$ACE $AKE $VELVET ☠️ User lost $550,000 on Hyperliquid due to a fake website on Google
The attackers placed an ad on Google that led to a Hyperliquid clone site. The user clicked it and as a result lost approximately 550,000 USDC. On-chain data shows three transfers to addresses associated with the attacker.
⚠️ At the same time, Hyperliquid’s infrastructure itself was not breached — the user was targeted via phishing. Google has already blocked the advertiser.
😬 The most dangerous part is that the fraudulent link was right among the search results and looked like a normal official site.
Crypto: one wrong link — minus half a million.

$AKE $ACE $VELVET 🚨 Binance tightens sanctions screws
Binance limits transaction processing with a number of crypto platforms due to new sanctions compliance requirements.
⚠️ Starting August 23, another 11 platforms will be covered by the restrictions:
• Rapira
• Aifory Pro
• ABCeX
• WhiteBird
• NoOnecrypto
• Tradex
• Monease
• BitPapa
• Exnode / Exnode Pay
• HTX
• EXMO
Some of the restrictions are already in effect, and the new ones will be implemented in stages. Transactions involving the affected platforms may be sent for additional checks or blocked.
The reason is the EU’s strengthened sanctions oversight of crypto services that authorities associate with potential sanctions evasion against Russia.
🔴 Important: this is not about banning BTC, USDT, or other cryptocurrencies themselves. Binance is tightening controls specifically for counterparties and related transfers.
August 23 — new cutoff point for crypto transfers.

$AVAAI $AKE $APR 🚨🇰🇷 CEO Delio gets 15 years in prison for crypto fraud
A Seoul court sentenced the head of crypto platform Jeong Sang-ho to 15 years in prison.
💰 The court found proven the embezzlement of about ₩70 billion ($49.2 million) from clients, as well as misappropriation and the use of forged documents.
At the same time, the larger charge — ₩250 billion ($175.6 million) — was dismissed: key evidence had been obtained illegally.
Delio offered clients returns on crypto deposits, but in June 2023 it suddenly halted withdrawals. In November 2024, the company filed for bankruptcy.
⚠️ Prosecutors sought 20 years, but the court settled on 15.

$BTW $APR $ACU 😆 Trump was sued for selling posts to traders
Trump Media launched the Truth API — a paid service for funds and traders that provides ultra-fast access to posts from 10 influential Truth Social accounts.
💰 The price is about $1.2 million per year.
Now The Intercept and the Freedom of the Press Foundation, with support from CREW, have filed a lawsuit against Trump.
⚖️ The plaintiffs argue that you can’t sell paid access to the president’s official statements before journalists and regular users get them. The lawsuit cites violations of the First and Fifth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
For algorithmic traders, the difference of a few milliseconds can have real financial value.
The presidential post → milliseconds of advantage → $1.2 million per year.
The U.S. market has found a new level of monetizing a news hook 😂

$APR $BR $CYS 🔥 The whale lost $25.6M again — three years after the previous attack
An unknown crypto investor has lost assets of approximately $25.6M. According to Scam Sniffer, the attacker allegedly gained access to the private key and drained two wallets in just 15 minutes.
😳 But the harshest part is that this isn’t the whale’s first loss.
In September 2023, the same investor lost about $24.2M after signing a malicious approval to transfer tokens. Then, the hacker later returned roughly 90% of the funds.
💀 Total potential losses from the two attacks — about $49.8M.
Crypto once again reminds us: a single compromised key can cost tens of millions.

$APR $FHE $VELVET 🚨 Harmony was attacked: hackers illegally issued 4 billion ONE
Harmony faced a critical exploit: the perpetrators managed to create about 4 billion new $ONE — roughly 26% of the existing supply.
🔥 According to on-chain analysts, about 2.8 billion ONE have already been sent to exchanges, increasing pressure on the price. The token fell by approximately 26%.
⚠️ The attack is linked to token issuance via the “empty blocks” mechanism. Harmony is already coordinating with exchanges to freeze funds, preparing a patch, and considering a network rollback.
If a rollback does in fact take place, some transactions after the selected point may be removed from the blockchain history.

$BTR $PROM $VELVET 🔥 xAI launches Grok Bot — AI employees that work 24/7
Grok has received its own virtual computer and can now work with websites and applications on its own, carrying out tasks from start to finish.
🤖 Key points: — it works even with services without APIs, via a standard interface;
— you can run multiple agents at once;
— one agent can coordinate other agents;
— just show the workflow once—then the bot repeats the process by itself.
In essence, xAI turns Grok from a chatbot into a virtual employee that can work while a person sleeps.
⚡ The beta is already available to SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra, and Cursor Teams Premium subscribers. For enterprise customers—waitlist.

$BLUAI $VELVET $RVN 🚨 RAVENCOIN UNDER ATTACK: RVN CRASHED BY 19%
A critical consensus vulnerability has been found on the Ravencoin network — some nodes were accepting invalid blocks.
⚠️ 2Miners and RavenMiner pools, which control a significant share of the hashrate, are mining an alternative chain. If it becomes the main chain, the blockchain could roll back by about 3 days.
Exchanges were advised to temporarily suspend RVN deposits and withdrawals.
📉 RVN has already dropped by 19.5% in a day to ~$0.0029.
Market cap — about $47M.
Year-to-date: −58%.
This is no longer just a drawdown — the market is pricing in the risk of a serious network reorganization.

$BLUAI $VELVET $BTR 🔥 RIOT + Anthropic = a new AI giant?
Bernstein raised its target price for Riot Platforms (RIOT) shares from $30 to $35, expecting about 80% upside.
The reason: a $9.1 billion contract with a leading AI lab, which, according to The Block, is Anthropic.
Key change: Riot is gradually transforming from a Bitcoin miner into an AI infrastructure company.
📊 According to Bernstein’s estimates: • 84% of Riot’s value is AI infrastructure
• 11% — BTC mining
• 5% — Bitcoin on the balance sheet
The company has already signed contracts for 241 MW of AI capacity and plans to scale up to 391 MW by 2030.
💰 But there’s a catch: to carry out its plans, Riot may need another ~$3.7 billion in financing.
Miners no longer just want to mine BTC — they want to profit from the AI boom.

$GUA $BLUAI $BICO 🔥 Arthur Hayes: a “printing press” for yen could send BTC to the Moon
Hayes believes the US and Japan could choose an unusual way to strengthen the yen: Japan would pledge US Treasuries to the Fed via FIMA, receive dollars, and exchange them for yen.
The main effect is an increase in dollar liquidity. According to Hayes’ logic:
💵 more liquidity → 📈 more demand for risk → 🚀 BTC and crypto get a powerful boost.
To scale the scheme, in his view, it will be necessary to lift the $60 billion cap per FIMA participant and expand the participant pool, including Japan’s pension fund GPIF.
Hayes himself remains bullish on BTC and ETH, and for ENA he allows for potential 5–10x growth in the event of a sharp increase in dollar liquidity.
⚠️ Important: this is Hayes’ scenario, not an announced Fed policy. Actual FIMA expansion has not yet been confirmed.
If Hayes is right, then the next big BTC pump may start not with an ETF, but with the yen. 👀

$BLUAI $GUA $SQD 🚨 Gemini awaits BTC at $150–180K by the end of 2026
Google Gemini predicted that Bitcoin will trade in the $150,000–180,000 range by the end of the year.
The main argument is the effect of the fourth halving: issuance has decreased, while demand remains.
The starting point of the forecast is around $65,100, and the target range implies potential growth of more than 2x 🚀
But there’s a catch: this is an AI forecast, not Wall Street or a bank’s analysis. Gemini relies on historical patterns and does not account for all future market factors.
📈 $180K for BTC — a realistic target or an overly optimistic AI prediction?

Starlink could grow to 100,000 satellites—up from about 10,000 now.
And future versions of the network may be more than 50 times more powerful than the current V2. ⚡️
The main upgrade is Starlink V3: more bandwidth, more beams, and scaling the constellation thanks to Starship.
Musk already predicts that, in the long run, Starlink could account for more than 90% of the world’s IP traffic.

$GUA $TST $SQD 🇺🇸 Ex–Pentagon chief: Clarity Act — a national security issue
Mark Esper urged the Senate to urgently pass the Clarity Act.
In his view, bitcoin, blockchain, and dollar-denominated stablecoins are becoming part of the global struggle for financial influence.
⚡ If the U.S. doesn’t set the rules first, others will. The main rival is China, which is developing its own payment infrastructure.
The Clarity Act itself should bring crypto business and capital back under American jurisdiction, and also strengthen AML/KYC and the U.S. Treasury’s sanctions tools.
But there’s a catch: on August 6, the Senate already blocked a procedural vote, and the next review is expected in September.
