Ripple announced a strategic partnership with Jeonbuk Bank, a regional bank based in South Korea. Under this collaboration, Jeonbuk Bank will become the first regional bank in the country to implement the Ripple Payments platform for cross-border payment services. This move aims to transform the transaction processes of traditional SWIFT transfers, which can take days, into a 24/7, uninterrupted system with processing times limited to seconds or minutes. With this infrastructure, the bank plans to offer faster and more transparent service to its corporate clients, particularly those requiring

From a game-theoretic perspective, the design of the AIP model essentially constructs an incentive-compatible mechanism: the rights consignment pool makes honest participation the dominant strategy, the creep engine transforms short-term speculation into long-term accumulation, and the cooling mechanism provides a predictable response path for the cold start. Together, the three could theoretically enable the system to operate continuously without external intervention. However, theoretical incentive compatibility must be verified through multiple rounds of gameplay to determine whether it hol

The yield on 30-year US Treasury bonds surged to 5.31% on Monday, testing its highest level since 2007, amid concerns about inflation and a growing budget deficit. The yield had already reached a 19-year high at the start of the week above 5.32%, leading to a global sell-off of bonds. This surge has increased long-term borrowing costs, pushing 30-year mortgage yields to around 6.75% and putting pressure on consumer lending.
The underlying dynamics behind this sharp market movement can be summarized in two main points. First, the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 3.4% year-on-year in July, wel

$BTC Bitcoin rose to $64,500 from the $62,700–$63,000 range with buying pressure. However, renewed selling pressure at this point indicates that the market has not yet gained full confidence in its upward movement.
According to the technical chart, $64,500 stands out as the first significant resistance point. Unless the $65,000–$65,200 band is breached, it is too early to say whether the rise is sustainable. This region has been a strong area for sellers in previous trading sessions.
On the downside, the $63,800–$63,400 range is a critical support zone. A break below this level could bring th

$STAR plunged 26.51% in 24 hours, with the current price at 0.1062, near the low. I reviewed the first three halving cycles: Altcoins generally experienced a sharp 40-60% washout on days 45-60 after Bitcoin halvings, followed by the main uptrend. STAR is following exactly this script now: the 46M trading volume was not caused by retail investors dumping; major players are accumulating on the negative news. 0.1050 is strong weekly-chart support, and it has been tested three times over the past three months without breaking. Trading plan: Build a 30% starter position in the 0.106-0.110 range, s

HISTORIC: US diesel crack hits record $102.20/barrel, surpassing the 2022 crisis peak of ~$90 (normal range: $20–$40). Diesel crack measures the price premium of diesel over crude oil. At this level, the premium equals roughly $2.43/gallon. When diesel gets expensive, everything gets expensive.

Nasdaq, the second-largest stock exchange in the U.S., has moved to extend stock trading to nearly 23 hours a week, five days a week. The exchange's proposal to the SEC calls for the addition of an entirely new overnight session to the existing sessions.
According to the details of the plan, the new trading session would operate between 9:00 PM and 4:00 AM Eastern Time (ET). This, combined with the exchange's existing extended sessions from 4:00 AM to 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, would create a nearly uninterrupted trading flow. The only break would be a one-hour mandatory pause scheduled f

#英伟达与OpenAI锁定12吉瓦算力 Jensen Huang: OpenAI has committed to approximately 12GW of NVIDIA computing capacity, and the AI race is entering the “power era”
When AI companies start discussing computing capacity in “gigawatts” rather than “how many GPUs,” the industry’s competitive logic has changed.
On August 17, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang disclosed that OpenAI’s existing and planned commitments for NVIDIA computing capacity total approximately 12GW; if NVIDIA further expands the PORTS-Pike project in Ohio, the opportunity could approach 16GW.
These figures are astonishing enough, but what is more wort
