Blockworks Research analyst Shaunda Devens stated that cryptocurrency will remain the best speculative market, as prices and demand will mutually reinforce each other. In stocks, price increases do not directly affect the underlying business; for example, once Apple's stock price reaches a certain level, the price-to-earnings ratio relative to the same income base appears unreasonable.It points out that this is not the case with cryptocurrency; the token business is largely tied to financial asset speculation, where higher prices directly lead to more trading and leverage demand, resulting in increased protocol revenue. Last week, despite tokens rising by as much as 60%, 10 out of 16 sectors saw revenue growth exceeding price increases; perpetual contract revenue rose by 243%, while the corresponding price only increased by 43%. Therefore, tokens do not have a true value ceiling in the short term, and mechanisms such as buybacks and DAT further reinforce this reflexive cycle.

EthHub founder Eric Conner stated that he has written a new ERC proposal, ERC-8391, aimed at providing an asset status interface for tokenized stocks and RWAs. Tokenized stocks can be traded on-chain around the clock, but the New York Stock Exchange is only open for 32.5 hours a week. Smart contracts find it difficult to distinguish whether outdated prices are due to the weekend market closure or due to price feed failures or a company being acquired during the market closure; both scenarios have the same on-chain bytes, but the correct responses are opposite. Information such as trading halts, price locks, and redemption windows cannot be reflected in the price.This standard will regulate the queryable issues of contracts, covering market phases, trading halts, valuation activity, and redemption windows. Oracles can feed data into it, and tokens will respond.

Virtuals Protocol has released a complete operational guide for issuing AI Agent tokens on Solana, covering processes such as identity setup, instant or scheduled launch, token economics, and advanced configurations.The guide introduces the Automated Capital Formation (ACF) automatic financing mechanism, which has raised over $6.8 million; it also supports team pre-purchases, anti-sniping taxes, and directly binding tokens to the Economy OS-driven AI Agent. After the token launch, it will be traded through the Meteora DBC pool, with a 1% transaction fee, of which 70% goes to the creators. After accumulating 42,000 VIRTUAL tokens, the token will automatically graduate and migrate liquidity, with LP locked for 10 years.

NVIDIA officially announced that SpaceXAI will deploy the NVIDIA Vera CPU to accelerate its next-generation agent-based AI applications. Vera is the first CPU specifically built for AI agents, featuring 88 NVIDIA self-developed Olympus cores, utilizing spatial multithreading technology and LPDDR5X high-bandwidth memory, with a bandwidth of up to 1.2TB/s. In scenarios such as agent-based AI, reinforcement learning, and data processing, the task completion speed can be improved by up to 1.8 times compared to x86 CPUs.Mike Nicolls, President of SpaceXAI, stated that the CPU performance and memory bandwidth of Vera are sufficient to support large-scale task orchestration, code execution, and data processing, allowing GPUs to operate at peak efficiency, thus gaining more effective output per watt of computation.SpaceXAI also plans to expand the AI infrastructure behind Grok based on the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform, moving towards gigawatt-level computing capacity. Vera Rubin integrates NVIDIA accelerated computing, NVLink interconnect, Spectrum-X networking, and BlueField data processing technologies, aiming to reduce the cost per token and improve the overall energy efficiency of AI factories.More notably, SpaceXAI will send an optimized version of the Vera Rubin NVL72 system into space, with its first-generation Starmind AI satellite adopting this rack-level architecture, becoming the first iconic deployment of NVIDIA accelerated computing extending from ground data centers to orbital computing.

Arthur Hayes forwarded a detailed airdrop tutorial for his new startup Flop Network, which is divided into four steps:Generate an Ed25519 DID key pair for the AI agent, formatted as did:key:z6Mk..., which will become the agent's identity on-chain and the future airdrop receiving address;Publish the public key to the Technocore registry to allow the network to recognize the identity;The agent signs a check-in message with the private key and sends an HTTP GET request to /lobby;Finally, securely store the private key locally to claim the airdrop share during the Q4 snapshot.Arthur Hayes previously announced on the 19th that he would end his retirement and "come out" to lead Flop Labs, launching the token FLOP. He stated that FLOP will serve as "food for AI Agents," and the project will not conduct a presale or introduce VC, adopting a 100% fair distribution model aimed at creating the currency for the Agentic Economy. More details about the project will be announced later, with a large-scale airdrop expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Stanford Business School Professor Ilya Strebulaev, in collaboration with Blake Jackson, released the 2026 Strebulaev-Jackson Venture Capital Firm Rankings, based on nearly 30 years of data from over 230,000 investments and nearly 13,000 VCs. The research estimates that about 5% of VCs generate approximately 90% of the industry's profits. The top five are Sequoia Capital (10,158 points), Andreessen Horowitz (8,292 points), Accel, DST Global, and Tiger Global. Among them, Parkway Venture Capital (19th place) and Notable (20th place) made it into the top 20, but are not well-known leading brands.The rankings are based on six major factors: discount valuation, dilution adjustment, net profit (after costs), value added (lead investments and board seats), human capital decay (three-and-a-half-year half-life), and credit allocation between institutions and individuals (25% for the investing institution and 75% for the current institution). Of the top 100, 62 are located in California, 19 in New York, and 6 each in Massachusetts and Texas. 21 were established in 2015 or later, and 23 of the best investments are in frontier AI or AI infrastructure companies, with OpenAI listed as the best investment by 4 firms, xAI by 3, and Anthropic and Perplexity by 2 each. The ranking methodology has a correlation of only about 0.27 with the Midas List, with SV Angel investing in about 139 unicorns ranked 31st, and Thrive with only 47 unicorns ranked 8th. This ranking is the result of research by Stanford professors and does not constitute investment advice.

According to CryptoSlate, after the approval of proposal 365, the privacy public chain Secret Network based on Cosmos upgraded to v1.26.0 on August 21, minting approximately 1.079 billion SCRT in a one-time issuance to maintain network operations before SCRT Labs stops support on September 1. After the upgrade, the total supply increased to approximately 1.443 billion, with the absolute balance of original holders remaining unchanged, but their total proportion decreasing to about one-quarter, resulting in a dilution of approximately 75%.The distribution of the new issuance includes: 299 million for the foundation and core development program each, 178 million for the ecological fund, 72 million for advisors, research and development, and validators each, 43 million for builders and relayers, and 44 million for remedial purposes. The v1.26 economic model allows approximately 308.4 million SCRT to be circulated on the first day and sets a continuous inflation rate of 5%. The community previously rejected SCRT Labs' proposal 360 regarding the migration to Arbitrum snapshots.SCRT Labs has indicated that regardless of the voting results, it will end development and related support for this Cosmos-based L1 on September 1. The chain itself has no plans to halt, and subsequent development, infrastructure, and validator participation will need to be undertaken by the community. This new issuance aims to provide resources and incentives for continued operations.

Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich stated that the core logic behind their bullish outlook on Bitcoin is that AI is significantly reducing the production costs of software, content, and analytics, and value will shift towards scarce assets that cannot be infinitely increased.The supply cap of 21 million Bitcoins is guaranteed by network rules, cannot be copied or diluted, and can be settled globally 24 hours a day. The long-term experience of Japanese households regarding changes in currency purchasing power has also reinforced this judgment.

On August 24, according to CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr., Bitcoin rose 22% from $63,000 to $77,000 within 8 days, with the profit supply ratio of short-term holders (STH) increasing from 26.1% to 74.9%. Meanwhile, the net inflow of STH to exchanges shifted from negative to +28,600 BTC, breaking through the +25,000 threshold, indicating that profit-taking pressure is building.If this indicator remains above the threshold and price momentum slows down, the risk of selling will significantly increase; if the flow converges to zero and the profit ratio maintains above 50%, the market is expected to continue its upward trend.
