#HSCLifeRules# by Ran Yi (@ranyi1115), Co-Founder, @OrderlyNetwork from HSC Ho Chi Minh August 15 The apps we use today have an expiration date. As personal AI agents take over daily tasks, most interfaces will collapse into APIs feeding those agents - and crypto services that don't build for agent consumption now will be invisible to the biggest user base of the next few years "If you have a crypto service, you definitely want to have your set of skills, MCP, and such to cater towards agents - that'll be the biggest consumers in the upcoming years, way bigger than humans"

Traditional financial institutions are moving on-chain at speed—but the moment a transaction executes on a blockchain, it's final. That demands a fundamentally different approach to security than anything they've managed before. We spoke with Shawn Lim, VP of Asia at @HypernativeLabs, the platform securing over 350 institutions and protocols across 80-plus blockchains, with more than $3B in client funds protected. He unpacks what institutions consistently underestimate when entering Web3, how pre-execution threat detection works in practice, and what it will take for security to become a foundation for adoption rather than a barrier to it. Read the full interview:

The future of financial infrastructure will be defined by platforms that meet institutional standards. During the @mpost_io AMA, @x10xalex shared how Rayls combines privacy, compliance, interoperability, and near-instant settlement to deliver the next generation of financial rails. Real adoption starts with infrastructure institutions can trust.

🔍 #Bitcoin# fell 20% to under $60,000 in June, its worst monthly performance since the same month in 2022. On June 24, $BTC dropped to $59,060 as the US DXY surged to a 13-month high. The digital asset opened July below $60,000. Over the past 30 days, $BTC lost 19.1%, according to @coingecko. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index sits at 11 — extreme fear. On the charts, June's crash looks even more brutal than the numbers suggest: the market didn't just decline, it broke through key support levels in an accelerated slide. Traders are now watching whether $BTC can reclaim lost ground and stabilize above local lows.

Our CEO @ReidPax is on the panel for this one 🎙️ The topic could not be more relevant to what we are building: why onchain finance still ends offchain, and what it takes to finally close that last mile. Sharp lineup, real conversation. Catch Ozak AI in the room 🔥 Thursday, July 2, 3 PM GST 🗓️

🇺🇸 Donald Trump's 2025 financial disclosure, released Tuesday by the US @OfficeGovEthics, shows his #crypto# ventures brought in more than $1.4B last year — outpacing income from his real estate and resort businesses. The biggest single source: $635M in royalties from a license agreement with Celebration Coins, tied to the $TRUMP memecoin. @worldlibertyfi's token sales added another $588M.
