Hawaii's Cryptocurrency ATM Ban to Take Effect October 1

Hawaii is set to become the fourth U.S. state to completely ban cryptocurrency kiosks and ATMs, with the prohibition taking effect on October 1. Governor Josh Green signed the bill into law in July after it passed the state House in May. The law prohibits the possession, operation, or control of any digital financial asset transaction kiosk that exchanges U.S. currency for digital assets. The legislation cites FBI data reporting over $11 billion lost by Americans to digital asset fraud in 2025, with 826 complaints from Hawaii residents resulting in approximately $80 million in losses linked to such transactions, including through ATMs and kiosks. Hawaii follows Minnesota, Tennessee, and Indiana, which enacted similar bans earlier in 2025. Other states like Delaware and New Jersey have proposed bans, while South Dakota and Wyoming have passed laws imposing strict restrictions. According to CoinATMRadar, four major Hawaiian islands hosted 57 crypto ATMs and kiosks as of mid-week. Operators must cease operations by October 1 to avoid potential fines and other penalties.

Blockchain Sleuth ZachXBT Refuses to Help Hacked Harmony Project for Free

Blockchain investigator ZachXBT has publicly refused to offer free assistance to the Harmony project following a recent hack where an attacker minted approximately 4 billion new ONE tokens, representing about 26% of the total supply. ZachXBT cited Harmony's failure to reward volunteers who helped track hackers after the $100 million Harmony Bridge exploit by North Korean actors in June 2022. Despite the volunteers' help leading to asset freezes and law enforcement seizures, Harmony only offered verbal thanks. In a tweet, ZachXBT stated he would not be investigating the new incident and believes no one should assist Harmony for free. He emphasized that without proper bug bounty and reward programs, security researchers lack incentive to help, making blockchains more vulnerable. The investigator recently identified an American woman, Tiffany Milanovich, as being involved in a separate $5 million crypto theft through phishing schemes.

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.
