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.

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.

A person familiar with the matter said the CFTC notified Kalshi of the review several weeks ago, after which Kalshi removed sports-related mention markets. It remains unclear whether the investigation is limited to sports-related topics or covers all mention markets.

August 14, Israel’s largest bank, Bank Leumi, announced a partnership with Galaxy Digital, planning to allow 2.5 million retail customers to buy, sell, and hold BTC, ETH, and SOL directly through the bank’s own Leumi Trade app. Galaxy will provide trade execution and custody infrastructure, with the service expected to launch in early 2027.
As banks begin integrating crypto trading into their own apps, crypto exchanges are shifting from “consumer-facing brands” to “pipes hidden behind banks.”
Trading happens in the bank’s app, but the bank does nothing
First, let’s look at the division of responsibilities in this partnership.
Bank Leumi is responsible for the customer relationship, KYC, compliance, bank accounts, funding access, and most importantly—the brand. Customers open Le

Under the mechanism’s rules, when DAO staking revenue surplus exceeds the $40 million baseline, 50% of the surplus will be used to automatically purchase LDO via CoW Swap; any shortfall will be carried forward for subsequent accounting, and new surplus must make up the deficit before purchases can resume. The daily cap is $50k, the annual cap is $10 million, and all purchased LDO will belong to the DAO.

PANews, August 15 — According to Onchain Lens monitoring, a new wallet withdrew 33,810 HYPE (approximately $1.88 million) from Coinbase.

According to Jin10, people familiar with Anthropic’s finances revealed that the company expects revenue of approximately $190 billion to $200 billion in 2028, far exceeding the $47 billion in annualized revenue disclosed in May.

Since extending the forecast period to two years out is uncommon, this highlights the company’s rapid expansion and the difficulty of establishing valuation benchmarks while heavily investing in AI infrastructure.

PANews, August 15 — Lookonchain monitoring shows that a wallet associated with Monetalis sold 3.72 million UNI worth $13 million through Cumberland, then bought 171,543 HYPE worth $9.56 million.
