According to CoinDesk, the Crypto Innovation Committee (CCI) and the Blockchain Association filed a preliminary injunction motion on Wednesday in the Sangamon County Circuit Court of Illinois, requesting to suspend the enforcement of the state's digital asset transaction tax during the litigation. The tax rate is 0.2% and applies to entities headquartered in Illinois or providing services in the state with total revenue exceeding $100,000, which is set to take effect on January 1, 2027.The two lobbying organizations, along with the Digital Chamber, filed a lawsuit against Illinois last month, claiming that the tax violates the Internet Tax Freedom Act and the U.S. Constitution, and that Illinois's approach to taxing digital assets differs from other financial services.CCI CEO Ji Hun Kim stated that businesses are forced to spend millions of dollars to build compliance systems, yet basic issues such as the tax subjects and timing remain unclear. Blockchain Association CEO Summer Mersinger warned that if the law is enacted, Illinois will not be the last state to attempt this.

According to BeInCrypto, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko posted on the X platform that he hopes to establish a giant routing on the mainstream trading aggregator Jupiter, converting tokenized Nvidia stocks into tokenized SpaceX (SPCX) via Fartcoin, and believes that this routing will become the national best bid and offer (NBBO) reference price for all brokers in the United States.Yakovenko pointed out that the Jupiter aggregator automatically selects the lowest-cost trading path, and meme coin pools typically have the deepest liquidity on the network, so the router may complete part of the stock trades through Fartcoin.

According to Cointelegraph, the Attorney General's Office of the State of Mexico (FGJEM) reported that two suspects, Diego Sebastián and Gerardo, were arrested for allegedly murdering Jonathan Meléndez, the keyboardist of the rock band Camilo Séptimo, along with his pregnant wife, daughter, and an employee. The family's golden retriever was also killed.The suspects are accused of committing the crime to obtain a cold wallet that allegedly contained millions of dollars in Bitcoin, with one of the suspects being a business partner of the victim, using that relationship to gain access to the victim's home. The two will appear in court on Wednesday, where the judge will decide if there is enough evidence to continue the criminal proceedings. If convicted, each suspect could face a prison sentence of 25 to 70 years corresponding to each victim.Such violent robberies targeting cryptocurrency holders (known as "ransom attacks") are on the rise. According to CertiK data, there were 52 reported ransom attack incidents globally in the first half of 2026, a year-on-year increase of 33.3%; among them, there were 20 home invasions targeting cryptocurrency holders, compared to only 1 during the same period last year.Chainalysis estimates that in the first half of 2026, criminals stole over 30 million dollars in cryptocurrency through ransom attacks. In 2025, global ransom attack incidents increased by 75% to 72 cases, with France leading with 19 cases, accounting for about 40% of the total attacks in Europe.

Bubblemaps stated that the wallet address that previously targeted the MARS token has sold all the tokens it held, making a profit of approximately 800,000 USD.

According to Bubblemaps, approximately 80% of the tokens for the Solana ecosystem's Trump parody meme coin CHUMP are concentrated in bundled addresses, with the project being promoted by several crypto Twitter KOLs.On-chain data shows that before the token surged, over 75 new wallets were injected with a similar amount of SOL in a short period, and then bought about 80% of CHUMP. These wallets had no prior on-chain activity, and the funds were transferred through multiple new addresses, Uniswap trades, and Relay.Bubblemaps stated that it is currently unclear who the actual controlling party of the tokens is, but the source of funds and trading patterns are highly similar, suggesting that a single entity may be in control, and advising investors to participate with caution.

According to Midi Libre, a couple in Alès, France, was recently attacked at home by two masked armed individuals. The two suspects, armed with a handgun and a knife, bound the victims and threatened them for over two hours, while their young children were also in the house.The attackers allegedly attempted to force the victims to hand over their cryptocurrency assets, but fled the scene after neighbors called the police. The case has been taken over by the relevant police department in Nîmes for investigation. The victims later stated that they had decided to no longer hold any cryptocurrency assets to avoid encountering similar incidents again. Reports indicate that since January of this year, France has recorded about 80 similar incidents.

In Solana's first binding on-chain governance vote, the SGP-0002 proposal aimed at accelerating the downward pace of SOL inflation passed with a support rate of 67%. This proposal, driven by the infrastructure service provider Helius, plans to increase the annual inflation adjustment rate of Solana from 15% to 30%, accelerating the network to reach a terminal inflation level of 1.5% and reducing the scale of new SOL issuance in the medium to long term.On the eve of the voting deadline, the proposal's support rate had not reached the two-thirds statutory threshold. Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz contacted major validator nodes and institutions in the final stages, and Kraken's validator node Kraken2 changed its voting position from opposition to support just before the deadline. Ultimately, the proposal received a support rate of 67%, with 25% opposed and 7.84% abstaining, and a staking participation rate of 60.7%, meeting the required number of voters. Mert Mumtaz stated that after hundreds of communications, the proposal gained crucial votes and passed in the final stages.

According to monitoring by Blockaid, its vulnerability detection system has found suspicious activity on the Base chain related to Moonwell. Attackers manipulated the MAMO collateral price to borrow cbBTC from the mCBTC market.The currently observed impact is the transfer of 50.6 cbBTC (worth over 4 million USD).

Bubblemaps posted on platform X that attackers exploited a vulnerability in the Cosmos EVM shared module to steal $50 million worth of NES tokens, but ultimately only profited about $60,000. Previously, Cosmos Labs reported security vulnerabilities in its shared Cosmos EVM software, affecting multiple chains built on this module, including Nesa.According to disclosures, the main attacker with an address starting with 0x9AE7 previously spent $250,000 to purchase NES and cross-chain to Nesa Chain, then exploited the vulnerability to inflate the account balance by 200 times and transferred $50 million NES back to Ethereum, with the initial funds coming from Monero. The attacker then dispersed the tokens to multiple wallet addresses, exchanged NES for ETH on a DEX, and deposited the profits into a centralized exchange.Due to the rapid withdrawal of funds from the liquidity pool, most of the attacker’s exchange transactions encountered severe slippage, resulting in an actual expenditure of $255,000 to initiate the attack, cashing out only $315,000, with a net profit of about $60,000.Bubblemaps stated that although another Cosmos EVM chain had also suffered a similar attack of $1.4 million the day before, the differences in funding sources and operational methods suggest that the two incidents may have originated from different attackers. The report also mentioned that the price of NES tokens once plummeted by 90%, but has since significantly rebounded, with the team believing that the rebound is mainly due to arbitrage activities caused by price mismatches between DEX and CEX after the attack.

According to a report by Reuters, after the Chinese robot manufacturer Unitree was listed on the Shanghai Star Market, its stock price has cumulatively dropped about 45% from the peak on its first day of trading. The market value once soared to $66 billion before retreating by about $30 billion, raising concerns about bubble risks, retail investor losses, and the IPO mechanism. On its first day of listing, it closed up 460%, far exceeding the average first-day increase of 226% for new stocks in China over the past three years, and then fell for three consecutive days, with the stock price stabilizing somewhat on Tuesday.Unitree is one of the world's leading manufacturers of quadruped and humanoid robots, capable of performing actions such as running, dancing, and martial arts, but broader commercialization remains limited, competing with companies like Tesla and Boston Dynamics. The prospectus shows that the adjusted net profit for the first quarter of 2026 decreased by 53% year-on-year to 40 million yuan, and there are also signs of profit slowing in the first half of the year. The company was listed through a fast-track process on the Star Market, which may set a precedent for other domestic peers.Analysts point out that investors are driven by the "technology revolution narrative," and the first-day performance reflects market sentiment. The discrepancy between IPO pricing and opening price indicates that at least one party is misaligned; there are also views that the rise is more due to motives for raising prices for unloading, with short selling being restricted and retail investors exacerbating volatility. Some institutions believe that robot companies have high R&D investments and that orders have not yet been realized on a large scale, making it inappropriate to focus solely on short-term profits, similar to the early electric vehicle industry.

According to Bloomberg, Trade.xyz and Hyperliquid are inspired by their success and are pursuing grander goals. They are lobbying regulators in hopes of opening pre-IPO perpetual contracts in the United States, claiming that these tools can help modernize the traditional IPO process by improving price discovery. Hyperliquid operates outside the United States and has not officially opened to U.S. traders. Trade.xyz is also subject to the same restrictions.

The cross-chain yield protocol BounceBit has released a security incident announcement stating that its blockchain network experienced a protocol-level vulnerability attack from August 19, 21:02 UTC to August 20, 01:54 UTC. The attacker exploited an authorization flaw in the underlying architecture of Evmos to transfer BB tokens from 9 mainnet accounts without the account owners' authorization. According to the announcement, the attacker transferred approximately 286.5 million BB through 14 transactions.The impact of the incident is limited to the BounceBit Chain itself and does not involve issues related to private key leakage, signature forgery, wallet, hardware device, or exchange account security. BounceBit's CeDeFi Strategy, Promo Vaults, Prime, and RWA products were not affected.BounceBit stated that the vulnerability originated from a defect in the authorization verification of the protocol's native module within the Evmos architecture. The attacker bypassed the security checks that were supposed to verify the authorization relationship of the funding source account when calling the relevant module through a smart contract, allowing them to designate any account as the source of funds.After the incident, the BounceBit Chain stopped block production at block height 20,702,857. The team then decided not to upgrade the chain but to permanently shut down the BounceBit Chain and reissue BB as a BEP-20 token based on the BNB Chain. BounceBit stated that the new BB token supply will be based on an on-chain snapshot taken before the first abnormal transfer (block height 20,697,260), and the 286,543,148 BB transferred by the attacker will not be included in the new token balance.Users do not need to submit applications or migrate wallets; the official plan is to automatically distribute the new BB to the corresponding BNB Chain addresses. For staked BB, BounceBit stated that it will be restored at the snapshot time, and holders do not need to perform unbinding or redemption operations. Currently, BounceBit has submitted requests for freezing and assistance to relevant exchanges and has reminded users to be vigilant against scams and not to click on any BB migration or claim links that have not been officially confirmed. The team stated that they will announce the new BEP-20 BB contract address and reissuance progress in the future.

BounceBit posted on platform X that the team has discovered an issue affecting the BounceBit Chain and has suspended node deployment to fix the problem.

There has been no private key leakage or damage to user wallets. The chain upgrade is scheduled for August 23 at 17:00 UTC+8.

The cryptocurrency wallet Rabby Wallet posted on platform X that the team has fixed a vulnerability after discovering it and released an update on August 11. The mobile application is not affected.The conditions that triggered the vulnerability are extremely limited: the wallet must be connected to a malicious website, and the user must manually set the auto-lock timer to 10 minutes (other settings are not affected). No exploitation in the wild has been found so far.

The on-chain data visualization analysis platform Bubblemaps has issued a warning that the Meme coin XST, which is being heavily promoted on TikTok, has a high risk of supply concentration—74% of its total supply is controlled by a small group, exhibiting typical Rug token characteristics. The current market value of this token is approximately 70 million USD.Bubblemaps urges investors to stay away from such projects and to ignore similar content if seen on TikTok's recommendation page.In recent years, TikTok has become an important distribution channel for low-quality Meme coins, creating an illusion of credibility through AI-generated celebrity videos and false associations, combined with the token's concentrated holding structure, resulting in typical high-risk Rug tokens after the hype fades.
