Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee recently expressed the view that Ethereum (ETH) is more like "digital land" rather than cash. Lee believes that the core value of quality assets lies in their ability to store value, meaning that investors believe they can effectively hold and allocate capital over the long term.Lee pointed out that stocks can become store of value assets because investors expect companies to manage capital effectively when they buy stocks; real estate, on the other hand, has both store of value and cash flow properties, generating income through rentals. Within this framework, he believes Ethereum is closer to the stock market or land, with its long-term value primarily derived from the network itself as underlying infrastructure.Bitmine has been increasing its holdings for 65 consecutive weeks. As of August 30, 2026, its total Ethereum holdings reached 5,901,112, accounting for approximately 4.9% of the total Ethereum supply.

According to Apnews, a young cryptocurrency scam gang stole over 4,100 BTC in August 2024 through "social engineering" attacks, which was worth over $240 million at the time.After the theft, gang members quickly began extravagant spending, including purchasing sports cars, renting luxury homes, flying on private jets, and hiring security personnel. Among them, the alleged mastermind, a 22-year-old Singaporean named Malone Lam, reportedly spent over $569,000 in one night at a nightclub in Los Angeles.Investigations revealed that the suspects impersonated employees from Google and the cryptocurrency trading platform Gemini to trick victims into giving up their Google Drive access and security codes, allowing them to transfer the victims' bitcoins. They then moved the funds through multiple trading platforms and money laundering intermediaries. Their lavish lifestyle eventually drew the attention of law enforcement.One suspect was exposed when their IP address was revealed while hiding nearly $30 million in stolen cryptocurrency assets, leading police to trace it back to the luxury home they rented in California. Another suspect was found with $37 million worth of stolen cryptocurrency assets. Lam was accused of using the stolen funds to purchase a $2 million watch and over 30 vehicles including Porsches, Lamborghinis, and Ferraris.Currently, 18 defendants have been charged, and Lam is expected to attend a plea agreement hearing this Tuesday. The U.S. Department of Justice has already issued rulings against several accomplices, and related cases are still ongoing.

According to CoinDesk, Solana plans to activate Transaction v1 this Wednesday, increasing the maximum capacity of a single transaction from 1232 bytes to 4096 bytes, more than tripling it. After the upgrade, complex operations that previously required splitting into multiple transactions are expected to be consolidated into a single transaction, including large cryptographic proofs, multi-signature payments, and certain privacy transfers.Transaction v1 has been running on the Solana testnet and development network, and the existing transaction format can still be used. Wallets and applications will only need to upgrade when larger transaction space is required. However, on-chain data services relied upon by block explorers, wallets, and trading applications need to adapt to the new format; otherwise, they may not be able to correctly read transaction and priority fee information.This upgrade aims to alleviate the structural limitations imposed by Solana's long-standing 1232-byte transaction cap, further enhancing its ability to handle complex applications. The 4096-byte limit references the common 4KB memory page size of validator hardware to avoid excessively large single transactions that increase network and validation node processing costs.
