The Jiangsu Securities Regulatory Bureau issued a risk warning stating that recently, some institutions and individuals have been hyping the concept of Real-World Asset tokenization (RWA), attracting public investment with claims such as "backed by real assets," "principal guaranteed with high returns," and "low risk with stable appreciation." Such behavior may involve illegal criminal activities including illegal fundraising, fraud, and money laundering. Regulatory authorities emphasize that conducting financing activities under the name of RWA within mainland China constitutes illegal financial activity. Investors should enhance their risk awareness, stay away from related illegal financial temptations, and promptly report any suspicious clues to the competent authorities or file a report with the public security organs upon discovery.

Odaily News – While "Vibe Coding" has enabled more people to generate applications using natural language, the next competitive frontier for AI Agents is shifting toward a harder challenge: how to truly accomplish a real-world task that spans multiple platforms and services, involving budgets and authorizations.In X-Agent's latest Medium article, "Beyond Vibe Coding, Toward Agentic Execution," the team uses "booking a trip to Tokyo" as an example to outline its exploration of Agentic Execution. Users would no longer need to switch back and forth between flight, hotel, and payment pages; instead, they would initiate the task with a single request, and the AI would coordinate search, comparison, confirmation, and subsequent execution. Throughout the process, the user retains control over destination, budget, terms, and final authorization.However, the gap between "recommending options" and "delivering reliable execution" still involves a whole set of infrastructure challenges. Price fluctuations, login verifications, order timeouts, and partially successful bookings all require the Agent to preserve task state, distinguish between confirmed and unconfirmed results, and pause to re-request user authorization when needed—rather than blindly retrying or spending automatically.To address this direction, X-Agent proposes decoupling and coordinating four types of capabilities—conversation, task, execution, and events—while exploring different execution pathways such as WebMCP, APIs, MCP tools, browser automation, and Computer Use. The core principle is: tools can help Agents act, but they must not bypass user permissions, budget limits, or result verification.X-Agent notes that the article currently describes a product direction still under exploration and validation, rather than a general-purpose booking capability that has already been launched. The goal is to advance AI from "understanding and generating" toward "completing tasks under user control," gradually making natural language a new gateway connecting real-world services with digital execution.
Odaily News: Gate has officially launched a new one-stop on-chain trading product, "FOMO Hunter," aggregating hot multi-chain assets and Meme trading scenarios. It covers multiple major public chains including Robinhood, SOL, ETH, Gate Layer, BSC, Base, SUI, ARB, World Chain, AVAX, Polygon, LINEA, ZK, OP, and Berachain, supporting hot Memes, promising small-cap tokens, and various other types of on-chain assets.In terms of trading fees, "FOMO Hunter" applies a unified 0.5% buy and sell fee rate. Users trading Robinhood Chain assets through "FOMO Hunter" can also enjoy a limited-time Gas (network fee) waiver. For the trading experience, users can directly trade on-chain using their Gate account assets without needing to create or connect a wallet, or frequently transfer assets or switch networks. They can also query real-time quotes and K-line charts via token names or contract addresses, enabling "search-to-trade." Additionally, "FOMO Hunter" focuses on a Meme social trading ecosystem, supporting features such as Callout leaderboards, KOL leaderboards, and active account displays. Furthermore, leveraging Gate's deep liquidity and high-performance matching engine, it further enhances on-chain trade execution efficiency while reducing wait times and slippage.This launch further lowers the barrier for users to participate in on-chain trading and enriches Gate's Web3 asset trading scenarios. Going forward, Gate will continue to improve its on-chain trading infrastructure and product experience, providing users with more convenient and diversified Web3 trading services.
Odaily Odaily News: After Hyperliquid opened third-party permissionless deployment of the HIP-4 prediction market layer on August 29, platform trading volume grew rapidly. In the first 28 days of August, HIP-4 had an average daily trading volume of approximately $545,000. After the permissionless deployment, daily trading volume rose to $1.97 million on August 31, with trading volume over the past 24 hours reaching $2.75 million. The number of active traders increased from 1,256 to 1,841. Prediction market project Outcome currently accounts for nearly 85% of HIP-4's trading volume, and its $1 million trading incentive program has further driven liquidity growth. Hyperliquid's unified account system allows prediction markets to share the same account environment as perpetual contracts and HIP-3 assets, enabling users to hedge perpetual positions using prediction market contracts. Sports prediction markets could become the primary growth space for HIP-4. Previously, during the World Cup, HIP-4-related markets accumulated a total trading volume of $189.5 million, accounting for approximately 3% of global World Cup prediction market trading volume. The main constraint HIP-4 currently faces is regulatory access, rather than on-chain deployment. The U.S. market falls under regulatory frameworks such as the CFTC and SEC, and sports-related prediction markets in particular may trigger gambling-related regulatory scrutiny.

Odaily News - U.S. President Donald Trump and his family have caused investors at least $4.7 billion in losses through digital asset projects since 2022. Consumer rights advocacy nonprofit Public Citizen stated that the related projects include the World Liberty Financial governance token, NFT trading cards, Official Trump (TRUMP), and Trump Media's digital asset reserve.Among these, TRUMP investors lost approximately $3.2 billion, while USD1 stablecoin investors did not suffer significant losses. Public Citizen noted that the losses from TRUMP primarily reflect a transfer of wealth to a small number of early buyers, rather than funds disappearing outright. Donald Trump also earned $7.2 million from NFT licensing fees and royalties, as well as over $600 million from World Liberty token sales and equity sales.Public Citizen also called for adding ethical standards to the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act), requiring the U.S. President and his family to withdraw from related industry projects. Trump met with crypto company executives last week and called for passing a "fair version" of the bill. The Senate is scheduled to vote on a procedural motion on September 15, and advancing the bill requires support from at least 60 senators. (Cointelegraph)

Odaily News: On August 21, 2026, PeaqOS integrated World ID, allowing robots and machines operating on PeaqOS to natively request and verify World ID proofs via robotic.sh, confirming that the interacting party is a real and unique human—without collecting names, facial information, or other personal data.The system employs zero-knowledge proofs, meaning machines receive cryptographic proof that the user is a real human, rather than identity information. As a coordination layer, PeaqOS connects to World ID through decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and machine markets, recording auditable interaction logs.This solution can be applied in scenarios such as autonomous delivery, shared machines, and pharmaceutical delivery. Users can verify multiple times in the World App and during the delivery process, allowing robots to confirm that the recipient is the same person associated with the order. PeaqOS also plans to extend zero-knowledge verification to more DePIN projects. (Bitcoin.com News)
Odaily News, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev posted on X platform stating that the world is in the early stages of a "tokenization supercycle." The significance of tokenization is not simply moving stocks onto the blockchain, but rather rebuilding the infrastructure for asset ownership, enabling assets to flow as freely as information on the internet.Tenev stated that within just over a month of its launch, Robinhood Chain has completed 100 million transactions. Its Stock Tokens have provided users in over 120 countries with economic exposure to more than 190 U.S. stocks, backed 1:1 by the underlying shares, but are not yet available to U.S. users. He believes that as the regulatory framework gradually matures, we expect token design to continue evolving, including the emergence of tokenized equity that carries the full rights of traditional stocks in the future.At the end of his post, he urged the U.S. regulatory framework to accelerate its adaptation to the tokenized market and stated that listed stocks are just the starting point. Assets with more restricted liquidity and access, such as equity in private companies, could become an important direction in the next phase.
According to CoinDesk, the Trump family-linked crypto project World Liberty Financial stated that it does not own, operate, or control the Hong Kong artificial intelligence platform WorldClaw, which only uses its stablecoin USD1 as a payment channel. WorldClaw provides developers with access to multiple AI models through WorldRouter, supports payments using USD1, and some plans can be accessed by locking WLFI tokens.
According to Cryptopolitan, data from the on-chain data platform DefiLlama shows that as of August 18, the active deposit size of Real World Assets (RWA) in DeFi protocols has reached $3.98 billion, representing an approximately 6-fold increase compared to $651 million a year ago; three years ago, this figure was only $12 million. The current total issuance of tokenized RWA is $34.55 billion, but the actual on-chain utilization rate is only about 11.5%. Of this, private credit accounts for over half of the active total with $2.13 billion, bonds contribute $799 million, and reinsurance contributes $406 million. In contrast, the utilization rate of tokenized treasury bonds is extremely low—BlackRock BUIDL issuance reaches $2.74 billion, but on-chain deployment is only $18 million, with a utilization rate of only 0.66%; Franklin Templeton BENJI utilization rate is zero. Analysis points out that such products are designed specifically for institutional cash management, where holders pursue treasury yields rather than lending capabilities; tokenization only improves settlement efficiency and does not convert them into collateral.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has conditionally approved World Liberty Financial's application for a national trust bank charter, subject to regulatory and policy requirements. Upon approval, the company may operate under the name World Liberty Trust Company, National Association. World Liberty Financial's application documents show that the bank plans to issue USD-backed stablecoins and custody digital assets related to its USD1 token. U.S. President Donald Trump and his three sons are all affiliated with the company, with Trump family entities holding a 38% stake. Senator Elizabeth Warren, along with nine other senators, introduced the Terminating Presidential Banking Corruption Act following the approval. Elizabeth Warren stated that the OCC's move represents one of the most blatant conflicts of interest in the U.S. financial system. In January 2025, an Abu Dhabi investment company backed by UAE National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan purchased a 49% stake in World Liberty for $500 million. Another UAE entity, MGX, previously used USD1 to invest $2 billion in Binance. (Cointelegraph)
Odaily News The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) on Friday granted initial conditional approval to World Liberty Trust Company, National Association, bringing Trump-backed World Liberty Financial one step closer to obtaining a national trust bank charter.In its letter, the OCC stated that World Liberty's charter application met certain regulatory and policy requirements, leading to the initial conditional approval. However, this does not constitute final approval, and the OCC may still rescind the approval.Earlier this year, World Liberty Financial established a new trust company with the aim of applying for a bank charter from the OCC. The company has previously stated that the charter would support its provision of services including stablecoin issuance and redemption, fiat on/off ramps, custody, and exchange. WLF currently issues the stablecoin USD1, which has a market cap of approximately $4 billion, making it the fourth-largest stablecoin after Tether and USDC.WLF CEO Zack Witkoff said on X on Friday that the company aims to build "the world's most trusted and widely used digital dollar" while strengthening the dollar's role in the global economy. Zack Witkoff is the son of Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff. Overall, this approval could further strengthen WLF's position in the U.S. stablecoin and digital asset banking infrastructure, though its political ties may continue to raise regulatory and ethical concerns.
