Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said weekend trading activity in the exchange’s tokenized U.S. stock products surged after a sudden shift in the Middle East situation, when traditional U.S. equity markets were closed and traders looked for alternative venues. In a post on X, Chen said Bitget’s stock tokens, known as rToken, absorbed part of that overflow demand because they trade around the clock as real-world asset products. According to the figures she shared, weekend rToken volume reached 10 times the level of the previous weekend and was about 2.2 times higher than the average weekend level seen in June. The most actively traded names were rNVDA, rMU and rGOOGL. Chen also said Bitget’s VIP users were more active in weekend U.S. stock token trading than the platform-wide average. She added that the absolute scale of weekend trading in tokenized U.S. stocks is still at an early stage. Even so, she said recent market volatility has already shown the value of 24/7 trading access.

Ghost Font, a browser-based experiment by developer Eric Lu, briefly looked like a fresh way to hide text from AI systems while keeping it readable to people. The tool turns typed text into a noisy video: pixels forming letters move upward while the background noise moves downward. Humans can spot the message through motion, but frame-by-frame analysis leaves only static snow. Initial tests appeared to support the idea. According to the article, Claude Fable and GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra both failed to recover the real hidden message and instead reported decoy text embedded in the video. ChatGPT 5.5 Pro reportedly spent 19 minutes and still hallucinated a message that was not there. Gemini 3.1 Pro also returned a planted decoy. That edge did not last. Prompt engineer Riley Goodside gave GPT-5.6 Sol a single instruction explaining the motion directions of the letter pixels and the background. After 1 minute and 56 seconds, the model produced the correct message: “RILEY WAS HERE.” The episode turned Ghost Font from a showcase of human perceptual advantage into a test of how close current multimodal AI is to handling motion once the right cue is provided.

Pump.fun remains one of the top-earning Web3 protocols, posting $28.4 million in revenue over the past 30 days, according to DefiLlama. But its token, PUMP, is now facing a major supply test. The project has unlocked 82.5 billion tokens for team members and investors, equal to 8.25% of total supply and 20.23% of the pre-unlock circulating supply, with the article valuing that tranche at about $125 million. The pressure comes as Pump.fun’s buyback support has weakened. After previously using 100% of net protocol fees to repurchase PUMP, the platform said in April that it would cut the ratio to 50%, leaving the rest for hiring, marketing, and acquisitions. Monthly buybacks fell to $9.2 million in June, down more than 80% from the peak cited in the article. The piece argues that the short-term issue is whether the market can absorb newly unlocked supply, especially with PUMP’s 24-hour trading volume at just $28 million. Over a longer horizon, it frames the token’s outlook around Pump.fun’s ability to keep generating revenue rather than around a single meme coin cycle.

Bank of America said in a July 11 research note that the global memory market is still in an ASP-led supercycle. The bank expects global DRAM revenue to rise 325% year over year in 2026 to $568.8 billion, while NAND revenue is projected to increase 299% to $323.1 billion. Combined DRAM and NAND revenue is forecast to reach $891.8 billion, up 315% from 2025. BofA said the current expansion is being driven mainly by a rebound in pricing rather than shipment growth alone. The note also projects average selling prices in 2026 to climb 249% for DRAM and 238% for NAND. By 2027, the bank said combined revenue from the two product categories could rise further to $1.25 trillion.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry said on July 13 that the United States has repeatedly violated agreements and that Tehran will not carry out its own commitments under a memorandum of understanding signed with واشنگton unless the U.S. first fulfills its obligations. The statement was attributed to a spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry in a report published by BlockBeats. The comment framed Iran’s position as conditional: no Iranian compliance with the memorandum so long as the U.S. does not meet its side of the commitments. No additional details about the memorandum or the alleged violations were provided in the source brief.
