Sheldon Lee said a Chinese-language X account making the claims was hacked. Users want wallets, assets and liabilities disclosed.
"To this day, a bunch of users still can't withdraw their own money, and a bunch of employees haven't even received their last month's salary or the compensation they're owed. This isn't some business dispute that can just be brushed off with a single 'ceasing operations' statement," the post said.
We have collected full evidence of the content on X, all of which is fabricated rumors," Lee said. "During daytime US time, we will file a police report and send a lawyer's letter to X, demanding technical and data forensics."
Regarding unpaid staff, the founder of the Cayman Islands-based crypto exchange said, employee assets "are not prioritized over client assets, everyone is a client, and there are no privileges."
An X user known as BeardStaff said their assets had been inaccessible since the July 26 announcement, and that a dedicated VIP manager removed them from Telegram the day withdrawals stalled. “Where is my $10 million?” they posted.
Roshan Dharia, CEO of distressed investment firm Echo Base, told CoinDesk via Telegram that his firm has offered BitMart a funded restructuring package including debtor-in-possession financing and equity at emergence, underwritten by Echo Base as a claimholder. He said BitMart has not responded.
A custodial book this size can’t be resolved consensually, because you can’t reliably reach such a dispersed retail customer base, and every user you miss keeps a claim in full," Dharia said. "There is no version of this that ends well without going to court. The only question for the board is whether BitMart walks in with a plan and a funded sponsor, or is taken there by its own claimants."
If no verifiable response is received by the deadline, the unidentified poster on X said they would submit all available data, fund leads, and evidence to law enforcement, regulators, lawyers, and the media worldwide.

The protocol pioneered decentralized finance lending, but assets locked have tumbled from a peak five years ago. Now it's looking to attract institutions after retail traders lost interest.
As an industry, DeFi is operating from a weakened base. TVL across the sector has fallen by more than a third since the start of the year to roughly $70 billion, driven by a broad correction in the crypto market, compressed yields and a run of protocol exploits, including the $292 million KelpDAO hack in April. Still, the sector is forecast to reach $2.7 trillion by 2030, with tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) among the fastest-growing segments, according to a Standard Chartered projection.
Now is a great time for initiatives like these, where real capital goes toward both the structural work and the bringing in of bright minds from the institutional sphere who can explain it to a risk committee in their own language,” said Gal Stern, chief business development officer at deBridge, over Telegram. “That combination is what brings institutional confidence back."
The new team includes Chief Operating Officer Christopher Donovan, who previously held the same role at the Near Foundation. Steven Liu, who scaled Maple Finance from $500 million to $5 billion in assets, joins as chief product officer and the former CEO of Coinbase Custody, Aaron Schnarch, becomes an executive director. Other appointees join from Anchorage Digital, HSBC, Broadridge Financial and Maple Finance, the company said.
DeFi is a remarkable innovation; however, it has achieved limited institutional adoption," Schnarch said in a statement. "Current product offerings fall short of meeting the traditional finance bar, especially as it pertains to compliance and technical requirements."
The move is a logical response to the shift in DeFi's user base, according to Ran Hammer, chief business officer at Orbs.
Retail participation is a fraction of what it was, and the chain has quietly become a venue for settlement, execution and interaction between financial institutions," Hammer said. “Since DeFi summer, the space has turned into something completely different, essentially a new financial layer for institutions. So bringing in leadership that speaks that language is exactly the right direction."
The size of the allocated budget, the largest approved by Compound's decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), may help underline its commitment.
The $52 million and a bench with that much institutional experience is a serious move, and it should improve its execution," said Himanshu Sahay, co-founder and chief technology officer of crypto lending firm Arch Lending, but institutions will want more than credentials. They "aren't underwriting teams, they’re underwriting structures."

The fine stems from Bitpanda failing to submit a mandatory white paper 20 days before publication and omitting required disclosures in marketing materials.
The firm told CoinDesk in an emailed statement the regulator’s findings “related exclusively to timing and formal specifications surrounding the publication of the whitepaper and an accompanying information document.”
For the token launch in question, we prepared a comprehensive whitepaper in accordance with MiCAR requirements, submitted it to the FMA, and continuously coordinated the entire process with the authority,” Bitpanda said. “The points cited related exclusively to timing and formal specifications surrounding the publication of the whitepaper and an accompanying information document.”
The white paper was submitted early last year, the firm told CoinDesk.
The move targets one of Europe’s largest crypto brokers. Bitpanda ended 2025 with 7.4 million registered users, up 25% from a year earlier, and 371 million euros in adjusted revenue. The Vienna-based company has been expanding outside Europe by providing trading, custody and tokenization infrastructure to banks and fintech companies.
Bitpanda secured a MiCA license from German regulator BaFin last year, allowing it to serve customers across the European Economic Area. Austria’s FMA separately authorized Bitpanda GmbH to provide custody, exchange, order execution and other crypto services in April 2025.

Developers are narrowing the list for the Hegotá upgrade, including a package to change how wallets approve and pay for transactions, giving developers of privacy apps more of the tools they need inside Ethereum itself.
Ethereum developers are deciding whether the blockchain’s next major upgrade, Hegotá, should make it easier to build private transactions without relying on middlemen.
As with other blockchains, all Ethereum addresses are permanent and hold a running balance, so anyone can read an address’s full history and see what it holds. That presents a problem for payroll, treasury operations or anyone who would rather not publish their finances.
The centerpiece is Frame Transactions, or Ethereum Improvement Proposal 8141 (EIP-8141), which would let an account define how a transaction is approved, executed and paid for, rather than forcing every user through the same setup.
For an ordinary user, that could mean a wallet where someone else covers the fee, several actions are bundled into one payment, or the cryptography approving a transaction changes without moving to a new account.
Frame Transactions is not guaranteed to ship. While it has been marked as considered for Hegotá, that falls short of approval, to progress.
Only one change has been approved so far, and it relates to censorship. Currently, the company or operator assembling a block decides which waiting transactions go into it, and can leave some out. The approved change, called FOCIL, lets a group of network operators compile a list of transactions that must be included, taking that decision away from any single builder.
Other proposals would speed up how quickly blocks are produced, alter what validators earn for securing the network, and prepare Ethereum for cryptography that can withstand quantum computers.
The deadline for new proposals passed on Aug. 6. What survives from here gets decided over the next few core developer meetings.

The customer-posted notice reportedly leaves exchange transfers unaffected, while rejected funds require support to return them to the originator address.
Bitstamp's new deposit rule will automatically reject crypto deposits exceeding €1,000 from third-party self-custody wallets starting Aug. 18.
The notice targets wallets owned by someone other than the Bitstamp account holder. It says deposits from other exchanges will not be affected, and it does not describe a blanket block on customers moving assets from their own self-custody wallets.
Bitstamp's official API explains how the exchange classifies a Bitstamp deposit by origin. The originator_thirdparty field is false when the sending address is in the customer's name, whether the wallet is hosted by a provider or controlled directly by the customer. A third-party hosted-wallet originator requires a VASP identifier.
The same API provides several ways to verify control of an external address, including an ownership-status check, Satoshi tests and xpub registration. Those mechanisms allow customer-controlled wallets to be distinguished from third-party wallets, but the documentation does not say how every verified address will be treated under the reported Aug. 18 rule. Bitstamp added the rejection endpoint in March, address-verification and xpub tools in May, and deposit-originator address data in June, showing that the operational controls predate the reported change.
Rejection also does not reverse the blockchain transfer. Bitstamp's API says a pending deposit can be rejected without automatically returning the assets, and the customer must contact support to have them sent back to the originator address. No public details specify the return time, possible fees, valuation method for the €1,000 threshold or whether related transfers are combined.
requires a receiving crypto-asset service provider to assess whether its customer owns or controls a self-hosted address when a transfer from that address exceeds €1,000. For transfers missing required information, the regulation allows a risk-based response that can include requesting information, executing, rejecting, returning or suspending the transfer.
That framework does not ban self-custody or require automatic rejection of every deposit over the threshold. Based on the notice customers posted, exchange-originated deposits remain unaffected; anyone whose Bitstamp deposit enters rejection status must use support to arrange its return, while the connection between Bitstamp's ownership checks and the Aug. 18 rule remains undisclosed.

OneMedNet reported a $3.41 million working-capital deficit as equity became its clearest disclosed funding path.
The OneMedNet treasury’s Bitcoin holdings reached zero at June 30, 2026, completing a steady drawdown of the healthcare-data company’s cryptocurrency holdings.
The company’s quarterly report for the period ended June 30, 2026 also listed $358,000 of cash, $4.73 million of current liabilities and a warning that existing liquidity was insufficient to fund operations for the following 12 months.
Its cash-flow record is separate from those point-in-time Bitcoin holdings. OneMedNet reported $969,000 of Bitcoin sale proceeds for all of 2024, then $5.07 million of sales and $2.75 million of purchases in 2025. It reported $419,000 of sale proceeds and no Bitcoin purchases in the first half of 2026.
By Dec. 31, 2025, reported holdings had already fallen to six BTC. Most of the Bitcoin treasury’s decline therefore predated the $419,000 of first-half 2026 proceeds, which covered only the final stage of the unwind rather than the approximately 34 BTC announced in 2024.
Management has said it routinely sells treasury Bitcoin to fund operations as needed. However, the filings do not trace particular sale proceeds to named operating expenses, leaving the destination of individual dollars unestablished.
The latest filing also does not go as far as to say that OneMedNet formally abandoned its Bitcoin strategy. It describes the 2026 sales as part of that strategy, even as its wording shifted from saying the company “has adopted” the policy in the first quarter to “previously adopted” in the second-quarter report. The policy’s current status is therefore unresolved after the balance reached zero.
With the OneMedNet treasury exhausted and cash thin, the company said continued operations require additional external financing. Equity provides a disclosed route to that capital, but further stock sales would shift more of the liquidity burden to shareholders through dilution.

Bitfinex gives users 14 days to withdraw 13 delisted tokens or face fees and uncertain recovery
Standard withdrawals end Aug. 31, after which customers must rely on a two-month recovery process that Bitfinex does not guarantee will succeed.
Bitfinex users holding 13 recently delisted cryptocurrencies must withdraw their assets by 10 a.m. UTC on Aug. 31 or become dependent on a restricted, fee-bearing recovery process
Following the deadline, the crypto exchange will disable standard withdrawals for the affected tokens. Any subsequent retrieval attempts will be handled entirely at Bitfinex’s discretion during a two-month window.
The exchange noted that this manual recovery is not guaranteed to succeed, incurs additional fees deducted from the recovered amount, and lacks a fixed completion timeline.
Customers should note that some assets might appear under alternative interface or API codes on the platform, such as ATO for Cosmos or EOS for Vaulta. Tether (USDT) on Cosmos and Unus Sed LEO on Vaulta remain unaffected by this action.
To execute a normal transfer before the cutoff, users face a $5-equivalent minimum and varying asset-specific network fees, which could make moving smaller balances uneconomical
A separate liquidation protocol applies to remaining Japanese yen (JPY) and JPY-PERP balances. Bitfinex will automatically convert any lingering JPY to USDT outside the public order book.
The exchange retains the right to execute this conversion at an undisclosed time and prevailing market rate, while automatically deducting a 5% fee from the user's funds.
Bitfinex previously halted deposits and trading for the impacted digital assets in July, following an initial market notice issued on June 23.

Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has ground to a near halt as the 60-day truce lapses with no deal, reviving the oil-price risk that has capped crypto all summer. ETF flows, meanwhile, are quietly turning.
The 60-day US-Iran ceasefire is set to expire Monday with no deal and the two sides at an impasse, and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has ground to a near halt.
Only five cargo ships passed through the waterway on Saturday and none registered on Sunday, per Kpler data, against 31 the prior weekend.
Traffic is down about 90% from before the war began in February, through a strait that normally carries a fifth of the world's oil.
The read for crypto runs through oil. A frozen strait and a lapsing ceasefire keep the risk of an oil-price spike alive, and higher crude feeds the inflation pressure that has kept the Fed leaning hawkish and capped bitcoin all summer.
Spot volumes have fallen to two-and-a-half-year lows, perpetual volumes to three-year lows, and volatility sits near multi-year troughs, Fakhro said.
Fresh demand arriving into the thinnest tape in years, when nobody is watching, is how durable bottoms tend to form. He reads bitcoin's six months stuck between $60,000 and $80,000, holding near a 50% drawdown rather than grinding lower the way the 2014, 2018 and 2022 bear markets did, as apathy rather than deterioration, with on-chain data starting to show bottoming characteristics as sentiment shifts from panic to caution.
The risk sits on both sides. Bitcoin is as stuck below $64,000 as it is above $62,000, a box rather than a launchpad, and leverage sharpens it. Perpetual open interest has held above 300,000 BTC through the summer, elevated against its average while volumes collapsed, which leaves the market exposed to a sharp liquidation move in either direction.

Soft economic data has Goldman Sachs doubting a September rate increase, offering good news for bitcoin bulls.
Under our baseline economic forecasts, the inflation news is more likely to improve further than to deteriorate anew as the year progresses," Hatzius wrote in a note Sunday. "We still think market pricing for the funds rate is too hawkish."
Interest rates dictate the availability of credit and fiat liquidity in the broader economy, directly influencing demand for risk-on assets such as bitcoin. Rate increases are traditionally bearish, a dynamic clearly visible during the aggressive Fed tightening that triggered the 2022 slide. Conversely, rate cuts are viewed as bullish, echoing the crypto rally that followed the March 2020 Covid crash.
At the time of writing, traders are pricing in just a 30.6% chance that the Fed will raise its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to the 3.75%–4% range, with the majority expecting the status quo to continue, according to CME FedWatch data. The odds dropped after last week's July report showed inflation slowing, as expected.

The market may be facing a dangerous liquidity mismatch as futures open interest outpaces trading volume by a significant margin.
Open interest fluctuates as new positions are opened and old ones are closed. If a long and a matching short both exit, open interest drops. But if a closing long is met by a fresh short entering the market, OI stays the same. It’s akin to the headcount at an exclusive club: if one person leaves just as another walks in, the total number of people inside doesn't change. The amount of OI is therefore associated with investor positioning.
Volume, meanwhile, is dead simple as it measures the number of contracts that changed hands during a given period. Think of it as measuring how many times the front door of that exclusive club opened and closed over a given period, regardless of who stayed. It thus represents the degree of churn or liquidity available to manage positions.
So, the latest case of volume falling far behind OI is like a large crowded club with a tiny exit door. What happens if a large number of people try to rush out?
Because overall investor positioning is massive, a sudden catalyst could trigger a wave of contract closures, such as forced liquidations due to margin shortages. Without the underlying daily volume to provide liquidity, the market may not be able to absorb the rush smoothly, leading to volatile, exaggerated price swings.
The risk is mechanical. When open interest towers over daily volume, liquidations meet little resting flow to absorb them, and adverse moves extend further than they otherwise would. Traders have added substantial risk, most of it long, into a market that shows no matching demand,” blockchain analytics firm Glassnode said in a report.
Put simply, if the price retests the June low of $58,000, there are far fewer buyers waiting to step in, increasing the risk of a much steeper decline. Add to that potential liquidations of leveraged futures bets, and the sell-off could deepen.
Complicating matters further is the severe volume discrepancy between the spot and futures markets. With 24-hour spot volume registering a mere $12.55 billion compared to $25 billion in futures, the potential for exaggerated price swings is magnified.
As of now, the market remains calm, with BTC trading near $63,500, up 1% since midnight UTC, according to CoinDesk data.

Direct holdings of IBIT also rose 12% to 407,890 shares, while put option exposure dropped roughly 53% to 143,300 underlying shares during the quarter.
Banking giant UBS, with over $7 trillion in assets under management, has reported a more than 24-fold quarterly increase in call option exposure tied to BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) in the second quarter.
That increase, which gives it the right to acquire IBIT shares at a later date at a set price, came as its outright IBIT holdings rose about 12%, according to a regulatory filing this week.
The Swiss banking group reported calls representing 1.95 million underlying IBIT shares as of June 30, up from 80,000 three months earlier. UBS separately held 407,890 IBIT shares worth about $13.6 million, compared with 364,371 shares at the end of the first quarter, according to its Q1 filing.
Put option exposure, giving UBS the right but not the obligation to sell IBIT at a set date and price, moved in the opposite direction. UBS reported puts representing 143,300 underlying shares, down about 53% from 303,300 at the end of March.
The disclosure also does not include strike prices or expirations, making it difficult to determine UBS’s net directional exposure from the filing alone.
The increase comes as UBS expands its work around client access to digital assets. Earlier this year, the bank started preparing to offer select private banking clients in Switzerland access to bitcoin and ether trading.
The filing does not say whether those client initiatives drove the increase in IBIT options. The positions could also reflect dealer hedging, market-making activity, discretionary client portfolios or proprietary exposure.

The paper trail instead reveals Binance pricing failures, on-chain ADL and a disclosure gap regulators have yet to close
Solana Research Institute, a Solana-aligned research group, used an Aug. 14 post to revive a July open letter by Angus Scott to the UK Financial Conduct Authority and other regulators. SRI reported roughly $18 billion in liquidations over 14 hours during the Oct. 10, 2025 crypto crash, including $3.21 billion in a single minute, and argued that opaque centralized venues failed while transparent on-chain finance kept functioning.
The crash records point to a more specific conclusion. Public data made it possible to reconstruct a large auto-deleveraging event on Hyperliquid, as well as deficits and oracle delays at Aave. ESMA later said Binance's internal collateral pricing amplified forced selling. Transparency exposed the mechanics of stress across market structures; it did not turn one venue category into a proxy for safety.
Auto-deleveraging, or ADL, is a last-resort derivatives mechanism that reduces profitable traders' positions when liquidations and risk buffers cannot keep a venue solvent. It differs from ordinary liquidation, which closes a losing position after its collateral falls below a required threshold. Regulators need comparable records to separate either mechanism from an outage, an oracle delay or a venue-local pricing failure.
Those numbers describe different scopes. A day-wide market estimate, a six-exchange 14-hour sample, a one-minute peak and a venue-specific loss mechanism answer different questions. Collapsing them into one total obscures the market plumbing that the policy debate is supposed to expose.
A Chaos Labs report on Aave said some markets experienced five-block price-update delays. Chaos Labs estimated that liquidation fees and SVR revenue left the protocol about $1.5 million net positive after the reported deficits.
Public records made parts of Hyperliquid's loss allocation and Aave's lending stress measurable. The same records documented ADL, oracle latency and bad debt. Observability gave outsiders a better audit trail, while the mechanisms themselves still imposed losses and operational risks.
Faster trade data still leaves the loss chain fragmented. Solana Research Institute says its 33-page letter followed discussions between the FCA and Solana Foundation, although the available material contains no independent FCA confirmation. The letter covers seven domains, including identity, resilience, custody, market abuse, systemic risk and prudential capital. The Oct. 10 crash is one case study inside that broader argument.
The FCA has already addressed part of the transparency problem. Its June 2026 final cryptoasset framework requires UK qualifying cryptoasset trading platforms and principal dealers to publish post-trade information as close to real time as possible and no later than one minute. Larger UK platform operators also face pre-trade transparency requirements.
The cited final framework does not expressly require standardized cross-venue reporting of liquidation volumes, ADL use or backstop losses. Faster trade data improves the view of execution, but the Oct. 10 records show how operational delays, pricing failures and loss-allocation mechanisms can remain hard to compare after a common shock.
Solana Research Institute's policy case is strongest when it focuses on that observability gap. The crash showed public records can make venue failures measurable, including failures on transparent platforms. Comparable event disclosures could help regulators distinguish routine solvency controls from venue-specific operational or pricing breakdowns without treating transparency itself as proof of safety.

The OCC’s conditional approval would bring World Liberty’s $4 billion USD1 stablecoin under federal supervision.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) gave World Liberty Financial, a DeFi venture associated with President Donald Trump, preliminary conditional approval to charter a national trust bank built around its roughly $4 billion USD1 stablecoin.
World Liberty Trust Company would eventually handle USD1 issuance and reserve custody directly, moving both under federal supervision if the bank clears the conditions still standing between it and final approval.
The company borrowed about $75 million in stablecoins against that collateral, and the borrowing drained the USD1 lending pool to full utilization, leaving some depositors unable to withdraw normally.
A falling WLFI price shrinks the collateral cushion and raises the loan-to-value ratio. If the position approaches liquidation, forced WLFI selling can push the token's price down further, shrinking the cushion again.
Adding fresh WLFI collateral can push the liquidation line farther away without changing that underlying dependence on the token's own market depth
The bear case is already partly visible on-chain today. The World Liberty multisig's Dolomite position sits at a 1.07 health rate, close enough to liquidation that a modest further slide in WLFI could put it at risk.
Under that version, the $25 million repayment addressed only part of the exposure, and the same liquidation dynamics from April are live again, this time on a specific, identifiable wallet.
A federal charter can move how USD1 gets issued and supervised into Washington, while the leveraged WLFI structure sitting elsewhere in World Liberty's business looks insulated in one wallet and one modest decline away from trouble in another.

Sono holds nearly 70 BTC but says a partial Bitcoin sale could become necessary if additional financing falls short.
Sono Group’s transition to a Bitcoin-heavy treasury is laying bare the severe financial strain at the core of the restructured company.
With its former solar energy subsidiary now spun out as a discontinued operation, the parent company generated zero revenue during the first half of 2026. Instead, Sono has tethered its survival entirely to digital assets.
However, an Aug. 14 Form 10-Q filing reveals a stark liquidity mismatch: as of June 30, the company held just $166,000 in cash against $4.11 million in Bitcoin.
During the first six months of the year, the company spent $5 million to acquire 68.49 BTC. After accounting for option-related receipts and deliveries, its treasury stood at 69.78 BTC by the end of June. The firm stated that the fair value of these holdings stands at $4.118 million.
To generate additional liquidity from the reserve, management has been writing weekly covered calls against its Bitcoin holdings. This strategy produced $93,000 of net option income during the first half, but the filing warns that those proceeds may not be sufficient to meet the company’s obligations.
The company has also relied heavily on external financing. First-half net cash provided by financing activities totaled $7.050 million, comprising $5.050 million of gross proceeds from four secured convertible debentures and another $2 million from a pre-funded warrant.
By June 30, Sono reported $5.049 million of convertible notes payable, net, against $5.050 million of gross principal outstanding. The net balance reflects accounting for the discounted debt host together with an embedded conversion derivative liability.
Sono lists a partial Bitcoin sale among the measures available to shore up liquidity. The filing does not say such a sale has occurred or establish when one might happen.
But with no continuing-operations revenue and only $166,000 in cash as of June 30, the Bitcoin reserve has become more than a treasury investment: it is also one of the assets Sono may need to draw on to meet its obligations.

XRPL activity is back above its May peak, whale deposits to Binance have collapsed and leverage is rebuilding, but spot demand keeps fading.
The token fell to about $0.98 this week before recovering toward $1, according to CryptoSlate data, extending a retreat that has erased much of its May rally. Crowd commentary around XRP simultaneously reached its most bearish level in three months across X, Reddit, Telegram, and other crypto channels tracked by Santiment.
Beneath that price weakness, several parts of the market have strengthened. More addresses are using the XRP Ledger (XRPL), large holders are moving less XRP onto Binance, and traders are adding leveraged exposure.
Yet, fresh investment demand has moved in the opposite direction, while growth in parts of XRPL's user base has outpaced the capital and transaction value accompanying it.
XRPL has therefore entered August with more active addresses, stablecoin holders and RWA holders, while growth in the capital and economic turnover accompanying that participation has been considerably less consistent.
As a result, the network development efforts have increasingly centered on deeper liquidity, decentralized trading, consumer applications, stablecoins and tokenized assets that could give users more reasons to remain active on-chain.
This shows that the pace of new institutional capital entering the market has declined significantly for three consecutive months, alongside XRP's price retreat.
For context, June inflows were roughly 55% below May's total, while July fell another 54%. August's $3.27 million intake is already about 88% below July's full-month figure, though half of the month remains.
So, a stronger return of spot capital would meet a market with stronger network participation and lighter exchange-side pressure, which could generate the demand needed to sustain a recovery.

The bankers want people kept in lower-yield deposits for the good of the financial system as it's existed for generations, and their argument is gaining ground.
While the bill's section that goes after President Donald Trump's personal business ties to crypto has drawn the most fervent attention, the Clarity Act's revisions on stablecoin yield were what threw the bill off course early this year, and the banks haven't stopped arguing that crypto firms may try to offer stablecoin rewards that imitate interest on bank deposits and by extension threaten the role of banks and imperil U.S. lending.
The battle is likely to be finished one way or another next month, when the Clarity Act gets its final three weeks of Senate action before the midterm elections, and the stakes will test the old-guard strength of bank lobbyists against the high-spending political powers of crypto advocates.
One of their standard bearers, JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon, says banks aren't being treated fairly, contending that stablecoins don't carry the same government scrutiny, regulations and requirements to track the identity of users.
However, the major thrust of bank lobbying on the Clarity Act has been to suggest Main Street community bankers won't be able to extend mortgages and business loans if their depositors flee.
When crypto gets a free pass, communities pay the price," according to a recent ad backed by the Independent Community Bankers of America, pitting community banks against the crypto industry.
My state right now — agriculture folks, local community people — are very, very worried about the effect on community banks," Senator Josh Hawley, a Missouri Republican, told Politico earlier this month. "They are blowing me up over it.
One recently established crypto advocacy group, the Digital Sovereignty Alliance, argues that the industry may want to give ground to the banks if it means better odds for Clarity.
There are some battles worth fighting for innovation, and there are some battles that are better ceded to build a durable regulatory framework," Managing Director Adrian Wall said in a statement to CoinDesk. "If resolving the yield question is what it takes to bring the banking sector into a broader consensus on market structure, that is a trade worth making."

Volatility Shares’ proposal needs a special SEC exemption because Cboe’s generic commodity-trust rules explicitly prohibit benchmark multiples.
Cboe BZX is asking the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an exception to its own generic listing rules so it can list funds targeting three times the daily performance of Bitcoin and Ethereum futures
The Aug. 10 proposal covers six Volatility Shares funds tied to Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold, silver, crude oil and natural gas. The crypto products would use futures traded primarily on CME rather than hold BTC or ETH directly.
The filing remains pending. An SEC notice dated Aug. 14 said the funds' registration statement was not yet effective and the shares had not been authorized for trading.
The filing remains pending. An SEC notice dated Aug. 14 said the funds' registration statement was not yet effective and the shares had not been authorized for trading.
The proposed funds would reset leverage every trading day, making longer-term returns dependent on the sequence of daily moves, futures performance, costs, and rebalancing rather than simply three times Bitcoin or ETH's return.
The same daily reset that creates that path dependence also determines how much the fund must trade to restore its target exposure after each market move.
In a simplified model, a 3x fund beginning with assets of A starts with exposure of 3A. After a one-day benchmark return of r, restoring exposure to three times the fund's new NAV requires an approximate gross adjustment of 6Ar.
For a hypothetical $100 million fund, a 5% benchmark move implies roughly $30 million of additional buying or selling in the direction of that move.
The calculation does not estimate market impact. The filing provides no launch asset level or flow forecast, and execution would depend on fund size, liquidity, investor creations and redemptions, positioning, and the instruments used.
It does, however, show how moving from 2x to 3x raises both sides of the structure: investors take greater path-dependent exposure, while the fund must make larger daily adjustments to maintain that exposure.

Investors are starting to judge crypto tokens on usage, economics and value capture rather than market-cap rank, industry executives said.
Crypto investors are increasingly using revenue, usage and value capture to sort tokens over longer horizons, even as perpetual futures continue to drive prices day to day, industry players at Bitwise, Wintermute and the Arbitrum Foundation told CoinDesk.
During an interview with CoinDesk, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley described the shift as the end of crypto’s “CoinMarketCap leaderboard” era. In earlier cycles, investors often valued new layer-1 networks as a fraction of the largest blockchain above them, he said. Smaller projects were then priced at a discount.
That approach is losing ground as investors focus on addressable markets, adoption and how much economic value a project can capture, Horsley said.
He cited Hyperliquid as an example. Investors can examine the derivatives platform’s trading activity and economics when assessing its HYPE token rather than treating it as a smaller version of another blockchain. The token is up around 20% in the past year.
When we speak with wealth managers at a firm that has recently approved access to the space, they have no idea where something ranks on CoinMarketCap,” Horsley said. “It’s irrelevant.”
Address counts and total value locked can be inflated by incentives or bots, Ma said. Rising transactions are more meaningful when accompanied by higher fee revenue and user retention.
Ma pointed to Arbitrum, the network he works on, as one example of the project-level analysis now taking place. The network has processed more than 2.7 billion lifetime transactions, including more than 500 million in 2026, while Robinhood Chain is running at roughly $40 million in annual revenue, according to the foundation.
Grayscale head of research Zach Pandl told CoinDesk bitcoin remains a macro asset tied to demand for alternatives to fiat currencies, while other cryptocurrencies will face greater scrutiny of their underlying economics.
Bitwise’s Horsley said index products can give investors broad crypto exposure without requiring them to pick individual winners. Bitwise, Horsley’s firm, offers such products, as do some other asset managers including 21Shares.
Grayscale head of research Zach Pandl told CoinDesk bitcoin remains a macro asset tied to demand for alternatives to fiat currencies, while other cryptocurrencies will face greater scrutiny of their underlying economics.
To Pandl, the outlook for the crypto sector itself is “very bright as stablecoins, tokenized assets, and decentralized finance tools will drive demand for digital assets beyond Bitcoin in the years ahead.”
“A small number of tokens with strong fundamentals will play a central role in digital assets’ next chapter,” Pandl said. “Weaker projects with poor fundamentals will be left behind

While the data breach exposed the personal order details of thousands of customers, all private keys, seed phrases, and crypto assets remain completely safe.
Crypto hardware wallet provider SafePal has disclosed a security incident that exposed the personal information of thousands of customers.
The exposed data included names, physical addresses, and contact details, putting affected users at risk of phishing and impersonation attempts. However, the breach did not compromise any cryptocurrency funds, passwords, or private wallet keys.
SafePal is a cryptocurrency security company that provides physical hardware wallets and software applications designed to help investors safely store and manage their digital assets.
The latest exploit follows a recent hack of Coldcard hardware wallets, in which the attacker reportedly stole at least $120 million in bitcoin. While the incidents do not necessarily point to a systemic weakness in hardware wallets, they show that no crypto-storage solution is entirely risk-free. They also validate calls to assess concentration risk and, where appropriate, to diversify both crypto holdings and the wallets used to store them.
SafePal said on Sunday that it identified an “authorization flaw” in a plug-in used to track customer orders. This flaw likely allowed attackers to see other customers’ orders. Think of it as a store’s parcel-tracking system allowing one customer to view another customer’s receipt and delivery details simply by changing the order number.
SafePal stressed that the core security of its wallets remains intact, adding that users’ seed phrases, private keys, bank passwords, bank account information, payment card numbers, and government-issued IDs were not affected.
However, SafePal said users who have shared their private keys or seed phrases via a phishing email, phone call, or letter should treat their wallet as compromised and transfer their assets to a new wallet.
The company said it had patched the vulnerability and introduced additional security measures in response. SafePal notified all affected customers by email from security@safepal.com on Sunday and hired an independent third-party security firm to audit the fix and review its order-processing systems.
SafePal also said it would retain customers’ personal data in its order-processing system for only 90 days from the date of collection. In addition, the company identified and removed more than 30 fraudulent websites and phishing links associated with the breach.
Customers can use a verification tool on SafePal’s website to check whether their data was affected, the company said.
