Odaily News: According to on-chain detective Specter's monitoring, the victim claimed that due to a Coldcard hack, funds were transferred from Bitcoin to Ethereum. However, on-chain data shows that the 73 BTC ($4.6 million) originally came from the Whirlpool coin mixer two weeks ago, with some of it bridged to Ethereum and subsequently deposited through a phishing Tornado Cash interface. Two coin mixers were used during the fund transfer process. The individual was also found to have appeared in Telegram groups involving private key searches and brute-force attacks. On-chain detective Specter stated that the victim may be a threat actor, and their funds may have been stolen by another threat actor.
According to monitoring by on-chain analyst Ember (@EmberCN), a hacker address associated with Tornado Cash bought 18,273 ETH at an average price of $2,109, spending 38.535 million DAI/USDS over the past 5 hours during today's strong ETH rebound. It is reported that the aforementioned stablecoins originated from 17,124 ETH the hacker received from Tornado Cash 9 months ago, which were all sold at an average price of approximately $3,308 at that time to be held as stablecoins, and were bought back to rebuild positions today taking advantage of the significant ETH rebound.

Odaily News: According to Onchain Lens monitoring, addresses associated with the Solana OG attacker (0xd229...9D15, 0x501...f051) have transferred 2,290 ETH, worth $4.39 million, to Tornado Cash. This operation occurred nearly a month after the $14.2 million attack incident; the same cluster of addresses also used Tornado Cash two weeks ago.
On-chain data shows that the address labeled as the Aztec attacker has deposited another 300 ETH into Tornado Cash, worth approximately $572,000. To date, the address has transferred a total of 500 ETH to Tornado Cash.
According to monitoring by on-chain analyst Ai Yi (@ai_9684xtpa), the hacker address that previously attacked the MEV bot Jaredfromsubway.eth and caused over $7.5 million in losses has shown unusual fund activity again after one month. Approximately 10 hours ago, the address used the remaining 2.44 million DAI to buy 1,277 ETH. Analysis suggests that the relevant funds may next be mixed via Tornado Cash, and this asset may also be the hacker's last pending on-chain funds.
Odaily News According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi's monitoring, the hacker who attacked the MEV bot Jaredfromsubway.eth and caused it to lose over $7.5 million spent the final 2.44 million DAI to purchase 1,277 ETH 10 hours ago. This amount represented the hacker's last pending funds on-chain, and the next step may involve mixing the funds through Tornado Cash.
CertiK 表示，其监测系统发现两笔各 200 ETH 的交易转入 Tornado Cash，相关资金与正在进行的 Coldcard Wallet 攻击事件有关。上述资金此前通过 THORChain 由 BTC 跨链转入以太坊地址，随后再被转入 Tornado Cash。
Odaily News, Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor said at the company's Q2 earnings call that while the company has previously allocated nearly "100% of its funds to Bitcoin," it may adopt a combined strategy of holding both cash and BTC going forward. He stated, "Perhaps the best way to buy the most Bitcoin is not to buy the most Bitcoin immediately."TD Cowen and Benchmark both maintained their Buy ratings on Strategy following the Q2 earnings call. The two firms believe that the core goal of the company's current management has shifted toward bringing its STRC preferred stock price back to near par value, thereby restoring its ability to function as a financing tool.TD Cowen analyst Lance Vitanza said the most important takeaway from the call was management's strong focus on STRC. Company executives repeatedly emphasized that restoring STRC to par value is the core objective, and noted that despite recent price deviations in the security, institutional adoption continues to rise.Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer holds a similar view. He pointed out that Saylor and his team spent most of the 90-minute call focused on the same goal: restoring STRC to the $99–$100 range, making it once again the primary engine for the company to raise capital and purchase Bitcoin.
According to on-chain analyst PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert), the address labeled "Drift Exploiter" has deposited 23,095.1 ETH (approximately $44.4 million) into Tornado Cash for mixing, and additionally transferred 0.85 ETH to Bybit.
on-chain investigator ZachXBT stated that the cross-chain bridge protocol TeleSwap was suspected of being attacked on July 15, 2026, resulting in losses exceeding $735,000. However, as of five days after the incident, the project team has not yet publicly disclosed the relevant situation.ZachXBT stated that shortly after suspicious fund outflows were detected, TeleSwap's Bitcoin hot wallet stopped processing transactions. About two hours ago, the attacker transferred the stolen funds into the privacy mixing protocol Tornado Cash.
According to The Block, JPMorgan analysts pointed out in the latest report that although recent spot Bitcoin ETF fund inflows have fluctuated significantly, Strategy's increase of USD reserves from $2.55 billion to $3 billion (covering approximately 20 months of preferred stock dividends), as well as Bitcoin futures (including CME futures and perpetual contracts) recording positive fund inflows this week, are both "positive signals" for Bitcoin's prospects. The analysts also noted that leveraged ETF inflows linked to Strategy have remained stable for seven consecutive weeks, mainly driven by retail investors, effectively supporting its stock price. Meanwhile, Strategy President and CEO Phong Le stated that the company is "very confident" in its balance sheet, will only consider debt risk if Bitcoin prices fall to the $8,000 to $10,000 range, and plans to continue issuing additional shares after the STRC preferred stock returns to a $100 par value, with the proceeds potentially used to purchase more Bitcoin.
JPMorgan analysts say Strategy’s recent increase in USD cash reserves, along with positive fund flows in the Bitcoin futures market, are “encouraging signs” for Bitcoin’s outlook, despite recent volatility in spot Bitcoin ETF flows.The report notes that flows into spot Bitcoin ETFs have been unstable in recent weeks, turning negative this week after inflows last week. In contrast, leveraged ETFs linked to Strategy have seen relatively stable and positive flows over the past seven weeks. Analysts attribute this primarily to retail investor buying, which may have supported Strategy’s stock price and prevented its common stock from falling below the net asset value of its Bitcoin holdings.Meanwhile, Strategy recently increased its USD cash reserves from $2.55 billion to $3 billion, enough to cover approximately 20 months of preferred stock dividend payments. JPMorgan had previously suggested that Strategy should raise its cash reserves to cover two to three years of dividends, in order to alleviate market concerns about the company potentially being forced to sell Bitcoin to pay dividends in the future.Analysts say it is still difficult to determine whether Strategy's move to bolster its cash reserves has directly improved Bitcoin investor sentiment. However, the fact that Bitcoin futures still recorded positive fund flows this week, against a backdrop of spot BTC ETF outflows, is also seen as an encouraging signal for the market outlook.

According to monitoring by on-chain analyst PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert), the public OLP vault of decentralized perpetual contract protocol Ostium (@Ostium) was attacked, with approximately 24 million USDC stolen. The attacker subsequently swapped the stolen funds for 12,080 ETH and has transferred 10,540 ETH into the mixer Tornado Cash to obscure the fund flow. On-chain tracing shows that the attacker's initial funds originated from ChangeNow and Bybit, with 1 ETH transferred from each to the attacker's wallet (0x321D...8bfD9).
Odaily Odaily Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas posted on X, stating that he originally planned to examine how much cash leveraged ETFs have consumed since their launch and compare it to the $750 billion in losses caused by the poor performance of active mutual funds. However, after calculations, he found that these products have actually generated $66 billion in cash for the traders using them. Many leveraged ETFs, such as TQQQ, have risen by 38,000% but still experienced capital outflows, indicating that traders are taking profits. These figures already account for volatility drag and include -2x funds.
