The application offers three membership tiers: standard users can enjoy a 5% annual yield, and by depositing 2000 USD in USDe or inviting 10 users, they can upgrade to VIP status, enjoying a 6% yield; depositing 10,000 USD or inviting 50 people allows for further upgrades. Cash back is paid in AVAX.The beta version of Ethena Pay is now available on iOS and Android, initially covering countries such as Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, the Philippines, Singapore, the UAE, and Australia, with the US, EU, Canada, and South Korea to follow. Currently, the circulating supply of USDe is approximately 4 billion USD.

Tom Lee stated during his appearance on CNBC: "I believe that there are actually very few people who truly hold cryptocurrencies. Because of this, I think Bitcoin can easily break through six figures (like over $100,000), but it may also be affected by interest rate hikes. As for how cryptocurrencies will perform, I think this will be a good test, but we have already seen long-term yields (interest rates) rising. So, if we see the Federal Reserve raising interest rates while long-term yields actually decline, that would essentially mean monetary easing. Therefore, the key may be how long-term yields respond to the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes."He also added: "I think this is just the first wave of the rise because this round of cryptocurrency market has caught many people off guard. Well, I believe institutional investors are buying stocks related to cryptocurrencies, and this is very obvious—trading volume has surged significantly, which signals that they are betting on a big market in the fourth quarter. I think $150,000 is still possible, well, it's actually not that far from now."

Bitfinex published an analysis stating that despite tightening macro conditions, Bitcoin remains steady above $77,100. Last week, after Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh's hawkish speech in Jackson Hole, BTC fell from above $81,000, but the rise in August was primarily driven by spot buying rather than excessive leverage—open interest gradually increased, the basis remained relatively restrained, and last week, net inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs approached $1 billion, while Ethereum investment products saw a net inflow of $815.7 million for 10 consecutive days.On the macro front, U.S. PCE inflation is at 3.7%, core inflation at 3.3%, annualized private demand growth in Q2 is 4.2%, and the deficit for the first 10 months of this fiscal year reached $1.8 trillion. Warsh confirmed that the 2% inflation target is a hard constraint, and the market has raised the probability of a rate hike in September to 57%. Bitfinex believes that the continued support from ETF and stablecoin liquidity is sustaining prices, but expectations of interest rate hikes limit the upside potential. If crypto inflows remain resilient, it will prove that underlying demand is still solid.

Flow blockchain officially announced that at approximately 06:18 UTC today, there was a vulnerability in Ankr's ankrFLOW liquid staking contract, allowing attackers to create about 8.6 million uncollateralized ankrFLOW. This is not a vulnerability of the Flow EVM or the Flow protocol and does not affect the Flow token economics.The attackers subsequently used ankrFLOW as collateral to deplete approximately 15.5 million WFLOW reserves on the MORE Markets lending protocol, valued at about $410,000, and made a profit of about $246,000 after slippage. Some reports incorrectly stated that the impact was around $9.3 million. Ankr and MORE Markets have suspended the related contracts, and some exchanges have proactively suspended FLOW deposits.The Flow Foundation will work with Ankr to replenish the stolen WFLOW reserves and rebalance the liquidity pool. The Flow network is operating normally, and ankrFLOW staking and MORE Markets lending will be suspended until Ankr deploys a fix upgrade. User funds are safe, and no action is required.

The privacy public chain Zano activated its sixth hard fork (HF6) at block height 3,833,000. The upgrade has been launched on the mainnet, completing the largest upgrade in the network's seven-year history. HF6 introduces Gateway Addresses, providing a directly traceable single balance and instant synchronization for centralized exchanges, DEX, and cross-chain bridges, while retaining existing addresses and their privacy models.Native ZANO can now be cross-chain transferred to Ethereum, Solana, and TON without custody, publicly on external networks, and privacy protection is restored after crossing back to Zano. The upgrade also tightens consensus validation rules and strengthens wallet encryption, mining pool fault tolerance, payment IDs, anti-DoS restrictions, SOCKS5 proxies, and RPC interfaces. HF6 is a prerequisite for the development of the EVM-compatible chain Zano Execution Layer, which currently has no fixed launch date; the next-generation consensus protocol Zenith has been included in the 2027 roadmap.
