According to official news, BNB Chain announced its participation in the Mastercard Crypto Partner Program, collaborating with the Mastercard ecosystem to promote the application of digital assets in global payments and everyday business scenarios.

AI Economic Settlement Agreement AEON disclosed that since its launch of the x402 AI payment architecture on the BNB Chain, it has processed over 1.4 million x402 transactions on the BNB Chain, with a total settlement amount exceeding 14.73 million USD. This agreement mainly supports AI Agents in autonomously completing instant verification and settlement of on-chain assets. Relevant transaction data is currently open for real-time tracking on BNB x402scan (https://bnbscan.ai/).

The blockchain network BNB Chain has enabled the Pasteur hard fork on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) mainnet. The upgrade involves cross-chain bridge validation, validator authorization, staking, and governance security, while enhancing block capacity without changing the 450 milliseconds block time.This upgrade includes BEP-682, BEP-695, and BEP-675, which respectively involve duplicate validator entries, validator key rotation and penalty governance, and block submission processes. In the internal testing environment QANet, the new process increased throughput from 1,237 transactions per second to 2,324 transactions per second, but the related data comes from controlled tests and not mainnet measurement results.

According to monitoring by Lookonchain, a certain whale withdrew 8,474 BNB from Binance, worth 5.9 million dollars, and deposited it into Venus.Subsequently, they borrowed 2.6 million dollars in USDT from Venus and deposited it back into Binance to buy more BNB.

According to GMGN data, on August 22, the meme trading volume of the three chains Solana, BNB, and Robinhood exceeded $310 million; among them, the Solana chain exceeded $159 million, the BNB chain exceeded $83 million, and the Robinhood chain exceeded $68 million, accounting for 51.2%, 26.8%, and 22.0% respectively. The top three meme projects by trading volume are CATE, CASHCAT, and Niu Lai. The daily week-on-week growth rate of meme trading volume across the three chains is -13.0%, with the highest growth rate being on the BNB chain, which has a daily week-on-week growth rate of 10.8%.

According to Bitcoin.com, Grayscale's research director Zach Pandl pointed out in an analysis report that if the SEC's proposed new regulations on crypto asset financing (Regulation Crypto Assets) are ultimately implemented, Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain may become the main beneficiaries.The proposal establishes two exemption paths: projects raising less than $5 million can be exempt from registration for four years, and projects raising less than $75 million can be exempt from registration for one year, with a conditional safe harbor designed to provide a clear domestic compliance path for crypto asset issuance and reduce the motivation for issuers to operate overseas. Pandl noted that tokenized financing has previously been hindered by regulatory ambiguity, and if the new regulations stimulate issuance activities, it will bring more U.S. issuers and investors on-chain, driving value back to underlying networks and native tokens such as ETH, SOL, and BNB. The proposal is still in the public comment phase, and the final rules may be adjusted based on public feedback and SEC review; increased network activity does not guarantee a rise in token prices.

According to GMGN market data, BNB has rebounded today, showing a dazzling rise among mainstream coins. Meanwhile, the BSC ecosystem Meme coins continue the strong upward trend from yesterday: MUBARAK has increased by 43.95% in the last 24 hours, with a market cap rising to $30 million; Binance Life has increased by 21.85% in the last 24 hours, with a market cap rising to $579 million; I’m Coming has increased by 7.31% in the last 24 hours, with a market cap rising to $10.5 million; BROCCOLI714 has increased by 12.88% in the last 24 hours, with a market cap rising to $6.83 million; BROCCOLIF3B has increased by 12.14% in the last 24 hours, with a market cap rising to $19.6 million.ChainCatcher reminds users that Meme coins generally have no practical use cases, and their prices are highly volatile, so investment should be approached with caution.

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.

According to Lookonchain monitoring, two newly created wallets withdrew 20,007 BNB from Binance 7 hours ago, worth approximately 12.1 million USD.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng stated at Binance Square: Too many people are trying to overinterpret "What does this mean?" Today, I tested Trust Wallet and found too many Meme tokens in the wallet, so many that it was hard to even find BNB, so I tried to burn some tokens. As a result, even this action sparked quite a bit of community discussion. I realized that I could never "clean up" the meme coins on this address. The more I burn, the more people will send coins to this address. The transparent nature of blockchain means that any action on this address will be overinterpreted by the community.I even considered asking the Trust Wallet team to create an "Ignore Coin" feature to avoid cluttering the interface, but 99.99% of people wouldn't use this feature at all. So the plan is as follows: I will donate BNB and the "Binance Life" tokens purchased with BNB to Giggle Academy. After that, I will stop using this address and turn it into a burn address.

According to GMGN market data, the market capitalization of the meme coin "Bull Coming" on BNB Chain briefly fell below 14 million USD, currently reported at 14.02 million USD, down over 51% from its peak.ChainCatcher reminds users that meme coins often have no practical use cases, and their prices are highly volatile, so investment should be approached with caution.

BNB Smart Chain (BSC) announced that the Pasteur hard fork will officially launch on the mainnet at 10:30 AM Beijing time on August 25 (02:30 UTC on August 25). Node operators need to upgrade to client version v1.7.7 in advance. This upgrade includes three improvements: BEP-682, BEP-695, and BEP-675, focusing on enhancing cross-chain security, validator governance mechanisms, and network throughput capacity.Among them, BEP-682 will strengthen the cross-chain bridge validation mechanism of the BNB Chain, preventing the risk of permission bypass caused by duplicate calculations of validator signatures, thus improving the security of cross-chain asset transfers. BEP-695 optimizes the validator key rotation mechanism, ensuring that old keys no longer retain management permissions after exiting, while also fixing potential vulnerabilities related to penalties and governance voting. In terms of performance, BEP-675 reduces the time consumption caused by validators repeatedly executing transactions by optimizing the block construction process.In the internal QANet testing environment of the BNB Chain, this solution increased throughput from 1237 TPS to 2324 TPS, while maintaining a block time of 450 milliseconds and a block limit of 100 million Gas, with the average Gas usage per block rising from 46.35 million to 84.15 million.BNB Chain stated that this upgrade is primarily aimed at validators and block builders, intending to provide greater capacity during network peak periods and to promote the throughput expansion goals outlined in the BNB Chain roadmap for the second half of 2026.

A study published at USENIX Security '26 shows that researchers identified 65,340 high-risk crypto addresses associated with abuse on Ethereum and BNB Chain, with associated native token losses amounting to 126,982.94 ETH and 17,726.7 BNB.The study estimates that the total losses associated with these addresses exceed $574.8 million, with two newly described active attack vectors directly leading to approximately $15.7 million in losses (accounting for 2.7%).The first type involves misuse of contract accounts and exploitation of deterministic contract addresses; the second type uses EIP-7702 to delegate accounts exposing keys to malicious code for direct fund transfers. The research team extracted over 16.3 million deduplicated private keys by mining 63,004 GitHub repositories from January 2015 to May 2025, with an overall detection accuracy of 99.11%.

The Agent Marketplace built on TermiX AACP, Agent.family, has supported over 250,000 ERC8004 Agents. All ERC8004 Agents registered on the BNB Chain can log in to Agent.family using their registered wallets, enabling Agents to publish jobs, negotiate, accept orders, and communicate commercially with other Agents.It is reported that TermiX is the commercial clearing layer for Agents and has received a $1 million investment from YZi Labs. Currently, the total number of Agents settled on Agent.family has exceeded 260,000, processing over 38,000 Agent Jobs, with a total transaction volume of Agent Jobs exceeding $3.5 million.

Microsoft Threat Intelligence posted on the X platform that a cluster of compromised websites has been found using ClickFix and EtherHiding technologies to spread malware, with attacks targeting thousands of enterprise and consumer devices worldwide every day.Attackers inject Base64 encoded JavaScript to connect to the BNB Smart Chain RPC gateway, obtaining the next stage instructions stored by smart contracts. Since the contract content can only be modified by the deployer's wallet, traditional takedown methods are difficult to counter. The attack deceives users into opening a run dialog box with fake verification codes, pasting clipboard content, and executing commands from the attacker, while also involving the abuse of various system tools such as conhost, cmd, PowerShell, and mshta, as well as command obfuscation techniques. Successful execution may lead to credential exposure, persistence establishment, lateral movement, and even ransomware attacks.Microsoft recommends that enterprises enable Defender's multi-layer protection, restrict command line tools, enable PowerShell script logging, and remind users not to paste commands from unknown sources into the run window or terminal for execution.

According to Globenewswire, Grayscale announced that it has completed the regular rebalancing of its multi-asset digital asset fund for the second quarter of 2026, adjusting the asset weights for the DeFi fund, smart contract fund, and decentralized AI fund.The DeFi fund DEFG Fund sold Uniswap (UNI) and reallocated the proceeds according to the existing fund component weights.

BNB Chain announced a joint "Build the Era" Agent Marketplace hackathon with TermiX, Binance Pay, PancakeSwap, etc., aimed at building the official BNB Agent Studio marketplace, thereby facilitating the discovery, comparison, and hiring of over 200,000 Agents on BNB Chain.It is reported that TermiX is the leading Agent commercial clearing layer on BNB Chain, having received a $1 million investment from YZi Labs. In this hackathon, TermiX participates in supporting the construction of the official BNB Agent Studio marketplace on BNB Chain, helping developers create a discoverable, comparable, and hireable Agent marketplace.Recently, TermiX launched Agent.family based on AACP, focusing on enabling AI Agents to achieve secure on-chain job postings, bidding, delivery verification, and settlement, building a true infrastructure for the autonomous economy of Agents.

On August 5, 2026, BNB Chain officially launched the Build the Era open hackathon, aimed at individual developers and teams, soliciting proposals for building the best AI Agent trading market on the BNB Smart Chain. Currently, over 200,000 AI Agents based on the ERC-8004 standard have been registered on the BNB Smart Chain, accounting for about 60% of the total number of similar Agents across 26 networks, but there is a lack of a unified entry point for discovery, comparison, and invocation. This hackathon aims to fill this discoverability gap.The total prize pool for this hackathon exceeds $40,000, jointly provided by BNB Chain and ecosystem partners such as TermiX, PancakeSwap, AltLayer, and Altana. Among them, the champion of the main track from BNB Chain will receive a reward equivalent to 30,000 USDT and have the opportunity to be officially adopted as the trading market for BNB Agent Studio, incubated and operated as an independent product. TermiX has set aside a partner track prize of 10,000 USDT, PancakeSwap offers 1,000 CAKE, AltLayer provides the 8004scan Pro solution and AltLLM credits, and Altana offers 50,000 XP.The submission period for works is from August 5 to September 9, with the evaluation period from September 9 to 23, and the winners will be announced on November 5. BNB Chain reminds developers to build markets around four types of Agents: monitoring, grid trading, health factor management, and yield optimization, and suggests that the market should have cross-category coverage capabilities.

According to Token Terminal data, the market value of tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds has reached $15.2 billion, covering 18 chains. Ethereum accounts for 43.2%, BNB Chain for 31.5%, and Stellar for 7.5%. Nearly three-quarters of tokenized U.S. Treasury bond issuance is on Ethereum and BNB Chain.
