Sam Altman warns: 'AI is in a bubble'
In a recent interview, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI and founder of Worldcoin, admitted that the artificial intelligence sector is in a speculative bubble. "Are we in a phase where investors as a whole are overly excited about AI? My opinion is: yes" – stated Altman during a conversation with journalists. He compared the current situation to the dot-com bubble of the 90s, emphasizing that despite the exaggeration, AI technology has real value and long-term growth potential.
Altman noted that bubbles occur when "smart people become overly excited about a kernel of truth." In the context of cryptocurrencies, his words raise concerns among investors in AI tokens, such as those related to decentralized AI projects. Many of them may be overvalued, based mainly on hype, without solid economic foundations. Experts warn that the costs of developing AI – including data centers and computations – are enormous, and profitability remains uncertain.

Ethereum ETFs: record inflows of >$1 billion (August 11, 2025)
US spot ETFs for Ethereum recorded a record one-day net inflow of $1.019 billion on August 11, 2025. BlackRock iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) led with an inflow of approximately $640 million. Fidelity FETH added about $276.9 million, while other funds contributed to the total amount. Since the launch of ETFs, the total inflow to ETH products has been around $10.8 billion, and the total assets of ETFs are approximately $25.7 billion.
At the same time, the price of ETH rebounded to levels above $4,300 — the highest since December 2021, demonstrating the correlation between institutional demand and valuation. This is a signal of increasing institutional adoption of Ethereum: further inflows, trading volumes, and ETH reserves on exchanges are factors that could trigger price movements and potentially provoke a 'short squeeze'.

US Data — 4 Reports That Could Change the Game This Week
Bitcoin is trading around $122k — but further movement may depend on several important macroeconomic readings from the United States — CPI, PPI, retail sales, and unemployment claims.
1.CPI (August 12) — expectation: 2.8% y/y (June: 2.7%). A higher than expected reading could strengthen the dollar and pressure BTC; a lower reading could boost the cryptocurrency market.
2.PPI (August 14) — producer price index, which often leads CPI; rising production costs may maintain a more restrictive Fed policy.

Sui under fire for supporting the $162 million recovery plan for Cetus.
The Sui blockchain came under fire after it supported the Cetus Protocol proposal to recover $162 million in frozen assets following the May attack on the platform, which resulted in the theft of over $223 million. In response, more than a third of Sui validators blocked transactions from two addresses suspected of ties to the attacker, allowing for the 'freezing' of a significant portion of the stolen funds.
Cetus proposed a plan to recover $162 million without reversing the blockchain history or erasing previous transactions, calling on the community to vote on a protocol update. While the Sui Foundation declared neutrality and merely supported conducting an internal vote, this decision raised doubts about the integrity of decentralization and the principle of immutability of the blockchain.

Texas on the Brink of Bitcoin Reserve – SB 21 Awaits Governor's Signature
On Wednesday, May 21, 2025, the Texas state legislature passed SB 21, creating a state Bitcoin reserve. After the third reading in the Legislative House, the act passed by a vote of 101–42 and is now on Governor Greg Abbott's desk, whose signature is needed for the provisions to take effect.
If Governor Abbott approves SB 21, Texas will become the second state in the USA – after New Hampshire – to maintain cryptocurrency reserves at the public level.
Following the New Hampshire initiative, the law provides for the possibility of including other tokens in the reserve, provided that their market capitalization remains at least 500 billion USD for 24 months.

Traditional financial institutions are massively accumulating Bitcoin
In recent months, more and more companies from the traditional financial sector (TradFi) – inspired by MicroStrategy's strategy – have begun to allocate part of their reserves to BTC, viewing it not only as a speculative instrument but primarily as a hedge against macroeconomic instability. This trend is visible on all continents, from Latin America to the Middle East, Asia, and the USA.

Inflation weaker than expected – CPI in the U.S. at 2.3%
In April 2025, the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) fell to 2.3% year-on-year, slightly below the projected 2.4%, which triggered a moderately bullish reaction in the cryptocurrency market. The price of Bitcoin remained stable around $103,800, and investors are increasingly betting on rate cuts by the Fed as early as June.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released the CPI report for April on May 13, showing that inflation rose by 2.3% year-on-year (forecast: +2.4%), while the core index (Core CPI) remained at 2.8% in line with analysts' expectations. The decline in consumer price dynamics is seen as a signal of a potential cooling of inflationary pressures.
