About 18% of the total Bitcoin stolen in the Coldcard exploit is estimated to have been moved for laundering, while the remaining 82% is still held in the original addresses controlled by the attacker, according to Galaxy Research on X. Galaxy Research said the attacker created 293 2-of-2 multisig vaults during the third attack to hold BTC stolen from individual victims. Of that amount, 45% has so far been moved to the Ethereum network through THORChain (RUNE) or deposited into CoinJoin. Galaxy Research also estimated a newly identified vault is likely tied to victim funds. Including that wallet, the number of vaults linked to the third attack rises to 294, bringing the total amount stolen across the Coldcard exploit to about 1,806 BTC.

The following shows estimated liquidation volumes and position ratios for major crypto perpetual futures over the past 24 hours: - BTC: $34.85 million liquidated (66.15% shorts) - ETH: $52.39 million liquidated (58.69% shorts) - ZEC: $48.65 million liquidated (86.3% shorts)

Two addresses believed to be linked to the Ethena project deposited 19 million ENA worth $3.29 million to Bybit over the past 15 hours, according to on-chain analyst @ai_9684xtpa. Exchange deposits are typically interpreted as being intended for selling. The two addresses had received ENA from an Ethena multisig address around two years ago and had shown little activity before recently starting to move funds to exchanges. As a result, the total value of ENA transferred by Ethena-linked addresses to exchanges over the past three days has risen to $6.75 million.

Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley said capital will shift from U.S. Treasuries into Bitcoin and gold over the next decade. In a post on X, Horsley said, "The narrative of the next 10 years is not flows from gold to BTC. It is flows from U.S. Treasuries to BTC and gold." Before that comment, Bitcoin maximalist Fred Krueger argued that China would sell all of its U.S. Treasury holdings over the next seven years and replace them with gold.

Ethereum-based project Gnome Labs deposited 4,020 ETH worth $9.97 million to Binance nine hours ago, according to on-chain analyst ai_9684xtpa. Exchange deposits are typically interpreted as being intended for selling. The address had withdrawn 6,339 ETH worth $12.02 million from Binance on Aug. 17 at an average price of $1,896.83, and if it sold the latest deposit, the estimated profit would have been about $2.345 million, a 30.7% return.

Figure founder Mike Cagney said on X that blockchain and DeFi offer a fundamentally better structure for asset-based finance, but the shift of the $6 trillion asset-based finance market onchain is still in its early stages. He cited cumbersome UI and UX, a lack of institution-grade secure custody, challenges in managing permissions and audits across multiple wallets and users, regulatory uncertainty, and KYC issues as barriers to traditional finance entering blockchain.

A wallet believed to belong to BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes withdrew an additional 39,000 UNI worth $282,000 from FalconX over the past hour, bringing its UNI holdings to 284,101 tokens valued at about $2.007 million, according to on-chain analyst ai_9684xtpa. The address has an average purchase price of $7.06, and UNI is now the third-largest asset in its on-chain holdings.

A South Korean court ruled that if a custody firm handling cryptocurrency staking goes bankrupt, customers cannot recover their deposited digital assets separately and must instead go through bankruptcy proceedings. According to Digital Asset, Judge Lee Baek-gyu of the Seoul Central District Court on Aug. 19 dismissed a lawsuit filed by a customer, identified only as B, seeking the return of digital assets from the bankruptcy trustee of custody firm A. The court found that digital assets do not qualify as property and that the staking agreement should be treated as an atypical contract similar to a fungible deposit, making the claim subject to bankruptcy proceedings rather than a right of recovery.

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin said computation using SNARKs, a zero-knowledge proof technology, is likely to cost less than 10 times regular computation before 2030. In a post on X, Buterin said he sees a 60% chance that SNARKs, fully homomorphic encryption, and indistinguishability obfuscation can all be implemented at under 10 times the cost of normal computing over the long term. Among the three, SNARKs are the most likely to reach that point before 2030, he said. Buterin added that new techniques to improve computational efficiency in SNARKs and fully homomorphic encryption have been emerging rapidly, with especially notable progress in methods that process multiple computations at once. Over a longer horizon, he said he sees a 33% chance that all three technologies will advance to the point where their costs are nearly the same as those of regular computation.

Pro-crypto Republican U.S. Sen. Cynthia Lummis argued that if the CLARITY Act fails to pass during the current congressional session, the next chance to advance a crypto market structure bill like it may not come until 2030. In a post on X, Lummis used the English phrase "if we don't pass this bill now" and stressed the U.S. would lose for years an opportunity to create jobs, attract investment and secure tax revenue. Meanwhile, the U.S. Senate is set to hold a cloture vote on Sept. 15 to move forward with debate on the bill. The measure will need 60 votes to pass.

Ethereum’s price relative to the Nasdaq 100 has broken above a level it had failed to clear since 2022, marking a bullish turn for the first time in about four years, according to Real Vision crypto market analyst Jamie Coutts on X. Coutts said the weekly ETH/NDX ratio, which divides ETH’s price by the Nasdaq 100 index, had moved above 0.087. He added that when a similar pattern last appeared in 2019, ETH went on to post its biggest gains on record relative to tech stocks. Amid recent net inflows into ETH ETFs, Coutts said the launch of Robinhood Chain is also supporting strength in DeFi, adding that crypto’s dormant giant is waking up.

A National Assembly petition calling for a two-year delay to digital-asset taxation has drawn more than 32,000 signatures, Digital Asset reported. The petition needs 50,000 signatures to be referred to a relevant standing committee, leaving 18,000 more endorsements needed by Sept. 20. The petition argues for a two-year delay because implementing the tax could sharply reduce exchange revenue, which in turn could lead to a steep drop in corporate tax receipts. A separate petition calling for the abolition of the tax was previously referred to a standing committee after surpassing 50,000 signatures in May. The government is currently pushing for digital-asset taxation to proceed as scheduled in January 2027, while the People Power Party opposes the move, citing inadequate infrastructure.

Hyperliquid developer Hyperlabs transferred 433,000 unstaked HYPE to 11 new addresses, AmberCN reported. The tokens were worth about $38.14 million. Hyperlabs is currently unstaking and moving more than 400,000 HYPE each month, roughly in line with the monthly staking rewards generated by its holdings.

Harmony has proposed ending operations of its mainnet and migrating its ONE token to Ethereum, The Block reported. The project cited threats from hackers and AI agents as the backdrop to the move.
