Industry Updates
Crypto Bank Augustus Raises $180 Million at a $1 Billion Valuation
According to CoinDesk, crypto bank Augustus has raised $180 million at a valuation of $1 billion. The round was led by Tiger Global Management, with participation from Hummingbird, QED, and the founding teams of several fintech companies. Augustus plans to build a federally chartered clearing bank connecting traditional payment systems with stablecoin networks, providing financial institutions with around-the-clock cross-border clearing infrastructure without issuing its own stablecoin. The company currently provides euro clearing services through its regulated Finnish entity and processes billions of euros in transactions annually.
Moonshot AI Seeks Pre-IPO Financing at a $50 Billion Valuation
According to Jin10, artificial intelligence company Moonshot AI is in discussions to raise Pre-IPO financing at a valuation of $50 billion. If completed, the transaction could further increase market attention on the commercialization capabilities and listing prospects of leading large-language-model companies. Pre-IPO funding is commonly used to support research and development, computing-power procurement, talent expansion, and international growth while establishing a valuation benchmark for a potential public listing. The talks also indicate that investors remain willing to assign high valuations to AI companies with established models, products, and user scale.
MoneyGram Uses Blockchain Infrastructure to Modernize Cross-Border Payments
According to Odaily Planet Daily, MoneyGram CEO Anthony Soohoo said the company is using blockchain infrastructure to make cross-border remittances faster, less expensive, and more transparent while keeping the underlying technology largely invisible to customers. Stellar remains MoneyGram’s primary blockchain partner. The company is also expanding its blockchain presence by operating validators on Solana and Tempo and plans to develop additional financial products around the MGUSD stablecoin. The strategy shows that traditional remittance companies are increasingly moving blockchain technology from experimental projects into practical payment infrastructure.
Ethereum Privacy Project Aztec Launches v5 Execution Layer Alpha
According to The Block, Ethereum privacy infrastructure project Aztec has launched the complete Alpha version of its v5 Execution Layer. The release introduces cryptographic and zero-knowledge-proof optimizations designed to reduce the computational requirements of local client-side proving. Aztec aims to enable zero-knowledge proofs to be generated within seconds on smartphones and consumer-grade laptops, allowing users to complete privacy transaction proofs without relying on large servers. If the performance is validated under real-world conditions, the upgrade could lower hardware barriers for privacy applications and bring client-side proving technology to a broader consumer audience.
Ionic Digital Receives SEC Effectiveness Approval and Will List on Nasdaq on July 28
According to The Energy Mag, Bitcoin mining company Ionic Digital has received effectiveness approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for its registration statement. The company expects to begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on July 28, 2026, under the ticker “IOND.” The transaction will take the form of a direct listing rather than a traditional initial public offering. Ionic Digital will not issue new shares or raise capital through the listing, but existing registered shareholders will be permitted to sell their holdings in the public market. The listing will provide liquidity to current shareholders, including investors who received company shares through the Celsius Network bankruptcy restructuring.
Galaxy Digital Launches Bitcoin Quantum-Security Initiative With Up to $5 Million in Developer Grants
According to Decrypt, Galaxy Digital has launched a Bitcoin quantum-readiness initiative that will provide up to $5 million in developer grants while establishing a quantum advisory committee and conducting related research. The initiative will focus on post-quantum cryptographic solutions intended to address the possibility that future quantum computers could use Shor’s algorithm to break elliptic-curve cryptography. Bitcoin held in older or repeatedly used addresses may face greater potential exposure because their public keys have already been revealed. Galaxy aims to fund research and migration tools in advance, giving the Bitcoin ecosystem more time to prepare for a possible cryptographic transition.
Jito Launches Self-Custodial Trading Platform JTX With Support for Solana Tokens and RWAs
According to The Block, Solana infrastructure developer Jito Labs has launched JTX, a self-custodial on-chain trading platform designed for professional traders. At launch, the platform supports spot trading in cbBTC, SOL, HYPE, Meme tokens, tokenized equities, and exchange-traded funds. It also offers professional trading tools such as limit orders, automated execution, and conditional orders. Users retain control of their private keys, while transactions settle directly on-chain without relying on a centralized custodian. JTX aims to combine self-custody with more efficient trade execution and bring a traditional-finance-style trading experience to the Solana ecosystem.
Kalshi Applies to the CFTC to Launch Gold-Linked Perpetual Futures
According to Odaily Planet Daily, prediction-market platform Kalshi has applied to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission to launch perpetual futures linked to gold. Unlike traditional futures contracts with fixed expiration dates, perpetual contracts may be held continuously and generally use fees or price-adjustment mechanisms to keep contract prices aligned with the underlying asset. The application shows that Kalshi is attempting to expand beyond event-based prediction contracts into commodity derivatives. Whether the product can launch will depend on regulatory review, contract design, and investor-protection arrangements, while volatility in gold prices could also amplify the risks associated with leveraged trading.

Security Alert
Recently, users should remain alert to wallet-drainer campaigns that use fake airdrops, fraudulent customer-service accounts, search advertisements, QR codes, or compromised social-media profiles to direct victims to counterfeit DApps and induce them to sign malicious approvals. Once a user signs an unfamiliar Permit request, unlimited token approval, or asset-transfer authorization, attackers may be able to move the approved tokens without further confirmation, and such losses are generally difficult to recover. SlowMist has noted that phishing websites often gain traffic through compromised official accounts, expired invitation links, and paid advertisements, while CertiK has identified QR-code phishing as a key attack method requiring attention in 2026. Before interacting with an airdrop or new project, users should manually verify the domain and contract address, reject signatures they do not fully understand, limit token-approval amounts, regularly revoke unused permissions, and use a separate wallet containing only a small amount of assets for higher-risk interactions.
