🔥 CEO of Crypto Lender Delio Gets 15 Years Over $49M Fraud.
Image: Shutterstock/DecryptCreate an account to save your articles.Add on GoogleAdd Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.In brief A Seoul court sentenced Delio chief executive Jeong Sang-ho to 15 years for fraud and for registering as a virtual asset provider using false documents, according to local media. The court ruled evidence seized from Delio's server host was unlawfully obtained, voiding the primary charge covering 2,800 victims and 250 billion won. He was convicted instead on fallback charges covering roughly 1,100 victims and 70 billion won, about $49 million. The Seoul Southern District Court has sentenced Delio chief executive Jeong Sang-ho to 15 years in prison over the collapse of the South Korean crypto deposit platform, five years short of the term prosecutors sought.
Criminal Division 11, presided over by Judge Jang Chan, handed down the ruling on Thursday afternoon, according to local outlet Newsis. The court upheld only part of the prosecution's original case and convicted Jeong largely on a set of fallback charges filed later. The reason was procedural, with Jeong's lawyers arguing that a search and seizure carried out at Gabia, the company hosting Delio's servers, had been unlawful, and the court agreeing. Prosecutors had not guaranteed Delio's right to participate in the search and had not handed over a list of what was seized, the court found, ruling that the platform's database and everything derived from it carried no evidentiary value.

🔥 'Inner Thoughts' of Every Major AI Model Exposed in Massive Exploit.
By decoding 315,320 reasoning blocks scraped from public GitHub and Hugging Face repositories, the researchers recovered 182 credentials, including 62 live API keys, 33 passwords, and 30 personal email addresses. OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google deployed server-side patches after responsible disclosure, but historical session logs already shared publicly remain decodable. Security researchers have found a way to read the encrypted inner thoughts of every major AI reasoning modeland uncovered 62 live API keys and 33 passwords buried in session logs that developers had shared publicly online without knowing what was inside them.
By decoding 315,320 reasoning blocks scraped from public repositories, we recovered 367 Personally Identifiable Information (PII) artifacts and 182 credentials, the researchers wrote. The paper, submitted August 10 by a team from MATS Research, the ELLIS Institute Tbingen, the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, and security firm Snyk, targets a specific class of AI: reasoning models. These are models that don't just answer immediately and instead start with an internal chain-of-thought (a step-by-step scratchpad where the AI works through a problem before showing you the answer), then deliver a final response.
Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google all encrypt that hidden scratchpad. Encryptionthe process of scrambling data into an unreadable codeis meant to protect the company's intellectual property and keep sensitive intermediate reasoning away from users. The encrypted block gets passed back to the provider's servers with every follow-up message, maintaining the conversation without storing anything on the company's end.

The purchase gives Goldman a ready-made crypto income ETF business, a far faster path than its own April filing for a Bitcoin Premium ETF that some analysts saw as an attempt to leapfrog a similar BlackRock product. The move rides a boom in derivative-income ETFsroughly $180 billion in assets and a 70%+ annual growth rate since 2021, per Morningstarwith crypto an increasingly prominent slice.
Goldman Sachs is buying its way into crypto income funds, striking a deal worth up to $2.25 billion to acquire NEOS Investments, the ETF specialist behind one of the market's largest Bitcoin covered-call products. The Wall Street firm said Tuesday the cash-and-equity purchase, contingent on certain performance and service targets, will fold NEOS's roughly $30 billion in options-based income ETFs into Goldman Sachs Asset Management. The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, pending regulatory approval.

Onchain data from Checkonchain shows 233,000 BTC left long-term holder wallets in the days around the breach. Casa CEO Nick Neuman, citing actual customer conversations, says some of that 233,000 BTC came from Ledger and Trezor usersnot Coldcard ownerswho upgraded to multisig after watching the hack unfold.
In the days after the worst hardware wallet exploit in Bitcoins recent history, Casa CEO Nick Neuman began counting more than just the BTC being drained from vulnerable Coldcard wallets. While attackers were draining Coldcard wallets one address at a time, 233,000 BTCworth about $15 billion at todays priceswas quietly moving in search of safety. The massive and ongoing breach that started on July 30 has already led to close to $130 million in stolen Bitcoin from Coldcard hardware walletsphysical gadgets that store private keys entirely offline, never connecting to the internet, and made by Canadian company Coinkite.

🔥 XRP Bridge Drained After Software Treats Fake Deposits as Real.
Source: Decrypt/ShutterstockCreate an account to save your articles.Add on GoogleAdd Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.In brief An attacker drained nearly 200,000 XRP, worth around $202,000, from the Tx XRPL bridge. The bridge credited transactions that did not deliver XRP as deposits. Tx halted the bridge and is considering how to compensate affected users. An attacker drained nearly 200,000 XRP, worth around $202,000, from an XRP Ledger bridge on August 9 by exploiting a flaw in its deposit-detection software, the project said.
In a post on X on Tuesday, Tx, which operates the bridge connecting the Tx Chain and the XRP Ledger, said a software flaw caused the bridge to record transactions as XRP deposits even though no XRP had been received. The attacker exploited the bridge's deposit-detection logic, the company wrote. The bridge's software incorrectly registered transactions that never actually delivered any XRP to the bridge as deposits, and minted bridged XRP on the tx chain against them. Tx is a layer-1 blockchain ecosystem launched in March by combining the Coreum blockchain with Sologenic, an XRP Ledger-based tokenization and trading platform. The attacker used those fraudulent deposits to create unbacked XRP on the Tx Chain, then exchanged it through the bridge for real XRP.

🔥 Crypto-Backed Loans, Explained: How to Unlock Cash Without Selling Your Bitcoin.
Here's how they work.By Sam MeiAug 12, 2026Aug 12, 20266 min readImage: UnsplashCreate an account to save your articles.Add on GoogleAdd Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.In brief Crypto-backed loans give holders cash against their coins without selling, generally avoiding a capital-gains event. Figure advises borrowers to compare four things when shopping: max loan-to-value, fixed vs. variable rate, licensing, and liquidation terms. Licensing and liquidation protection matter more than the headline rate, says the crypto lender, and the product suits only holders comfortable with margin-call risk. If you believe in your crypto, selling it to cover a short-term cash need is the one move you'd rather not make. Sell, and you trigger a taxable event and give up any future upside.
A crypto-backed loan offers another path: borrow cash against your holdings while keeping every coin. You pledge Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana as collateral, and a lender advances you cashwith Figure its up to 75% of your collateral's value*. You keep ownership of the crypto the entire time. No sale, and because borrowing isn't a sale, generally no capital-gains event (this isn't tax advicecheck with a professional on your situation). The category has matured fast, and not every lender is built the same. Four things separate a serious platform from a risky one and they're exactly what you should compare when shopping for the best crypto-backed loan: Fixed vs.

🔥 Why Bitcoin Barely Moved Even as US Inflation Cools to 3.4%.
inflation print in months left crypto markets flat, with Bitcoin shrugging off the data hit. Here's why.By Jose Antonio LanzEdited by Guillermo JimenezAug 12, 2026Aug 12, 20263 min readBitcoin.

Over the past 12 months, prices are up 3.4%, a tick below June's 3.5%. Bitcoin ticked up about 0.3% on the day to roughly $63,750, while total crypto market cap slipped under 1%. inflation in July slowed as expected, and marketsincluding Bitcointook it in stride. The Consumer Price Index, or CPI, increased by 0.1% over the last month after falling 0.4% in June, in line with forecasts, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday.
Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 3.4 percent before seasonal adjustment, the Bureau said. The index for shelter rose 0.1 percent in July, accounting for roughly two-thirds of the monthly all items increase, the Bureau said. Energy pulled the other way, dropping 1.5% as gasoline got cheaper. Strip out food and energy and prices still rose 0.2% in July after stalling in June, and 2.5% over the yearthe gauge the Federal Reserve watches most closely. Here's the chain traders watch. Cooler inflation is, in principle, a dovish signal: it nudges the Federal Reserve toward lower rates, which makes risky assets like Bitcoin more attractive. So a soft CPI usually lifts crypto. Markets priced in this outcome weeks ago.

🔥 A Routing Bug Took Solana 86% of the Way to Losing Finality.
Image: Shutterstock/DecryptCreate an account to save your articles.Add on GoogleAdd Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.In brief Almost 29% of staked SOL went delinquent early Wednesday after a routing fault at hosting provider Teraswitch, against the 33% at which Solana stops finalizing blocks. One network, AS20326, holds some 27% of staked SOL, above the 25% cap the Solana Foundation's delegation program sets, and 94% of it went dark at once. Around 90 validators were affected, losing a combined 333 SOL in rewards. Solana came within 4.51 percentage points of losing the ability to finalize transactions on Wednesday morning, after a single misconfigured route at one hosting provider knocked 28.83% of staked SOL offline.
The chain stops finalizing at 33.34%, meaning the network got roughly 86% of the way there. Teraswitch, the provider, has published a writeup explaining how it happened. The company uses a default route internally to signal that an edge router can reach the internet, with each site normally preferring the one its own routers originate. A default route from its Miami site was propagated with its metric and communities stripped, and a route reflector in Amsterdam pushed it into Europe and Asia-Pacific.

🔥 Harmony's ONE Sinks 37% After Attacker Mints 4 Billion Tokens.
Image: Shuttertock/DecryptCreate an account to save your articles.Add on GoogleAdd Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.In brief Harmony confirmed an exploit after an analyst reported that an attacker minted about 4 billion ONE, roughly 26% of the supply. Around 97% of those tokens have already reached exchanges, on-chain analyst Juiceberg said. ONE was trading at about $0.00077, down 37% on the day, after Harmony shipped a patch to stop further minting. Layer-1 blockchain Harmony has confirmed it was exploited after an attacker minted roughly 4 billion ONE tokens without authorisation, sending the token down 37% to about $0.00077, per CoinGecko data. On-chain analyst Juiceberg flagged the mint early Wednesday, putting it at close to 4 billion tokens, or about 26% of the supply, and saying the tokens had been created through empty blocks.
Around 2.8 billion were funnelled onto exchanges as the price fell. In a follow-up tweet, the analyst said the attacker had roughly 115 million ONE left to sell on-chain, about 2.9% of the total minted. The overwhelming majority (~97%) is already on exchanges, Juiceberg wrote, and had either been sold or was sitting in deposit wallets. Harmony responded in a tweet that it was working with our team and appropriate exchanges to stop and freeze the funds, adding that it was preparing a patch and weighing rollback options. In a second post it named four wallets, each listed in both Harmony and hex formats, and asked exchanges to block anything traced to them.

Attackers stole Bitcoin using credentials taken from vulnerable LND servers. Users running affected software should update to version 2.4.2 immediately. BTCPay Server supporters are offering 10% of any funds recovered, capped at 3 BTC currently worth around $190,000, if all the Bitcoin stolen in a recent exploit is returned. In a post on X on Monday, BTCPay said the offer extends to anyone with information that could help recover the funds, including the attacker.
We will examine our mistakes, but regret alone will not help affected users or secure the project, the company wrote. We have to learn, improve, and act quickly. BTCPay first warned users about the attacks on Friday, urging them to install a new version, 2.4.2, or take their servers offline. At the time, the project had not confirmed any thefts or explained how the exploit worked. According to BTCPay, the flaw allowed attackers to obtain LND admin macaroonscredentials that grant broad control over a Lightning Network nodeand use them to access connected wallets. The Lightning Network is a layer-2 payment network built on the Bitcoin blockchain that enables faster and cheaper transactions.

Attackers stole Bitcoin using credentials taken from vulnerable LND servers. Users running affected software should update to version 2.4.2 immediately. BTCPay Server supporters are offering 10% of any funds recovered, capped at 3 BTC currently worth around $190,000, if all the Bitcoin stolen in a recent exploit is returned. In a post on X on Monday, BTCPay said the offer extends to anyone with information that could help recover the funds, including the attacker.
We will examine our mistakes, but regret alone will not help affected users or secure the project, the company wrote. We have to learn, improve, and act quickly. BTCPay first warned users about the attacks on Friday, urging them to install a new version, 2.4.2, or take their servers offline. At the time, the project had not confirmed any thefts or explained how the exploit worked. According to BTCPay, the flaw allowed attackers to obtain LND admin macaroonscredentials that grant broad control over a Lightning Network nodeand use them to access connected wallets. The Lightning Network is a layer-2 payment network built on the Bitcoin blockchain that enables faster and cheaper transactions.

🔥 SEC Prepares Escape Hatch From Securities Registration for Crypto Projects.

The framework would let projects raise capital without full securities registration, with an exit from SEC oversight once they decentralize. The vote follows the Senate's failure to advance the Clarity Act; a final rule is still months away. The Securities and Exchange Commission will hold an open meeting on Friday to consider whether to propose new rules that would let crypto projects raise capital without registering securities.
The Sunshine Act notice, posted Aug. 10, says the commission will weigh a release creating a tailored framework for certain digital-asset offerings. If opened for comment, it would be the agency's first durable rule for the industry, not another staff statement. The shape of that framework has been building for months. SEC Chair Paul Atkins has pushed a Regulation Crypto Assets approach built on exemptions rather than enforcement.

🔥 AI Agent Hacks a GymAnd the Tech World Wonders What's Next.
The case comes as major AI developers disclose that their models compromised websites and other online services. Researchers found that agents frequently carried out harmful tasks without considering the consequences. An AI agent was asked to book a gym class and found a security flaw, exploited it, and removed another member from the waitlist without permission. According to a report by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), the incident occurred earlier this year when Andrew, whose last name was withheld, used an OpenClaw agent using Anthropics Claude to book a class. The agent found that he was fourth on the waitlist.
When Andrew asked whether it could move him to the top, the agent discovered that the booking platforms application programming interface, or API, did not check whether users were authorized to cancel other peoples reservations. It tested the flaw by removing the first person on the list, moving Andrew from fourth to third. The API has zero authorisations checks on cancelling other peoples reservations, the agent told him, according to ABC. Andrew told the agent to reverse the cancellation, but it could not restore the members reservation. Bad newsI can't add them back, the AI agent reportedly said.

Non-cash losses involving digital assets, pledged assets, and equities topped $190 million. Its Bitcoin and Cronos holdings lost more than 33% of their value during the first half. Falling cryptocurrency prices took a heavy toll on Trump Media Technology Group during the second quarter, saddling the Truth Social parent company with a $238 million net lossa steep increase from the $20 million it lost a year earlier. In its second-quarter earnings report, Trump Media said the vast bulk of the loss came from non-cash charges rather than money spent or assets sold.
Those included more than $190 million in unrealized losses across digital assets, pledged digital assets, and equity securities. As part of management's efforts to streamline TMTG's strategic vision and focus resources on growth initiatives, the Company has substantially resolved its legacy legal matters, Trump Media wrote, adding that it expects legal expenses to fall significantly, freeing up resources for growth. The report did not disclose how much of that quarterly hit came from Bitcoin alone. The damage extended across the first half of 2026. According to a June SEC filing, Trump Media recorded about $361 million in digital asset-related losses during the six months ended June 30.

🔥 Why Strategy Is Selling Bitcoin and How Much It Has Sold So Far.
The program allows the company to sell BTC to fund dividends, replenish its cash reserve, and repurchase securities. Here's why Strategy is selling Bitcoin and how much it has sold so far. Since 2020, publicly traded technology company Strategy has spent billions buying Bitcoin. After years of its leadership saying it would never sell, the worlds largest corporate holder of Bitcoin is now selling some of its stockpile. Strategys aggressive Bitcoin accumulation has become a model for other companies looking to add the cryptocurrency to their balance sheets.
However, Strategy began shifting away from its strict buy-and-hold approach as market conditions worsened in 2026. Last week, Strategy sold 1,690 BTC for $108.6 million, according to its latest disclosure, continuing a series of sales that began earlier this year. In May, CEO Phong Le said Strategy could sell Bitcoin when doing so would benefit shareholders. At the point where selling Bitcoin versus selling equity to pay a dividend is better for our bitcoin-per-share, we will do it, Le told CNBC. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor said Strategy could sell Bitcoin to fund dividends, while stressing that its goal was to never be a net seller of Bitcoin, rather than never sell at all.

🔥 Luke Dashjr Removed as BIP Editor After BIP-110 Bitcoin Fork Stalls.
Image: Shutterstock/DecryptCreate an account to save your articles.Add on GoogleAdd Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.In brief Luke Dashjr has been removed as a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal editor and no longer holds editor or admin access to the BIPs repository. Fellow editor Mark Murch Erhardt filed the motion on August 9, citing a conflict of interest over BIP-110, minimal contribution to the role, and a breakdown in coordination between editors. Dashjr has continued to dispute the outcome and said on Monday he was taking a sabbatical from mining pool Ocean.
Luke Dashjr has lost his role as a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal editor, days after the soft fork he championed split off a chain that mined two blocks and stopped. Fellow editor Mark Erhardt, who goes by Murch, put the motion to the Bitcoin Development Mailing List on August 9 and opened a pull request the same day as what he called a sample implementation of it. Erhardt gave four grounds, arguing first that Dashjr had exercised editorial authority inconsistently with the established editorial process unfairly favoring the proposal he was involved in, pointing to an attempt to assign BIP-110 a number publicly on X before it had been discussed on the mailing list, and to a merge completed within minutes of the pull request opening.

🔥 North Korea Now Leans on Crime Networks to Launder Stolen Crypto: RUSI.
Image: Shutterstock/DecryptCreate an account to save your articles.Add on GoogleAdd Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.In brief North Korea stole at least $2.8 billion in crypto between January 2024 and September 2025 and increasingly launders it through established criminal networks, a paper from British think tank RUSI says. Third parties sometimes buy the stolen coins outright at a discount, or the funds turn up mixed with proceeds from investment scams. Cashing out relies on money mules recruited in the Philippines, Indonesia and China, whose credentials sell cheaply enough to buy at scale.
North Korea is increasingly pushing stolen cryptocurrency through the same money-laundering networks used by scam syndicates and organised crime, blurring the trail investigators follow, according to a research paper published this month by the Royal United Services Institute, a British defence and security think tank. The regime stole at least $2.8 billion in virtual assets between January 2024 and September 2025, funds the paper says are assumed to support its weapons programme. Authors Allison Owen and Nomi Tamb focus on the point where that money turns into cash, rather than the well-documented journey through decentralised services.
