Abstract

Flight tracking company FlightAware voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit against prediction platform Kalshi just one day after filing it in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District. As previously reported, FlightAware had accused Kalshi on Monday of illegally using its data and trademarks for flight cancellation prediction contracts and sought a court order to stop the practice. However, before any court proceedings began, Kalshi altered the language on its markets, removing claims that its contract data was "verified by FlightAware." The platform now states the data is "verified by the Primary Source Agency," with a link to FlightAware's site, and includes a disclaimer clarifying there is no endorsement or affiliation. Not all legal actions against Kalshi conclude this swiftly. The company is currently involved in several other lawsuits brought by U.S. state authorities.

Flight tracking platform FlightAware has voluntarily withdrawn its lawsuit against the company Kalshi just one day after filing it in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District.

As previously reported by Happy Coin News, on Monday, FlightAware accused the prediction platform of illegally using its data and trademark for flight cancellation contracts. The organization's lawyers asked the court to prohibit Kalshi from doing so.

However, even before a court decision and the formal start of the legal process, Kalshi changed the wording on its flight cancellation markets. Previously, the platform stated that its contract data was verified by FlightAware, but now it says it is "verified by the Primary Source Agency," with a link to FlightAware's website.

This market and these products are not endorsed by the Primary Source Agency or its affiliates. Any references to the Primary Source Agency's flight delay and cancellation page or any related trademarks are descriptive and do not indicate endorsement of this product or any relationship between the Primary Source Agency or its affiliates and Kalshi, — is written on the prediction platform's website.

Not all legal cases against Kalshi end so quickly and with minimal losses. The company is currently involved in several other processes where the plaintiffs are authorities from U.S. states.

Chainlink Whales’ Activity Hits Five-Month High as Holders Anticipate Breakout

Activity of large Chainlink investors has surged to a five-month high, potentially signaling a bullish breakout for LINK, according to data from analytics firm Santiment. On August 12, the network processed 246 large transactions of at least $100,000 each, the highest daily count in five months, a pattern historically linked to price increases. Despite this surge in whale activity, LINK's price, trading at $8.80 at the time of the report, has been largely stagnant over the past year and remains down roughly 83% from its May 2021 all-time high. However, Santiment noted a bullish technical signal as LINK broke a descending trend line on August 11. Standard Chartered offered a significantly optimistic long-term outlook, setting price targets of $13 by 2026, $41 by 2027, and a higher target for 2030. The bank's forecast is based on Chainlink's potential role as a foundational layer for tokenized real-world assets, a market projected to reach around $4 trillion by 2028. The report highlighted that Chainlink's utility and adoption continue to grow, with recent integrations including a cross-border settlement project with 47 banks and partnerships with major institutions like DTCC, Robinhood, and Amundi. Despite this expanding infrastructure, LINK's price has struggled to break out of its $8-$10 range for most of the year.

XRP Price Forecast Amid Accumulation by Large Holders

XRP Price Forecast Amid Rising Accumulation by Large Holders On August 12, XRP's price increased by 1.36% to $1.01, recovering after briefly dropping below the $1 support level the previous day. Data indicates that despite weak price momentum, activity from large holders (whales) and active addresses is growing. Santiment data shows a net increase of 32 wallets holding over 1 million XRP over three months, starting May 2026. This accumulation suggests a transfer of supply from weak to strong hands. While large investors bought, retail selling contributed to a 29% decline in XRP's market cap over the same period. Concurrently, the number of active XRP addresses surged 84% from August 1 to August 11. This network activity rise occurs ahead of an XRP Ledger update expected to boost DeFi usage and despite a low 22% probability of the CLARITY Act passing in 2026, creating a bullish divergence. Technically, XRP's drop below $1 on August 12 marked a 20-month low, with the RSI at 37 favoring bears. Further sell pressure could push the price down to the $0.85 Fibonacci level. However, analysts note XRP may be oversold after a 71% decline from July 2025. A strong uptrend would require overcoming resistance at the $1.20 Fibonacci level. Separately, the Coreum bridge connecting to the XRP Ledger was hacked for $200,000 worth of XRP, exploiting a deposit verification flaw. The Ripple community confirmed the XRP Ledger itself remains secure.

Solana Nearly Halted Finalization Due to an Outage

On August 12th, a routing failure at infrastructure provider TeraSwitch caused approximately 90 Solana validators, representing 28.83% of staked SOL, to go offline simultaneously. This brought the network dangerously close to the 33.34% threshold at which transaction finality would halt, stopping the blockchain. The incident, highlighted by Marinade Finance, lasted about 33 minutes before routing was restored. The affected validators missed out on roughly 333 SOL in rewards during the downtime. The event underscored significant risks from infrastructure concentration, as TeraSwitch alone managed validators with 27.34% of the total staked SOL prior to the outage. Marinade Finance stated it would revise limits on validator distribution across autonomous systems and data centers to improve resilience. Some major operators, like Coinbase, already distribute infrastructure across multiple providers with backup servers to mitigate such single points of failure. The incident echoes a 2022 event where provider Hetzner, hosting ~40% of validators, disconnected nodes, though the network remained operational.

US Consumer Price Index Drops to 3.4% as Expected, Bitcoin Rises

U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation for July met expectations, easing concerns about a Federal Reserve interest rate hike this year. Following the data release, Bitcoin recovered, rising above the key psychological level of $64,000. The U.S. CPI fell to 3.4% year-over-year and 0.1% month-over-month, aligning with forecasts. The core CPI also matched expectations, dropping to 2.5% annually and 0.2% monthly. Bitcoin climbed to around $64,100, recovering from an intraday low near $63,400. However, trading remains in a narrow range due to uncertainty from U.S.-Iran tensions and their potential impact on energy prices. Fed Presidents Austan Goolsbee and Neel Kashkari have indicated inflation is a top concern, with Kashkari advocating for rate hikes. Despite this, the probability of a Fed rate hike at the September FOMC meeting decreased after the CPI report, which is viewed as positive for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market. Market forecasts now suggest a 67% chance rates will remain unchanged. Data from prediction platform Polymarket shows the likelihood of a rate hike this year has fallen to 54%, down from a recent peak of 60% and a July high of 79% amid escalating U.S.-Iran tensions. Market attention now shifts to tomorrow's Producer Price Index (PPI) report for a more complete picture of inflation. A low PPI reading could further reduce rate hike fears, especially following July's jobs report which indicated ongoing labor market instability.
