According to Paidun monitoring, more than 10 hacking attacks occurred in the crypto space in August 2024, resulting in losses of approximately $313.86 million. The two largest hacking attacks both involved unauthorized transfers (phishing), accounting for 93.5% of the total stolen funds, totaling $293.4 million. Top five hacking incidents in August: Phishing: $238 million (BTC); Phishing: $55.4 million (DAI); Ronin: $12 million (recovered); Unauthorized transfers: $5.1 million; Nexera: $1.83 million.

Crypto KOL cygaar wrote on X: "The relationship between Ethereum L1 and L2 is now quite unbalanced. L2 gets the benefits of Ethereum security without contributing much value to ETH. I think there are two ways to restore balance: 1. Increase the minimum blob fee Currently, the blob fee is basically zero for rollups, which means that Ethereum gets almost no value from the L2 DA cost. In the world before EIP-4844, rollups have always been the largest source of Gas consumption for ETH, causing ETH to face strong deflationary pressure. However, because DA blobs are basically free, rollups no longer consume too much ETH. This, coupled with the reduction in execution activity on Ethereum L1, has caused ETH to become inflationary again. A perhaps more short-term solution is to increase the base blob fee. L2 must pay a certain amount of fees to use Ethereum DA. One could argue that increasing the cost of Ethereum DA will cause L2 to turn to alternative DAs. solution, but I think chains that want to truly inherit Ethereum security will still pay these costs. 2. Increase L2 usage The current blob pricing curve is set this way because researchers predict that there will be more demand for L2. However, apart from a few major events (initial blob release, blobscriptions, LZ airdrop), the cost of a blob has not exceeded the minimum fee. If L2 demand and usage increase, we may reach a state where the blob pricing curve can appropriately price DA blobs, resulting in a healthy level of ETH destruction on L1. In addition to the DA cost being quite large, the amount of Gas used for rollup settlement may also increase to a considerable amount. In the long run, this is the path that is most beneficial to the Ethereum ecosystem, but it also requires an intrinsic demand for L2 block space. We need more interesting consumer-facing applications to attract users and drive more on-chain usage. In this world, blob fees are almost never at the lowest price, and rollups will pay a large amount to inherit Ethereum's security. "

According to BlockBeats, the BitVol (Bitcoin Volatility) Index, launched by financial index company T3 Index in collaboration with options trading platform LedgerX, dropped to 53.61 on September 1. This marks the lowest level since July 2, with a single-day decrease of 2.79%. The BitVol Index measures the 30-day expected implied volatility derived from tradable Bitcoin options prices. Implied volatility refers to the volatility implied by actual options prices. It is calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing formula, where the actual options price and other parameters, except for volatility (σ), are input into the formula to derive the implied volatility. The actual price of options is determined by the competition among numerous options traders. Therefore, implied volatility represents the market participants' views and expectations for the future, making it the closest approximation to the real-time volatility at that moment.
