According to The Defiant, the tokenized credit fund HINC launched by Securitize in collaboration with Neuberger is now live on the Solana lending protocol Loopscale as collateral, allowing qualified investors to borrow USDG stablecoins without redeeming their holdings. HINC was launched on August 18 on Avalanche, Ethereum, Solana, and Sui, primarily holding assets such as high-yield corporate bonds, CLO tranches, and bank loans, with a minimum subscription of $100,000 and a fee rate of 0.6%, available only to qualified investors and qualified purchasers.Mary Gooneratne, co-founder of Loopscale, stated that HINC brings a fundamentally different type of collateral to the Solana credit market, supporting actively managed high-yield strategies that indicate on-chain lending can surpass crypto-native assets and short-duration instruments. RedStone uses its Trusted Single Source Oracle standard to price HINC, publishing the manager's daily NAV in a signed, timestamped, on-chain format for protocol verification and triggering liquidation events. Loopscale currently has a TVL of approximately $91.3 million and active loans of $55.9 million, ranking 27th on DefiLlama.HINC is the third Securitize product to go live on the protocol, following Apollo's tokenized credit fund ACRED and Securitize's own publicly listed stock SECZ on the NYSE as collateral.

According to Decrypt, the Gwangju Police Agency in South Korea arrested four Uzbek suspects in April under the Anti-Terrorism Financing Act and disclosed the case on Tuesday. One of them is listed on Interpol's Red Notice. The police stated that this is the first case involving cryptocurrency flowing out from a recognized terrorist organization and then being funneled back to fund physical goods.According to police investigations, from August 2024 to April 2025, the alleged mastermind transferred 4,267 USDT to the Syrian terrorist organization "Katibat Tawhid wal Jihad" (KTJ) in seven transactions. KTJ was established in 2014 and is mainly composed of Central Asian militants, recognized as a terrorist organization by the United Nations and the United States.Additionally, the mastermind is accused of receiving cryptocurrency from KTJ to purchase 11 used cars and 2 excavators, with a total value of approximately 170 million Korean won (about 121,000 USD), which were then shipped to Syria. The other three suspects are alleged to have assisted in the purchase and export of these vehicles.The police stated that previous terrorism-related cases mostly involved remittances to terrorist organizations, while this case is the first instance of receiving funds from a terrorist organization and reverse procuring and supplying vehicles.Investigations revealed that the mastermind rotated operations among three personal wallets, with the vehicle purchase funds deposited into an account under his spouse's name, and he presented someone else's driver's license when arrested. He entered South Korea in 2017 on a student visa, graduated from a university in Daejeon, and has been illegally residing since 2023. He denied the main charges during his first court hearing in June, claiming that the remittances were for family living expenses and that he did not know the identity of the vehicle purchasers. The police stated that the investigation also led to the capture of a second suspect listed on the Red Notice, and the case is still ongoing.

Bitget CFD Chief Analyst Lewis Huang stated that the hawkish remarks made by Powell at the Jackson Hole global central bank conference have shifted the market's focus from whether there will be a rate hike in September to the possibility that the Federal Reserve may maintain high interest rates for a longer period before inflation clearly falls back to the 2% target, and even retain the option for further tightening of policies.Lewis Huang pointed out that if subsequent CPI, PCE, and employment data continue to be strong, the U.S. 2-year Treasury yield and the dollar index may remain strong, putting continued pressure on gold from the dual forces of rising real interest rates and a strengthening dollar, which may also amplify the volatility of high-valuation tech stocks like the Nasdaq 100.Conversely, if inflation significantly cools and the labor market weakens, the market may lower its rate hike expectations, leading to a decline in the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields, providing support for gold and growth stocks.He added that besides the Federal Reserve's policy statements, traders should also pay attention to whether the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield is influenced by factors such as fiscal deficits, Treasury supply, and rising term premiums.Before and after the release of major data, it is recommended to moderately control leverage and assess market direction based on the interrelationship between the dollar, U.S. Treasury yields, gold, and stock indices.

BSC and 0G ecosystem AI economic infrastructure project NeoSoul announced that its general intelligent trading workstation NeoTrade has launched the trading Skill Builder. Users only need to describe their trading ideas or trading styles in a conversation, and the system can generate the corresponding trading Skill, automatically completing the configuration and verification of strategy parameters such as time period, market focus, position, and order method.In the past, traders needed to turn their trading ideas into strategies that Agents could execute sustainably, which often required writing trading logic and setting parameters item by item. The Skill Builder centralizes the process into a conversation window, allowing users to describe their core trading ideas in natural language, and then gradually refine the strategy through continuous dialogue. During the conversation, NeoTrade will configure specific conditions based on user requirements and write each modification in real-time into the Skill. Once the strategy is complete, the system will automatically perform parameter verification, and the generated Skill can be saved and reused.Kaelan, co-founder of NeoSoul, stated that turning trading judgments into rules that Agents can execute has always been one of the most time-consuming steps in creating trading Agents. The Skill Builder incorporates this step into a single conversation, where users first clarify how they want to trade, and the system is responsible for completing the structuring, parameter configuration, and verification.

The cryptocurrency exchange platform Binance saw an inflow of funds reaching $15.7 billion in August, setting a monthly record and accounting for over 75% of the total inflow to all centralized exchanges. During the same period, the price of Bitcoin rose over 20%, surpassing $80,000, driving an increase in exchange trading volume.Binance Research pointed out that $15.7 billion is approximately 8.4 times that of the second-largest exchange by positive inflow, with Bybit and OKX ranking among the three exchanges with concentrated liquidity. The inflow to smaller platforms is more dispersed. Additionally, Binance faces accusations in the European Union for accepting local users without obtaining a license under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).

Greeks.live researcher Adam stated: "I see some people discussing the Strategy to restart buying coins. This short-term stimulus does not affect the long-term trend, and the Strategy is also a big trap. BTC now has no possibility of market manipulation, and no one can predict the trend. It can only be said that after the Strategy has floating profits, there is more room to buy coins. Looking at the long term, the overall ETF is still flowing out, and it is very difficult to stabilize at $80,000, with significant selling pressure.On the macro front, whether it is the Federal Reserve's hawkish remarks or the escalation of the US-Iran conflict, both are challenging the already fragile investors. The short-term volatility is decreasing rapidly, and it is difficult to support a bull market with just one bullish candle. I hope that after a slight correction, it can reach above $85,000; otherwise, arbitrageurs and sellers will create significant selling pressure. The Gex at the end of the month is gathering, and we need to maintain this momentum."
