According to The Bitcoin Historian (@pete_rizzo_), a member of the Taiwanese parliament stated that there is a "100% chance" that Taiwan will establish a strategic reserve of Bitcoin.The legislator emphasized that Bitcoin is different from gold, possessing the characteristics of digital transfer and verification, and pointed out that "the world has changed," with countries competing to lay out Bitcoin for national security considerations, acting ahead of the United States.

F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun stated that they currently do not support the BIP-54 proposal, but if the proposal is strictly advanced according to BIP-9 (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal activation mechanism) and reaches the required absolute majority signal threshold, their team will update the mining pool nodes. Chun indicated that they will not participate in the signal voting for BIP-54 until the formal activation conditions are met.BIP-54 is one of the protocol upgrade proposals recently discussed in the Bitcoin community, involving adjustments to Bitcoin's consensus rules. Wang Chun's statement reflects that some miners remain cautious about the proposal and prefer to promote the upgrade through the standardized BIP-9 process and community consensus.

TSMC announced its revenue report for July 2026, with consolidated revenue of approximately NT$467.58 billion (about US$14.3 billion), a quarter-on-quarter increase of 5.6% and a year-on-year increase of 44.7%. The cumulative revenue from January to July 2026 was approximately NT$2.872 trillion (about US$87.9 billion), a year-on-year increase of 37.0%.In its second-quarter financial report, TSMC stated that demand related to AI remains strong, with HPC and advanced process orders being the main growth drivers. It is expected that annual revenue in US dollars can achieve a mid-to-high double-digit growth. The company is actively promoting the expansion plans for advanced processes such as 2nm and 1.4nm, while the capacity for advanced packaging like CoWoS is also continuously expanding.

According to the Economic Daily News, there are market rumors that TSMC plans to acquire AUO's L7 plant (7.5 generation line) and L5C plant (5 generation line), with the transaction amount estimated to exceed 30 billion New Taiwan Dollars (approximately 920 million USD). Both parties are negotiating based on the "Innolux model," and TSMC has sent personnel for on-site audits but has not yet signed a contract announcement. The AUO Zhongke plant is adjacent to TSMC's Zhongke No. 15 plant, providing geographical advantages.The report states that TSMC plans to use CoPoS technology as the next generation of 2.5D advanced packaging after CoWoS, introducing panel-level glass substrate packaging through "transforming round into square" to address the area waste and warping issues of ultra-large AI chips on 12-inch wafers. TSMC's first CoPoS production line has been completed and launched at the Chiayi AP7 plant. Industry insiders believe that panel manufacturers possess experience in handling large substrates and managing production lines, making them providers of "intermediate layer capabilities" for the mass production of advanced packaging.

F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun stated that OCEAN mining pool co-founder and CTO Luke Dashjr has not only gone bankrupt financially but has also lost his personal credibility.He also sarcastically suggested that Luke might as well try changing the PoW algorithm next, but the outcome would not be good either.

On August 7, Wang Xingxing, Chairman of Yushu Technology, stated during an online roadshow that entering the capital market is a new starting point for the company. In the future, it will continue to deepen the research and development of core technologies for general embodied intelligent robots and their industrial application, while actively exploring more product forms such as humanoid robots, quadruped robots, and mechas.

According to Forbes' real-time billionaire rankings, Justin Sun surpassed Wang Jianlin with an asset worth $8.5 billion compared to Wang's $4.4 billion.In response, Justin Sun stated, "There are no waves, only awakenings. Wang Jianlin was once the god of versions, just as I was an unbelievable young person. The cruelest part of version updates is that those at the peak are always the last to notice.So if today a young person tells me something I don't understand, or even something I want to mock, I find it hard to have the same confidence as Wang Sicong. I would serve him a cup of tea and listen to him talk about his world. Because arrogance is always the first asset to be liquidated. We can never predict the future, but believing in young people is always right."In 2019, after Justin Sun purchased a charity lunch with Buffett for about 31.54 million yuan, Wang Sicong shared related articles on his social media with a mocking caption.

According to Yahoo Finance, the "Financial Supervisory Commission" of Taiwan has announced that starting from October 2026, virtual asset service providers (VASP) in Taiwan must implement the Travel Rule when transferring virtual assets. For transfers exceeding 30,000 New Taiwan Dollars, the transferring party must not only provide basic transaction information but also additional details such as the customer's date of birth and residence for the receiving party to verify identity.This measure will be implemented in phases—starting in October this year, transfers between VASPs within the region will be prioritized, while transfers between VASPs at other addresses are expected to be implemented by the end of 2027. If operators fail to incorporate the relevant processes into their internal control systems or do not implement data transmission, they may face fines ranging from 500,000 to 10 million New Taiwan Dollars under the Anti-Money Laundering Act.

The decentralized asset management protocol Swan Treasury on BNBChain suffered a loss of approximately $625,000 due to a private key leak. The attacker forged a valid signature using their own address to purchase STY at a 100x discount and bought approximately 687,000 STY with about 19,700 USDT through a PancakeSwap flash loan.Subsequently, they forged claim() and transfer signatures on a brother contract, dumping STY into the STY/USDT pool and profiting approximately 625,000 USDT. Each ecrecover in the transaction was resolved to an exact hardcoded signer, confirming that the key itself had been leaked, rather than a flaw in the signature logic.

Wanchain immediately issued a notice to the attackers, requesting them to return 90% of the stolen NIGHT tokens by August 6 at 12:00 UTC, allowing them to keep 10% as a white hat bounty, and promising not to pursue civil liability.Currently, some community users have pointed out that the hackers have completed the exchange of NIGHT tokens on DEX, and the price of NIGHT tokens has dropped by over 30%, now reported at $0.0188.

According to the latest survey by TrendForce, in June, the top three MLCC suppliers in Japan and South Korea (Murata, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, Taiyo Yuden) achieved a monthly shipment volume that reached a nearly five-year high, with 140 billion, 98 billion, and 40 billion units respectively, and the growth momentum continued into July. AI applications are the main driving force, with CSP manufacturers maintaining strong procurement demand for self-developed ASIC platforms such as Google TPU and AWS Trainium, driving continuous growth in demand for high-capacity, low-voltage, small-sized MLCCs.At the same time, Japanese and South Korean suppliers are accelerating the shift of production capacity from consumer-grade X5R to high-end X6S/X7R specifications, resulting in a severe squeeze on the production capacity of mid-to-high capacity (1µF-22µF) consumer-grade MLCCs, with mainstream inventory days generally falling below 30 days. The overflow effect of production capacity has led channels, agents, and second- and third-tier customers to urgently pull goods, significantly increasing order visibility for Taiwanese and mainland suppliers, leading to rising prices, with agents raising prices by an average of 20-25%, and spot market prices have soared to 2-3 times the original price. TrendForce pointed out that the consumer-grade MLCC market currently shows a structural mismatch of "weak end demand, strong channel pricing."
