Analyst: Short-Term Holder Supply Share Continues to Contract, May Reflect Bitcoin Is in Opportunity Zone
CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that the share of supply held by Short-Term Holders (STH) in the Bitcoin market is declining significantly, with the current distribution as follows: less than 1 day accounts for 1.2%, 1 day to 1 week accounts for 2%, 1 week to 1 month accounts for 5.6%, 1 month to 3 months accounts for 6.7%, and 3 months to 6 months accounts for 8.1%. He believes that this trend usually appears at the end of a bear market: on one hand, it indicates that the number of Long-Term Holders (LTH) is increasing, with fewer coins in active circulation in the market; on the other hand, it also indicates that new demand has not yet significantly returned.

"White-Haired Stock God" Serenity Slams the Paid Investment Research Community: Would Rather Share Openly Than Sell "Wall Street Secrets"
The self-proclaimed "White-Haired Stock Guru" Serenity posted that he recently observed a disappointing pattern: first attempting to compete for the same audience, then quickly funneling traffic toward paid communities or high-priced services. After he refuses to join or promote paid groups, they switch to personal attacks, framing them as "fundamental viewpoint disagreements." When he first joined X, financial content was saturated with luxury watches, private jets, options trading, and promotions for "Wall Street Secrets" paid communities and technical analysis charts. Consequently, he has always aimed to take a different approach by publicly sharing his research and investment logic, making it freely accessible to everyone so they can form their own judgments. Serenity added that although some had previously claimed he would eventually raise the subscription price to $100, his rate has consistently remained at $1 for months and will continue to be kept at the lowest possible price. He also outlined his investment perspectives on stocks such as AXTI, NBIS, AEHR, MU, and INTC. Serenity noted that some investment themes may not be verifiable until 2027–2028, covering subjects related to Sivers, Foci, and Shunsin. Finally, Serenity emphasized that not every investment thesis needs to be right, as uncertainty is inherent to research. Rather than seeing information increasingly trapped behind a $100 paywall or diluted by engagement-bait content, he hopes X will cultivate a new culture centered on openly sharing investment logic, enabling everyone to learn from rigorous research.
Data: Ethereum and BNB Chain Share 65,340 High-Risk Addresses, with Associated Losses Exceeding $574 Million
Odaily News - A study published at USENIX Security '26 reveals that researchers identified 65,340 high-risk cryptocurrency addresses involved in abuse on Ethereum and BNB Chain, with associated native token losses reaching 126,982.94 ETH and 17,726.7 BNB. The study estimates that total losses linked to these addresses exceed $574.8 million, of which two newly described active attack vectors directly caused approximately $15.7 million in losses (2.7% of the total). The first category involves contract account misuse and exploitation of deterministic contract addresses; the second leverages EIP-7702 to delegate accounts with exposed keys to malicious code that directly transfers deposits. The research team extracted over 16.3 million unique private keys by mining 63,004 GitHub repositories from January 2015 to May 2025, achieving an overall accuracy rate of 99.11% in detection results.

Ripple to Share North Korean Threat Intelligence with Crypto Industry to Counter Long-Period Social Engineering Attacks
According to CoinDesk, Ripple announced on Monday that it will share its internal intelligence on North Korean hackers with Crypto ISAC, a threat intelligence-sharing organization for the cryptocurrency industry, to help businesses identify coordinated intrusion campaigns. This move comes amid a recent shift in attack patterns targeting the cryptocurrency sector. The April theft of $285 million from the Drift protocol was not a traditional smart-contract vulnerability exploit; instead, North Korean hackers spent months building relationships with Drift contributors and installing malware on their devices before stealing private keys. Ripple stated: “The strongest crypto security posture is a shared one. A threat actor rejected by one company after background screening may submit resumes to three other companies the same week. Without shared intelligence, each company starts from scratch.”

Share Continues to Expand, Robinhood CEO Expects Crypto Prediction Contracts to Surpass Traditional Sports Betting Within Years
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated that cryptocurrency-related prediction contracts are taking an increasingly large share of Robinhood's prediction market, and he expects sports-related contracts may decline to a minority within the next few years. Robinhood's event contract revenue in the second quarter of 2026 grew more than 10x year-over-year to $156 million, with contract trading volume reaching 4.7 billion trades in August, approximately 15 times that of the same period in 2025. Robinhood currently builds its prediction market on Kalshi and provides related services through Rothera, a joint venture established with Susquehanna, while also having taken a stake in Crypto.com and its prediction market subsidiary OG.com.
