imagination.
📊 Let’s Start with the Data, Then the Sentiment
Before the incident, Harmony’s total market capitalization had fallen to only about $17 million; after the attack, it dropped to $12.8 million, ranking 1,004th in the crypto market.
The actual market cap loss was only $5 million.
In the 2026 crypto market, $5 million is not even enough for a decent VC funding round. Yet this $5 million once again put a former top-50 “star public blockchain” at the center of attention.
For comparison, when ONE reached its all-time high of $0.379 in October 2021, Harmony’s peak market capitalization was approximately $4 billion.
Today, based on a market capitalization of approximately $13.7 million, it has shrunk by about 99.7% from its peak, leaving just 0.34% of its former high.
Based on a nearly five-year compound estimate, its market capitalization has evaporated by approximately 70% per year on average. For secondary-market investors, the experience is closer to enduring multiple sell-offs of around 90% each—every time you think the bottom is in, the market can always dig another basement level.
🔍 This Is Not Harmony’s First Incident
In June 2022, Harmony’s Horizon cross-chain bridge was hacked for approximately $100 million, and the FBI later attributed the attack to the North Korean hacking group Lazarus Group.
That attack became a watershed moment for trust in the Harmony ecosystem—TVL, users, and liquidity began a prolonged decline.
Today’s data is even more alarming:
Total DeFi value locked: approximately $171k
On-chain fees over 24 hours: $0.13
DEX trading volume over 24 hours: $694
Active addresses over 24 hours: 244
A public blockchain with less than $1 in on-chain fees and only 244 active addresses over 24 hours—this can no longer be called a public blockchain; “ghost chain” would be more appropriate.
🎯 Personal View: Don’t Treat a “Rollback” as a Lifeline
Harmony officially stated that it is evaluating the rollback option, while releasing a patch requiring all validators to upgrade urgently and suspending cross-chain bridge services.
But there are several fatal problems here:
First, approximately 2.8 billion ONE have already been transferred to exchanges. Can a rollback cover tokens already sitting on CEXs? Will exchanges be willing to cooperate? These are all major practical obstacles.
Second, this is not Harmony’s first instance of “unintended token minting.” In December 2023, a staking logic flaw at Harmony caused 146 million ONE to be minted to 74 delegator addresses, ultimately resolved through an emergency hard fork. The same issue has occurred repeatedly, indicating systemic vulnerabilities in the underlying architecture’s risk controls.
Third, and most brutally—even if the rollback succeeds, will ONE become valuable? What supports the value of its token beyond speculation when it belongs to a public blockchain with only $171k in DeFi TVL and 244 daily active addresses?
📉 Macro Backdrop: Market Sentiment Was Already Fragile
Bitcoin is currently fluctuating around $63,700 and has been trapped in the $62,000-$66,000 range for five consecutive weeks. Cryptocurrency trading volume has fallen to a three-year low, with both bulls and bears waiting for Wednesday’s U.S. CPI data to provide direction.
The Fear and Greed Index fell to 26 today, in the “Fear” zone.
In a window of depleted liquidity and extremely fragile sentiment, any negative event will be magnified.
ONE fell to an all-time low of $0.0005735 at one point today—but honestly, this price makes little difference to long-term holders anymore; it is merely another milestone on the road to “zero.”
With a market capitalization of $13.7 million, it is worth less than a courtyard house in Beijing.
This market never lacks “former stars”; what it lacks is basic reverence for risk.

Why is AVAAI rising: A low-market-cap AI-related project driven by the AI narrative and community hype. A typical high-beta surge pattern.
$AVAAI

With the current lower-timeframe price action, a clearly defined range has emerged. Last night’s minor rebound confirmed 1900 as a current resistance level, while the area around 1850 below is the key support at this stage. It is fairly clear that the short-term range will fluctuate between 1850 and 1900, forming a visible box structure.
Looking at the one-hour Bollinger Bands, the price is moving back and forth within the channel. Rebounds face resistance near the upper band, while pullbacks find support near the lower band. It will be difficult for a one-sided breakout to occur directly in the short term, making this a standard range-bound trading environment.
The approach in this setup is clear: trade the boundaries and wait in the middle.
Near the 1890-1900 resistance zone, consider short-term shorts; after a pullback stabilizes in the 1850-1860 support zone, consider buying on dips. Try to reduce frequent entries in the middle of the range. Range-bound markets often produce frequent wicks, making mid-range trades highly unforgiving and prone to repeated stop-outs that erode your principal.
With a data-release window approaching, an unexpected breakout could occur at any time, so be sure to manage your position size and avoid taking oversized positions. The box is only a short-term structure. Once support or resistance on either side is decisively broken, promptly adjust your original approach. Do not become fixed in bullish or bearish biases—let the market determine how the strategy should follow.
Trading is not about capturing every minor fluctuation. Prioritizing boundary opportunities with better risk-reward ratios and maintaining position discipline is the core of trading a range-bound market.$ETH ‌#GateLaunchpool瓜分141万枚DOS

You must uphold the principle: “Of the three thousand streams, take only one ladle.”
In the intricate world of trading, there is no perfect trading system capable of accurately capturing every market opportunity. Driven by an endless desire for profit, many people try to seize every profit in the market, fearing that the slightest negligence will cause them to miss any market move. As a result, they are like tireless craftsmen, constantly fine-tuning their trading systems.
However, top traders possess deeper insight. They understand the profound truth behind “Of the three thousand streams, take only one ladle.” In fact, once you have a trading system with a positive expected return, the most important thing to do next is to execute it unwaveringly. Therefore, you should focus all your energy on consistent execution and remain unmoved by external temptations and distractions.
