币界网报道：

周一，共和党代表呼吁CrowdStrike首席执行官乔治·库尔茨在众议院国土安全委员会面前作证。几天前，该公司发布了一个有缺陷的软件更新，导致数百万台微软Windows设备崩溃。根据周一的一封信，国土安全委员会主席田纳西州共和党众议员Mark Green和网络安全和基础设施保护小组委员会主席纽约州共和党众众议员Andrew Garbarino表示，这一事件是对“与网络依赖相关的国家安全风险的广泛警告”。议员们表示，停电造成了全球经济“关键职能”的中断，包括银行、航空、医疗保健、紧急服务和媒体。美国数千架航班被延误和取消，全国许多卫生系统不得不重新安排预约和非紧急程序。CrowdStrike的股价周一收盘下跌超过13%。格林和加巴里诺写道：“认识到美国人无疑会感受到这一事件的持久现实后果，他们应该详细了解这一事件是如何发生的，以及CrowdStrike正在采取的缓解措施。”。Kurtz周五表示，停电不是网络攻击或安全事件，CrowdStrike当天部署了修复程序。即便如此，议员们表示，该国需要从周五的破坏中吸取教训，确保“不再发生”。格林和加巴里诺要求CrowdStrike最迟在周三与网络安全和基础设施保护小组委员会举行听证会。CrowdStrike和微软没有立即回应CNBC的置评请求。

不要错过CNBC PRO的这些见解。分析师表示，伯克希尔哈撒韦公司已经淘汰了10%的已发行股票，因为巴菲特重视回购的持久力量。美国银行策略师表示，现在是时候看跌了。摩根士丹利正在为包括苹果在内的这些股票出牌，因为如果拜登退出竞选，“特朗普交易”可能会停滞不前

Authorities of an American city ban mining

The authorities of Whiteville, a city in the United States, have implemented a ban on cryptocurrency mining. This moratorium is set to last for one year, until August 25, 2027, or until the city council can amend current zoning laws, which currently lack specific regulations for data centers and mining farms. Mayor Terry Mann stated that during this period, the city plans to study the impact of mining on local resources and public health. Officials will assess the water required for equipment cooling, electricity consumption levels, and the strain on city infrastructure. Concerns cited by city staff include the potential for uncontrolled mining to lead to high greenhouse gas emissions, pollution from diesel generators, excessive electronic waste, and significant noise pollution that could harm residents' health. While there are currently no active proposals for data center construction in Whiteville, the ban is a preemptive measure. City authorities also intend to use the year to study the regulatory approaches of other municipalities in North Carolina. This development comes as a 2023 CoinShares report indicated that Bitcoin mining in the U.S. is becoming less profitable due to rising electricity costs, the reduced block reward of 3.125 BTC, and increased network difficulty.

Trump Has Cost Investors $4.7 Billion Through Crypto 'Schemes': Public Citizen

A report by consumer advocacy group Public Citizen claims former U.S. President Donald Trump and his family have caused investors losses estimated at at least $4.7 billion since 2022 through their digital asset ventures. These include the Trump family's World Liberty Financial governance token, Trump's NFT collections, his "Official Trump" meme coin ($TRUMP), and the Trump Media digital asset treasury. According to the report, $3.2 billion of the alleged losses stemmed from investors in the $TRUMP meme coin, described as a transfer of wealth to a small group of early buyers. In contrast, Trump reportedly earned substantial income from these projects: over $7 million in NFT royalties, more than $600 million from World Liberty token sales and equity, $635 million in meme coin licensing fees, and $197 million from World Liberty capital contributions. These figures exclude his ongoing holdings. A White House spokesperson has previously stated there are "no conflicts of interest" regarding Trump's crypto investments. Public Citizen is urging for the inclusion of ethics provisions in the pending CLARITY Act crypto market bill, arguing a president's policy decisions and personal investments cannot be separated and should require divestment from industry projects. A Senate cloture vote on the bill is scheduled for September 15.

Why Ethereum Staking Will Change in 2026

The article discusses the evolving role of Ethereum (ETH) staking, shifting from a niche crypto enthusiast topic to a mainstream portfolio management tool for financial advisors and institutional investors. It explains how staking works in Ethereum's Proof-of-Stake network, detailing validator requirements and methods like solo staking, pools, exchanges, and liquid staking protocols, each with its own risk-reward profile (e.g., liquidity, control, technical requirements). A key point is staking's growing importance for corporate treasuries, where staking rewards represent a significant income stream, unlike non-yielding Bitcoin holdings. Looking ahead, the article highlights the anticipated 'Glamsterdam' upgrade in late 2026 as a pivotal development expected to enhance scalability, decentralization, and post-quantum resistance, further solidifying Ethereum's institutional appeal. It also emphasizes that while staking offers passive income and network participation, risks include technical failures, slashing penalties, platform/custodial risks, and regulatory uncertainty. For advisors, the conclusion stresses the need to evaluate staking providers beyond just promised yields, focusing on reliability, fees, withdrawal terms, security, and the specifics of reward structures (protocol vs. MEV-based). The regulatory landscape and infrastructure maturity around digital asset custody are noted as critical adjacent topics to monitor.

Scott Bessent's Risky Bond Buyback Operation Could Fuel Bitcoin Price Surge

Bitcoin returned to the $80,000 level on Thursday, breaking past a key $79,000 resistance point, on news of an upcoming $92 billion U.S. Treasury bill auction scheduled for August 31st. The price recovery saw Bitcoin reach a daily high of $80,808, though it faced brief selling pressure. The cryptocurrency was trading around $80,400 by late morning EST, marking a roughly 3% daily increase and pushing its market cap back to $1.61 trillion. This surge positions Bitcoin for a monthly gain of over 20%, a sharp reversal from July's flat performance. The volatility led to $105 million in leveraged Bitcoin positions being liquidated in 24 hours, with short positions accounting for the majority of losses. Analysts note the large-scale Treasury auction could drain short-term market liquidity, potentially pushing yields higher and pressuring risk assets like stocks and crypto. Furthermore, a recent article in The Economist warns that U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's policies risk undermining confidence in the American financial system. The report criticizes measures to artificially cap long-term bond yields and a shift towards issuing more short-term T-bills, which shortens the overall debt duration and increases vulnerability to future rate hikes. This approach, along with distorting market pricing mechanisms, could jeopardize long-term investor trust in U.S. sovereign debt. Prominent figures like Ray Dalio suggest such policies are reducing the inflation-adjusted yield of traditional fixed-income assets, potentially driving capital seeking a store of value towards alternatives like gold and Bitcoin, whose prices have risen since the Treasury's announcements.
