As a neutral and global platform to serve everyone in the world regardless of their nationality, culture, religion, or politics, Ethereum Classic is meant to be used by individuals and families everywhere in the world as a refuge against inflation and as a protection of basic rights.

Following this philosophy, Bybit, the second largest crypto exchange in the world by volume, has launched a Sharia-compliant trading service to cater to Islamic countries and populations, and has integrated ETC as a permitted asset based on its characteristics and the approval by scholars who have advised the company on this matter.

Sharia Law restricts dealing in assets according to certain rules. Following is a description of some of these rules and how Bybit has adapted its offering to accommodate Islamic markets:

- Riba (Interest): Traditional trading accounts often involve interest charges, which are prohibited in Islam. Bybit's Islamic account eliminates all forms of interest, ensuring compliance with this core principle.

- Gharar (Uncertainty): Sharia law prohibits excessive uncertainty and speculation. Bybit's Islamic account focuses on spot trading, DCA bots, and Spot Grid bots, which promote transparent and predictable trading strategies.

- Maysir (Gambling): Islamic finance forbids any form of gambling. Bybit's Islamic account promotes responsible trading practices and discourages excessive risk-taking.

The account is separate from regular Bybit accounts and provides access to Sharia-compliant spot trading, DCA bots, and Spot grid bots.

Currently, the Islamic account supports 76 of the most traded Sharia-compliant trading pairs of which one is Ethereum Classic certified by their partners, CryptoHalal and Zico.

For $100,000 a Month: Truth Social Sells Access to Trump's Posts to Investment Firms

In August 2026, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) launched Truth API, a paid data service offering real-time access to posts from influential Truth Social accounts, including Donald Trump's, for institutional and algorithmic trading firms. Subscriptions reportedly cost up to $100,000 monthly, with discounts for long-term contracts. TMTG's CEO framed it as a strategy to monetize platform assets and create shareholder value. The move drew criticism from lawmakers, including Democrats Elizabeth Warren and Adam Schiff, who called for an SEC investigation, and Republican Bill Cassidy, who criticized the "sale" of privileged access. An AI analysis notes this creates a market risk architecture similar to past incidents where algorithms rapidly traded on unverified social media posts, raising questions about accountability for potential misinformation or manipulation.

Strategy leaves preferred STRC dividend at 12% as price still below par

Strategy's preferred STRC shares remain priced significantly below their $100 par value, closing July at $89.46 despite a monthly gain. The company confirmed its August dividend will hold at the recently increased 12% annual rate, paid semi-monthly. Management's stated objective is for the shares to trade at $99-$100, though no timeline was given. The firm reported a large Q2 net loss due to unrealized losses on its Bitcoin holdings but has built a $3.75 billion cash reserve to support preferred dividend payments for over two years. It has also begun repurchasing STRC shares while they trade below par.

Bitcoin Withdrawals Continue: 8 Years of Storage in a Coldcard Cold Wallet Ended in Zero

Coldcard Hardware Wallet Hacked: Losses Mount Due to Vulnerable Seed Generation A critical vulnerability in Coldcard hardware wallets has led to a continued wave of fund thefts. According to Galaxy Research, the total stolen has reached 1,367.05 BTC (approx. $88.6 million) from 4,585 addresses, a significant increase from the initial 594.5 BTC reported on July 30, 2026. Most of the stolen funds remain on the attackers' addresses. The issue is not with the current firmware, which Coinkite has updated, but with seed phrases generated on vulnerable devices between March 2021 and the release of fixed firmware versions. Due to a programmer error, devices switched from using a hardware random number generator to the software-based Yasmarang generator, which was initialized with publicly accessible data like the chip's serial number. This made the seed phrases predictable through offline brute-force attacks, meaning wallets remain at risk until funds are moved to a new wallet generated with the patched firmware. Affected devices include Mk2/Mk3 with firmware 4.0.1–4.1.9 (and up to 5.0.3), Mk4/Mk5 up to version 5.6.0, and Q models up to 1.5.0Q. The only exceptions are seeds created with a high-entropy method like at least 50 independent dice rolls or a strong unique BIP-39 passphrase. All other owners must generate a new seed on the fixed firmware and transfer their assets. A case highlighting the human impact involves a 39-year-old long-term investor who lost 2 BTC (approx. $130,000) in minutes. He had accumulated the Bitcoin over eight years through physical labor, viewing it as a financial lifeline and a retirement plan in a country suffering from hyperinflation. His story underscores that even conservative "buy and hold in cold storage" strategies can be compromised by such underlying technical flaws. From a technical perspective, this incident echoes historical failures where weak random number generators undermined cryptographic security, challenging the assumption that offline storage is automatically foolproof.
