Do you play trading cards? If you don’t, you’ll be left behind.

The Pokémon trading card market is valued at $10–15 billion, and blockchain projects are trying to tokenize trading.

The market size for Pokémon trading cards is currently about $10–15 billion. This has driven retail chains like Costco to see customers lining up to buy, and Logan Paul’s Pikachu Illustrator card once sold for as much as $16.5 million.

Sales performance from major chains like Target and Walmart, as well as eBay’s $26.2 billion in card sales in 2025, show that trading cards have become an important alternative asset class—recently outperforming the S&P 500 index and Bitcoin.

The blockchain startup Deadstock, launched by ATH Labs, is attempting to tokenize high-grade cards and store them in vaults to address issues in this market such as fragmented trading and slow transaction speeds. The project still faces liquidity challenges, as well as the network-effect advantages of existing platforms like eBay. $SOL

Sold out in under an hour—Pudgy Penguins co-founder Cole Villemain launches Spritehood, minting revenue of $1.28 million

Pudgy Penguins co-founder Cole Villemain was voted out and removed by project holders in January 2022. Early Tuesday morning, Cole Villemain’s 44,444 NFT series Spritehood launched on the Robinhood Chain sold out completely in less than an hour. According to on-chain transaction statistics, this NFT mint generated about $1.28 million in revenue. In the public mint, 37,430 NFTs were sold at a price of $17, and another 5,526 were sold at $117; the latter corresponds to the $100 upgrade option provided on the minting page. Based on the above data, the total sales revenue for this launch was $1.2829 million. Using the contract mint price, this is equivalent to approximately 684.28 ETH. Before the paid sales began, the contract deployer also minted 1,488 NFTs for free via 20 zero-price transactions. $NFT

Everything is completely messed up! Damn it

The BIP-110 new proof-of-work algorithm selection is thrown into chaos. Luke Dashjr proposed deciding the algorithm based on the last character of the first Testnet4 block hash that appears after 14:00 UTC.

The process of selecting the new proof-of-work algorithm for the BIP-110 fork has fallen into chaos. Luke Dashjr proposed using the last character of the first Testnet4 block hash that appears after 14:00 UTC to decide the algorithm. Peter Todd called this method “an extremely crazy decision,” arguing that the mining cost of Testnet4 blocks is low enough that someone could intentionally compute hashes repeatedly to force the result toward a preferred algorithm. After that, multiple competing Testnet4 blocks appeared at the same height.

In the BIP-110 Discord, Luke Dashjr replied: “I’m even more confused.” A participant said they had already ordered Blake2b ASICs before the algorithm was confirmed, then added, “I guess I’ll cancel the order.” Luke Dashjr later admitted that Testnet4 “isn’t a good way to do this,” and suggested that using a valid Bitcoin block could be considered instead. Giacomo Zucco said this incident shows that today, restarting Bitcoin in a fair way is almost impossible. $BTC

Arthur Hayes: ENA could potentially see a 5–10x gain in the coming months
In his latest article, “Situationship,” Arthur Hayes said that Ethena is a stablecoin project currently in a difficult position but has the potential to comfortably rise by 5–10x. He noted that one issue with Ethena is the lack of a buyback mechanism; however, since it is still the sixth-largest U.S. dollar stablecoin by circulating supply, this can be ignored. ENA’s problem is that, due to price declines, the Bitcoin basis yield is not sufficient—so the return from holding USDe is almost the same as that of Treasuries. Therefore, staking synthetic dollars on USDe, while taking on counterparty risk from centralized exchanges and smart-contract risk, really isn’t worth it. That’s why the peak circulating supply has dropped by 75%, and why the ENA token price has fallen more than 90%.
So in the future, even if U.S. dollar liquidity only shows a modest increase, it can push Bitcoin prices higher—thereby lifting basis yields and causing large amounts of capital to flow into USDe. ENA shaking off the slump doesn’t require much, so in the next few months it might be an investment opportunity worth considering for a fast 5x gain.
According to monitoring, since August Arthur Hayes has made massive purchases of ENA. As of August 6, he has accumulated 22.64 million ENA, worth about $2 million. $ENA

Waited another day, and still only 2 blocks—so for now it’s not catching up to the mainnet. But don’t jump to conclusions too early; maybe there’s still a later act.

The BIP-110 forked chain is 326 blocks behind the Bitcoin mainnet. It’s expected to take more than six years before mining difficulty can be adjusted

The Bitcoin rule changes proposed by BIP-110 were triggered by a chain fork on Saturday. The forked chain currently only produces 2 blocks, and then fell into a standstill.

Because the forked chain inherits the Bitcoin mainnet’s high mining difficulty, and its tokens have no market value, miners lack the motivation to support it—causing the chain to fall behind the mainnet by 326 blocks. The forked chain must reach 2016 blocks before it can lower mining difficulty. Currently, it’s expected to require more than six years. Some observers say it’s still too early to conclude that this attempt has failed. $BTC

I guessed it right—sure enough, another Bitcoin fork coin has been created, just like BCH and BSV. But current Bitcoin holders are in luck: they can “free farm” an airdrop out of thin air.

Bitcoin’s BIP-110 fork has stalled, with insufficient support from miners. The BIP-110 developers plan to carry out a hard fork on September 1 to change Bitcoin’s proof-of-work algorithm.

In a post on the X platform, Bitcoin News said that Luke Dashjr stated that the developer meeting’s “progress is going smoothly,” and that related plans are moving forward. The plan is to change Bitcoin’s proof-of-work algorithm via a hard fork. Developers expect to publish the selected hash algorithm tomorrow and enable RTDS starting from the first block. Discussions are also underway regarding block size reduction and replay protection. At the time this message was released, reports emerged that Dashjr is no longer an authorized user of the BIP content repository. If this proposal is implemented, changing the proof-of-work algorithm will create a separate blockchain and effectively form a new clone coin. Existing BTC holders will receive tokens on the forked chain. $BCH

The Bitcoin core team decides to remove an insider.

After the fork stalled, Luke Dashjr’s editing privileges were removed by the Bitcoin BIP editing team.

Bitcoin’s BIP-110 soft fork stalled because its approval rate failed to reach the threshold; thousands of nodes were isolated. Two days after the incident, the Bitcoin BIP editing team removed the editing privileges of the proposal’s leader, Luke Dashjr. Editor Mark Erhardt proposed a motion to remove him, citing reasons including conflicts of interest, fewer contributions, leading a controversial fork, and a breakdown in coordination. Supporters claim that Dashjr used his editing privileges to favor the BIP-110 proposal—assigning numbers and quickly merging PRs before discussion began on the mailing list. Since April 2024, his contributions have been less than 1%. The peak signaling support rate for BIP-110 was 2.53%, far below the 55% threshold; the chain was forced into stasis at block height 961,633. Ocean was the only mining pool that had signaled before the fork; it has now resumed work that is not related to BIP-110. $BTC

Don’t forget to check whether you have won the bid for your subscription of Unitree Technology tomorrow! According to Unitree Technology’s announcement, the issuer and the sponsor (main underwriter) will hold the online subscription lottery drawing ceremony for this offering on the morning of August 11, 2026 (T+1). The online lottery winning results will be announced on August 12, 2026 (T+2).

The relevant announcement shows that, according to data provided by the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the number of valid online subscription accounts for this offering is approximately 9.7846 million. According to Wind data, this number of valid online subscription accounts has set a record high for the history of the STAR Market.

The number of valid shares subscribed online for Unitree Technology is approximately 53.637 billion shares, and the preliminary online winning rate is 0.01206444%.

It is worth noting that, according to the share repurchase mechanism published by Unitree Technology, because the preliminary effective subscription multiple for the online offering is approximately 8,288.82 times—exceeding 100 times—the share repurchase mechanism will be triggered.

After the share repurchase mechanism is triggered, the final number of shares to be issued offline is 22.650148 million shares, accounting for about 70.00% of the number of shares issued after deducting the final strategic placement portion. The final number of shares to be issued online is 9.7070 million shares, accounting for about 30.00% of the number of shares issued after deducting the final strategic placement portion.

After the share repurchase mechanism is triggered, Unitree Technology’s final online winning rate is 0.01809759%. Due to the surge in online subscription demand, this winning rate has hit the lowest level in the history of the STAR Market. Unitree Technology has also become the “hardest” new stock to win in the history of the STAR Market. $SOL

Do we already have a quantum computer? It feels like more and more wallets are being stolen.
In the early stages of a quantum attack, theft may appear as untraceable wallet drain—Tether’s minting keys could become a high-value target.

Quantus, a blockchain startup, founder Christopher Smith said that the first quantum attacks may look like a series of unexplained crypto-wallet thefts rather than a direct theft of Satoshi Nakamoto’s reportedly dormant Bitcoin valued at about $63 billion.

He noted that a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could derive a private key from a public key exposed on the blockchain, allowing attackers to move funds without compromising the wallet, device, or any internal systems at an exchange. In high-security institution theft cases, the only forensic evidence might be the absence of intrusion traces.

Smith said the first targets of quantum attacks may include military systems and national secrets; in the blockchain space, the minting keys of stablecoin issuer Tether, or other assets of even greater value. Attackers could mint tokens out of thin air via a managing wallet and then sell them off before the issuer can respond.

Google has accelerated the timeline for post-quantum migration to 2029; Smith believes the probability that quantum computers will break modern cryptography around 2028 is “50-50.” Related blockchains have already begun migrating to post-quantum signatures.$BTC

Is the crypto market no longer profitable—so you’re quitting and even don’t want the precious ETFs?
Grayscale has repeatedly withdrawn the ETF registration applications for ADA, HBAR, and DOT. No specific reasons were disclosed.

Grayscale (Grayscale) on August 7 consecutively withdrew the ETF registration applications for Cardano (ADA), Hedera (HBAR), and Polkadot (DOT). The time gap between the submission of the three withdrawal documents was about 190 seconds.

All three withdrawal documents state that Grayscale no longer plans to proceed with issuing ETF shares related to these products. The documents also note that the relevant registration statements have not yet become effective. No securities have been issued or sold, and no preliminary prospectus has been published. This withdrawal was not due to the SEC rejecting the related ETF applications, and the documents did not disclose the underlying reasons.

As of August 8, Grayscale’s altcoin ETF applications such as Bittensor, Aave, BNB, NEAR, and Zcash are still in the preliminary stage. Previously, Grayscale’s Avalanche Staking ETF and Hyperliquid Staking ETF registration statements became effective in March and June of this year, respectively. But the fact that a registration statement has become effective does not mean the product has started trading.$ADA

Real or fake? How strong is China？！
For every 100 humanoid robots sold globally, 97 are from Chinese manufacturers.

Chinese humanoid robots have already captured the vast majority of global shipments. According to Smart Analytics Global data, in the first half of 2026, about 19,100 units were shipped worldwide, with over 97% coming from Chinese manufacturers—up by nearly three times year-on-year.

The key new development: ZhiYuan Robotics has overtaken Unitree to become the world’s No. 1. In the first half of the year, ZhiYuan shipped about 8,400 units, accounting for 44% of the global total; Unitree shipped about 5,900 units. Together, the two companies already account for roughly three-quarters of the global total.

An even bigger change is that robots are starting to shift from demonstrations and research into real-world applications. The share of shipments for industrial and commercial use has risen from about 50% a year ago to over 70% today. SAG expects that this year, global humanoid robot shipments will reach about 60,000 units. $SOL

After tinkering for half a day, we still ended up on BCH’s old road—an soft fork turned into a hard fork. In short, it can’t be for nothing; especially we shouldn’t let the miners who support it waste their time. At the very least, we should also send everyone some new “prince coins.” I wonder whether there will be an airdrop to all BTC holders?

BIP-110’s largest miners, the Roughnecks, resume mining; on-chain block production has stalled for 37 hours

According to monitoring by Bitcoin News, BIP-110’s largest miner, the Roughnecks, says it will resume mining on the BIP-110 chain. The Roughnecks previously announced a pause in operations on Saturday. It has been 37 hours since the last block was mined on the BIP-110 chain. The signal hashrate supporting BIP-110 has dropped from over 15 EH/s to 1.16 EH/s. The BIP-110 chain is currently about 250 blocks behind Bitcoin’s original chain, and continuing to mine is extremely costly with limited economic incentives.

Roughnecks says it plans to keep mining until BIP-110 can implement a proof-of-work change. This change will permanently separate the BIP-110 chain from Bitcoin’s existing proof-of-work network, effectively creating a new coin. $BCH
