Ethereum fell by 25.2% in Q2, marking the first time in its history that it has closed lower for three consecutive quarters.

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.

The WEMIX team has issued an announcement stating it is urgently investigating a potential security incident involving the WEMIX 3.0 network.

Jiang Zhuoer, founder of BTC.TOP (B.TOP), posted that Changxin Memory will likely open higher, surge then pull back, hitting its all-time high on the first trading day. The ideal play is to buy at the A-share opening, sell during the midday H-share-driven rally, then sell on A-share and buy back on H-share the next day to square positions. Without H-share exposure, investors will be trapped by the T+1 trading rule, possibly holding the stock for a lifetime just like PetroChina.
