Analysis: BTC marks the third time in history of significant underperformance relative to the Nasdaq, with both prior instances seeing strong, independent rallies.
Analyst Rekt Fencer has published a 3-day ratio chart of Bitcoin (BTC) and the Nasdaq, marking three major drawdowns: roughly -84.9% in 2018, -80.7% in 2022, and the current -54.3% in 2026. The analyst pointed out that after Bitcoin underperformed the Nasdaq by such wide margins in the prior two instances, it went on to post very strong independent rallies, with prices surging sharply thereafter. With the current ratio dropping significantly again, history may repeat for the third time: the bottom is approaching, and BTC will regain strength going forward.

Reports say Doubao 2.2 has been delayed: ByteDance catches up on coding, recruitment explicitly names Claude Code and Codex
Beating AI Insight News Brief: ByteDance’s originally planned August launch of Doubao 2.2 has been delayed. The company will allocate more training time to focus on strengthening coding, tool calling, and agent capabilities. This year, one of Seed’s core goals is to elevate its coding models to the top tier. Internally, the team aims to achieve performance on par with GLM-5.2 and Kimi-K3 by the end of the year, to earn genuine developer recognition for ByteDance’s coding models. In August, Seed underwent a major restructuring: teams originally segmented by text, speech, code, and vision were reorganized into four departments: Pretrain Data, Horizon RL, Product Posttrain-Work, and Product Posttrain-Chat. Horizon RL will handle coding post-training, while the Work team will focus on tool calling, GUI operations, and long-task execution. ByteDance has recently been intensively recruiting for these areas: its official website is hiring Code Agents, general Agents, and reinforcement learning algorithm engineers. One Multi-Agent Harness position explicitly requires research on Coding Agents such as Claude Code and Codex, plus building multi-agent and reinforcement learning environments capable of sustained long runs. When Seed 2.1 launched in June, it already highlighted coding, but ByteDance clearly deemed it inadequate. This time, Doubao 2.2 will delay its launch to first refine its coding capabilities to a more robust standard.

Combined revenue of the world's top five NAND manufacturers reached $68.87 billion in Q2, surging 77% quarter-on-quarter, as Micron overtook Kioxia to claim the third spot.
TrendForce released data showing that in Q2 2026, the combined revenue of the world’s top five NAND flash manufacturers reached $68.87 billion, up 77% quarter-on-quarter, driven mainly by surging enterprise SSD demand fueled by AI servers and higher contract prices. Samsung Electronics reported revenue of $23.06 billion, up 70.7% quarter-on-quarter, retaining the top spot, though its market share fell from 31.6% to 29.3% as competitors grew faster. SK Hynix posted revenue of $14.27 billion, up 89.5% quarter-on-quarter, holding second place. Expansion of its 321-layer process and growing demand for high-capacity QLC enterprise SSDs lifted its market share from 17.6% to 18.2%. Micron, with a 99.2% revenue growth rate—the fastest among the top five—generated $11.85 billion in revenue, its market share rising from 13.9% to 15.1% as it overtook Kioxia to claim third place. Kioxia’s revenue stood at $10.72 billion, up 79.9% quarter-on-quarter, with its market share slightly dipping to 13.6%. Sandisk saw revenue growth of only 50.7%, the slowest among the top five, and its market share dropped from 13.9% to 11.4%. TrendForce projected that enterprise SSD demand for AI servers will remain robust in Q3, while major NAND manufacturers are concentrating investments on DRAM and HBM, resulting in limited new NAND supply. The upward price trend is expected to continue driving further growth in the industry’s overall revenue.

A Shanghai court in China has analyzed the determination of criminal liability in virtual currency-related "traffic diversion" telecom fraud cases, finding that the relevant acts may constitute an accomplice to fraud or the crime of illegal use of information networks.
The Shanghai Intermediate People's Court of China has released a typical judicial case, analyzing the determination of whether "referral personnel" in telecom and online fraud cases involving virtual currencies constitute accomplices to fraud. From February 2022 to April 2023, the defendants, seeking illicit profits, assisted upstream fraud crimes in referral activities—using virtual phone software to lure victims into joining fraud-related groups, ultimately leading to 30 victims being defrauded of a total of over 2.34 million RMB by an overseas fraud organization (currency unit same hereinafter). The overseas fraud organization transferred the funds to the suspects' trading accounts via virtual currencies. The three defendants in this case were convicted of fraud and sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from 10 to 13 years. The Shanghai No.1 Intermediate People's Court noted that in telecom and online fraud cases, "referral personnel" may, depending on the circumstances, be convicted as accomplices to fraud or the crime of illegal use of information networks. The key lies in determining whether they have formed clear criminal intent communication with the upstream fraud syndicate and whether there is a stable division of labor and collaboration. When determining the criminal liability of "referral personnel" in judicial practice, factors such as their role in the criminal chain, level of organizational management, connections with upstream criminals, profit-making methods, and abnormal behavioral manifestations should be comprehensively considered. A distinction must be made between acts that only provide general network services without forming a fraud conspiracy, and "referral" acts that knowingly participate in the implementation of fraud.
Conflux Network has scheduled its v3.1.0 hard fork for Aug. 25, requiring node operators to install the update before seven network proposals and a private security fix take effect.
Summary
Conflux node operators must install v3.1.0 before the network reaches the Aug. 25 deadline. Seven proposals will improve Ethereum compatibility and correct transaction and staking problems. CIP-173 is expected to take effect on Aug. 26, one day after the upgrade deadline. Conflux will disclose details of a private security fix after the hard fork is completed. Conflux v3.1.0 requires a mandatory update Conflux Network said in an Aug. 3 announcement that all nodes must install version 3.1.0 before the blockchain reaches epoch 155140000, which is expected on Aug. 25.
An epoch is a numbered stage in a blockchain’s operation. Conflux has used the target number to set the official deadline because the precise activation time can change depending on how quickly the network produces blocks.
Node operators who update before the deadline can install the new software and restart their systems. Conflux advised operators to complete the process within two days of beginning the update.
Operators who wait until after the target epoch will face a more difficult process. According to the announcement, they will have to remove their existing blockchain data, install the latest version, and download the network records again.
Nodes that remain on older software will no longer be fully compatible with the upgraded blockchain. Conflux warned that affected operators may be unable to download new blocks, process transactions, or continue mining.
The update also requires operators to replace an important settings file with the new copy included in the release. Using the old file will prevent a node from starting because version 3.1.0 applies stricter checks to its settings.
Operators who previously changed where their node stores data or records activity can transfer those choices to the replacement file. Conflux has also provided an updated list of entry points that nodes use when first connecting to other participants on the network.
A separate optional setting can reduce the amount of storage used by a node. Activating it will make the first restart take longer while the software rebuilds a current record of account balances and other network information, but later restarts should return to their normal duration.
Seven Conflux proposals will change network rules Conflux plans to activate CIP-166, CIP-167, CIP-172, CIP-173, CIP-174, CIP-175 and CIP-176. A CIP, or Conflux Improvement Proposal, describes a planned change to the network’s rules or features.
Three proposals will make Conflux eSpace work more closely with applications built for Ethereum. eSpace is the part of Conflux that supports Ethereum-based smart contracts, wallets, and development tools.
CIP-166 adds a new operation that allows applications to count the empty digits at the start of a computer value. While mainly useful to developers, the change keeps Conflux aligned with a recent Ethereum network standard.
Under CIP-167, Conflux will add direct support for checking a type of digital signature commonly used by passkeys and online identity systems. Passkeys allow users to sign in through methods such as a fingerprint, facial scan, or device security code instead of entering a traditional password.
The proposal may help developers create wallets and applications with more familiar login systems. According to Conflux, the same signature method is already used by WebAuthn, the online authentication standard that supports passkeys.
For U.S.-based developers, the update provides a technical route for building applications that work with passkey systems already available on widely used devices and browsers. The Conflux announcement does not introduce separate trading, tax, or regulatory rules for American CFX holders.
CIP-174 will limit the size of information sent to a calculation-heavy network feature and increase the transaction fee charged for using it. Conflux linked the proposal to two Ethereum changes designed to prevent unusually large requests from consuming too many network resources.
Conflux previously expanded its Ethereum-compatible environment to support wallets, applications, and token transfers built around Ethereum standards. That design recently gained more importance for CFX traders after Upbit restricted deposits and withdrawals to Conflux eSpace.
As crypto.news previously reported, the South Korean exchange warned users that CFX sent through Core Space or another unsupported network could require a lengthy recovery process. Core Space is Conflux’s original operating environment, while eSpace supports Ethereum-compatible tools.
Transaction and staking problems will be corrected Four proposals focus on flaws found in existing network behavior. CIP-172 will require every transaction added to a block to follow one approved format.
Conflux said the current issue can allow the same transaction to receive more than one identifying code. Since blockchain services use those codes to locate and verify transfers, the update will require a single standard format.
Nodes running the new software will begin rejecting incorrectly formatted transactions before the full hard fork takes effect. The early protection will apply as soon as an operator installs version 3.1.0.
CIP-173 addresses problems in the network’s process for reviewing disputes involving proof-of-stake validators. Validators lock CFX to help confirm network activity and can face penalties when they break the rules.
The proposal will also extend an existing lock on staked CFX to validators who have already started withdrawing their entire deposit. Conflux expects CIP-173 to activate at proof-of-stake block 3749400 on Aug. 26.
CIP-175 corrects a problem affecting certain calls between Core Space and eSpace. In some cases, the network did not properly recognize the permission that one account had given another account to act on its behalf.
CIP-176 fixes how the network prepares stored information for use during a transaction. When the same account appeared several times in a transaction’s access list, Conflux prepared only the information attached to its final appearance. Version 3.1.0 will process all relevant entries.
The software release also improves how the proof-of-stake system handles pending transactions and new block proposals. Conflux said existing nodes will not need to download the entire blockchain again solely because of the internal storage changes included in the release.
Major Conflux upgrades have previously drawn attention to CFX. In July 2025, coverage of Conflux 3.0 recorded a roughly 70% rally from $0.1450 to $0.2416 after the earlier update was announced.
Trading volume and open positions in the derivatives market also rose sharply during that period. The v3.1.0 announcement, however, provides no CFX price forecast and focuses on the steps required from network operators.
Security fix will remain private until the hard fork Conflux said version 3.1.0 contains a fix for a security weakness but will not publish the related technical details until the network upgrade has been completed.
According to the project, an early disclosure could give attackers enough information to target nodes that have not yet installed the update. Conflux will therefore delay publishing the affected sections of its software until operators have had time to move to the protected version.
The team also warned operators against building their own version from the project’s latest unfinished software. Such copies may not match the official mainnet release and could cause an operator to follow a different version of the blockchain.
Conflux used a similar coordinated process in March 2025 when it repaired a flaw affecting how contracts were placed at blockchain addresses. Earlier security coverage reported that the problem could allow a contract to replace another contract already stored at the same address and return its settings to their original state.
The project said version 2.5 corrected the flaw after the ecosystem team, GraFun, privately reported it. GraFun received 60,000 CFX, including 50,000 CFX for finding the problem and 10,000 CFX for reporting it quickly enough to reduce the risk of exploitation.
Beyond the private security patch, version 3.1.0 repairs several crashes that could be caused by damaged messages from other nodes, incorrect requests sent to the network, or unusual information recorded on-chain.
The update also adds two new tools for eSpace services, improves controls that limit excessive requests, and corrects several errors in transaction records. Conflux has removed an older connection method while keeping the commonly used web and live connection options unchanged.
Additional maintenance work covers a crash during shutdown, excessive activity records during periods of heavy network use, and several outdated software parts. Version 3.1.0 also adds a meter that allows operators to monitor the number of transactions their nodes process in real time.

Garrett Jin: SK Hynix has rebounded to the take-profit zone, plans to buy Bitcoin on its pullback, and cautions to watch out for remaining share unlocks following SpaceX's short squeeze.
BTC OG and insider whale Garrett Jin released this week’s market report, characterizing South Korea’s market rebound as a wide-range consolidation rather than a new trend. SK Hynix retested the 1.42 million won level before a consecutive rebound, closing up 5.9% at 1,593,000 won on August 13. The KOSPI has rallied 20% from its July low to enter a technical bull market, but foreign investors have not shifted to long-term holdings, and the drag from leveraged ETFs remains. Garrett Jin set the first take-profit level at $1,150 (≈1.63 million won), with the next target at $1,300 (1.85 million won.
Garrett Jin also noted that gold posted its strongest weekly gain since January this week, rising 7.8% to $4,388. The rally was driven by July’s non-farm payrolls falling by 23,000 and moderate CPI data, which pushed back bets on a September rate hike. However, gold is now overbought in the short term, so a pullback would present an opportunity to add positions in batches. Bitcoin failed to react to the same macro tailwinds, remaining trapped between the $62,500 support and $65,000-$70,000 resistance. A bottoming structure since the $57,700 level is gradually forming, and Garrett Jin will wait for a pullback to enter the next buying round.
On SpaceX, Garrett Jin views its recent performance as a classic case of “bad news fully priced in + short squeeze”, with the lock-up period itself acting as a washout rather than a starting point for a decline. However, the lock-up window is not over: 319 million shares will unlock on August 20, and another ~700 million shares each in September and October. The current price up to $160 is a take-profit zone, not a zone for chasing highs.
The Nasdaq’s gain expanded to 1%, with the storage sector leading the rally, and Western Digital surged 7.4%.
According to market data from BIT (bit.com), the Nasdaq’s intraday gain widened to 1% during US stock trading hours, with the storage sector leading the rally.

From your perspective, what are the biggest technical and regulatory challenges that still need to be solved before RWAs can scale globally?9. Q9. How do you think on-chain collateralization, lending, and liquidity markets will evolve once more tangible assets are brought on chain?10. Q10. You’ve worked across investments, capital markets, and business operations before co-founding Conflux. How has that background shaped the way you think about blockchain infrastructure?11. Q11. What would success look like for Conflux over the next 12 to 24 months in the RWA space?12. Q12. Finally, when you are not working on blockchain infrastructure, your interests include sci-fi, gaming, and skiing. Do those hobbies influence how you think about innovation, risk-taking, or long-term vision? Q1. Conflux has been positioning itself as a compliant blockchain ecosystem for real-world assets. What does “compliant RWA infrastructure” mean to you in practical terms? We see Conflux as the infrastructure layer, not the regulated financial institution. Our role is to provide the blockchain network that enables licensed partners to bring real-world assets on-chain in accordance with applicable regulations.
Q2. Many people still see RWAs as a narrative rather than a working market. What is the biggest misconception about tokenized real-world assets right now? One of the biggest misconceptions we see from asset owners is an assumption that putting an asset on-chain will automatically attract global capital and solve financing challenges. In reality, tokenization does not create value or liquidity on its own. Investors care about the quality of the underlying asset, not simply whether it is on-chain. Blockchain technology can meaningfully improve efficiency, transparency, and accessibility, but it cannot fix a weak asset. Tokenization is a structural improvement to capital markets infrastructure, not a substitute for investment fundamentals. Ultimately, RWA is about building a more efficient and investable capital market, not just a new way to raise money.
Q3. Conflux has been integrating gold-backed and dollar-linked liquidity through assets like Tether Gold and USDT0. Why are these assets important to your broader vision for on-chain finance? We see USDT0 and Tether Gold not as standalone products, but as foundational building blocks for a broader on-chain financial ecosystem. USDT0 provides the liquidity infrastructure needed for payments and settlement, while Tether Gold brings a trusted and universally recognised store of value onto the blockchain. Together, they enable a much wider range of financial activities, from payments and savings through to lending and investment, which creates the conditions for a genuinely functional on-chain economy.
Equally important is the role these assets play in bridging traditional finance and blockchain. By anchoring on-chain finance in familiar, trusted assets, they lower the barrier to adoption for both retail users and institutions who might otherwise find the transition daunting. Our long-term vision is to build a comprehensive on-chain financial ecosystem powered by stablecoins, tokenised commodities, and other real-world assets, with USDT0 and Tether Gold forming the foundation on which that ecosystem is built.
Q4. You have also been advancing offshore yuan stablecoin initiatives for cross-border trade. What role do you see stablecoins playing in Asia’s trade and settlement flows? No comments.
Q5. What makes Asia such an important region for the next phase of RWA adoption, and how does Conflux plan to bridge regulated markets with Web3 infrastructure there? Asia represents one of the most important regions for the next phase of RWA adoption, and for good reason. The combination of real economic demand, evolving regulatory clarity, and an abundance of tokenizable assets creates conditions that few other regions can match. Across many Asian markets, there are acute practical needs in cross-border payments, trade finance, and capital access. Precisely the areas where tokenization can deliver tangible, near-term value rather than theoretical promise.
The regulatory environment is also maturing. Clearer frameworks are emerging across the region, providing the institutional confidence needed to move from experimentation to meaningful adoption. Within this landscape, Conflux’s role is to provide the underlying blockchain infrastructure, enabling licensed partners to bring compliant RWAs on-chain, rather than operating as a financial institution itself. Hong Kong sits at the centre of this strategy, serving as a natural gateway that connects traditional finance, digital assets, and cross-border capital flows.
Q6. Conflux is working on use cases across renewable energy and trade finance. Why do these sectors stand out as strong starting points for RWA adoption? Renewable energy and trade finance stand out as strong starting points for RWA adoption because they combine genuine economic activity with clear, demonstrable blockchain use cases. Making them ideal proving grounds for what on-chain finance can achieve in practice.
Renewable energy assets typically generate predictable cash flows but remain relatively illiquid and difficult to access for a broad range of investors. Tokenization addresses this directly by improving transparency, accessibility, and capital efficiency. Therefore, unlocking value that is already there but poorly served by traditional structures. Trade finance presents a different but equally compelling opportunity. The sector has long relied on fragmented processes and slow settlement, and blockchain can deliver meaningful improvements in efficiency, transparency, and traceability across complex, multi-party transactions.
What unites both sectors is that they are grounded in real assets and measurable cash flows; precisely the characteristics that make them well suited for sustainable, long-term RWA adoption. At Conflux, our focus is on connecting these real-world assets with on-chain capital markets, making them more transparent, accessible, and interoperable. We believe the next phase of RWA growth will be driven by real economic activity, with renewable energy and trade finance strong early indicators of that direction.
Q7. Partnerships with projects like dForce, Dow Protocol, and Byzanlink suggest Conflux is building a wider ecosystem around RWAs. What qualities do you look for in partners? Building the right ecosystem around RWAs requires selecting partners that solve real bottlenecks in the RWA value chain rather than simply adding another application on top of existing infrastructure. That is the standard we apply when evaluating who we work with.
Strong domain expertise is essential. Whether a partner’s strengths lie in asset issuance, DeFi, payments, custody, or settlement, we look for genuine depth in their respective field. Equally important is a long-term commitment to compliance, transparency, and sustainable growth, qualities that are non-negotiable in a space where institutional trust is still being established. We also place particular value on teams that can bridge traditional finance and blockchain, helping to connect real-world assets with on-chain liquidity in ways that are practical and accessible to both worlds.
Ultimately, our focus is on real utility and long-term adoption rather than short-term momentum. Our goal is to build an open, compliant, and interoperable RWA ecosystem. That is only achievable with partners who share that vision and are committed to building it for the long term.
Q8. From your perspective, what are the biggest technical and regulatory challenges that still need to be solved before RWAs can scale globally? The biggest challenge standing between RWAs and global scale is the infrastructure needed to connect traditional finance and blockchain to make a connection that is reliable, compliant, and trusted at an institutional level.
On the technical side, the priority is building robust links between off-chain assets and their on-chain representations, underpinned by dependable data, custody solutions, and sound legal structures. These are not insurmountable problems, and significant progress has already been made. In many respects, technology is no longer the primary bottleneck as most assets can already be tokenized in a meaningful sense.
The harder challenge is regulatory. Fragmentation across jurisdictions remains a significant barrier, with different markets applying different rules to digital assets and securities. What the industry now needs is the development of standardised legal, compliance, and operational frameworks that institutions can trust and build upon with confidence. Global RWA adoption will ultimately depend on two things advancing in parallel: greater regulatory coordination across borders, and trusted infrastructure that enables compliant cross-border issuance, trading, and settlement. Without both, scale will remain out of reach.
Q9. How do you think on-chain collateralization, lending, and liquidity markets will evolve once more tangible assets are brought on chain? The most significant shift that broader RWA adoption will bring to on-chain lending and liquidity markets is a fundamental diversification of the collateral base. Today, on-chain lending is largely constrained to crypto-native assets, which limits both the stability and the scale of what is possible. As more real-world assets come on-chain, such as government bonds, private credit and gold, lending markets will expand considerably. Thus, creating the conditions for more stable borrowing rates, greater capital efficiency, and a much broader range of financial products.
We are already seeing the early signs of this transition, with tokenised Treasuries and gold beginning to be integrated into on-chain finance in meaningful ways. But this is still the beginning. As the collateral base matures, RWAs will increasingly serve as a bridge between institutional capital and blockchain liquidity, bringing familiar, trusted assets on-chain in a way that makes the ecosystem accessible and credible to a far wider pool of participants.
Our view is that the future of finance is hybrid. Crypto-native assets and real-world assets will not compete but coexist, each reinforcing the other within a more mature and resilient on-chain financial ecosystem. That convergence is what we are building towards.
Q10. You’ve worked across investments, capital markets, and business operations before co-founding Conflux. How has that background shaped the way you think about blockchain infrastructure? There is a big misconception about blockchain infrastructure. People call it Web3 but it never comes down to revolutionizing the mechanism of the Internet. People invented many narratives on Socialfi, Gamefi, Metaverse and Depin etc. However, those narratives prove to be false or a fad. In the end, it morphes closer into innovative fintech instead of the new Internet backbone.
As the latest fintech infrastructure, it facilitates the capital flow through stablecoins and helps USD, US treasuries and US stocks be distributed to a broader frontier that they could ever reach. I used to work in the trad-fi and I understand how capital markets are segmented by the borders of the countries. After exploring the frontier of the crypto ecosystem, I witnessed how blockchain unify the capital markets in global crypto markets in the forms of stablecoins, Defi and RWA. Finance is at its essence but the new fintech expands its outreach.
Q11. What would success look like for Conflux over the next 12 to 24 months in the RWA space? Success over the next 12 to 24 months is not simply a matter of bringing more assets on-chain but it is about enabling real economic activity through RWAs at a scale that moves the industry beyond isolated pilots into genuine, institutional-grade adoption.
In practical terms, that means seeing RWAs become deeply integrated with stablecoins, lending markets, and on-chain liquidity. It also means strengthening the infrastructure that connects regulated financial markets with public blockchains, particularly across Asia, where we see the greatest near-term opportunity for meaningful adoption.
More broadly, our goal is to build a complete on-chain financial ecosystem where issuers, institutions, developers, and end users can all participate with confidence. That is the milestone we are building towards.
Q12. Finally, when you are not working on blockchain infrastructure, your interests include sci-fi, gaming, and skiing. Do those hobbies influence how you think about innovation, risk-taking, or long-term vision? My hobbies naturally reflect my curiosity, courage and diversity of life experience. By reading books depicting the possible futures, I am more open to embrace an involving environment. By practicing extreme sports, I increase my tolerance of higher risk in exploring the activities people can endure. By trying different games, I get to know people from all over the world and learn stories of other people.
Reading enables you to learn from history and helps you backtrack how you plan for a trajectory over the long-term. Playing games and sports give a break to think deeply and calmly so that you don’t deviate from the main road.
South Korea’s largest crypto exchange is about to introduce a lot of Korean retail traders to Conflux Network. Upbit will launch CFX trading pairs against the Korean Won, Bitcoin, and Tether simultaneously on July 31, with trading set to begin around 14:00 KST.
Three pairs at once is not the standard playbook. Most exchange listings start with a single base pair and expand later. Upbit going straight to KRW, BTC, and USDT coverage signals meaningful conviction in CFX’s liquidity potential, at least from the exchange’s perspective.
What Conflux actually is Conflux Network has a positioning that is genuinely unusual in the Layer 1 space. Founded in 2018 by academics with ties to Canadian institutions, the project describes itself as China’s only regulatory-compliant public blockchain.
That regulatory status gives Conflux a specific strategic lane. Where most global Layer 1 networks operate in a grey area with respect to Chinese regulators, Conflux sits in a sanctioned position, making it one of the few credible on-ramps for blockchain activity that wants exposure to the Chinese market without the associated legal risk.

CFX, the network’s native token, handles transaction fees, staking, governance, and miner incentives. The token reached an all-time high of $1.70 in March 2021, and its market cap at the time of the Upbit listing announcement sat in the $212 to $213 million range.
Recent upgrades and institutional moves Conflux has not been sitting still ahead of this listing. The network integrated support for the Infini stablecoin on July 6, 2026, and brought on Fireblocks for institutional custody starting in June 2026.
Fireblocks is one of the most widely used institutional digital asset infrastructure providers, and its involvement signals that Conflux is actively courting the type of capital that requires enterprise-grade custody before it will touch a token.
The bigger technical event is still coming. The Conflux 3.0 upgrade, anticipated in August 2026, targets transaction throughput of 15,000 transactions per second.
The timing is notable. A major exchange listing at the end of July, followed by a significant protocol upgrade in August, creates a sequence that the market will be watching closely.
Why the Upbit listing matters for CFX Upbit, operated by Dunamu, is South Korea’s dominant exchange by trading volume. Korean retail participation in crypto markets is historically intense, and KRW-denominated trading pairs on Upbit tend to generate significant volume spikes around listing events.
What the listing does unambiguously provide is liquidity infrastructure. CFX holders in Korea now have a direct KRW exit ramp, which lowers friction for both buying and selling.
The three-pair structure also matters for arbitrage dynamics. CFX/KRW, CFX/BTC, and CFX/USDT trading simultaneously on Upbit creates multiple pricing references that traders will actively align across markets. That cross-pair activity typically contributes to price discovery and can reduce the spread between Upbit’s CFX price and CFX prices on other global venues.
Conflux’s regulatory positioning in China also remains a double-edged factor. It is a genuine differentiator, but Chinese regulatory environments have a track record of changing faster than most blockchain roadmaps can adapt to. Investors pricing in the China angle should treat that compliance status as an asset that requires ongoing maintenance rather than a permanent moat.

Conflux Network and AutoStaking have formed a strategic alliance that combines AutoStaking’s intelligent yield optimization technology with Conflux’s powerful Layer-1 infrastructure. They aim to develop creative solutions that will expand the relationship between traditional commerce and decentralized finance.
Combining AI Intelligence and Blockchain Scalability AutoStaking makes DeFi simplified with an AI-based wealth manager that can design positions like no other investor’s strategy that would be tailored towards your risk tolerance and deposit choices. Unlike the traditional aggregators, its AI agents simplify the choice of protocols, rebalance a portfolio on a constant basis, and make transactions, which is more efficient and risk averse. This enables the user to access diversified and audited protocols and auto-compounding vaults without having to manually navigate.
The platform is further enhanced by the Conflux Network, utilizing a distinctive Tree-Graph consensus algorithm. Conflux is unique with its combination of PoW and POS into one converged system. This hybrid approach is what enables it to work at an incredible 3000 transactions per second and still have very low latency. This massive combo of AI and a massively scalable blockchain system contributes to a safe and high-speed universe for seamless wealth management automation.
Redefining Low-Cost Cross Border Payments The collaboration is focusing on efficient cross-border payments and that is a timely question in modern-day finance. Traditional payment systems face challenges like elevated fees, sluggish transaction times, and limited accessibility. This partnership leverages AutoStaking’s innovative AI optimization alongside the robust payment infrastructure of the Conflux web3 wallet, delivering consumer-friendly payment experiences that are effortlessly seamless and accessible, even for those without technical expertise, all thanks to the advantages of DeFi.
Conflux’s stablecoin initiatives, such as the offshore yuan-backed CNHT0 and USDT0, establish the foundation for this payment layer. The LayerZero OFT integrated Omnichain stablecoins launched in November 2025 that enables cross-chain transfers between Ethereum and Conflux to occur without any hassles, and at a much lower transaction fee.
AutoStaking The one-click migration feature of AutoStaking by innovative technology of chain abstraction enables the easy transfer of investments from one protocol to another. With the user-friendly applications of Conflux, it allows its way to everyday users who wish to take part in sophisticated financial strategies without having to confront complex blockchain interactions.
Accelerating the Convergence of the Traditional and Decentralized Finance The strategic alliance represents the acceleration of the convergence of traditional trade and decentralized finance. AutoStaking solves two common DeFi problems: a complex interface and demanding portfolio management. AI can make it easier for you to manage tedious tasks so that you don’t have to focus on them when working on strategic projects. In addition, Conflux’s partnerships and regulatory compliance will give you the level of trust in your operations and management that will enable you to operate as a traditional business does.
Recent developments have considerably increased the impact that can be made from this partnership. At the end of October 2025, Conflux team successfully hard forked its v3.0 release to make their ecosystem more RPC, storage and compatibility friendly. This upgrade came with the addition of more than 10 new partnerships in the spheres of DeFi, AI governance, gaming, and Web3 payroll.
Conclusion The purpose of the collaboration is to facilitate access to high-end financial tools but maintain the access security and efficiency that Blockchain technology provides. This alliance is focused on developing a more accessible decentralized financial system with AI-powered optimization and regulatory-compliant high-performance blockchain infrastructure. It is intended to serve the crypto-native as well as mainstream consumers coming to Web3.

Conflux [CFX] has surged over 12% in the past 24 hours as trading volume exploded more than 570%, signaling a sharp return of market participation.
Such synchronized expansion in price and activity has reflected renewed trading interest around the asset.
As buyers re-enter the market, CFX has pushed higher from recent lows and has started reclaiming key technical levels.
Importantly, rising activity across spot markets has indicated that the move does not reflect isolated volatility but broader participation.
Channel breakout signals shifting market structure CFX has spent several months trading inside a clear descending channel that consistently guided lower highs and declining price pressure.
Recently, however, buyers have stepped in near the $0.044 support region and initiated a strong rebound from that defensive level.
The recovery has gradually pushed price upward until the asset finally broke above the upper boundary of the descending channel.
Such structural breaks often signal weakening bearish control. Because the breakout emerged alongside stronger buying activity, traders increasingly view the move as an early shift in market structure.
Directional Movement Index readings have begun showing clear signs that buyer pressure is strengthening across the market.
The +DI line climbed above the –DI line at press time, indicating that bullish forces currently dominate recent price movement.
At the same time, the ADX value rose to around 25.98, reflecting strengthening trend intensity rather than fading activity. CFX now advances toward the $0.070 resistance zone, which has historically acted as a strong pivot.
If buyers maintain pressure near current levels, this reclaimed structure could support further upside exploration.
Source: TradingView Exchange outflows hint at tightening supply Spot flow activity has revealed persistent negative exchange netflows, indicating that CFX continued to leave trading platforms. The latest recorded netflow has shown roughly –$39.38K, reinforcing the ongoing outflow trend visible across recent weeks.
Such movement usually reflects investors transferring tokens into private wallets or long-term storage. Since fewer tokens remain on exchanges, available sell-side liquidity gradually decreases.
As supply on trading venues tightens, price movements often respond more aggressively to new buying pressure. In addition, the sustained nature of these outflows suggests that holders currently prefer accumulation rather than distribution.
Source: CoinGlass Derivatives traders increase positioning around CFX Open Interest has jumped nearly 41.99%, climbing to approximately $30.93M. Such rapid expansion often indicates that fresh capital has entered derivatives markets instead of traders simply closing existing positions.
Because Open Interest rises alongside price recovery, many participants appear to position for continued directional movement. At the same time, growing leverage activity increases sensitivity to future volatility.
As new contracts accumulate, even moderate price movements can trigger larger reactions in derivatives markets.
Source: CoinGlass Could CFX sustain this breakout? CFX now trades above its descending channel while buying pressure strengthens and exchange supply continues declining.
With derivatives activity expanding and price approaching the $0.070 resistance zone, the market currently reflects growing bullish conviction.
If buyers maintain control above the recent breakout level, the ongoing recovery could extend further as traders increasingly position for additional upside.
Final Summary Conflux’s breakout reflects strengthening buyer conviction as market structure shifts away from prolonged bearish pressure. Expanding trading participation suggests growing confidence, which could support continued recovery if demand persists.

JPMorgan Chase raised its S&P 500 target to 7,800 points, while warning of an overcrowded AI trade.
JPMorgan Chase has raised its year-end outlook for U.S. stocks, while cautioning investors that the overcrowding in AI-related momentum stocks is becoming the market’s most vulnerable segment. The JPMorgan strategy team led by Dubravko Lakos-Bujas lifted its 2026 year-end target for the S&P 500 from 7,600 to 7,800 points, citing continued upward revisions to corporate earnings expectations and nearly doubling of AI-related capital expenditures. The bank noted that consensus earnings expectations for both 2026 and 2027 have been revised up by roughly 10% since the start of the year, a magnitude typically only seen in the recovery phase after a recession or major shock. However, JPMorgan does not interpret this upward revision as a risk-free rally. The bank pointed out that low-quality growth stocks, speculative growth stocks, and second- and third-tier AI-related concept stocks have become "extremely overcrowded," and a pullout of capital could trigger a rapid correction. The strategists also noted that rising equity supply in the coming quarters and potentially tight monetary policy could cap further valuation expansion. On the allocation front, JPMorgan recommends a barbell strategy: holding high-quality growth stocks and stocks directly benefiting from AI on one end, and low-volatility, high-quality stocks as a portfolio buffer on the other. The bank remains bullish on tech, select industrials, utilities, defense, banks, and some healthcare growth stocks, but believes the market’s upward trajectory will not be linear.

Preview: The U.S. May core PCE data will be released at 20:30 tonight, and is projected to hit its highest level since October 2023.
The Fed’s key inflation gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, will be released at 20:30 tonight, with markets expecting a sharp rise in May inflation that could reignite rate hike bets. The headline PCE year-over-year growth rate is projected to hit 4.1% in May, up from 3.8% in April and marking its highest level since 2023. Core PCE, which excludes food and energy, is forecast to rise to 3.4% year-over-year, up from 3.3% in April and its highest reading since October 2023. Core PCE has remained above the Fed’s 2% inflation target since 2021. The recent short-term inflation uptick was driven mainly by surging gasoline prices amid the Iran conflict in May. Oil prices have since edged lower following the signing of a peace deal between the U.S. and Iran, but core inflation has strengthened in tandem, indicating that price pressures are not solely tied to geopolitical oil shocks. Data from the CME FedWatch Tool shows that as of Wednesday, markets are pricing in a 34% probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in July. Aditya Bhave, U.S. economist at Bank of America Securities, noted that the recent inflation rebound stems in part from tariffs and one-off disruptions, but successive supply shocks have eroded the Fed’s patience, while deflationary room in the housing sector has largely been exhausted. Data shows that core PCE dipped to 2.6% in April, its lowest level since 2022, but annualized core PCE growth over the past three and six months has hovered near 3.8%.

The "Retail vs. Wall Street" concept-linked token WEN continues its strong run, rising over 18% in after-hours trading.
According to Bitget market data, Wendy's (WEN) rallied 25.66% in the regular trading session, then climbed an extra 18.96% in after-hours trading, now changing hands at $9.35. Earlier reports noted that Serenity took to Twitter to mock the latest meme stock movement unfolding on Reddit's high-risk trading communities, targeting U.S. fast-food chain Wendy's. The Reddit community's meme warning reads: "If Wendy's goes bankrupt, we'll all be out of jobs, and after losing all our trading money, we'll have to work behind Wendy's trash cans." Serenity later clarified that they hold no positions, only found the activity amusing, and added they were unsure if the campaign would succeed. Wendy's holds a special cultural status on Reddit's WallStreetBets community; for years, "working behind Wendy's trash cans" has been a staple joke among retail investors mocking their trading losses.

Danske Bank: Federal Reserve may raise interest rates at least twice
Danske Bank senior analyst Kirstine Kundby-Nielsen and chief analyst Jens Peter Sorensen stated in a report that they expect the U.S. Federal Reserve to raise interest rates twice, in December 2026 and March 2027 respectively, bringing the federal funds rate to 4.00%-4.25%. "However, we emphasize there is a risk that rate hikes could come earlier and that the number of hikes may exceed two," they said. The first Federal Reserve meeting led by Kevin Warsh sent a clear signal that the Fed is increasingly moving away from forward guidance surrounding future monetary policy decisions. "All signs indicate that (the Fed) is leaning toward having greater discretion in future policy decisions," the Danske Bank analysts added. Source: Jin10
Conflux Capital, a provider of automated digital asset solutions, today announced the expansion of its quantitative trading framework designed to provide institutional-grade stability for BTC and ETH portfolios. As digital asset markets experience increased volatility, the platform’s data-driven models offer a technical alternative to manual portfolio management.
In response to shifting market dynamics, Conflux Capital’s suite of quantitative strategies aims to assist users in navigating uncertainty through algorithmic risk mitigation. By prioritizing objective data over speculative trends, the platform has become a focal point for investors seeking a structured approach to digital asset allocation.
The current market environment underscores the importance of sophisticated management tools. The model is designed to lower technical barriers while providing a scalable environment for long-term platform engagement. The use of automated, value-oriented technology represents a critical step in modern digital asset management.
A New Standard in Digital Asset Infrastructure: Conflux Capital provides a proactive alternative to traditional “buy and hold” strategies. By leveraging short-term digital strategies, the platform allows users to deploy computing resources efficiently, reducing the need for constant manual market oversight.

XAUt0 is now live on Conflux, expanding omnichain access to tokenized gold within one of Asia’s most strategically connected blockchain ecosystems.
With this deployment, XAUt0 joins USDT0 on Conflux, expanding the network’s access to the broader USDT0 Network asset suite. Together, these deployments allow Conflux’s builders and users to tap into two of the world’s most widely used monetary assets in a way that is borderlessly accessible and endlessly composable.
As the omnichain deployment of Tether Gold (XAUt), XAUt0 is built to unify gold-backed liquidity across multiple blockchains using LayerZero’s OFT standard. Each XAUt0 token maintains the same exposure to physical gold as XAUt while allowing balances to move seamlessly across chains without relying on wrapped assets or fragmented liquidity pools.
With XAUt0 available on Conflux, the ecosystem can now support:
Seamless value movement between ecosystems using omnichain gold liquidity
Gold-backed collateral within lending markets and structured financial products
New payment and settlement models that incorporate tokenized commodities
Cross-chain trading strategies that integrate gold exposure alongside stablecoins and other digital assets
This expansion fits naturally within Conflux’s broader role in the global blockchain ecosystem. As the only public, permissionless network with regulatory approval for use in China, Conflux sits at the intersection of regional financial infrastructure and global onchain markets. With XAUt0 now available, the Conflux community can incorporate tokenized gold directly onchain wherever the action is.
Expanding Conflux’s Omnichain OfferingsWith XAUt0 now live on Conflux, the network gains access to a more diversified set of omnichain assets. Alongside USDT0’s unified dollar liquidity, XAUt0 introduces tokenized gold that can move seamlessly across supported chains. This allows builders to combine two of the most widely trusted monetary assets within a single cross-chain liquidity environment.
Stablecoins provide the transactional backbone of most of today’s major onchain markets, while gold’s reliability as a safe haven asset has outlasted entire civilizations. By unlocking the omnichain deployment of both assets, Conflux can support financial applications that are more resilient to shifting market conditions while remaining connected to a deep, composable source of omnichain liquidity.
Road Town, British Virgin Islands, April 9th, 2026, Chainwire
Today, USDT0, the unified liquidity network for Tether’s US dollar-pegged stablecoin (USDT), announces XAUt0, the omnichain deployment of Tether Gold (XAUt), is now live on the Conflux Network, expanding access to tokenized gold within one of Asia’s most strategically connected blockchain ecosystems.
With this launch, XAUT0 joins USDT0 on Conflux, giving developers and users access to both dollar-denominated stablecoin liquidity and gold-backed digital assets within the same omnichain environment. Together, these assets allow builders across the Conflux ecosystem to work with two of the world’s most widely trusted forms of money in a borderless, programmable format.
“As tokenized assets continue to move onchain, access to trusted monetary instruments becomes increasingly important,” said Lorenzo Romagnoli, Co-Founder of USDT0 and XAUt0. “By bringing XAUt0 to Conflux, we’re expanding the reach of tokenized gold and enabling developers to integrate a historically trusted store of value directly into cross-chain financial applications.”
XAUt0 extends the functionality of Tether Gold by allowing balances to move seamlessly across supported blockchains using LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard. Each XAUt0 token maintains the same exposure to physical gold as XAUt while enabling transfers between chains without relying on wrapped tokens or fragmented liquidity pools.
With XAUt0 available on Conflux, the ecosystem can now support a range of new use cases, including:
Seamless value movement across ecosystems using omnichain gold liquidity Gold-backed collateral for lending markets and structured financial products Payment and settlement models incorporating tokenized commodities Cross-chain trading strategies combining gold exposure with stablecoins and other digital assets The launch aligns with Conflux’s position as a bridge between Asian markets and global blockchain infrastructure. As the only public, permissionless blockchain with regulatory approval for use in China, Conflux plays a unique role connecting regional financial innovation with the broader onchain economy.
“With XAUt0 joining USDT0 on Conflux, our ecosystem gains access to a diversified set of omnichain assets that developers can build around,” said Yuanjie Zhang of Co-founder and COO of Conflux Network. “Tokenized gold alongside stablecoin liquidity opens the door for new financial applications that combine stability, liquidity, and global accessibility.”
Stablecoins have become the transactional backbone of many onchain markets, while gold has served as a trusted store of value for centuries. By enabling both assets to move seamlessly across blockchain networks, Conflux is positioning itself as a platform where developers can build financial applications that remain resilient across changing market conditions while tapping into deep, unified liquidity.

JPMorgan Chase raised its S&P 500 target to 7,800 points, while warning of an overcrowded AI trade.
JPMorgan Chase has raised its year-end outlook for U.S. stocks, while cautioning investors that the overcrowding in AI-related momentum stocks is becoming the market’s most vulnerable segment. The JPMorgan strategy team led by Dubravko Lakos-Bujas lifted its 2026 year-end target for the S&P 500 from 7,600 to 7,800 points, citing continued upward revisions to corporate earnings expectations and nearly doubling of AI-related capital expenditures. The bank noted that consensus earnings expectations for both 2026 and 2027 have been revised up by roughly 10% since the start of the year, a magnitude typically only seen in the recovery phase after a recession or major shock. However, JPMorgan does not interpret this upward revision as a risk-free rally. The bank pointed out that low-quality growth stocks, speculative growth stocks, and second- and third-tier AI-related concept stocks have become "extremely overcrowded," and a pullout of capital could trigger a rapid correction. The strategists also noted that rising equity supply in the coming quarters and potentially tight monetary policy could cap further valuation expansion. On the allocation front, JPMorgan recommends a barbell strategy: holding high-quality growth stocks and stocks directly benefiting from AI on one end, and low-volatility, high-quality stocks as a portfolio buffer on the other. The bank remains bullish on tech, select industrials, utilities, defense, banks, and some healthcare growth stocks, but believes the market’s upward trajectory will not be linear.

Preview: The U.S. May core PCE data will be released at 20:30 tonight, and is projected to hit its highest level since October 2023.
The Fed’s key inflation gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, will be released at 20:30 tonight, with markets expecting a sharp rise in May inflation that could reignite rate hike bets. The headline PCE year-over-year growth rate is projected to hit 4.1% in May, up from 3.8% in April and marking its highest level since 2023. Core PCE, which excludes food and energy, is forecast to rise to 3.4% year-over-year, up from 3.3% in April and its highest reading since October 2023. Core PCE has remained above the Fed’s 2% inflation target since 2021. The recent short-term inflation uptick was driven mainly by surging gasoline prices amid the Iran conflict in May. Oil prices have since edged lower following the signing of a peace deal between the U.S. and Iran, but core inflation has strengthened in tandem, indicating that price pressures are not solely tied to geopolitical oil shocks. Data from the CME FedWatch Tool shows that as of Wednesday, markets are pricing in a 34% probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in July. Aditya Bhave, U.S. economist at Bank of America Securities, noted that the recent inflation rebound stems in part from tariffs and one-off disruptions, but successive supply shocks have eroded the Fed’s patience, while deflationary room in the housing sector has largely been exhausted. Data shows that core PCE dipped to 2.6% in April, its lowest level since 2022, but annualized core PCE growth over the past three and six months has hovered near 3.8%.

The "Retail vs. Wall Street" concept-linked token WEN continues its strong run, rising over 18% in after-hours trading.
According to Bitget market data, Wendy's (WEN) rallied 25.66% in the regular trading session, then climbed an extra 18.96% in after-hours trading, now changing hands at $9.35. Earlier reports noted that Serenity took to Twitter to mock the latest meme stock movement unfolding on Reddit's high-risk trading communities, targeting U.S. fast-food chain Wendy's. The Reddit community's meme warning reads: "If Wendy's goes bankrupt, we'll all be out of jobs, and after losing all our trading money, we'll have to work behind Wendy's trash cans." Serenity later clarified that they hold no positions, only found the activity amusing, and added they were unsure if the campaign would succeed. Wendy's holds a special cultural status on Reddit's WallStreetBets community; for years, "working behind Wendy's trash cans" has been a staple joke among retail investors mocking their trading losses.

Danske Bank: Federal Reserve may raise interest rates at least twice
Danske Bank senior analyst Kirstine Kundby-Nielsen and chief analyst Jens Peter Sorensen stated in a report that they expect the U.S. Federal Reserve to raise interest rates twice, in December 2026 and March 2027 respectively, bringing the federal funds rate to 4.00%-4.25%. "However, we emphasize there is a risk that rate hikes could come earlier and that the number of hikes may exceed two," they said. The first Federal Reserve meeting led by Kevin Warsh sent a clear signal that the Fed is increasingly moving away from forward guidance surrounding future monetary policy decisions. "All signs indicate that (the Fed) is leaning toward having greater discretion in future policy decisions," the Danske Bank analysts added. Source: Jin10
Conflux [CFX] was among the highest gainers in the past 24 hours with an 11% price surge. The altcoin’s daily trading volume surpassed $75 million as its market cap neared $400 million.
Here are the details as to how the daily rally unfolded:
Conflux shatters range consolidation The price action of Conflux broke a multi-month descending trendline resistance at the start of March. This resistance had been in place since July 2025.
Since then, it has entered a sideways consolidation phase that has lasted for more than two and a half months.
A lower timeframe chart showed Conflux also broke out of the sideways-range market. The range was characterized by two horizontal levels at $0.04709 and $0.06823. A confirmation came through a retest of the $0.07 zone.
Consequently, CFX surged to around $0.08 as the price traded above the 100 EMA. The MACD bars indicated bullish strength, with the signal lines showing a positive direction.
Source: CFX/USDT on TradingView Furthermore, there was a capital inflow, as seen in the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF). The CMF reading was at 0.04, from the negative territory of 0.27.
With the altcoin’s breakout, more upside could be anticipated if the price stays above $0.07. However, CFX appears to be pulling back following this rally.
That said, what specific network activity metrics were behind this move?
Chain activity fueling price breakout Liquidity was growing on the network because its stablecoin market cap increased from $2,008 to $5.24 million in 18 days. In terms of weekly growth, the stablecoin market cap rose by 18.61%.
Additionally, the app revenue increased by almost 6x in two days. On May 12, the revenue was $23, reaching $138 at the time of writing. Despite the massive increase, these figures were very low compared to other blockchains.
Source: DefiLlama Moreover, the transaction count per day reached a new high since April. The total transactions spiked to 28,198 from 11,634 during this surge. This represented a 2.5x surge.
New users were starting to come back after months of inactivity. As per Confluxscan, the number continues increasing, with users growing from 29 to 118 this month.
Source: CONFLUXscan In short, apart from the technical breakout, chain activities were also responsible for this surge. Consistency in the network and buyer activity could help keep this breakout alive. Still, there was a need to be wary of corrections that happen in uptrends.
Final Summary Conflux surged 11% after breaking out from a sideways range market, confirmed with a retest at the $0.07 zone. Conflux’s network activity, like transaction count, app revenue, stablecoin market cap, and user growth, drove the rally.
PANews reported on May 16 that Digital Asset Clearing Center (DACC), a tokenized financial market infrastructure, announced the completion of a $10 million strategic financing round. Conflux, Global InfoTech, Fosun International, Blockstone, Avior Capital, Fintech World, Satoshi Ventures, and BridgeTower were among the investors. DACC currently provides end-to-end "Clearing-as-a-Service" to financial institutions, and the new funding will support its efforts to build a compliant financial settlement and clearing infrastructure.
Conflux [CFX] has declined by 11% in the last 24 hours, but several factors have been pulling against a clean bearish narrative. This, despite the steepness of the drop.
In fact, both the perpetual and spot markets seemed to be showing signs of buying activity and long trader dominance, creating a mismatch with the price action calling for measured caution.
Perpetual funding rates remain positive At the time of writing, perpetual market data revealed the decline was not being backed by the funding rate – An anomaly worth examining.
Data from CoinGlass showed approximately $4.5 million in Open Interest capital exiting the market during this period, confirming negative sentiment feeding into the price.
On the contrary, the funding rate, which gauges whether long or short traders dominate the perpetual market, has remained positive.
Source: Coinglass A positive funding rate means long contracts outnumber short contracts, with long traders paying the funding fee.
At press time, the funding rate had climbed to 0.0058%, confirming that long traders held the majority of the positioning in the market. This was an anomaly though given that long traders absorbed $253,000 in losses over the same period.
Binance top traders push CFX There is likely a connection between the positive funding rate and the positioning of Binance’s top traders.
For instance – Data showed that Binance top traders, measured by both account size and position size, have been leaning bullish on CFX while recording significant buying volumes.
The long-to-short ratio by position size moved up to 2.21, while the ratio by account size hit 1.23.
Source: Coinglass A reading above 1 indicates more long volume in the market, while a reading below 1 signals short trader dominance.
This positioning seemed to run contrary to the broader trading sentiment in the market. The same has been bearish for the most part, with the overall Binance long-to-short ratio sitting at 0.94.
This suggested that only a small segment of traders may be driving the bullish lean that has been observed, with a majority of the market not in alignment with the same.
Spot buyers add $229,000 this week Finally, spot traders are also actively accumulating CFX, adding another layer to the mixed market picture.
Since 17 May alone, spot traders have acquired $229,000 worth of CFX from the market, building on the previous week’s $11 million in spot net inflows.
This buying activity is evidence of genuine accumulation interest at press time price levels.
Source: CoinGlass And yet, the Accumulation/Distribution indicator shared a more cautious story. It flagged approximately 1.54 billion in CFX distribution volume, indicating that traders may be selling aggressively in aggregate.
With buying conviction present in pockets of the market but distribution dominating the overall volume picture, traders on both the long and short side might have clear reason to proceed with caution.
Final Summary Conflux declined by 11%, but the perpetual funding rate held positive at 0.0056% with Binance top traders by position size recording a long-to-short ratio of 2.23. Spot buyers scooped up $229,000 worth of CFX this week alone, following $11 million in net spot inflows the previous week.
manadia has integrated with Conflux Network. The collaboration connects scalable Layer 1 blockchain infrastructure with on-chain data layers, addressing a real problem in Web3. Decentralized ecosystems have spent years optimizing throughput, but throughput alone doesn’t solve the bigger challenge of securely connecting users, applications, and economies across regions at scale.
Conflux Network handles the infrastructure side. manadia handles the data side. Together, they’re pushing toward verifiable and interoperable value generation across decentralized economies.
What Conflux Network Actually Brings Conflux Network operates as a high-performance Layer 1 powered by a hybrid PoW/PoS architecture. The design makes blockchain coordination fast, cheap, and secure while bridging global and Asian Web3 markets.
That regional bridge matters. Most chains struggle with real cross-regional adoption, and Conflux has reach into Asian markets that others can’t easily access.
The hybrid consensus design of the platform handles security and scaling in ways pure PoW or pure PoS architectures often can’t.
Conflux has been running this infrastructure at production scale for years, which makes it a credible partner for projects that need real performance rather than testnet promises.
manadia x Conflux Network What the Integration Unlocks Before this integration, on-chain ecosystem activity stayed fragmented. Users interacted with applications, transactions happened, value moved, but the data sat in silos that couldn’t easily be combined into useful signals. Manadia’s Potion app changes that.
Now ecosystem activity becomes structured data tied to real network participation, user interaction, and execution outcomes. That structure matters for building applications that respond to what users actually do rather than what they claim to do.
Reputation systems, reward distribution, agent coordination, and analytics all work better when the underlying data is structured rather than scattered across raw transaction logs.
How Users Can Try It Now The integration goes live with a Conflux Network quest on manadia’s Potion app. Users can head to app.mana.app , find the quest, and start exploring the ecosystem.
Interacting with Conflux through Potion earns rewards along the way. The quest format makes the integration practical to test immediately rather than waiting for downstream applications to ship.
For users who want to actually understand what the partnership does, the quest is the fastest way. Click through, interact, see how on-chain activity gets captured as structured signals, and earn for participating.
What’s Ahead Decentralized economies don’t just need to operate. They need to generate value that can be verified and moved across boundaries. That’s the framing both teams are using, and it reflects where Web3 infrastructure is actually heading.
Throughput got solved. The next problem is making on-chain activity legible, interoperable, and economically useful at scale.
manadia and Conflux Network just integrated. Conflux brings high-performance Layer 1 infrastructure with hybrid PoW/PoS consensus and reach across global and Asian Web3 markets. Potion app brings the data layer that turns ecosystem activity into structured signals.
The Conflux Network quest is live on Potion right now at app.mana.app. Decentralized economies don’t just need throughput anymore. They need infrastructure that captures real participation as verifiable, interoperable value.

Conflux Network, a public L1 blockchain, has partnered with Fireblocks, a top digital asset infrastructure provider for institutions. The partnership endeavors to fortify institutional-level blockchain operations. As Conflux Network disclosed in its announcement, the initiative attempts to advance secure management of assets while also pushing forward compliant adoption of the Web3 technology across worldwide markets. Thus, the joint move will permit institutions to manage Conflux-native assets through reliable infrastructure while leveraging improved governance controls.
We're happy to announce we've partnered with @FireblocksHQ.
Fireblocks secures over $14 trillion in digital asset transactions for more than 2,400 institutions worldwide.https://t.co/7jeI5Z3r3q
Institutions can onboard and manage Conflux-based assets right inside the systems…
— Conflux Network Official (@Conflux_Network) June 11, 2026 Conflux Network and Fireblocks Join Forces to Advance Digital Asset Infrastructure for Institutions In partnership with Fireblocks, Conflux Network is strengthening digital asset management for institutional users along with expanding Web3 adoption. Particularly, Conflux is welcoming Fireblocks as an official digital asset infrastructure provider. In this respect, Fireblock, which accounts for over $14T in total digital asset transfers for more than 2,400 entities worldwide, will deliver cutting-edge treasury and custody solutions.
Hence, Conflux will utilize the Multi-Party Computation (MPC)-focused custody and wallet technology of Fireblocks. This development is poised to assist Conflux in securely managing treasury operations parallel to maintaining complete control over digital assets. Additionally, the MPC technology removes the dependence on single points of failure with the distribution of critical management liabilities across diverse parties.
Keeping this in view, the treasury management protocol of Fireblocks lets Conflux access exclusive functional controls, comprehensive audit trails, and policy enforcement capabilities. Additionally, the joint effort will endeavor to broaden institutional utilities across different new blockchain sectors, such as institutional asset management, RWA tokenization, cross-border payments, and stablecoin settlement. While discussing this, Fireblocks’ Head of APAC, Amy Zhang, asserted that the partnership will permit Conflux to assist in the creation of a basis for entities to effectively work and grow in the on-chain setting.
Enabling Convenient Integration of Conventional Finance into On-Chain Financial Networks Moreover, Conflux’s Global Expansion Lead, Christian Oertel, mentioned that the access to the institutional ecosystem of Fireblocks can minimize the barriers that organizations face while entering the Conflux network. At the same time, the executive added, the move encourages broader adoption of regulatory-compliant blockchain applications. Ultimately, this collaboration reflects a shift toward increasing the transferability, manageability, and security of digital assets and their integration into conventional financial systems.

JPMorgan Chase raised its S&P 500 target to 7,800 points, while warning of an overcrowded AI trade.
JPMorgan Chase has raised its year-end outlook for U.S. stocks, while cautioning investors that the overcrowding in AI-related momentum stocks is becoming the market’s most vulnerable segment. The JPMorgan strategy team led by Dubravko Lakos-Bujas lifted its 2026 year-end target for the S&P 500 from 7,600 to 7,800 points, citing continued upward revisions to corporate earnings expectations and nearly doubling of AI-related capital expenditures. The bank noted that consensus earnings expectations for both 2026 and 2027 have been revised up by roughly 10% since the start of the year, a magnitude typically only seen in the recovery phase after a recession or major shock. However, JPMorgan does not interpret this upward revision as a risk-free rally. The bank pointed out that low-quality growth stocks, speculative growth stocks, and second- and third-tier AI-related concept stocks have become "extremely overcrowded," and a pullout of capital could trigger a rapid correction. The strategists also noted that rising equity supply in the coming quarters and potentially tight monetary policy could cap further valuation expansion. On the allocation front, JPMorgan recommends a barbell strategy: holding high-quality growth stocks and stocks directly benefiting from AI on one end, and low-volatility, high-quality stocks as a portfolio buffer on the other. The bank remains bullish on tech, select industrials, utilities, defense, banks, and some healthcare growth stocks, but believes the market’s upward trajectory will not be linear.

Preview: The U.S. May core PCE data will be released at 20:30 tonight, and is projected to hit its highest level since October 2023.
The Fed’s key inflation gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, will be released at 20:30 tonight, with markets expecting a sharp rise in May inflation that could reignite rate hike bets. The headline PCE year-over-year growth rate is projected to hit 4.1% in May, up from 3.8% in April and marking its highest level since 2023. Core PCE, which excludes food and energy, is forecast to rise to 3.4% year-over-year, up from 3.3% in April and its highest reading since October 2023. Core PCE has remained above the Fed’s 2% inflation target since 2021. The recent short-term inflation uptick was driven mainly by surging gasoline prices amid the Iran conflict in May. Oil prices have since edged lower following the signing of a peace deal between the U.S. and Iran, but core inflation has strengthened in tandem, indicating that price pressures are not solely tied to geopolitical oil shocks. Data from the CME FedWatch Tool shows that as of Wednesday, markets are pricing in a 34% probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in July. Aditya Bhave, U.S. economist at Bank of America Securities, noted that the recent inflation rebound stems in part from tariffs and one-off disruptions, but successive supply shocks have eroded the Fed’s patience, while deflationary room in the housing sector has largely been exhausted. Data shows that core PCE dipped to 2.6% in April, its lowest level since 2022, but annualized core PCE growth over the past three and six months has hovered near 3.8%.

The "Retail vs. Wall Street" concept-linked token WEN continues its strong run, rising over 18% in after-hours trading.
According to Bitget market data, Wendy's (WEN) rallied 25.66% in the regular trading session, then climbed an extra 18.96% in after-hours trading, now changing hands at $9.35. Earlier reports noted that Serenity took to Twitter to mock the latest meme stock movement unfolding on Reddit's high-risk trading communities, targeting U.S. fast-food chain Wendy's. The Reddit community's meme warning reads: "If Wendy's goes bankrupt, we'll all be out of jobs, and after losing all our trading money, we'll have to work behind Wendy's trash cans." Serenity later clarified that they hold no positions, only found the activity amusing, and added they were unsure if the campaign would succeed. Wendy's holds a special cultural status on Reddit's WallStreetBets community; for years, "working behind Wendy's trash cans" has been a staple joke among retail investors mocking their trading losses.

Danske Bank: Federal Reserve may raise interest rates at least twice
Danske Bank senior analyst Kirstine Kundby-Nielsen and chief analyst Jens Peter Sorensen stated in a report that they expect the U.S. Federal Reserve to raise interest rates twice, in December 2026 and March 2027 respectively, bringing the federal funds rate to 4.00%-4.25%. "However, we emphasize there is a risk that rate hikes could come earlier and that the number of hikes may exceed two," they said. The first Federal Reserve meeting led by Kevin Warsh sent a clear signal that the Fed is increasingly moving away from forward guidance surrounding future monetary policy decisions. "All signs indicate that (the Fed) is leaning toward having greater discretion in future policy decisions," the Danske Bank analysts added. Source: Jin10
