Odaily News: Arthur Hayes posted on the X platform, stating that his article "Situationship" discusses how the AI bubble will burst and why monetary easing will push BTC back into a bull market. He believes that the key variable in determining whether AI is a bubble lies in the internal framework question, namely that investors should distinguish whether AI capital expenditure represents technology or real estate. The current market treats trillion-dollar-scale construction as technology and assigns high-growth valuation multiples. However, he argues that AI capital expenditure is essentially another form of real estate investment, except that the computing power within data centers will create silicon-based life forms, helping human civilization develop in the most profound way since the railroads. Arthur Hayes stated that the distinction between real estate and computing power is important because hedge funds, banks, private credit funds, and ultimately governments are financing data center and power plant construction as if they were lending to Apple, rather than lending to Lehman Brothers. He believes that the bursting of the AI bubble will occur when financial intermediaries, with the tacit support of the Chinese and US governments, overbuild data centers and related infrastructure. Therefore, the AI bubble is a credit story similar to 2008, not a profit story similar to 2000.
Odaily News: Non-custodial Bitcoin swap service Boltz has indefinitely suspended its Bitcoin swap service, stating that the service will remain offline until further notice, with no timeline for restoration provided. Boltz allows users to transfer Bitcoin between the Lightning Network and the Bitcoin base layer, without the company ever holding custody of user funds. Boltz stated that over the past few months, its infrastructure has faced a continuous increase in automated, AI-assisted probing, and the team has already handled multiple exploit incidents. The company said each incident was contained, but the speed at which attackers iterate has outpaced the team's ability to discover and patch vulnerabilities. Boltz disclosed that the pace of attacks has accelerated over the past few days, and after reviewing recent security scan results, the company concluded that it cannot responsibly re-enable the swap service. Its API remains available for processing collaborative refunds, unilateral refunds remain operational as they do not rely on Boltz infrastructure, and customer support remains accessible.
Odaily News: Hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger has stated that the recent Coldcard vulnerability indicates the hardware Bitcoin wallet industry needs to reassess its security model. Ledger CTO Charles Guillemet stated that Ledger devices were not affected, as their recovery phrases are generated by a hardware random number generator built into a certified secure element. Coldcard manufacturer Coinkite disclosed last week that its air-gapped Coldcard Bitcoin hardware wallet contains a vulnerability traceable to firmware versions from March 2021. The vulnerability uses a software fallback mechanism to generate wallet recovery seeds, allowing certain private keys to be guessed, with related losses reaching approximately $130 million. Coinkite released a fixed firmware on Sunday and urged affected users to transfer funds to newly generated wallets. Charles Guillemet stated that open source is different from being audited — the flaw had existed in public code for over five years, and AI is enabling attackers to scan code and identify vulnerabilities at machine speed. Charles Guillemet also said that over the past two years, Ledger has combined AI with security engineers and cryptography experts to review code and identify vulnerabilities. He believes that when evaluating hardware wallets, users should understand how randomness is generated and whether that process has received independent certification.
Bitcoin News posted on X platform that Bitcoin developer Chris Guida stated he has rebased Luke Dashjr's 2017 proof-of-work change code onto the latest version of Bitcoin Knots, as a contingency plan in case miners refuse to signal support for BIP-110. The proposal will serve as a last-resort option to replace the existing mining network if major mining pools are deemed unsupportive of the BIP-110 soft fork. Luke Dashjr stated that he hopes the plan will not be needed, "but it's probably better to prepare in advance, just in case." Supporters such as Mechanic expressed support for preparing the code in advance, noting that the threat of proof-of-work changes helps ensure miners remain accountable to node operators, rather than dominating Bitcoin's rules.
Galaxy Digital Head of Research Alex Thorn stated that based on new victim reports received following the incident, the number of attackers exploiting the Coldcard vulnerability has reached at least 15.Thorn noted that information provided by victims helped the research team uncover previously unidentified attack activity. Unlike thefts from centralized exchanges, correlations between the attackers in this vulnerability exploit require confirmation through on-chain analysis and victim feedback.He added that a single victim reporting less than 1 BTC stolen helped the team discover a previously unknown attack, which siphoned approximately 12 BTC from 126 addresses.According to Galaxy Research's earlier estimates, the Coldcard vulnerability has led to at least three rounds of attacks, with losses amounting to approximately $100 million in BTC. Additionally, Galaxy has identified a suspected fourth round of attacks, which could bring total losses to approximately $130 million.Meanwhile, the incident has also sparked discussions regarding the security of Bitcoin self-custody. Dragonfly Managing Partner Haseeb Qureshi stated that "AI security hardening costing around $2" could potentially have prevented this vulnerability, and noted that some AI models were able to rediscover related vulnerabilities within a relatively short timeframe. However, industry insiders pointed out that current claims about the speed of AI discovering vulnerabilities lack rigorous blind testing and verification.Researchers believe that as AI model capabilities improve, the costs of vulnerability discovery and attacks in the crypto industry may continue to decline, requiring wallet developers to further strengthen code audits and security protections.

Odaily News: Michael Saylor stated on the X platform that at block height 961,022, BIP-110 received 38 signals, accounting for 2.70%, making its 55% voluntary threshold unreachable. At block height 961,632, BIP-110 nodes will reject blocks that do not emit signals. Unless major miners change their stance, Bitcoin will continue to operate normally, while BIP-110 will stall or fork into an insignificant state. Its supporters should stop pushing forward.
Odaily News: Lookonchain posted on the X platform that as of August 4: Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of 1,600 BTC (approximately $102 million) on the day, and a 7-day net inflow of 1,241 BTC (approximately $79.36 million). Ethereum ETFs recorded a net outflow of 6,558 ETH (approximately $12.27 million) on the day, and a 7-day net outflow of 16,300 ETH (approximately $30.44 million).
According to the official announcement from Sequans Communications (NYSE: SQNS), the company released its preliminary financial report for Q2 2026 on August 4 and announced a gradual exit from its Bitcoin treasury strategy. The company continued to orderly reduce its Bitcoin holdings in Q2, holding 314 BTC at the end of the period, with a market value of approximately $18.4 million, a significant reduction from 1,514 BTC at the end of Q1; net gains from Bitcoin sales in Q2 amounted to $5.3 million. Meanwhile, with the full redemption of convertible bonds completed in May, the company officially entered a debt-free status, with cash at the end of the period reaching $20.97 million, nearly double the $10.6 million at the end of Q1.
: Evan Cheng, co-founder of Mysten Labs, the development entity behind Sui, stated that within the next four years, the scale of digital payments carried by Sui will be comparable to the combined scale of traditional internet bank card networks and bank payment rails. Mysten Labs was founded in 2021 by engineers who previously worked on Meta's discontinued Diem blockchain and the Move programming language. Cheng positions Sui as settlement infrastructure for stablecoins, remittances, and agent-to-agent commerce between AI systems. Since June 10, when Mysten Labs removed gas fees for stablecoin transfers at the protocol level, Sui has processed over $65 billion in stablecoin transfers. Since the beginning of 2024, Sui's cumulative stablecoin transaction volume has reached $2.27 trillion. Sui's Hashi testnet went live on July 22, allowing Bitcoin to be used as collateral for decentralized finance loans on Sui without being wrapped as a synthetic token. The bridge was built by Mysten Labs and the Sui Foundation in collaboration with more than 20 participating institutions.
According to the market weekly report released by market maker Wintermute (@wintermute_t), the macro and crypto markets experienced multiple shocks over the past week: On the macro level, the Federal Reserve maintained interest rates unchanged at 3.50-3.75% with a 9-3 vote. Officials Hammack, Kashkari, and Logan rarely voted together to support a 25bp rate hike, marking dissent at the second meeting since Chairman Warsh took office. The 30-year US Treasury yield once touched 5.24%, hitting a new high since July 2007, while the 10-year yielded 4.67%. The yield curve bear-steepened, indicating market doubts about the Federal Reserve's inflation credibility. On the stock market level, AI leveraged fund Situational Awareness (under Leopold Aschenbrenner) encountered margin calls due to leverage as high as 400%. Its size plummeted from $45 billion in early July to about $10 billion, forced to sell all public positions to Citadel at a discount. Long positions in AI infrastructure such as SK Hynix and CoreWeave fell sharply, partially explaining the reason for the continuous decline in chip stocks in July. On the crypto level, BTC fell 2.84% weekly and ETH fell 3.63% weekly, but Wintermute believes major sellers are nearly exhausted, and the painful trade direction has turned upward. ETH has outperformed BTC for two consecutive months,
Odaily News: Hardware wallet manufacturers Trezor and Foundation have warned that following the disclosure of a Coldcard firmware vulnerability, phishing attempts targeting hardware wallet holders have increased, with attackers soliciting recovery phrases and luring victims into downloading malware. Security firm Proofpoint has detected phishing emails impersonating Coldcard, inviting users to complete a "hardware audit" with links to a cloned website. After clicking, users download a batch file hosted on GitHub that installs the remote access tool ScreenConnect. Proofpoint stated that the fraudulent website also features a customer service chat window, where real people guide victims through the installation process. This remote access tool can provide attackers with a pathway to steal data and funds, or further deploy malicious programs such as ransomware. Galaxy Research has confirmed three rounds of theft since July 30, with high-confidence losses of 1,596 BTC, exceeding $100 million; if a fourth round not yet confirmed with victims is included, total losses could reach $130 million.
According to the official announcement, Upbit will list QUID KRW, BTC, and USDT trading pairs.
According to Bitcoin.com, Fireblocks released the 2026 "Financial Grid" survey report, covering over 600 executives. The report shows that 99% of Continental European institutions and 100% of UK institutions expect regulatory policies to support digital asset development. Influenced by the clarity of the MiCA regulatory framework, 53% of European institutions have completed capital commitments before 2026, higher than the global average of 42%; as the UK's regulatory framework is still being formulated, this proportion is only 36%, but an additional 59% of UK institutions plan to complete budget allocations within 2026. In terms of product strategy, European institutions lead in tokenized money market funds (62% vs 45%) and tokenized securities; the UK is more aggressive in stablecoin issuance, with 50% of institutions planning to issue stablecoins independently, higher than Europe's 40%. Both markets list 24/7 settlement and real-time payments as primary application scenarios.
Odaily Planet Daily Report: Bitcoin hardware wallet manufacturer Coinkite disclosed in late July 2026 that a firmware build error introduced in March 2021 caused some Coldcard wallets to generate mnemonics from a smaller range, reducing the randomness of user private keys. Galaxy Research analysts stated that the Coldcard exploit occurred in multiple rounds, with observed Bitcoin losses rising from approximately $88 million to nearly $114 million within days. Researchers warned that other vulnerable addresses could still become targets, prompting many Coldcard users to move their Bitcoin. Coldcard is a Bitcoin-only wallet that supports offline signing via microSD card and optional QR codes. Launched in 2017, it has long been regarded as one of the security-focused Bitcoin hardware wallets.
Odaily News: Bitcoin News posted on X platform, stating that Boltzhq has indefinitely suspended its swap service after reporting an increase in AI-assisted attacks and multiple contained exploits. Due to its non-custodial design, user funds were never at risk, but wallets relying on Boltz for Lightning Network swaps, including AquaBitcoin and BULLBITCOIN, experienced service disruptions while alternative infrastructure is being deployed.

Ethereum ETF single-day net outflow of 3,515 ETH, valued at $6.52 million; 7-day net inflow of 1,573 ETH, valued at $2.92 million.
Odaily News: Bitcoin wallet service provider Nunchuk has issued an important update regarding the recent Coldcard security incident, recommending that users with multisig wallets containing Coldcard-generated keys migrate their funds as soon as possible.Nunchuk has categorized response levels based on the number of affected Coldcard keys in a multisig wallet: if the number of Coldcard-generated keys has reached the signing threshold, attackers could theoretically transfer funds directly, and such users should migrate immediately; if the wallet contains only 1 Coldcard-generated key and it is below the signing threshold, a single compromised key cannot move funds independently, making the risk relatively lower, but migration is still strongly recommended. If users cannot confirm the exact number of Coldcard keys in their wallet, they should treat it as a high-risk situation.Additionally, Nunchuk announced that an upcoming mobile update will automatically enable the Slipstream channel for paid users. At that point, any auxiliary multisig wallet transaction containing at least one Coldcard key will bypass the public mempool and be submitted via Slipstream, reducing the risk of transaction monitoring and replacement. For users who wish to act immediately or for free-tier users, Nunchuk offers a manual migration option: users need to create a migration transaction, complete multisig signing without broadcasting, and then submit the raw transaction data to the Slipstream platform.
According to PR Newswire, AI data center company Hyperscale Data (NYSE: GPUS) announced the successful implementation of a Bitcoin-backed DeFi financing strategy via the Morpho protocol. As of August 2, 2026, the company has completed approximately $30 million in Bitcoin-collateralized borrowing through the protocol, with a current variable interest rate of approximately 4.9%. The raised funds will be used to support the continued construction of its Michigan AI data center campus, as well as general corporate purposes such as daily working capital. The company stated that this move aims to transform its Bitcoin treasury from a passive reserve asset into a source of low-cost growth capital, while retaining exposure to Bitcoin's long-term appreciation and reducing reliance on dilutive equity financing.
According to Cointelegraph, Coinkite, the manufacturer of Coldcard hardware wallets, disclosed that its devices have contained a random number generator (RNG) vulnerability persisting for up to five years since March 2021. The vulnerability stemmed from a firmware upgrade that mistakenly routed wallet seed generation to a less secure MicroPython pseudo-random number generator (PRNG), rather than the originally designed true random number generator (TRNG). Since code reviews only verified the existence of TRNG code without confirming whether it was actually invoked, the vulnerability remained undetected for a long period. To date, over 4,500 addresses have been compromised, with nearly $90 million worth of Bitcoin stolen. Kraken Chief Security Officer Nick Percoco stated that this incident should serve as a "wake-up call" for the hardware wallet industry, calling for the introduction of independent third-party testing mechanisms to mandate verification of whether the entropy sources actually invoked by production firmware are certified. Coinkite has suspended all device shipments and destroyed affected inventory after confirming the vulnerability, and stated it will cooperate with law enforcement agencies across multiple countries to trace the responsible parties.
