PolkaWorld: Polkadot should not spend money on ineffective advertising and exposure
Polkadot Chinese community PolkaWorld posted on X that PolkaWorld opposed most of the so-called proposals to increase Polkadots exposure during its time as a DV in the first half of the year. Polkadot currently does not lack so-called advertising exposure, and money should not be spent on advertising exposure that does not have any conversion. Any advertising and exposure should be based on the product, otherwise it will be invalid exposure and invalid expenditure.
PolkaWorld added that there is an essential problem that has not been solved in the Polkadot ecosystem at present – how to fight against whales? Especially when the intentions of whales are inconsistent with the interests of the entire community, what can the community do… Why can a proposal worth millions of dollars without any detailed description, transparent budget and financial report be passed despite the strong opposition of the community? Why does a proposal that applies for tens of thousands of dollars and is very helpful to the community have to be opposed by tens of millions? In the past six months, how many drama proposals have been passed on Polkadot?
Currently, what the Polkadot community needs most is: 1. Empower teams that have already built great products, give them liquidity incentives, and attract users to use these great products; 2. Continuously cultivate and discover new teams, new products, and new applications; 3. Only when a user-friendly unicorn application comes out can it attract a large number of users to the Polkadot ecosystem and stay in the Polkadot ecosystem.
Fed Chairman Powell said the labor market remains strong, but considerable progress has been made in inflation, and the path of inflation decline is back on track. At the same time, Powell said that if the labor market unexpectedly weakens, this will also prompt us to take action. But he declined to comment on whether this means a rate cut in September. He said the Fed has the ability to take the time to make the right decision (rate cuts), although he is well aware of the risks of acting too slowly and too late. (Jinshi)

According to market sources, Robinhood is considering launching cryptocurrency futures in the United States and Europe.
Lower network fees and reduced Bitcoin mining rewards are increasing the risk of miners being forced to sell their Bitcoin holdings, according to a report from Kaiko Research.
Previous halving events have put mining companies under pressure to reduce revenue. With expenses such as energy, wages and rent remaining basically unchanged, the profits generated by mining have declined, and the reduction in network fees has further reduced revenue. Data shows that the average Bitcoin network fee has dropped from around $45 in January to between $3 and $5.
Marathon Digital, one of the leading Bitcoin mining companies, sold 390 BTC in May and plans to sell more holdings to manage its finances. According to Kaiko, the risk of miners being forced to sell Bitcoin may continue in the coming months.
The company also said that the revenue crunch will lead miners to seek mergers to integrate assets and improve efficiencies. Consolidation is expected to continue as the impact of the halving reverberates across the industry.
For example, Riot Platforms Inc. attempted to acquire Bitfarms Ltd., and CleanSpark Inc. agreed last month to acquire Griid Infrastructure Inc. in an all-stock deal worth $155 million. (Bloomberg)

Regulatory trends
Circle officially stated in a post on X that ultimately, a coordinated approach between the United States, the European Union and other major jurisdictions will be crucial to pave the way for future regulatory recognition and ensure that the emerging Internet financial system is built on rules. In addition, according to an article on the Bretton Woods Committee blog, stablecoins that do not comply with MiCA regulations will disappear from the EU market in the short to medium term. Circle previously became the first global stablecoin issuer to be licensed in the European Union. Patrick Hansen, Circles EU Strategy and Policy Director, and Dante Disparte, Chief Strategy Officer, said that with the entry into force of the MiCA provisions, there is reason to expect changes in the coming year. In short, MiCA is to crypto assets as GDPR is to privacy data.
Character Voice
In response to the controversial news that Polkadot Treasury spent $87 million in half a year, Manta Network co-founder Victor Ji said in a post: As the founder of the project with the largest TVL and market value/fully diluted market value (non-DOT) in the former Polkadot ecosystem, I have to say that we have absolutely no desire to engage with the Polkadot ecosystem and its team anymore.
This ecosystem is highly toxic, adds no real value to Web3, and has no focus on users or adoption. We are too busy to shine a light on the discrimination we as Asian founders experience in this ecosystem (a sentiment shared by all Asian founders).”
Jeffrey Kendrick, head of foreign exchange and digital asset research at Standard Chartered Bank, said that Bitcoin prices are likely to hit new highs in August and will exceed $100,000 by the US election day. Kendricks prediction depends on whether Joe Biden continues to participate in the US presidential election – a situation that the market believes favors Trumps victory. Standard Chartered analysts believe that Trump is positive for Bitcoin and pointed out that the former presidents chances of being elected are positively correlated with Bitcoin prices. The logic here is that under Trumps leadership, both regulation and mining will be treated more favorably, Kendrick added. (TheBlock)

Vitalik: Prediction markets and Community Notes are actually very complementary
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin wrote that he actually believes that prediction markets and community notes are very complementary. The biggest criticism of community notes at the moment is that notes appear too slowly, and prediction markets incentivize people to predict signals that will appear later and reveal them as quickly as possible.

The value flow within the Layer 2 ecosystem often changes with the expected trend of airdrops. With the successive issuance of tokens by Layer 2 projects such as Starknet and Manta, the enthusiasm for interaction within the community has gradually shifted to other Layer 2 networks that have not yet issued tokens. Among many potential options, Scroll has become one of the main Layer 2 platforms for receiving traffic and capital transfers, with tens of millions of dollars of financing endorsement and multiple selections by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik . Defillama data shows that Scrolls total locked value (TVL) has maintained a fairly good net inflow trend in the past few months, and has now grown to about 87 million US dollars. At present, most users who have just entered the…
