Everclear Secures Strategic Investment From NEAR Foundation to Scale Cross-Chain Clearing
NEAR Foundation's capital deployment includes provision of solver capital aimed at unlocking liquidity to meet the growing demand for Everclear's offerings and a multi-faceted strategic investment, signaling support for the CLEAR community.
Powering Intents-Based Interoperability
The cross-chain intents market is seeing significant momentum with new chains coming in and a stablecoin explosion–transaction fees are already often as low as 0.01% and settlement times are often seconds, which creates a perfect set-up for further growth.
Everclear, which recently surpassed $1B in total transaction volume, introduces a DeFi primitive that enables clear and net-off bi-directional cross-chain liquidity flows at zero cost. To further strengthen its robust clearing and netting infrastructure, Everclear will integrate with the NEAR technology stack and scale the amount of available liquidity in the protocol with additional resources.
Illia Polosukhin, NEAR co-founder, stated: "Unifying liquidity for both human and AI users is a key mission for NEAR and the Intents ecosystem. We're happy that Everclear will utilize NEAR Intents for cross-chain clearing and settlement amidst the proliferation of stablecoins, chains, and new asset types in the market today – we see a great opportunity in our work together."
'Partnering with the NEAR Foundation enables Everclear to scale liquidity and target billions in monthly volume over the next 12 months,' said Dima Khanarin, Everclear Foundation CEO. 'With hundreds of stablecoins and new appchains like Robinhood launching, the cross-chain clearing market for digital assets is poised to surpass $1Trillion.'
Since March 2025, Everclear has:

Trade deals fuel Wall Street gains while Trump renews Fed attack
Wall Street closed the week higher, with tech-heavy indices notching fresh records as upbeat corporate earnings, resilient macro data and breakthrough trade deals converged to boost risk appetite. The U.S. finalized new trade agreements with Indonesia, the Philippines and Japan. The Tokyo deal was the most significant, locking in a reduction in tariffs on Japanese autos and goods from 25% to 15%, while Japan pledged $550 billion in investment and improved access to American-made goods. A U.S.-EU trade deal is now reportedly close, expected to align with the Japan framework and potentially ease existing tariff rates ahead of the Aug. 1 deadline. Separately, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to boost the U.S. artificial intelligence sector by promoting the export of full-stack AI systems to trusted global partners. The White House said the move is aimed at strengthening economic leadership and national security. Among the week's strongest performers, Thermo Fisher Scientific rallied over 12%, topping the leaderboard for large-cap stocks, followed by T-Mobile US, up 9%. Within the Magnificent Seven, Alphabet rose by 1% after delivering better-than-expected results and raising its 2025 capex outlook by $10 billion, reinforcing its commitment to scaling AI infrastructure. More: S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 hit fresh highs as even retail scores wins over the week Tesla dropped 8.2% following cautious commentary from CEO Elon Musk, who warned that upcoming quarters could prove challenging amid rising costs and margin pressures. Economic indicators added fuel to the rally. U.S. business activity surprised to the upside, with the Composite Purchasing Managers' Index climbing to a seven-month high in July, helped by expansion in services and steady consumer strength. Trump's push to influence monetary policy continued with an unannounced visit to the Federal Reserve's headquarters in Washington, D.C. — the first by a sitting president in nearly 20 years. Wearing a hard hat alongside Fed Chair Jerome Powell, Trump criticized the central bank's renovation project, claiming costs had surged to $3.1 billion. Powell countered on the spot, clarifying that the real cost is closer to $2.5 billion, excluding unrelated construction. Pressed on rate policy, Trump said, 'I'd love to see him lower interest rates.' Markets now shift focus to the July 30 Fed meeting, where expectations remain anchored for a hold — but not without growing political heat.

Huawei shows off AI computing system to rival Nvidia's top product
SHANGHAI (Reuters) -China's Huawei Technologies showed off an AI computing system on Saturday that one industry expert has said rivals Nvidia's most advanced offering, as the Chinese technology giant seeks to capture market share in the country's growing artificial intelligence sector. The CloudMatrix 384 system made its first public debut at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), a three-day event in Shanghai where companies showcase their latest AI innovations, drawing a large crowd to the company's booth. The system has drawn close attention from the global AI community since Huawei first announced it in April. Industry analysts view it as a direct competitor to Nvidia's GB200 NVL72, the U.S. chipmaker's most advanced system-level product currently available in the market. Dylan Patel, founder of semiconductor research group SemiAnalysis, said in an April article that Huawei now had AI system capabilities that could beat Nvidia. Huawei staff at its WAIC booth declined to comment when asked to introduce the CloudMatrix 384 system. A spokesperson for Huawei did not respond to questions. Huawei has become widely regarded as China's most promising domestic supplier of chips essential for AI development, even though the company faces U.S. export restrictions. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told Bloomberg in May that Huawei had been "moving quite fast" and named the CloudMatrix as an example. The CloudMatrix 384 incorporates 384 of Huawei's latest 910C chips and outperforms Nvidia's GB200 NVL72 on some metrics, which uses 72 B200 chips, according to SemiAnalysis. The performance stems from Huawei's system design capabilities, which compensate for weaker individual chip performance through the use of more chips and system-level innovations, SemiAnalysis said. Huawei says the system uses "supernode" architecture that allows the chips to interconnect at super-high speeds and in June, Huawei Cloud CEO Zhang Pingan said the CloudMatrix 384 system was operational on Huawei's cloud platform.

AI intensifies battle for talent, housing and investments in San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO — As an entrepreneur, Anand Doshi was enticed by the promise of artificial intelligence.

But a few months later, Doshi, 37, realized he needed to make a big change: He had to leave New York for San Francisco.
