The U.S. House of Representatives will vote next Tuesday on a temporary funding bill. This vote will use the "suspension of the rules" procedure, which means the bill must receive a two-thirds majority support from those present to pass. This high threshold voting procedure is typically used for legislative matters that are less controversial and have bipartisan consensus.The background for this vote is the funding deadline pressure facing the U.S. federal government. The federal funding for the current fiscal year will expire on September 30, and if Congress fails to pass a new funding bill or a temporary continuing resolution before then, the federal government will face the risk of a partial shutdown. Previously, the House and Senate have each advanced their own temporary funding proposals aimed at extending government funding into the fall.

According to a report released by the oracle provider RedStone, the scale of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) on the Stellar chain surpassed $3 billion in July, while the total value locked (TVL) in the network's DeFi was only $213 million, showing a significant gap between the two. The report pointed out that the issuance speed of RWA far exceeds the development of the lending market and collateral pools, which has become a bottleneck restricting the use of on-chain assets.RedStone attributed the growth mainly to four products: Amundi and Spiko's overnight fund ($713 million), Spiko's government bond fund ($536 million), Ondo's USDY (over $533 million), and VuMe Bond 2030 ($500 million). Data from DefiLlama shows that the TVL of the Stellar network is $232.72 million, of which the lending protocol Blend has locked $150.03 million, but the funding pool accepting RWA as collateral is only about $2 million.The report believes that the settlement times of traditional government bonds, credit funds, and money market funds do not match the instant settlement requirements of on-chain lending, while 24/7 price oracles are key to making RWA usable as collateral. Currently, Stellar has connected to 55 SEP-40 price sources from RedStone, covering government bonds, corporate credit, tokenized gold, and money market funds. In addition, the report mentioned that the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) plans to introduce custodial assets to Stellar by 2027, with a scale of custodial assets reaching $114 trillion.

According to Coinglass data, if Bitcoin falls below $76,000, the cumulative long liquidation intensity on mainstream CEXs will reach $797 million. Conversely, if Bitcoin breaks above $80,000, the cumulative short liquidation intensity on mainstream CEXs will reach $708 million.The liquidation chart does not display the exact number of contracts pending liquidation or the exact value of contracts being liquidated. The bars on the liquidation chart actually show the significance of each liquidation cluster relative to nearby liquidation clusters, that is, the intensity. Therefore, the liquidation chart illustrates to what extent the underlying price reaching a certain position will be affected. A higher "liquidation bar" indicates that once the price reaches that point, there will be a stronger reaction due to liquidity waves.

Coinbase announced the architecture and application of its internal AI system "CEEcil." This system is not just a simple chatbot; it is designed to function as an AI agent similar to a "team member," which can be @mentioned in Slack and possesses long-term memory, proactive follow-up, and judgment capabilities.CEEcil retains team context through a three-layer memory mechanism: it continuously extracts information such as decisions, blockers, and responsible parties from authorized channels in the background; integrates short-term observations into long-term summaries every night; and retrieves historical memories, recent conversations, and real-time data as needed when answering questions. The system also employs a layered model architecture, prioritizing simple queries to be processed through APIs or knowledge bases, while only delegating complex, multi-step tasks to stronger AI models to reduce costs and delays.Coinbase stated that CEEcil is currently able to assist teams in handling production incidents and answering expert knowledge that would normally take hours to obtain; in the future, it hopes to expand this model into multiple AI agents tailored for specific teams, allowing AI not only to "answer questions" but also to retain memory, actively participate, and complete actual work.

U.S. short-term Treasury yields rose. Federal Reserve Chairman Waller emphasized in a highly anticipated speech that the Fed needs to curb rising consumer prices, alleviating some market concerns about its ability to combat inflation.During Waller's speech, short-term U.S. Treasuries were sold off, while long-term Treasuries rose. The yield on the two-year Treasury increased by 5 basis points to 4.28%, while the 30-year yield decreased by 1 basis point to 5.19%. These changes indicate that the market expects the Fed may need to raise short-term rates. Since Waller held his first press conference in June, bond traders have had doubts about his policy stance. At that time, Waller emphasized the need to lower inflation and showed a hawkish stance.Since the global economy reopened from the pandemic in 2021, U.S. inflation has remained above the Fed's 2% target. However, in July, the Fed again kept rates unchanged, and Waller did not indicate whether a rate hike might occur this year. Subsequently, long-term Treasury yields surged as traders demanded higher returns to compensate for the risks posed by rising inflation.Waller warned on Friday that inflation has not shown meaningful signs of slowing and stated that policymakers must be confident that inflation is improving; otherwise, the central bank "has work to do." He also reiterated that policymakers will bring the inflation rate back to the 2% target and emphasized that this goal is clear and fixed.

Federal Reserve Chairman Waller stated, "Although the PCE and CPI data released this summer were better than expected, they did not convince me that there has been a meaningful improvement in the underlying trend of inflation." "Market prices reflect that the market believes we will achieve price stability. I can assure you that the market's judgment is correct."Waller then stated that with inflation rates above 2%, the Federal Reserve's "current top priority should be prices." This highly anticipated speech by Waller comes at a time when there is criticism of its streamlined communication strategy. Economists and market participants believe that this strategy lacks clear articulation regarding the recent economic and monetary policy outlook.Waller's speech seems to address these concerns, as he elaborated more deeply than before on his views regarding the economic situation and the focus of Federal Reserve policy under his leadership. He said, "Let us also clarify another aspect of our goals: price stability will not be achieved automatically, and inflation will not necessarily return on its own. Achieving price stability is the responsibility of the Federal Reserve." It is expected that Waller will not answer questions posed by on-site central bank officials and economists.

DWF Ventures released a report stating that as trading fees continue to approach zero, social trading is becoming a new direction for financial trading platforms to compete for users and build moats.The rise of social trading stems from users seeking validation from others and references for investment decisions. From early brokerage copy trading to investment communities like Reddit and Stocktwits, and now to platforms that combine real position verification, trading signals, and social relationships, social trading is evolving from a simple copy trading tool into a product form that integrates trading, content, and social interaction. As trade execution becomes increasingly homogenized, the future competitive advantage of platforms may come more from network effects, resources of well-known traders, and exclusive information and distribution capabilities.Analysis suggests that social trading platforms are forming a clear growth flywheel: platforms attract well-known traders and their fans, traders build reputations through public trading, fans amplify market influence by following trades, which in turn increases the visibility of traders and the user base of the platform. Public calls for trades may even generate a certain "self-fulfilling" effect in this process.Platforms also lower the entry barriers for users through one-click trading, low-threshold acceptance, trading competitions, and fee incentives, and leverage the social influence of top traders to facilitate user migration. In the future, the social trading ecosystem in the cryptocurrency and traditional stock sectors may further integrate, and platforms that master trader, user attention, and information flow are expected to form stronger network effects.However, social trading also faces significant structural risks. Data shows that among approximately 292,000 wallets analyzed by the Fomo platform over the past three months, only 6.16% achieved profitability based on realized gains. Followers lack independent investment logic and are easily influenced by herd behavior, while there may also be conflicts of interest between traders and followers.Furthermore, even if platforms can verify public positions, traders may still establish undisclosed positions through other wallets, making information asymmetry difficult to eliminate completely. Analysis suggests that as the boundaries between trading and entertainment continue to blur, platforms that can establish unique information layers, gather quality traders, and form network effects may gain an advantage in the competitive social trading market.
