EvilTokens reportedly used AI-driven tactics to expand the reach of its phishing operations. The case also underscores the growing role of crypto tracing in tracking illicit financial activity.

🔥 News: @Ethereum co-founder @VitalikButerin outlined a broader vision for Ethereum during the 2026 Shanghai Blockchain International Week. He described the network as evolving beyond a blockchain designed to execute everything directly, toward a global system centered on computation, privacy, and verification. The shift reflects a wider approach to how Ethereum could support applications and infrastructure beyond its base layer.

JUST IN: @XamanWallet is seeing rapid user growth, with its active user base reportedly reaching around 735,000, up 45.8% from the previous period. The surge is also putting infrastructure pressure on some $XRP Ledger nodes, as each new account requires onchain activation and a 1 XRP base reserve. With certain nodes approaching capacity, a solution is reportedly being prepared to ease the strain. Built by XRPL Labs, Xaman supports users across both the XRP Ledger and Xahau ecosystems.

NEWS: @ElonMusk has criticized what he describes as the left’s approach to crime and justice, arguing that too much empathy is directed toward offenders rather than victims.

NEWS: President Donald Trump disclosed purchases of @Strategy shares worth $50,001 to $100,000 on July 27, following another $1,001 to $15,000 purchase three days earlier, according to a U.S. Office of Government Ethics filing.

NEWS: Fidelity’s FBTC recorded $143.24 million in net inflows, adding to renewed institutional demand for Bitcoin through U.S. spot ETFs. The latest inflow comes as Bitcoin ETFs continue to attract substantial capital, with major funds seeing a broader resurgence in demand this week. The buying highlights continued institutional exposure to Bitcoin as the market recovers and ETF activity accelerates.

JUST IN: According to @Arkham data, @Tesla has held around 11,509 $BTC for roughly four years without moving the coins. Bitcoin’s recent rally has reportedly increased the value of Tesla’s holdings by about $123 million, bringing the portfolio close to the $1 billion mark.

UPDATE: @AnthropicAI says its Opus 5.5 model outperformed GPT-5.6 Sol on a coding benchmark while running at roughly one-third of the cost. The result adds another data point to the increasingly competitive AI model race, where coding performance and inference efficiency are becoming just as important as raw capability. Lower operating costs combined with stronger benchmark results could make efficiency a major factor in how developers evaluate the next generation of AI models.

JUST IN: Are ETFs doing ALL the buying? Spot $BITCOIN ETFs pulled in roughly $1.6 BILLION across three trading sessions, while analysts see $90,000 as Bitcoin’s next key test, according to the @WSJ. @BernardoBrites, CEO of @TraceFinance, points to another part of the equation: stablecoin supply isn’t growing alongside ETF demand. If ETF flows remain the main engine behind the move, the rally could be more vulnerable to shifts in that demand. The bigger test now is whether broader crypto liquidity starts joining the rally — not simply whether Bitcoin reaches $90,000.
