According to Bloomberg, data shows that the total open interest of perpetual contracts on mainstream trading platforms has decreased from $81 billion to about $67 billion over the past year, while the open interest of contracts linked to real-world assets (RWA) has increased from nearly zero to $9 billion, accounting for 14% of the total. This indicates that the enthusiasm for leveraged trading in the crypto market has not yet returned to previous levels, and the related trading infrastructure is gradually expanding to traditional assets such as stocks and commodities.During the same period, the open interest of Bitcoin perpetual contracts decreased by about $8 billion, Ethereum by about $5 billion, and other tokens collectively decreased by about $10 billion, with the growth of traditional asset contracts only partially offsetting the aforementioned declines.

Digital Asset co-founder and CEO Yuval Rooz stated at the Token2049 conference in Singapore that the crypto industry should leverage the current regulatory environment to accelerate institutional adoption, believing that the widespread use of blockchain will make it harder for future governments to reverse industry progress. He compared this opportunity to Uber and Airbnb, stating that both companies had established themselves before policymakers effectively restricted them, saying, "By the time people react and decide to legislate against these companies, it will be too late."Rooz indicated that the industry should ensure blockchain is widely used so that no matter what happens in 2028, "there is no turning back." The next U.S. presidential election is scheduled for November 7, 2028, which may bring changes in government and regulatory priorities. This statement comes in the context of the CLARITY Act failing to advance in the Senate procedural vote in September, while the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have been advancing crypto regulation based on existing authority.In the same Token2049 panel discussion, Binance co-CEO Richard Teng expressed hope that the CLARITY Act could still become law, believing that legislation could prevent regulatory backtracking and encourage institutional entry, calling the possibility of reversing current progress the industry's "greatest fear." Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson stated that legislation would provide greater certainty, but the industry should not rely on the passage of the CLARITY Act, as the SEC and CFTC are already working to provide regulatory clarity to sustain innovation and institutional adoption.

He believes that as the broader rotation of on-chain assets is still in its early stages, there may be more new applications and design explorations in the NFT field in the future.

OpenSea Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Chris Maddern posted on the X platform in response to the impact of the security incident involving Magic Eden and Limit Break, emphasizing that OpenSea's systems and smart contracts have not been affected. Currently, the affected ERC-721 NFTs have been marked on OpenSea and cannot be sold.For any newly discovered exploited NFTs, OpenSea will also automatically mark them to restrict attackers from obtaining related offers.

According to monitoring by Blockaid, Limit Break on Ethereum is currently facing ongoing attacks. The attackers are using Limit Break Payment Processor V2 to impersonate NFT holders and purchase authorized NFTs at a zero price. Currently, about 3 transactions have resulted in approximately 1.7 million dollars worth of NFTs being stolen.Blockaid reminds users who have authorized Payment Processor V2 as an NFT Operator to immediately revoke the relevant authorization. Simply canceling orders or Master Nonce will not lift this permission.

The related NFTs are currently stored in an address starting with "0x71cF," and the assets are in a secure state. They will be returned in full once the risk is eliminated.

The Ukrainian police and the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) recently dismantled a scam network that used a fake investment platform to steal cryptocurrency. This network disguised itself as an investment platform website, luring users to connect their main cryptocurrency wallets and approve a small test transaction when withdrawing funds. Subsequently, it used a "wallet stealer" hidden within the website to automatically transfer user funds to wallets controlled by the operators, kicking victims off the platform. Investigators have currently confirmed 62 victims, with over 46 Ukrainian citizens involved, and the network could steal up to $1 million per month.The police stated that the false profits displayed on the platform are part of the scam, with operators manually creating transactions and adjusting user account balances to create the illusion of investment growth. In addition to cryptocurrency, the platform also collected victims' passport information, phone numbers, email addresses, login credentials, and photos during the registration and identity verification process. The main organizer of the network is a 25-year-old IT expert who recruited over 46 Ukrainian citizens and operated multiple offices in Kyiv and surrounding areas, with members responsible for building and maintaining fake websites, contacting potential victims, and providing security.Victims come from multiple countries, including Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Israel. The police traced the gang's server equipment located in the Netherlands and obtained a database stored there, which included a list of victims, cryptocurrency wallet addresses, suspected stolen amounts, internal communications, and platform operation information. The Ukrainian police and SBU subsequently executed 34 searches in Kyiv and surrounding areas, seizing over 100 computers, more than 100 mobile phones, 79 SIM cards, documents, cash, and 15 vehicles.

Bitget CFD Chief Analyst Lewis Huang stated in a live broadcast that this week’s U.S. PCE data and the Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Annual Meeting will become the market focus. The market is not only concerned about whether the Federal Reserve will adjust interest rates but will also pay close attention to how it responds to inflation remaining above the 2% target, high long-term Treasury yields, and fiscal pressures.Lewis Huang pointed out that if the core PCE is higher than expected and the Federal Reserve signals a continuation of tightening or emphasizes anti-inflation measures, U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar may receive support, while interest rate-sensitive assets like gold and the Nasdaq 100 may come under pressure. Conversely, if inflation data cools and officials express a tendency to retain policy flexibility, the market may re-evaluate future easing space, benefiting gold, non-U.S. currencies, and growth-oriented stock indices. This PCE data is generally in line with expectations, and the market focus has shifted to the Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Annual Meeting.In addition, the situation in the Middle East and risks in the Strait of Hormuz may still push up oil prices and inflation expectations. Traders should closely observe the U.S. dollar index, U.S. 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields, and the correlation between gold and oil; after major data releases, it is advisable to wait for further market confirmation of direction to avoid using high leverage to chase the initial wave of trends.

DecodeMarkets cites the views of Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee in Thursday's Macro Minute, stating that the first phase of AI trading is focused on upstream areas, including semiconductors, memory, and infrastructure, with related assets experiencing significant increases and entering a correction. The current market focus is shifting downstream, with software, application layers, and ETH beginning to receive more attention.Tom Lee indicated that Ethereum has undergone the anticipated significant cooling, but its fundamental narrative continues to strengthen, covering stablecoins, asset tokenization, institutional adoption, and future AI agents completing transactions on-chain. Capital may be shifting from building infrastructure to holding the underlying tracks where the next wave of activity will occur, thus still in the early stages.He pointed out that ETH prices have begun to show some performance, but market positions have not yet caught up, with most portfolios still not allocated to ETH.
