[Chain News] PANews, August 12 - The U.S. Core CPI year-on-year rate for July, not seasonally adjusted, has further risen to 3.1%, reaching a five-month high, exceeding the market expectation of 3.0%. The U.S. CPI year-on-year rate for July, not seasonally adjusted, remained stable at 2.7% compared to the previous month, with market expectations for it to rise further to 2.8%.

On August 12, most analysts expect the U.S. core CPI for July to rise by 0.3%, while Jefferies Group anticipates it to be 0.246%, which seems somewhat unusual. Jefferies stated that it expects the prices of furniture, clothing, and entertainment products in July to not continue to rise; despite facing tariff pressures, used car prices have remained basically unchanged, although seasonal adjustments may reflect a slight decline. Meanwhile, Jefferies expects the overall CPI to rise by 0.172%, lower than the market expectation of 0.2%. Considering that the data will be rounded, this figure does not appear to differ much, but Jefferies believes that there may be downside risks in the CPI report. Airfares remain an unstable factor, and if the basic economy class ticket prices remain unchanged, seasonal adjustments may still lead to a 2.5% increase in airfare prices. If this situation does not occur, the overall C for July...

[比推] Slow Mist Yu Xian posted on social media, "The Qubic Mining Pool has completed this 51% attack verification against Monero using economic incentive game theory (I believe the intention was not malicious), leveraging $300 million (market capitalization of $QUBIC) to affect $5 billion (market capitalization of Monero)."

According to monitoring, USDC Treasury has minted 500 million USDC on the Solana blockchain.

Qubic briefly controlled 51% of Monero's hashrate due to quantum encryption technology experiments, raising concerns within the community. Qubic stated that this is a technical demonstration and that the Monero experiment will proceed as planned.

On August 12, Qubic, a project by IOTA co-founder Sergey Ivancheglo, rapidly accumulated a large amount of Monero Computing Power through the "useful Proof of Work (uPoW)" mechanism, skyrocketing from less than 2% to over 27%, temporarily becoming the largest Monero Mining Pool. It publicly stated that its goal is to reach over 51% to test network security.
On August 12, Qubic briefly controlled 52.72% of the hash rate of the Monero network (approximately 3.01 GH/s). Once it exceeds 51%, Qubic can reject blocks from other mining pools, resulting in chain reorganization, double spending, or transaction censorship.
The Monero community has launched a boycott and defense action, while Qubic claims that this move is a technical demonstration, not a malicious attack. A CTO from a trading platform stated that Monero (M
