Resumen

Zeus Wallet, a self-custodial Bitcoin Lightning wallet, took its infrastructure offline following a cybersecurity attack on Wednesday. The company states that customer funds were not at risk and the incident appears limited to its own infrastructure, not affecting Lightning node software. Founder Evan Kaloudis said the attack was mitigated within hours. Customers who had Lightning Service Provider channels closed will receive replacements upon service restoration. While the nature of the attack and a restoration timeline were not disclosed, Zeus highlighted the incident reinforces its focus on security projects like trusted execution environments and the Validating Lightning Signer. This follows Zeus's recent disabling of swaps due to partner Boltz halting its operations.

Zeus Wallet, a self-custodial Bitcoin Lightning Network wallet, took its infrastructure offline after a cybersecurity incident on Wednesday, and is auditing its systems before restoring services.

In an X post announcing the incident, Zeus said the attack did not put customer funds at risk and that it had no evidence the incident affected Lightning node software. “Based on our investigation so far, we believe this incident was limited to Zeus infrastructure,” Zeus founder Evan Kaloudis said in a company blog post.

According to Kaloudis, Zeus mitigated the attack within hours. He said that customers whose Lightning Service Provider (LSP) channels closed during the incident will receive replacement channels once services resume.

The company did not disclose the nature of the attack or provide a timeline for restoring operations. Zeus said the incident reinforces its work on trusted execution environments, also known as enclaves, and the Validating Lightning Signer (VLS) project to strengthen its infrastructure.

Zeus’ move follows its Monday announcement that it would disable swaps following Boltz’s decision to halt operations. Boltz, a non-custodial Bitcoin swap service, said that its platform would remain disabled until further notice.

Cointelegraph requested Zeus provide additional details about the incident but had not received a response by publication.

Uniswap Launches Pools.trade Service for Meme Coin Launches on Robinhood Chain

Uniswap has launched its first meme token marketplace, Pools.trade, on the Robinhood Chain. This platform allows users to create and trade new tokens through a unified interface. Developers can launch tokens via a four-hour crowd launch or an instant launch, after which liquidity is automatically placed into Uniswap v4 pools and locked permanently. Uniswap does not charge a separate launchpad fee. Each pool uses a standard 0.25% fee for liquidity providers. Token creators can activate an additional 0.05% fee per transaction, providing them with an incentive to maintain activity around their token. Pools.trade is hosted on Robinhood Chain, which has become a popular hub for decentralized trading. In the last 24 hours, the chain's trading volume reached $519.97 million, with a weekly volume of $2.48 billion. The market capitalization of stablecoins on the chain is $597.51 million, and the value of the Uniswap protocol is approximately $69.75 million. Previously, Robinhood Chain was reported to have climbed to second place in terms of active wallet count, surpassing both Base and Polygon.

US Stocks Rise Again, Bitcoin Continues Sideways Movement

U.S. stocks are experiencing another rally, while Bitcoin continues its prolonged sideways movement, largely unaffected by the equity surge. In August, the S&P 500 rose 3.12%, adding roughly $2.1 trillion in market capitalization. In contrast, Bitcoin gained only about 2% for the month, trading around $64,600. Analysts note the stock market's gains are primarily driven by specific AI-related equities rather than broad macroeconomic momentum that typically boosts risk assets like Bitcoin. While positive macro factors like falling oil prices and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz benefit risk assets, stocks see a more immediate benefit from reduced business costs. For Bitcoin, the effect works more slowly through inflation expectations and subsequent Federal Reserve policy. The crypto market faces its own headwinds, including a $130 million Coldcard hack and reports of Bitcoin sales by Mt. Gox. Rising bond yields are also creating obstacles, pulling capital away via stablecoins; the supply of USDT has fallen to its lowest level since 2025. Despite this, some on-chain metrics show bullish signals, such as miners holding onto their Bitcoin.

Kathy Wood Boosts Positions in Circle and SpaceX Amid 13.6% Drop in SpaceX Shares

Kathy Wood's Ark Invest purchased approximately $17.3 million worth of Circle stock and roughly $20 million in SpaceX shares on Wednesday. The SpaceX acquisition coincided with a 13.6% drop in its share price following a report of a six-fold increase in capital expenditures, primarily for AI infrastructure development. Ark bought 273,343 Circle shares across several ETFs. While Circle's Q2 revenue of $701 million slightly missed analyst expectations, its adjusted earnings per share of $0.18 exceeded forecasts. The company's USDC stablecoin in circulation grew 19% to $73.3 billion. Regarding SpaceX, Ark acquired 181,830 shares. Despite reporting a 92% revenue increase to $7.8 billion for the period, the company posted a $541 million net loss. The significant spike in capital spending to $18.4 billion alarmed investors. CEO Elon Musk projected the company could reach $1 trillion in annual revenue by 2030, or potentially as early as 2029.

KITE Halts Transfers on Ethereum Mainnet in Response to Exploit

On August 6, the Kite Foundation announced it detected and thwarted an attack on its $KITE token on the Ethereum mainnet, confirming no tokens were stolen. The incident adds $KITE to a list of DeFi protocols, including Boltz, AQUA, and ZEUS, targeted recently. While the security monitoring system flagged and stopped the unusual transfer activity, the event has drawn attention to the project's declining position. After entering the top 100 cryptocurrencies in early 2026 with a market cap exceeding $363 million, $KITE has since fallen over 67% from its March peak and now ranks 123rd. This attack occurs amidst a surge in AI-powered exploits, as noted in recent incidents affecting other platforms. Commentators warn that AI-assisted attackers are becoming more sophisticated, posing significant challenges for security teams. Kite, which bills itself as an AI-first blockchain payment infrastructure, has emphasized its security audits and bug bounty program. The foundation's response aims to restore trust as the broader DeFi sector grapples with increasing security threats, with total crypto theft reportedly around $16.9 billion.

CASHCAT Surges 120% in a Week as Robinhood Network's Value Hits $774M

The meme coin CASHCAT has surged by 120% over the past week, trading around 8.7 cents, a 22% daily increase, with a market cap of approximately $86 million. This price remains well below its peak of around 22 cents in mid-July. Created by third-party developers using Robinhood's pre-rebrand "money cat" logo, CASHCAT is described on its website as "fan fiction with a ticker." It emerged as a breakout project on the newly launched Robinhood Network in early July, generating significant profits for early wallets and prompting CEO Vlad Tenev to acknowledge the blockchain works "great for memecoins." However, activity on the network has cooled. Noxa, the launchpad behind the initial surge, stopped accepting new projects on July 11 and shut down two days later, having earned an estimated $12 million in fees. Daily token deployments on network launchpads have fallen sharply from around 35,000 to about 10,000. CASHCAT now has roughly 41,200 holders, with its full 989 million token supply in circulation. Its largest Uniswap liquidity pool holds 2.47% of the supply, valued at $5 million—the largest among memecoins on the chain. Meanwhile, Robinhood-hosted tokenized real-world assets have grown to an active market value of $100 million, up from $70 million in late July.
