🤖 Chinese AI Startup DeepSeek Developing Own AI Chip

DeepSeek is developing its own AI chip, a ​push that could reduce its reliance on Nvidia and Huawei chips, which it has depended on to train and run its globally popular models. The chip is designed ‌for inference — the stage of AI computing in which a trained model generates responses for users — rather than for training new models.

If successful, DeepSeek's expansion into semiconductor development would mark a major strategic shift for a company widely hailed in China as the country's AI champion, potentially adding to challenges faced by Chinese tech giant Huawei.

🇧🇾 Belarus’ Hi-Tech Park working on new business types to add to cryptocurrency legislation

The Hi-Tech Park is working on introducing new types of activities into cryptocurrency legislation, according to Advisor of the Secretariat of the HTP Supervisory Board Filipp Petkevich.

➡️Filipp Petkevich noted that Belarus has created a comprehensive infrastructure so that any user can buy and sell cryptocurrencies, and derive a profit and income legally – taking into account the current restrictions that are separate for legal persons and natural persons.

“Legislation introducing a new type of activity – a crypto bank – is about to come into force. This is a new entity combining an HTP crypto-resident and a bank under the control of the National Bank,” he said.


‼️ On 16 January, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko signed Decree No. 19, authorising the operation of crypto banks and regulating activities involving digital tokens. From 18 July 2026, the use of digital assets for settlements between residents and non-residents is officially permitted in the Republic of Belarus.

➡️ The further development and discussion of the legislation include the introduction of new types of activities, which were previously unavailable.

❗️“As of today we are discussing the so-called copytrading when a user can copy the transactions of another user, trust management, airdrops, and many other things we are discussing,” Filipp Petkevich remarked.


😄According to the advisor, this industry is notable for the fact that the interests of the state and the law-abiding user are aligned.

Both the state and users are interested in having more ways to legally and safely invest their funds, use technology innovations while reducing the risk of falling victim to scammers to an absolute minimum,” he stated.

🤑 Ripple's Stuart Alderoty urges US Congress to create clear crypto regulations to boost growth and competitiveness.

Stuart Alderoty, Ripple executive and National Cryptocurrency Association (NCA) president, is pressing US lawmakers to stop sidelining the crypto industry and establish clear regulatory frameworks.

➡️The current regulatory uncertainty harms the US's global competitiveness and stifles innovation by forcing companies to operate in legal gray zones or move offshore, aсcording to Alderoty. He emphasizes that clear rules would protect consumers, support smaller startups, and unlock economic growth.

❗️His case rests on data from the NCA. According to the NCA's 2026 State of Crypto Holders Report, more than 67 million Americans now own cryptocurrency, an increase of 12 million from 2025. The holder base now spans working and middle-class households, not just wealthy early adopters.

Alderoty calls for serious engagement between policymakers and the crypto sector to ensure the US remains a leader in the digital economy. His remarks come as lawmakers continue debating the CLARITY Act. 🚀

🔥 SEC Unveils Sweeping 2026 Agenda to Reshape Crypto and Capital Markets

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is laying the groundwork for cryptocurrency rulemaking before the end of the year, with a blueprint to modify its rules for exchanges and broker dealers.

❗️On Tuesday, the SEC released its 2026 Regulatory Agenda, which includes proposed changes from reducing compliance burdens for emerging companies to allowing companies to file reports twice a year to one of the agency's biggest regulatory priorities — crypto.

🟠The SEC is considering proposing to amend a rule that requires brokers to maintain a minimum amount of liquid capital as well as another designed to protect customer assets if a broker becomes insolvent. The agency is also seeking to modify recordkeeping rules for broker dealers, with all three aimed at addressing "the application of these rules to crypto assets," the agency said.

🟠The SEC is also considering proposing new changes to its exchange rules.

"The proposed rules may provide greater certainty to the market, facilitate capital formation, and accommodate innovation within the crypto asset markets while, at the same time, ensuring that investors are adequately protected and provided with the information they need to make informed investment decisions," the agency said in the agenda.

🤑 The Zipper Upgrade (Protocol 27) is almost here 🚀

‼️Tomorrow, July 8 at 1pm ET (17:00 UTC), Stellar validators vote on whether to upgrade Mainnet to Zipper.

⬇️ But before that happens, here's what you should know:

🟠With Zipper, custom accounts can delegate authentication to other addresses as a first-class protocol mechanism (CAP-0071-01). Every delegated signer bundles into a single authorization entry, so transactions shrink and simulation no longer takes multiple passes.

🟠If you've built smart accounts on Soroban, you know the old way: one auth entry per signer, manual payload construction, simulation gymnastics.🔣Zipper replaces all of it with two host functions and one new credential type.

🟠The payoff is what becomes practical to ship: social recovery, delegated signing keys, modular multisig. This is also foundational for CAP-0072,🔣which brings contract-based authentication to classic G-accounts (in a future protocol).

🟠Zipper also introduces SOROBAN_CREDENTIALS_ADDRESS_V2, which binds the signer's address into the signature payload and closes a narrow replay vector. The current credential type stays valid until Protocol 28, so you have a full cycle to migrate.

🌟The expanded IBM z17 and LinuxONE 5 portfolios now offer a wide range of deployment options, engineered with the same flagship performance, security, and ecosystem standards. New single frame and rack mount options provide additional ways for organizations to position their infrastructure where it fits best for their business needs, helping support flexibility and operational efficiency.

Organizations processing highly sensitive workloads at scale are facing record-low data center vacancy and rental rates exceeding $400 per kW/month, according to CBRE’s 2026 Global Data Center Trend Report. At the same time, they need infrastructure that can optimize their data center footprint while prioritizing the resilience required for their core applications.

❗️Enterprises can use IBM z17 and LinuxONE 5 rack mount and single frame systems to address these challenges, optimizing their data center real estate to meet today’s realities.

“With these new IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE systems, we’re making it easier to run workloads where they make the most sense, while opening the door for a wider range of organizations to benefit from these technologies for the first time,“ said Tom McPherson, General Manager, IBM Z and LinuxONE.

🇰🇿President Tokayev Signs Decree to Accelerate Kazakhstan’s Digital Asset Industry

Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has signed a decree titled “On Measures to Stimulate and Develop the Digital Asset Industry in the Republic of Kazakhstan.”

⬇️ The document aims to further develop the legal and economic conditions for the market of digital assets, attracting investment, and strengthening Kazakhstan's position as a regional hub for digital technologies.

🟠Under the new rules, licensing of unsecured digital asset exchange operators and registration of trading and financial asset platforms are carried out by submitting documents to the National Bank of Kazakhstan.

🟠The decree introduces a mechanism for using associated petroleum gas and natural gas produced at oil and gas fields to generate electricity independently. This electricity may be used for digital mining where these resources are not required to meet state needs.

🟠The decree also provides for the development of mechanisms enabling the use of digital assets and stablecoins for cross-border settlements, as well as the creation of conditions for the voluntary disclosure of digital assets previously held on unregulated foreign platforms, followed by their transfer to platforms operated by domestic service providers.

🟠Income earned by individuals from transactions involving digital assets conducted through Kazakhstan's regulated digital asset infrastructure will be exempt from personal income tax.

❗️The legislative foundations for state regulation of the circulation of digital assets were laid by the Law "On digital assets in the Republic of Kazakhstan." Since May 1, 2026, a systematic regulation of digital asset circulation has been introduced in the country.

INSTITUTIONAL STABLECOIN ADOPTION FUELS XLM PAYMENTS BOOM ON STELLAR
July 7, 2026

•Institutional stablecoin adoption
is accelerating on Stellar, with growing support from projects involving USDC, MoneyGram and PayPal, reinforcing the network’s role in digital payments.

More than $3.3 billion in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) now operate on Stellar, strengthening its position as a blockchain for financial settlement.

Protocol 27 aims to improve smart accounts, wallet functionality and developer tools, supporting the next stage of Stellar’s ecosystem growth.

Institutional stablecoin adoption continues to expand across the crypto sector, and Stellar is becoming one of the primary networks benefiting from that trend. The growing use of blockchain-based payment infrastructure has placed XLM payments at the center of discussions about efficient digital finance, while tokenized assets and network upgrades reinforce Stellar’s position as a platform built for real-world financial applications

INSTITUTIONAL STABLECOIN ADOPTION STRENGTHENS XLM PAYMENTS

Institutional demand for stablecoin infrastructure has become one of the strongest drivers behind Stellar’s recent growth. Built around fast settlement and low transaction costs, the network has established itself as an attractive option for companies seeking blockchain payment rails that comply with existing financial regulations.

USDC remains one of the largest stablecoins operating on Stellar, supporting payment initiatives across multiple markets. Partnerships involving MoneyGram have demonstrated how blockchain can simplify international transfers by connecting digital assets with local cash services. Meanwhile, PayPal’s expansion to Stellar adds another recognized financial brand to the ecosystem, increasing confidence in the network’s payment capabilities.

Stellar has consistently prioritized real-world financial applications instead of focusing primarily on speculative activity. That strategy has allowed payment providers and fintech companies to build services that connect traditional finance with blockchain technology while maintaining efficient and affordable settlement.
