At 2:00 a.m. Beijing time on July 30, the Federal Reserves interest rate decision was announced: the Fed kept rates unchanged at 3.50%–3.75%, marking the fifth consecutive meeting this year in which it has held rates steady. Starting from July 2023, when the Federal Reserve completed 11 rate hikes and raised interest rates from near-zero levels to 5.25%–5.50%, the Fed has maintained a high-rate environment for 36 months. Historically, during the previous tightening cycle (2004–2006), the Feds peak interest rate level lasted only around 24 months before the 2008 financial crisis erupted. Todays interest rate curve shows striking similarities to the period before the 2008 crisis, as illustrated in the chart below: Federal Reserve Interest Rates Since the 21st Century (Source: Macromicro) Among the 15 major financial crises over the past century, 12 occurred within one year after the Federal Reserve entered a rate-hiking cycle. The current high-interest-rate environment has already lasted 36 months, far exceeding the historical 18-month critical cycle, meaning delayed impacts have been accumulating for a long time. Now, as the “canary in the coal mine” of global financial markets, South Koreas stock market has triggered full-market circuit breakers nine times this year. In July alone, it plunged approximately 33%, marking the

On July 23, BitMEX, the pioneer of perpetual contracts, announced that it would officially shut down operations on September 23. On July 26, BitMart, once ranked among the worlds top 10 cryptocurrency exchanges, announced that it would officially cease platform operations on January 31, 2027. Neither of these exchanges was an unknown small-scale platform. One had been operating for 11 years, while the other had been in operation for 8 years. Both were veteran exchanges that grew alongside the explosive expansion of the cryptocurrency industry and could be considered witnesses to the evolution of the crypto market. However, before BitMEX and BitMart announced their shutdowns, warning signs and risk forecasts had already emerged in the market. For example, WikiBit, a global cryptocurrency exchange regulatory verification and risk assessment platform, had already assigned relatively low risk scores to both exchanges: 5.48 for BitMEX and 5.16 for BitMart. Within a short period, both exchanges accumulated multiple risk alerts — 3 risk indicators for BitMEX and 6 for BitMart — including user complaints, significant increases in capital outflows, and cryptocurrency regulatory concerns. BitMEX and BitMart Risk Data (Source: WikiBit) Regardless of the reasons, the collapse of two relatively large exchanges within just one week has sent a chilling message throughout

Recent public filings from Companies House in the UK show Nvidias investment arm, NVentures, put about $196 million (£145 million) into Revolut last year. The filing indicates NVentures owns roughly 141,834 shares. With that funding, Revolut held onto its $75 billion price tag, which puts it among the most highly valued privately held tech companies in Europe. The valuation happened during a secondary sale of Revolut shares in 2025. Most of this funding came from a secondary sale, meaning it wasnt Revolut raising fresh capital for day-to-day business. Instead, current shareholders and staff sold off some of their own stakes. A number of big-name investors also joined in, such as Coatue, Greenoaks, Dragoneer, Fidelity, Andreessen Horowitz, Franklin Templeton, and T. Rowe Price. Revoluts Crypto Ambitions While Nvidia has not publicly disclosed any investment explicitly linked to crypto, this transaction nonetheless could strengthen Revoluts position in Europes regulated digital asset market in a few ways. For instance, it gives Revolut greater institutional credibility. Having established deep-pocketed backers and a clear history of good decision-making tends to make a company look more appealing to other institutional investors. That extra credibility can go a long way. Revolut already had some notable backers, and now with NVentures on board, the
