According to CoinDesk, data from Curve Finance shows that its lending market has recorded a total of 704 "soft liquidation" events, involving 602 borrower addresses, with a median duration of 14.5 days, of which a quarter lasted at least 38.9 days, and some positions remained within the liquidation range for several months. Of these soft liquidations, 476 began in the first half of 2026. Unlike traditional lending protocols such as Aave and Compound, Curve's LLAMMA system does not sell off collateral all at once after the price drops below a threshold, but gradually converts collateral into borrowed assets within a price range. If the price rebounds before the loan completely fails, some or all of the conversions may be reversed. This means that borrowers are not in a grace period; their collateral has been partially liquidated during the loan's duration, but they still have the opportunity to restore their positions if the price reverses. However, soft liquidations are not without costs. Data shows that borrowers may still incur losses due to transaction fees, conversions, rebalancing, interest, and bid-ask price fluctuations, and if the market remains unfavorable, positions may still fall into hard liquidation. Curve Finance is a mainstream DeFi protocol focused on stablecoin exchanges and crvUSD lending, currently holding approximately $1.35 billion in deposits, with a DEX trading volume of about $3.4 billion over the past 30 days and active loans of about $46 million.

Arthur Hayes released a new project FLOP white paper on social media. FLOP is a proof of useful inference (PoUI) blockchain and native currency aimed at the agent economy, where AI agents can use FLOP to pay miners for inference fees. The network adopts an architecture that combines PoUI with account-based chains, where agents submit session requests to the memory pool containing model weight hashes, maximum latency, computational load, confidentiality flags, and fees. Miners complete the inference and return proofs, which validators incorporate into blocks to complete settlements.The initial supply of FLOP is approximately 2.48346 billion tokens, all allocated for airdrops, with no VC pre-mining or auctions. The first phase of reward distribution allocates 75% to miners, 10% to validators, 10% to agents, and 5% to regular stakers. The average block time for the network is 1 second, with a roadmap goal of sub-second block times. The initial block reward is 96 FLOP, halving every 730 days, for a total of five halvings, after which it will permanently remain at 3 FLOP.The maximum number of validators is capped at 1,000, with approximately 50 rotating monthly based on verified workload and online rates. Miners and validators must stake FLOP, and malicious behavior may face penalties of up to full forfeiture and bans. Governance is conducted through FLOP improvement proposals, requiring a two-thirds approval from active validators in most cases.

According to TrendForce's latest research on the memory industry, in the second quarter of 2026, due to a significant increase in the contract price of Conventional DRAM, the overall revenue of the DRAM industry is expected to grow by 59.5% quarter-on-quarter, reaching nearly 154.73 billion USD.With the training of LLM models and AI inference stimulating the demand for AI Servers, shipments of HBM3e, LPDDR5X, and high-capacity RDIMMs are growing simultaneously, while Agentic AI applications are driving the demand for RDIMMs of various capacities. On the supply side, manufacturers' inventories are at a low point, and new supply is prioritized for Server applications, leading to a slight growth in overall DRAM bit shipments in the second quarter.

Bitcoin price fell nearly 1% to around $79,700, as escalating conflicts between the United States and Iran pushed oil prices higher. The U.S. Central Command confirmed on Saturday that it struck three Iranian oil tankers located near Halk Island, Jask, and the Gulf of Oman. Admiral Brad Cooper stated that if Iran attacks U.S. vessels, the U.S. will impose a higher economic cost.The U.S. Central Command updated maritime blockade data, stating that since resuming operations on July 14, it has redirected 92 merchant ships, disabled 3, and boarded 2 for inspection. Oil prices rose by 1% in both the U.S. and European markets, with WTI at $92.72, marking a cumulative increase of over 6% in the past seven days. The rise in oil prices could exacerbate global inflation, making it more difficult for central banks, including the Federal Reserve, to cut interest rates.Additionally, the U.S. employment data for August released last Friday was stronger than expected, reinforcing expectations for an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve. However, Trump immediately posted on Truth Social calling for a rate cut, stating that a strong nation means lower interest rates. This uncertainty may dampen risk appetite for Bitcoin and the broader market. Furthermore, late Sunday night, the Liquid Network, used by exchanges as a settlement layer, suffered a $320 million attack.

Figure co-founder and Executive Chairman Mike Cagney tweeted that DeFi is more suitable for asset-backed finance (ABF), which can avoid double pledging, directly improve collateral, self-custody or autonomous venues, and liquidity collateral. He believes that Figure has brought ABF on-chain, but overall it is still in the early stages, with approximately $60 trillion of the market yet to migrate on a large scale.He also listed five reasons why traditional finance has been slow to enter on-chain applications: poor interface experience, which has allowed applications like Robinhood and SoFi to win on the retail side; the long-term difficulty of achieving qualified custody and recoverable self-custody; hedge funds and others requiring multiple wallets, multiple users, tiered permissions, and complete audits to be exported to fund administration and accounting; regulation is being streamlined, and the precedent for on-chain native securities is becoming clearer, with hopes for the CLARITY Act and guidelines; and KYC issues are easier to resolve than the outside world thinks, as on-chain programmatic screening and wallet-level permissions can be implemented.
