Forbes: Trump Media and Technology Group's financial report reveals "significant deficiencies" in internal controls

According to Forbes, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) disclosed in the latest filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that the company had "significant deficiencies" in its internal control over financial reporting, raising concerns among investors about the company's financial transparency and governance structure. TMTG is the parent company of the social platform Truth Social, and has recently attracted much attention due to financial losses and audit issues. It is reported that the audit firm hired by the company, BF Borgers, was accused of "significant fraud" by the U.S. SEC for falsifying audit documents and violating audit standards. In addition, Donald Trump Jr., who served as a director of TMTG, received a salary of $813,000 last year, even though he only attended two of the company's five meetings. At the same time, TMTG announced that its annual sales were only $3.6 million, but it had a net loss of $401 million.

Earlier news said that Trump Media and Technology Group, Crypto.com and Yorkville America Digital have finalized an ETF issuance agreement, and the Hong Kong fund is expected to be launched later this year.

Next week's macro outlook: CPI data may trigger stagflation trading script, BTC may face $100,000 support test

Bitcoin returned above $100,000 this week as Wall Street was cautious at the end of this week's trading day. U.S. stocks and bonds fluctuated as the world's two largest economies prepared to launch trade negotiations, and investors avoided making higher-risk bets. Market optimism continued to put pressure on gold prices. Gold prices fell nearly 4% on Wednesday and Thursday, but rebounded on Friday and rose 2.64% last week. Here are the key points that the market will focus on in the new week:

At 22:25 on Monday, Federal Reserve Board Governor Kugler delivered a speech;

Tuesday 20:30, U.S. April unadjusted CPI annual rate/seasonally adjusted CPI monthly rate/seasonally adjusted core CPI monthly rate/unadjusted core CPI annual rate;

At 05:40 on Thursday, 2027 FOMC voting member and San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly will participate in a fireside chat;

At 20:30 on Thursday, the U.S. retail sales monthly rate in April, the U.S. PPI annual rate/monthly rate in April, and the U.S. New York Fed/Philadelphia Fed manufacturing index in May;

At 20:40 on Thursday, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell delivered an opening speech at an event;

On Thursday, the Federal Reserve held its second Thomas Laubach Research Conference, which will focus on monetary policy and economic research and is expected to provide academic perspectives for the Federal Reserve's five-year monetary policy framework review.

At 22:00 on Friday, the preliminary value of the US one-year inflation rate forecast for May and the preliminary value of the US University of Michigan Consumer Confidence Index for May will be released.

The Fed's voice this week was not dovish. More than half of the Fed's policymakers gave public speeches on Friday, and no policymaker said the Fed was close to cutting interest rates. Next week's economic data will provide an important perspective. The US CPI for April, released on Tuesday, will provide a new interpretation of inflation trends, while the April retail sales data released on Thursday will be the latest window into consumer spending. The US CPI for April is expected to confirm that price pressures are still too high and there is no reason to cut interest rates for the time being. Although the US dollar index has risen in the short term, it is still facing selling pressure due to the risk of stagflation caused by continued tariffs. In addition, the impact of macro data on Bitcoin prices and whether Bitcoin can consolidate the $100,000 price support range are also worth paying attention to.

BlackRock Bitcoin ETF has seen net inflows for 20 consecutive days, setting a record for the longest inflow this year, with Goldman Sachs' IBIT holdings increasing by 28% in Q1

BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF IBIT has seen 20 consecutive days of net inflows, the longest streak of inflows among spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2025, attracting more than $5 billion in funds during this period. As Bitcoin prices rise, the net asset value of U.S. spot Bitcoin funds has exceeded $121 billion, the highest level since January this year.

Goldman Sachs is currently the world's largest known holder of IBIT. Goldman Sachs holds 30.8 million shares of IBIT, worth about $1.4 billion, a 28% increase from its holdings at the beginning of the first quarter of 2025. The company also holds 3.5 million shares of FBTC, the second largest spot Bitcoin ETF in the market by assets under management, worth about $315 million. Filing documents show that the company increased its holdings by about 30,000 shares in the first quarter of 2025.

U.S. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins will deliver a keynote speech on asset tokenization on the 12th

Paul Atkins, Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, will deliver a keynote speech on asset tokenization on the 12th. On the same day, the U.S. SEC will hold a roundtable meeting on the theme of "Tokenization: Assets on the Chain - The Intersection of Traditional Finance and Decentralized Finance". Participants include SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins, Director of the Crypto Working Group Office Richard B. Gabbert, Commissioner Hester Peirce, as well as Cynthia Lo Bessette (Fidelity), Eun Ah Choi (Nasdaq), Will Geyer (Invesco), etc.

CryptoQuant CEO: Strategy purchases faster than Bitcoin mining and gains deflationary advantage

Ki Young Ju, founder and CEO of CryptoQuant, posted on the X platform that Bitcoin is deflationary. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has been buying Bitcoin faster than Bitcoin mining. They hold about 555,000 Bitcoins and are in an illiquid state with no plans to sell. This means that Strategy's Bitcoin holdings can obtain an annual deflation rate of -2.23%. The deflation rate of Bitcoin held by other stable institutional holders may be higher.

Opinion: Altcoins break out of negative trend, investors are changing their views on cryptocurrencies

After the successful implementation of Ethereum Pectra upgrade, ETH has risen by more than 30% in a single week, while other altcoins SOL, ADA, XRP and BNB have also gained 2-6%.

Nick Ruck, director of LVRG Research, said traders believe that the cryptocurrency industry may have finally found a second chance to hedge against market uncertainty, and investors are changing their views on cryptocurrencies as altcoins have broken away from negative trends and found a new round of risk appetite bringing buying pressure. However, traders are still closely watching this weekend's Sino-US trade negotiations, which will begin in Switzerland later on Saturday, and any signs of a stalemate or renewed escalation of tensions could weaken the current rally.

1confirmation founder: BTC and ETH can become the Internet's native value storage in the future

Nick Tomaino, founder of 1confirmation, said in a post on the X platform that BTC is the first cryptocurrency that serves the people. The grassroots spirit and belief from the bottom up have made it from scratch, and its market value has soared to more than 2 trillion US dollars. The value storage based on trust in mathematics rather than people is changing the world, but BTC has now become the preferred institutional asset for large companies and governments. One entity owns more than 2.5% of BTC shares. Currently, no practical applications have been developed on Bitcoin to attract new users. In addition to value storage, there is no use case to expand market share.

ETH is a trusted and neutral Internet-native value storage tool that supports a developer platform that covers stablecoins, decentralized finance, NFTs, prediction markets, decentralized social, decentralized identity, etc. All new use cases that have driven the development of this field in the past decade have appeared on Ethereum and are constantly developing. These use cases have attracted new users, distributed ETH as a value storage tool, and increased the scarcity of ETH.

Some people think there will only be one trusted, neutral, internet-native store of value in the future. They are dead wrong. There may be many, but there are only two viable options at the moment: BTC and ETH.

Skybridge Capital founder: Sovereign wealth funds' large-scale purchase of Bitcoin still needs to wait for clear US legislation

Anthony Scaramucci, founder of Skybridge Capital, said in a recent podcast interview that although some sovereign wealth funds have allocated Bitcoin on the margin, it is difficult to see large-scale capital inflows before the United States introduces clear digital asset regulations. He pointed out that if the United States passes a stablecoin regulatory bill, allows traditional banks to custody Bitcoin, and makes progress in the tokenization of stocks and bonds, it may trigger a wave of sovereign wealth funds buying large amounts of Bitcoin. Anthony Scaramucci emphasized that only when sovereign wealth funds regard Bitcoin as part of the global financial infrastructure can the price of Bitcoin be pushed to the million-dollar level.

BSV investors attempt to reopen 2019 lawsuit against Binance

Bitcoin SV (BSV) investors are trying to reopen a 2019 lawsuit against Binance, alleging that Binance's delisting of BSV caused its price to fall over the long term. The plaintiffs' lawyers argue that a July 2024 ruling by the UK Competition Appeal Tribunal that dismissed a claim for "loss of opportunity" against Binance for delisting the token should be reconsidered. The plaintiffs sought $9 billion in damages in the original case, and if the lawsuit is reopened, the plaintiffs are seeking up to 10 billion pounds (GBP), or about $13 billion.

In April 2019, Binance announced that BSV failed to meet its listing criteria due to the actions of BSV founder Craig Wright, who is notorious in the cryptocurrency world for falsely claiming to be Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto. Subsequently, Binance delisted BSV.

Can Tokenization Unlock Sustainable Water? Hypercube, WaterLab, and Algorand Bet Big

Can Tokenization Unlock Sustainable Water? Hypercube, WaterLab, and Algorand Bet Big

The world is facing a water crisis that is expected to have a major impact on humanity in the coming years. A report from the United Nations predicts that by 2030, global demand for water will exceed sustainable supply by 40 percent. The World Economic Forum further not es that terrestrial water storage decreased by almost 1.3 trillion tonnes between 2005 and 2015. Blockchain For Solving Water Shortages While it’s frightening to think that a water shortage may soon devastate the world, blockchain technology and cryptocurrency are being leveraged to solve some of these challenges. Pietro Gorgazzini, managing director at Hypercube, told Cryptonews that with sufficient funds, virtually any region in the world could extract enough water from alternative sources to solve water scarcity. “Over 70 percent of our planet is covered by water, so the common misconception is we have plenty, but only 2.5 percent of this is freshwater, and only a fraction of that is considered sustainable and renewable, therefore useful for human survival,” Gorgazzini said. “Hypercube is on a mission to prove that drinking water can be found from wastewater, the sea, the air, and even high depths.” Gorgazzini elaborated that Hypercube has created a global water credit system to demonstrate how water can be used from alternative sources. “Hypercube selects virtuous water facilities worldwide and conducts both remote and on-site audits through appointed third parties, making sure they fully comply with water credit protocol to qualify as originators,” he said. “We then connect flowmeters to our system through APIs, registering each cubic meter of water being reclaimed along with all relevant data on the Algorand blockchain, which serves as a public and immutable registry.” The transparency that blockchain provides allows all parties to have access to the data generated by participating water facilities. In addition, for each cubic meter of water recorded, a “WTR token” worth an equivalent water credit is issued. 💧 Tokenized Water Credits on Algorand! Indaqua, one of Portugal’s leading water and wastewater management providers, is pioneering tokenized water credits on Algorand in collaboration with Hypercube and its @wtrtoken (WRT). Wastewater is being converted into tokenized WRT… pic.twitter.com/PPOBQEB2V9 — Algorand Foundation (@AlgoFoundation) March 31, 2025 “Water-intensive companies can purchase WTR tokens and retire them—returning them irreversibly to redeem the equivalent water offset for their ESG reports,” Gorgazzini noted. Funds from each transaction are also used to reward water facilitators of the underlying reclaimed cubic meters. Gorgazzini explained that these funds can be used to cover the cost of infrastructure, including audits, and fund new water initiatives in regions and communities that need it the most. Although Hypercube was launched in April 2024, the company has already tokenized over 50 million cubic meters of reclaimed water. Gorgazzini hopes Hypercube will hit 100 million cubic meters by the end of the year. “We’ve successfully onboarded some of the largest international NGOs, leading auditing companies, consulting firms, and all the relevant stakeholders needed to ensure global endorsement,” Gorgazzini shared. He added that the most important achievement to date has been the current initiatives that wouldn’t have been possible without tokenization . “For example, Hypercube enabled the full revamping of a wastewater reuse facility in northern Italy, which now processes over 7 million cubic meters per year,” he said. Tokenization For Profitable Water Production A project known as WaterLab is also using tokenization to generate freshwater by funding the deployment of water desalination systems. Aaron Mandell, founder and CEO of WaterLab, told Cryptonews that he believes water is actually a limitless resource, yet most of it needs to be refined—or desalinated —before use. Unfortunately, water desalination is often challenging and costly. In order to combat this, Mandell explained that WaterLab issues a tokenized water credit to fund the costs of desalination. “We finance the desalination system by selling water credits, which are tokenized water contracts,” he said. “Each token is a contract for one unit of water (1 token = 1 m3). Water credits are generated by producers of water or desalination plants, which WaterLAB then tokenizes and sells to water holders.” saltwater is unlimited – as soon as we harness desalination there will be no one without water. https://t.co/eroG9YgrO8 — WaterLAB (@_WaterDAO) July 25, 2025 Mandell elaborated that water holders can be described as people who want to buy water purely as a financial hedge (like an oil future) or those who ultimately want to redeem their contract for the delivery of physical water. WaterLab has currently deployed water desalination systems in the US, Nicaragua and in the Bahamas, where additional water is needed or there is limited infrastructure. WaterLab Water Miner. Source: WaterLab “We have enough desalination capacity currently in operation to produce 1 million units of water (1M m3), which makes up the current supply of credits. We are also funding desalination research to further advance the technology,” Mandell remarked. Crypto Donations For New Water Campaign While blockchain and tokenization are solving water production challenges, crypto donations are currently being raised to bring clean water to 2 million people across five continents. A creator-led fundraising campaign known as “TeamWater” was launched on August 1 and will run through the entire month of August. The campaign’s goal is to raise $40 million in just one month to fund long-term, community-driven water solutions. TeamWater just crossed the $10,000,000 mark!!! We’re now 25% of the way to the goal of giving 2,000,000 people clean water for decades each 🥰🥰 GO DONATE – https://t.co/ECmQ6pJq7o pic.twitter.com/N6XcdDJuXq — MrBeast (@MrBeast) August 6, 2025 Crypto donation platform The Giving Block is the official crypto partner behind TeamWater. Pat Duffy, co-founder of The Giving Block, told Cryptonews that as of August 4, the campaign had already raised over $2.7 million in crypto donations alone. “This represents an impressive 40 percent of the total donation amount received so far. The crypto community is showing up in a big way to help drive this movement forward,” Duffy said. Web3 Models Have Potential, But Challenges Remain Although there is potential for blockchain and cryptocurrency to help solve the water crisis, a number of challenges may slow progress. According to Gorgazzini, the biggest challenge from a business development perspective is that many traditional industries remain skeptical of Web3 models . “Just mentioning blockchain can trigger concerns,” he said. In order to overcome this, Gorgazzini believes that education is key. “We need to engage with stakeholders and policy makers early on.” Mandell added that while the Web3 community is passionate about solving environmental issues related to water, many of these individuals remain well-versed in cryptocurrency, but not blockchain models. “This also needs to change in order for the market to grow,” he said. “Web3 will be most impactful when it becomes entirely invisible—when individuals can buy water assets without realizing the profit is related to tokenization.”

Core Scientific’s Largest Active Shareholder to Vote Against CoreWeave Acquisition

Core Scientific’s Largest Active Shareholder to Vote Against CoreWeave Acquisition

Key Takeaways: Two Seas Capital opposes CoreWeave’s proposed acquisition of Core Scientific, citing valuation and deal structure concerns. The deal’s all-stock nature raises broader questions about shareholder protections amid volatile AI infrastructure valuations. Institutional investor resistance may indicate shifting expectations for governance and transparency in high-growth infrastructure sectors. Two Seas Capital, which holds a 6.3% stake in the Bitcoin miner Core Scientific, said it will vote against the company’s proposed acquisition by CoreWeave, according to an open letter published by the firm. The letter, addressed to fellow shareholders, argues that the all-stock deal undervalues Core Scientific and leaves investors vulnerable to price fluctuations in CoreWeave’s shares. Objection Raised by Two Seas Capital The firm described the transaction structure as “deficient” and said it believes the deal unfairly favors CoreWeave at the expense of Core Scientific shareholders. “We are not philosophically opposed to a merger of these two parties,” wrote Sina Toussi, founder and CIO of Two Seas Capital. “We are also investors in CoreWeave, believe in its strategy, and respect its management team. Moreover, we have advocated for this combination as we clearly recognize the strategic merits,” said Toussi. Today’s $CORZ daily self-mined #Bitcoin for the last reported 24-hour period (07-Aug-2025): 5.0 pic.twitter.com/iovpt4vDOh — Core Scientific (@Core_Scientific) August 8, 2025 Two Seas said it supports Core Scientific’s long-term strategy as an operator of high-performance computing infrastructure and expressed confidence in the company’s ability to grow independently. It cited rising demand for computing power driven by AI applications as a key factor in its decision. While Two Seas also holds an investment in CoreWeave and acknowledges the strategic rationale behind a merger, it called on Core Scientific’s board to secure terms that encapsulate the company’s full value, including potential synergies. Alleged Undervaluation of Core Scientific The letter said Two Seas plans to solicit other shareholders to vote against the current terms unless revisions are made. “We believe the Company’s most promising days lie ahead,” the letter said. “In our view, there is no compelling reason to sell Core Scientific at an underwhelming valuation with a deficient structure.” Some institutional investors are questioning all-stock mergers involving infrastructure firms tied to AI, especially when deal structures expose shareholders to post-closing price swings. These concerns often focus on whether equity-only transactions provide sufficient protection or value in volatile markets. The Core Scientific case also points to ongoing debate around how much future demand for compute infrastructure should factor into deal pricing. As competition increases and asset valuations shift, shareholder votes may become a more active checkpoint in determining the direction of consolidation in this sector.

WNBA Games Disrupted by Meme Coin Crypto Protest Over ‘Toxic’ Culture

WNBA Games Disrupted by Meme Coin Crypto Protest Over ‘Toxic’ Culture

A crypto memecoin group has taken responsibility for throwing sex toys onto the court at multiple WNBA games over the past week, a new report from USA Today claims. Crypto Memecoin Collective Behind WNBA Sex Toy Incidents According to the August 8 report, an anonymous spokesperson for the memecoin collective —identified only by the X account @Daldo_Raine—told the outlet that the intention behind the stunts is to protest the crypto sector’s “toxic” environment. The report notes that the group created Green Dildo Coin as a joke last month, as small players in the crypto industry continue to face headwinds from bad actors in the digital assets space. The coin launched on July 28, just one day before the first incident occurred at an Atlanta Dream game at Georgia’s Gateway Center Arena on July 29. Two people have been arrested for throwing sex toys onto WNBA courts. Still, the group’s spokesperson told USA Today that their goal is not to disrespect or degrade female athletes. Sex Toy Stunts Face Backlash The incidents have sparked renewed discourse around the perception of women’s sports and the treatment of female athletes, particularly in the WNBA. It’s a stretch to argue targeting the WNBA wasn’t strategic and intentional with these recent sex toy-related incidents. Making a sex toy the focal point of games in a league that has perhaps the most openly gay and queer players doesn’t seem like an accident. pic.twitter.com/q8IbfFISor — The Athletic (@TheAthletic) August 7, 2025 “These women are still the subject of an occasional punchline,” The Athletic ’s women’s basketball managing editor Shannon Ryan wrote in an August 7 article. “While players are negotiating for higher salaries, they’re still fighting for their reputations to be respected as elite professional athletes.” “They have now had to be graceful and coolly navigate being unfairly thrust into an obscene moment,” she added. “Everyone’s trying to make sure the W’s not a joke and it’s taken seriously, and then that happens,” WNBA player Sophie Cunningham said on a recent episode of her “ Show Me Something ” podcast. “I’m like, how are we ever going to get taken seriously?”
