Du Jun posted on X: "Family offices that I persuaded years ago to allocate BTC and ETH, after experiencing centralized exchange hacks and cold wallet supply chain security incidents, have one after another swapped their BTC for IBIT, and some simply sold their coins to buy physical gold and other traditional assets. I don't even know how to advise them anymore—it seems there's no solution."

The exchange stated it would absorb the loss itself and confirmed that active users' funds remain secure.
Trader Killa posted that in a bull market, traders should seize the opportunity to go long when prices dip within an established range. However, because the market previously went through a bear market full of fake breakouts, many traders still habitually view every rebound as a bull trap. Bitcoin's trading range and bottom structure have already formed, with the area around $80,000 being a key zone. Although Bitcoin may still pull back again to sweep liquidity, it could ultimately just head higher directly, causing traders who keep waiting for lower prices to miss the move. Traders should follow the market trend rather than stubbornly clinging to a bearish scenario.

Odaily reports: According to on-chain analyst Ember Monitoring, PUMP has dropped 16% over the past 24 hours, and one address may have contributed to today's PUMP decline. Seven hours ago, this address sold 1.264 billion PUMP in a single on-chain transaction in exchange for 5.483 million USDC, at a sale price of $0.0043. Due to selling all at once, the address incurred 5% slippage; had the sale been split into multiple transactions, it was estimated that $5.78 million could have been obtained, whereas the single transaction yielded only $5.483 million — roughly $300K less.
Odaily reports: Bitcoin News posted on X platform that Bloomberg ETF analyst @JSeyff disclosed that although BlackRock executives had begun preparations to launch a Bitcoin ETF, Larry Fink had previously been skeptical about Bitcoin. Due to internal board discussions and events such as the FTX collapse, the project is said to have nearly been halted multiple times; currently, BlackRock operates the world's largest spot Bitcoin ETF.
Odaily News: Canadian Bitcoin exchange and wallet company Bull Bitcoin stated that due to the Liquid Network attack on September 6, users are temporarily unable to redeem L-BTC back to Bitcoin through the platform, and redemption operations are still pending resumption.Bull Bitcoin expects the related redemption service to potentially resume within 30 days, but stated that this expectation is not guaranteed. Due to its reliance on the L-BTC redemption mechanism to balance inventory, the platform has temporarily closed inbound Lightning Network payments.In this attack, the attacker transferred out nearly 4,000 Bitcoin from the protocol, later returning approximately 3,400; currently still holding 598.50 Bitcoin, valued at over $51 million. Liquid Network stated on September 17 that block production, network transactions, and L-BTC transfers have returned to normal. (Bitcoin.com News)

According to Ember tracking, whale address 0x0392a opened a long position of 32,000 ETH at an average price of $2,487 two days ago, valued at approximately $80 million. Earlier today, it further increased its position by adding 13,000 ETH, bringing its total long exposure to 45,000 ETH (approximately $109 million) at an average entry price of $2,486. Due to the market pullback, this position currently holds unrealized losses of about $3.35 million, with a liquidation price of $2,251.
Odaily News, SlowMist Security Team disclosed that the cross-chain bridge project Allbridge suffered an attack on August 19, 2026, with losses of approximately $190,000. Notably, this attack was not executed instantaneously—the attacker began laying the groundwork nearly a month in advance, bypassing the verification mechanism through forged cross-chain messages.According to SlowMist's analysis, on July 26, the attacker directly called Circle's MessageTransmitterV2.sendMessage function on the Polygon chain, constructing a cross-chain message disguised as CCTP-style, claiming a transfer of 1 million USDC, despite no actual USDC burn operation occurring. Subsequently, Circle generated a valid attestation for this complete message following standard procedures.Approximately 24 days later, on August 19, the attacker waited for the Base Router to receive a genuine CCTP deposit, bringing its balance to approximately 191,000 USDC, then launched the attack just 6 seconds later. Using the previously forged message and attestation, the attacker called Allbridge's receiveCctpMessage function. Due to the project's lack of critical validation, the system mistook the fraudulent cross-chain message for a genuine deposit and recorded a 1 million USDC credit.Subsequently, the attacker borrowed approximately 809,000 USDC temporarily via an Aave flash loan to match the Router's balance with the forged amount, then utilized the internal credit record to call the transfer function, ultimately moving out approximately 999,000 USDC (after deducting a 0.1% fee). After repaying the flash loan and fees, the attacker netted approximately $189,800 in profit. The root cause of this vulnerability lies in Allbridge's failure to verify the identity of the cross-chain message sender and receiver, as well as its failure to confirm whether USDC was genuinely minted or whether the balance actually increased—instead directly trusting the amount and message hash data constructed by the attacker.SlowMist emphasized that on-chain message verification does not equate to actual asset arrival. Cross-chain protocols must not only verify message authenticity but also ensure the message source is trustworthy, confirm the receiver is Circle's official TokenMessengerV2, and only record assets after confirming actual minting and balance changes. This incident once again highlights the security risks in cross-chain bridges' message verification and asset settlement processes.
Odaily News - CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated on the X platform that the altcoin market has recently shown clear signs of recovery, with market structure undergoing changes, and "Altseason" may have entered its early stages. Data shows that from August 19 to 22, the total market cap of altcoins increased by approximately $215 billion, surging over 24% in just 3 days, pushing the total altcoin market cap back above $1 trillion.Darkfost pointed out that mid- and small-cap altcoins have performed the strongest in this rally. Due to their lower circulating market caps, these assets are more sensitive to capital inflows, while also carrying higher two-way volatility risks.Data from the Binance platform further reinforces the signals of an altcoin market recovery. Since last November, approximately 80% to 85% of altcoins have remained below the 200-day moving average (200-DMA), but currently 56% of Binance-listed altcoins have climbed back above this key technical indicator, suggesting the market may be entering a new cyclical phase.Darkfost believes this trend reversal is linked to a series of positive cryptocurrency signals recently released by Trump. On August 19, Trump stated that the U.S. would "massively purchase Bitcoin" and urged Congress to push through the CLARITY Act, while claiming his administration had ended previous unfriendly policies toward the crypto industry. These remarks boosted market sentiment, and against a backdrop of low trading volume and reduced selling pressure, substantial capital began flowing into the altcoin market, driving gains across multiple sectors simultaneously.Darkfost noted that from a historical perspective, the current broad-based altcoin rally is typically viewed as an important signal of the early stage of altseason. However, he also cautioned that the market has entered overbought territory in the short term, and investors should be wary of periodic pullbacks. If the overall upward momentum continues, new investment opportunities may still emerge down the road.
Odaily News: Peer-to-peer cryptocurrency trading platform NoOnes announced that it will begin gradually winding down operations after running for over three years. The company stated that it had been continuously seeking to resolve and lift the sanctions imposed on NoOnes, but ultimately failed. The sanctions caused the platform to lose key partners, and blockchain monitoring firms also flagged transactions associated with NoOnes as high-risk, making it increasingly difficult for the platform to continue normal operations. According to the plan, the business contraction began on August 17, and the P2P marketplace will close at 23:59 UTC on August 21. Services such as Swap, NoOnes Visa, fiat withdrawals, the gift card store, and the Bitcoin Lightning Network will also be discontinued progressively. After that, the platform will only support withdrawals, and users will still be able to log in, view balances, and withdraw remaining assets. The company advises users to complete asset withdrawals as soon as possible, no later than August 23. Previously, on January 26, 2025, NoOnes revealed that the platform had suffered a major security breach earlier that month, resulting in losses of approximately $8 million in crypto assets. CEO Ray Youssef confirmed the news after on-chain detective ZachXBT disclosed the hacking incident on his Telegram channel.
Bitcoin analyst Plan B stated on the X platform that the core of Bitcoin's long-term value lies in scarcity, not short-term price fluctuations.Plan B believes that many people focus on Bitcoin's price charts, while the S2F model he uses focuses on the degree of asset scarcity. This model measures scarcity through "existing supply ÷ annual new production," where the S2F for gold is approximately 60. Due to Bitcoin's fixed total supply of 21 million coins and its predictable issuance schedule, its S2F is currently around 120 and continues to rise over time.The Bitcoin halving mechanism is an important driver of the S2F model. Approximately every four years, the Bitcoin network reduces the block reward by half, decreasing new supply and roughly doubling the S2F level, making it the core supply-side event observed by the model.Plan B emphasized that the S2F and its upgraded version, the S2FX model, predict long-term average value rather than precisely forecasting market tops or bottoms. Bitcoin's price typically fluctuates around the model's estimated value, and investors should focus on multi-year cycle averages rather than single-day price highs. Additionally, Plan B believes that as scarcity increases, Bitcoin is undergoing different stages of development, including proof of concept, payment network, "digital gold"/store of value asset, and institutional-grade financial asset. Each increase in scarcity could bring new market narratives and capital inflows.However, Plan B also reiterated that "all models are wrong, but some are useful." He stated that the S2F model is merely a tool for long-term understanding of Bitcoin's scarcity, not a trading signal or a "crystal ball" for price prediction. Although the model has withstood major events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and China's mining ban, it still has limitations.
Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas says the Coldcard security vulnerability enhances the appeal of spot Bitcoin ETFs, with the incident involving approximately $88.6 million in losses.
According to Korean media Daum, volatility in the South Korean stock market has recently intensified, investor risk appetite has clearly cooled, and funds are flowing back from the stock market to safe-haven assets such as banks. Due to adjustments in the semiconductor sector and stricter regulation on leveraged investment, idle funds in the South Korean stock market are withdrawing rapidly, and the market is exhibiting a phenomenon of "reverse capital migration". Data shows that as of the end of July, the time deposit balance at South Korea's five major banks (KB Kookmin, Shinhan, Hana, Woori, NH Nonghyup) reached 973.49 trillion won, an increase of 24.09 trillion won from the end of the previous month, marking the largest single-month increase this year. Funds related to the stock market also showed significant contraction. According to data from the Korea Financial Investment Association, investor securities account deposits (idle funds for stock trading) reached a historical high of 139.69 trillion won on June 4, but as of July 28, had fallen to 107.20 trillion won, a decrease of over 32 trillion won in less than two months. The balance of credit transaction financing, representing the scale of market margin trading, fell to 33.19 trillion won during the same period, a decrease of about 4.5 trillion won from the peak of 37.72 trillion won set on July 2, a decline of approximately 12%.
