On August 19, Bitcoin's recent volatility fell to a multi-year low, with a 30-day historical volatility of about 42%, compared to approximately 18% for the S&P 500, marking the smallest historical volatility gap between the two. The market is caught in a stalemate between buyers and sellers, with companies and mining firms limiting upward movement through sell-offs, while the clearing of leverage and continuous accumulation by long-term holders restricts downward movement. As Bitcoin's volatility declines, some short-term traders are beginning to shift their risk appetite towards assets such as AI stocks, tokenized stocks, perpetual contracts, and prediction markets. Research from NYDIG indicates that short-term traders are more inclined to chase volatility, narrative momentum, and potential returns, stating that "traders seeking 5x or 10x returns" can now choose between Bitcoin, Nvidia, gold, perpetual stock contracts, 0DTE options, and sports event contracts. Data shows that the monthly trading volume of traditional asset perpetual contracts on crypto trading platforms has surged from $52 billion in January to $268 billion in June, an increase of over five times in six months. Meanwhile, retail traders in South Korea have noticeably shifted from cryptocurrencies to AI-related stocks, with trading volumes on major South Korean crypto exchanges dropping by about 80% year-on-year. CoinDesk points out that the Bitcoin market currently resembles a "dormant" state, with decreased trading participation, shrinking market depth, and regulatory uncertainty collectively suppressing volatility. If there is substantial progress in U.S. crypto regulation, changes in the macro environment, or the emergence of new market narratives, the current low-volatility pattern may be disrupted, and thinner liquidity could further amplify price fluctuations.

On August 19, market news indicated that Anthropic is seeking lead banks to each provide approximately $1.25 billion in loans, while other major participating banks are expected to contribute around $1 billion each. Additionally, reports suggest that the scale of the credit facility that Anthropic aims to raise before its IPO may exceed the $10 billion target.

On August 19, Tesla plans to publicly unveil its autonomous taxi, Cybercab, in Austin, Texas, as early as this month. The model features a design without a steering wheel or pedals, and Tesla employees have been testing a fully autonomous version on private roads within the company campus. Reports indicate that the Cybercab operates based on Tesla's FSD software, but its autonomous driving capabilities and safety are still under scrutiny. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is currently investigating compliance issues related to Tesla's FSD, while existing Robotaxi services in some markets still employ human safety operators. The Cybercab is designed to operate without any intervention from occupants, with Tesla planning to use remote operators to handle emergencies and has begun integrating Starlink connectivity into the vehicles. Data scale is also a concern; Tesla stated in July that it needs to accumulate dedicated driving data for the Cybercab. To date, Tesla's unsupervised Robotaxi has driven approximately 380,000 miles across six cities, while Waymo has completed over 220 million miles of fully autonomous driving on public roads since 2020. Additionally, the Cybercab's lack of traditional driving controls may face restrictions under U.S. federal vehicle safety regulations. It remains unclear whether Tesla is seeking regulatory exemptions. The Verge notes that as the Cybercab's launch approaches, there is still significant uncertainty regarding the autonomous driving safety and regulatory approvals required for its commercial operation.
