According to BlockBeats, on August 15th, data from Coinglass indicated that if Bitcoin falls below $62,000, the cumulative liquidation intensity of long positions on major CEXs will reach $803 million.

Conversely, if Bitcoin breaks through $64,000, the cumulative short position liquidation intensity on major CEXs will reach $888 million.

BlockBeats Note: The liquidation chart does not show the exact number of contracts pending liquidation, or the exact value of contracts being liquidated. The bars on the liquidation chart actually represent the importance, or strength, of each liquidation cluster relative to its neighboring liquidation clusters.

Therefore, the liquidation chart shows the extent to which the price of an asset is affected when it reaches a certain level. Higher "liquidation bars" indicate that the price will react more strongly due to liquidity surges once it reaches that level.

According to BlockBeats, on August 15, Musk posted that due to issues with power supply availability and licensing for terrestrial data centers, orbital computing (i.e., space computing platforms) may become the only way to continue scaling up AI by sometime in 2029.

According to BlockBeats, on August 15th, Chicago Federal Reserve President Goolsby stated that recent CPI data was encouraging, but inflation remained high in May and June. He believes that only if the momentum from June continues over the next three to four months can one be certain that prices are steadily returning to the 2% target. He supports keeping interest rates unchanged in July, stating that inflation remains the biggest concern, and the economy and employment are "fundamentally stable." He warned that a continued decline in retail sales would raise concerns, as consumption is a key pillar of the US economy.

In addition, he expressed concern about the recent slowdown in productivity growth, stating that if AI-driven growth cannot be sustained, the narrative surrounding AI and monetary policy will need to be re-examined. Regarding whether to reduce the number of policy meetings, Goolsby said he had no strong opinion and was willing to await the working group's recommendations. (Jinshi)

According to a report by The Wall Street Journal on August 15th, sources familiar with the matter said that JPMorgan Chase terminated its banking relationship with prediction market Polymarket last October due to regulatory concerns. However, JPMorgan Chase still maintains some working relationships with Polymarket and other prediction market companies.

A Polymarket spokesperson stated that the company maintains a "close and active relationship" with JPMorgan Chase through multiple entities. Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan has also attended three JPMorgan Chase events in the past year. Earlier this year, a major Polymarket investor assisted in its discussions with large banks such as Citigroup and Fifth Third.

Currently, prediction markets are facing stricter scrutiny from state and federal regulators in the United States. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is investigating Polymarket, and the New York City Council is also investigating its marketing practices; meanwhile, several states are still litigating whether prediction markets should be regulated as gambling businesses.

JPMorgan Chase had previously drawn scrutiny from the Trump administration over its alleged "de-banking" practices. Trump has asked regulators to investigate whether banks have engaged in "politicized or illegal de-banking," and JPMorgan Chase received a subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice last month for this reason.
