ZachXBT: Hardware wallets are completely vulnerable. BTC is stable around $65,000

Encryption investigator ZachXBT criticized the hardware wallet on Thursday, stating that it was unreliable in signing transactions or storing important funds. In his view, all hardware wallet solutions were currently inadequate in terms of safety and availability, rendering them unsuitable for high-risk operations. He suggested the use of a dedicated iPhone as a signature device only for wallet purposes, an approach that provided better control and fewer loopholes. He also noted that Ledger was the worst option and that frequent Ledger Live updates often undermined basic functions. The post quickly generated discussions on encrypted social media, and users shared their experiences with the hardware wallet。

AGENCY: LOWER THAN EXPECTED PPI WILL HELP THE FEDERAL RESERVE MAINTAIN INTEREST RATES

On 16 July, Steve Rick, Chief Economist of TruStage, reported that United States PPI data were below market expectations and a positive development for the Fed. “This suggests that inflation may be coming closer to the Fed's goal and may further reinforce market expectations that policymakers can maintain interest rates unchanged without considering further interest rates hikes.” He noted that while the fight against inflation had not yet been completed, the weakening of price data meant that the Federal Reserve had taken another step towards achieving a better balance between price stability and maintaining a healthy labour market.

Visa report: AI agent payments are in a practical phase and stabilization currency is more suitable for HF small payments

On 16 July, Visa and Artemis jointly published a study, Agenic Payments from the Ground Up, which points out that AI proxy payments are moving from theory to real business scenes, divided into macro- and micro-business. Macro-business means that the agent performs, on behalf of humans, such as bookings, subscriptions, etc., similar to the traditional electrician; micro-business refers to small payments of HF between software, usually less than $1. The report analyses two machine-based payment agreements: x402 has processed approximately $150 million of adjusted transactions since its launch in May 2025, involving 109.6 million transactions, mainly in Base, Solana and Polygon; the MPP, constructed by Stripe and Tempo, has settled approximately $25,000 since it went online in mid-March 2026, involving approximately 115,000 transactions. The two agreements paid only a few cents on average, while the fixed transaction fee per transaction for traditional credit cards was much higher and could not support such a small payment scenario. In terms of settlement, traditional card payments apply to macro-business scenarios, and stable currency is more suitable for small payments in micro-business. The report suggests that future trends are two ways of integrating rather than one. The key challenge for AI agents to pay lies in the attribution of responsibility — it is not possible to determine who is responsible when the agent is wrong — and the existing legal framework does not yet cover such scenarios。
