X-Agent has announced that the X-Agent AI MCP Hackathon 2026 will officially launch on September 2, inviting global developers and teams to submit practical, verifiable Agent and MCP applications. The online global event is supported by OlaXBT and features two tracks: 1.

Winning and selected projects will also gain access to support such as MCP standardization, ecosystem exposure, market integration, and paid call commercialization. The registration and development period runs from September 2 to September 19. Technical review and judging will take place between September 20 and October 1, with the winner list expected to be announced from October 2 to 4. Participants must submit projects via the official GitHub repository. For registration and event details, please refer to the original link.

According to TradingBeats monitoring, trader "CBB"-linked sub-accounts have cumulatively purchased 125,492.4 HYPE spot tokens since 00:45 today, for approximately $10.5506 million at a weighted average price of $84.073. Meanwhile, alongside these spot buys, the account added a short position of 125,458.02 HYPE perpetual contracts on 10x cross margin, with a position size of around $10.5524 million and an average entry price of $84.111. The quantity and value of both trade legs almost perfectly align, forming a nearly 1:1 spot-perpetual hedge. Currently, HYPE’s funding rate remains positive, meaning long positions pay funding fees to shorts. The account has received roughly $1,818.6 in funding fees today via its short perpetual position. This strategy also uses borrowing to boost capital efficiency: the account has enabled portfolio margin, holding approximately 190,538 HYPE as assets while borrowing around 7.56 million USDC, resulting in a USDC balance of roughly -$5.96 million. The main account has seen a net inflow of around $10 million this cycle, with the remaining spot exposure primarily funded through USDC borrowing.

According to PeckShield’s monitoring, 50 major hacking incidents hit the crypto industry in August 2026, a 67% rise from the 30 cases in July, with total losses of roughly $136.3 million—down 49.5% month-over-month. Among these, the Cronos ecosystem lending protocol Tectonic suffered a hack that caused about $74 million in losses, making it the largest single incident of the month and the fourth-largest crypto asset theft case of the year. The attackers only bridged approximately $6 million to Ethereum before Cronos suspended its network, leaving most of the remaining funds stranded on Cronos.

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated in a post on X that Robinhood Banking’s assets have exceeded $4 billion, adding that this growth reflects users’ trust in Robinhood’s fund management. Tenev also noted that Robinhood is developing "Trump Accounts", which it aims to make the default tool for charitable donations in the U.S. Traditional charitable giving involves complex rules and regulations, requiring donors to evaluate charities, confirm that funds are used as advertised, and assess their efficiency. Trump Accounts allow donors to directly invest funds into investment accounts held by U.S. children, reducing intermediary steps in the donation process. Donors can clearly track their funds’ destination, children own the related assets, no fees are charged, and account assets grow long-term via compounding at market rates—a model expected to bring positive changes to U.S. philanthropy.
