SK Hynix: Open to Investing in the U.S.

Polygon has disclosed multiple security vulnerabilities affecting its Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network, targeting the Bor and Heimdall clients, which could lead to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, validator resource exhaustion, and abnormal checkpoint and milestone processing. Fixes for these flaws have been deployed to the mainnet via the recently completed Austin and Kyoto hard forks. The most critical vulnerability resides in Heimdall, where attackers can craft special transactions to force validators to execute an excessive number of processing tasks, thereby disrupting network operations. The Austin hard fork also patched two DoS risks in Bor, which could have resulted in reduced block processing speeds or node crashes. Polygon noted that no exploitation of these vulnerabilities has been detected on the mainnet, and the team proactively completed the fixes before publicly disclosing technical details. All Polygon PoS nodes must run Bor v2.10.0, while validators and full nodes also need to upgrade to Heimdall v0.11.0; nodes still running older versions have fallen out of consensus and must update to rejoin the mainnet.

According to Lookonchain's monitoring, a crypto whale that had been dormant for 8 months purchased 76,856 SOL tokens from Hyperliquid, worth $8 million.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin Monitoring, "Big Brother Ma Ji" Huang Licheng's high-leverage rollover strategy is highly dependent on a one-sided upward market trend. Once the market shifts to consolidation or a downturn, even minor downward fluctuations could trigger stop-losses and forced position reductions, leading to continuous account erosion. Over the past few days, both BTC and ETH have been consolidating at high levels with little overall price movement, but Big Brother Ma Ji's account balance has dropped from $11.15 million to $8.8 million, a decrease of roughly $2.35 million, primarily due to frequent stop-losses and position cuts during the minor price pullback. Currently, his long positions are valued at approximately $114 million, of which around $100 million is ETH long contracts, with an entry price of $2,463 and a liquidation price of $2,307. If ETH continues its one-sided rally, leverage will further amplify gains; if it remains consolidating or turns bearish, he may face another round of forced position reductions and give back around $11 million in gains from the prior upward trend.

According to Lookonchain’s monitoring, the mysterious whale address 0x6436 made another purchase of 243,713 HYPE tokens over the past 10 hours, valued at approximately $20.24 million.

Genius Group announces a $1.2 billion capital plan, intending to use the shelf registration declared effective by the U.S. SEC in July 2025 to raise funds for its dual AI and Bitcoin treasuries. The company’s board of directors has approved goals to build an $800 million AI treasury and an $827 million Bitcoin treasury by fiscal 2031, while boosting total assets to $2 billion. Genius Group plans to use perpetual preferred securities as its primary financing instrument, a method it says is designed to increase net asset value (NAV) per share and reduce dilution of common shareholders. The firm intends to first issue $12.5 million in perpetual preferred securities, which are expected to be non-convertible and pay floating returns monthly. Proceeds will be allocated to the AI treasury, Bitcoin treasury, and a U.S. dollar reserve covering approximately 18 months of preferred stock dividends; specific terms and timing of the offering have not yet been finalized. Currently, the company holds a net asset value of $106.6 million, with a NAV per share of $0.62, and its closing price on August 26 stood at $0.18 per share. Genius Group projects its NAV per share could rise to $2–$4 over the next five years, though this target depends on financing execution and market conditions. The firm previously exited its Bitcoin holdings and plans to resume purchasing BTC in the fourth quarter of 2026.

realtrumpcoins released a statement saying reports that Trump Coins has launched, promoted or authorized digital tokens are "completely untrue", noting the information is a malicious act by a third party. The statement emphasized that Trump Coins has never authorized any digital tokens, and will not launch, promote or authorize any such tokens in the future. It is currently cooperating with relevant law enforcement agencies to investigate the incident and seek to hold responsible parties accountable. Earlier reports noted that meme coin GOLD was created on Solana at 7:38 yesterday. Related addresses controlled more than 82% of the token’s total supply via distribution and post-launch buying. Around 9 a.m., Trump merchandise partner account @realtrumpcoins1 posted a tweet containing the GOLD contract address, pushing the token’s market cap to a peak of $66 million. At around 11:48 a.m., the tweet was deleted, and the associated addresses immediately began concentrated selling. GOLD’s market cap plummeted from $55 million to $1 million in roughly 30 seconds; the scammers then continued to offload their holdings, eventually selling all their tokens for a total profit of approximately 9,784.6 SOL (equivalent to around $1.01 million).
