CryptoQuant Research Director Julio Moreno stated that after Bitcoin rose 24% in two weeks, it is currently facing temporary resistance, fluctuating in the range of $76,000 to $82,000. Its overall trend remains bullish, but it needs to break through the 365-day moving average located around $81,700 to confirm a new bull market; if it fails to break through, the price may continue to maintain a range-bound oscillation.On-chain data shows that the current nearest and most significant supply resistance zone is between $77,100 and $80,200, where long-term holders have sold up to 539,000 BTC in the past 30 days. Subsequent resistance levels are at $83,600 and $88,700, with $88,700 historically being a point where active traders often take profits. If Bitcoin turns downward, the 200-day moving average near $70,000 may provide support; another support range is between $62,000 and $65,000, where long-term holders have accumulated approximately 476,000 BTC this year.

The first two batches of confiscated assets in the Singapore 3 billion Singapore dollars money laundering case have officially opened for auction, with an overall estimated value between 2.9 million and 3.9 million. The auction is conducted solely online, and bidders cannot place bids in person or via phone. Currently, the confiscated items are stored in the Le Freeport warehouse at Changi North, and interested bidders from Singapore and abroad can visit, but must make an appointment in advance, with limited slots available. Among the items, the most notable are the limited edition pumpkin bags from Louis Vuitton and Yayoi Kusama.It is reported that this case is one of the largest money laundering cases in Singapore in recent years. The involved person, Wang Shuiming's partner, Su Weiyi, has been confirmed as the mastermind behind the cryptocurrency platform scam Atom Asset Exchange. Another involved person, Su Baolin, had received illegal online gambling proceeds from abroad through USDT and exchanged part of the USDT for at least 463,000 Singapore dollars in cash in 2023. He also used USDT to purchase a Toyota Alphard.

The DAO governance platform Aragon announced the launch of Confidential Voting, a governance plugin based on the Zama Protocol for Aragon OSx. This plugin keeps individual votes encrypted during the counting process while retaining the familiar Aragon voting experience. Zama's programmable confidentiality allows projects to define decryptable information, decryptors, and conditions.Voters select for, against, or abstain through the Aragon interface, choosing to encrypt and submit using the Zama Relayer SDK on the client side. The plugin utilizes fully homomorphic encryption for verification, weighting, and accumulating encrypted votes, only performing threshold decryption on the final counts of for, against, and abstain after the voting ends. The plugin does not grant decryption rights to individual ballots.To maintain confidentiality during voting, the system does not provide real-time counting, does not support early execution, and allows voters to change their encrypted votes before the deadline. The plugin adopts a modular architecture, allowing it to be used in parallel with other governance primitives, and actions related to proposals are executed by the DAO after approval.

The Chief Financial Officer of SpaceX stated that there is more confidence in the company reaching its annual revenue target of 100 billion dollars.

According to the official statement from Osmosis, the proposal for the solution regarding the previous Nomic chain nBTC incident is now online and has officially entered community discussion.According to the proposal, the Osmosis governance community will consider confiscating the previously frozen assets of the attacker and using the accumulated BTC in the community fund pool to cover the remaining collateral gap, in order to restore the full collateral support for Alloyed BTC. Currently, this plan still needs to go through governance discussion and voting, and the asset confiscation or collateral replenishment has not yet been completed.

Nick Tomaino, the founder of 1confirmation, posted on the X platform stating that the investment value of ETH lies in its nature as a trustworthy and neutral store of value, representing the only opportunity on this planet that could potentially reach a scale of over $100 trillion. Currently, the market size of Ethereum is only about $300 billion, which theoretically means there is still a 333-fold increase potential.In the current market, only ETH and BTC are competing for the positioning of "trustworthy and neutral store of value," while all other tokens are essentially "company coins"—prices are driven up by insiders, tied to specific jurisdictions, and heavily reliant on business development (BD) and top-down marketing. Ethereum is also the ecosystem with the strongest social scalability in the crypto space. Serious developers do not want to build applications on your L1; what they seek is greater control and better economic benefits.Robinhood Chain, as an L2, proves this point—it expands the network effects of EVM on one hand while also promoting the distribution of ETH on the other. Nowadays, many early participants of ETH have also started using Robinhood Chain, further reinforcing the overall network effect.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan has confirmed that Taiwanese companies will invest an additional 20 billion USD in the United States. Minister of Economic Affairs Wang Mei-hua stated that in response to order demands, in addition to the main production bases in Taiwan, capacity will also be increased in the United States, primarily focusing on semiconductor manufacturers, supply chains, and AI server manufacturers.U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo previously stated that Taiwan would announce investments of 20 to 30 billion USD in the U.S. next week. The Ministry of Economic Affairs responded that this investment is the 20 billion USD announced by Wang Mei-hua during the opening of the SEMICON TAIWAN 2026 U.S. Pavilion on the 2nd. Wang Mei-hua pointed out that global orders for AI and semiconductors are booming, and the global president of SEMI has raised the forecast for global semiconductor revenue in 2030 from 1 trillion USD to 2 trillion USD.The Ministry of Economic Affairs' review shows that as of May this year, 20 semiconductor and AI server-related companies have announced investments of 35 billion USD in the United States, with an additional 20 billion USD added in the following months. Future cooperation will also extend to industries such as biotechnology and natural gas.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has publicly released its request for comments regarding "Novel ETFs," which may hold crypto assets or adopt unconventional strategies. The disagreement centers on whether the filing documents should remain public before the fund begins trading and how quickly the review process should be. Crypto asset management firm Grayscale and the crypto policy organization Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI) support establishing an optional confidential filing period to reduce competitors from submitting imitation documents.Charles Schwab opposes complete confidentiality and suggests that filing documents should be made public at least 75 days in advance. Grayscale requests that the SEC respond within 45 days, while CCI argues that the confidentiality process should not extend the automatic effectiveness or review period. Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (A16z) supports shortening the review time but emphasizes that the rigor of the review should not be reduced; trading firm Jane Street believes that accelerating the process could lead to a decline in product quality, competitiveness, and liquidity.Currently, there are 174 ETFs related to crypto assets in the U.S., with BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) managing approximately $61 billion in assets, accounting for about 38% of the total assets of related ETFs. The SEC will decide whether to adjust the confidentiality arrangements for filings and the speed of the review.

According to CriptoNoticias, the Argentine Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF) conducted a special training course titled "Virtual Assets: Financial Analysis, Tracking, Detection, and Seizure" for internal staff, officials, and judges on August 19 and September 2, 2026, via the Zoom platform, with anti-money laundering specialist lawyer Carmen Chena as the speaker.The course covered topics such as digital wallet asset analysis, domestic and international legal frameworks, the cryptocurrency ecosystem, and practical case studies on preservation measures. Previously, the Argentine judicial system had accumulated rich experience in cryptocurrency-related cases, including the freezing of 3 million USDT in December 2024 and the ruling in 2022 for Binance to return stolen BTC.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that the company will definitely develop humanoid robots while also exploring other forms of robots. He believes that the reality of human society and tools is mostly designed around the human body structure, so humanoid robots are reasonable; however, the robot form is not the key, what is truly important is the "robot brain."Altman mentioned that in the short term, humanoid robots are unlikely to enter ordinary households. OpenAI prefers to first apply them in industrial scenarios such as data center construction and maintenance, while general-purpose robots for individual users are a long-term goal.

Term Labs released a technical report on the security incident, confirming that all fixed-rate loan positions in the affected vault have been restored as of August 25. The incident was limited to the liquid balance within the Term vault, and Term V1 and V2 contracts were not compromised, with the direct lending market remaining open.Attack process: From August 17 to 18, the attacker funded an operational wallet through Tornado Cash and submitted a malicious proposal disguised as a governance proposal, setting the governance delay parameter to zero and removing the window for LP blocking changes. On August 23, the attacker executed two batches of attacks, extracting assets from the ETH and USDC strategies and transferring them to the attacker's wallet. Term Labs stated that it has cooperated with law enforcement, the affected vault and strategies have been closed, and the contracts have been upgraded and migrated before expiration.

The semiconductor and AI independent research organization SemiAnalysis released a deep security report on Neocloud (new cloud), revealing various cross-tenant security vulnerabilities discovered during the ClusterMAX 3 testing period. In a four-month test covering 25 vendors and 32 clusters, the team achieved multiple instances of cross-tenant remote code execution (RCE) solely by exploiting publicly known vulnerabilities and basic configuration checks. Affected entities included banks, telecommunications companies, universities, research institutions, AI laboratories, and even a national intelligence agency.Typical issues included: shared Kubernetes control plane leading to tenant metadata visibility, container escape, exposure of BMC/IPMI management networks, incorrect configuration of InfiniBand security keys (P_Key, SA_Key, M_Key), unfortified default trust mode of BlueField DPU, Grafana monitoring dashboards using god-level API keys, and lack of VXLAN isolation in front-end networks. The report specifically pointed out a cascading vulnerability case: a misconfiguration of shared vCluster combined with software versions being two years out of date ultimately completed the POC verification of cross-tenant RCE within an afternoon.Notably, the report questioned the mainstream narrative that "AI has fundamentally changed the pace of cybersecurity": statistics on CVEs for NVIDIA GPU drivers, CUDA, PyTorch, Kubernetes, Docker, and the Linux kernel showed that there was no significant increase in vulnerabilities after the popularization of AI coding models, with most data supporting the "no change hypothesis." The report also detailed the incident where an OpenAI-trained agent attacked Hugging Face, where the AI agent achieved cluster-level privilege escalation through a message board established via Artifactory, which went undetected from May to July. While building POC verification for existing vulnerabilities, the team found that Claude Fable and GPT-5.6 Sol frequently rejected security-related requests, ultimately relying on open-source models such as DeepSeek V4, Kimi K3, and GLM-5.2 to complete the task.SemiAnalysis stated that the core issue in the Neocloud (new cloud) industry is not the new risks brought by AI, but rather the long-term absence of basic patch management, tenant isolation, and security design. They recommended that vendors establish automated security announcement monitoring systems and rectify single points of failure that could expose all users' architectural patterns.

According to Decrypt, the financial investigation department of the police in Avon and Somerset, UK, has seized 20.21 bitcoins along with other crypto assets and bank account funds, totaling approximately $1.4 million (£1.03 million). Investigators traced the assets to dark web markets that operated between 2016 and 2019, all of which have now been shut down by law enforcement and were involved in criminal activities such as drug supply and human trafficking.This is the largest cryptocurrency seizure operation by the police since the introduction of the cryptocurrency wallet freezing order in the UK in April 2024. This power allows the police to freeze and seize cryptocurrencies without prior arrests, transferring them to wallets controlled by law enforcement, and seizing written passwords or storage devices. The individuals involved had previous money laundering convictions and are now deceased.The police pointed out that every transaction processed by these markets is permanently recorded on the blockchain, serving as a valuable source of evidence. The assets were seized earlier this year under the Proceeds of Crime Act, with the court determining that they represented proceeds from illegal activities, and the recovered funds will be used for community and policing projects.
