From Backer to Builder

YGG, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) and gaming guild best known for supporting play-to-earn communities globally, has invested in dozens of Web3 games over the years.

With YGG Play, the organization is looking to take the lead in developing and publishing games that align with the crypto-native ethos.

In a statement, Gabby Dizon, cofounder of Yield Guild, said that they have been observing how the Web3 gaming industry has evolved over the past four years.

“YGG Play, which is specifically targeting the Casual Degen market, is our expression of everything we’ve learned, starting with our first game, LOL Land,” Dizon added.

LOL Land, a Web3 Game for the Casual Degen

LOL Land features recognizable Pudgy Penguins characters, four uniquely themed boards, and a $10 million YGG token prize pool.

It’s built on the Abstract Chain, the proprietary network from Igloo Inc., parent company of Pudgy Penguins.

Prior to launch, LOL Land drew more than 116,000 pre-registrations, signaling strong demand for casual Web3 games with real rewards.

LOL Land blends casual gameplay with crypto rewards.

Players roll through four different game boards—YGG City, Beach Day, Carnival, and Ice World Wonderland—each decked out with characters inspired by Web3 community members like Aaron Teng and Rusk0

There are two play modes:

Free Play: Unlimited rolls with no token rewards.
Premium Mode: Players purchase rolls and collect points to win a share of the $10 million YGG token pool.

Luca Netz, CEO of Pudgy Penguins, called the project “a game built by degens for degens,” and praised the collaboration with YGG and Abstract.

"Cryptopresident" Trump Sells Coinbase and Strategy Shares

The U.S. Office of Government Ethics report for June details President Trump's securities transactions. Out of over 1,000 trades, only seven involved crypto companies, with most being sales. The report shows three sales of Coinbase Global stock totaling between $116,003 and $315,000, followed by a single purchase of up to $100,000. Shares of Strategy, a major corporate Bitcoin holder, were sold twice (up to $65,000), with no buys recorded. A single small purchase of Robinhood stock was also noted. Spot Bitcoin ETFs, mining stocks, and Trump Media shares were absent from the report. Trump's total trading volume for June was between $78.1 million and $263.1 million, making his crypto trades a minuscule part of his overall portfolio activity. This contrasts sharply with his reported annual income, where crypto-related ventures reportedly generated around $1.4 billion for 2025. The White House maintains his investments are managed independently without conflicts of interest. The sales also contrast with his 2024 campaign rhetoric, where he positioned himself as pro-crypto. An analysis suggests the minimal public trading in crypto stocks creates an illusion of diversification, while his real financial model appears to rely on monetizing political influence through digital assets, raising questions about the transparency of his financial disclosures.

Circle’s Two-Day Rebound Nears 17%, The Real Driver May Not Be Fundamentals

Circle's stock surged nearly 17% over two days (August 19-20), largely driven by a broader crypto market rally as Bitcoin broke $70,000 and bond yields fell, rather than significant company-specific news. While Q2 2026 results showed USDC circulation and on-chain transaction volume growing, revenue growth slowed. Over 85% of revenue still comes from interest on reserve assets, making profits vulnerable to declining interest rates. The company's long-term strategy hinges on its Arc blockchain and Circle Payments Network (CPN). Arc's public mainnet, scheduled for September 16, has backing from major institutions like BlackRock and Visa. Circle aims to diversify income through transaction, settlement, and software services via these platforms, reducing reliance on reserve interest. A long-term valuation model projects a share price of $259 by 2030, assuming successful platform commercialization and USDC growth. This contrasts with the Wall Street average 12-month target of about $101, which is based more on near-term reserve income and interest rates. The key test will be whether Arc can generate substantial, sustained commercial revenue from real asset tokenization and transactions post-launch, moving beyond announcements to tangible business metrics.

Bitcoin's Record-Breaking Week: Surge Over $16,000 and Predictions for the 'Strongest' Cycle in History

Bitcoin recorded its largest weekly dollar gain in history, surging approximately from $63,000 to $79,000 between August 17 and 23, 2026. Strive CEO Matt Cole noted Bitcoin's explosive breakout not only against the US dollar but also against gold, suggesting the world is entering a period of heightened demand for scarce assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin. He believes Bitcoin could attract a disproportionate share of new liquidity and anticipates the next market cycle could be the "strongest" in history, though a short-term pullback is possible. Analysts highlighted key factors for continued growth. Zeus Research's Dominic John pointed to new ETF inflows and improving macroeconomic liquidity, with the potential CLARITY Act in September as a positive catalyst. He sees a path to $85,000-$90,000 if Bitcoin reclaims $80,000, with $100,000 possible under favorable conditions. Conversely, BTC Markets' Rachel Lucas warned against attributing the rally to a single factor, noting it likely resulted from short squeezes, spot demand, and derivatives market activity. She advised monitoring spot ETF inflows, open interest, and funding rates. Predominantly spot-driven demand creates a firmer foundation, while overheated funding rates and high open interest signal increased risk of a sharp correction. She added that profit-taking and volatility post-rally are normal and not inherently bearish. The report also recalled that Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw their best weekly inflow of 2026 at $2.62 billion from August 17-21.

The Strategy of Accumulating Cryptocurrency on Company Balance Sheets Is Worn Out — Bloomberg

The strategy of companies accumulating cryptocurrency on their balance sheets has become outdated, according to Bloomberg. Since the start of the year, the market capitalization of such Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) companies in the US and Canada has fallen by 43%. Shares of Strategy, a major corporate Bitcoin holder, have dropped over 20% this year and are down more than 70% from their mid-2025 peak. This downturn, turning DATs into a toxic asset for investors, followed the broader crypto market's decline from its autumn 2025 highs, where Bitcoin lost over a third and Ethereum halved in value. This created a negative cycle where falling crypto prices reduced the collateral for company loans, forcing asset sales that further depressed prices. Attempts by at least ten DATs to pivot, often to artificial intelligence, have largely failed, resulting in significant stock price declines for companies like Wave Media and AlphaTON Capital. The exception has been crypto miners like CoreWeave, who successfully leveraged their existing computing infrastructure for new ventures. Many companies, including miners and data center operators, are now selling their crypto holdings. Recent examples include Hyperscale Data selling $43 million in Bitcoin, Strategy selling $108.6 million in BTC for a share buyback, and Japan's Quantum Solutions selling Ethereum to fund its AI business.
