Duan Yongping responded on Xueqiu regarding the recent changes in his holdings of Pop Mart, stating that he has "never directly sold a single share of Pop Mart." The changes in his holdings mainly come from options trading and expiration exercises, and do not indicate a long-term bearish view on Pop Mart.Duan Yongping mentioned that when the position of selling puts approaches the limit, he will adopt the strategy of "buying stocks + selling calls." After expiration, if the stocks are called away, it is essentially a similar trading strategy to selling puts that are exercised at expiration. Currently, the options premium for Pop Mart is about 5% per month, and this strategy may continue to be used for a longer period in the future.Regarding the valuation of Pop Mart, Duan Yongping stated, "Currently, I believe the price of Pop Mart is not expensive in the long term, but I don't know about the short term." He emphasized that there is no specific time or price set for selling Pop Mart, and it may be a long time before that happens.

According to official news, Gate will upgrade the Gate Card points reward program on August 14, 2026. After the upgrade, the assets that can be redeemed with Gate Card points will expand from primarily supporting USDT and GT to include USDT, GT, BTC, ETH, GUSD, as well as tokenized stock assets such as NVDAG, AAPLG, GOOGLG, SPCXG, TSLAG, MUG, SNDKG, and SKHYG, corresponding to Nvidia, Apple, Google, SpaceX, Tesla, Micron Technology, SanDisk, and SK Hynix. The newly added tokenized stock assets cover several popular fields such as AI, semiconductors, and consumer technology. After earning points through eligible daily spending, users can redeem mainstream crypto assets like BTC and ETH according to their preferences, or they can redeem corresponding tokenized stock assets like Nvidia, Apple, Tesla, and SpaceX. In addition, Gate Card points will also support the redemption of gold-backed stablecoins (XAUT), effectively enriching users' options for point redemption.The redemption ratio for Gate Card points remains at 100 points = 1 USDT equivalent asset, and points are permanently valid, with other core rules unchanged. Users can still earn cashback points through eligible Gate Card spending, with the cashback ratio continuing to be calculated based on the user's T0--T5 / VIP level. This upgrade will not affect the existing point acquisition mechanism but will provide users with more asset choices at the redemption end, expanding the application scenarios for Gate Card points. By upgrading the points reward program, Gate Card will further connect payment consumption with asset accumulation, offering users richer rights options and a more flexible asset management experience.

Duan Yongping responded on Xueqiu today regarding the reduction of his position in Pop Mart, stating, "It's just that the put expired, and part was called away by the call." (This means that the put option expired, and a portion of the stock was called away by the call option.)ChainCatcher previously reported that earlier today, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange disclosed that the long position ratio of H&H International Investment, managed by Duan Yongping, in Pop Mart International Group Limited decreased from 7.65% to 5.55% as of July 30, 2026.According to a detailed interpretation of the announcement, this reduction was caused by the exercise of sold calls (call options). Duan Yongping holds the underlying stock of Pop Mart through H&H International Investment while selling call options to earn premiums. After part of the calls expired and were exercised on July 30, Duan Yongping had to deliver stocks at the agreed price, resulting in a decrease in physical holdings, and the disclosed long position ratio dropped from 7.65% to 5.55%.This time, Duan Yongping had part of the calls expire and be exercised, delivering some stocks at an average settlement price of approximately HKD 162.50, resulting in a net decrease of about 8.9328 million shares in physical holdings. Additionally, other option positions expiring or converting contributed to the overall decrease in the disclosed total long position ratio.Duan Yongping is accustomed to using sold options to enhance returns or build positions, and he has performed similar operations on stocks like Apple. On July 23, Duan Yongping had just responded to investors on Xueqiu, stating, "I just started buying Pop Mart, and I probably won't sell for the next 10 years." This decrease in ratio is mainly due to passive reduction caused by option settlements, rather than actively selling in the market. The actual decrease in physical holdings is not as exaggerated as the disclosed ratio suggests, as the disclosed long ratio also includes the impact of related derivative positions.

According to CryptoSlate, Solana increased the block computation unit limit from 60 million to 100 million on July 29, a 66.7% increase. This adjustment provides more parallel processing space for unrelated transactions, reducing the block occupancy rate of a single popular account from the original 20% to 12%.However, the computation limit for writing to the same account in each block remains at 12 million CU, and the incremental data limit for accounts is still 100 MB, which means the congestion bottleneck for popular accounts has not been fundamentally resolved. If a large number of transactions need to be written to the same popular account (such as a high-volume DEX or liquidation contract), they are still subject to this limit. The officials did not provide actual comparative data on transaction confirmation rates, fees, block propagation, or replay before and after the upgrade.
