Gray Research Director: ETH and SOL may face supply contraction, and the reduction of inflation mechanisms will strengthen token scarcity

Grayscale Research Director Zach Pandl stated that the two major blockchain networks, Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL), are considering adjusting their token economic models to enhance asset scarcity by reducing future token supply growth through lowering annual inflation rates. As important native assets supporting stablecoins and tokenized asset ecosystems, the prices of ETH and SOL are primarily determined by supply and demand dynamics. If the relevant code upgrade proposals are approved, under unchanged conditions, lower supply growth may provide support for token prices.According to Grayscale's analysis, if the relevant adjustments are implemented, the supply inflation rates of BTC, ETH, and SOL will continue to decline over the next five years. By the end of 2031, the annual inflation rates for Bitcoin and Ethereum are expected to be around 0.4%, and Solana around 1.1%, which is lower than gold's annual supply growth rate of about 1.8% and the U.S. CPI inflation level of about 3.3%. Currently, these token economic adjustments are still in the community discussion phase. Among them, the Solana-related proposal has gained broader support and has a higher likelihood of implementation; the Ethereum proposal still requires further discussion.If the adjustments are implemented, staking users may face reduced token rewards, as part of the staking income comes from the issuance of new tokens. However, due to the decline in the growth rate of circulating supply, the scarcity value of the tokens may increase, potentially providing price support. For ETH and SOL holders who do not participate in staking, they may benefit directly; the final returns for stakers will depend on the balance between the decrease in rewards and the increase in prices. Zach Pandl concluded that ETH and SOL are becoming important digital commodities supporting stablecoins and the tokenization of real assets, and the economic model adjustments aimed at reducing inflation may further strengthen their scarcity attributes.

first_img Binance will gradually restrict trading with 17 cryptocurrency trading platforms including BitPapa and Tradex

Binance announced that, in response to recent regulatory changes, to continuously comply with relevant regulations and ensure the safety of user assets, Binance will no longer process transactions involving certain cryptocurrency service providers/platforms starting from the following dates: effective August 7, including Shelbit, Aban Tether Exchange; effective August 13, including A7 Nigeria, A7 Africa, PilotFinance; effective August 23, including Rapira, Aifory Pro, ABCeX, WhiteBird, NoOnecrypto, Tradex, Monease, BitPapa, Exnode, Exnode Pay, HTX (Huobi Global SA), EXMO, and other platforms.Binance reminds users to avoid transferring or receiving assets directly or indirectly to the above entities, or engaging in other transactions with them, as related transactions may require additional compliance review, during which wallets may be restricted, and related activities may also involve violations of Binance's Terms of Use.A spokesperson for Huobi HTX responded that Huobi HTX has always strictly complied with the relevant laws and regulations of its operating location. Regarding recent sanctions related to the EU and the UK, the platform is actively communicating and has made good progress.The spokesperson for Huobi HTX also stated that Huobi HTX is currently not operating in the EU region and does not have EU region customers, so users need not worry excessively. The platform will continue to prioritize compliance and actively and responsibly advance related matters, and also appreciates the community's understanding and support.

Bit Digital holds over 160,000 ETH, Riot and Nakamoto disclose second quarter financial reports and BTC collateral debt

According to BBX data, yesterday global publicly listed companies in the US disclosed the latest real accounts regarding their holdings in crypto assets, mining costs, and debt collateral structures. The core updates are as follows:Bit Digital ( NASDAQ : $ BTBT ) narrowed losses in Q2, holding over 164,000 ETH: Nasdaq-listed company Bit Digital announced its financial performance for Q2 2026. The company's total revenue for Q2 was $32.1 million (a 15% quarter-over-quarter increase), with a gross profit of $18.6 million (gross margin of 57.9%), and a net loss attributable to shareholders narrowed to $107.2 million. As of June 30, 2026, the company held Ethereum reserves of 164,310.5 ETH, along with approximately $83.6 million in cash and cash equivalents.Riot Platforms ( NASDAQ : $ RIOT ) Q2 revenue of $174.2 million, reserves over 11,000 BTC: US-listed mining company Riot Platforms released its Q2 financial report, with total revenue for the quarter reaching $174.2 million (a 14% year-over-year increase), of which the data center business contributed $23.2 million; Q2 Bitcoin production was 1,587 BTC, with an average mining cash cost of $49,912 per BTC. By the end of Q2, Riot held over $1.2 billion in liquid assets, including 11,380 BTC (of which 5,821 BTC were used as collateral) and $548.9 million in cash.Nakamoto ( NASDAQ : $ NAKA ) sold 600 BTC to repay loans, still holding 4,467 BTC: Bitcoin treasury company Nakamoto announced its Q2 performance, with total revenue of $35.87 million and a net loss of $133 million. During the quarter, the company sold approximately 600 BTC and some derivative positions, generating about $48 million in net proceeds to repay a Bitcoin collateral loan of $45 million USDT. As of the end of June, the company still held 4,467 BTC (with a fair value of approximately $262 million, of which 3,805 BTC have been pledged as debt collateral), with total debt of approximately $165 million.

hot_img NVIDIA's Feynman platform is expected to go into mass production in 2028, with TSMC's A16 and SoIC expanding production simultaneously

According to DIGITIMES, NVIDIA's next-generation AI platform Feynman aims for mass production in the second half of 2028, utilizing TSMC's A16 process and incorporating SoIC 3D stacking and CPO technology. The Rubin generation focuses on integrating multiple small chips with HBM, while Feynman further develops towards 3D small chips, SoIC, and CPO. The report indicates that TSMC is accelerating the construction of related production capacity, with the original plan for SoIC monthly capacity to reach 20,000 pieces by the end of 2026, now updated to a target of 50,000 pieces by the end of 2027.The construction progress of TSMC's Chiayi AP7 and Tainan AP8 is also accelerating, with AP7 planned in 8 phases. P1 and P2 have entered installation, P3 and P4 have obtained construction permits, and P5 to P8 are still in planning. In addition to mass-producing Apple-specific WMCM, the factory will configure SoIC, CoPoS, and CPO production lines according to customer demand. NVIDIA has rapidly shifted its R&D and supply chain resources to the Feynman platform, and the spillover effect of TSMC's advanced packaging orders continues to expand, with Siliconware becoming the main testing and packaging factory for NVIDIA's CoWoS and CPO orders. The NVLink interconnect bandwidth of NVIDIA's Feynman platform is expected to exceed 1 PB/s, further improving from Rubin Ultra's 520 TB/s. TSMC's COUPE technology integrates EIC and PIC in 3D through SoIC to form a light engine, advancing optoelectronic conversion from traditional circuit boards to the internal packaging structure. Since 2026, NVIDIA has invested over $40 billion in building the AI ecosystem, covering areas such as models, wafer manufacturing, data centers, and optical communications.
