More Markets lending reserve drained for $9.3M: Blockaid

Decentralized finance (DeFi) vault infrastructure protocol More Markets had a lending reserve drained of about $9.3 million in digital assets on Flow EVM, according to Web3 security platform Blockaid.  The attacker drained about 15.5 million Wrapped Flow (WFLOW) tokens, valued by Blockaid at approximately $9.3 million, from the mFlowWFLOW lending reserve, according to blockchain data shared by Blockaid in a Monday X post.  Blockaid said the attacker used Ankr Staked FLOW (ankrFLOW), a liquid staking token, alongside E-mode to overborrow from the reserve.  E-mode, short for efficiency mode, is an Aave V3 feature that increases borrowing power for assets whose prices are expected to move together, such as a liquid staking token and its underlying asset.  The exploit pushed total losses from cryptocurrency hacks to $139.7 million for August, making it the third-largest month by value stolen so far in 2026. However, it marks a significant decrease from $254 million stolen during July, according to DefiLlama data.  On Sunday, Cronos halted its blockchain network after a reported $75 million exploit targeting DeFi lending protocol Tectonic.  More Markets had not publicly confirmed the incident or disclosed whether users suffered losses at the time of publication. Cointelegraph contacted Blockaid for more details but did not receive a response

Real Trump Coins denies launching GOLD token, blames ‘bad actors’

Real Trump Coins has denied launching, promoting or authorizing the Trump Digital GOLD token that briefly appeared across its online presence before collapsing, blaming the promotion on “third-party bad actors.”  The denial came after the Real Trump Coins X account promoted the Solana-based token on Saturday and directed users to RealTrumpCoins.com, where GOLD was also advertised. The X posts were later deleted, while the account now links to a separate domain, TrumpCoins.com.  “Trump Coins has not authorized and will not launch, promote, or authorize any digital token,” Real Trump Coins said in an X post on Saturday, adding that it was working with authorities to investigate the matter.  The statement follows a highly concentrated GOLD launch, with Lookonchain reporting that the developer and newly created wallets controlled 82.45% of its supply. According to the blockchain analytics platform, 15 wallets linked to the team sold their holdings for about $330,000, making an estimated $312,000 profit.  The involvement of both the X account and RealTrumpCoins.com confused crypto observers, with X user Rune questioning how both the account and the domain could have been compromised.  While the Real Trump Coins X account bio linked to TrumpCoins.com, the account was still directing customers to RealTrumpCoins.com as recently as Aug.

Why Is The Crypto Market Down Today?

The crypto market is down 3.10% from Sundays high, trading near $2.59 trillion on Monday, August 31.A double top risk is playing out.  A second rejection near $2.72 trillion has built the shape traders least want to see.  Sponsored  Sponsored  1. Double Top Risk Is Playing Out at $2.72 Trillion  The total crypto market cap stalled near $2.72 trillion twice, once in early May and again last week, when it peaked at $2.71 trillion.

A 36-day staking bottleneck is costing Ethereum depositors over $350,000 in lost rewards daily

More than 2 million ETH is waiting to enter Ethereum staking as the amount already staked reaches a record high.  Related Asset Ethereum #2 ETH · $2,439.48 24-hour change: down 0.72% 24H Down 0.72% 7D Down 0.15% 30D Up 30.65%  Ethereums validator activation queue held 2.059 million ETH at 12:37 UTC on Aug. 30, leaving a deposit joining the back of the line facing an estimated wait of about 35 days and 18 hours.  The backlog comes as more than 42 million ETH, nearly 35% of the cryptocurrency‘s supply, is already staked. Both measures have climbed to record highs, extending a broader increase in capital committed to Ethereum’s proof-of-stake system.  Only 96 ETH was waiting in the validator exit queue at the same snapshot.  That imbalance shows demand for staking capacity remains well above Ethereums ability to activate deposits, even after the entry backlog declined from more than 4 million ETH earlier this year. It also creates a cost for participants because ETH waiting for activation does not yet earn consensus rewards.  At current staking rates, the 2.06 million ETH backlog represents roughly 141 to 148 ETH of potential consensus rewards per day, worth about $348,000 to $366,000 at an ETH price near $2,466.  The estimate represents

Tether CEO backs stablecoins over tokenized deposits as BIS raises risks

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has challenged the Bank for International Settlements preference for tokenized bank deposits, arguing that fully reserved stablecoins give users a stronger alternative to money held under fractional reserve banking.  SummaryTether CEO Paolo Ardoino challenged the BIS preference for tokenized bank deposits, arguing that fully reserved stablecoins offer users a safer alternative.BIS chief Pablo Hernández de Cos said stablecoins face problems with redeemability, interoperability, financial integrity and monetary sovereignty.Ardoino questioned why savers would keep money in fractional reserve products when stablecoins can hold reserves in liquid assets such as U.S. Treasuries.The debate has reached U.S. lawmakers as banking groups warn that stablecoin rewards could pull deposits from banks and reduce funds available for lending.  The Bank for International Settlements laid out the case for tokenized deposits on Aug. 28, when General Manager Pablo Hernández de Cos told the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium that stablecoins still fall short of several properties needed to function as money at scale. Ardoino responded by questioning why savers would choose bank deposits when stablecoins can hold reserves in highly liquid assets such as U.S. Treasuries.  “BIS is rightfully worried about the fact that stablecoins are exposing the emperor without clothes,” Ardoino said. “Why someone should

SOL Price Prediction: Momentum Stalls at $103 — Either $110 or $96 Within 10 Days

The macro structure is clean — SOL is trading over $21 above its 20-day SMA and a full $21 above both its 50 and 200-day moving averages. Thats a trend in good standing. This isnt a position you short blindly. But the near-term setup is where the nuance lives, and right now the near-term setup is flashing a hard warning.  The MACD histogram has printed exactly zero. Not slightly bullish, not slightly bearish — flat. After a rally of this magnitude from the $81 support zone, a momentum engine that has completely stopped expanding is not a neutral non-event. Its a market saying the buying pressure that drove this leg up has been fully matched by emerging supply. The MACD line and signal line converging to a dead tie at 7.51 after a sustained push higher is textbook deceleration, not consolidation.  The RSI at 68.75 tells the same story with a different voice. It‘s knocking on the overbought door without the conviction to kick it open. Meanwhile, the Stochastic at 78.22 for %K and 62.58 for %D is already in the process of crossing — a classic short-term momentum fade signal when it occurs at elevated levels.

Four things worth knowing before choosing a Solana DEX

On Aug. 21, 2026, decentralized exchanges across the chains tracked by DeFiLlama processed about $10.5 billion in spot volume over 24 hours.  SummarySolana handled about $48.5 billion in monthly decentralized exchange volume, according to DeFiLlama data reviewed.Five leading venues generated roughly 62% of daily volume, showing liquidity remained highly concentrated overall.Low network fees support frequent trading, but priority auctions can raise execution costs during congestion.AMMs, order books and hybrid venues offer different tradeoffs involving depth, transparency, execution and custody.Traders should examine pair-specific depth, slippage, incentives and custody arrangements before routing large orders onchain.  Solana accounted for roughly $2.8 billion. The picture was similar over 30 days: $48.5 billion of the markets $181.2 billion total, or just under 27%.  Two venues generated about one-third of Solanas daily spot volume. Source: DeFiLlama, Aug. 21, 2026.  That is a large share for one layer-1 network, but the headline figure does not tell traders where they can get a reliable fill.  Aggregate volume measures how much value changed hands, not where usable liquidity sits. On the same day, PumpSwap processed about $485 million, BisonFi $466 million, Orca $307 million, Raydium $260 million and Manifest $218 million. Together, those five venues handled roughly $1.74 billion, or 62% of Solanas total.

Polygon fixes validator security flaws with Austin and Kyoto forks

Polygon Labs has patched several security flaws across its proof-of-stake network through two coordinated hard forks, including a vulnerability that could have forced the full validator set to perform costly processing from a single crafted transaction.  Polygons Validators Support Team disclosed the fixes in an Aug. 27 forum post after the Austin and Kyoto hard forks had already been tested and activated. The team said consensus-affecting security fixes were deployed privately, validated on the Amoy testnet and disclosed only after the mainnet fleet was protected.  The vulnerabilities affected Bor, Polygon PoSs execution client, and Heimdall, which handles validator coordination and other consensus functions. Polygon said it found no evidence that any of the issues had been exploited or caused disruption on mainnet.  Polygon hard forks close block processing flaws  The Austin hard fork upgraded Bor to version 2.10.0 and addressed two denial-of-service paths tied to block processing.  One involved state-sync events used for L1-to-L2 bridge deposits. Such events can execute contract code and precompiles, but their execution was not subject to an effective per-block gas bound. Austin introduced a limit on how much gas state-sync events can consume within a block, preventing them from exhausting processing resources.  A separate weakness involved TxDependency data used during block

The S&P 500 Failed to Beat Inflation Only 4 Times in 20 Years. Here's the Pattern.

The S&P 500 has gained 13.5% in 2026, outpacing US consumer prices, which rose 3.4% over the 12 months through July.  The trend also holds over the longer term. Historical data show that the index has outpaced US inflation in 16 of the past 20 calendar years.  Sponsored  Sponsored  How the S&P 500 Has Performed Against Inflation  The S&P 500 delivered a 14.76% real return in 2025 after accounting for 2.70% inflation, according to The Kobeissi Letter. The index also recorded strong real returns in the previous two years, gaining 21.47% in 2024 and 22.11% in 2023.  “Stocks have historically been one of the best hedges against inflation,” the post read.  The record is thinner than the count suggests. The four years when stocks failed to beat inflation were 2008, 2011, 2018, and 2022.  Three of those four years ended with inflation below 3%.

Robinhood Chain app revenue tops Ethereum in 24 hours

Robinhood Chain recorded $2.66 million in application revenue over 24 hours on Aug. 31, according to a rolling DeFiLlama dashboard.  SummaryRobinhood Chain recorded $2.66 million in rolling daily app revenue during the cited DeFiLlama snapshot.That snapshot placed Robinhood Chain above Hyperliquid, Ethereum and Base for aggregated application revenue temporarily.GMGN, Pons and Uniswap generated approximately 93% of Robinhood Chains measured daily application revenue combined.Rolling twenty-four-hour figures change continuously as new activity enters and older transactions leave calculation windows.App revenue measures earnings retained by protocols, not revenue received directly by Robinhoods corporate business.  The reading placed the network above Hyperliquid L1 at $1.71 million, Ethereum at $1.57 million and Base at approximately $439,252. Robinhood Chain‘s total was roughly 6.1 times Base’s figure during the same snapshot.  The dashboard had shown lower totals earlier in the day.
