BNB Smart Chain project IOTrader completes $3.8 million strategic funding round, led by Animoca Brands and ViaBTC Capital

BNB Smart Chain project IOTrader has announced the completion of a $3.8 million strategic funding round, led by Animoca Brands and ViaBTC Capital, with participation from Everwood Capital, CANDAQ, WAGMI Ventures, Credit Scend, and Web3 Labs. The project primarily focuses on integrating perpetual futures, prediction markets, custom event markets, and AI-assisted trading into a single wallet experience on the BNB Smart Chain.To date, the platform's cumulative trading volume has surpassed $1 billion, and its smart contracts have undergone third-party security audits. Its token whitepaper has been notified to the Central Bank of Ireland under the EU MiCA framework. (businessinsider)

The four major Bitcoin mining pools control over 70% of the hashrate

According to Odaily, as of June 23, 2026, Foundry Digital, AntPool, ViaBTC, and F2Pool collectively control over 70% of the Bitcoin network's hashrate, with shares of approximately 31%, 18%, 13%, and 10% respectively. Foundry Digital is a US-based mining pool backed by Digital Currency Group, primarily serving large institutions and publicly listed mining companies. In the first half of 2026, D-Central reported a Nakamoto coefficient of 3, meaning that just three mining pools would be enough to produce more than half of the blocks. ViaBTC faced stricter regulatory scrutiny in 2026, prompting some miners to shift to alternative pools like EMCD.

Jiang Zhuo'er: Closed BTC shorts, restored full Ethereum spot position.

Jiang Zhuo'er of ViaBTC Pool stated that he previously opened a short position on BTC at $82,050 and has now closed it at $79,480 to take profit. He has since fully restored his spot Ethereum position, awaiting further upside. His trading rationale includes: current market sentiment is positive, with Ethereum rallying to $2,536 early this morning, nearing the previous high of $2,547; Ethereum acts as the engine of this bull cycle rather than a follower, and its leading gains may indicate that Bitcoin will follow. Additionally, spot ETFs continued to see inflows from September 3 to 4, with a record $730 million influx recorded on September 3. Until ETF flows reverse to sustained outflows, only short-term short positions are viable.

Bitcoin's Proposed Soft Fork BIP-54 Completes Specification, F2pool Will Not Support Early Activation

Odaily News: The specification for Bitcoin's proposed soft fork BIP-54 (Consensus Cleanup) was completed in May 2026, aiming to fix four consensus rule boundary issues without adding new Bitcoin features. On August 10, Wang Chun, co-founder of digital asset mining pool F2pool, stated that he does not support BIP-54. He said that if the proposal obtains the required majority through the standard BIP-9 process, F2pool will upgrade its mining nodes, but will not issue a signal of support ahead of time. BIP-54 has been tested in Bitcoin Inquisition, a Signet-based testing environment. Mining pools MARA and ViaBTC have voluntarily produced compatible coinbase transactions; the official activation parameters have not yet been determined, and the mainnet vote has not been completed. Previously, BIP-110, which attempted to restrict certain non-financial data in Bitcoin transactions, failed to gain sufficient miner support and stalled around block height 961,635; BIP-54 does not involve restricting general script functionality.

Foundry USA mined 6 consecutive blocks, Bitcoin block 941,881 chain reorganization completed

Odaily News, March 24 – Antpool mined Bitcoin block 941,881 at UTC time 15:49:35. Foundry USA mined another version of the same height 12 seconds later, briefly creating two competing chains on the Bitcoin blockchain. Subsequently, ViaBTC extended block 941,882 on top of the Antpool version, while Foundry USA also continued to extend its own branch. Foundry USA then mined blocks 941,883 to 941,886 consecutively, giving its branch a cumulative workload lead. Nodes subsequently reorganized to the Foundry USA version, causing the blocks mined by Antpool and ViaBTC to become orphaned. The affected miners lost the corresponding block rewards and fees, and transactions not confirmed on the winning chain re-entered the mempool to be confirmed in subsequent blocks.

Bitcoin BIP-110 Forced Signaling Window Opens in Less Than Two Weeks, Current Support Rate ~2.64%

Odaily Odaily News: The Bitcoin BIP-110 forced signaling window will open at block height 961632, expected around August 9, 2026. As of 8:40 AM (EDT) on July 27, the chain height is 959842, approximately 1790 blocks away from this activation block. The current BIP-110 signaling support rate is around 2.64%. BIP-110, officially named "Reduced Data Temporary Softfork," proposes to limit the size of certain data fields within Bitcoin transactions, targeting Ordinals-like inscriptions, large OP_RETURN payloads, and similar high-data-volume use cases. If activated, the restrictions will take effect at block 965664 and automatically expire after 52,416 blocks (approximately one year). Current signaling support primarily comes from Ocean, independent miners, and small-scale operators. Major mining pools such as Foundry, Antpool, ViaBTC, and F2pool have not yet switched to supporting the proposal. Foundry has requested clients to vote based on their average hashrate; only when “support” votes exceed 51% of the participating weighted hashrate will the pool switch all its blocks to signaling support. If the current signaling level persists until block 961632, nodes enforcing BIP-110 will reject blocks that have not signaled version bit 4 and will instead follow the minority of blocks that do signal. Unupgraded nodes will continue to accept both signaling and non-signaling blocks, and will follow the chain with the most cumulative proof of work.

Bitcoin Hashprice Rises 20.41% in Four Days, Miner Revenue Climbs to $38.29/PH/s

Odaily News: Bitcoin's Hashprice has increased by 20.41% over the past four days, rising from a daily rate of $31.80/PH/s on August 18 to $38.29/PH/s on August 22. Hashprice is used to measure mining revenue corresponding to a specific amount of hashrate, and this increase has boosted miner income.As of August 22, a total of 133 large, medium, and small mining pools, along with individual mining operations, contributed hashrate to the Bitcoin network. Mining pool Foundry USA led with 214.73 EH/s, followed by Antpool with 156.17 EH/s and F2pool with 110.62 EH/s, while ViaBTC recorded 91.02 EH/s.The Bitcoin network's total hashrate has risen to approximately 922 EH/s, approaching 1 ZH/s. In August, miners have so far earned $682.69 million from block subsidies and transaction fees, of which transaction fee revenue accounted for $5.14 million, lower than July's $875 million.On August 22, the average block interval on the Bitcoin network was 10 minutes and 5 seconds, with current data indicating an expected difficulty adjustment of approximately -1% for the day. Based on an electricity cost of $0.10 per kilowatt-hour, the Bitmain Antminer S23 Hydro 3U is projected to yield an estimated daily profit of $17.86. (Bitcoin.com News)
