Odaily News: Zurich-based crypto bank Sygnum Bank has integrated its regulated cryptocurrency services into the Bancastato online banking system, allowing clients in the Swiss canton of Ticino to buy, hold, and sell BTC, ETH, LTC, and SOL via Bancastato's web and mobile platforms without needing to open a separate exchange account. Bancastato has become the first bank to offer cryptocurrency trading through Sygnum's application programming interface within an Avaloq software-as-a-service banking environment. Clients can place market orders based on cryptocurrency quantity or dollar value, with Sygnum handling trade execution while Bancastato retains the client relationship, brand, and front-end experience. Sygnum stated that its B2B platform has provided trading, custody, compliance, and settlement infrastructure to more than 25 banks and international financial institutions, including partners such as Zuger Kantonalbank, Luzerner Kantonalbank, Postfinance, and VZ Vermögenszentrum. Sygnum noted that these collaborations have delivered regulated digital asset services to over one-third of the Swiss population through existing banking relationships.
Odaily News: Crypto KOL Unipcs (also known as "Bonk Guy") stated that Crypto Twitter (CT) and on-chain traders are constantly rotating to chase the hot narratives of each newly launched public chain—essentially, they are continuously seeking new opportunities to lose money.Unipcs noted that two weeks ago, the market concentrated on hyping the Base ecosystem narrative due to Robinhood Chain's performance, but the trend ultimately did not last. Last week, the market began viewing Stable Chain as the next "Robinhood Chain" opportunity, and he had previously warned the community about the related risks.He stated that the highest market-cap Meme coin on Stable Chain has already dropped approximately 90%, and most Meme projects have not generated genuine market attention.Unipcs believes he is not opposed to Tether or Arc Chain—if they focus on their positioning as stablecoin infrastructure, they may still achieve growth. However, forcibly fitting every new chain into the Meme coin narrative is an unreasonable market behavior.He added that many participants do not understand Meme coin culture, which could lead to significant losses for investors' assets. For trading Meme coins, Unipcs recommends focusing on networks with existing ecosystem foundations, such as Robinhood Chain, Solana, and BNB Chain.
Bitwise released its Q3 2026 staking report. Currently, 40.2 million ETH are staked, accounting for 33% of the total supply. New staking this year primarily comes from institutions, including staking ETFs, corporate treasuries, and other large holders, continuing to increase despite price declines. Staking ratios on other networks also remain high: Solana at 68%, Near at 45%, Hyperliquid at 44%, and Avalanche at 41%. Ethereum throughput increased 73% year-over-year, while Avalanche trading volume grew 4x year-over-year. Institutional staking is also expanding to emerging networks.

According to BeInCrypto, the official verified X account of U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis was hacked on July 29. The account briefly posted a fake Solana Meme coin promotion post named $USA Token, featuring a pump.fun minting link. The post was deleted within approximately five minutes, accumulating around 5,600 views and 37 replies during that period. Crypto community users quickly issued warnings, and there are currently no records of financial losses. Lummis's office had not released any statement as of press time. The timing of this incident is sensitive, coinciding with the stalemate of the "Digital Asset Market Transparency Act" (CLARITY Act) championed by Lummis in Congress.

Approximately one month after its launch, Robinhood Chain has surpassed Solana in two metrics: Meme coin trading volume and the number of tokenized stock holders. On-chain data shows that Robinhood Launchpad's weekly trading volume reached $1.23 billion, surpassing Solana's core Meme coin platform PumpSwap's $1.22 billion for the first time; in terms of tokenized stock asset holders, Robinhood Chain leads with 330,000 users, followed closely by Solana with 281,000, while BNB Chain ranks third with 214,000. However, the lead in holder count has not translated into an advantage in asset scale—Robinhood Chain accounts for only about 1% of the over $2 billion tokenized stock market. Additionally, Meme coin hype cooled off towards the end of the month, with the chain's DEX daily trading volume falling from a peak of $900 million to around $500 million. To date, Robinhood Chain has generated cumulative revenue of approximately $3 million. On the stock front, institutional analysts from Bernstein, Goldman Sachs, and others maintain a bullish outlook on HOOD stock, with a target price of $122, representing approximately 31% upside potential from the current price of $92.7.
