World Chain to launch EIP-7928 block access list feature on August 17
Odaily - World Chain will launch full block access lists on mainnet on August 17, enabling the feature via a runtime flag without requiring a coordinated network-wide hard fork. The network claims it will become the first production L2 network to stream EIP-7928 access list data within every flashblock.
The feature transmits access list data every 200 milliseconds, allowing validators to verify transactions in parallel during block construction. World Chain states the upgrade aims to achieve throughput of up to 1 gigagas per second without raising validator hardware requirements.
EIP-7928 is an Ethereum upgrade proposal that introduces block-level access lists, recording the accounts and storage slots touched during block execution. World Chain's internal testing shows that validation latency remained stable when throughput rose to 1 gigagas per second on standard cloud infrastructure.

August 19
Odaily - According to sources familiar with the matter, the White House is expected to host a gathering of executives from the crypto and prediction market industries next Wednesday, with U.S. President Trump planning to attend. CEOs from companies including Coinbase, Ripple, Gemini, Robinhood, Polymarket, and Kalshi will also participate.
The CEOs of these companies are all members of the CFTC's newly established Innovation Advisory Committee. The meeting will serve as a warm-up for the committee's first formal session, with participants discussing developments in cryptocurrency, prediction markets, and artificial intelligence. (CoinDesk)
Odaily - The Financial Services Commission of South Korea has announced it will further raise investor qualification requirements for single-stock leveraged ETFs and ETNs, with the new rules taking effect on August 19. In addition to the existing KRW 30 million base margin requirement and 3 hours of pre-trading education, first-time individual ordinary investors in leveraged products tracking single domestic or foreign instruments must also complete simulated trading.
Additionally, deviation rate management standards for ETFs and ETNs will be comprehensively tightened. For domestic Korean ETFs and ETNs, the closing deviation rate management range will be tightened from 3% to 2%, while for overseas products it will be tightened from 6% to 5%. For deviation rates calculated as negative values, the absolute value will be used. Under the new rules, if the deviation rate exceeds twice the management range, it will trigger screening and designation notice; if it exceeds twice the range again within 10 trading days from the designation notice date, or exceeds the standard for two consecutive trading days, the product may be designated as an investment caution item, after which a 3-trading-day call auction period will be implemented.
The South Korean Financial Services Commission explained that the tighter regulation is due to the negative compounding effect of single-stock leveraged products, where investors may incur losses even if the underlying asset trades sideways. The authority hopes investors will fully understand the product structure and risks before actually investing.

Federal Reserve to release monetary policy meeting minutes on August 20
Odaily - At 2:00 AM Beijing time on Thursday, August 20, the Federal Reserve will release the minutes from its July monetary policy meeting. At the July meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee voted 9 to 3 to hold the federal funds rate in the 3.5% to 3.75% range, while Cleveland Fed President Hammack, Minneapolis Fed President Kashkari, and Dallas Fed President Logan advocated for an immediate 25-basis-point rate hike.
This clear divergence stands in contrast to current market pricing. According to LSEG data as of Friday, money markets priced only a 27% probability of a 25-basis-point hike in September, with a full hike not priced in until early 2027. Therefore, markets will focus on finding answers to two questions: besides the three public dissenters, whether more committee members believed conditions were ripe for a hike in July; and what evidence the majority who chose to hold would need to see before shifting toward supporting a rate hike.
However, these minutes are essentially a "lagging document." Since the July meeting, U.S. economic data has weakened overall: July nonfarm payrolls unexpectedly declined, CPI year-over-year growth eased from 3.5% to 3.4%, PPI was flat month-over-month, and retail sales unexpectedly fell 0.6%. Together, these data points have weakened the case for an immediate September hike, making "wait and see" the baseline expectation in current markets.
Odaily - CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig has announced the agenda for the Innovation Advisory Committee's first meeting, which will be held in Washington on August 20. The meeting will focus on topics including crypto asset regulation, artificial intelligence, and prediction markets, and will be livestreamed via the CFTC's official website.
Selig expressed anticipation for discussing with committee members how emerging technologies and financial products are shaping markets and driving financial innovation. The public may submit comments on matters related to the meeting until August 27.
Odaily - South Korea's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) and Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) held an explanatory session in Seoul on August 13 for virtual asset service providers and prospective operators, releasing a revised registration manual. The review scope now covers not only the largest shareholder and major shareholders holding 10% or more of shares, but also shareholders with special relationships to the largest shareholder. If the largest shareholder is a legal entity, that entity's own largest shareholder and legal representatives may also be included in the review scope. If major shareholders or the company's legal compliance framework change, operators must notify financial authorities at least 30 days in advance.
Binance to adjust price precision for multiple spot trading pairs on August 20
Odaily - According to the official announcement, Binance will adjust the price precision (i.e., minimum price increment) for multiple spot trading pairs at 05:00 (UTC) on August 20, 2026, affecting over 20 trading pairs including 0G/TRY, 1000CAT/USDT, and EGLD/EUR. The adjustment aims to increase market liquidity and improve trading experience, and will not affect spot trading or other related functions. API users can obtain the latest price precision via GET/api/v3/exchangeInfo. After the adjustment, existing spot orders will still be matched at the original precision, and users should adjust their trading bots accordingly to avoid any impact.
Upbit to suspend ONT, ONG and MBL deposit and withdrawal services starting August 20
Odaily - Upbit will suspend deposit and withdrawal services for digital assets based on the Ontology network starting at 23:00 (Korea Standard Time) on August 20, 2026.
