ONDO faces fresh $1.4M Coinbase supply: Can exchange outflows protect $0.345？

Ondo [$ONDO] faced renewed supply concerns after its team-linked wallet deposited 4.019 million tokens worth roughly $1.4 million into Coinbase.　　The wallet had received 20 million $ONDO one day before making the exchange-bound transfer. Part of that newly received allocation moved directly into an environment where holders could access market liquidity.　　However, the transaction did not confirm a sale, since exchange deposits alone cannot establish the wallets eventual action. The wallet also retained most of the 20 million $ONDO allocation after transferring only 4.019 million tokens.　　Still, the Coinbase destination increased the relevance of the movement for $ONDOs near-term exchange supply.　　Broader market flows presented a different picture, however, with exchange withdrawals continuing to offset incoming supply.　　$1.09 million outflows counter fresh supply　　Broader $ONDO flows had leaned toward withdrawals, creating a notable contrast with the team-linked Coinbase deposit.　　Spot netflows reached approximately -$1.09 million on the 9th of August, meaning withdrawals exceeded exchange inflows during that session.　　The latest $1.4 million team-linked deposit, however, exceeded August 9s net outflow in nominal value.　　Yet, sustained negative netflows could gradually absorb additional exchange-bound supply if withdrawals continued across subsequent sessions. The balance, therefore, depends on persistence rather than a single daily reading.　　Source: CoinGlassCan the 0.618 Fib protect $ONDO？　　$ONDO had retraced

In a security advisory, the firm noted that all BTCPay versions “prior to 2.4.2, including 2.4.2 release candidates” were vulnerable to the attack.　　“The vulnerability allowed an attacker to obtain LND admin macaroon credentials from affected instances and use them to access connected LND wallets,” the project wrote on X.　　In other words, a security flaw let attackers steal the master access keys from certain Bitcoin payment servers, giving them full control over any linked Lightning wallets.

Bitwise CIO: Bitcoin to End Year 'Significantly Higher'

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan expects Bitcoin to finish the year significantly higher.　　Ethereum Price Analysis　　“Bad news has stopped moving the market, Hougan said. ”The sellers are gone. When bad news stops moving the market, that marks the bottom, he added.　　Hougan also argued that institutional exposure to Bitcoin has continued to grow.　　According to the Bitwise executive, the amount of Bitcoin allocated by institutions under a conventional 1% portfolio-allocation framework has effectively risen to between 4% and 5%.　　Bitcoins largest holders are accumulating again　　In the meantime, data from blockchain analytics platform Santiment shows that the number of wallets holding at least 10,000 BTC is rebounding to a six-month high.　　According to Santiment, 90 wallets now hold at least 10,000 BTC, representing a net increase of six such wallets over the past eight weeks, or a 7.1% rise.　　At the same time, smaller wallets have been losing their share of Bitcoins supply during August. Santiment attributed some of the resulting retail pessimism to concerns surrounding the recent Coldcard hacks and delays surrounding the Clarity Act.　　Bitcoin supply is increasingly moving toward its largest holders, as the data shows.　　Ethereum Price Analysis　　Diverging takes among trading gurus　　Crypto trader DonAlt is also seeing signs that Bitcoin could be approaching a major move

This BTC cohort has the fastest accumulation rate in 2026

The $BTC cohort holding over 10,000 $BTC in their wallets is the most active buyer in the summer of 2026. Almost all other wallet cohorts remain idle after the initial rush to accumulate in January. 　　The biggest $BTC wallets, holding over 10,000 $BTC, may belong to organizations, ETFs, or the occasional whale. This cohort is closely watched for a sign of an end to the $BTC bear market. The cohort of the largest whales also showed accelerated accumulation in the past few weeks, just as $BTC recovered close to $65,000.　　For the past two months, the addresses holding over 10,000 $BTC accumulated a net 46,420 $BTC, their highest level since March 15. This group of whales also broke its record from March, when large wallets added 23,238 $BTC.　　$BTC whale wallets with over 10,000 coins entered a period of net accumulation in July and August, while other cohorts are still distributing. | Source: Cryptoquant　　At the same time, retail wallets entered a period of distribution. The smallest holders of 0.1 to 1 $BTC distributed 9,700 coins net. This cohort is volatile, often swinging wildly between accumulation and distribution. As of August, small-scale holders are decreasing their exposure, while the top whales are generating

Hidden Text in PDFs Is Hijacking This AI Assistant

In briefSecurity company PromptArmor says the Rovo AI assistant can be steered to exfiltrate data with no human approval, via hidden instructions in an uploaded file, like PDFs.The trick works even when an org disables Rovos web search, because the URL-opening tool stays live.Atlassian, the maker of Rovo, got the report on May 23 and went quiet; two months on, Rovo “remains vulnerable,” the security firm says.　　Remember when black-hat SEOs stuffed web pages with white-on-white keywords—invisible to readers, readable to Google—to game the search rankings？ Hackers are doing the same thing with AI models now. The attacker hides instructions inside a PDF document, the model cant tell the difference between the users words and the planted ones, and it obeys.　　Per PromptArmors disclosure, Rovo—Atlassians agent that reaches across Jira, Confluence, and the rest of your workspace—can be turned into a data pipeline with a single poisoned file. A victim asks Rovo to organize some tickets, uploads a document, and the document is carrying a concealed prompt (for example an instruction written in transparent color and a font at 1pixel in size).　　The eye can‘t see it, but an Agent recognizes that text as another text in the document. That prompt tells Rovo
