South Korea’s Jeonbuk Bank taps Ripple for cross-border payments

South Korea's Jeonbuk Bank has partnered with Ripple to implement its Ripple Payments platform for business customers. The service aims to enable near-instant, 24/7 cross-border transfers, offering a faster and cheaper alternative to traditional SWIFT-based transactions. While targeting businesses like import-export firms and tech startups, specific details on availability, supported currencies, corridors, fees, and whether it will use XRP, RLUSD, or other settlement methods were not disclosed. This marks Ripple's third partnership with a South Korean financial institution this year.

In 2026, Bitcoin Was Declared Dead 21 Times, Yet It Still Refuses to Stay in the Grave

The article discusses the recurring phenomenon of Bitcoin being declared "dead" by critics since 2010, as documented by services like bitcoindeaths.com, which has logged 475 such "obituaries." Despite 21 new declarations in 2026 alone—including from vocal critics like Peter Schiff—this year's count remains slightly below the long-term annual average of roughly 28. Google Trends data shows public interest in the phrase "Bitcoin dead" spiked in early 2026 but has since subsided. The piece notes that while Bitcoin is currently trading 50% below its 2025 all-time high of over $126,000, this decline is less severe than previous crashes. The author highlights the historical pattern of dire predictions followed by Bitcoin's resilience, suggesting that despite ongoing criticism from figures like Paul Krugman, many remain skeptical that the cryptocurrency will ever truly reach zero.

The AI Boom Faces a Leverage Problem After a Fund with 67% AI Investments Crashes

Situational Awareness AI, a hedge fund founded by a former OpenAI researcher and led by Leopold Aschenbrenner, lost approximately 67% of its value in July 2026. The fund, which had generated a 439% return using roughly 4x leverage on concentrated bets in AI infrastructure and chip stocks, faced margin calls from major brokers as its positions fell 35-47%. Unable to meet the calls, the fund was forced to liquidate its entire public stock portfolio. The collapse highlights the risks of excessive leverage in volatile tech sectors, even when underlying investment theses—like strong demand for AI memory chips from companies like Micron—prove correct. Notably, the fund continues operating, having recently invested $400 million in a chip manufacturing startup. Global regulators, including the Bank of England, had warned of rising leverage in stock markets, particularly around highly valued AI companies, drawing parallels to past blow-ups like Archegos. While AI investment momentum remains strong, with trillions projected for infrastructure, the incident raises questions about how markets will manage risk. Institutional investors may shift toward longer-term, less leveraged structures, as seen in record fundraising for real assets like data centers in 2025. The key uncertainty is whether patient capital or highly leveraged holders will dominate during the next market downturn.

Analyst States Bitcoin Remains Within $61-68k Range

An analyst stated that Bitcoin is likely to remain within a trading range of $61,000 to $68,000. According to Kirill Komalenkov, director of strategic communications at Bitbanker, Bitcoin continues to trade sideways amidst declining market volatility. He attributes its current stability to high market liquidity, with volatility near three-year lows. Komalenkov warned that sustained low activity carries risks of a price decline, with potential tests of support at $62,300 and $61,600. He suggested that major market players might use the current situation to accumulate liquidity, meaning any initial breakout from the range could be a false move. The analyst expects this sideways movement to persist until the latter part of August. Key factors for determining future market direction include fund flows into Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and trader activity. However, Komalenkov noted a potential negative scenario for the second half of August, where heightened geopolitical tensions or hawkish rhetoric from US monetary authorities could trigger a new decline. In such a case, Bitcoin could fall to a range of $45,000–$50,000 by early autumn, which might form a new base for a potential market recovery later in the season. Separately, a Russian deputy finance minister recently announced that non-qualified investors in Russia will soon be allowed to legally purchase Bitcoin, Ethereum, and popular stablecoins, with an annual limit of 300,000 rubles per intermediary.

Data of Almost 40,000 SafePal Hardware Wallet Users Exposed to Third Parties

Hardware crypto wallet manufacturer SafePal has disclosed a data breach affecting approximately 39,798 users. On August 16, the company announced that leaked information includes customer names, delivery addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and order details. However, sensitive data such as seed phrases, private keys, passwords, bank details, and card numbers were not compromised, as SafePal states it does not collect or store this information. An internal investigation found no evidence that attackers accessed user wallets or funds. The primary risk for affected customers is targeted social engineering attacks. Scammers may use the leaked order details to pose as customer support, offering fake refunds, urging firmware updates, or sending phishing links. SafePal is monitoring and taking down such fraudulent sites and warns users to be cautious of any communication referencing their order information. The breach originated from an authorization vulnerability in a third-party order-tracking plugin, which allowed unauthorized access to other customers' order data. The issue affected orders placed between March 2, 2025, and April 11, 2026. The company has since patched the vulnerability and strengthened its system protections. In response, SafePal is conducting a joint investigation with an independent security firm and auditing its entire order processing system. Additional measures include reducing data retention in the affected system to 90 days and notifying logistics partners. While user crypto assets remain secure, the incident highlights a recurring pattern in the industry where breaches of customer data from hardware wallet companies lead to sophisticated phishing campaigns, similar to past incidents involving Ledger and Trezor. The vulnerability underscores that security risks often lie not in the wallet's cryptography but in auxiliary web services and third-party integrations.

Experiment with Ethereum for this Nasdaq-listed giant lasted just one year! All ETH sold, and investments will be directed precisely into...

American digital asset management company FG Nexus (FGNX), which trades on Nasdaq, has completely exited its Ethereum holdings, ending a roughly one-year strategic experiment with the cryptocurrency. According to its latest filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company sold all its assets in Ethereum (ETH) and Wrapped Staked ETH (wstETH) as of June 30, 2026. FG Nexus first made ETH a primary treasury asset in 2025, with its holdings peaking at 50,770 ETH in September of that year. However, following a market downturn starting in October 2025, the company rapidly reduced its positions. For the first half of 2026, FG Nexus reported a total loss of $45.207 million from digital asset operations, with $41.167 million attributed specifically to its ETH investments. The company stated it plans to redirect the capital from the ETH sales into income-generating real estate investments.

Just Now, DeepSeek Harness Shocks the Open Source World: Everything as a Plugin

DeepSeek Harness, an open-source AI agent framework, has been released. Built on a "everything is a plugin" architecture using Cordis, it provides a modular SDK for constructing, running, and extending agents. The framework separates capabilities—like file systems, shells, web access, and sub-agents—into independent, swappable packages, assembled via a configuration file (`cordis.yml`). This allows creation of diverse agent types, from web UIs to headless automation. Key features include a structured Agent Loop for managing model requests and tool execution with concurrency and safety controls, and an authoritative Session Log that records all events to ensure state can be perfectly reconstructed. It offers multiple interaction modes (Web UI, TUI, Headless) and four preset agent configurations (Standard, PTC, Minimalist, Creative), with the Creative mode allowing agents limited self-modification. Security is built-in with a default `workspace-write` sandbox and an "ask for approval" policy for privileged operations. The framework demonstrates DeepSeek's aim to provide not just another coding assistant, but a foundational, auditable, and extensible system for deploying AI agents into real-world environments, complementing their model ecosystem with robust engineering infrastructure.

MUFG Considers Implementing Instant Repo Trades with Japanese Government Bonds Amid Blockchain Penetration into Bond Markets

Japanese banking giant MUFG is exploring the use of blockchain technology to enable instant repurchase (repo) transactions involving Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs). In collaboration with Digital Asset, Progmat, and other group entities, MUFG is conducting a proof-of-concept under Japan's Payments Innovation Project. The pilot aims to streamline repo settlements, which are crucial for short-term funding among financial institutions. Instead of tokenizing the JGBs themselves, the project will use the Canton blockchain to synchronize account ledger updates across institutions, while payments will occur simultaneously with asset delivery (Delivery versus Payment) using tokenized deposits or stablecoins. The process is supported by smart contracts from Secured Finance AG. By automating operational tasks and enabling near-real-time settlement, MUFG seeks to enhance funding efficiency, potentially unlock capital tied up in settlement delays, and facilitate intraday repo trading. This initiative is part of Japan's broader push toward digital financial infrastructure. While not guaranteeing a commercial launch, its future depends on regulatory alignment, market system integration, and wider industry participation.
