On-chain analyst Specter questioned SafePal’s disclosure timing, stating that the leaked data covered 2025-03-02 to 2026-04-11, meaning the vulnerability had occurred by April or early May at the latest; SafePal only went public after Trezor announced its data breach, and some users had even received phishing emails and suffered losses before the admission, without any advance warning, denying the issue and putting users’ personal data at risk.

After MiCA took effect, more than 1,700 unlicensed platforms were forced to shut down, and around 10 million users migrated to licensed providers. Scammers impersonated regulators and issued fake migration notices, directing assets into fraudulent platforms. AMF, ESMA, AFM, and FCA all warned that their identities and logos were being abused, advising users to verify information through official registries and beware of transfer requests. FCA said it received 4,465 impersonation reports in the first half of the year, with 480 victims defrauded.

Original title: “DeepSeek’s ‘Self-Evolving’ Blueprint Has Been Exposed”

The latest paper from DeepSeek and Peking University has lifted the veil on the Harness version of Whale.
Titled “A Programming Paradigm for Spatiotemporal Composability,”
It may sound a little convoluted, but you only need to remember one sentence—
The entire paper revolves around Cordis, the core of Black Whale—a “Lego baseplate” that can be freely plugged and unplugged.
Here, everything is a plugin, and everything can be recombined.
This also explains why “Black Whale” is so open, and why the official team so strongly encourages everyone to create plugins and modify Harnes.

Israel’s largest compliant crypto broker, Bits of Gold, suffered a data breach in which the personal information of approximately 200k customers was stolen, with the risk spreading externally. The company previously obtained a VASP license and plans to issue the 1:1-pegged BILS stablecoin in 2026. The types of leaked data have not yet been disclosed, but they typically include KYC identity, address, and financial information. Although cold wallets protect assets, they cannot protect identity documents stored on servers; historically, such breaches have often been used for targeted attacks such as phishing and SIM swapping.

Analysts said the share of profitable Bitcoin UTXOs has risen to 53% over the past month, but remains below the 365-day moving average, with nearly half of UTXOs still underwater, indicating easing pressure on holders rather than the release of new demand. Following the Coldcard event, long-term holder supply decreased by approximately 134,800 BTC, partly due to the migration of old coins, making it difficult to interpret this directly as distribution and pointing more to a supply restructuring. Although the market has improved somewhat compared with the beginning of the month, there is still insufficient evidence to confirm a reversal, and more signals are needed to determine whether to build positions.

PANews reported on August 16 that, according to GoPlus monitoring, a Bitcoin holder had just safely transferred assets from a Coldcard MK4 hardware wallet to a centralized exchange, avoiding the risk of the hardware wallet itself being stolen. However, less than 12 hours after the transfer was completed, the holder’s Google account was hacked. Because Google Authenticator cloud sync was enabled, the exchange account was accessed and approximately $750k worth of Bitcoin was drained. GoPlus noted that such attacks typically do not rely on brute-force cracking, but instead use social-engineering phishing and credential stuffing involving weak passwords. Common methods include phishing pages that trick users into entering their Google passwords; malicious browser extensions or cracked software stealing cookies and passwords; credential stuffing using reused weak passwords; and password resets after the recovery email address or phone number is taken over.

PANews, August 16 — According to News.bitcoin, Galaxy Research lowered the probability of the CLARITY Act passing this year from 75% to 10%. The institution noted that the lack of an ethics agreement, declining Republican support following bank lobbying, and the legislative session in September lasting only two to three weeks are all obstacles to the bill passing this year.

Harvard Management Company disclosed holding $2.2 billion worth of SpaceX shares, making it the largest single holding in its $4.3 billion U.S. stock portfolio. SpaceX’s June listing brought significant returns to university endowments, with some shares stemming from early venture capital investments. Besides Harvard, the University of California, the University of North Carolina, and Washington University in St. Louis also disclosed holding SpaceX shares, worth approximately $1 billion in total.

To reach that price, approximately $15 trillion in additional funds would need to flow in over the next four years, equivalent to about 25% of the total market capitalization of the U.S. stock market.

Lu Xun once said: It is not about doing better, but about doing things differently. If the ultimate goal is to seize pricing power over the underlying asset, then don’t go head-to-head with Nasdaq where it is strongest. Instead, move the battlefield to what you do best: Perps, 24/7 trading, leverage, on-chain inventory, and decentralized wild/formal MMs.
Use Perps to seize the pricing high ground, and use bStocks to absorb inventory and correct errors—seize pricing power.
When the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) was founded in 1848, it was not yet the enormous futures market it would later become (CBOE). Chicago was becoming a distribution hub for grain in the American Midwest, with railways and canals bringing boatload after boatload and carload after carload of wheat and corn into the city. The problem was, wheat is not a stock. Even when they were called the same

PANews, August 15 — Michael Saylor published an article on X titled “What Is Money?” stating that money is essentially economic energy, used to store the value created by humans and transfer it across time and space. He believes that gold is constrained by physical friction, fiat currency by political intervention and inflation, while Bitcoin, through its fixed supply, cryptographic security, and proof-of-work, can preserve and transfer economic energy with lower losses, making it “digital monetary energy” and an engineered solution to the problem of money.
