Odaily Odaily reports that mentions of Bitcoin and Ethereum on the X platform have hit a 12-month low, with approximately 130,000 mentions for Bitcoin and 40,000 for Ethereum, pushing retail investor attention back to 2020 levels. At that time, institutional interest in crypto was still in its infancy; now, institutional participation continues to rise, and tokenization has become a hot topic at major conferences and in traditional financial media.
Analysts point out that tweet volume serves as a proxy indicator for retail attention. The current reading suggests retail interest has fallen back to 2020 levels, while institutional engagement is moving in the opposite direction. Historically, low tweet volume has often coincided with periods of price stagnation or decline, but price movements and infrastructure development may no longer require the same scale of public attention to drive them forward.

Odaily Odaily News: Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on X platform in response to user questions about Base's development direction. Brian Armstrong stated that he agrees with user criticism regarding Content Coins, calling that direction "not working out," and noted that Base made adjustments and re-planned its direction early this year. In response to skepticism about Base shifting towards AI Agents, Brian Armstrong expressed disagreement. He pointed out that Base has long focused on three core directions: trading, payments, and AI Agents, and all three are interconnected. For example, payments require trading infrastructure such as foreign exchange, while AI Agents will also heavily engage in trading and payment scenarios in the future.
He added that currently, most of Base's resources are still invested in the trading direction. Although these investments have not yet fully materialized in the external market, relevant construction is progressing.

According to Odaily, on July 13 local time, US President Donald Trump told the media at the White House that he still believes a deal between the US and Iran is possible, that Iran wants a deal, and has re-established contact with the US side. Trump also stated that the US military will continue to launch fierce strikes against Iran, significantly weakening Iran's ability to influence traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, while simultaneously restoring a blockade targeting only Iran; any vessels conducting business with Iran will be unable to pass, while other countries and ships can continue normal passage.
Odaily reported that Iran's Foreign Minister stated President Trump's remarks were completely correct; any party providing security guarantees for the safe passage of commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz should be compensated. However, a 20% charge is too high, and Iran will set a fair fee.
Odaily reports that Haseeb posted on X, stating that with models like GLM 5.2, Fable, and GPT 5.6 already launched and actively used by attackers, DeFi has not experienced the anticipated "hacker apocalypse." Chart data shows that based on the current year's data and running rate, the annualized amount stolen from DeFi in 2026 is approximately $1.89 billion. The cumulative stolen amount for the year is around $986 million, lower than the 2025 level and still within the historical range. Haseeb noted that the deeper change now is that while the number of hacker attacks has increased, the scale of individual attacks is declining more rapidly. Attackers are increasingly targeting smaller protocols and abandoned projects, while large protocols have implemented more security enhancements. As a result, overall fund security has not significantly deteriorated.
