Cathie Wood posted on platform X, stating that David Sacks believes recent reports about "AI will destroy humanity" may be orchestrated by humans.Wood pointed out that the relevant remarks initially came from a long-inactive X account of an employee at Anthropic, who left the company just six weeks after joining, and the related content quickly entered mainstream media. David Sacks also identified the parties involved in the incident and criticized the role played by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).Cathie Wood stated that all technologies can potentially be used for malicious purposes. She believes that some individuals, including Elon Musk, who continuously emphasize the potential risks of AI are not participants in a political conspiracy but are playing a positive role. Wood said, "Half of solving the problem, including AI, is understanding the problem."

Galaxy Research published that the attackers in the Coldcard "Wave 3" attack are still continuously transferring the stolen funds. During this phase, the attackers created 293 2-of-2 multi-signature wallets for each victim's assets. The first batch of funds was transferred across chains to Ethereum via THORChain; the latest round of transfers has begun entering the CoinJoin mixing process.Currently, the Wave 3 attackers are processing the largest amounts of stolen funds in order of the stolen amount, having sequentially transferred the funds from wallets ranked 1 to 11. The next 10 wallets that have not yet been transferred hold a total of 30.81 BTC, while wallets ranked 61 to 293 hold a total of 33.77 BTC. So far, the attackers have transferred about 45% of the stolen assets from this exploit, with funds flowing to Ethereum (via THORChain) or entering CoinJoin mixing transactions. Additionally, this fund transfer has revealed a previously unknown wallet: 58 addresses jointly spent in a 2-of-2 multi-signature format identical to that of Wave 3, and these were further transferred by the Wave 3 attackers to a jump address that funds CoinJoin.The on-chain analysis team currently marks this wallet as "cause = open," but believes it likely also belongs to Coldcard victims, which means the number of wallets involved in Wave 3 may increase to 294, raising the previously reported total amount stolen from the Coldcard vulnerability to approximately 1806 BTC. Currently, about 82% of the stolen BTC remains in addresses initially controlled by the attackers, while about 18% has been transferred, with the flow of funds indicating that it may be undergoing laundering processes.

ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood stated that the employment report on Friday was strong, with non-farm employment increasing by 162,000, household survey employment growth exceeding 500,000, and the average workweek increasing, indicating that the economy was performing well in August.Wood noted that many will see more inflation and Federal Reserve tightening, but she sees greater changes. Overall inflation is at 3.7%, with other measures closer to 2%. Oil prices could drop to $30, stocks are reaching all-time highs as interest rates rise, capital expenditures have broken through a ceiling not seen in over 20 years, and companies embracing artificial intelligence are creating jobs faster.She stated that these are not isolated signals and may mark the beginning of stronger real growth and robust technology-driven deflation. The consensus is pricing for the old economy, and she believes a new economy is forming.

ARK Invest researcher Lorenzo Valente stated that after analyzing the contract-level data of Robinhood Chain, he believes that most of the trading activity on the chain may not be contributed by the newly introduced crypto users from Robinhood.Valente noted that the only wallet activity that can be clearly confirmed as coming from Robinhood users is the Swap transactions conducted by Robinhood Wallet through the 0x Settler contract, but this portion of transactions accounts for less than 1%; even if some unidentifiable long-tail transactions are included, the proportion of transactions related to Robinhood users may only be about 5%. The remaining trading activities mainly come from trading terminals like GMGN and OKX, which are basically consistent with the Degen trading behavior of these platforms on other public chains.Valente concluded that the current situation presented by Robinhood Chain resembles "the same group of Degen, just on a new chain." Robinhood Chain itself is an open, permissionless Layer 2 network, and any EVM-compatible wallets and applications can connect, so on-chain trading activity does not necessarily equate to new users from Robinhood.
