On YouTube, the viewing count will start increasing as soon as the video begins playing from August 24. There will be no minimum viewing time. The rule applies to uploads, Shorts, and live streams worldwide.
The total number of views will grow rapidly. However, the number that determines the payout will be in a submenu that most creators never access. For those who are not yet monetizing, the challenge to reach the program will be harder.

The Treasury’s new rules for stablecoins will determine which dollar-pegged tokens can be offered legally to buyers in the US. The chains that already operate with a licensed dollar have an advantage, and six altcoins are closer to that scenario.
Nothing has been defined yet, and the Treasury has opened a 60-day consultation period. The final deadlines fall in January 2027 and July 2028.
How do the Treasury’s new stablecoin rules classify chains?
Congress approved the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act in July 2025. The proposal is straightforward: a dollar-pegged token needs a license in the United States to be offered to American users.

Lost a form, lost your money. That is the lesson from FTX’s bankruptcy proceedings, and it underpins the only dispute scheduled for August 19.
A court calendar filed on Monday keeps only one customer request before Chief Judge Karen B. Owens. Applicant Daizhuo Chen is seeking a second chance for a verification deadline he missed.
What remains on FTX’s bankruptcy docket
Chen filed his request on March 27. He asks that Owens reverse her refusal to allow him to complete the verifications after the deadline.

Short positions against XRP are increasing on Binance, while deposits from large investors on the exchange have fallen to the lowest level in four years.
The combination results in concentrated bearish bets and an increasingly scarce sell-side supply in the market.
XRP open interest rebounds after July contraction
The open interest of XRP on Binance rose from approximately US$181 million on August 3 to US$232.7 million on August 17, according to analyst Amr Taha. This represents a 28.6% increase over two weeks and the highest level since June 2026.

Binance plans to apply for a license from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK five years after the regulator prevented its British unit from carrying out regulated activities.
The Telegraph revealed the plan on Saturday. The United Kingdom opens the application window on September 30. This gives the exchange a path to resume operating in a market currently served from overseas.
Binance license offer to the FCA faces a narrow window
The FCA published its final rules for crypto on June 30. Three dates are now relevant.

With an AI-driven supply squeeze, Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) stands out among copper stocks.
The largest copper miner in the US is trading near US$66.50 after a sharp rise year-to-date. The chart points to a bullish continuation pattern that could take the stock to US$87, while the financial market still rates it as a strong buy. The backdrop is demand driven by AI, which needs far more copper than the market is able to supply.
What is driving the tightening?

Bitcoin has just absorbed a US$390 million shock, and an alert issued by JPMorgan in April explains why. Institutions pulled that amount from spot Bitcoin ETFs last week, while oil prices surged and the Strait of Hormuz remained closed.
Bitcoin’s price remains near US$63,500 despite these withdrawals; however, selling has followed a straight path from the blockage of the shipping route to inflation, reaching the crypto order books.

The Casas Bahia Group filed for judicial bankruptcy recovery on Sunday night (16). The action was filed with the 2nd Court of Bankruptcy and Judicial Reorganizations of São Paulo. In the petition, the retailer states liabilities of R$ 17.3 billion.
Judicial bankruptcy recovery is the process in which a debt-laden company asks the courts for time to renegotiate its debts and avoid bankruptcy. During this period, collections are suspended and the company submits a payment plan to creditors.

An Argentine who saved the equivalent of US$ 10 thousand in cash in pesos between 2016 and 2026 ended the decade with about US$ 114 in value converted to dollars.
This loss of nearly 99% explains why the dollar has become part of everyday financial life across Latin America. Workers receive salaries in stablecoins, while businesses use digital dollars to raise revenue and pay international suppliers.
The Exodus Economy, a new report by BeInCrypto Intelligence, describes this process as bottom-up dollarization. People remain in their countries, but increasingly move their finances outside local banks. Protection behind these dollar balances varies widely.

Executives and the Central Bank (BC) see legal certainty as a competitive advantage, but they point out that the maturing of the rules, greater transparency regarding participants, and market efficiency will be decisive in expanding liquidity and attracting institutional capital.
Regulation and liquidity drive the institutional market for digital assets in Brazil
The topic was discussed in the panel “Regulation and Liquidity: the advantage that Brazil is building to create a powerful and liquid institutional market for digital assets,” held on the Main Stage of Blockchain.RIO. Participants included Charles Aboulafia, CEO of Cainvest; Tatiana Guazzelli, partner at Pinheiro Neto Advogados; and Pedro Nascimento, representative from the Department of Regulation of the Financial System (Denor) of the Central Bank. The discussion was moderated by BeInCrypto journalist Aline Fernandes.

The founder of Cardano, Charles Hoskinson, published a free tool that removes Anthropic watermarks from Claude responses. He called the feature Anthropies, a fusion of the names Anthropic and herpes.
The project was made available on GitHub on Sunday, five days after Anthropic rolled out invisible watermarks in all Claude products. Hoskinson released the tool under the Apache 2.0 license.
How does Anthropic’s watermark work
Anthropic now marks Claude’s text directly in the model itself. The implementation complies with the transparency code of the European Union’s AI Act, which has been in force since August 2.

Bitget announced yesterday (14) the appointment of Noah Cheung as country manager for Brazil. The position is equivalent to the general director role for a national operation. Cheung will now lead the exchange’s strategy in the Brazilian market.
The company presents itself as the largest UEX in the world. The acronym stands for universal exchange, or universal brokerage. The term describes platforms that bring together crypto trading, financial products, and infrastructure services in a single environment.
In his new role, Cheung will oversee the company’s relationship with Brazil’s digital asset ecosystem. He is also expected to strengthen ties with local market participants and support Bitget’s long-term strategy in the country, always in compliance with applicable laws and regulatory requirements.

Disney shares closed at US$106.85 on Friday, up 1.96% on the day and 11.19% over the last month. Marvel Studios released a new Avengers: Doomsday trailer at D23 hours before.
The rally began well before the release of this material. Disney posted a strong result for the fiscal third quarter this month, and the shares have been rising steadily since then.
What really drove Disney’s shares this month?
Financial results were the main driver of this move, not Marvel. Disney’s most recent quarter showed revenue of US$25.2 billion, up 7% year over year, and segmented operating profit of US$5.6 billion. Adjusted earnings per share reached US$2.06, versus US$1.61.

Two sovereign funds from Abu Dhabi lost US$118 million in BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF position in the last quarter. No one sold a single share, new documents sent to the SEC show.

A solution that connects the circular economy, income generation, and child protection in Boipeba, in the south of Bahia, with blockchain and programmable money. This is the proposal of Raízes do Futuro, the winning project of the first edition of the Youth Challenge Blockchain UNICEF, an initiative carried out with support from Superteam Brasil (STBR) and Blockchain Rio.
Onchain circular economy
In Boipeba, the group’s proposal is to transform the work of collecting and recycling waste into a source of resources capable of directly financing needs related to the health and education of children in the community.

Justin Sun claims that Binance’s restrictions on HTX affect only users in the United Kingdom and the European Union. The statement from Binance itself does not establish that limit.
The founder of HTX made this statement with the deadline of August 23 approaching. He also said that HTX is already in negotiations with authorities from the United Kingdom and the European Union.
What Sun said
The comments were published in a post on X on Friday night, just a few hours after the announcement of Binance’s blacklist.

Tom Lee, of Fundstrat, predicts the S&P 500 will reach 8,000 by the end of August. He also estimates a 10% correction and argues that the market would benefit from going through that adjustment.
Lee presented his analysis on CNBC after a slight July inflation print boosted stocks to new all-time highs. Crypto investors who track Bitcoin at $63k may find the argument uncomfortably familiar.
Why does Tom Lee prefer a correction before the moves reach 8,000?

BeInCrypto’s analysis on licensing records in Europe points to the leadership of custody firms and banks. Authorizations to operate trading environments are rare; Circle dominates the supply of compatible stablecoins, and enforcement actions are concentrated in a single country.
The transition period for cryptoassets in Europe ended on July 1, 2026. About forty days later, the licensed market is still taking shape.
The register of the European Securities and Markets Authority, updated on August 12, shows 329 authorization lines. These correspond to 324 identifiable legal entities, since some companies appear more than once due to additional permissions or duplicate registrations.
