ChainCatcher message: Arthur Hayes said investors should prepare to buy Bitcoin, and he expects Bitcoin to perform well in the coming years. He believes that if the U.S. continues to expand the money supply, the price of Bitcoin could eventually rise to $250,000. Bitcoin has risen by about 20% since mid-August, pushing its total market value up by $300 billion within hours.
Scott Bessent previously pledged support for the bond market; this week the Treasury has been accused of potentially using nearly $1 trillion from the Treasury’s general account to provide funds for buying bonds. Gadi Chait, an investment manager at Xapo Bank, said Bitcoin rose by about 23% last week, marking the biggest weekly gain since March 2023. Over the same period, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of about $1.9 billion, and a record amount of short liquidations further fueled the rally.

According to a ChainCatcher report, GoPlus Security issued a security alert stating that a fraudulent group hijacked the realtrumpcoins[.]com website and the @realtrumpcoins1 account, and then maliciously issued the GOLD token. The group pumped its market cap to about $60 million, then dumped it and carried out a Rug Pull, making profits of more than $8.2 million.
On-chain data shows that the developers’ initial funds can be traced to a KuCoin-associated hot wallet. In addition, 15 trading-manipulation wallets were funded by Binance-associated hot wallets. These wallets all executed trades through the same malicious routing contract.
GoPlus Security also pointed out that the group deployed another malicious meme coin, Trump Digital Platinum (PLATINUM). Its contract can be cleared at any time of any holder’s balance, warning users to avoid buying and to watch out for risks.

The GCSA Agent demonstrates autonomous vulnerability analysis and PoC generation capabilities in a global, high-difficulty real-world vulnerability benchmark test.
Hong Kong, August 29, 2026 — The Global Cybersecurity Alliance (GCSA) today announced that its GCSA Agent achieved a 91.3% success rate in the CyberGym benchmark test, placing it in the CyberGym “Leading Systems Above 90%” leading-systems tier.
CyberGym (https://www.cybergym.io/cybergym) is a large-scale real-world cybersecurity evaluation framework developed by a research team at the University of California, Berkeley in the United States. It includes 1,507 historical real-world vulnerability test instances, covering 188 major software projects. It is designed to assess the real-world performance of AI agents in practical vulnerability analysis scenarios.

ChainCatcher message: Blockchain technology company Starkware states that a transaction using a quantum-robust anti-quantum bit Bitcoin (QSB) scheme by researcher Avihu Levy was mined on the Bitcoin mainnet, without requiring a soft fork, hard fork, or changes to consensus rules.
The transaction consumes 10,000 sats and is processed via the MARA Foundation’s Slipstream service. Because the format is non-standard, it usually cannot propagate in Bitcoin’s public mempool. The test took hours of GPU computation and costs about $150 to $200. QSB uses hash-function-based quantum-resistant spending conditions and reduces quantum-attack risk by performing signature-triggered trial mining, but users still need to actively migrate funds; it cannot protect assets whose public keys have already been exposed. Starkware CEO Eli Ben-Sasson still supports rolling out a protocol-level solution via a soft fork.

According to a message reported by CryptoSlate, ChainCatcher said that Polygon Labs issued an emergency notice: after the Austin and Kyoto hard forks were activated, Polygon PoS nodes that were still running the old Bor or Heimdall versions had fallen out of consensus. They need to upgrade and catch up with the network’s progress. Austin was activated at mainnet block 91,949,700, requiring Bor v2.1.0 or higher; Kyoto was activated at height 51,533,000, requiring Heimdall v0.11.0 or higher.
Austin fixed two types of Bor resource exhaustion risks: bridge state synchronization events from L1 to L2 not being included in the gas limit could slow down block processing; the TxDependency field has no size limit, which can cause peer nodes to crash. Kyoto fixed vulnerabilities including deeply nested message attacks, fee coin scanning, checkpoint signature recovery, and more. Both hard forks were pure binary upgrades with no state migration, so non-forked nodes do not need to resync. Old client operators should upgrade and, if necessary, restore syncing under Polygon’s guidance.

ChainCatcher message: Liquid Capital founder Jack Yi (Yi Lihua) posted on the X platform saying: “As expected, there has been a slight pullback. If the pullback continues to around $75,500, it will be a great new opportunity. I continue to look for an upside after the slight pullback. Investing and trading are the hardest things. I entered the BTC industry mining at low levels in 2015. Later, I successfully invested in quantum, and I also caught the crazy 2017 bull market. That was entirely luck, but at the time I thought it was ability, since earlier I had some experience in starting and investing in the traditional industries.”

ChainCatcher reports that, according to The Defiant, oracle provider RedStone’s report shows that Stellar’s on-chain tokenized RWA assets surpassed USD 3 billion in July, a significant increase from USD 785 million in January, while total DeFi total value locked (TVL) was only USD 213 million. Lending protocol Blend holds USD 127 million, and the pool accepting RWA as collateral is only slightly over USD 2 million, indicating that RWA issuance has been running ahead of on-chain availability.
Growth is driven mainly by four products: Amundi and Spiko overnight swap funds (USD 713 million), the Spiko T-Bill fund (USD 536 million), Ondo USDY (over USD 533 million), and VuMe Bond 2030 (USD 500 million). RedStone said that the settlement cycle for RWA does not match the 24/7 on-chain lending market, and that the pricing mechanism is the main bottleneck at present. Stellar already has 55 SEP-40 price data sources provided by RedStone. RedStone also mentioned that DTCC plans to bring its USD 1.14 quadrillion in custodial assets to Stellar in 2027.

According to a ChainCatcher report, Jiang Zhuoer posted that on Friday, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw net outflows of $202 million, ending nine consecutive days of net inflows. Ethereum spot ETFs remain strong, continuing to record net inflows of $102 million. He believes that after this round of sharp gains, the market has a large amount of trapped bearish positions and sells-off demand from profit-taking near the bottom. Whether prices can hold at elevated levels depends on whether there is enough incoming capital. ETF flows and the Coinbase premium are important indicators for assessing whether there is sufficient follow-through from buyers.
Jiang Zhuoer said that comments from Federal Reserve Chair Waller, which were perceived as hawkish, had a significant impact on the market—causing key Friday ETF data to turn negative and further weakening weekend trading. Currently, BTC is facing its first test since the recent upswing. A drop in the early hours may signal the start of a trend-based decline. He has already sold 50% of his ETH spot holdings during the fall and will continue to monitor the weekend performance.

ChainCatcher message: The AI-driven DeFi execution platform ORO (formerly Oroswap) announced the completion of a strategic funding round of $3 million. The round was led by MH Ventures and Mapleblock Capital, with participation from M2M Capital, Archer Capital, x21 Digital, BlockRise, Zerone Venture, Beenco Labs, Velion Venture, Disrupt.com, and ZIGChain.
With ORO, natural-language instructions can be converted into on-chain actions, supporting swapping, staking, lending, cross-chain bridging, and multi-protocol asset management. The platform uses a non-custodial architecture: it includes a Shield Engine to simulate transactions before execution and submit them for user confirmation, while also providing an API for third-party application integration.
