Of the 1,778 BTC taken through the Coldcard flaw, 1,531 BTC still sits in attacker addresses without a single move — roughly $96 million nobody has tried to cash out. Galaxy Research has tracked the flows since 30 July and sees no confirmed activity after 6 August. Their advice has not changed: if your coins sit on a single-signature Coldcard, move them to fresh addresses.

Since 15 August, mining is banned in Moscow and the surrounding region. Point by point, because the wording is broader than it looks. What exactly is banned? Not just keeping and running the hardware, but taking part in mining pools. A two-card home rig and pointing hashrate at a pool fall under the same rule. Where? Moscow, the whole Moscow region and eight border districts of the Kursk region, plus the town of Lgov. For how long? Until 31 December 2032. Decree No. 936 was signed on 25 July, published on 31 July and took effect on 15 August. Why? Power grids. The government argues that connecting energy-hungry facilities creates a risk of capacity shortages around the capital. Thirteen regions were already under a mining ban. The Moscow region is the country's largest home-mining market, and it is now closed for six years ahead.

JPMorgan closed Polymarket's accounts back in October 2025 The bank told the prediction market to find another partner, citing regulatory concerns. The Financial Times reported it on Friday, and Reuters separately confirmed the account closure. Polymarket moved its money to a different lender, which has not been named. The split does not stop JPMorgan from wanting an underwriting role in a possible Polymarket IPO. The company itself is in talks to raise around $1 billion at a valuation above $20 billion.

On August 23 Binance stops processing transactions with eleven more platforms — HTX, EXMO, Rapira, BitPapa and Exnode among them. A timeline of three dates: • August 7 — Shelbit and Aban Tether Exchange • August 13 — A7 Nigeria, A7 Africa, PilotFinance • August 23 — Rapira, Aifory Pro, ABCeX, WhiteBird, NoOnecrypto, Tradex, Monease, BitPapa, Exnode and Exnode Pay, HTX, EXMO Sixteen services in total. The exchange points to regulatory requirements in the jurisdictions where it operates and asks users not to send funds to or receive funds from these platforms, directly or indirectly. Any attempt after the listed date may be held for review, and the wallet involved may be restricted while that review runs. If your money sits on one of them, Binance is not the route to take it out.

🔐 For five years the wallet generated a phrase you could guess On July 30 bitcoin started leaving cold wallets. Not exchanges, not phone apps, but devices people buy precisely so they can sleep at night. And there was no hack: nobody guessed a password, nobody sent a fake link. The owners did nothing wrong. In March 2021 a build error shipped inside Coldcard firmware. The hardware random number generator was switched off and the device quietly fell back to a software one. Instead of 128 bits the older models started producing roughly 40, and forty bits is brute forceable on an ordinary home computer. Worth checking today • the seed was created on a Coldcard after March 2021 • you added your own dice rolls when creating it, at least 50 of them • the wallet is protected by a separate passphrase, long and unique A yes to the first together with a no to the other two means treating that seed as compromised. Updating the firmware does not repair it: the patch protects the future, not the past. 🎥I break the whole thing down: how the error worked, how the older and newer models differ, and how to move funds without losing them during the migration itself.

$20 million in capital, half of it in liquid assets. Those are the terms on which the US banking regulator let a Trump-linked entity in. On August 14 the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency approved World Liberty Trust Company's application for a national trust charter. The bank would issue and redeem USD1, a dollar-pegged token, hold its reserves and custody digital assets for institutions — taking that role over from BitGo. The OCC has granted preliminary conditional approval only. Authorization to commence business will not be granted until all preopening requirements are met — OCC Corporate Decision 1385 No insured deposits, no conventional loans. For three years it owes 60 days' notice before deviating from its business plan, plus liquidity for 180 days of expenses. A trust charter is not permission to operate — a list of conditions still open. #regulation 📈 Bybit — up to $30,000 bonus for new accounts 🔗 My channels: Youtube • X • LinkedIn • Instagram • Threads

☀️ Saturday morning: price slides, fear backs off • Bitcoin: $63,069 (−0.8% 24h, −2.9% 7d) • Ether: $1,883 (−0.2%) • Solana: $75.53 (−0.9%) • Market cap: $2.25T (−0.4%) • Sentiment: 34 fear, 29 yesterday • Beat bitcoin over 30 days: 24 of 50 coins Seven days of small giveback, yet the sentiment index gained five points overnight. That split is rare — falling prices usually drag the mood down with them. Here it is the opposite: half of the large caps hold better than bitcoin, and dominance slipped to 56.1%. Volume of $46.5B says the market is quiet, not dead. #market 📈 Bybit — up to $30,000 bonus for new accounts 🔗 My channels: Youtube • X • LinkedIn • Instagram • Threads

⚡ The SEC was due to put its first crypto rules on the table today — the meeting is off The open meeting was set for 14 August at 10:00 ET, where the commission would decide whether to propose a tailored offering regime for certain investment contracts involving crypto assets. The regulator’s own events calendar now marks it cancelled, with no new date given. #regulation 🔗 My channels: Youtube • X • LinkedIn • Instagram • Threads

🚨 13,689 Trezor buyers ended up in someone else’s database, address included The breach was not at Trezor but at its fulfilment partner ShipMonk, which on 10 August reported unauthorised access to its systems. For 11,742 people the name, email, phone and address leaked; for 1,947 it was name, city and email. These are orders delivered between 10 May and 8 August. An address plus a confirmed hardware wallet purchase is no longer only a mail risk. What to do: • check your inbox — Trezor emailed every affected customer; no email means you were not hit; • treat any message that rushes you as hostile, even if the sender knows your address and device model; • never type your recovery phrase into a website and never read it out. The devices and the company’s own systems were not compromised. In 13 years this is the first time customer phones and addresses have gone out. #security 📈 ByBit: up to $30,000 bonus — my pick for trading! 🔗 My channels: Youtube • X • LinkedIn • Instagram • Threads

💰 Tether finally let auditors count its gold bars KPMG US audited Tether International’s 2025 financial statements and issued an unqualified opinion — the most favourable verdict an independent auditor can issue. For years detractors said an audit of Tether could not be completed. We have proven them wrong — Paolo Ardoino, Tether The gap with the quarterly reserve reports is fundamental. Those checked balances on one date; this covered the whole balance sheet, income, equity and cash flows, with substantive testing of transactions, valuations and counterparties. Every gold bar was inspected and counted rather than taken on a custodian’s word. Reserves exceeded liabilities by $6.814 billion as of 31 December 2025. An audit confirms the past, not future solvency. But the loudest objection to USDT, alive since 2017, now carries a Big Four signature. #analysis 📈 ByBit: up to $30,000 bonus — my pick for trading! 🔗 My channels: Youtube • X • LinkedIn • Instagram • Threads

☀️ Fear is frozen, yet alts are quietly outrunning bitcoin • Bitcoin: $63,480 (+0.1% 24h, −1.3% 7d) • Ether: $1,887 (+0.5%) • Solana: $75.99 (+0.6%) • Market cap: $2.27T, bitcoin dominance 56.2% • Fear & Greed: 29 — fear (exactly the same as yesterday) • 24h volume: $46.6B Top gainer LEO (+4.7%), worst BCH (−2.9%). Over the past month 25 of 50 altcoins beat bitcoin, against 13 yesterday. Prices are flat, sentiment has not moved for two days — and market breadth has doubled underneath. #market 📈 Ostium — where I trade perpetuals on commodities and indices 🔗 My channels: Youtube • X • LinkedIn • Instagram • Threads

⚡ Kraken brings the S&P 500 into its funded trading program The index was added to Kraken Prop, where the venue puts up the capital and the trader submits signals. Account sizes run from $5,000 to $200,000, leverage is 5x and notional is capped at $1 million. It is not an exchange future but a perpetual priced off an index oracle, so it trades around the clock instead of following exchange hours. This is the second index on the platform after the Nasdaq 100. #project 🔗 My channels: Youtube • X • LinkedIn • Instagram • Threads

💰 Wintermute is moving a billion out of crypto toward traditional markets One of the market’s largest market makers plans to invest about $1 billion over five years in data centres, compute and high-frequency trading systems, Bloomberg reported citing the firm. The goal is stated plainly: by the end of 2027 more than half of revenue should come from outside crypto. Today it is around a tenth. Next in line are equities, commodities, currencies and prediction markets, with Jane Street and Citadel Securities named as the rivals. The reason shows up in volumes: the firm’s average daily volume fell from roughly $15 billion a year ago to $10 billion, and July was weak in spot and derivatives alike. This is not an exit but a move into several houses — the same stack serves bitcoin and an index future. Still, liquidity gets split, and thin pairs are where the spread widens first. #analysis 📈 ByBit: up to $30,000 bonus — my pick for trading! 🔗 My channels: Youtube • X • LinkedIn • Instagram • Threads

👀 What happens if a third of staked SOL goes offline at once? The network stops finalizing blocks: transactions keep going through, but nobody treats them as final until validators come back. The threshold is 33.34% of stake. Yesterday it came within four percentage points. A routing failure at provider Teraswitch took 28.83% of staked SOL offline, hitting about 90 validators; the outage ran 33 minutes and cost roughly 333 SOL in rewards. The cause is not Solana itself but where the machines sit. Per Marinade’s data, a single network segment holds 27.34% of all stake against the foundation’s 25% cap per provider — and 94% of it dropped at the same moment. If you stake SOL, check which provider hosts your validator. A thousand validators inside three data centres is not a thousand points of failure. It is three. #security 📈 ByBit: up to $30,000 bonus — my pick for trading! 🔗 My channels: Youtube • X • LinkedIn • Instagram • Threads

☀️ The week turned negative, fear ticked up • Bitcoin: $63,412 (−0.4% 24h, −1.8% 7d) • Ether: $1,877 (−0.3%) • Solana: $75.57 (−0.9%) • Market cap: $2.26T (−0.5%), bitcoin dominance 56.3% • Fear & Greed: 29 — fear (27 yesterday) • 24h volume: $52.3B Top gainer OKB (+6.5%), worst UNI (−5.7%). Over the month only 13 of 50 altcoins beat bitcoin — yesterday it was 23, so the rotation into alts deflated in a single day. #market 📈 Hyperliquid — where I trade perpetuals 🔗 My channels: Youtube • X • LinkedIn • Instagram • Threads

⚡ 191 megawatts, and not a single new miner Riot leased out capacity at its Rockdale campus in Texas for twenty years, through June 2048. Expected revenue is about $9.1 billion, rising to roughly $16.1 billion if two five-year extensions are exercised. The first 96 MW are due in December 2027, the remaining 95 in June 2028. The release itself calls the tenant “a leading frontier AI lab”, with no name. Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, reports it is Anthropic. The difference between the two businesses is plain. Mining pays in hashrate, coin price and a halving every four years. A lease pays a contracted amount whatever bitcoin does. This is the second tenant at the campus after AMD. #analysis 📈 ByBit: up to $30,000 bonus — my pick for trading! 🔗 My channels: Youtube • X • LinkedIn • Instagram • Threads

👀 The part of assetback people will get wrong. You pick your reward asset once per calendar month, and the change only applies going forward. Rewards already earned are not recalculated. So the choice matters less than people think — and the timing matters more. Stablecoin is the boring pick and the predictable one. BTC and stocks cut both ways: if the asset falls, your reward falls with it. Not every purchase qualifies either — monthly caps, excluded merchant categories, refunds don't count. #BitgetWalletAssetback 🔗 My channels: Youtube • X • LinkedIn • Instagram • Threads
