Ctrl Wallet will permanently shut down on August 3, 2026, disabling transfers, swaps, and in-app activity. The company announced the closure on July 7 and pulled the app from major stores the same day. Anyone who has already installed it can keep every feature until August 2. What the Ctrl Wallet Shutdown Means for Users Ctrl says the wallet stays fully operational until August 2. Until that date, holders can continue normal use, including sending, receiving, and swapping tokens, as well as exporting their recovery phrase. From August 3, the only remaining function is exporting a recovery phrase. We strongly recommend exporting your recovery phrase as soon as possible, as we cannot guarantee how long the app will remain accessible on your device, the team said. Ctrl recommends two paths before the deadline. Users can export their 12-word or 24-word recovery phrase, or move funds to another wallet or exchange. The platform did not explain why it is shutting down. However, the decision comes after a June security issue that, according to the team, affected a small number of Cardano (ADA) wallets on the platform. An Important Security Update from the Ctrl Team We identified a security issue impacting a small number of Cardano wallets on our platform. We have contained the issue and paused the affected functions. Ctrl Wallet ✜ (@Ctrl_Wallet) June 23, 2026 Ctrls exit is not an isolated case. RootData counts 79 crypto projects that closed, entered bankruptcy, or went dark through 2026. The tally spans wallets, DeFi protocols, NFT platforms, and more, pointing to pressure that spans the sector rather than a single corner of it. What remains unclear is how long the app will stay usable after August 3. Ctrl said it cannot guarantee continued access.

After the US October CPI exceeded expectations, Goldman Sachs and Nomura added a forecast for an interest rate hike in March next year, while Deutsche Bank included a forecast for a rate hike in January next year. Currently, the market has fully priced in a 25 basis point rate hike in December, with a 13% probability for a 50 basis point hike. On Wednesday, the US Treasury spot market was closed, but Treasury futures continued to fall, with corresponding yields rising by about 2 to 4 basis points, and spot gold came under pressure, dropping by 1.1%.

No Need to Worry About the Cooling Down of AI Data Center Construction? The US Import Boom Is Unlikely to Subside in the Short Term, Real Impact May Come in 2029

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.

Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?

The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
