The $33.33 million mining acquisition was funded with equity warrants that could ultimately cover 43.3 million shares.
ypherpunk Technologies acquired roughly 18% of Zcash’s mining power in a $33.33 million equity deal that could dilute shareholders.
On Aug. 18, the public company revealed that it bought 4,902 mining machines from Moria Mining, an affiliate of Winklevoss Treasury Investments (WTI). The fleet generates about 4.2 GSol/s across three US sites, making Cypherpunk the operator of the world’s largest active Zcash mining fleet.
Cypherpunk held 323,394.38 ZEC as of Aug. 11, roughly 2% of the digital asset's circulating supply, and has set a target of owning 5%. The company said mining could help it reach that goal by producing ZEC at costs below prevailing spot prices.
About 1,440 ZEC are distributed to miners each day. Cypherpunk said the output from its new fleet could fund additional ZEC purchases, future growth and investments in privacy-focused technologies.
The company also appointed Kevin Zhang as head of mining. Zhang, who previously helped build major North American mining operations for Foundry, said current Zcash mining economics generate stronger returns than Bitcoin mining and artificial-intelligence colocation.
WTI received a pre-funded warrant covering 43.29 million shares with an exercise price of $0.001. Cypherpunk valued its stock at $0.77 per share for the transaction.
Against the roughly 107.8 million shares outstanding before the deal, full issuance would expand the share count to about 151.1 million. This means the warrant shares would represent roughly 28.7% of that enlarged total.
The agreement initially permits the issuance of 5.37 million shares. Cypherpunk has agreed to seek shareholder approval at its next annual meeting for the remaining shares and to continue seeking approval at later meetings if the proposal fails.
Notably, WTI's influence already extends into Cypherpunk's boardroom. The investor has exercised rights to designate William McEvoy and Khing Oei as directors, while Cypherpunk's governance committee approved the mining purchase as a related-party transaction.

A new preprint says off-book routing damped liquidation feedback inside Hyperliquid, while wider market effects remain untested.
yperliquid, an on-chain perpetual futures venue, sent most of the forced selling in the worst minute of the October 2025 crypto crash to the Hyperliquid backstop rather than its public order book, according to a new research preprint.
About $641 million was force-sold on Hyperliquid at 21:19 UTC on Oct. 10, the paper found. Roughly $576 million went to the Hyperliquid backstop, while about $64 million reached the order book.
The split is relevant because a thinning public order book can push prices lower and force more leveraged positions to close. The Hyperliquid backstop can interrupt that feedback by absorbing orders inside the venue. The preprint has not completed peer review, and its direct measurement covers Hyperliquid rather than the wider market.
Hyperliquid’s liquidation rules first try to close a position through market orders. Under specified conditions, a liquidator vault can take over the position instead. That vault is a component strategy within the
The study found that the backstop absorbed 62.6% of forced-sale value off-book after onset. The event was also highly compressed: 87.8% of forced selling after onset occurred within 30 minutes and 96.5% within one hour.
The paper tracked $733 million of book-directed forced-sale value across its 15.7-hour post-onset window, including $644 million during the initial nucleation phase. It reported the 62.6% backstop share as a separate off-book series, so the figures describe different parts of its measurement rather than a single combined liquidation total.
The study places the Hyperliquid backstop in the context of seven major Bitcoin perpetual futures cascades from 2022 through 2025. Its Part I companion, previously covered by CryptoSlate, found no event-invariant early-warning variable across those episodes. Part II shifts from warning signals to the mechanism operating during a cascade.
Hyperliquid’s fill-log archive begins on May 25, 2025, making the October 2025 event the paper’s only in-flight case study. The authors frame higher realized branching on venues without a comparable backstop as a hypothesis for future cross-venue testing.

Anza’s 50,000 SOL pool unlocks by severity, while changing eligibility and duplicate rules leave researchers bearing the filing risk.
Solana’s Alpenglow bug hunt charges researchers 0.5 SOL to report flaws
nza is charging security researchers a non-refundable 0.5 SOL to file each Alpenglow finding before the competition closes at 16:00 UTC on Aug. 19.
The rules require every finding to pass through a designated portal, which burns the fee and creates one confidential GitHub Security Advisory. Reports sent through another channel are ineligible.
The target is consequential. SIMD-0326 proposes Alpenglow as a backwards-incompatible replacement for Solana’s current Proof-of-History and TowerBFT consensus protocol. Anza has put the new consensus components, their validator integrations and the migration path inside the bounty’s temporary scope.
Researchers pay the filing cost before Anza determines validity, severity, duplication or reward. They also work against a moving version of Agave master. Each report must identify the commit where the flaw appeared, reproduce the issue there and arrive while the bug remains unfixed on master.
A proof-of-concept requirement and the filing burn can reduce placeholder submissions. They can also price out a valid finding whose impact or priority is uncertain. The published rules contain no measure of participation or report quality that would settle the tradeoff.
Several boundaries remain. Public or previously disclosed issues do not qualify. Known issues, test code, third-party cryptography dependencies and ordinary TowerBFT-only paths are also excluded. Researchers must demonstrate findings on a local fork, multi-node harness or simulation; mainnet and public-testnet attacks are unauthorized.
Priority depends on evidence, not a timestamp alone. The earliest report that meets the proof-of-concept bar at Anza’s assessed severity receives the award for that root cause. A placeholder reserves nothing. Later duplicates receive nothing unless one substantiates a strictly higher assessed severity.
Eligibility ends when a fix reaches Agave master. A report can therefore lose its chance of payment during the competition even when the researcher reproduced the flaw against an earlier in-window commit.
Anza included both core consensus crates and validator code that processes certificates, rewards and finalization state. The TowerBFT handoff is eligible too, putting the joins between old and new logic under review alongside Votor itself.
The official rules and overview still listed Aug. 19 as the cutoff when checked on Aug. 18, with no extension notice on either page. The submission window’s close does not activate Alpenglow or complete the migration.
Confidentiality also separates the deadline from any public result. A finding stays private until its fix ships. Code awaiting mainnet activation can remain under embargo until the fix is merged and the relevant feature gate activates.
An empty public record after Aug. 19 would reveal nothing about the number of advisories. Before adjudication, the disclosed economics tell the story: 0.5 SOL leaves a researcher’s wallet first, evidence determines priority, and only a substantiated loss-of-funds flaw opens the full pool.

An Aug. 19 meeting will examine proposals designed to conceal pending trades until their place in a block is fixed.
Ethereum developers are weighing a new defense against predatory trading bots that exploit pending transactions before they reach the blockchain.
The problem stems from Ethereum’s public mempool, a transparent waiting room where transactions can be inspected before execution. That visibility lets automated traders spot profitable orders and place their own transactions around them, extracting value from users before a trade settles.
The practice has become most closely associated with sandwich attacks. A bot spots a pending swap, buys the same asset first to move the price against the user, then sells immediately after the victim’s trade executes at the worse price.
While estimates suggest losses from such attacks have declined from earlier peaks, the problem has not disappeared. In April, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin was himself targeted when the notorious Jaredfromsubway.eth bot front-ran and back-ran a small swap from one of his addresses.
Protocol researchers are scheduled to discuss the issue during an Aug. 19 “Encrypt the Mempool” call, where they will examine proposals designed to conceal transaction contents until their position in a block has already been committed.
The effort targets a long-running tradeoff for Ethereum users. Traders can already bypass the public mempool by routing transactions through private relays, reducing their exposure to front-running. But that protection comes with dependence on intermediaries that control transaction inclusion and availability.
An encrypted public mempool would attempt to preserve permissionless access to blockspace while preventing builders and bots from seeing the underlying trade before its ordering is fixed.
Wednesday's agenda will ask developers whether a temporary, non-post-quantum cryptographic solution is acceptable.
It also targets the deeper enforcement problem: how withholding or early key selling by members of a validator whitelist could be proved and whether those proofs could be automated.
A whitelist can establish who is authorized to publish keys. It cannot by itself distinguish deliberate misconduct from software failure, network latency, or a missed deadline.
An alternative proposal, EIP-8105, uses a directed trust graph where registered providers identify other providers they trust. Providers can establish their own withholding conditions, leaving incentives, reliability systems, and potential punishment mechanisms outside Ethereum's consensus rules.
Other approaches introduce their own costs. Threshold decryption distributes control among multiple participants but adds timing pressure. Trusted hardware can shorten the path to a key while introducing new hardware and operator dependencies.
Any production deployment would also need to coordinate with Ethereum's broader roadmap. LUCID is designed to extend the inclusion-list pipeline associated with FOCIL, or EIP-7805, which gives multiple validators a role in identifying transactions a builder must include.
Ethereum's security roadmap currently targets FOCIL as a consensus-layer priority for the Hegotá upgrade in 2027, while broader post-quantum infrastructure milestones sit further out.

Coinbase warned later Noble deposits may not be recoverable, while its notice left the cutoff’s clock time unspecified.
oinbase’s announced Aug. 17 cutoff for USDC deposits and withdrawals on Noble had passed, but Circle’s public Noble guide was still telling users to use Coinbase and select Noble as the network as of press time Aug. 18.
Coinbase’s July 15 notice did not specify a clock time or timezone for the cutoff. It warned users not to send USDC to Coinbase’s Noble deposit addresses after Aug. 17 because those funds may not be recoverable. The warning identifies a transfer risk, not evidence that users have already lost funds.
Coinbase named Ethereum, Base, Solana, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon as other supported USDC networks. Its general receiving guidance tells customers to confirm that the exchange supports the selected network, warning that assets sent on an unsupported network can be lost and cannot be retrieved.
Circle’s current Noble product page describes access through Circle Mint for eligible businesses and lists compatible wallets including Cosmostation, Keplr and Leap. Those options are not direct equivalents to Coinbase’s custodial rail.
Cross-chain access also carries a migration constraint. Noble remains on legacy CCTP V1 while Circle phases that version out over 10 months beginning in July 2026. Circle said it is working with Noble and Cosmos teams on an intermediate routing solution and that pending redemptions will remain accessible during the phase-out. The migration notice did not specify the planned route’s design or launch date.
A third-party usdc.cool snapshot captured at about 1:47 a.m. UTC on Aug. 18 showed $114.24 million of USDC issued on Noble, $93.05 million bridged out and about $21.19 million circulating on the network. That is a Noble-specific measurement. CryptoSlate’s USDC page showed roughly $71.9 billion in market-wide USDC circulating supply across blockchains at the time.
Circle’s guide separately says that more than $450 million of USDC was in circulation on Noble as of March 2025. That older figure and the usdc.cool snapshot come from different dates and potentially different circulation scopes, so they do not establish a decline. Circle’s dated figure also does not represent current Noble exposure or current Coinbase network support.

Distributed samplers replace fresh public randomness while a common random string, DDH, LWE, and proof-of-work assumptions remain.
paper accepted for Crypto 2026 in Santa Barbara says it resolves a theoretical gap in permissionless consensus by replacing a public beacon that supplied participants with fresh random values at regular intervals.
The problem is how parties can reach Byzantine agreement without knowing in advance who is participating, except for an upper bound on the number of participants, and without relying on a public-key infrastructure. Bitcoin helped motivate this line of research, but the public records do not present the new work as a Bitcoin upgrade or a change for any live network.
The University of Edinburgh research record lists Damiano Abram, Marshall Ball, Juan Garay, and Aggelos Kiayias as authors of “Permissionless consensus from a common random string.” Crypto 2026 runs from Aug. 17 through Aug. 20.
A 2024 construction by Ball and collaborators combined proofs of work with fine-grained complexity assumptions. Its model also gave every participant access to a beacon that delivered a fresh public random value at regular intervals.
The new paper says it removes that recurring service with d-wise independent distributed samplers. In plain terms, the samplers are designed to keep multiple executions secure at the same time, without requiring the beacon to keep producing new public randomness.
For this permissionless consensus construction, the replacement still needs shared setup. Participants use a common random string, although the abstract says it does not need to be structured or sampled precisely when the protocol begins. The sampler constructions also rely on the decisional Diffie-Hellman and learning with errors assumptions.
The result remains theoretical for permissionless consensus. The public material does not state the 2026 protocol’s numerical corruption threshold, exact synchrony and communication conditions, concrete costs, or benchmark performance. Details from the 2024 construction cannot be assumed to carry forward, so the available evidence does not support comparisons with Bitcoin’s security model or claims that the protocol is ready for deployment.
The accepted manuscript remains embargoed until Aug. 20 at 00:00 BST, according to the Edinburgh record. What is public supports a specific advance: a recurring randomness beacon is replaced by distributed samplers and a common random string, while DDH, LWE, and fine-grained proof-of-work assumptions remain part of the construction.

Strategy has gone nearly two months without adding Bitcoin as the STRC preferred-stock support absorbs capital.
trategy (formerly MicroStrategy) directed all $333.7 million raised from common-stock sales last week toward preferred-stock obligations and cash reserves, extending a two-month shift that has prioritized STRC support over additional Bitcoin purchases
According to an Aug. 17 SEC filing, the company sold 3.45 million MSTR shares from Aug. 10 through Aug. 16, using $52.4 million of the proceeds for dividends on STRC, its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch preferred stock.
The firm further revealed that it used $132.2 million to repurchase STRC shares, and $149.1 million to increase its US dollar reserve to $4.8 billion.
Strategy bought or sold no Bitcoin during the period, leaving its holdings unchanged at 840,447 BTC. The firm acquired these holdings for $63.36 billion at an average price of $75,385 per coin.
This move extends a broader reversal in the financing cycle that helped make Strategy the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder.
The company has not increased its BTC holdings since June 21 and has sold nearly 7,000 Bitcoin over the past two months, while accumulating billions of dollars in cash and repurchasing about $347 million of STRC.
The company also has $1 billion remaining under its MSTR repurchase authorization, giving management another option if the common stock comes under heavier pressure.
Saylor said Strategy would consider buying back MSTR if it traded at a sufficiently deep discount to net asset value. At current levels, however, management has not viewed that as the best use of capital.
Cash already being used for STRC dividends, preferred-stock repurchases and reserve growth could also be needed for MSTR buybacks, debt obligations or renewed Bitcoin purchases.
If STRC remains below management’s target while index-related selling adds pressure to MSTR, Strategy could face simultaneous demands from both sides of its capital structure.

Bitcoin compounded at 56.3% annually from 2016 to 2026, leaving the same starting investment in SPY with roughly $828,000 less wealth.
Bitcoin returned 87 times over a decade, while only 13% of actively managed US large-cap equity funds beat comparable passive funds' benchmarks through June 30, according to Morningstar data reported by The Wall Street Journal.
That rate rose to 27% over the latest 12 months, and Wall Street has argued that AI-driven dispersion and higher interest rates should give stock pickers more room to outperform.
Bitcoin closed at $673.34 on June 30, 2016, and closed at $58,558.86 on June 30, 2026. This means a $10,000 position in the top crypto will grow to about $869,677.
Investors spent years deciding whether professional stock selection could earn enough excess return to justify its fees. A separate allocation to Bitcoin generated a far larger dollar outcome for holders who endured its volatility.
Bitcoin adds an asset-allocation dimension to that debate, with the decade’s largest difference in this comparison coming from exposure to another asset class. Manager selection inside US equities operated within a much narrower range of outcomes.
The bear case keeps benchmark concentration near current extremes. Passive funds would continue increasing their exposure to winners as market values climb. Active managers with tighter diversification limits could keep falling behind whenever a few mega-cap names account for an outsized share of index returns.
Another deep drawdown for Bitcoin could erase years of gains for buyers who enter near a cycle peak. The 2017 and 2021 collapses show how much endurance the historical return required.
Investors who held Bitcoin through two drawdowns near 80% finished the decade with roughly $828,000 more than the equivalent SPY position. That outcome puts the scale of portfolio allocation beside the narrower fight over who can pick stocks well enough to beat an index.

A viral clip sharpened the clash between fee-funded security and the credibility of a fixed supply.
Early Bitcoin developer and self-proclaimed “Bitcoin thought leader,” Peter Todd, has revived debate over Bitcoin's 21 million-coin limit and whether Bitcoin tail emission could help fund proof-of-work security as block subsidies shrink. The dispute turns on whether transaction fees alone can eventually fund adequate security.
The clip posted Aug. 16 framed Todd as saying Bitcoin should eliminate the cap. Todd did not call for an immediate cap change; he framed tail emission as a long-term design question. In a July 23 talk at Bitcoin++ Toronto, Todd argued that Bitcoin is moving from subsidy-supported security toward a fee-dominant model. He said there is no proven example showing that the destination will work at Bitcoin's scale. He did not unveil a BIP, Bitcoin Core pull request, activation plan, or adoption decision.
Bitcoin miners earn a block reward made up of newly issued bitcoin and transaction fees. The protocol cuts the subsidy in half every 210,000 blocks, roughly every four years, until new issuance eventually stops. Fees must then account for more of miner compensation, even though demand for block space may not produce revenue that is both sufficient and consistent.
In the recorded talk, Todd described that transition as an uncertain phase change. He discussed Bitcoin tail emission, a small perpetual subsidy. It would continue creating Bitcoin after the current schedule ends and eventually push the total supply beyond 21 million. Todd said 1% annual issuance might be excessive, while arguing that a lower rate could be economically small compared with Bitcoin's normal price swings and still give miners a continuing reason to extend the chain
Today's fee revenue does not show how the market will behave as block subsidies continue to shrink. It offers a snapshot of the current gap between fees and subsidy. CryptoSlate reported that on April 8, 2026, miners collected 2.443 BTC in daily transaction fees against roughly 450 BTC in daily subsidy. Fees were about 0.54% of the combined amount in that dated snapshot.
Todd has discussed Bitcoin tail emission and the security risk for years. In a 2022 public AMA, he described eventual transaction-fee dominance as a major state change that no other proof-of-work currency had undergone. He also supplied the strongest practical objection to his position: raising the cap to add tail emission would require a highly disruptive hard fork that could do more harm than the problem it was meant to solve.
Bitcoin Core's mainnet parameters still retain the 210,000-block halving interval. A developer can publish alternative code, but cannot make existing nodes accept new issuance rules. Operators and other network participants would have to choose software that enforces the change
Todd contrasts modest perpetual issuance with a fee-only security budget. The former would push supply beyond 21 million; the latter has no proven example at Bitcoin's scale. No change to Bitcoin's supply rule can advance without a concrete proposal and broad network support.

Galaxy's Aug. 7 snapshot of Aave V3 Core found 19,073 loans on the protocol after applying standard filters. Fewer than 9% of those positions are using Aave's E-mode setting, account for roughly half of all outstanding debt on the platform, and show an Ethereum correlation trade.
Galaxy puts their debt-weighted loan-to-value near 90%, their average health factor around 1.06, and their debt-to-equity ratio near 10.7 times. The remaining 91% of positions carry a debt-weighted LTV closer to 49%, a health factor around 1.79, and debt-to-equity near 1.07 times, a profile with far more room to absorb a bad day.
Has crypto leverage spread itself thinner, or has it concentrated into a smaller number of positions still large enough to carry real systemic weight?
A widening discount between an Ethereum wrapper and ETH itself weakens collateral relative to WETH debt, pulling health factors down. Borrowers watching that decline have two ways to respond: adding fresh collateral or repaying part of the WETH they owe.
Anyone who does neither and drops below a health factor of 1 becomes eligible for liquidation, a permissionless process where liquidators repay debt and take the underlying collateral plus a bonus for doing so.
The bull case assumes the ETH wrapper basis holds inside a narrow band, probably under 2%, while E-mode debt keeps shrinking at its current gradual pace and health factors stay comfortably above 1.
The bear case assumes that basis widens into the high single digits across weETH, rsETH, and wstETH at once. That pushes the average E-mode health factor down toward 1 and forces the weakest accounts into liquidation first.
Crypto leverage is shrinking in aggregate, but Aave's own numbers show that shrinkage has not been even. What remains is concentrated in a small number of highly leveraged ETH-basis positions.
The risk is whether the collateral backing these loans keeps trading like ETH, a narrower and more specific question than the direction in which ETH itself moves.

Bitcoin faces the highest 30-year Treasury yield since 2007 after crypto-collateralized lending fell by $22.5 billion from its 2025 peak.
The US 30-year Treasury yield crossed 5.3% on Aug. 17 for the first time since June 2007, the same day Galaxy published a report showing crypto-collateralized lending down more than $22 billion from its peak. Bitcoin hit an intraday high of $64,610.01 that day.
What makes the Treasury move unusual is its direction against the broader macro picture. Soft economic data this week pushed traders to cut the odds of a September Fed move to about 31%, down from 55% a week earlier, the kind of reaction that usually pulls long yields lower.
The 30-year kept climbing anyway, reaching 5.2954% and as high as 5.314% intraday, putting it on track for its first close above 5.3% in nineteen years.
That combination supports the idea that the $22.5 billion credit unwind already completed lets Bitcoin absorb a long-rate shock this severe without repeating 2022.
The bear case has the 30-year pushing toward 5.4% to 5.7% while real yields hold near their multi-decade highs, dragging Bitcoin below $60,000 and toward the $52,000 to $58,000 range.
Futures open interest contracts sharply and liquidations climb, while Galaxy's lending figures keep falling at their current gradual pace without accelerating. That combination would mark the selloff as macro-led and derivatives-amplified, distinct from the lender failures that turned 2022's decline into a cascade.
Bitcoin is walking into a Treasury-rate environment it has never faced before, carrying a credit structure that looks nothing like the one that broke in 2022. Whatever happens next should finally show whether the bond market or crypto's own leverage has been driving Bitcoin's stress all along.

An anonymous trader holds $415,000 against CLARITY ahead of a Senate test, dwarfing the market’s $160,000 in displayed liquidity.
An anonymous trader on Polymarket holds a No position on the CLARITY Act worth about $414,895, roughly 2.6 times larger than the $160,200 in liquidity currently available on the market where it sits.
Predictbook identified on Aug. 11 that the account was newly created, with no trading history before this position began. The trader deposited about $499,999 in USDC and spent roughly $398,122 building the No side across three trades.
The account held 515,398 No shares when the report was published, making it the market's third-largest No holder at the time, with roughly $101,877 left unspent, equal to about 64% of displayed liquidity.
Polymarket runs on a central limit order book, where resting bids and asks set the price a trader can get. The company's documentation says the displayed probability is normally the midpoint between the best bid and the best ask, and that buyers pay the ask while sellers receive the bid.
The Senate's schedule sets a cloture vote on the CLARITY Act for 2:15 p.m. on Sept. 15. That gives the market its first real information event since the No position was built, one where new political developments and potentially large orders could hit the book at the same time.
The bill's path through Congress remains difficult regardless of the vote's outcome. The House passed its version in July 2025, but CLARITY still needs Senate reconciliation, a 60-vote threshold, alignment between House and Senate text, and a presidential signature.
Locking in profit on a position 2.6 times the size of the market's liquidity depends on finding buyers willing to take the other side at prices close to the mark.
Polymarket's 20% is being read across crypto and policy circles as a real-time verdict on CLARITY's chances. Behind that number is one account holding more No exposure than the market currently has liquidity to support, and a live book that could be moved dramatically by six-figure flow.

Jeonbuk Bank will use Ripple’s 24/7 cross-border payment service for business remittances, but it is unknown whether the flows will use XRP or Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin.
Bank transfers today hop between intermediary banks over the SWIFT messaging network and can take days to arrive. Ripple says its route settles in seconds to minutes and runs around the clock, which the bank will offer to business customers including importers, exporters, IT startups and online content creators.
Fiona Murray, Ripple's managing director for Asia Pacific, said in a statement the deal reflects growing momentum across Korea's institutional financial sector, with banks building digital asset capability and looking for long-term infrastructure partners. Regional banks play a vital role in the real economy, she said.
The company has spent the past year pushing RLUSD, the dollar-pegged token it issues, as the settlement asset for institutional work. CoinDesk asked Ripple which asset the Jeonbuk deployment uses and did not immediately receive a reply.
XRP traded above $3 at last year's highs and has spent August drifting toward and now through $1, CoinDesk data shows, while Ripple has been signing asset managers, custodians and banks.
The split shows on Ripple's own ledger. Tokenized real-world assets on the XRP Ledger are worth about $1.38 billion, as CoinDesk reported earlier in the month, of which $845 million is RLUSD. The stablecoin accounts for more than three fifths of everything issued there.
Futures open interest stood at about $2.78 billion this week, as CoinDesk assessed, with more than three accounts holding long XRP positions for every one holding a short on Binance and a similar ratio on OKX, even as commentary about the token across social channels turned its most negative in three months.

The program came three months before investor unlocks begin, with MON trading below its public-sale price and most of the token supply still outside circulation.
The program was essentially an early exit. Investors willing to take a lower price could get cash now rather than wait for their MON to become tradeable. Any tokens bought by the Foundation remain locked to their original schedule, so the program does not bring them to market early.
Monad is a relatively newer blockchain built to run applications compatible with Ethereum. Its MON token is used to pay transaction fees and help secure the network.
Investors were allocated about 19.7 billion MON, nearly 20% of the original supply. Those tokens were locked when Monad's public network launched last November and began unlocking after a one-year wait, with monthly releases for the remainder of a four-year schedule.
The amount of money deposited in Monad-based decentralized finance apps has climbed to about $895 million from roughly $360 million on July 2, according to DeFiLlama, an increase of almost 150% in about six weeks. Stablecoins on Monad are worth about $707 million, while decentralized exchanges on the network handled roughly $79 million of trading over the past day.
That growth does not explain why investors rejected the Foundation's offer. And without knowing how steep a discount they were asked to take, the lack of sellers cannot be read simply as a bullish call on MON.
But the Foundation said the program was meant to provide liquidity to early investors whose needs or investment plans had changed, while keeping the remaining holder base aligned for the long term.

Miners have cut their computing power by a fifth over three quarters to make room for AI, and Venice's token jumped 10% after the company said it crossed $100 million in annualised revenue.
Alex Kuptsikevich, chief market analyst at FxPro, said bitcoin has now spent four days below its 50-day moving average after an earlier attempt to break above it, and remains below its 200-week average on the longer view. That puts sellers in control on both the medium and very long-term trends, he said, and nothing changes until the price leaves the $62,000 to $65,000 range it has been stuck in.
Bitcoin's own network is changing shape underneath the price. Publicly listed miners have cut their combined computing power by 21% over three quarters as they redeploy capacity to AI infrastructure, according to Miner Weekly, which attributes the shift to weak mining economics and competition from the AI sector for both capital and electricity.
Venice, the AI platform founded by serial crypto entrepreneur Erik Voorhees, said it had crossed $100 million in annualised revenue, and its VVV token rose 10% on the day to around $13.30.
Broader market continued their climb. Oil surged higher, with brent rising over half a percent to just over $91 a barrel after President Donald Trump said he was not interested in extending the expiring agreement with Iran, and as fighting flared again in Lebanon.
Asian bonds followed Treasuries lower on concerns about government finances, with higher energy prices adding to worries that inflation will pick up. Stocks and futures both fell.

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.
