Odaily News, Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor said at the company's Q2 earnings call that while the company has previously allocated nearly "100% of its funds to Bitcoin," it may adopt a combined strategy of holding both cash and BTC going forward. He stated, "Perhaps the best way to buy the most Bitcoin is not to buy the most Bitcoin immediately."TD Cowen and Benchmark both maintained their Buy ratings on Strategy following the Q2 earnings call. The two firms believe that the core goal of the company's current management has shifted toward bringing its STRC preferred stock price back to near par value, thereby restoring its ability to function as a financing tool.TD Cowen analyst Lance Vitanza said the most important takeaway from the call was management's strong focus on STRC. Company executives repeatedly emphasized that restoring STRC to par value is the core objective, and noted that despite recent price deviations in the security, institutional adoption continues to rise.Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer holds a similar view. He pointed out that Saylor and his team spent most of the 90-minute call focused on the same goal: restoring STRC to the $99–$100 range, making it once again the primary engine for the company to raise capital and purchase Bitcoin.
According to on-chain analyst PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert), the address labeled "Drift Exploiter" has deposited 23,095.1 ETH (approximately $44.4 million) into Tornado Cash for mixing, and additionally transferred 0.85 ETH to Bybit.
on-chain investigator ZachXBT stated that the cross-chain bridge protocol TeleSwap was suspected of being attacked on July 15, 2026, resulting in losses exceeding $735,000. However, as of five days after the incident, the project team has not yet publicly disclosed the relevant situation.ZachXBT stated that shortly after suspicious fund outflows were detected, TeleSwap's Bitcoin hot wallet stopped processing transactions. About two hours ago, the attacker transferred the stolen funds into the privacy mixing protocol Tornado Cash.
According to The Block, JPMorgan analysts pointed out in the latest report that although recent spot Bitcoin ETF fund inflows have fluctuated significantly, Strategy's increase of USD reserves from $2.55 billion to $3 billion (covering approximately 20 months of preferred stock dividends), as well as Bitcoin futures (including CME futures and perpetual contracts) recording positive fund inflows this week, are both "positive signals" for Bitcoin's prospects. The analysts also noted that leveraged ETF inflows linked to Strategy have remained stable for seven consecutive weeks, mainly driven by retail investors, effectively supporting its stock price. Meanwhile, Strategy President and CEO Phong Le stated that the company is "very confident" in its balance sheet, will only consider debt risk if Bitcoin prices fall to the $8,000 to $10,000 range, and plans to continue issuing additional shares after the STRC preferred stock returns to a $100 par value, with the proceeds potentially used to purchase more Bitcoin.
JPMorgan analysts say Strategy’s recent increase in USD cash reserves, along with positive fund flows in the Bitcoin futures market, are “encouraging signs” for Bitcoin’s outlook, despite recent volatility in spot Bitcoin ETF flows.The report notes that flows into spot Bitcoin ETFs have been unstable in recent weeks, turning negative this week after inflows last week. In contrast, leveraged ETFs linked to Strategy have seen relatively stable and positive flows over the past seven weeks. Analysts attribute this primarily to retail investor buying, which may have supported Strategy’s stock price and prevented its common stock from falling below the net asset value of its Bitcoin holdings.Meanwhile, Strategy recently increased its USD cash reserves from $2.55 billion to $3 billion, enough to cover approximately 20 months of preferred stock dividend payments. JPMorgan had previously suggested that Strategy should raise its cash reserves to cover two to three years of dividends, in order to alleviate market concerns about the company potentially being forced to sell Bitcoin to pay dividends in the future.Analysts say it is still difficult to determine whether Strategy's move to bolster its cash reserves has directly improved Bitcoin investor sentiment. However, the fact that Bitcoin futures still recorded positive fund flows this week, against a backdrop of spot BTC ETF outflows, is also seen as an encouraging signal for the market outlook.
Odaily reports, perpetual contract DEX Ostium stated that platform trading remains paused following a security incident. User positions remain open but cannot be modified for now, and trading margin funds are still held in the frozen trading smart contract without any movement.Ostium stated that its team is continuously coordinating with relevant authorities, SEAL 911, and multiple security researchers. Updates regarding the resumption of smart contract activities and the timeline for fund recovery will be released subsequently.According to PeckShield monitoring, approximately 24 million USDC from Ostium's public OLP vault was stolen. The attacker subsequently swapped these funds for approximately 12,100 ETH, of which about 10,500 ETH was transferred to Tornado Cash.
According to monitoring by on-chain analyst PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert), the public OLP vault of decentralized perpetual contract protocol Ostium (@Ostium) was attacked, with approximately 24 million USDC stolen. The attacker subsequently swapped the stolen funds for 12,080 ETH and has transferred 10,540 ETH into the mixer Tornado Cash to obscure the fund flow. On-chain tracing shows that the attacker's initial funds originated from ChangeNow and Bybit, with 1 ETH transferred from each to the attacker's wallet (0x321D...8bfD9).
Odaily Odaily Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas posted on X, stating that he originally planned to examine how much cash leveraged ETFs have consumed since their launch and compare it to the $750 billion in losses caused by the poor performance of active mutual funds. However, after calculations, he found that these products have actually generated $66 billion in cash for the traders using them. Many leveraged ETFs, such as TQQQ, have risen by 38,000% but still experienced capital outflows, indicating that traders are taking profits. These figures already account for volatility drag and include -2x funds.
: According to monitoring by on-chain analyst Yu Jin, the hacker (0x18B...E66) who stole funds from a Coinbase user spent 7.378 million DAI early this morning to buy 4,049.7 ETH at a price of $1,822. Meanwhile, the address (0xa13...628) that received ETH from Tornado Cash last November had previously transferred out 4,978 ETH and exchanged them for 16.294 million DAI at a price of $3,273.

According to Lookonchain, the Step Finance attacker, after 5 months of inactivity, sold all 261,933 SOL, worth $21.4 million. The funds were then bridged to Ethereum to purchase 12,128 ETH, which were subsequently deposited into Tornado Cash to launder the money.
decentralized privacy protocol hinkal has released an update on a security incident, confirming that an attacker extracted approximately 797,000 USDC from its Ethereum contract through a series of transactions and exchanged it for about 454 ETH. Of this, roughly 410 ETH was subsequently transferred to Tornado Cash, while the remaining approximately 44.67 ETH was bridged to the Bitcoin network via THORChain. hinkal is currently collaborating with an external security team to trace the flow of funds.hinkal stated that the impact of this security incident is limited to the relevant fund pools on the Ethereum chain, and contracts on other chains remain unaffected. However, all contracts have been temporarily suspended for fixes and security verification. All affected users will be fully compensated at a 1:1 ratio, with specific compensation procedures and timelines to be announced in a subsequent update.

Subsequently, this address deposited 8,340 ETH into Tornado Cash and bridged 2.64 ETH (approximately $4,630) from Ethereum to a Bitcoin address.
According to on-chain security firm CertiK (@CertiKAlert), the Gravity Bridge attacker recently deposited another 1,180 ETH (approximately $2.06 million) into Tornado Cash. Earlier, on May 30, the attacker exploited the permissionless deployERC20() function by forging the Osmosis token string, tampering with the token registry, and mapping fake balances to real custodial assets—thereby stealing approximately 2,600 ETH (around $5.4 million) from Gravity Bridge. To date, 2,020 ETH of the stolen funds have been transferred to Tornado Cash via two externally owned accounts (EOAs); the remainder has been dispersed across centralized exchanges, making fund recovery significantly challenging.
Block's Cash App is gradually rolling out stablecoin payment functionality to its nearly 60 million users. According to sources familiar with the matter, the feature currently covers approximately 25% of users and is expected to reach full 100% availability within this week.The core functionality supports users in depositing and withdrawing via USDC, allowing free transfers of funds between external wallets and Cash App balances, and using stablecoins as a settlement tool for payments rather than as investment products. It currently supports transactions across four blockchain networks, including Solana, Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum. Due to the irreversible nature of on-chain transactions, incorrect addresses or unsupported network transfers may result in permanent loss of funds.Block CEO Jack Dorsey previously stated that despite his longstanding preference for Bitcoin, user demand for stablecoins has prompted the company to adjust its strategy.
