Among these, follow-on financing rounds, where family offices continued to invest in companies they already hold, accounted for 27% of the transaction count. This indicates that, compared to continuing to invest in existing projects, family offices are more active in seeking and investing in new projects. The most active institution in August was a16z Perennial.a16z Perennial was established in 2022 and is a joint family office under the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, providing wealth management and investment services for its core partners Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, as well as the entrepreneurs they support. As of the end of 2025, a16z Perennial manages approximately 2.74 billion USD in regulated assets.

Due to the strong privacy of family office investments, it is usually difficult to obtain the specific investment amount of a single family office in each transaction.

According to PRNewswire, Tom Lee, Chairman of the Bitcoin treasury company Bitmine, stated that during historical cryptocurrency bull market cycles, the ETH/BTC ratio typically rises as Ethereum's usage increases compared to Bitcoin, such as during the NFT boom of 2020-2021 and the stablecoins of 2025, both of which have been significant catalysts for the growth of Ethereum applications. In the next cycle, Wall Street's tokenization of assets and deployment on the blockchain, along with the use of Agentic AI on the blockchain, may further drive the ETH/BTC ratio higher.Since the third quarter of 2026, ETH has been the best-performing macro asset, outperforming the S&P 500 index by 5430 basis points as of last Friday; the three best-performing asset classes since June 30 have been ETH, BTC, and SOL, with cryptocurrency assets showing significant outperformance compared to other macro assets so far in the third quarter, which is expected to further attract institutions to increase their allocation to cryptocurrency assets.Tom Lee added that as we enter the last few months of 2026, the crypto market faces several positive catalysts, including the anticipated vote on the CLARITY Act in mid-September, South Korean investors re-entering the crypto market and shifting from AI stocks to cryptocurrencies, and what he believes will be a bottoming out of the "four-year cycle" in the coming weeks. These factors may pave the way for a large influx of institutional funds in the last few months of 2026.

Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua stated that, reflecting on his observations since entering the cryptocurrency industry at the end of 2015, the choice of direction is crucial aside from personal efforts. He believes that the groups that can achieve long-term results more easily in the cryptocurrency industry mainly include three categories.One category is the holders of BTC / ETH / BNB, including mining, holding coins, and mining pools, which is a time compound interest return. Another category is those involved in trading infrastructure, including quantitative arbitrage, trading platforms, and stablecoins. The last category is projects and market makers, which belong to asset issuance and asset control.Yi Lihua also mentioned that investors and contract players overall experience more failures than successes; the model is similar to that of hunters, where one must go out to hunt every day to have something to eat, with low compound returns amidst high risks.

The National Assembly Budget Office of South Korea released a report stating that stablecoins could save South Korean merchants between 370 billion and 5.15 trillion Korean won (approximately 275 million to 3.8 billion USD) in payment processing fees each year. The report also warned that the widespread adoption of stablecoins could weaken banks' role as credit intermediaries and disrupt token pegs during large-scale redemptions. It suggested introducing reserve requirements, limiting stablecoin rewards, and strengthening regulation of tokens that may threaten financial stability. Regarding the issuance rights of stablecoins, there are differences between the Bank of Korea and the Financial Services Commission: the Bank of Korea prefers issuance to be dominated by bank-controlled issuers (holding at least 51%), while the Financial Services Commission believes excessive restrictions may hinder innovation. In addition, South Korea plans to expand the scope of tokenized securities by February 2027, with subsequent phases connecting blockchain-based securities markets to stablecoin payment infrastructure. A study released by the Bank of Korea earlier this month also found that directly trading USD stablecoins with local currency on Binance could depress the local currency exchange rate.

Three resolutions issued in November 2025 require any institution allowing customers to trade, hold, or send cryptocurrencies to obtain a license, meet minimum capital requirements, and segregate customer accounts, with a compliance deadline of October 30, 2026.

According to CoinDesk, the Polish prosecutor's office has charged Roman Ż., a former business partner of the missing BitBay/Zondacrypto founder Sylwester Suszek, with two counts, including fraud.Roman Ż. was arrested last Saturday in the Silesia region of Poland, and his lawyer stated that he had assisted in managing the exchange before BitBay was renamed Zonda. Roman Ż. denies the charges and has provided a detailed statement to investigators, with police seizing valuable watches and documents related to Zondacrypto during the search.The prosecutor's office stated that the arrest was ordered due to concerns that Roman Ż. would flee upon learning of plans to travel to China, with his lawyer describing the trip as a business trip and stating that he held a return ticket for September 13. The court will decide whether to continue detaining Roman Ż. during the investigation.Previously, BitBay was renamed Zondacrypto in 2021, and the exchange ceased trading in April, following customer withdrawal freezes, with estimated losses of at least 35 million zlotys (approximately 9.4 million USD). The Estonian Financial Intelligence Unit partially suspended the license of the brand entity BB Trade Estonia OÜ.
