The focus has been on promoting four key shifts in AI applications: First, the application scope has shifted from key pilot projects to full coverage, now encompassing all supervised enterprises; second, the focus has shifted from emphasizing computing power supply to a balance between computing power networking, technological breakthroughs, and practical application scenarios, placing greater emphasis on the compatibility of AI technology with real business operations, data, and processes; third, the application form has shifted from question-and-answer assistance to intelligent execution, with applications such as intelligent agents and digital labor being rapidly embedded in investment research and consulting, architectural design, and supply chain scheduling; and fourth, the implementation method has shifted from decentralized implementation to ecosystem collaboration, with resources such as computing power, corpora, models, scenarios, and talent being rapidly coordinated.Turkish Vice President Yilmaz: Due to supply-side pressures from the war with Iran, the strong downward trend in inflation has temporarily stabilized.September 6th - According to Reuters, two sources familiar with the discussions revealed that OPEC+ will maintain its October oil production policy at its meeting on Sunday, as the oil-producing organization needs to agree on new quotas before deciding on its next production move. OPEC+ currently has a layer of production cuts in place, covering most of its 21 member countries, until the end of 2026. Before deciding how to gradually exit the production cuts and return production to the market, the organization needs to review member countries oil production capacity to set a production baseline for 2027 – which will serve as the basis for quotas. Sources previously indicated that this discussion might take place later in 2026, suggesting that OPEC+ might pause production increases in the fourth quarter.On September 6, local time, the Lebanese Ministry of Public Healths Emergency Operations Center issued a statement saying that an attack launched by the Israeli Defense Forces in southern Lebanon that morning had resulted in 4 deaths and 20 injuries.

Crypto Market Sell-off Delivers NFT Trading Volume Boost

The crypto market sell-off has aided the growth of OpenSea NFT trading volumes.


Trading volumes on OpenSea fell in February and March as the crypto market rose.


As more mainstream businesses join the NFT area, the prognosis for the NFT market remains positive.

NFTs and OpenSea had a strong start to 2022, with trade volumes reaching an all-time high in January. The upward trend provided a positive picture for the next year.


ETH trade volume reached $4.97 billion in January, according to Dune Analytics statistics. The previous all-time high for OpenSea came in August, when trade volume reached $3.42 billion.


However, the crypto market's recovery from late January lows to early April highs was underwhelming in February and March.


Conditions in the NFT market look to be improving, with the recent crypto market sell-off providing support.

Trading on OpenSea with ETH under $3,000

March saw $2.49bn in ETH-based NFT trading volumes, down from $4.97bn in January and $3.58bn in February.


ETH trading volume is at $1.30bn. A continuing ETH decline would encourage demand for NFTs, notwithstanding the lack of a straight line.


After a January low of $2,161, ETH hit $3,500 in April before slipping down to sub-$3,000. ETH has declined in 6 of 9 sessions, with ETH-based NFT trading on OpenSea returning to sub-$3,000.


Because NFT trade volumes for Polygon (MATIC) and Solana (SOL) are so small, ETH remains the major emphasis.


This month's active traders have risen. From 546,145 in January to 451,767 in March, active ETH-based NFT traders. This month, there were 281,546 active ETH-based NFT traders.


Active traders may reach January's all-time high, boosting OpenSea and NFTs.

Beyond ETH Value's Influence on Trading Volume

Competition, illegal conduct, new NFT launches, and regulatory scrutiny will all have an impact on OpenSea trading activity.


LooksRare (LOOKS) debuted in January this year, and Coinbase is ready to join the NFT field via CoinbaseNFT.


Acceptance of fiat money as a form of payment will be a last important driver for NFT transaction counts. Coinbase and Mastercard announced a cooperation at the start of the year that would enable mainstream payments for NFTs.


The ability to accept mainstream payments eliminates the need for potential NFT collectors to open digital wallets and acquire cryptocurrency under risky market circumstances. The move by Coinbase to accept Mastercard payments may drive other NFT markets to do the same.


The good news for the NFT industry is that major corporations are continuing to investigate and join the digital asset market. Investors will be watching how Solana-based NFTs work for OpenSea.


However, there are also downside concerns, such as illegal activities and increasing governmental supervision. Regulatory monitoring must be helpful rather than punishing in order to make the NFT market more accessible. The actions of regulators on NFTs may be connected to unlawful activities in the NFT sector.
