New meme coin BEN on BSC surges past $9 million market cap in just two hours after launch.

According to GMGN market data, the ZEC-themed airdrop meme token ZCAT (Anonymous Cat) on the Solana blockchain briefly surpassed $119 million in market capitalization, hitting a new all-time high, and is currently trading at $110 million. The token has rallied over 353% in the past 24 hours, with a 24-hour trading volume of $10.9 million. ZCAT is a cat-themed meme token built on Solana, inspired by Zcash’s (ZEC) privacy concept, featuring an anonymous cat mascot wearing a brown paper bag over its head. It levies a ~3% transaction and transfer tax to purchase bridged Zcash (ZEC) on Solana, which is then airdropped to holders. BlockBeats reminds users that most meme coins lack real utility, are highly volatile, and investors should exercise caution.

12 Bitcoin addresses dormant for over 16 years moved a total of 600 BTC on September 5, worth approximately $48 million. The BTC all originated from mining rewards in March 2010, when Satoshi Nakamoto was still active on the Bitcoin network. Whale Alert stated that the 600 BTC came from mining rewards of 12 Bitcoin blocks, and no connection between these addresses and Satoshi Nakamoto has been found. Earlier, Lookonchain had identified 7 of these miner wallets, which moved 350 BTC after remaining dormant for roughly 16.5 years. Whale Alert also noted that one of the block rewards was transferred several blocks ahead of most other transactions, a pattern consistent with conducting a test transaction before executing the remaining transfers.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published a post outlining his optimistic, non-mainstream take on the long-term evolution of cryptography: For general real-world computing, there is a 33% chance that the total cost of three protocols—SNARK, FHE, and iO—can be capped at 1+ε times the baseline computing cost. This means that as computing scale grows sufficiently large, the extra cryptographic overhead relative to baseline costs can approach zero indefinitely. When measured by combined energy consumption and amortized computing costs, these three protocols have a 60% chance of keeping their cost multiple below 10x. One of these targets is likely to be achieved before the end of this decade, with SNARK being the most probable to hit single-digit computing overhead, he added. He noted that this level has already been reached in scenarios involving dedicated hash functions and some large language model (LLM) inference.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated in a post that Bitcoin is facing the strongest buying pressure since the last bear market. The 365-day rolling cumulative net spot buying volume, denominated in U.S. dollars, has surpassed $83 billion, and this metric will remain in negative territory until March 2026. This indicator measures the gap between spot buying and selling volumes on major trading platforms, calculated as a 365-day rolling cumulative total. It signals a significant improvement in recent demand, with the market gradually building a positive trend. However, he warned that spot trading volume does not make up the majority of trading platform activity, as futures trading still holds a clear dominant position. Even so, based on the spot metric, market momentum is growing more positive.
