According to Bloomberg, Italian app developer Bending Spoons SpA has agreed to acquire American software company Airtable for a total equity value of $2.25 billion, which will be completed as an all-cash transaction. After deducting Airtable's net cash of approximately $965 million, the enterprise value is about $1.29 billion. This price represents a significant reduction of about 80% from Airtable's valuation of $11.7 billion in 2021, serving as another example of the valuation correction in the software industry.Airtable was founded in 2013 and provides tools that allow non-technical employees to build customized applications. At the end of 2021, it raised $735 million at a valuation of $11.7 billion but failed to go public as planned "within a few years." Like many software companies, it has struggled to maintain stable growth amid the impact of generative AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude Code. As of June 2026, Airtable's annual recurring revenue is approximately $480 million. This is Bending Spoons' first acquisition since its Nasdaq listing on July 1, and after the transaction is completed, Airtable will gain resources to advance the construction of its AI-native platform, but its operational model is similar to private equity, which typically involves layoffs and restructuring of acquired companies.

According to technology analyst Ed Zitron, citing estimates from institutions such as Barclays, UBS, and Wells Fargo, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, the three major cloud providers, may see over 70% of their AI revenue coming from OpenAI and Anthropic. Specifically, Barclays analyst Ross Sandler estimates that about 73% of Amazon AWS's AI revenue in 2026 will come from these two companies; UBS analyst Stephen Ju estimates that approximately 28% of Google Cloud's revenue in 2026 and over 48% in 2027 will come from them; Wells Fargo estimates that about 23% of Microsoft Azure's revenue in FY2026 and about 35% in FY2027 will come from these two AI labs.The analysis indicates that AWS's AI revenue in 2026, excluding OpenAI/Anthropic, is expected to be only about 8.5 billion dollars, while Amazon's capital expenditure for that year is expected to reach 220 billion dollars. Google's Vertex AI platform revenue in 2026 is expected to be about 28.3 billion dollars, but during the same period, the computing power expenditure for OpenAI and Anthropic is expected to exceed 35.6 billion dollars. Microsoft's AI revenue in FY2026 is about 34.5 billion dollars, with capital expenditure during the same period of about 115.9 billion dollars. This analysis has raised market concerns about the overbuilding of AI data centers and the sustainability of demand, questioning whether the three major cloud providers should disclose customer revenue concentration risks more transparently. Currently, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon have not publicly responded to this.

According to Reuters, citing two informed sources, the Trump administration informed leading AI companies on Tuesday that it will not conduct security testing on open-weight AI models. This decision marks a new direction for the U.S. government in its approach to AI regulation. Open-weight models allow developers and users to freely download, modify, and deploy model parameters without relying on closed API access. Previously, organizations such as the American Institute for AI Safety (AISI) had conducted security assessments on cutting-edge models. The White House and relevant departments have not publicly commented on this matter yet.

According to TASS, Russian President Putin signed a law on August 4 that implements comprehensive regulation for the circulation of digital currencies and digital rights within Russia for the first time. This law establishes an operational framework for cryptocurrency exchanges, digital custodians, and market participants, while also regulating cryptocurrency mining and the issuance and circulation of digital financial assets (DFA).Key points include: cryptocurrency exchanges must be included in a special register to operate (with a transition period until July 1, 2027), and the minimum registered capital requirement is 15 million rubles (approximately $187,000); the use of cryptocurrency for payment of goods and services remains prohibited domestically, but it is allowed for cross-border trade settlements and mining income; non-qualified investors have a purchase limit of 300,000 rubles (approximately $3,700) per year per intermediary, while qualified investors are not subject to restrictions; banks have the right to freeze funds involved in unauthorized cryptocurrency transactions. The core provisions of the law will officially take effect on September 1, 2026, with some provisions being implemented in batches on July 1 and September 1, 2027.

According to Bitcoin Magazine, the BIP-110 soft fork is about to enter a critical activation phase. The proposal will enter the mandatory signaling phase around August 9, corresponding to block height 961,632, and is expected to lock in at block 963,648 by the end of August, with new transaction rules activated at block 965,664 in early September. BIP-110 adopts a 55% signaling threshold, and its restrictions will be enforced for 52,416 blocks (approximately one year).BIP-110 mainly restricts transaction features such as large data pushes, oversized output scripts, undefined witness versions, and Taproot annexes, but exempts UTXOs created before activation, maintaining compatibility for standard currency use. Analysis indicates that most businesses do not need to take action—businesses that act as value storage or process transactions through third-party payment providers are essentially unaffected. Businesses running their own full nodes can choose whether to switch to BIP-110 nodes. The core risk to be aware of is chain forking. If a fork occurs, miners should choose the branch expected to prevail or pause and wait; exchanges and custodians should increase confirmation requirements, monitor dual chains, and delay final settlements to prevent double spending and false confirmation risks. If there is no fork, no special actions are required.
