AMD saw a short-term drop of more than 5%, while Helios has entered full-scale production and is nearing shipment.

According to PolyBeats' monitoring, SpaceX has just released the official live stream page for its 13th Starship flight test, which lists the live stream start time as 6:14 AM (UTC+8) on the 24th. On prediction market Polymarket, the "yes" probability for the question "Will SpaceX launch Starship today (local time 23rd)?" is currently at 64%, while the probability of a launch this month stands at 91%. Starship Flight 13 previously aborted automatically roughly 1 second before clearing the launch pad on the morning of July 17. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), in its latest operational plan released today, continues to list SpaceX’s 13th Starship flight test as a scheduled task for the day. Flight 13 is now targeted for launch as early as 17:45 local time in Texas, or 06:45 Beijing time on July 24, with a 90-minute launch window extending to 08:15 Beijing time. Real-time data from Next Spaceflight shows all 19 launch preparation conditions—including rocket testing, stacking, airspace notices, and maritime warnings—have been completed, with no new technical faults or delay announcements reported to date. --------------------------------- Be among the first to glimpse the future.

Citrini analyst Jukan, citing recent core views from DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng, pointed out that AI-driven code generation and high-level programming languages like TileLang are rapidly lowering entry barriers to the CUDA ecosystem. While DeepSeek uses NVIDIA GPUs to train its V3 model, it has significantly reduced its reliance on NVIDIA’s software ecosystem via its self-developed compiler and TileLang environment. Earlier, Liang projected that porting TileLang and DeepSeek’s compiler to Huawei chips would largely resolve China’s chip ecosystem issues in about a year, with production capacity being the only remaining bottleneck. Liang quantified the China-U.S. chip gap: hardware efficiency is roughly four times lower, and there is a roughly two-year time lag. He also revealed that DeepSeek is working closely with Huawei, expecting to obtain around 16,000 Huawei AI chips, and the Huawei 950 SuperNode can replace the workloads of NVIDIA’s GB200/GB300. Analyst Jukan characterized this as "the end of CUDA’s moat" and holds a highly bearish outlook on NVIDIA. Jukan added that this line of reasoning is precisely one reason for being bullish on AMD: advances in coding AI will also naturally accelerate the development of the ROCm ecosystem, helping narrow its gap with CUDA. When AMD recently invested in Anthropic, it announced it would actively use Claude Code for chip design and software engineering. Overall, advances in AI programming tools are systematically eroding NVIDIA’s competitive barriers from the software side. China’s chip ecosystem issues will be rapidly resolved thanks to code generation capabilities, while AMD will benefit from ROCm’s accelerated growth. The CUDA moat NVIDIA relies on to retain developer loyalty is facing a two-pronged attack, and catching up in hardware efficiency and production capacity is only a matter of time.

AMD CEO Lisa Su stated that the AI accelerator market is projected to reach $1.4 trillion by 2030. AI accelerators are specialized hardware designed for AI computing tasks such as matrix operations in deep learning, capable of processing massive parallel workloads with far higher efficiency and energy efficiency than traditional CPUs. Mainstream types include NVIDIA GPUs and custom ASICs from vendors like Broadcom, which serve as the core computing backbone driving large model training and inference.

On-chain visualization analytics platform Bubblemaps noted that after BitMEX announced it would officially cease operations in September, its platform token BMEX plummeted by roughly 95% today. However, per the token economics model released in 2021, 92% of BMEX tokens are locked in vesting contracts, with only 8% allocated at launch — 5% via airdrop and 3% for product and liquidity purposes. On-chain data shows the only token withdrawal occurred on November 2, 2022, when the product and liquidity address received 63.75 million BMEX. Meanwhile, approximately 75% of tokens originally earmarked for employee incentives, ecosystem growth, and long-term reserves have never been withdrawn and have never entered circulation. Bubblemaps added that this is not necessarily a violation, but per the publicly disclosed allocation plan, these large portions of tokens have indeed never been actually distributed. BlockBeats previously reported that notably, the platform’s current handling of BMEX tokens is very limited, with no additional compensation or special arrangements. The only action explicitly mentioned in BitMEX’s official shutdown announcement today is that the platform has immediately unstaked all staked BMEX tokens and returned them directly to holders’ accounts. Per BitMEX’s earlier announcement, BMEX is a pure platform utility token, not equity, debt, or an asset with promised returns. The official disclaimer states that BMEX is only used for features such as trading fee discounts and staking rewards on the BitMEX platform, does not constitute an investment, and the platform assumes no refund or exchange liability.

The UK’s HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has disclosed that since launching its special crypto tax compliance drive in November 2023, it has reached disclosure settlements with 502 crypto investors over the past two years, recovering more than ￡8 million in taxes, for an average settlement of roughly ￡16,600 per case. Of these, 280 settlements were recorded in the 2024/25 fiscal year involving ￡3.54 million, while 222 settlements in the 2025/26 fiscal year brought in around ￡4.78 million. Meanwhile, the number of "reminder letters" HMRC sent to crypto investors has surged sharply: 64,982 in the 2024/25 fiscal year, a 680% jump from three to four years earlier. As the UK joins the OECD’s Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), crypto service providers will be required to compulsorily collect and report user identity and transaction data to authorities starting January 2026, further limiting investors’ ability to conceal gains. Currently, around 8% of UK adults (approximately 4.5 million people) hold crypto assets.

U.S. Trade Representative Greer is set to release a tariff announcement today. Notably, the new tariff announcement is an extension of previous tariffs. Earlier, Trump said he would implement new tariffs on dozens of countries as soon as this week, and the current 10% global tariff is set to expire this week. The U.S. government is considering maintaining the 10% tariff rate for many countries, while exploring legal avenues to impose higher tariffs on others.
