Nvidia Q2 Earnings in 14 Days: What to Expect from NVDA Stock?

Nvidia reports Q2 earnings on August 26, and Wall Street already knows the headline number. Analysts expect about $92 billion in revenue and earnings per share of $2.08, double the year-ago figure.

Japan Escaped a 30-Year Economic Slump, But Crypto Could Pay the Price

Japans economy is finally growing again after 30 lost years, JPMorgan Asset Management strategist David Lebovitz says. The escape from the Lost Decades is real, and crypto may end up paying for it.  The Lost Decades were Japans long slump after its 1990 bubble burst, when prices fell and rates stayed near zero. That cheap money quietly funded risk bets around the world, including crypto.

The Bank of Japan (BOJ) held rates near zero from 1999. It even went negative in 2016 and stayed there until 2024.  That made the yen the cheapest money on Earth. Investors borrowed it for almost nothing and bought assets that paid more, from US bonds to tech stocks. Traders call this the yen carry trade.  Crypto grew up inside that easy-money era.

Former Ripple Partner Deepens Solana Ties

MoneyGram is bringing its global cash network directly into the Solana ecosystem, launching MoneyGram Ramps on the blockchain and giving wallets, exchanges and other applications a new way to connect digital assets with physical cash.  The rollout puts MoneyGrams established payments infrastructure behind a single integration designed for Solana applications. According to MoneyGram, developers can use its rails to enable cash deposits in more than 25 countries and cash withdrawals across more than 170 countries and territories, while MoneyGram handles identity verification, compliance, settlement and fiat payouts.  MoneyGram acts a bridge between blockchain-based assets and the traditional cash economy.  The first Solana wallet to integrate the service is Rift, according to MoneyGrams announcement.  The move is significant because of MoneyGrams unusual history in blockchain payments. The company was once one of Ripples most prominent commercial partners, later became a major participant in Stellars stablecoin ecosystem, and is now expanding its infrastructure onto Solana.  From Ripple to Stellar  MoneyGrams blockchain story began well before its arrival on Solana.  In January 2018, MoneyGram and Ripple announced an agreement to pilot XRP in MoneyGrams payment flows. The companies said they would explore using Ripples xRapid system for on-demand liquidity, with XRP serving as the bridge asset between currencies.  The relationship became

SEC clears Franklin Templeton funds to use onchain BENJI system for cash management

Quick TakeFranklin Templeton received a no-action letter from the SEC enabling its traditional registered funds to invest in its blockchain-based BENJI fund for cash management.The SEC said it would allow the traditional funds to hold those shares without having to meet certain physical-vault requirements.  The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission‘s Division of Investment Management has issued a no-action letter to Franklin Templeton, clearing the way for the firm’s traditional registered funds to invest in its blockchain-based OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund.  In the letter, posted Wednesday, the SEC cites Section 17(f) and Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, enabling registered funds to hold shares of the onchain money market fund for cash management without meeting certain physical-vault requirements.  “Essentially, it opens the door for Franklins registered funds (mutual funds, ETFs, etc) to hold its OnChain fund despite not technically satisfying 1940 Act custody rules,” Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart said on X.  The decision effectively lets conventional Franklin funds access some of the operational advantages of its OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund (FOBXX), often called BENJI, including faster transaction processing and more frequent pricing updates.  Franklin‘s onchain fund relies on an integrated record-keeping system that combines internal book-entry data with transaction records on

'Inner Thoughts' of Every Major AI Model Exposed in Massive Exploit

In briefA team or researchers found that Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google all use a single global encryption key for AI reasoning tokens.By decoding 315,320 reasoning blocks scraped from public GitHub and Hugging Face repositories, the researchers recovered 182 credentials, including 62 live API keys, 33 passwords, and 30 personal email addresses.OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google deployed server-side patches after responsible disclosure, but historical session logs already shared publicly remain decodable.  Security researchers have found a way to read the encrypted “inner thoughts” of every major AI reasoning model—and uncovered 62 live API keys and 33 passwords buried in session logs that developers had shared publicly online without knowing what was inside them.  “By decoding 315,320 reasoning blocks scraped from public repositories, we recovered 367 Personally Identifiable Information (PII) artifacts and 182 credentials,” the researchers wrote.  The paper, submitted August 10 by a team from MATS Research, the ELLIS Institute Tübingen, the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, and security firm Snyk, targets a specific class of AI: reasoning models. These are models that dont just answer immediately and instead start with an internal chain-of-thought (a step-by-step scratchpad where the AI works through a problem before showing you the answer), then deliver a final response.

Chinas DeepSeek Upgrades V4 Pro: Claude Fable Is Only 5% Better at 4,500% the Price

In briefDeepSeek quietly swapped deepseek-v4-pro to the 0813 build, the general-availability release of a model that had been running as a preview since April.Across nine agent benchmarks where both models are scored, DeepSeeks table puts Claude Fable 5 ahead by an average of 5.3%. On two of them, DeepSeek wins.Fable 5 costs $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output. V4 Pro costs $0.435 and $0.87.  DeepSeek shipped the finished version of its flagship on Wednesday with no blog post and no announcement. The tell was a table cell: the model version listed for “deepseek-v4-pro” on the API pricing page now reads DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813.  The cost to use this model is around $0.435 and $0.87 per million tokens (the basic unit of information a model can handle) of input and output. So the pricing structure remains the same, but what changed is the weights underneath.  Deepseek V4 Pro has been in the wild since April, priced 98% below GPT-5 Pro, and every independent lab that tested it was testing a preview. DeepSeek said so itself on July 31, when it pushed V4-Flash to general availability and noted that the Pro API was “unchanged” with the official release to “follow soon.” The model

SpaceXAI Wants Grok Bot to Do Your Job—But It Needs Access to Your Accounts

In briefGrok Bot completes tasks across apps, websites, and inboxes.According to SpaceXAI, multiple bots can communicate, share context, and divide work.The service requires access to workplace accounts and potentially sensitive company data.  Elon Musks SpaceXAI is joining the race to build AI agents that can navigate software and complete work for users.  Launched on Tuesday for Windows and iOS, Grok Bot operates through a cloud-based computer that allows it to sign into workplace tools, navigate websites, and manage email inboxes. According to SpaceXAI, users can assign tasks in plain English rather than building automated workflows, leaving Grok Bot to handle the rest.  “They finish jobs end to end, and only come back when something needs your approval,” SpaceXAI said in a statement.  Grok Bot is part of a shift in the AI industry toward “agentic AI”—bots that can perform tasks for users instead of just generating text or answering questions. SpaceXAI is joining a field already dominated by projects like OpenClaw and Hermes Agent, while OpenAI, Meta, and Anthropic are investing heavily in making their respective chatbots more autonomous.  Watching, learning, and delegating  According to SpaceXAI, users can run multiple bots that coordinate tasks, share context, with one bot overseeing the other agents.  “You can message them
