BNB Chain Chief Growth Officer Nina Rong commented on "the debate between Arbitrum founder Steven Goldfeder and Solana co-founder Toly regarding the Robinhood Chain fee model": "Continuing to push Gas fees lower is no longer the highest priority for the blockchain industry. The real priority for all public chains today is to find sustainable business models and reinvest the profits into technology and growth. This business model can be based on Gas fees, revenue sharing, or other forms of business collaboration. Over the past five years, the impression of blockchain foundations has mostly been two things: one is issuing grants and making investments; the other is reducing Gas fees. If we want to continue for another five years, blockchain companies must have a solid business structure."

On August 28, OKX Director Lennix was invited to attend the Bitcoin Asia 2026 roundtable forum "The Rise of Financial Super Applications," where he shared insights on the integration of traditional finance and the crypto market, the underlying infrastructure of financial super applications, and the development prospects of stock tokenization.Lennix stated that financial products are accelerating towards integration within the same account system. In the future, users will want to trade and manage different categories of financial assets under the same funds, the same account, and the same margin and risk control system, which will become an important direction for the continuous evolution of the industry. He pointed out that on the surface, financial super applications allow trading of crypto, traditional stock assets, foreign exchange, commodities, etc., within one application; however, the real challenge lies in the connectivity of the underlying infrastructure of various assets, including the banking system, wallets, trading accounts, shared margins, and the collaboration between risk control and compliance backends.At the same time, Lennix mentioned that stock tokenization and the tokenization of traditional financial assets are essentially an upgrade to the traditional market. By connecting relevant assets to the matching, margin, risk control, and compliance systems of cryptocurrency exchanges, the market can achieve longer trading and risk management periods, while continuously providing price signals during non-trading hours. When discussing institutional cooperation, Lennix stated that the strategic investment of the Intercontinental Exchange in the OKX Group reflects that the financial market is moving towards tokenization and around-the-clock trading. With the continuous growth of stock tokenization business, this field is expected to become an important development direction for future financial markets.

Matthew Sigel, the Head of Digital Asset Research at the asset management company VanEck, stated on CNBC that Bitcoin does not need a Republican president to perform well, and former President Biden is not anti-Bitcoin. Sigel pointed out that despite Republicans repeatedly criticizing Democrats for being anti-cryptocurrency, and the regulatory agencies under the Biden administration suing digital asset companies, Bitcoin can still develop healthily under Democratic governance.Sigel also discussed the delay in the legislation of the Clarity Act, which aims to establish a classification framework for digital assets and clarify the regulatory jurisdiction over securities, commodities, or payment stablecoins. Some Republican senators accused Democrats of delaying the legislation, while Coinbase's Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad believes that the opposition mainly comes from older Democrats, and the younger generation better understands technological changes, making cryptocurrency potentially the most bipartisan issue in Washington.Recently, Bitcoin has shown strong price performance, rising nearly 24% in the past seven days, reaching as high as $81,160, and currently retreating to about $78,438. Previously, the Trump administration promoted the establishment of a Bitcoin strategic reserve and issued several executive orders supporting cryptocurrency.

ARK Invest's Director of Digital Asset Research, Lorenzo, stated that the latest improvement proposals from Solana and Ethereum are surprising. The market has indicated that Hyperliquid and others are posing strong competition, but the relevant communities are still taking time to adjust inflation arrangements and CU restrictions, which may further decrease the competitiveness of applications. He believes that L1 should prioritize how proposals can enhance network competitiveness, promote growth, and attract more consumer-grade applications and users.Lorenzo pointed out that for Solana, this is certainly not the time to be entangled in the value accumulation of token holders versus cash flow, or to increase the costs for application developers. It is essential to first prove that the pie can be expanded 100 times before discussing how to allocate it. Although in the future, it will be necessary to price high resource-consuming transactions more finely and address token value accumulation, if market share is seized by HYPE, there will be no value to accumulate. The current priority should be to expand the pie 100 times.

The research director of Galaxy posted on the X platform stating that even with a high probability of witch nodes, the peak proportion of BIP-110 nodes is only about 20% of the entire network.He mentioned that it is quite ridiculous to see Mechanic and others so shocked by the failure of BIP-110; even accounting for this approximately 20%, its hash power proportion is still far from sufficient, the scale of hash power is very small, and the node proportion is only about one-fifth, still a long way from the target.

ARK Invest Research Director lorenzoark suggested that Hyperliquid acquire the U.S. compliant trading platform Gemini, transforming it into a U.S. regulated HIP-3 and HIP-4 deployment platform. Hyperliquid is in contact with the CFTC and SEC to support U.S. regulated companies in offering perpetual contract trading and settlement on its public chain. Gemini went public in September 2025 with a valuation of $3.3 billion, and its current market value is approximately $450 million, down over 85% from its IPO. Its core business is under pressure, having scaled back operations in the UK, EU, and Australia, with staff reduced by about 40% from a peak of 402 to 402, and platform assets decreasing from $18.2 billion to $8.4 billion, with spot trading volume down 66%.Approximately $450 million would secure Gemini's complete U.S. regulatory license portfolio, including the NYDFS trust license, CFTC-regulated DCM (Gemini Titan), DCO (Gemini Olympus), an ongoing FCM, nearly all state MTLs, and broker-dealer licenses. In comparison, Kraken's parent company acquired Bitnomial for up to $550 million, making Gemini's overall market value lower. After the acquisition, it could inherit operational assets such as approximately 580,000 monthly active trading users, 1.72 million lifetime users, $8.4 billion in platform assets, quarterly spot volume of $3.8 billion, and approximately $180 million in annualized revenue.
