HyperEVM contract deployments have surpassed 800,000. According to Odaily, the figure was tracked by HyperliquidNews.

MANTRA said in an August 20 security incident report that an attacker used a Cosmos EVM integer underflow vulnerability to transfer 720.924 million MANTRA from two addresses. According to Odaily, 600 million tokens came from a burn address and 121 million came from a genesis multisig address. The report said the attack did not involve validator or administrator keys. The vulnerability was fixed on the development branch on May 15 and merged into the release branch on August 19. The first abnormal transfer occurred at 11:06 (UTC+8) on August 21, after which MANTRA Chain was halted at 15:13 (UTC+8) and restarted on August 22 under version v8.4.0. MANTRA said 683 million of the stolen tokens were sent to exchange deposit addresses, while 37.96 million were frozen. The recovery of funds has entered a law enforcement investigation stage.

China State Shipbuilding Corp said on August 28 that its wholly owned subsidiary Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding, together with China Shipbuilding Industry Trading Co., signed a newbuilding contract with COSCO Shipping Asset Management or a designated entity for 12 21,700-TEU LNG dual-fuel container ships. The contract is worth $2.688 billion and the vessels are expected to be delivered between 2028 and 2030, according to Jiemian News.

According to Jin10, BOE Technology reported first-half revenue of 103.132 billion yuan in 2026, up 1.83% year on year, and net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company of 5.248 billion yuan, up 61.62% year on year.

Gold mining stocks are on track for their strongest month on record in August, with the MSCI Inc. global gold miners index up 43% and Bitcoin (BTC) up about 26% over the same stretch. The rally accelerated after the US Treasury said it would double its buyback cap for longer-dated debt to at least $4 billion, reviving the debasement trade, according to BeInCrypto, as investors moved into scarce assets including gold and Bitcoin.

California's AB 2409 has passed both the Assembly and Senate and has been submitted to the governor's office for signature.The bill would prohibit California public officials and government employees from issuing meme coins. From January 1, 2027, it would also prohibit digital asset service providers from offering California residents trading services in meme coins issued or co-issued by federal, state or local public officials.If signed, AB 2409 would become one of the first state-level regulations in the US restricting politicians from issuing meme currency.The Bill Reaches Beyond California Officials to Federal OnesThe provision with the widest reach is the trading restriction rather than the issuance ban.The issuance prohibition applies to California public officials and government employees — a defined and relatively narrow group. The trading provision applies to service providers operating in California and covers meme coins issued by federal, state or local officials anywhere. That means a token issued by an official outside California would still be unavailable to California residents through regulated venues in the state.Compliance falls on exchanges and other digital asset service providers, which would need to screen listings against the issuer's status as a public official. That is a materially different obligation from screening for sanctions or securities status, because it requires tracking who is behind a token rather than what the token is.The Bill Parallels the Clarity Act's Unresolved Ethics ProvisionAB 2409 addresses at the state level the question that has stalled federal crypto market structure legislation.The Clarity Act reached its farthest procedural point in August when Senate Majority Leader John Thune filed a cloture motion — but the bill missed the pre-recess voting window and needs at least 10 Senate Democrats to clear the 60-vote threshold. The primary obstacle has been the bill's government-ethics provision, which restricts senior officials including President Trump from backing crypto projects.A bipartisan revised proposal on that section has sat unanswered at the White House. Democratic negotiators have held firm, and without a response there is no clear path to the Democratic votes the bill requires.California acting independently on the narrower question of official-issued tokens does not resolve the federal impasse, but it establishes a state precedent while the Senate remains stalled. It also demonstrates the pattern that has characterized US crypto policy this year: state legislatures and federal agencies moving through their own channels while Congress does not.The SEC submitted a crypto custody rule proposal to the White House Office of Management and Budget on August 25, advancing Chairman Paul Atkins' modernization agenda through rulemaking rather than statute. Agency rules and state laws do not require 60 Senate votes. The trade-off is durability — both can be reversed more easily than legislation.Practical Effect Would Land in 2027The trading restriction takes effect January 1, 2027, giving service providers roughly 16 months to build compliance processes if the governor signs.The issuance ban on California officials would presumably apply sooner, though the operative date depends on the bill's final text and signature timing. The governor has not yet indicated a position publicly.

COSCO Shipping Ports (1199) Managing Director Wu Yu said first-half port business volume and revenue rose as global port congestion worsened, including congestion in Europe and typhoon-related disruptions in China, according to Ming Pao. He said that despite a complex environment marked by trade protectionism and regional conflicts, global trade and economic activity remained resilient, and the company won recognition from shipping company clients for its operating capability and efficiency.

PayPal shares fell more than 15% in pre-market trading to $52.50 after Advent International and Stripe abandoned their buyout plan. According to Sina Finance, Bloomberg cited anonymous sources as saying the two firms are no longer pursuing the deal. PayPal had risen more than 42% this quarter on expectations that a takeover could be completed. Advent International and Stripe made a buyout offer in July at $60.50 per share, valuing the company at about $53 billion. People familiar with the matter said PayPal viewed the offer as too low. Bloomberg also reported that Advent International and Stripe could reconsider a bid if market conditions change. PayPal had no immediate comment, while Stripe declined to comment on market rumors and Advent International declined to respond.

The Hang Seng Index closed up 0.07% in Hong Kong on Friday while the Hang Seng Tech Index fell 0.33%, according to Bitget market data.Precious metals gained throughout the session. China Silver Group and Summit Resources both closed up more than 7%. On the other side, Zhipu fell over 6% and MINIMAX-W more than 4%.The Split Tracks a Global PatternThe divergence between precious metals strength and AI weakness mirrors what has been visible across markets for several weeks.The metals bid runs through the same sovereign-risk channel that has driven gold above $4,600 — up roughly 15% over the past month and above its 200-day average — as US national debt approached $40 trillion and long-dated yields hit multi-decade highs across the US, Japan, Germany and France simultaneously. BlackRock has cited US fiscal issues as a bullish tailwind for scarce assets, and Ray Dalio said investors should own some Bitcoin as debt risks rise.The AI names falling is the more locally specific move, and it comes in a session where the trade should have been supported. Nvidia's guidance of $108 billion for the third quarter, against $103.9 billion expected, drove a 9% surge that added $442 billion in market value and lifted the Nasdaq 1.3%. MSCI's Asia Pacific index gained half a percent led by SK Hynix and Samsung, and South Korea's Kospi rose nearly 2%.Chinese AI names not participating in that lift points to something separate from the demand story — China's DUV lithography breakthrough reshaped the competitive picture across the region earlier in the summer, and the Wall Street Journal reported this week that Nvidia paused some deals in a financing initiative extending credit support to AI cloud providers.Gold Slipping as Bitcoin HoldsGold itself slipped to $4,587 an ounce on Friday even as the Hong Kong metals equities rallied, a divergence between the commodity and the miners that is common when equity flows lag the underlying.Bitcoin held just under $80,000 after an overnight run to $81,280, up roughly 9% on the week, with spot ETFs absorbing $2.8 billion across eight consecutive sessions. Brent eased below $90 after Iran and Oman agreed terms on administering the Strait of Hormuz, and the 10-year Treasury yield held at 4.67%, seven basis points lower on the week.Fed Chair Kevin Warsh delivers his first Jackson Hole keynote later Friday, three weeks before the September 16 FOMC meeting.

Bitcoin traded just under $80,000 in Asian hours Friday after a nearly 2% gain over 24 hours and an overnight run to $81,280, with traders squaring up before Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's first Jackson Hole keynote.Solana ripped more than 4% to nearly $101 and 20% over seven days. Ether added just over 1% to roughly $2,492, XRP nearly 2% to about $1.43, and BNB more than 1% to nearly $714. Tron gained less than 1% at roughly 34 cents and Dogecoin sat flat near 9 cents. HYPE was the only major in the red, shedding under 1% to about $82.Warsh's First Jackson Hole Keynote Is the First Real Rate SignalJackson Hole is the Kansas City Fed's annual symposium in Wyoming, where the chair's speech has a history of moving markets. Warsh has so far given traders little on where he wants rates, making this the first substantive read before the September 16 FOMC meeting.That reticence is itself part of the setup. MUFG's Derek Halpenny expects Warsh to continue offering limited forward guidance and has warned the long end could face pressure absent credible fiscal consolidation measures. Fidelity's Jurrien Timmer has separately identified reduced Fed transparency as a driver of the term premium surge — less transparency means more uncertainty, and more uncertainty means higher risk premia. A chair who says little may be a bond-market event in its own right.The keynote is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. India time.Spot ETF Inflows Reach $2.8 Billion Across Eight SessionsUS spot products have absorbed $2.8 billion across eight consecutive sessions — the longest inflow streak since April. August flows have cleared $3 billion, making it the strongest month of 2026 with one trading day left.August needs one more session to pass October 2025 as the biggest inflow month since the funds launched. Another day of net buying through the keynote would get it there, and would show the bid holding against a chair who has not ruled out a hike.The comparison matters because October 2025 was the peak of the prior cycle's institutional enthusiasm, with Bitcoin trading just below its $126,000 record. Matching that flow level from $80,000 is a different behavioral signature — buying into a recovery rather than chasing a top.Iran-Oman Hormuz Agreement Pulls Brent Below $90Oil did the heavy lifting on the macro side. Brent eased to just under $90 a barrel and is down more than 5% on the week after Iran and Oman agreed terms on administering the Strait of Hormuz.That removes an energy-driven inflation shock from the table precisely as the Fed decides whether it is finished hiking. The Oman framework is the resolution the market had been pricing as a possibility since mid-August, when Tehran first signalled a separate arrangement conditional on the US lifting its naval blockade. Prior de-escalation signals throughout the conflict were bilateral statements that reversed within days; a third-party administration agreement is structurally different.The context makes the move consequential. Hormuz shipping had fallen to near zero — five vessels on one Saturday and none the following Sunday, against 31 the prior weekend — through a strait that normally carries a fifth of the world's oil. Brent had reached $94 after the 60-day ceasefire lapsed without a deal.The 10-year Treasury yield held at 4.67%, seven basis points lower on the week. The two-year sat at 4.23%, the dollar index hovered just above 99 and gold slipped to $4,587 an ounce.Nvidia's Guidance Adds $442 Billion in Market ValueNvidia's guidance — $96.2 billion in quarterly revenue and a third-quarter forecast above $105 billion — drove a 9% surge that added $442 billion in market value and lifted the Nasdaq 1.3%.The Wall Street Journal reported Nvidia had paused some deals in a new financing initiative that offered credit support to AI cloud providers in exchange for a share of revenue, citing people familiar with the matter. That detail cuts against the demand narrative in a specific way: vendor financing expands the addressable market by enabling purchases that would not otherwise clear, and pausing it suggests either caution about counterparty quality or a decision that the support is no longer needed.For the neocloud cohort — miners that pivoted to AI compute — that financing structure is directly relevant. IREN holds $2.8 billion in contracts across Microsoft, Nvidia, Perplexity and Figure AI.Ethena Leads the Top 100 on a Buyback Governance VoteEthena's ENA led the top 100, up 6% on the day and 45% on the week after a governance vote to route protocol revenue into buybacks and restructure venture unlocks.The weekly picture is broader than the daily one: Ether and XRP are both up close to 11%, Dogecoin 16% and HYPE 12%.The Divergence Between Hike Pricing and Bitcoin's GainFutures price a 35% chance of a rate increase in September and fully price a move by December — a hawkish setup that has not stopped Bitcoin from adding 9% in a week.That divergence is the position risk into the keynote. Bitcoin has rallied through rising hike expectations, which means a hawkish Warsh does not deliver new information so much as confirm what is already priced — but it would remove the ambiguity that has let the rally run.LMAX Group market strategist Joel Kruger sees limited downside from here. "Setbacks should now be limited, with the May high just below $83,000," he said.The Bitfinex analyst team framed the current price action structurally. "We now have a squeeze that has run into a defined population of sellers," the team wrote this week, pointing to spot demand absorbing overhead supply between $77,100 and $80,000.That description matches the Glassnode data. Nearly 8% of Bitcoin's supply was acquired between $80,000 and $82,000, the largest concentration at any comparable range, with roughly 5% at $80,000 alone. The average cost basis of US spot ETF deposits sits in the same band, and the 50-week moving average is at $81,081 — where Bitcoin was rejected earlier in the week at an $81,265 high.Absorbing that supply requires sustained spot demand rather than short covering, which is why the ETF streak matters more here than any single technical level.
