According to official news, the prediction market Polymarket announced a significant adjustment to its settlement mechanism for cryptocurrency price fluctuation markets starting from August 7, to protect market integrity. From midnight UTC on that day, the affected markets will no longer settle based on a single price snapshot at a specific time but will instead use a time-weighted average price.Markets of different durations correspond to different TWAP windows: all cryptocurrency 5-minute markets will use a 30-second TWAP, 15-minute markets will use a 60-second TWAP, and 4-hour markets will also use a 60-second TWAP. The previous single snapshot settlement method was prone to price manipulation during periods of low liquidity, and this change is a proactive reinforcement of the market integrity system by Polymarket after facing regulatory scrutiny.To support this transition, Polymarket will inject $1 million in liquidity rewards into all affected markets throughout August. On the technical side, Chainlink TWAP testnet data streams are now available, and mainnet data streams along with Polymarket real-time data stream services will go live on August 4, at which point developers can access TWAP prices directly through Chainlink Data Streams or Polymarket's public WebSocket.

The Kobeissi Letter posted on platform X, stating that according to Goldman Sachs data, over 1.2 million leveraged retail trading accounts in South Korea triggered margin call notifications, with an estimated 320,000 to 360,000 accounts completely liquidated, accounting for about 3.4% of the adult population in South Korea.As the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) has fallen approximately 18% since July 13, it is expected that the number of accounts that have been completely forcibly liquidated has now exceeded 500,000.

Aave founder Stani stated that the recent gradual contraction of low adoption assets and networks on Aave should not be interpreted as a judgment on any L1 or L2. This move is primarily aimed at reducing Aave's risk exposure in operational, technical, and economic aspects, thereby concentrating resources on more impactful key directions, including expanding existing high-value markets and developing securities financing business.He also emphasized that L2 remains an important component of the Ethereum user experience. For example, the stablecoin vault in the Aave application uses L2 as its accounting layer, with the goal of driving mainstream users into decentralized finance. Meanwhile, networks like Avalanche are also promoting the on-chain of real-world assets through institutional business expansion, which has been a relatively weak area for Ethereum in the past.

According to data from The Block, the graduation rate of the Pump.fun token reached 6.7% last Friday, about 8 times the average level of June. The average for the previous four days was also 4.7%, significantly higher than the 2.5% of the previous week. The increase in the graduation rate is directly related to the newly launched BOOST default launch mechanism of Pump.fun.BOOST targets what Pump.fun refers to as dead liquidity—previously, about 20% of the migration liquidity was permanently locked in the PumpSwap pool during token graduation migration. Now, this portion of funds will automatically execute a series of market buy orders within five minutes after migration, and all purchased tokens will be destroyed. BOOST takes effect only after the token is bound and does not mechanically increase the graduation rate; instead, it incentivizes traders to more actively push the token to reach the graduation threshold by ensuring immediate buying pressure and supply destruction after migration.Meanwhile, the PUMP token has risen over 10% year-to-date, with an increase of nearly 60% in the past month, outperforming Bitcoin's approximately 25% decline this year. Its current market capitalization is about $850 million, with a fully diluted valuation of over $1.8 billion.

Dan Bin stated on social media, "You must dare to buy during a big drop; I just spent all my remaining bullets."Previously, he posted, "The 2x long SK Hynix ETF is currently down 25.72%. Leveraged tools can amplify gains, but they also multiply risks. When the tide (TDW) goes out, the brutal fluctuations of the market become clearer. Therefore, it is evident that these types of leveraged products require extra caution."Dan Bin believes that SK Hynix has also become one of the companies that symbolize this round of the AI market. Given the current adjustment pace, the short-term direction will likely become clear very soon. Of course, when looking at a longer time frame, only companies with continuously optimized supply and demand patterns and steadily improving profitability have the chance to navigate through cycles.

According to DefiLlama data, the Ethereum chain random NFT acquisition protocol Fake World Assets, developed by the two-person team Token Works, surpassed the daily revenue of Collector Crypt on Solana within four days of its relaunch on July 20.On July 25, the peak daily revenue reached $447,604, with total fees of $1.6 million, and approximately 90,000 transactions including about 35,000 draws, with a trading volume of around 2,000 ETH. After that, activity declined, with revenue in the past 24 hours dropping to $167,869, ranking second in daily revenue among Ethereum protocols, only behind Sky ($464,303), and ahead of Aave ($105,282) and Uniswap ($76,028).In this protocol, depositors list NFTs along with their pledged ETH collateral (similar to Uniswap V2 trading pairs), where the collateral determines the weight of each NFT and provides depositors with irrevocable continuous bids to reacquire the NFT. Anyone can pay the acquisition price generated by the liquidity pool to obtain a randomly selected NFT.The pool has accumulated over 1,500 NFTs including CryptoPunks, with randomness provided by Chainlink VRF. The token emission incentives expire 15 days after launch, and daily fees have decreased by about half from their peak. Collector Crypt on Solana remains the leader in this sector, with users spending over $209 million on its card packs in June alone.

According to the Dune panel data maintained by the OKX Web3 wallet team, the average daily trading volume of tokenized stocks on the Robinhood Chain reached $29.7 million in the past week, surpassing the combined total of xStocks ($11.1 million) and Backpack Sunrise ($13.4 million) on Solana. The main reason for this growth is that launch platforms like Bankr and long.xyz have allowed users to issue meme coins paired with tokenized stocks for liquidity since mid-July, covering over 90 stock codes. The trading of meme coins generates trading volume for stock tokens while locking the stock tokens in liquidity pools.The tokenized stock with the highest on-chain trading volume is Nvidia (daily trading volume of $13.9 million), followed by SpaceX ($6.2 million) and Apple ($4.5 million). The number of daily active tokenized stock traders peaked at over 20,000 during the week of July 20, the highest among all stock token platforms.However, Binance's bStocks on the BNB Chain has an average daily trading volume of $676.8 million, more than 20 times that of Robinhood. Tokenized stocks still account for only a small portion of the total DEX trading volume on the Robinhood Chain, with most on-chain activity still dominated by meme coins like CASHCAT.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that the Bitcoin funding rate is showing typical signals before the significant increases in September 2024 and December 2022, indicating that pessimism may have recently peaked.From March to May, Bitcoin corrected over 50%, and the accumulation of short positions pushed the funding rate down to negative values. Subsequently, BTC rebounded to $82,000 in May. This signal has appeared again, potentially leaving room for a bullish reconstruction in the coming months. This indicator has been transformed into a monthly sentiment aggregation tool, which is more effective than the Fear and Greed Index.

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted on the X platform in response to the controversy over the v4 fee switch, clarifying that "the reduction of LP fees" is a misunderstanding; the protocol fees are additive rather than deductive, and LPs still earn 30 basis points per transaction.Regarding the claim that "the protocol takes 25% of LP profits," he stated that on a 30 basis point pool, the protocol fee is 5 basis points, accounting for about 14% of the total transaction fees, and LPs have not lost any of their earnings. Hayden Adams also pointed out that centralized exchanges charge 100 to 200 basis points per transaction, making Uniswap's 5 basis point fee at the 30 basis point level 20 to 40 times cheaper. He also criticized some forked projects that charge 100% transaction fees but use uneven inflation set by token voting to "compensate" LPs.
