Lei Jun posted on Weibo that the Xuanjie O100, based on Xuanjies innovative high-bandwidth matrix bus, achieves edge AI performance far exceeding that of traditional flagship SoCs.

Warshs previous statement that "let the market raise rates for the Fed" failed to alleviate inflation concerns, and coupled with the ineffective intervention of the Treasury Department, policy credibility has been damaged, leading to a continued rise in US Treasury yields. We expect Warsh to reiterate the risks of inflation and retain the option of raising rates to rebuild credibility, but he will also continue to adhere to his long-term propositions of reducing central bank intervention and decreasing the frequency of communication. We believe that Warsh has not abandoned the policy concept of "balance sheet reduction + interest rate cuts," but the premise on which it is based is out of sync with the current reality, requiring coordination and clearer expression. If Warsh can demonstrate sufficient policy flexibility, market concerns about US Treasuries may be partially alleviated, supporting the dollar; conversely, trust will continue to erode, long-term US Treasury yields will continue to rise, and the dollar will be under pressure.The Nikkei 225 index fell by 1.00% during the day.August 25th - According to sources familiar with the matter, Lambda, the AI cloud computing service provider backed by Nvidia (NVDA.O), is in talks for a funding round of up to $3 billion, which could pave the way for its IPO next year. The sources said that Lambda, an "emerging cloud" company that provides chip and other AI infrastructure leasing services, is discussing a funding round at a valuation of up to $12 billion or even higher. They stated that the funding negotiations are still ongoing and the terms of the deal have not yet been finalized. It is understood that Lambda has received multiple investment offers for this round, which, according to company insiders, could pave the way for an initial public offering (IPO) as early as next year.

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.
