Coinbase is scheduled to halt trading in 10 perpetual contracts, including MEME-PERP and SAND-PERP, and the European Union’s expanded crypto restrictions on Belarus under MiCA will begin to apply on Aug. 25. Macro events are also clustered midweek. The US will release July core PCE, personal spending, second-quarter real GDP revision and durable goods orders on Aug. 26. Nvidia’s earnings are due at 04:00 Beijing time on Aug. 27, with its guidance described in the source material as a key test for the AI capital spending cycle. On Aug. 28, Federal Reserve Chair Warsh is set to make his first appearance at the Jackson Hole global central bank symposium.

Taurus, the Swiss digital asset infrastructure company, has completed a full-stack integration with the Hedera network after an 18-month implementation. The integration unifies the Taurus-PROTECT, Taurus-EXPLORER and Taurus-CAPITAL product lines and makes custody, staking, token issuance, node infrastructure and smart contract deployment available to more than 40 banks and regulated financial institutions. Deutsche Bank and State Street are among the clients covered by the integration. Taurus co-founder Lamine Brahimi said financial institutions need a single platform that supports multiple digital asset use cases, and the completed integration reduces the fragmentation that occurs when banks work with several vendors separately. The announcement was first reported by crypto.news.

July 28 brought a dense mix of crypto market moves, semiconductor headlines, AI developments, and regulatory updates. In equities tied to China’s chip sector, CXMT posted a 465.82% gain on its first trading day, with turnover topping RMB 140 billion and market capitalization reaching RMB 3.28 trillion. Separate reporting cited by The Information said a Shanghai state-backed company has started mass production of self-developed DUV lithography manufacturing equipment, with output planned at around five units in 2026 and about 20 in 2027; SMIC, Hua Hong Semiconductor, and CXMT were named as intended customers. In crypto, most of the highest-volume CEX tokens were down over the past 24 hours, while AEON led the OKX gainers list with an 84.28% rise. Hyperliquid data around the CXMT IPO drew attention after Allium said pre-listing volume reached $17.8 million and that 96% of smart-money accounts had established profitable shorts before the open. Elsewhere, Strategy disclosed its first buyback of Stretch STRC shares under its digital credit securities repurchase plan, and Triple-A’s reported exploit losses expanded to $11.8 million.

Abraxas Capital has long been a familiar name to on-chain sleuths and a largely invisible one to the broader public. The firm, founded in London in 2002 by Fabio Frontini and Luca Celati, began as a global macro shop before shifting its focus to digital assets in 2017. A review of its addresses, fund disclosures, and arbitration records now sketches a much larger picture: a trading and treasury network spanning centralized exchanges, DeFi lending markets, stablecoin issuance channels, and large public hedge positions. The report says Abraxas’s Elysium and Heka structures became major institutional conduits for USDT, with more than $1.5 billion in USDT attributed to Heka-related address paths by 2021. Arbitration materials made public in July 2026 also showed Tether held roughly $500.2 million in Elysium on April 28, 2023, rising to about $504.6 million a month later. By the arbitration phase, Tether’s investment had reached $800 million, or about 75% of Elysium’s assets, and founder Fabio Frontini testified that Tether added another $500 million in February 2024. As of July 23, 2026, 43 identifiable Abraxas addresses reportedly held about $1.142 billion in assets, including $548.6 million in BTC and $440.5 million in ETH. The same network has also been tied to massive ETH transfers, heavy USDe and sUSDe activity, and a Hyperliquid account whose 54 measurable trades generated about $78.11 million in profit.
