1、Crypto Highlights

1）Bitcoin and Ethereum Rally as Institutional Spot ETF Inflows Continue

Bitcoin gained more than 3.7% during the week and held above $80,000, while Ethereum reclaimed the $2,500 level. The move was primarily supported by continued improvements in regional regulatory frameworks and rising expectations for a September rate cut, prompting capital to rotate from defensive assets into crypto risk assets. Major spot ETFs recorded consecutive days of positive net inflows, while total platform assets and retail participation also recovered.

2、Stock Highlights

1）NVIDIA (NVDA) Extends Declines Ahead of Earnings

NVIDIA (NVDA) has weakened for several consecutive sessions, with its maximum month-to-date decline reaching 8%. Broad weakness across storage and optical communication names has weighed on semiconductor sentiment, while investors remain cautious ahead of NVIDIA’s August 26 earnings release. Although Wall Street expects quarterly revenue of approximately $92 billion, the market is focusing more closely on AI return on investment, customer capital-expenditure sustainability, and order execution.

2）PDD Holdings (PDD) Swings Sharply After Quarterly Results

PDD Holdings (PDD) reported quarterly revenue growth above consensus expectations, but its shares surged in pre-market trading before quickly paring the gains. Expectations for the company’s cross-border business had already been elevated, prompting some investors to take profits after the results and rotate into other relatively undervalued Chinese names.

3）Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) Plunges After Announcing Equity Financing

Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) announced a $600 million equity offering, sending the shares down as much as 13% intraday. The large financing plan creates a direct dilution risk for existing shareholders, while investors are also concerned that the subsequent pace of capital expenditure could delay earnings realization.
