Zhao Changpeng appeared on the podcast "Meanders." Zhao Changpeng stated that if he were to redo a global cryptocurrency trading platform in 2017, the first principle would be to avoid U.S. users. Their definition of centralized financial platforms is: if you have U.S. users, you need to be subject to U.S. regulation and obtain a license in the U.S. This is not 100% enforced in the U.S., but they have the right and the ability to do so.Additionally, contracts might be developed a bit earlier. Even some other financial products could potentially be developed a bit earlier, and financial products would be more comprehensive. Communication with regulators might be more thorough. Binance is currently the trading platform that communicates the most with regulators, but the coverage is still somewhat lacking. Moreover, if you really want to do this, the cost is very high. It's not just a matter of money; you need to hire good people, spend a lot of time, and invest a lot of time managing this matter.

The sandwich attack bot operated by JaredfromSubway.eth has extracted a total of 117,007 ETH since March 2023, amounting to approximately $295 million at current prices. In June 2026, an anonymous attacker deployed 66 counterfeit token contracts, using the bot's automated trading logic to steal at least $7.5 million in ETH and stablecoins, transferring the funds to Tornado Cash; the related assets have not yet been recovered.Sandwich attacks are a form of Maximum Extractable Value (MEV): the bot monitors large transactions in the Ethereum public mempool, buys before the target transaction, and sells after the transaction drives up the price, extracting profits from the price difference. As of August 28, the main contract of the bot has received a total of 117,007 ETH.MEV-Boost block construction is concentrated among a few participants, with relay.ultrasound.money, Titan Relay, and bloXroute relays forwarding approximately 85% to 88% of the relevant blocks within a 24-hour window; Titan's builders independently assemble 50.3% of the blocks. The monthly extraction amount from sandwich attacks has decreased from about $10 million at the end of 2024 to about $2.5 million in October 2025.

BitMine Chairman Tom Lee stated on CNBC that after Nvidia announced strong performance, its stock price rose, breaking the previous trend where positive earnings reports struggled to drive stock prices, indicating that investors still value the company's fundamentals. Software stocks like Salesforce, CrowdStrike, and Okta also strengthened, reflecting a positive market response to downstream AI transactions, with an overall healthy market reaction.Regarding the weak performance of AI-related stocks such as Meta, Amazon, Alphabet, AMD, and Micron, Tom Lee believes that some investors may have previously underweighted Nvidia and might need to sell other tech stocks to raise funds for increasing their Nvidia holdings. He pointed out that Nvidia's earnings expectations have been significantly raised, but the stock price has not fully caught up, and the price-to-earnings ratio is still contracting, with the current valuation remaining relatively low.Tom Lee also mentioned that data center construction is gradually becoming a political issue in the U.S. midterm elections. Even some Republican-led states and states supporting data center development are beginning to consider pausing related projects, which may be one reason for the recent poor performance of AI infrastructure-related stocks, with more funds shifting towards downstream AI targets.

According to The Block, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the prediction market platform Kalshi failed to prove that federal regulations take precedence over Nevada's regulatory authority over sports betting, and Kalshi is not entitled to an injunction.Previously, the Nevada Gaming Control Board had issued a cease and desist order to Kalshi, requiring it to stop conducting contract trading related to elections and sporting events in the state, threatening to initiate criminal or civil proceedings. Subsequently, Kalshi sued the Gaming Control Board and the state, seeking a preliminary injunction to prevent Nevada from regulating its trading of sports and election event contracts. The district court initially granted the injunction but later revoked it following a ruling against Crypto.com. However, the appellate court stated on Friday: "We find that Kalshi has failed to demonstrate that the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) likely takes precedence over state gaming regulations when applied to its sports event contracts, and we also find that the district court's decision to revoke the injunction did not abuse its discretion." The panel of judges stated: "The en banc court finds that the Commodity Exchange Act likely does not take precedence over Nevada's gaming regulations when applied to Kalshi's sports event contracts."
