Serenity: Unitree's Listing Provides a Valuation Benchmark for Humanoid Robot Companies in the Public Market
"White-Haired Stock God" Serenity stated that Unitree (688836) surged significantly after its listing, providing an important valuation benchmark for humanoid robot companies in the public market.

JPMorgan: Bitcoin's Biggest Risk Is Not MicroStrategy Selling Pressure, But Blockchain Adoption Bypassing Public Chains
According to The Block, JPMorgan analysts pointed out in their latest report that although Strategy's Bitcoin selling plan has triggered market attention, it is not the core risk facing Bitcoin. The real structural threat lies in the fact that blockchain applications such as tokenization, payments, and settlements are increasingly occurring on permissioned chains (Permissioned Blockchain), rather than on public chains such as Ethereum. If this trend continues, the public chain ecosystem will face issues such as declining liquidity and weakened capital inflows, ultimately dragging down Bitcoin valuations. The analysts also warned that the proliferation of bank-built blockchain infrastructure and tokenized deposits could undermine the position of stablecoins in institutional payments; regulated alternatives such as SWIFT's blockchain plan, the digital euro, and the digital yuan also constitute competitive pressure. However, the analysts also pointed out that if hybrid public-private chain models emerge, stablecoin regulation becomes clearer, or Bitcoin continues to be held as "digital gold", the aforementioned risks may be mitigated.

U.S. Department of the Treasury Seeks Public Comment on GENIUS Act Rules
The U.S. Department of the Treasury has issued proposed rules on the GENIUS Act and opened a 60-day public comment period. The Act is scheduled to take effect in January 2027, requiring a federal or state license for payment stablecoin issuance.
U.S. Treasury Seeks Public Comments on Draft Rules for GENIUS Act Stablecoin Implementation
Odaily News The U.S. Department of the Treasury released on August 17 a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) regarding the implementation rules for the GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins), and is seeking public comments to advance the establishment of a U.S. regulatory framework for payment stablecoins.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the Trump administration and Congress have driven the passage of the GENIUS Act, establishing a "landmark regulatory framework and clear rules" for payment stablecoins, and the Treasury is accelerating the implementation of related systems. He stated that the Treasury hopes to support innovation and development by U.S. companies by providing regulatory certainty, while consolidating the U.S. dollar's status as the global reserve currency and positioning the United States as a global hub for crypto assets.Under the GENIUS Act, starting January 18, 2027, any entity seeking to issue payment stablecoins in the United States will generally be required to obtain an appropriate federal or state license. Additionally, digital asset service providers will generally be prohibited from offering, selling, or distributing payment stablecoins issued by foreign entities to the U.S. market, unless the foreign issuer has the technical capability to comply with U.S. regulatory requirements and can adhere to relevant arrangements reached between the United States and the issuer's jurisdiction.Starting July 18, 2028, the Act further requires that digital asset service providers generally may not offer or sell payment stablecoins to "U.S. persons" unless the relevant stablecoins are issued by a licensed issuer.The Treasury's draft rules primarily provide regulatory interpretation on two key issues: first, clarifying what constitutes "issuing payment stablecoins in the United States" to help issuers determine when they need to obtain a license under the GENIUS Act; second, clarifying what constitutes "offering or selling payment stablecoins to U.S. persons" to provide compliance guidance for companies participating in the U.S. stablecoin market.The U.S. Department of the Treasury stated that the public comment period will last 60 days following publication in the Federal Register, during which the public and industry participants may submit comments.
Dutch prosecutors sell cryptocurrencies seized from bankrupt platform Knaken, raising $2.5 million
Odaily News: The Dutch Public Prosecution Service has sold cryptocurrencies seized from the bankrupt Dutch crypto platform Knaken, raising $2.5 million to repay creditors. Court-appointed bankruptcy administrator Carl Hamm stated that this amount is currently the sole source of funds in the bankruptcy estate. Knaken had offered Dutch users cryptocurrency trading and custody services through its app but failed to obtain the license required by the country's market regulator. The platform ceased operations in early June, and the Rotterdam court declared it bankrupt on July 16 after prosecutors sought liquidation on public interest grounds. Hamm estimates that customer funds totaled $12 million to $14 million and has notified approximately 6,300 customers to lower their expectations. A lawyer representing one client questioned whether prosecutors had the right to sell the relevant assets. Knaken founder Ronald J. disputed some of the investment figures and stated that the platform, operating as a broker, recorded all orders. (Decrypt)
French Tax Data Breach Affects Nearly 678,000 People, Potentially Heightening Violent Attack Risks Against Crypto Holders

Among those affected, nearly 27,000 individuals had taxable income of at least €100,000, 386 exceeded €1 million, and another 8 surpassed €10 million.Reports indicate that the database has been listed for sale on dark web marketplaces for several thousand euros. The attacker, going by the name ZeroBytes, claims to have extracted the records using an internal search tool before being detected and having access cut off.The incident has raised concerns within the crypto industry, as France has seen a noticeable increase in "wrench attacks" targeting crypto holders in recent years. If high-income individuals' addresses and contact details are exposed, it could provide criminals with a more precise list of targets.
Texas Requires Data Centers to Bear Power Costs; Galaxy and Two Other Firms Commit to Complying with New Regulatory Standards
Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that Galaxy Digital, Compass Datacenters, and Montera Infrastructure have committed to complying with new standards and regulatory requirements established by Texas for data center construction.It is understood that these guidelines are being implemented across data center projects statewide, aiming to ensure that data center expansion does not add burdens to residents, nor affect grid stability, water supply, or community quality of life. Under the new rules, data center operators must meet several requirements, including: bearing the costs of power infrastructure themselves without shifting construction and operational costs onto Texas households and small businesses; implementing water recycling for their own use to reduce pressure on public water resources; taking measures to lower overall electricity costs; avoiding disruption to residential communities by reducing noise, light, and traffic impacts; and reducing dependence on government subsidies and taxpayer funds to achieve self-sustaining project operations.Additionally, the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) will review data center projects, requiring companies to disclose project ownership structures, government subsidy details, electricity demand forecasts, self-built power generation plans, water usage plans, and community impact mitigation measures.
South Korean Public Institution Employee Fired for Unauthorized Mining, Court Dismisses Wrongful Dismissal Lawsuit
According to Yonhap News Agency, a former department head surnamed A at the Korea Food Research Institute filed an administrative lawsuit after being fired for privately mining cryptocurrency in the institution's warehouse, but was ruled to have lost the case by the Seoul Administrative Court on the 3rd of last month. According to the investigation, between February and September 2023, A unauthorizedly installed 2 GPU servers in the idle Promotion Hall warehouse of the institute and used institutional budget to complete air conditioning, network, and electrical renovation projects, cumulatively illegally mining approximately 71 million altcoins. After the incident was discovered, A also forged approval documents attempting to retrieve the GPU servers to destroy evidence. In addition, between August 2023 and May 2024, A used an unauthorized VPN to clock in in violation of regulations a total of 117 times, indirectly causing important scientific research data of the institute to be illegally leaked. The Audit Committee of the National Research Council for Science & Technology launched a special audit on A in 2024, subsequently reported to the police, and requested the institute to impose a dismissal penalty. After A's internal appeals and relief applications to the Local Labor Relations Commission and the Central Labor Relations Commission were all rejected, A resorted to the administrative court, but still ended in defeat. The court ruled that the dismissal "did not involve any circumstances clearly violating social common sense or abuse of discretion." In the criminal case, A was charged with crimes such as theft, violation of the Information and Communications Network Act, and forgery of private documents, sentenced to 1 year in prison in the first instance, and the second instance upheld the original verdict in April this year, formally finalizing the sentence.
Texas Pauses Approvals for ERCOT-Related Data Centers; Bitcoin Miners with Approved Power Contracts Likely Unaffected
Odaily News – Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Monday directed the Texas Public Utility Commission and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) to audit all data centers seeking to connect to the state's power grid, and paused approvals for ERCOT-related data center projects. The audit timeline has not been disclosed. Bernstein analysts stated that most Bitcoin mining firms operating in Texas have already signed approved power capacity contracts, and their operations are not expected to be affected by the approval pause. They believe the audit will curb speculative data center pipelines, making real sites with development history more valuable. The analysts noted that Cipher Digital, Core Scientific, and CleanSpark's Texas operations may become more vulnerable to public opposition to data center expansion during future ERCOT approval processes to convert pipeline assets into grid-connected power capacity. IREN and Riot Platforms' Texas mining operations have already received full approval from the ERCOT grid.
South African Treasury and Central Bank Release Draft Manual on Cross-Border Crypto Asset Regulation, Seeking Public Comments
According to an official media announcement, the South African National Treasury and the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) jointly released the "Draft Manual on Cross-Border Crypto Asset Activities" on August 3, 2026, which is now open for public consultation with a deadline of September 30, 2026. The manual is implemented in conjunction with the previously released "Draft Regulations on Capital Flow Management 2026," aiming to strengthen supervision over cross-border financial activities and prevent risks related to illicit financial flows associated with crypto assets. The manual clarifies the trigger points for cross-border crypto asset transactions—when crypto assets are transferred between a domestic authorized CASP and a foreign CASP, or from a domestic authorized CASP to a non-custodial wallet, it constitutes cross-border capital inflow or outflow and must be reported to the Financial Supervision Department (FinSurv). It is worth noting that at this stage, only individuals are allowed to conduct crypto asset outflow operations through authorized CASPs within the single discretionary allowance or foreign capital allowance; South African entities are temporarily not allowed to conduct related cross-border operations. In addition, the manual currently does not distinguish between different types of crypto assets, nor does it list crypto assets as official South African currency.

Hyperliquid Expected to Unlock $589 Million Worth of HYPE on September 6
Odaily News: Hyperliquid ecosystem project team HyperLabs has unlocked 433,025 HYPE, worth approximately $23.46 million, and has been continuously depositing tokens into trading platforms, including Flowdesk and OKX. Tracking data shows that an additional 9.92 million HYPE is expected to be unlocked on September 6, worth approximately $589 million based on a price of $59.39. The Hyper Foundation publishes the claim amounts around the 6th of each month. In March, only 173,217 HYPE were actually claimed, lower than the planned 99,200 tokens. Tokenomist data shows that the aid fund has repurchased 11.9 million HYPE from the unlock schedule, accounting for approximately 14%. The repurchased tokens will be burned, reducing the current total supply to 955.3 million HYPE. Certified Public Accountant Dat Ngo stated that tax liabilities typically arise upon token vesting, and some holders may sell tokens to cover taxes. TMGM CPA Ashley Akin stated that if the market is not overly leveraged, the $581 million unlock can still be absorbed, but combined with margin requirements, it would increase trading difficulty. On-chain perpetual contract trading platform Hyperliquid does not restrict users from trading during certain news events. Market data shows that liquidation volume has dropped 71%, trading volume has fallen 50%, and open interest continues to decline. Bitcoin remains below $65,000, and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes will be released ahead of the Federal Reserve's September 15-16 meeting. (Forbes Digital Assets)
