According to CNBC, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev responded to AMC CEO Adam Aron's criticism of the stock token business, stating that after a company goes public, its stocks will become transferable property, and other financial institutions should be able to create financial products referencing the relevant stocks without needing the issuer's permission.Tenev stated that publicly traded companies have the right to control their own rights and obligations regarding the issuance of stocks, but cannot control other companies issuing securities that reference their stocks. Robinhood's stock tokens are issued by independent entities and are backed by the underlying stocks, so obtaining the consent of the publicly traded company should not be automatically required.Tenev also acknowledged that holders of stock tokens do not have voting rights in the underlying company. These tokens are designed as debt securities supported by the underlying stocks. As for how Robinhood will exercise the voting rights associated with the underlying stocks, the company has stated that it has not announced any related plans.

The tenth round of executive option pool at Japan's Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet continues to spark shareholder dissatisfaction. This option pool was originally designed to be 20% of the fully diluted equity and automatically expands as the company issues new shares to increase its Bitcoin holdings. Some shareholders are calling for the cancellation of the newly added 273 million shares and for greater transparency in future decision-making. On August 18, Metaplanet froze the option pool at 319.5 million shares, but critics argue that this actually amplifies the dilution for existing shareholders, as the option pool increased from 46 million shares to 319.5 million shares.Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich has committed to re-evaluating the company's governance and compensation policies and clarifying its relationship with shareholder MMXX Ventures, stating that it is merely a non-controlling significant shareholder of MMXX's parent company and does not hold an executive position. On August 31, Metaplanet disclosed that Gerovich had exercised 92,000 shares from the option pool. Matthew Sigel, head of digital asset research at VanEck, suggested freezing further exercise rights of the tenth round option pool, allowing holders to voluntarily waive excess rights, and replacing the tenth round option pool with a five-year incentive plan primarily linked to each share's fully diluted Bitcoin holdings, approved by shareholders.In its announcement on August 18, Metaplanet acknowledged that the decision to expand the option pool "amplified the dilution borne by existing shareholders." As of Wednesday's close in Tokyo, Metaplanet's stock price rose, narrowing the five-day decline to about 16.3%.

According to official news, The Sandbox announced the official opening of SAND compensation claims. Users affected by the cross-chain contract vulnerability incident involving Base and BNB Smart Chain (BSC) networks on August 22, who held bridged SAND on the affected networks before the incident, can receive full compensation in SAND on the Ethereum network at a 1:1 ratio. Eligibility for compensation is based on the on-chain balance snapshot before the incident and is unrelated to any transactions, transfers, or holdings by users after the incident.The Sandbox stated that eligibility for compensation is determined based on the on-chain balance recorded before the contract was compromised. The snapshot for the Base network corresponds to block 50283188 at 23:42:03 UTC on August 21, 2026, and the BSC snapshot corresponds to block 117322025 at 11:42:44 UTC on August 21, 2026.Users holding Base or BSC network SAND through centralized exchanges do not need to take any action, as The Sandbox is coordinating with the relevant exchanges to handle compensation; however, users holding SAND in personal wallets will need to claim it themselves. The claim period is from September 8 to September 22, 24:00 (UTC+8). Claims only require a transaction initiated from the original wallet that held SAND at the time of the snapshot, without the need for token authorization, signing off-chain messages, or transferring to any address.

The cross-chain protocol Router Protocol announced that after more than four years of development, it has decided to gradually cease operations and will fully shut down before September 30, 2026. The team stated that over the past two years, Web3 liquidity has remained scarce, the market focus has shifted to AI, the enthusiasm for cross-chain interoperability has waned, and the revenue from bridging services has been insufficient to cover costs. Although various paths such as commercialization, licensing, and acquisitions were attempted in the past year, no sustainable solution was achieved. Router Protocol will permanently destroy 303,333,198 ROUTE tokens pending in the treasury and will coordinate with centralized exchanges to delist ROUTE. Holders need to withdraw their tokens according to the arrangements of each exchange before the deadline. In addition, the project will not launch any new plans related to ROUTE and plans to open-source some technical components for community use.

According to the Guangzhou Daily New Flower City report, a man in Guangzhou lent 1 virtual currency to a friend, agreeing to return it two days later. After the other party failed to return it on time, he was sued, with the plaintiff requesting the return of the virtual currency or compensation at market price.The Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court ruled that the relevant virtual currency lending agreement was invalid and did not support the return of the virtual currency or compensation at market price. Virtual currency belongs to online virtual property, and the borrower should still compensate the lender for property losses, ultimately ruling to compensate 199,600 yuan based on the cost price at which the lender purchased the virtual currency.

US President Trump stated on social media that Iran has officially become a failed state. It is "dead"! They have no navy, no air force, no currency, they cannot afford to pay soldiers and police, the inflation rate is as high as 300%, and their leadership is completely chaotic, unable to properly represent the country.The only things they have are "fake news" from the United States, the willingness to kill protesters (over 100,000 have died so far. They must be tried for crimes against humanity!), and a set of nice "nonsense."

HyENA announced that it will cease operations and close all markets, with user funds unaffected. The official statement indicated that HyENA was built on the Hyperliquid HIP-3 standard and Ethena's USDe, allowing traders to earn profits while using USDe as margin for trading perpetual contracts, processing a cumulative trading volume of over $4 billion, serving more than 12,000 traders, and distributing nearly 2.5 million USDe rewards to margin users.The official statement noted that with the further alignment of Hyperliquid and USDC, the development space for USDe margin on the platform has changed, leading to the decision to terminate HyENA. Markets will be delisted in the order of one market per hour from August 31 to September 2, with positions automatically settled at the final marked price, and margins returned to the spot balance. HLPe deposits can be claimed at a 1:1 ratio along with accumulated rewards and withdrawn via Upshift, with the final reward distribution date set for August 27 and the final affiliate commission payment date on September 9.Additionally, the Ethena exchange reward program ended in June 2026, and HyENA points will remain in their final state, with no snapshots, conversions, or distributions taking place, and they hold no monetary value. The official emphasized that HyENA has no tokens and no issuance plans.

The Sandbox released an update on the security vulnerability attack incident involving the SAND cross-chain bridge, stating that the attacker modified the verification mechanism to forge cross-chain deposit messages and mint unbacked SAND. This incident resulted in approximately 14.7423 million SAND being withdrawn, valued at about $697,000. Additionally, some uncollateralized SAND was profited through market trading, leading to an overall economic impact of approximately $1.497 million, of which the attacker actually obtained about $987,000.The Sandbox stated that the attack did not affect the supply of SAND on Ethereum and Polygon, with the total amount of SAND on Ethereum remaining unchanged at 3 billion. There were also no super administrator privileges stolen, and the attack stemmed from a vulnerability caused by the combination of the general call function in the token contract and the design of bridge permissions. Currently, the related addresses have been marked, and collaboration has begun with exchanges, security agencies, and the LayerZero team.For affected users, The Sandbox promises to compensate wallets holding legitimate bridged SAND with a 1:1 ratio of SAND on the Ethereum chain based on an on-chain snapshot taken before the attack. The compensation application process is expected to open within two weeks and will last for two weeks.

According to Digital Asset, South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb won the first instance of a lawsuit regarding the "misissued Bitcoin" incident, with the court ruling that users who sold the misissued Bitcoin must return approximately 194 million won (about 145,000 USD).In February of this year, Bithumb faced a huge controversy after erroneously distributing 620,000 Bitcoins (worth about 5 billion USD at the time) as activity rewards. Subsequently, Bithumb initiated a recovery program and reported in March that 99% of the misissued Bitcoins had been recovered. This ruling is the first in four lawsuits filed against users who have not returned the funds, and the likelihood of Bithumb winning the subsequent three lawsuits has also increased. The basis for the court's ruling and whether the defendants will appeal have not yet been disclosed.

The engineering collective Shipyard, focused on IPFS and libp2p technologies, announced that Protocol Labs will not renew its funding. As a result, Shipyard will gradually cease its engineering, maintenance, and infrastructure operations related to IPFS, with a final deadline of September 30, 2026.Shipyard stated that several core projects it maintains (including Kubo, Helia, Boxo, Rainbow, IPFS Desktop, etc.) will no longer have dedicated maintainers responsible for new features, fixes, and releases; contributions to go-libp2p and js-libp2p will stop; and the public infrastructure it operates (such as ipfs.io, dweb.link, IPFS bootstrap nodes, etc.) will also cease, with the future of related domains and infrastructure to be determined by Protocol Labs. The team will assist with the transition before the end of September.

XCAD Network officially announced the cessation of operations. The project stated that there have been no updates since April, and there are currently no remaining funds. Continuing to stay on the exchange is a losing battle, and related products and services will no longer be maintained.The official statement mentioned that the company has been operating for five years, making it one of the few projects that have persisted for a long time without being listed on a tier-one exchange. The fan tokens failed to gain traction after retail investors exited, and the team attempted to pivot towards AI influencers but was unsuccessful and is now unable to continue. The team is considering making the code public for those in need to run it themselves, emphasizing that this is not a continuation of the company, nor a restart.

Nick Timiraos, the chief economic reporter for The Wall Street Journal and known as the "mouthpiece of the Federal Reserve," recently wrote that Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh is facing intense scrutiny from Congress. On Wednesday local time, four members of the Senate Banking Committee, led by Senator Chris Van Hollen, jointly sent a letter to Warsh, demanding that he publicly disclose all communication details with President Donald Trump.Earlier reports indicated that Warsh had maintained frequent phone contact with Trump since taking office, but the publicly available schedule from the Federal Reserve does not record any related calls during Warsh's early days in office. Lawmakers believe that this "selective transparency" could raise concerns about government interference in monetary policy.Kevin Hassett, the director of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, previously stated that Warsh has long engaged in economic discussions with Trump but claimed that Trump would not pressure the Federal Reserve. Trump later denied the related reports, stating that he had only had a brief conversation with Warsh a few days prior.Currently, the Federal Reserve has stated that it will continue to delay the disclosure of the chairman's schedule according to established rules. The market is watching to see if Warsh will provide additional information and whether this matter will affect public confidence in the independence of the Federal Reserve.

UK agricultural robotics startup Versatile RobotX has completed over €1.17 million (approximately £1 million) in funding, with sources including the British Design Fund (BDF), the second round of the Innovate UK Growth Catalyst investor collaboration program, and grants from the Defra Agricultural Innovation Scheme.The company was co-founded in July 2024 by Professor Klaus McDonald-Maier from the University of Essex and Dr. Vishwanathan Mohan. Its two core products—the automated fruit and vegetable picking robot and the hydroponic harvesting robot—have completed field validation at well-known UK farms such as Wilkin & Sons.

According to Fortune, an analysis of executive compensation by the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) shows that Elon Musk's total compensation from Tesla in 2025, calculated based on the fair value on the date of restricted stock grants, is approximately $158.3 billion, which is about 2.52 million times the median annual salary of Tesla employees at $57,243. Based on this calculation, Musk earns compensation equivalent to a Tesla employee's annual salary approximately every 4.23 seconds.The AFL-CIO stated that Musk's 2025 compensation package is at a "historic level" that has been "unprecedented" since it began tracking CEO compensation in 1997. His compensation is about 14 times the total compensation of all other S&P 500 company CEOs, while the average CEO compensation in the S&P 500 is approximately 312 times that of employees.It is important to note that the $158.3 billion is not the actual cash Musk will receive that year, but rather the fair value calculated based on the restricted stock granted by Tesla in 2025 on the grant date. This batch of stock could ultimately be worth up to $1 trillion, provided that Tesla meets the corresponding performance requirements.

According to Arkham monitoring, Alameda Research associated addresses transferred a total of 8.25 million USD in SOL to BitGo custody wallets through 24 transactions, presumably for distribution of compensation to FTX creditors.Arkham data shows that Alameda currently still holds over 200 million USD in SOL.

According to an exclusive report from "Du Jia," Xiaohongshu is developing a brand new "AI Shopping Guide" feature, which relies on a conversational interaction model to directly push product cards and attach order jump links in Q&A scenarios. This project is led by Daoxuan (Pan Boyuan). As of the time of publication, Xiaohongshu has not responded.Previously, Xiaohongshu launched an AI summary feature in store reputation, and this AI shopping guide is a further extension of its intelligent transaction chain. According to public data, Xiaohongshu has approximately 400 million global MAU, with 39 million users engaging in explicit purchasing behavior daily, resulting in 140 million active purchase requests, over 47 million users entering merchant live streams, and more than 170,000 merchant group chats remaining active. During the 618 period, the GMV of store broadcasts increased by 265% year-on-year, and note content drove transaction growth of over 210%.Xiaohongshu currently adopts a dual transaction model of "internal marketplace closed loop plus external traffic diversion," and there is still room for improvement in the direct order conversion rate within the platform. The launch of the AI shopping guide feature is expected to further enhance its internal e-commerce GMV and revenue.
