Russian President&nbsp;Vladimir Putin&nbsp;has indicated that there will be no shift in Russia&#8217;s stance on the Ukraine conflict, despite the looming sanctions deadline set by President&nbsp;Donald Trump.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Putin Pushes For Negotiations With Ukraine, Asserts Upper Hand</h2>
Putin, in a statement on Friday, expressed Russia&#8217;s hope for further peace talks with Ukraine. However, he made it clear that the war&#8217;s momentum was in Russia&#8217;s favor,&nbsp;reported&nbsp;Reuters. He referenced his Defence Ministry&#8217;s announcement that Moscow&#8217;s&nbsp;forces had captured the Ukrainian&nbsp;town of Chasiv Yar after&nbsp;a 16-month battle, a claim Ukraine has denied.
Putin, without directly addressing the Trump deadline, mentioned that the recent&nbsp;peace talks with Ukraine had&nbsp;yielded positive results, and Russia anticipates further negotiations. He emphasized the need for detailed private conversations to approach the issue peacefully.
&#8220;As for any disappointments on the part of anyone, all disappointments arise from inflated expectations. This is a well-known general rule,&#8221; Putin said.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Despite Zelenskyy&#8217;s Ceasefire Pleas, Russia Insists on Agreement Before Leader-Level Meeting</h2>
Despite Ukraine&#8217;s calls for an immediate ceasefire, Russia insists on a final and durable settlement. The conflict&#8217;s intensity has notably increased since peace talks began in May, with Russia conducting heavy air strikes, particularly on the capital, Kyiv.
Ukrainian President&nbsp;Volodymyr Zelenskyy&nbsp;has urged Putin to engage in direct talks, a proposal supported by the U.S. and Ukraine&#8217;s European allies. However, Russia insists that a leaders&#8217; meeting can only occur to confirm agreements reached by negotiators.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Markets On Edge As Trump Pressures Russia</h2>
This development follows President Trump&#8217;s recent escalation of pressure on Moscow. Trump declared that the U.S. would impose <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46713772/trump-to-russia-end-ukraine-war-in-10-days-or-face-tariffs-oil-approaches-70">tariffs and sanctions </a>on Russia within 10 days unless significant progress was made towards ending the Ukraine conflict. This ultimatum carries significant market implications, with potential disruptions to global oil supplies and crude oil hovering around $70 per barrel.
Meanwhile, it was reported that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/07/46716645/trumps-nasa-chief-sean-duffy-set-to-hold-talks-with-russia-over-space-issues-report">Acting NASA </a>Administrator and U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is scheduled to hold talks with his Russian counterpart over &#8220;space issues&#8221; later this week, marking the first high-level meeting between the two heads of the space agencies since 2018.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has vehemently denied allegations made by Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang that he is attempting to dominate the AI industry.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Amodei Pushes Back On Huang&#8217;s Claims, Urges Transparent AI Debate</h2>
On the Big Technology Podcast with host Alex Kantowitz on Wednesday, Amodei expressed profound annoyance at being branded a &#8220;doomer&#8221; and rejected the notion that he is attempting to hinder AI progress. When the host asked him about Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang commenting on Amodei considering himself solely capable of safely constructing AI and trying to control the industry, the Anthropic CEO denied the idea, stating, &#8220;That&#8217;s the most outrageous lie I&#8217;ve ever heard.&#8221;
Amodei&#8217;s rebuttal was deeply personal, rooted in his father&#8217;s demise, which he says motivates his pursuit of beneficial AI and his caution about its potential dangers. He advocated for more transparency and consideration in the AI discourse, dismissing claims that AI cannot be safely developed as &#8220;nonsense.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: AI&#039;s Potential, OpenAI Rivalry, GenAI Business, Doomerism" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mYDSSRS-B5U?list=PLADd6sStSis77HKfbf4KCY6SvthfxeUgn" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
</figure>
Despite his caution about AI&#8217;s potential hazards, Amodei maintained his optimism about the technology. He asserted that he and his firm,&nbsp;Anthropic, have frequently been more successful in highlighting the advantages of AI than self-proclaimed optimists. 
Amodei also tackled the &#8220;open source&#8221; AI technology development debate, a viewpoint advocated by Nvidia and Huang. He dismissed it as a &#8220;red herring,&#8221; arguing that large language models are inherently opaque, rendering open-source AI technology development as currently designed unfeasible.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia Fires Back at Anthropic's AI Concerns And Fear-Mongering</h2>
Nvidia slammed Amodei's stance, calling for increased AI regulation and <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/08/01/dario-amodei-outrageous-lie-jensen-huang-anthropic-nvidia-regulation/">telling </a>Fortune, "Lobbying for regulatory capture against open source will only stifle innovation, make AI less safe and secure, and less democratic. That's not a ‘race to the top' or the way for America to win." 
In July, Nvidia&#8217;s CEO expressed opposing views to Anthropic&#8217;s CEO, who said AI would lead to people losing jobs, &#8220;He thinks AI is so scary, but only they should do it,&#8221; Huang said. &#8220;If you want things to be done safely and responsibly, you should do it in the open,&#8221; added the Nvidia CEO.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Anthropic Warns US May Fall Behind China in AI</h2>
This controversy comes in the wake of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46567115/anthropic-warns-us-falling-behind-china-in-ai-arms-race-as-energy-crisis-threatens-2028-infrastructure-goals">Anthropic&#8217;s warning</a>&nbsp;about the U.S. lagging behind China in the global AI race due to energy constraints. The San Francisco-based AI company has been vocal about the country&#8217;s energy generation issues impeding AI development.
Furthermore,&nbsp;Anthropic&#8217;s recent financial success, with an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis/25/06/45714044/amazon-and-google-backed-ai-startup-anthropic-reportedly-hits-3-billion-in-annualized-revenue-wheres-chatgpt-parent-openai-at">annualized revenue </a>run rate of $3 billion, primarily driven by enterprise demand for its AI models, adds another layer to this debate. This rapid growth has been largely attributed to the company&#8217;s AI models, particularly in code generation.

Mastercard Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) is charting a new course for the digital economy, and it&#8217;s a future where open banking and stablecoins are at the core. This includes the potential for stablecoins to act as settlement currencies, as the company states it sees them as just another form of money.
Check out the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MA">MA stock price over here</a>. 
What Happened: During its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46760053/mastercard-stock-jumps-after-strong-q2-travel-spending-digital-services-fuel-revenue-beat-and-raised-outlook">earnings</a> call, executives underscored the company&#8217;s &#8220;Open banking&#8221; initiative as a key to future growth. This is a system that allows banks and other financial institutions to share customer financial data securely with third-party providers with the customer&#8217;s explicit consent. 
CEO Michael Mihwach underscored that one of the most notable open banking developments is the launch of &#8220;Mastercard Account to Account Protect,&#8221; a new fraud prevention service. A critical part of this &#8220;Mastercard One credential&#8221; is its ability to provide consumers with flexibility in how they pay, whether through debit, credit, prepaid, or even stablecoin. 
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46729976/300-growth-in-high-inflation-nations-why-stablecoins-are-booming-where-fiat-is-failing">inclusion of stablecoins</a> as potential settlement currencies is a clear signal that Mastercard sees a future where it not only facilitates payments for traditional currency but for digital assets as well. &#8220;As to Stablecoins, we see it as another currency,&#8221; said Mihwach. 
&#8220;We will bring our reach, ubiquity, and trust to Agentic Commerce and Stablecoins and will provide an environment for our partners to innovate upon. That is the Mastercard way,&#8221; he added. 
Mastercard is leveraging this by enhancing fraud prevention, forging new partnerships, and creating a &#8220;global account overlay.&#8221; The company is also leveraging open banking to secure new partnerships and expand its market share globally.
The company also outlined its strategy about providing choice and partnering wherever possible. This is further evidenced by its work with Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DB#NYSE">DB</a>) to grow account-to-account payments across Europe.
The vision, as described by Mihwach, is to provide a single digitally connected credential that gives consumers flexibility in how they pay, whether through debit, credit, prepaid, or even stablecoin.

Why It Matters: The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46760053/mastercard-stock-jumps-after-strong-q2-travel-spending-digital-services-fuel-revenue-beat-and-raised-outlook">reported revenue</a> of $8.13 billion, up 17% year-over-year and 16% YoY on a neutral currency basis, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $7.95 billion. Its adjusted EPS rose 16% YoY to $4.15, exceeding the analyst consensus estimate of $4.02.
The company now expects high-end mid-teens revenue growth (prior low teen-digit revenue growth) for fiscal 2025 versus the $31.96 billion analyst consensus estimate.
Price Action: MA stock rose 1.32% on Thursday. The stock was up 8.44% year-to-date and 22.5% over a year. It was trading 0.61% lower in premarket on Friday. 
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that MA maintains a strong price trend across the short, medium, and long term. However, the stock scores badly on value rankings.

Mastercard To Enable Stablecoins As Settlement Currencies As It Touts Open Banking For Fraud Prevention: 'We See It As Another Currency'

Pheton Holdings Ltd (the "Company," "we," "our" or "Pheton"), a healthcare solution provider specializing in treatment planning systems for brachytherapy and other related products and services, today issued the following statements in response to recent market volatility and a third-party publication that has raised questions and concerns among shareholders.
Over the past few days, shares of Pheton have experienced an extraordinary and unexpected decline in its share price, which the Company believes may have been triggered by a speculative article published by The Bear Cave on July 29, 2025. The article asserts that Pheton's share price may have been influenced by false rumors of a potential acquisition by Gilead Sciences, Inc. ("Gilead").
Management's Position and Clarification
Pheton's management team unequivocally and categorically denies any involvement in, or knowledge of, any form of stock price manipulation. At no point has the Company participated in, initiated, or sanctioned any rumor, communication, or activity regarding an acquisition by Gilead, or any other party. Pheton has had no contact with Gilead, and any statements or reports suggesting otherwise were and are entirely false and fabricated.
Additionally, Pheton plans to engage with its market makers, Nasdaq, and relevant regulatory bodies for the purpose of holding responsible parties to the scheme accountable.
Protecting Shareholder Interests
We recognize the concern this incident has caused among our investors, and we are monitoring internal controls and communications to ensure that any further misinformation can be swiftly and effectively countered.
Commitment to Transparency and Growth
Pheton is committed to upholding the highest standards of corporate governance, transparency, and accountability. As always, we remain focused on creating long-term shareholder value through carefully considered growth opportunities that align with our mission and strengthen our market position.
Pheton has built its foundation on trust, innovation, and value creation and remains confident in the strength of its underlying business, long-term strategy, and the dedication of its team.
A Word to Our Shareholders
We deeply value the trust our shareholders place in us. We will continue to keep the investor community informed with accurate and timely disclosures. Our leadership remains focused on operational execution and strengthening the integrity of our public market presence.
