Cryptocurrency investment firm RockawayX announced the acquisition of the crypto hedge fund Relayer Capital to incorporate long-short strategies into its existing platform and expand its business footprint in the United States. RockawayX manages approximately $2 billion in assets, and Relayer will be renamed RockawayX Liquid Opportunities Fund, focusing on uncovering "undervalued liquidity tokens and crypto-related stocks." After the acquisition is completed, Relayer founder Austin Barack will serve as the chief investment officer of the fund, with Forbes citing informed sources that the company plans to raise $150 million for the fund.According to the announcement, Relayer's liquidity strategy has achieved approximately 70% net returns this year, outperforming a weighted basket of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana by 86% as of August 21. The strategy expresses fundamental views on crypto tokens through long and short positions and pairs trading, while reducing overall market exposure at appropriate times. RockawayX CEO Viktor Fischer stated that now is the "right time" to implement this strategy, as there are crypto companies with real revenue and strong fundamentals emerging in the market, but inefficiencies and mispricing still exist, providing good opportunities for active investors.This transaction occurs amid a recent rebound in the crypto market, with Bitcoin recording its largest weekly dollar gain in history last week, dropping 1.68% to $79,064 in the past 24 hours after briefly reaching a high of around $81,000.

Jiang Zhuoer released a historical cycle comparison chart of Bitcoin on platform X, stating that if the low point of this cycle is around $57,800, based on historical cycle trends, the current market adjustment in terms of magnitude and duration is already quite close to the previous three cycles, and a large number of investors may currently be in a "missed out" state.Jiang Zhuoer mentioned that as the market continues to consolidate and fluctuate, the anxiety of investors missing out on the market (FOMO) may gradually intensify. Once capital flows back in, the space for further market decline may be limited. He believes that the subsequent trend may reference the "golden pit" in the market at the end of 2021, at which point a brief buying opportunity during a pullback may arise.

The head of Galaxy Research posted on platform X stating that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has proposed the Regulation Crypto Assets, abbreviated as Reg Crypto. This proposal aims to establish a legal pathway for the issuance of certain tokens to the U.S. public and to set up a mechanism for terminating investment contracts. The scope is limited to crypto assets that are not themselves securities but have been issued or sold as part of an investment contract; tokenized stocks, bonds, and arrangements that bundle tokens with equity or other securities are not included in the framework.The proposal sets four stages: financing, disclosure, construction, and exit. A one-time startup exemption allows issuers to raise up to $5 million over a maximum of four years; a higher exemption limit set by Regulation A allows for raising $20 million or $75 million within 12 months.Related financing must undergo qualification review by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and continuous disclosure, with the investment cap for unaccredited investors being the greater of 10% of their annual income or net worth. Issuers must also disclose the token supply and release plan, minting and burning mechanisms, governance and smart contract permissions, source code, as well as project construction commitments and progress.When the issuer completes or permanently ceases relevant construction obligations, makes no new construction commitments, and submits a transition report, the related investment contracts will be deemed terminated, and the crypto assets will no longer be subject to securities laws under that investment contract. Issuers that do not use the above financing exemptions can also utilize this safe harbor. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission estimates that approximately 475 issuers will use the investment contract safe harbor each year, with about 130 issuers utilizing the two new exemptions. Qualified issuances may not be considered restricted securities and can be resold immediately without contractual restrictions.The proposal will also exclude initial offerings and certain secondary transactions within its scope from state registration and qualification requirements, but it does not involve exchanges, brokers, dealers, custodians, nor is it an independent innovation exemption for tokenized securities and on-chain transactions. The comment period is 60 days after publication in the Federal Register. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins and Commissioners Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda have all issued supportive statements.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng called for "tokenizing everything," stating that tokenization is one of the best ways for countries to raise funds or attract foreign direct investment. He asked, "Which country or company wouldn't want to sell its tokenized stock globally?" He supports tokenization across all blockchains, acknowledging that it may lead to liquidity fragmentation issues, but believes this is the fastest way for the industry to develop. If high interchangeability can be achieved among different issuers, the fragmentation issue can be resolved to some extent.Zhao Changpeng also shared data related to BNB Chain, showing that the number of RWA holders on BNB Chain has reached 776,000, an increase of approximately 370% in 30 days.

According to foreign media BusinessInsider, based on publicly available holding data, "stock god" Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, through a two-layer equity nested "penetrating holding" model, indirectly holds about 0.04% of the shares of Space Exploration Technologies Corp (SpaceX), corresponding to a market value of over $700 million.This has led to a rare capital intersection between Buffett and "Iron Man" Elon Musk, two top business tycoons. Musk has long viewed Buffett's investment recognition as an important industry endorsement, and has publicly extended olive branches to Buffett on social media multiple times, hoping he would become a shareholder in his company. Musk joked in a 2023 post, "It's a pity he didn't invest when Tesla's market value was only 0.1% of what it is now." In 2024, he publicly stated again, "He should have built a position in Tesla; it's the obvious choice." Now, although Buffett has not invested in Tesla, he has become an "invisible shareholder" of SpaceX in another way. From the holding structure, this equity is not directly funded by Berkshire to SpaceX, but is an ancillary asset of its heavy investment in tech giant Google's parent company Alphabet.

According to Bloomberg, AI company Anthropic PBC plans to grant shares with extra voting rights to CEO Dario Amodei and other co-founders before preparing for an IPO. This move aims to ensure that the founding team retains dominant control over the company's strategic direction after it goes public.

Chairman of BitMine Tom Lee forwarded an Ethereum price analysis, showing that Ethereum is approaching an important technical breakthrough, currently only about 3.5% away from breaking through the Daily Cloud.According to the analysis, this indicator has not been effectively broken since October 9, 2025. If ETH successfully stands above the Daily Cloud, it could indicate an improvement in the long-term trend structure and release further upward signals.Tom Lee commented, "Would be good to see." The Daily Cloud typically refers to the Ichimoku Cloud in technical analysis, where "Daily" indicates a calculation based on daily candlestick periods.

"White-haired stock god" Serenity stated that AI investment may be simpler than the market imagines, as Nvidia and its CEO Jensen Huang have actually been releasing signals of future industry trends in advance, but the market often chooses to ignore these trends before they truly explode. Serenity noted that when Nvidia heavily locked in EML (Electrically Modulated Laser) and laser production capacity in 2025, the market questioned the photonics sector, believing that related companies had issues with speculation or even management. However, a year later, the stock prices of related optical communication companies surged significantly. Among them, LITE rose by 678%, and AAOI rose by 475.12%.Serenity believes that the market is currently repeating a similar pattern. In 2026, Nvidia locked in continuous wave (CW) laser and EML production capacity through long-term agreements, while clearly promoting the transition to an 800V power architecture and repeatedly emphasizing that co-packaged optics (CPO) and "Physical AI" will become important trends in the next phase. The market may once again underestimate the industry signals released by Nvidia, but Nvidia and Jensen Huang's judgments often serve as leading indicators of AI industry trends.

Swissblock stated that the initial momentum launch of Bitcoin failed to form an effective breakthrough, and the momentum indicators have now returned to the "transition zone."If BTC can hold the range of $62,300 to $62,500, the current consolidation structure is still expected to be maintained.

Elon Musk stated that due to insufficient power supply and difficulties in ground facility approvals, orbital computing (i.e., space computing platforms) may be the only way to scale AI on a large scale by around 2029.

According to The Block, K33 research director Vetle Lunde stated that by the end of the first half of 2026, the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund's indirect Bitcoin exposure through holdings in companies such as Strategy, Metaplanet, MARA, Coinbase, Block, and Tesla has risen to 11,549 BTC, a record high valued at approximately $725 million. This exposure grew by 21.2% in the first half of the year and by 60.5% over the past year, marking the sixth consecutive reporting period of increase.Among these, Strategy accounts for nearly 86% of the fund's indirect Bitcoin exposure, corresponding to approximately 9,914 BTC. As of June 30, the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund held about 1.17% of Strategy's shares, valued at $357.3 million at that time. Metaplanet corresponds to 671 BTC, MARA corresponds to 421 BTC, and Coinbase, Block, and Tesla correspond to 183 BTC, 120 BTC, and 97 BTC, respectively.K33 pointed out that this exposure is likely not the result of the fund actively allocating to Bitcoin, but rather an indirect effect of its broadly diversified investment portfolio. Currently, the related Bitcoin exposure accounts for about 0.03% of the fund's total assets.In addition, the fund has also gained indirect ETH exposure through the Ethereum treasury company BitMine for the first time. As of June 30, it held 6.15 million shares of BitMine, valued at $88.3 million, accounting for about 1.16% of the company's shares; based on BitMine's current ETH holdings, this corresponds to an indirect exposure of approximately 67,340 ETH.
