Hyperliquid, Pump.fun account for nearly 90% of record $638M crypto buybacks: FT

Decentralized exchange Hyperliquid and memecoin launchpad Pump.fun reportedly accounted for nearly 90% of the record $638 million in token buybacks carried out by cryptocurrency projects so far in 2026.　　Crypto projects spent a record $638 million to repurchase their own cryptocurrencies year-to-date, up from $545 million during the same period in 2025 and $366,000 in 2024, according to Allium Labs data cited by the Financial Times in a Monday report. Of the $638 million, Hyperliquid accounted for roughly $370 million and Pump.fun for nearly $200 million.　　Token buybacks are similar to share buybacks by publicly listed companies, which buy back their own stock to support their share prices and increase returns for existing shareholders.　　While token buybacks are still rare in the crypto industry, more companies are taking advantage of the move. On Thursday, the Ethena Foundation opened a vote on a fee-switch proposal under which 95% of the net revenue paid to it from Ethenas core business lines would be used to repurchase Ethena (ENA) tokens. The ENA token rose 10.7% on the day after the proposal.　　Crypto project spend on token buybacks, year-to-date leading up to Aug. 25.

Your Crypto Wallet Could Replace Your Credit Score — Coinbase's CEO Thinks So

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said onchain reputation will soon replace traditional credit scores. He named the FICO score, the three-digit rating behind 90% of top United States lending decisions.　　Armstrong was replying to Base creator Jesse Pollak, who had highlighted the rapid progress of undercollateralized onchain credit. Base is Coinbases Ethereum layer-2 network.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　Why Onchain Reputation Could Replace Credit Scores　　FICO scores run from 300 to 850. Payment history and total debt drive 65% of the number. Credit bureaus own the inputs, and borrowers see little of the method.　　Onchain reputation will be the new FICO score https://t.co/NMG56Ymv9k　　— Brian Armstrong (@brian_armstrong) August 31, 2026　　Brian Armstrong.

Therefore, any lender can read the same record.　　Collateral still rules crypto credit, however. Galaxy Research found crypto lending fell 17% to $56.16 billion in the second quarter of this year.　　Coinbase kept building anyway. The exchange expanded its Coinbase crypto lending push in February, with collateral behind every loan.　　Meanwhile, DeFi has shifted toward curated risk, with DeFi lending strategy layers packaging exposure into managed vaults.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　What a Wallets History Can and Cannot Prove　　Bitcoin (BTC) shows both sides of the idea.

Crypto September Financial Calendar: Regulatory Double Whammy + Rate-Hike Triple Play — A Preview of September’s “Crypto Bloodbath”

Bitcoin closed August with a gain of approximately 24% (Binance data). Even by bull-market standards, that is a top-tier monthly performance. As a result, the market went directly from deserted and lifeless trading conditions to a sudden return of bullish greed, with the Fear 40,000 | Estimated probability: ~25%　　If employment growth falls significantly short of expectations—or turns negative again—it would reinforce signs of a weakening labor market. Expectations for the Fed to maintain an accommodative stance would rise, potentially allowing Bitcoin to extend its rebound.　　Scenario 2: Data meets expectations　　New jobs: 50,000–70,000 | Estimated probability: ~55%　　If payroll growth lands within the consensus range of roughly 55,000–65,000, the “low hiring, low firing” environment would continue. The market would likely maintain its current rate-hike expectations—around 57%—and Bitcoin could experience short-term whipsaw volatility in both directions.　　Scenario 3: Data unexpectedly comes in strong　　New jobs 80,000 | Estimated probability: ~20%　　A stronger-than-expected employment report would further reinforce market pricing for a September Fed rate hike, potentially pushing Treasury yields higher and putting pressure on risk assets.

Crypto Laundromat Smashed: FBI and Australian Police Crush Global Cyber Syndicate

The U.S. Embassy in Australia and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have publicly announced the completion of a joint operation with the Australian Federal Police that dismantled an international crypto laundering operation serving a global cybercrime syndicate.　　Washington is positioning the case as a demonstration of law enforcement agencies ability to deanonymize and seize cryptocurrency and other assets anywhere in the world.　　How two young Australians created a global problem for 1,000 companies and the FBI　　Two local residents have been taken into custody in Perth, Western Australia: 21-year-old Reuben Ian Thomson and 23-year-old Louis Michael Gebler.

Tectonic Cronos: CRO Price Reacts to $75M Exploit Halt

CRO is trading near $0.05636, down 4.89% on the day, as the Cronos network digests one of its messiest weekends in recent memory following the exploitation of the Tectonic Cronos DeFi platform, which halted the entire chain.　　Cronos confirmed Sunday (August 30) that it identified an exploit targeting Tectonic, a decentralized lending protocol built on the chain, and paused the network in response. Tectonic separately warned users not to interact with the protocol.　　We identified an exploit in Tectonic.　　The Cronos Network has been halted and well provide updates here　　— Cronos Network (@CronosNetwork) August 30, 2026　　Researcher Weilin Li said the attacker exploited TONIC‘s 20% collateral factor and thin liquidity, pumping the governance token 100-fold in 20 minutes before borrowing against it, a pump-and-borrow style attack. Li’s estimate of losses has climbed from $66M to roughly $75M as additional attacker-controlled wallets surfaced.　　Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek said the exchange and app were unaffected, easing some of the contagion fears.

XRPL consensus freezes after removing just 12% of central nodes – but a simple tweak triples XRP defense

A new XRP Ledger study says two or three extra peer connections per participating node can sharply raise the number of nodes a targeted attack must remove to disrupt modeled consensus.　　Related Asset XRP #5 XRP · $1.38 24-hour change: down 0.86% 24H Down 0.86% 7D Down 6.90% 30D Up 29.90%　　XRPL consensus depends on enough trusted validators receiving one another‘s messages. A separate peer-to-peer network carries those messages between servers, so extra routes could keep validator traffic moving if an attack removes the network’s busiest hubs.　　The Aug. 26 arXiv paper tests random K-out augmentation. K is the number of new undirected edges each participating node creates to peers chosen uniformly at random.　　At 60% participation and K=2, the models quorum critical attack size rose from 11% to 38% when removals targeted the highest-degree nodes. Under an attack ordered by betweenness centrality, which prioritizes nodes that sit on many shortest paths, the threshold rose from 12% to 33%.　　The second change is 2.75 times the baseline. The metric measures the simulated share of nodes removed before fewer than 80% of the models validators remain together in one connected component. Observed attack cost remains unknown.　　At 80% and 100% participation, K=3 matched or exceeded the modeled

Bullish Zone: XRP Ledger Prints 200% Increase, With 103% Surge in Volume

A unique combination of network metrics is being produced by XRP Ledger, with some indicators rising by about 200% while a number of headline activity metrics are sharply declining. The divergence implies that rather than increasing generally, activity has become more concentrated.　　Activity stays up　　Active users, which increased by 211% to roughly 498,200, have the highest reading. Transactions per ledger reached 191.68 after an additional 191.3% increase.　　XRP/USDT Chart by TradigView　　When taken as a whole, these numbers demonstrate how much more activity is being packed into the ledgers that the network is currently closing. Additionally, payment activity continues to be reasonably robust. At roughly 540,700, the number of payments rose by 5%. The remainder of the picture, though, is far less consistently optimistic.　　Successful transactions decreased by 31.3% to 697,300, while total transactions fell by 42.7% to 771,300. Newly created accounts fell 85.2% to just 340, while active accounts fell 73.1% to about 3,800. Another significant contradiction is the volume of payments.　　The total payment volume decreased by 89.2% to approximately 45.2 million XRP, even though the number of payments increased. Transaction fees also dropped by 79.3%, which caused XRP to soar. Therefore, the 200% or higher spikes should not be taken as proof
