Odaily News Crypto analyst Murphy stated on X that on-chain data reveals a rare large-scale movement of coins by Bitcoin long-term holders (LTH) recently. Over the past two days, more than 65,000 BTC have moved on-chain each day (excluding internal transfers within the same entity), leading to a notable decline in LTH net positions.Data shows that LTH net positions had begun to deviate from their previous continuous growth trend since May this year, entering a plateau in July, with the recent large-scale transfers being relatively uncommon over the past year. Among these, approximately 14,000 BTC flowed into exchanges. Some of the funds include a transaction where a company under Trump's umbrella transferred 2,628 BTC to Crypto.com.Currently, aside from the portion flowing into exchanges, the destination and purpose of the remaining coins reduced by long-term holders remain unclear. Murphy stated that potential risks currently affecting the BTC market include: 1) Shifts in Fed monetary policy and rising rate hike expectations; 2) Inflationary pressure from Middle East tensions and oil price changes; 3) Valuation concentration in the AI sector and financing risks behind high capital expenditures; 4) Re-crowding of yen carry trade positions.

CFTC Proposes to Include Prediction Market Event Contracts in "Swaps" Definition to Draw a Clear Line From Gambling
According to CoinDesk, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has submitted two proposed rules to the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB): one would formally classify event contracts traded on platforms such as Kalshi, Polymarket, Crypto.com, and Robinhood under the regulatory definition of "swaps"; the other would explicitly exclude casino-style gambling products from the swaps category. This move aims to respond to recent federal court rulings—the Sixth and Eighth Circuits both ruled that Kalshi's sports-related contracts do not qualify as swaps and should be subject to state gambling regulations, while the Third Circuit upheld the CFTC's jurisdiction over prediction markets. With conflicting rulings across the circuits, the matter may ultimately need to be resolved by the U.S. Supreme Court. Currently, the CFTC comprises only one commissioner, Chair Mike Selig, with all related decisions made solely by him.

Sports betting company Underdog sues Connecticut, seeking to block sports prediction market enforcement
According to The Block, sports betting company Underdog has filed a lawsuit in federal court against Connecticut state officials seeking to prevent the state from classifying its sports event contracts as illegal gambling. Underdog argues that it operates as a federally regulated Designated Contract Market (DCM), and that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) holds "exclusive jurisdiction" over DCMs, meaning Connecticut's enforcement action conflicts with the framework of the Commodity Exchange Act. Previously, Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) issued cease and desist orders to nine prediction market platforms, including Underdog, Polymarket, Coinbase, Crypto.com, and Robinhood. Earlier this month, Underdog also filed separate lawsuits in five states: Ohio, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, New Mexico, and Washington.

Odaily News - The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled 3-0 on August 28 that sports event contracts offered by Kalshi are not swaps, and that the Commodity Exchange Act does not preclude Nevada from applying gambling regulations to the relevant contracts. The court also vacated a prior injunction that allowed Kalshi to continue offering the contracts, and denied injunction requests from Crypto.com and Robinhood.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled in April of this year that Kalshi's related contracts were likely swaps and protected by federal law from state regulation. The two federal appellate courts are now split on the issue, and New Jersey has a September 3 deadline to petition the U.S. Supreme Court for review.Kalshi said it will seek further review and believes current U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) rules do not prohibit sports event contracts. Robinhood said it plans to appeal; the CFTC, meanwhile, noted that derivatives structured as swaps qualify as swaps, and except for onions and movie box office revenue, the law provides no related exemptions.

Tectonic hit by oracle manipulation attack, $120.4 million in assets stolen
According to the post-incident report released by Tectonic, the Cronos blockchain lending protocol Tectonic suffered an oracle manipulation attack at 12:49 UTC on August 30, 2026. By repeatedly borrowing and re-collateralizing TONIC tokens 98 times within a single transaction, the attacker drove up the TONIC collateral price by approximately 195 times. Leveraging this artificially inflated value, they subsequently extracted assets with a nominal value of $120.4 million from nine lending markets, spanning USDC, USDT, WBTC, WETH, and other assets. The attacker then bridged the stablecoins to Ethereum and converted them to ETH, while selling the remaining assets for CRO on the Cronos chain before withdrawing them. Approximately $9.19 million in total successfully escaped before the network halt. At 14:32 UTC, Cronos validators emergency-paused the network, rolling back the on-chain state to pre-attack conditions and restoring assets still held on Cronos. Currently, Tectonic's supply and borrowing functions remain suspended, while withdrawal and repayment capabilities continue normally. Tracing efforts for the stolen funds are being coordinated by blockchain forensics firms, law enforcement agencies, and stablecoin issuers, with freeze requests already filed with the relevant issuers.
