加密貨幣交易所 BitMart 不到一個月前才宣布將關閉平台，如今卻傳出正評估重組方案，未來可能一邊向債權人分配資產，一邊分階段恢復部分業務。
BitMart 在公告中表示，潛在的計畫可能包括有序恢復部分業務，並同時向債權人進行資產分配。為此，BitMart 已聘請國際律師事務所 White & Case 擔任重組顧問，預計將在 9 月 9 日對外公布具體的重組路線圖。
回顧 7 月 26 日發布的停業通知，BitMart 當時僅以營運狀況、市場環境及未來發展策略等空泛理由帶過，並未說明關閉平台的具體原因。
營運 9 年後喊停　BMX 代幣曾暴跌近 6 成
在加密貨幣市場營運約 9 年的 BitMart，先前已全面停止接受新用戶註冊、充值及交易下單服務，並將期貨帳戶轉為「只減倉模式」，也就是只能平倉、不能新增部位。
BitMart 原定 8 月 26 日停止所有交易，並打算在 2027 年 1 月 31 日全面終止平台營運；在此之前，用戶仍可提款，但必須接受額外的合規審查。
在最初的停業公告發布後，BitMart 平台代幣 BMX 隨即遭遇重挫，單日跌幅一度達 58%，今年以來累計跌幅更擴大至 83% 。
如今 BitMart 改口評估分階段恢復部分業務，代表原先的關閉計畫可能存在調整空間。不過，目前 BitMart 尚未公布哪些業務可能重新啟動、債權人將如何獲得分配，以及重整方案的具體資金安排。

The founder of the world’s largest hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates, Ray Dalio, has warned that as the U.S. government’s debt problems continue to deteriorate, they will ultimately weaken the U.S. dollar and erode the appeal of bonds. Investors should allocate “some Bitcoin” in their asset portfolios.
Dalio noted that a series of recent changes in the U.S. Treasury market closely matches the debt cycle he described in his book, How Countries Go Broke, including: Japan starting to reduce its holdings of U.S. Treasuries; long-term yields rising against the odds as the dollar weakens; and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announcing an expansion of U.S. Treasury buybacks.

Benefiting from Grayscale’s active push to convert its Zcash trust fund into an ETF, Zcash (ZEC) surged early this morning on the 24th, once spiking to $885.42, the highest level since 2018. Not only did it outperform the broader market in the week, but the futures market also saw an astonishing record of trading volume.
According to CoinGecko market data, Zcash (ZEC) had pulled back to $844.24 at the time of writing, but its gain over the past 7 days still reached 71.4%. Fueled by this fierce rally, ZEC’s total market capitalization jumped to $14.28 billion, moving into the position of the world’s 11th-largest cryptocurrency.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has expanded its long-term bond repurchase operations, sparking market discussions about liquidity and the dollar’s purchasing power. Financial bestseller author (Rich Dad Poor Dad) Robert Kiyosaki has strongly criticized it as well, saying this move is a “backdoor form of quantitative easing (QE).” He harshly condemns the U.S. government for mass-printing “counterfeit money (legal tender)” and urges investors to shift toward scarce assets such as gold, silver, and Bitcoin, so that their assets can be preserved amid America’s looming debt crisis.
Ministry of Finance: This is not quantitative easing
所谓“quantitative easing (QE)” refers to a central bank increasing the money supply by purchasing financial assets, typically with the goal of lowering long-term interest rates and stimulating the economy. However, U.S. authorities have a completely different interpretation of this operation.

A new wave of fund frenzy is sweeping across the crypto world again! According to SoSoValue data, U.S. Bitcoin and Ether spot ETFs combined to see total inflows of $2.6 billion last week. Not only did this reverse the bleeding trend from the prior week, it also marked the strongest single-week performance since October 2025, while trading volume also surged with explosive growth. This wave of capital—sparked by institutional buying—is boosting overall market optimism across the cryptocurrency sector.
Further breaking down the data: Bitcoin spot ETFs drew in $1.9 billion last week, while Ether spot ETFs saw inflows of $697 million, with both setting their best single-week inflow records since the start of this year.

As the FTX case wraps up, Ellison and Wang are hit with trading bans by the CFTC
Two former core senior executives who had assisted U.S. prosecutors in bringing down FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) have now achieved an important breakthrough in a regulatory case. On August 19, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) completed the civil enforcement proceedings against Caroline Ellison, the former CEO of Alameda Research, and Gary Wang, a co-founder of FTX. Both face multi-year trading and registration bans.
Pursuant to a supplemental consent order approved by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, both Ellison and Wang are banned from trading commodities and related products under the CFTC’s jurisdiction for five years. Ellison also faces a 10-year CFTC registration ban, while Wang’s is for eight years.

Is the bear gone? Coinbase CEO: Bitcoin could hit $400,000 by 2030
American listed cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong recently, when accepting an interview on the (Fox Business) program, optimistically predicted that by 2030 Bitcoin is “very likely” to reach the $300,000 to $400,000 mark.
Armstrong said that after about a year of a bear market, the Bitcoin spot trading market has now reached a time point quite close to the average correction cycle of 370 to 380 days in past bear markets. The market generally expects that the bear market is nearing its end and that a new bull market is about to begin.

OCC aims to complete the final rules in November, ushering stablecoin regulation into the implementation stage
The U.S. stablecoin regulatory framework is rapidly moving into practical implementation.

Gould said at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium held in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, that the OCC has already begun drafting the relevant rules in advance. It is currently compiling industry feedback on the proposals and hopes to complete the final version according to the established schedule.

After more than three months, Ethereum’s price has finally crossed the $2,300 mark.
Externally, a rebound in macro risk appetite, improved regulatory expectations, and short-squeeze dynamics have provided direct impetus for ETH’s rally; internally, spot ETFs continue to attract inflows, institutional allocations are accelerating, and the scale of ETH staking continues to climb, all of which are steadily improving the market’s medium- to long-term outlook for Ethereum.
Ethereum’s strong “recovery” — for the first time in this bear market, it stands above the golden line.
E guard, we finally waited for Ethereum’s strong “recovery.”
According to CoinGecko data, as of August 21, the price of ETH has risen to around $2,354, returning to early-May levels this year.

MANTRA Chain, which focuses on putting traditional financial assets like funds and bonds on-chain, suffered a vulnerability attack earlier today (21). Before the network went down, its native token $MANTRA briefly plunged 18.5%, hitting a historical low. After that, the entire blockchain network was forced to shut down completely and stop producing blocks. Even transactions, deposits/withdrawals, and cross-chain functions were affected, triggering widespread panic in the market.
According to CoinGecko data, $MANTRA this morning slid from $0.005060 all the way down to a low of $0.004126. It later rebounded to around $0.0044, but the 24-hour drop still reached 10%. At the same time, token trading volume surged nearly 600% to about $24 million.

The U.S. Treasury announced an increase in the size of long-term bond repurchases to curb a surge in borrowing costs, boost market risk appetite, and spur Bitcoin to accelerate rapidly, surging to over $79,000 at one point today (the 21st). The chief macro strategist, Mark Connors, believes that expanding U.S. Treasury bond repurchases could help ease the heavy selling pressure that has weighed on the crypto market for a long time, and he expects Bitcoin to move toward $180,000.
Bosent said in an interview with CNBC: “We want the market to know that current bond yields do not reflect the true fundamentals, and the government still has many policy tools at its disposal.”

U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Mike Selig said on Thursday that if Congress cannot pass the (Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act)), the U.S. CFTC will use its existing authorities to personally develop alternative regulations for the cryptocurrency market.
Mike Selig pointed out at the first meeting of the Innovation Advisory Committee that if the Senate is unable to successfully pass the (CLARITY Act), the U.S. CFTC will set up a dedicated regulatory label for the crypto asset market (CMA) company. Conceptually, this is similar to the CFTC’s existing "Designated Contract Market (DCM)" system. He said:

U.S. President Trump held a closed-door meeting at the White House Oval Office on Wednesday with executives from the cryptocurrency industry and traditional finance. Those present said Trump has shown considerable optimism about the (CLARITY Act), and the U.S. government is working to push the bill through Congress as soon as next month.
On Wednesday afternoon, after President Trump held a press conference with technology industry leaders and the heads of federal regulatory agencies, some corporate executives were invited into the Oval Office. Earlier at the press conference, Trump said regulators are studying how to enable Hyperliquid to enter the U.S. market legally, and he urged Congress to pass a “fair version” of the (CLARITY Act).

Today (21st), Bitcoin briefly broke through $75,000, setting a new high in more than three months. This surge show—driven by liquidity released by the U.S. Treasury, favorable policy news, and a “short-squeeze” rally—has caused the bears to suffer losses amounting to billions of dollars. However, even as the market celebrates, some analysts warn that there is a risk of overinterpreting the current rally. Is this rebound just a flicker of false strength, or the true starting point of a bull market?
According to CoinGecko price data, Bitcoin has currently fallen to $74,533, with a 24-hour increase of 8.1%.

On August 16, Cuban posted on the social media platform X, saying, "Chips as an asset class will become the new cryptocurrency," and believes that as the AI industry rapidly expands, high-end AI chips and the underlying computing power may gradually form a new asset market.

On a Friday afternoon in the U.S. East Coast time zone, a seemingly ordinary encrypted company remote interview quietly got underway.
The HR specialist “Sophie Wang” on one end of the screen—her real identity is Laura Shin, the CEO of (Unchained) media. She is a Korean-American media professional who has for years tracked cybersecurity threats from North Korea, and whose ancestors were a group of “defectors” who fled Pyongyang.
On the other end of the video, a young engineer “Justin Lim” logged on precisely for the interview at local time 4 a.m., fighting sleepiness—but he is highly likely to be in Russia’s Vladivostok, and has been implicated in stealing $2.7 million as a North Korea–level hacker.

Under the leadership of Elon Musk, social media platform X is taking another key step into the cryptocurrency space. To address global content creators’ pain points with cross-border payments, X is actively exploring the adoption of stablecoins as a new channel for revenue sharing.
(CoinDesk) Citing sources familiar with the matter, it said that X is evaluating how to use stablecoins such as USDC to pay creators and users who publish content on the platform with revenue-sharing compensation.
The source is also currently helping other community platforms test stablecoin payment features. They pointed out that discussions regarding X’s stablecoin payment feature are still ongoing.

After months of sluggish consolidation, the cryptocurrency market has finally seen a strong rebound! On Wednesday, U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs showcased a “money-pooling” play, with a net inflow of $517 million in a single day—injecting fresh confidence into the market and setting the highest net inflow record in over three months.
According to data analytics platform SoSoValue, among the 12 Bitcoin spot ETFs in the U.S., 8 have recorded net capital inflows. Among them, IBIT under asset management giant BlackRock performed the best, pulling in $284 million on the day. ARKB, launched jointly by ARK Invest and 21Shares, and FBTC from Fidelity followed closely, attracting $77.7 million and $62.4 million respectively. This is the largest single-day net inflow for Bitcoin spot ETFs since May 4 of this year.

Bitcoin today (20th) has rebounded strongly, breaking through the $70,000 mark, but it has also cost investors who previously placed large short positions dearly. CoinGlass data shows that in just the past 24 hours, approximately $3 billion worth of short positions were forcibly liquidated, setting the largest single-day short liquidation volume since records began in 2021.
According to CoinGlass data, over the past 24 hours, more than 183,000 traders were liquidated, with the total amount liquidated across the market reaching $3.264 billion. Of this, short positions accounted for about $3 billion, while long liquidations were only about $263 million.
