📊 WHERE THE MARKET STANDS TODAY Crypto's current split mostly Fear/Neutral, with only 30 coins in Greed, mirrors the same risk-off hesitation playing out in Nasdaq futures (NQ), where two major liquidity levels (29,928/30,073 above, 29,740 below) remain untouched. As a risk asset increasingly correlated with tech equities, crypto tends to follow the same institutional caution: no size committed until a clear catalyst appears. That catalyst was Thursday's PPI, printing at 4.7% YoY, cooler than the 4.9% forecast and well below July's 5.5%. Softer inflation typically favors risk assets, but neither market rushed to react, suggesting traders are waiting to see which liquidity level breaks first rather than trading the print alone.

🚀 StripChain has opened public participation in its ITTC sale The sale marks the next step for a protocol built to solve a structural problem in how chains operate today. Every chain runs its own execution environment, liquidity, and wallet standards, so applications built for one chain stay siloed from users and liquidity everywhere else, and developers rebuild the same logic per network. StripChain removes that by letting developers express actions as intents instead of chain-specific instructions. StripVM, the protocol's execution layer, interprets and coordinates these intents across both EVM and non-EVM chains, so logic is written once and runs wherever it's needed. The sale runs on a bonding curve: price starts at a 15M FDV and rises with participation, up to a 150M FDV ceiling. StripСhain is a cross-chain interoperability protocol that allows developers to create commands called intents to perform actions like transferring data between blockchains. 👉 ico.stripchain.xyz?wl=WLEyyUWdb8ib

CENTRALIZED EXCHANGE ASSET FLOWS Let's take a look at where capital is moving across centralized exchanges this month. This overview tracks 30-day net flows across 65+ tracked CEXs, highlighting which platforms are gaining trust - and which are seeing capital walk out the door.

LATEST CRYPTO HACKS Let's explore the latest crypto security incidents and how they're shaping the ecosystem. This overview highlights recent hacks across major platforms like Humanity Protocol and Ostium, covering attack types, funds stolen, affected chains, and recovery outcomes. As of July 2026, more than $1.32B has been stolen across 224+ incidents in H1 2026 alone, making it the most-hacked half-year on record by incident count, even as total dollar losses trail 2025's $3.4B (inflated by the single $1.5B Bybit hack). Notably, just two exploits - KelpDAO ($292M) and Drift Protocol ($285M), both in April, account for nearly 44% of H1 losses. The trend has continued into Q3: wallet/key compromises and oracle manipulation (not smart contract bugs) now drive the costliest attacks, as seen in July's wave hitting Ostium, BonkDAO, and Bonzo Lend.
