According to the Wall Street Journal, after nearly a year of freezing hiring, several large companies in the United States have begun to rehire, with railway giant CSX and Google's parent company Alphabet recently indicating plans to recruit to support growth targets or seize emerging technology opportunities. Over the past year and a half, large employers have generally reduced white-collar positions, partly due to economic uncertainty and partly based on the judgment that reducing staff can lead to faster growth and that AI can take on more work. However, some executives now state that the costs and limitations of AI actually require an increase in personnel.The report states that Booz Allen's Chief Operating Officer Kristine Martin Anderson indicated that the company needs to accelerate hiring, as it cut thousands of positions last year amid a contraction in federal contracts, with a total headcount of about 30,900 as of June 30, a year-on-year decrease of 7.5%. Sarah Franklin, CEO of the HR platform Lattice, stated that many companies had paused hiring for junior positions due to expectations that AI would take over jobs, but now realize that even with programming agents, they still need to hire engineers and are currently re-hiring a large number of junior positions. At the same time, layoffs in the U.S. have slowed, with initial jobless claims recently dropping to the lowest level since 1969.

On July 22, Pennsylvania State Representative Tarik Khan introduced HB 2711, co-sponsored by 24 bipartisan legislators (20 Democrats and 4 Republicans), which has been submitted to the House Consumer Protection, Technology, and Utilities Committee. The bill aims to prohibit the provision of prediction market services to Pennsylvania residents while engaging in gambling activities in the regular business of liquidity providers or market makers, extending the restrictions to parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, and joint ventures, and prohibits prediction platforms from sharing revenue with gambling companies.This move could impact sports betting groups like DraftKings (which has acquired CFTC-registered Railbird Technologies and launched its own DKeX exchange) and Flutter, which are entering the prediction market-making field. The bill also sets a minimum age limit of 21, prohibits contracts involving high school sports, events with minor participation, and death markets, and requires platforms to establish anti-fraud and insider information abuse protection mechanisms.The bill does not establish a licensing system, and enforcement authority is granted to the state Attorney General. Previously, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2:1 in April that the federal Commodity Exchange Act takes precedence over state gambling laws, but Pennsylvania has joined a coalition of 40 states advocating for sports contracts to be subject to state-level regulation.

Wall Street investment bank TD Cowen has lowered the target price for Bitcoin treasury company Nakamoto Inc. (NASDAQ: NAKA), reducing the split-adjusted target price from $40 to $17, a decrease of 58%, but still maintaining a "Buy" rating. TD Cowen analysts stated that this adjustment is mainly due to the pressure on Nakamoto's highly leveraged capital structure from the decline in Bitcoin prices.Although the new target price still implies about a 275% upside from the current stock price of $4.65, the company's stock is highly sensitive to fluctuations in Bitcoin prices. TD Cowen expects Bitcoin to rebound to $100,000 by the end of 2026, which is about 25% lower than the historical high of $126,000 set last October. At the same time, the firm anticipates that Nakamoto will suspend further Bitcoin purchases before 2027.Analysts pointed out that Nakamoto's core value still comes from its Bitcoin assets, with the company currently holding 4,467 BTC, valued at approximately $290 million, ranking 22nd among publicly listed companies in terms of Bitcoin holdings. However, the company's debt and preferred stock financing structure have also compressed the asset value available to common stockholders. Recently, Nakamoto has completed several financial adjustments, including repaying approximately $45 million in debt, extending the principal of $105 million to June 2027, reducing financing costs, and approving a $25 million stock buyback plan. Additionally, the company has closed its previously operated medical clinic business and will focus on Bitcoin media, asset management, and consulting services in the future. Data shows that NAKA's stock price has fallen over 71% this year, while Bitcoin has declined about 26% during the same period. Market attention is shifting from "continuously purchasing BTC" to the asset-liability structure and financing capabilities of Bitcoin treasury companies.
