According to BlockBeats, on July 25, the crypto wallet Phantom announced that it plans to end support for the Monad network starting August 26.

Phantom stated that it will notify Monad users through in-app notifications and provide relevant support documentation to help users migrate or redeem Monad native assets.

The official statement emphasizes that all Monad assets remain accessible. Users can import their restored mnemonic phrase into a Monad-compatible wallet after the transition is complete, or exchange their assets for Wrapped MON on Solana within Phantom.

Phantom states that user funds remain secure throughout the migration process, and assets remain under user control. Because Phantom employs a non-custodial model, on-chain assets belong to the user, and assets are controlled by the user's mnemonic phrase, not the wallet provider.

According to a report by the WSJ on July 25, Robinhood is in talks with cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com to further expand its prediction market business.

Sources familiar with the matter revealed that the two parties plan to integrate Crypto.com's prediction market business into the Robinhood platform, allowing users to participate in "yes/no" prediction contracts offered by Crypto.com directly through the Robinhood trading interface.

Currently, Robinhood primarily relies on partners such as Kalshi to provide prediction market contracts, but as both parties expand their businesses, the partnership is gradually turning into competition.

Since last year, Robinhood has offered Kalshi Events Contracts, allowing users to make predictions and trades based on events such as sports results and Federal Reserve interest rate decisions. In addition, Robinhood has partnered with ForecastEx, a subsidiary of Interactive Brokers, and Rothera, a joint venture with Susquehanna International Group.

Crypto.com launched its independent prediction market platform, OG, in February of this year, and will offer prediction market contracts through its derivatives business starting in late 2024. In late 2025, Crypto.com also announced a partnership with Trump Media to launch prediction market services on the Truth Social platform.

As the prediction market continues to heat up, Kalshi has become one of the major players in the US market. Reports indicate that Kalshi's World Cup-related prediction market has seen trading volume reach $27 billion, while the Super Bowl-related market has seen approximately $1 billion in trading volume.

Analysts believe that the potential partnership between Robinhood and Crypto.com will further intensify competition in the prediction market sector, with traditional brokerages, crypto trading platforms, and professional prediction market platforms vying for this emerging trading space.

According to BlockBeats, on July 25, citing The New York Times, multiple sources revealed that during the NATO summit this month, the Secret Service advised President Trump to change planes when leaving Turkey because the US had discovered that Iranian proxies might launch attacks against Trump and his plane.

The report states that Trump arrived in Ankara, Turkey, aboard a new Boeing 747-8 donated by Qatar, but this aircraft is not yet equipped with the same level of advanced defense systems as the traditional Air Force One. After the US government identified the threat, the Secret Service advised Trump to travel on the older version of Air Force One.

Sources familiar with the matter said the threat was not specifically aimed at the aircraft donated by Qatar, but at Trump himself and any aircraft he travels on.

Previously, Trump stated that the aircraft replacement was to allow US military personnel stationed in the UK to tour the new planes and denied any connection to security concerns. However, The New York Times reported that the decision to replace the aircraft was actually related to a security assessment.

The report indicates that the Boeing 747-8 donated by Qatar is still planned for future upgrades to enhance the security capabilities required for the presidential aircraft. The White House stated that the aircraft is "fully capable of ensuring the safety of the president's travels" and will undergo an additional month of upgrades this fall.

This incident occurred amid escalating tensions between the US and Iran. Reports indicate that US officials had previously received intelligence suggesting Iran might be planning an operation against Trump, and the US remains highly vigilant regarding the security threat level posed to the president.

According to BlockBeats, on July 25th, data showed that since January 2004, the growth rate of broad money supply (M2) in major developed economies worldwide has significantly exceeded the growth rate of nominal GDP.

Canada: M2 grew by 368%, nominal GDP grew by 159%.

United States: M2 grew by 279%, GDP grew by 171%.

France: M2 grew by 258%, GDP grew by 84%.

Eurozone: M2 growth 211%, GDP growth 102%

Japan: M2 grew by 90%, GDP grew by 25%.

Analysts believe that low interest rates, quantitative easing, and the massive fiscal stimulus of 2020-2021 over the past 20 years have fueled a sustained expansion of global liquidity. Central banks increasing the money supply, governments expanding deficits, and banks expanding credit have collectively created a long-term environment of excess money supply.

Some economists believe that due to the declining velocity of money and the large influx of funds into financial asset markets, excess liquidity is more reflected in rising asset prices than in directly pushing up consumer prices. However, in the long run, the continued outpacing of economic output in money supply growth may lead to asset inflation, currency devaluation, or future consumer inflationary pressures.

Japan is considered an extreme case: its money supply has increased significantly, but its GDP has remained low for a long time, and its inflation level has remained low. Canada, on the other hand, represents the other end of the spectrum, with monetary expansion highly correlated with a real estate boom and rising household leverage.
