Odaily Planet Daily News: 10x Research's latest report indicates that after months of narrow-range consolidation, Bitcoin has finally seen a breakout. It stated that its most preferred strategy this month is buying call options with a strike price of $70,000. The option was priced as low as around $300 on August 5th, dipped to $30 three days ago, then soared to a high of $1600, and is currently trading at approximately $1300.

10x Research also stated that a better trading strategy is the $70,000/$80,000 strike price call spread expiring in September. This structure is more bullish while still retaining some flexibility.

Earlier, it suggested buying on dips when Circle fell to around $60-$61, and its stock price has now risen to $80, an increase of over 31%. In terms of gold, the previously predicted breakout has also materialized, with prices rising from $4100 to $4571, an increase of about 11%. It believes that the US debt level is about to break through the $40 trillion mark, which is one of the core drivers of the current macro outlook.

Odaily News: Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev called on Trump this morning at a White House cryptocurrency meeting to relax U.S. "tokenization" regulation.

Vlad stated: "Through tokenization technology, Robinhood is extending ownership of U.S. assets to users in more than 120 countries worldwide. Yet this innovation is reaching overseas investors before benefiting investors here at home—and this opportunity extends far beyond public markets. Tokenization will open up markets that have long been out of reach, including private enterprises (unlisted companies). In today's market, too much economic value is being created before ordinary investors ever get a chance to participate."

Vlad urged: "Innovation and investor protection are not opposing goals. America became the global capital markets leader precisely by balancing both. The SEC and CFTC chairs in this room know full well that it is American companies building this technology, American markets powering it, and American assets at its core. U.S. investors should not be the last to benefit. We look forward to continuing to work together to expand ownership, build the next generation of capital markets, and ensure America stays ahead on this path."

Wang Xingxing addressed on-site why the company's products have not yet been widely deployed in scenarios such as factories and households. "The main reason is simply that the overall efficiency and capabilities are still insufficient. In short, although our robots can perform certain tasks right now, their efficiency is still somewhat lower compared to humans."

Additionally, he stated that currently, when humanoid robots encounter new tasks, they need to be retrained, which results in relatively lower efficiency. "So we hope to make the technology more generalized and the capabilities more precise before carrying out large-scale deployment in specific scenarios." (Cailian Press)

Odaily News JPMorgan strategists have warned that markets may view the U.S. Treasury's unexpected attempt to压低长期融资成本 as lacking credibility, which could over time push up term premiums and bond yields. The Treasury said on Wednesday that it would at least double the scale of its bond buybacks to provide "greater liquidity support," a move that would push down yields on long-term U.S. bonds. However, JPMorgan noted that this is only a temporary fix: the U.S. economy is near full employment, yet still faces a 6% fiscal deficit.

Strategists including Jay Barry wrote: "Without real fiscal consolidation, we fear the market will see this move as lacking credibility. If the Treasury becomes more opportunistic in debt management and further deviates from its 'regular and predictable' principles, this could lead to higher term premiums and yields." The U.S. national debt has surpassed $40 trillion, making it harder for policymakers to control financing costs, while the government continues to issue more debt. A market survey shows that about 60% of respondents believe the U.S. debt situation will continue to deteriorate until it triggers a major crisis. (Jin Shi)
