According to The Wall Street Journal, NVIDIA (NVDA.O) is in negotiations to provide OpenAI with approximately $250 billion in financial guarantees to support a massive data center project—one of the largest financial transactions in the U.S. artificial intelligence boom. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that NVIDIA’s guarantee will help OpenAI lease the 10-gigawatt (GW) data center project SoftBank is developing in southern Ohio. The total cost of the project, including chips deployed within the data center, could exceed $500 billion, making it the largest data center project ever announced. The project’s power is controlled by the U.S. government, with Japan providing separate funding under a recent trade agreement. U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo participated in power allocation decisions. Under the arrangement, NVIDIA will guarantee a series of financing instruments to strengthen lenders’ confidence in the project’s funding security. Terms have not been finalized, and the deal could still collapse. The $250 billion guarantee will cover debt required for the data center’s leasing and construction, but not NVIDIA’s chips installed in the facility.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview that the conflict between Israel and Iran will only end when Iran’s current regime is overthrown or so weakened that it is forced to abandon its nuclear program. He emphasized that Iran’s nuclear program must be terminated "regardless of whether an agreement is reached". When discussing the planned meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, Netanyahu noted that the meeting will not focus on delivering new intelligence, as the military and intelligence agencies of the U.S. and Israel are already in close cooperation. He stated that the purpose of the trip is to discuss with Trump and understand his thinking, adding that the development of the situation largely depends on Trump’s final decision. In addition, Netanyahu also commented on the U.S.-Saudi nuclear deal. He expressed agreement with Trump’s stance that "Saudi Arabia can only access a civilian nuclear deal", and stressed that both Israel and the U.S. will never allow Saudi Arabia to possess a military nuclear program. Netanyahu also said he will "definitely" attend the United Nations General Assembly to be held in New York in September. (CCTV News)

Ethereum staking protocol Lido stated on X that today’s stETH rebase has been completed as expected, with ETH rewards omitted yesterday due to calculation gaps now fully restored. The corresponding annual percentage rate (APR) stands at approximately 2.29%. The protocol’s oracle has also been updated and audited; the new version will boost report processing speed and enable faster root cause identification for similar future issues. Regarding yesterday’s reward calculation anomaly, Lido said contributors are still conducting root cause analysis, with additional investigation details to be shared on its official forum and social media channels. User funds were never at risk throughout the entire incident. The initial assessment points to a special edge case as the likely cause: a validator in pending deposit status was omitted from yesterday’s reward report, resulting in some staking rewards not being included in calculations. Lido noted that a full incident post-mortem report will be released in the coming days to further detail the root cause, remediation measures, and subsequent improvement plans.

Mango Labs founder @dov_wo shared his market views, noting he has gone long on Changxin Technology, calling it a rare 1:5 risk-reward opportunity with a 20% downside and 100% upside, a 5-to-1 payout. @dov_wo outlined his bullish thesis as follows: low float ratio, regulatory tailwinds, and institutional optimism for its investment opportunity at a market cap below $3 trillion. He advised on the strategy: if Changxin gaps up tomorrow, close the position to lock in profits directly; if it gaps down then rallies, wait patiently and wrap up the trade within 3 days.
