Why does the market quote differ for the same company?

Recently, $Paragon and $TradeXYZ both launched Yushu Technology perpetual contracts on Hyperliquid, but their quotes are inconsistent—at times the price spread is even quite noticeable. This is because the HIP-3 Auction auction is not granting an exclusive listing right; it’s an independent deployment qualification that allows multiple markets to coexist.

The mechanism was designed to prevent platform monopolies. However, markets with deep order books are often more appealing, and capital may eventually flow to the leading market, resulting in a winner-takes-all dynamic. Previously, $Ventuals gradually withdrew, and $TradeXYZ once held more than 90% of the market share. Now, with $Paragon acting as a follow-up challenger, it is fighting to take control of the market.

Do you think this mechanism can truly break monopolies, or will it further increase market concentration?

Do you know what new benefits Binance has introduced for $MarsCoin users?

Recently, Binance, to address the issues $MarsCoin faced in its reward mechanism, has specially launched a set of CEX spot-holding snapshots and a token distribution mechanism. Previously, MarsCoin’s reward system prevented users from manually claiming SPCXB rewards due to a treasury address issue. Now, this problem has finally been resolved.

Under the new rules, Binance will take random snapshots of each day’s MarsCoin holdings in Alpha accounts, and determine eligibility based on the user’s monthly average holdings. Users must have an average monthly holding of at least 10,000 MarsCoin to participate in the allocation. At the beginning of each month, users who meet the criteria will receive the $SPCXB reward from the previous month, which is directly distributed into their Binance spot accounts.

This mechanism not only maintains MarsCoin’s on-chain dividends, but also perfectly integrates it into Binance’s internal account system. The more active the trading, the larger the reward pool becomes, and the stronger the incentive to hold grows—this might become a new motivation for MarsCoin users.

Do you think this mechanism will have an impact on the reward systems of other cryptocurrencies?

Cloudflare Wallets Launch, Impersonation Snatching Starts the Same Day

Cloudflare @Cloudflare has officially launched Wallets, a programmable wallet built specifically for AI agents—putting identity, payments, and deployment into a single layer of infrastructure. Each account can claim a unique https://t.co/TPH05ZoggJ handle, effectively giving an AI agent a domain-based “bank card.”

One missing piece in commercializing AI agents: agents can think and execute, but they have long lacked a native identity for receiving and making payments. By having a CDN giant take over this bottleneck, the payment entry point sits directly within the network infrastructure layer—so the project team doesn’t even need to deploy its own wallet.

But the risks surfaced on day one. It’s first-come, first-served for handles, and already a well-known developer has failed to secure their own ID and was forced to publicly state that all actions taken by that wallet are not related to them. A domain-style wallet address naturally signals identity—so what the snatcher gets is essentially a ready-made impersonation business card.

For users, the most practical move right now is to confirm your Handle ownership as soon as possible. If you’re late, your name might end up collecting payments for someone else.

Is the U.S. stock market’s 23-hour trading countdown on? Nasdaq will officially launch 23-hour trading on December 6

In its latest published “Global Trading Hours FAQ,” Nasdaq has, for the first time, clearly set the target go-live date for 23-hour U.S. stock trading as December 6, 2026. The security information processing system (SIP) and related supporting SEC rule changes are being finalized. Asian and European investors will be able to trade U.S. stocks directly during local daytime for the first time, without having to stay up late every night.

Under the plan, Nasdaq will add an overnight trading session from 9:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. the next day, on top of the existing trading hours of 4:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The market will pause for one hour every night from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. for clearing, data processing, and the trading-day rollover. Trades completed between 9:00 p.m. and midnight will be counted toward the next trading day.

However, there are special characteristics to overnight trading. Nasdaq has clearly stated that during the overnight session it will not support market orders without price, opening orders, closing orders, and certain linked orders. Orders that have not been executed by 4:00 a.m. will also be canceled. Overnight trading may also face issues such as thinner liquidity, wider bid-ask spreads, and increased price volatility.

FWA opens external purchases; an economic model update sparks community doubts

Fake World Assets @token_works announced the end of its two-week initial launch phase and will open external purchases of $FWA at 3:00 PM (ET) on August 4. Previously, the token was mainly acquired by participating in the protocol, and external users could not buy directly on the market.

To sustain the token’s long-term value, FWA has adjusted multiple economic rules. In the future, of the protocol fees originally going to TokenWorks, 50% will be used to repurchase $FWA. The repurchased tokens will be allocated as follows: 70% to purchasers, 10% to depositors, and 20% permanently burned. The additional fee charged per purchase will also drop from 5% to 2.5%.

At first, FWA believed these restrictions would prioritize buyers and depositors who truly use the protocol, preventing early speculative capital from interfering with prices. However, as trading approaches and the rules are adjusted, community sentiment quickly turned to dissatisfaction. Many early participants worry they will bear the opportunity cost of funds and asset risks upfront, only to end up as the party with the least benefit under the new rules.

The controversy centers on two points. First, repurchases use only fees generated in the future; revenue already accumulated during the initial phase will not be retroactively used for buybacks. Early participants therefore believe the project team already captured most of the benefits during the protocol’s peak period, but is only using future income to improve the token model.

Second, depositors must lock their NFTs and ETH, bearing risks such as capital lock-up, assets being extracted, and exit limitations. Yet, in the repurchase allocations, they can only receive 10%, far less than purchasers’ 70%. Meanwhile, the reduction in fees will further squeeze depositor income, creating a misalignment of incentives among purchasers, depositors, and token holders.

COLDCARD attack losses expand to $110 million—has the cold wallet security myth been disproven?

COLDCARD @COLDCARDwallet weak randomness events are still simmering. Galaxy Research monitoring shows that after the previous three rounds of attacks moved about 1,367 BTC and involved 4,585 addresses, on August 3 another suspected fourth wave of concentrated sweeps appeared on-chain. In a short period, roughly 389 additional BTC were moved, involving 462 addresses.

Across four rounds, the total is temporarily about 1,756 BTC. At current prices, this exceeds $110 million, and the number of affected addresses has already surpassed 5,000. Since some of the transactions were still sitting in the mempool at the time, Galaxy directly advised users of single-sig COLDCARD wallets to immediately migrate their funds.

The hackers’ methods are also rapidly upgrading. In the early stage, funds were mainly funneled into a small number of aggregation addresses. Later, they shifted to sweeping multiple victim addresses per batch and creating new receiving addresses for different funds, reducing on-chain linkability. The fourth wave also heavily used the RBF fee-bumping replacement mechanism: by raising miner fees to compete for transaction confirmation priority, the sweep speed at one point reached about 45 times the normal level.

This attack has expanded from the early Mk3 to multiple product lines. Some Mk2, Mk3, Mk4, Mk5, and Q devices have seed material that may suffer from insufficient entropy prior to the release of fixed firmware. Updating the firmware can only ensure that future generated seeds are safer—it cannot fix old mnemonic phrases that have already been generated. Affected users must create an entirely new seed and migrate all assets.

Sushi抢占Robinhood Chain：推出Sushi Launch发行入口

Sushi @SushiSwap has officially launched Sushi Launch, a native issuance platform for Robinhood Chain @RobinhoodCrypto. It looks like it’s just adding a token-issuing tool on the surface, but behind it lies Sushi’s ambition: to capture the asset-issuing entry point at the very top of this RWA network.

Robinhood has previously moved a large amount of US stocks and ETFs on-chain and rolled out the Robinhood Chain, designed around stock Tokens and real-world assets. But putting assets on-chain is only the first step—an actually active RWA network also needs foundational infrastructure such as issuance, liquidity pools, trading, lending, and derivatives.

Instead of directly competing with Uniswap for spot trading, Sushi chooses to enter through the creation of new assets and initial liquidity. Sushi Launch allows project teams to create new tokens and select stock Tokens or other RWA assets on Robinhood Chain as trading pairs. After the new token is issued, the platform simultaneously sets up a Sushi V3 liquidity pool, integrating token issuance, pricing, pool creation, and opening trading into a single workflow.

At the same time, Sushi Launch adds a new revenue stream for Sushi. Creating a token requires a 0.0005 ETH token-issuance fee. The trading pool uses a 1% fee rate, with 70% going to the token creator and 30% to Sushi—meaning Sushi can receive protocol revenue of about 0.3% of trading volume. Additionally, each new token is expected to allocate 3% of its supply to the Sushi protocol treasury reserve and lock it for one year.

Korea’s presidential office “financial criminal” filed for criminal complaint—was he the culprit, or a scapegoat?

When the product was launched, South Korea’s chip stocks were at the peak of the AI rally, and money rushed in quickly. A single-stock leveraged ETF tracks a stock’s daily gains and losses at twice the rate through derivatives. It’s suitable for short-term trading, but it does not mean long-term returns are always twice those of the stock. Because the product rebalances its positions every day, if the stock price continues to fluctuate or suddenly turns downward, losses are rapidly amplified by compounding and leverage

At the beginning of the year, the head of the policy bureau in the presidential office, Kim Yong-beom, publicly proposed that since overseas markets allow such products, South Korea should also establish a domestic framework. Afterwards, the Financial Services Commission sped up revisions to the rules, and the first batch of single-stock leveraged products—centered on Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix—were listed at the end of May. The goal was to draw offshore trading demand back into the country

As chip stocks pulled back from their highs, the market value of related leveraged products shrank dramatically, and Korean retail investors suffered massive losses. Some institutions estimate that the losses of related investors reached tens of billions of dollars. The controversy ultimately turned toward Kim Yong-beom. Conservative former Seoul city council member Lee Jong-bae submitted a criminal complaint to the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office of Korea, accusing Kim Yong-beom of abusing his authority, forcing actions, and obstructing business—arguing that the financial regulators pushed the product to market hastily under his pressure

The double sell-off in gold and Bitcoin is visibly weakening Tether’s safety cushion

Tether @tether relies on USDT’s still-strong profits in the second quarter, but its excess reserves used to absorb market risk have fallen sharply. By the end of Q1 2026, Tether’s excess reserves reached $8.23 billion. By the end of Q2, the portion by which total assets exceed total liabilities had shrunk to just $4.11 billion—down about $4.12 billion over three months, nearly halving

The double decline in gold and Bitcoin is a key reason the safety cushion shrank this quarter. Tether continued to accumulate gold and Bitcoin. At quarter-end, its gold holdings increased to about 146.2 tons, and its Bitcoin holdings reached 98,933 BTC. But during the valuation period covered in the report, the gold price fell by about 15%, and Bitcoin dropped from roughly $68,200 to $58,600. The marked decline in the carrying value of both assets combined weakened reserve value by about $1.8 billion

At present, USDT has not shown signs of becoming insolvent. Tether’s reserve assets are still greater than its token liabilities, and the main holdings remain US short-term Treasuries, repurchase agreements, and other highly liquid assets. However, the risk lies in the $4.11 billion excess safety cushion, which appears substantial—but against liabilities of more than $180 billion, it provides only about 2% of additional buffer. If insolvency were to occur, the consequences would be unimaginable

594 bitcoins moved away within 25 minutes—an issue in @COLDCARDwallet’s weak randomness caused the crisis for hardware wallets. Is a hardware wallet really just an IQ-tax?

A security incident has erupted at Bitcoin cold wallet maker COLDCARD. In a very short time, large amounts of bitcoin from long-dormant addresses were concentrated and drained. About 500 single-sig addresses lost 594 BTC in 25 minutes, worth roughly $38 million. Galaxy Research later expanded its on-chain identification scope, saying that a total of 1,196 addresses were fully emptied, totaling 1,082.65 BTC, worth about $70 million.

The problem traces back to an integration mistake in COLDCARD’s firmware update in 2021 involving a random number generator. The wallet was supposed to call the hardware true random number generator, but the code instead connected to MicroPython’s built-in software pseudo-random number generator, using potentially guessable information such as the chip ID and the system clock as the initial state.

As a result, although the generated set of 24-word seed phrase appears random on the surface, it may actually come from only a very small candidate range. An attacker only needs to batch-compute these candidate seeds, then verify the results using public addresses, and could potentially find the correct private key without ever touching the device. Auditors estimate that the effective search space for Mk3 might be only about 40 bits. Even though later models added entropy from a security chip, they still did not reach the expected 128-bit security level.

Meanwhile, the BIP-39 Passphrase—that is, an additional custom password set outside the mnemonic phrase—became the key for some users to evade the attack. It works together with the mnemonic phrase to generate a completely different wallet. Therefore, even if an attacker cracks the original mnemonic, as long as they don’t know the Passphrase, they still can’t find the bitcoin address that actually holds the assets.

Web3 copycat rumors of a RedBook options dispute? https://t.co/pxZiT1KtGs — embroiled in an employee token ownership dispute

https://t.co/pxZiT1KtGs @Pumpfun expanded rapidly during the meme-coin boom, with the team growing from just a few people to nearly a hundred at one point. To attract and retain employees, the company had granted some members PUMP tokens, but the agreement included a one-year vesting lockup period. Employees had to work for a full year before they could receive the first tranche of 25% of the tokens. After the PUMP price rose, the potential share value held by some employees reached several million US dollars

Then, https://t.co/pxZiT1KtGs terminated a batch of employees’ contracts on the grounds of expanding too quickly and declining team efficiency, but these employees were only about two months away from the first tranche of token ownership. After that, anonymous accounts allegedly revealed that around 40 employees were laid off the day before the tokens were set to unlock. The company’s co-founder was also accused of failing to publicly address the concerns. The outside world began to suspect whether this was an arrangement intended to prevent the high-value solana:pumpCmXqMfrsAkQ5r49WcJnRayYRqmXz6ae8H7H9Dfn from vesting through layoffs

If employees want to seek redress, the real-world avenues are actually quite limited. https://t.co/pxZiT1KtGs The team is distributed across multiple countries and regions. Baton Corporation Ltd, which handles operations, is registered in the UK, but it has not publicly disclosed the arbitration location in the employees’ service agreements and token grant agreements. For employees spread worldwide, determining employment status, cross-border jurisdiction, and high litigation costs could all become obstacles—so incentives worth several million dollars are visible, but they may not truly be recovered, ultimately turning into a Schrodinger’s solana:pumpCmXqMfrsAkQ5r49WcJnRayYRqmXz6ae8H7H9Dfn

Once the AI investment storm figures, now forced to the brink by leverage?

Leopold Aschenbrenner, a former OpenAI researcher, once achieved astonishing 439% returns in the first half of 2026 with his fund, Situational Awareness, thanks to his precise bets on the AI industry chain. Assets under management at one point exceeded $20 billion. However, a market reversal in July caught him off guard. AI infrastructure stocks fell across the board, leaving the fund in a situation where it was hemorrhaging from both ends—short and long.

The fund’s total gross exposure was nearly four times its net assets. This aggressive leverage strategy ultimately led to July losses of as much as 67%. Under pressure from his prime broker, Leopold was forced to wipe out all leverage and sell most of his public equity portfolio to Citadel. According to Axios, all publicly traded stocks have been sold, while Reuters reports that he still retains around $10 billion in assets.

What does this reveal? Can an extreme leverage strategy truly survive for the long term in a highly volatile market?

Can the listing of Unitree Robotics change the rules of the game in the capital markets?

Unitree Robotics, which Musk has praised as impressive, is now moving toward the capital markets. In just a hundred days, the company has completed all the preliminary preparations for an IPO on the STAR Market—an astonishing pace.

Unitree plans to issue 40.44 million shares, aiming to raise RMB 4.2 billion, with most of the funds to be used for R&D of intelligent robots and robot bodies. This shows the company’s emphasis on technological innovation.

The valuation for this listing reaches RMB 42 billion, a significant increase from the valuation of RMB 12.7 billion in June 2025. Unitree’s performance has been growing rapidly: 2025 revenue is expected to increase by 335%, and net profit has also risen sharply.

That said, it’s worth noting that embodied large-scale models have not yet been widely adopted, and the industry is still at an early stage. Whether Unitree can break through in large-scale production and service scenarios will determine its future.

Do you think Unitree can make substantial progress in the robotics field? Feel free to discuss.

Seriously! Can’t even high interest save Ebisu Finance’s fate?

Ebisu Finance has announced it will cease operations. Users need to promptly close Troves, withdraw deposits from the Stability Pool, and pull liquidity from DEXs. The frontend will be taken offline on October 30.

Despite the platform’s promise of up to a 10% yield and its allowance for users to repeatedly borrow and lend, its size has always been its biggest obstacle. The protocol’s TVL is only $53,300, and fees earned over the past 30 days were merely $62—clearly not enough to support its operations.

This inevitably prompts the question: Behind high returns, is there always some unavoidable risk lurking? Can a high-interest strategy really attract enough users?

Fiat 24’s Brutal Growth—but Have Regulations Tripped It Up?

Fiat 24 has announced it is pausing cryptocurrency deposits and stopping new customer account openings. Users can no longer convert crypto assets such as $USDC and $USDT into fiat balances. Although core features like international wire transfers and in-app payments remain unaffected, compliance challenges are clearly a weak point.

With Fiat 24’s user base and transaction volume surging, it has already outgrown its risk controls and compliance capabilities—so it has chosen to proactively shut down high-risk crypto deposit channels. This decision affects not only its own users, but also wallets like Bitget Wallet that partner with it, whose co-branded card features are limited due to an upstream service suspension.

This kind of tightening over compliance is not an isolated case; it reflects the institutional challenges the crypto industry faces during rapid expansion. Is Fiat 24’s approach proactive risk management, or overly cautious?

Trade xyz paid out compensation! The liquidation event involving SK Hynix made the market hold its breath.

On July 28, SK Hynix’s perpetual contract price suddenly dropped from $1,127.9 to $917.25, evaporating nearly 19% in an instant. This isn’t a small matter: long positions across nearly 960 accounts were liquidated, with losses totaling $57.4 million.

What’s surprising is that Trade xyz decided to make a one-time discretionary payout, even though the oracle was operating normally. Behind this, it’s clear there are considerations to maintain market confidence—after all, the relevant contracts’ open positions once exceeded $200 million. This also raises an important question: in the future, will the platform compensate for similar events?

How much do you think this payout will help market confidence? Feel free to comment and discuss.

Wow! Competition in the RWA sector is getting fiercer, and the new platform launched by Ondo Network could become a major game-changer.

What’s innovative about Ondo Network is its verifiable execution network: high-frequency operations such as matching and risk control are handled off-chain, while asset transfers and settlement are carried out on-chain. Its first product, Ondo Perps, aims to deliver an experience close to that of a centralized exchange in a non-custodial setup, using isolated hardware and multiple validators to ensure the trustworthiness of trades.

As RWA continues to develop, tokenized stocks, treasury bonds, and fund products are increasing. But merely issuing assets is no longer enough to build a competitive advantage—factors such as trading speed and privacy protection are becoming key focal points. Ondo’s new move may be precisely aimed at seizing the edge in these areas.

Will this kind of innovation prompt other platforms to follow suit? The market’s reaction is worth looking forward to.
