Bernstein: Meta's Ad Revenue Could Surpass Google Search in Q4, E-Commerce Emerges as AI Advertising Winner
According to Chaoxiang Research, a Bernstein report dated August 31, 2026, notes that Meta is poised to surpass Google Search for the first time in Q4 2026, becoming the world’s largest single ad platform. By mid-2024, market expectations for 2026 Google Search ad revenue growth were just 8%, but have since been revised upward to 16%, while Meta’s have increased from 12% to 26%. Year-over-year growth for the digital advertising basket in H1 2026 hit 21%, far exceeding the 6% recorded in 2022. AI is driving simultaneous growth in both ad pricing and impression volumes, a rare combination achieved by both Meta and Google Search. Yet, digital advertising equities have underperformed across the board this year, whereas e-commerce stocks have significantly outperformed. E-commerce firms have reaped the same AI-driven advertising tailwinds but at a fraction of the cost, sidestepping the massive AI capital expenditure burden and associated valuation discounts. Bernstein has assigned an Overweight rating to Meta, Pinterest, and Amazon, with respective target prices of $800, $28, and $320. Key risks include whether AI investments can sustain growth momentum and potential deceleration in the advertising market.
Analyst Willy Woo: Bitcoin Holding Rate May Become the Key Threshold for the "Separation of Currency and the State"
According to on-chain analyst Willy Woo (@willywoo), approximately 5% of the global population currently holds BTC, surpassing the 4.5% who hold gold and the 4% who hold the S&P 500. Woo noted that if BTC adoption remains at 5%, it is merely a conventional financial asset; however, if it rises to 50%, it could enable a separation between currency and the state.
Goldman Sachs: Crypto Trading Has Fallen for Ten Consecutive Months, Turning Point May Be Approaching
According to Chaoxiang Research, Goldman Sachs' research report dated August 24, 2026, indicates that cryptocurrency trading volume fell 30% in July and 21% in August, declining for 10 consecutive months, a duration that exceeded the median of the previous five cycles. Trading volume in this cycle has dropped 75% from its peak, while cryptocurrency market capitalization rebounded 21% over the past week. Goldman Sachs suggests a turning point in trading volume may emerge if market cap remains at current levels. On the regulatory front, 35% of institutional investors cite regulatory uncertainty as the biggest hurdle, while 32% identify regulatory clarity as the primary catalyst. The SEC recently proposed an innovation exemption framework. In 2026, over 10 additional digital asset companies received bank charters from the OCC, and more than 15 crypto firms have already been incorporated into the federal banking system. Crypto companies reduced expenses by an average of approximately 5% in 2026, lifting operating margins by roughly 5.8 percentage points. Goldman Sachs remains cautiously optimistic for the second half of the year, with sector valuations currently positioned at the 30th percentile over a five-year period. Key recommendations include COIN (target price $196), HOOD ($124), IBKR ($114, featured on Goldman Sachs' Conviction List US), and FIGR ($43). The investment logic diverges across the three sectors: traditional brokerages are poised for a September reversal, prediction markets are driven by the election cycle, and crypto equities benefit from a triple catalyst of market cap recovery, cost reductions, and regulatory reform.
Goldman Sachs: Q2 Earnings Up 135%, APAC Market Still Has 21% Upside Potential
According to Trend Research, Goldman Sachs' August 21, 2026 research report notes that the MSCI Asia Pacific ex Japan Index (MXAPJ) posted Q2 net profit growth of 135% year-over-year and 52% quarter-over-quarter, with 46% of companies beating expectations and a median surprise of 4.3%. The information technology sector led the gains, with earnings up 390% YoY. The current MXAPJ forward P/E ratio stands at 11x, two standard deviations below its 10-year average, placing it in a deeply discounted range. Goldman Sachs has set a 12-month target price of 1,080 points, implying a 21% upside from the current level of 891 points, with an expected total return including dividends of approximately 24%. Goldman Sachs believes earnings resilience will drive valuation repair, recommending overweight positions in capital goods, healthcare, energy, tech hardware and semiconductors, and insurance, while suggesting underweights in autos, software & services, internet, utilities, and metals & mining. Key trading recommendations include going long on portfolios that outperform earnings revisions (launched in July 2021, with a cumulative return of 334%) and going long on AI infrastructure hardware and semiconductors (launched in June 2023, with a cumulative return of 63%). MSCI will adjust its index benchmarks on August 31, triggering approximately $42 billion in two-way capital flows across Asian markets, which could amplify volatility toward the end of the month. Downside risks to monitor include rising long-end US Treasury yields, escalating geopolitical tensions, and the pace of China’s economic recovery.
HTX DeepThink: Beyond Policy Rates, Long-End Yields Are Becoming a Key Constraint on Crypto Valuation
HTX DeepThink columnist and HTX Research analyst Chloe (@ChloeTalk1) pointed out in her analysis that the core contradiction in the current macro market has shifted from "when the Fed will cut rates" to "whether the Fed needs to raise rates again." Warsh attempted to reduce the impact of single-month data on policy, but since his policy framework has not been fully understood by the market, July and August inflation data have instead become the key variables determining September policy expectations. If core CPI remains at 0.2% or below, the market will re-trade inflation decline and policy pause; if it consecutively exceeds expectations, the Fed will face a binary choice of "raise rates or lose credibility."
Bernstein Issues Divergent Ratings on Bitcoin Miners' AI Transition: Positive on CleanSpark's Execution, MARA Awaiting Key Contract
Odaily News - Investment firm Bernstein recently released a report assigning different ratings to two major Bitcoin miners transitioning to AI infrastructure: maintaining an "Outperform" rating on CleanSpark with a price target of $24, and initiating coverage on MARA Holdings with a "Market-Perform" rating and a price target of $17.Bernstein analysts stated that the core reason for the valuation divergence between the two companies lies in their differing progress in executing AI infrastructure transitions. CleanSpark has already signed an anchor tenant agreement for an AI data center and commenced construction, while MARA is still awaiting its first commercial AI contract.Regarding CleanSpark, the company previously announced the signing of a 20-year triple-net lease agreement with a global high-investment-grade technology firm, covering 175MW of IT capacity at its Sandersville, Georgia project. The agreement also includes exclusive cooperation arrangements for CleanSpark's total 885MW asset portfolio in Texas. Bernstein believes that CleanSpark's collaboration with tenant-designated engineering and construction contractors helps mitigate risks associated with its first large-scale AI infrastructure deployment. The first data center hall is expected to become operational in the fourth quarter of 2027.In contrast, Bernstein's assessment of MARA is more cautious. Analysts pointed out that the first commercial AI contract will serve as a key catalyst for a re-rating of MARA's stock, noting that company management previously indicated expectations of signing at least two AI lease agreements by the end of this year.

Jiang Zhuoer: Uncertainty Surrounds Concessions on Key Provisions of U.S. Clarity Act, Prospects for September 16 Procedural Vote Unclear
According to an analysis by Jiangzhuoer (@Jiangzhuoer2), CEO of Litecoin Pool, after Republicans released a new draft of the Clarify Act claiming concessions on 80% of the disputed provisions, Polymarket's passage probability rose accordingly from 14% to 28%. Upon closer inspection, however, the actual concession rate is around 60%, with only partial compromises made on key provisions. Under the ethics clause, the new draft expands restrictions to officials and their spouses but still excludes children and affiliated entities, a move criticized as having limited practical impact; regarding the enforcement clause, while it allows state attorneys general to sue exchanges for listing non-compliant tokens, it explicitly bars suing the Department of Justice for regulatory inaction or the President directly. Jiangzhuoer believes that Democrats lack any incentive to "hand Trump a gift" ahead of the midterm elections, making it unlikely they would endorse this "fake compromise." Consequently, the prospect of the procedural vote passing at 2:15 AM Beijing Time on September 16 is slim, and a failed vote on the Clarify Act could mark the beginning of a correction in the current BTC uptrend.
Trump Meets with Advisers to Discuss CLARITY Act Ethics Provisions, Next Tuesday's Procedural Vote Becomes Key Milestone
Odaily Report: Two people familiar with the matter revealed that U.S. President Trump met with advisers to discuss a government ethics provision being considered for inclusion in the Crypto Market Structure Act (the CLARITY Act). The meeting took place ahead of the Senate's procedural vote next Tuesday, which will determine the fate of the CLARITY Act's advancement. Senate Democrats are demanding that the legislation include ethics language applicable to government officials to limit Trump's ability to profit from his family's crypto business. It remains unclear what the outcome of the meeting was or which advisers attended. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Saturday evening.The ethics provision has been one of the key obstacles facing the CLARITY Act in the Senate, following clear bipartisan disagreements over whether enforcement authority should rest with the Department of Justice or state attorneys general. Next Tuesday's procedural vote will test whether the two parties can reach a compromise on this core dispute before the Senate recesses. (politicopro)

Sparrow Wallet Releases Version 2.5.4, AI-Assisted Code Review Fixes Multiple Security Vulnerabilities
According to Decrypt, privacy-focused Bitcoin wallet Sparrow Wallet released version 2.5.4 on August 28. Developer Craig Raw stated that the update was driven by an AI-assisted code review, with the majority of fixes originating from it. This review was prompted by the recent seed generation code vulnerability exploit affecting Coldcard, as well as the release of unrestricted AI models in China, which has significantly enhanced vulnerability scanning capabilities across large codebases. Key updates include: validating the authenticity of transactions returned by Electrum servers, enforcing stricter BitBox02 hardware wallet security requirements (firmware v9.4.0 or higher required), patching local DNS leaks, and masking sensitive credentials in debug logs. Raw noted that there are no indications of any exploits being leveraged, user funds remain secure, and he still advises all users to update at their earliest convenience.
“1011 Insider Whale” Agent: Bitcoin Holds Key Support at $76.6K, Year-End Outlook Remains Cautiously Optimistic
Odaily News – In the latest weekly report, Garrett Jin, agent for the “1011 Insider Whale,” stated that despite oil prices rising to around $95 this week, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield breaking above 4.8%, and market expectations for a September Fed rate hike climbing to approximately 70%, Bitcoin has held its key support at $76,600 and has since recovered to above $77,000.Garrett noted that the $75,000 to $80,000 range has formed a substantial new cost basis, providing firmer support for the market. If Bitcoin closes above $82,500 on the daily chart and subsequently holds around $80,000 during a pullback, it would signal that the market is absorbing selling pressure and gearing up for further strength. Conversely, if the daily close falls below $76,600—accompanied by weakness in at least two of the following metrics: ETF flows, Coinbase premium, and 7-day net realized profit/loss—it would constitute a clearer downside warning.On the capital front, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of approximately $3.5 billion in August, but September opened with two-way flows, recording net outflows of around $237 million on Tuesday. Garrett believes that Bitcoin holding key support amid heightened macro rate pressures suggests recent spot demand is not entirely driven by short-squeeze dynamics. He maintains a constructive outlook for Bitcoin's performance toward year-end, though he notes that future trajectory will depend on whether U.S. Treasury yields can halt their sustained upward trend.
Analyst Willy Woo: Bitcoin Holding Rate May Become the Key Threshold for the "Separation of Currency and the State"
According to on-chain analyst Willy Woo (@willywoo), approximately 5% of the global population currently holds BTC, surpassing the 4.5% who hold gold and the 4% who hold the S&P 500. Woo noted that if BTC adoption remains at 5%, it is merely a conventional financial asset; however, if it rises to 50%, it could enable a separation between currency and the state.
Glassnode: BTC Rebounds 26% After Short Squeeze, $81,000–$86,000 Becomes Key Supply Resistance Zone
According to Glassnode, Bitcoin has rebounded approximately 26% from its mid-August low, driven primarily by record short liquidations. August 19 marked the largest single-day short liquidation day monitored since 2019, with shorts accounting for 85% of total liquidations within the squeeze window. Over the same period, coin-denominated BTC futures open interest fell by 11%, while perpetual contract funding rates remained largely neutral, indicating that the rally was not accompanied by significant new leveraged long positioning. On the capital flow front, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded cumulative net inflows of $2.23 billion during this window, with no single-day net outflows, marking the strongest consecutive seven-day inflow streak of the year. The 30-day accumulation trend scores for wallets across all size categories remained above 0.5, reflecting broad-based buying coverage throughout the market. However, Glassnode notes that the $81,000–$86,000 zone concentrates the cost basis of long-term holders, sell orders, options market maker negative gamma positioning, and potential short liquidation bands, forming the primary resistance to the current rebound. The report suggests that if BTC holds above $83,300 alongside sustained ETF inflows, it may signal that this supply zone is being absorbed. Downside focus should then shift to the $70,000 short-term holder cost basis, followed by the $62,000–$65,000 support range.
BTC Enters Early Bull Market Phase, $83,000 Remains Key Barrier
According to Cointelegraph, analysts pointed out that Bitcoin (BTC) has entered the early stages of a new bull market, but $83,000 remains a key resistance level for confirming the uptrend.
Analysis: Bitcoin Approaches $80,000 Mark, ETF Inflows and Macro Liquidity Become Key Variables
Odaily News比特币 rose to its highest level since May before the US market opened on Friday, briefly touching $79,400 during trading before hovering around $78,000, just one step away from the key resistance level of $80,000. US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of $606 million on Thursday, the highest level since May 1, boosting market risk appetite.James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, stated that this rally is primarily driven by macroeconomic factors rather than factors within the crypto market itself, noting that Bitcoin remains highly sensitive to changes in liquidity expectations and real yields. Previously, US inflation data came in below expectations, employment data weakened, and the US Treasury announced measures to push down long-term Treasury yields, all of which drove risk assets higher.Butterfill pointed out that $80,000 is an important demarcation line for Bitcoin at present. To form an effective breakout, the market needs further confirmation that the Federal Reserve's monetary policy is shifting toward easing, with related signals potentially released at next week's Jackson Hole symposium.However, he also cautioned that if inflation remains persistently high or the dollar weakens, the Fed may be forced to adopt a more cautious policy. Additionally, the scale of accumulation by large holders remains relatively limited, and the market still lacks strong confidence to support a sustained breakout. Going forward, US spot Bitcoin ETF fund flows and macroeconomic data performance will serve as key indicators for judging the sustainability of the trend. (CoinDesk)
CryptoQuant Analyst: Bitcoin Attempting to Reclaim Active Supply Cost Basis, ~$70,400 Becomes Key Level
Odaily News: CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that Bitcoin (BTC) is currently attempting to reclaim the "Active Supply Cost Basis" level.Darkfost noted that active supply refers to all BTC that has been transferred at least once within the past 7 years. By excluding long-dormant Bitcoin, a more accurate average cost basis that aligns with the current market structure can be obtained, with its Realized Price standing at approximately $70,400.He stated that the last time Bitcoin successfully reclaimed this level was in early April, before the market fell back below this zone again in early June, with sellers reasserting dominance.Darkfost said that if BTC can sustain its position above the active supply cost basis this time, it could signal the market is forming a longer-term uptrend, rather than the brief breakout that lasted only about two months previously.This metric is commonly used by the market to observe changes in long-term holder costs and Bitcoin market cycle status. Whether BTC can firmly hold near the $70,400 level will become a key indicator for future bullish and bearish forces.
White-Hat Hacker Withdraws Approximately 4,000 BTC from Liquid Network; Side Chain Suspends Operations
According to an announcement from the official Liquid Network X account (@Liquid_BTC), a suspected whitehat hacker withdrew approximately 4,000 BTC worth around $320 million from a Liquid Federation wallet using a SideSwap PAK (Peg-out Authorization Key). The official statement indicated that the key itself was not leaked, and the Blockstream team is attempting to contact the party through on-chain signed messages. Following the incident, exchanges have paused or are about to pause LBTC deposit and withdrawal services. Bridge nodes have been temporarily shut down, and the Liquid sidechain is currently suspended, unable to submit new transactions. Officials emphasized that other Liquid assets such as USDT, DePix, and RWA remain unaffected by this incident, while Federation members are actively working to resolve the issue to restore normal network operations as soon as possible.

GoPlus: Realio Platform Signing Key Compromised, Approximately 127.9 Million RIO Tokens Transferred
GoPlus Security released a security alert stating that on August 25, realio[.]fund, a project under Realio Network, was attacked. The attacker took control of the platform's signing system and moved treasury and custody wallet assets across Ethereum, BNB Chain, Algorand, Stellar, and the Realio native chain. A total of approximately 127.9 million RIO tokens worth around $6.2 million were affected, with the attacker having cashed out approximately $317,000 so far.
Bybit Releases H1 2026 Security Report: Intercepts Over $700M in Potential Losses, Achieves 100% On-Chain Monitoring
Odaily News Bybit today released its H1 2026 Risk and Security Report. Following the security incident in February 2025, Bybit has comprehensively upgraded its security architecture, transitioning toward a new defense model characterized by earlier detection, faster response, and continuous adaptation. Key highlights from the report are as follows:User Fund Protection: In H1, over 30,000 suspicious withdrawals were intercepted, protecting nearly 20,000 users from potential losses exceeding $700 million. The average initial review time was just 4.7 minutes (with 95% completed within 10 minutes).100% On-Chain Monitoring: Monitoring covers all business-related on-chain activities (including listed tokens, ecosystem contracts, and hot/cold wallets). In H1, 10 security incidents involving listed token projects were handled with zero platform losses; of these, responses to 8 incidents were faster than other major exchanges, and 2 attacks were detected before the project teams themselves. Additionally, approximately $212 million in potentially fraudulent on-chain funds was identified, and over 10,000 malicious addresses were blacklisted.AI-Driven Security Operations: More than 100,000 security alerts were processed. AI-assisted audits identified critical vulnerabilities at an efficiency 3-5 times that of manual efforts; the automated red team platform reduced the time from asset discovery to initial testing to within 24 hours (compared to weeks with traditional manual methods), and the cycle from security assessment to testing was shortened from two weeks to two hours.Accountability and Asset Recovery: In collaboration with law enforcement agencies and blockchain intelligence firms, stolen assets are being traced, and legal action has been taken against North Korea and the Lazarus Group to hold them accountable and recover funds.David Zong, Head of Risk Control and Security at Bybit Group, stated: "The cybersecurity arms race has entered the era of 'minute-level' response. Leveraging AI to strengthen risk control capabilities and ensuring the security of AI systems themselves is our top priority, but critical security decisions remain centered on human judgment."
Whale "TLBL" Suspected of Private Key Leak, Cumulative Losses Over $50 Million
According to Lookonchain, the whale address "TLBL" has experienced another major asset security incident, with cumulative losses exceeding $50 million. Of this total, the address previously lost approximately $24 million due to a phishing attack two years ago; in the latest incident, it is suspected that over $26 million in assets across 3 wallets were completely transferred out due to a private key leak. This incident has once again sparked market concern regarding security management risks for high-net-worth on-chain addresses.
Sui Co-Founder Leases Factory to Mass-Produce Quantum-Safe Hardware Wallet Cards, Targeting Key Cost Below $10 Per Card
Odaily News: Kostas Chalkias, co-founder and chief cryptographer of Mysten Labs, the development company behind the Sui blockchain, stated that he has leased a dedicated factory at a secret location and plans to scale up production of quantum-safe hardware wallet cards for Sui. The project aims to keep the cost of a single quantum card key under $10, with NFC quantum signing expected to take 1 to 2 seconds. Chalkias noted that the project is being advanced in his personal time outside of work and may include funding to provide cards for users who cannot afford them. The initiative is partly driven by a recent incident involving Coldcard hardware wallets, though the vulnerability was not a quantum attack. Coldcard manufacturer Coinkite disclosed that a firmware vulnerability in Coldcard, traceable to a 2021 update, bypassed the hardware random number chip and generated keys using a predictable software process linked to device serial numbers. Attackers have been moving funds since July 30, with losses climbing to approximately 2,055 BTC, affecting over 7,700 addresses and nearing a value of $130 million. At the protocol level, Sui plans to integrate two quantum-resistant signature schemes approved by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), designed for everyday accounts and high-value Move vaults, respectively. Existing accounts can be rotated to quantum-safe keys based on their original recovery phrases, without needing to migrate to new wallets. (Bitcoin.com News)

Vitalik: Adversarial Governance Mechanism Design May Become a Key Application for AI Safety
Vitalik Buterin stated that the "killer app" for adversarial governance mechanism design theory may ultimately emerge in the field of AI safety. He believes there is a deep correspondence between governance mechanisms and AI safety: both involve how a "weaker principal" obtains an ideal outcome from a "stronger agent." In governance scenarios, the principal is a static algorithm and the agent is human; in AI safety scenarios, the principal consists of humans and weaker large language models, while the agent is a stronger large language model.
