Abstract

Cryptocurrency service Coinsbuy suffered a hack, losing approximately $7.9 million. Security firm PeckShield suggested the breach may have been caused by compromised private keys or a critical infrastructure vulnerability. The stolen funds were drained simultaneously from hot wallets on the Ethereum and Tron networks. The attacker subsequently began splitting the assets and moving them through exchange services like FixedFloat, ChangeNOW, and BingX, converting a portion into the privacy-focused cryptocurrency Monero. The Coinsbuy team, in collaboration with ChangeNOW, managed to freeze some of the stolen assets before they could be fully withdrawn. Coinsbuy stated that gateway operations were temporarily suspended for several hours due to frozen deposits and withdrawals, but all services have now been restored and are functioning normally. This incident follows recent reports from PeckShield and blockchain researcher ZachXBT about a hack on the cross-chain exchange protocol THORChain, which resulted in an estimated loss of $10 million.

PeckShield suggested that the cause of the hack could have been a compromise of private keys or a critical vulnerability in the service's infrastructure. The funds stolen from Coinsbuy's hot wallets were withdrawn simultaneously from the Ethereum and Tron networks.

The attacker then began splitting the assets and transferring them through exchange services, including FixedFloat, ChangeNOW, and BingX, converting part of the funds into the anonymous cryptocurrency Monero.

The Coinsbuy team, together with the crypto exchange platform ChangeNOW, managed to block part of the stolen assets before they could be fully withdrawn.

Coinsbuy stated that the gateway's operation was suspended for several hours due to the freezing of deposit and withdrawal operations, but currently all services have been restored and are operating normally.

Earlier, analysts from PeckShield and an anonymous blockchain researcher ZachXBT reported a hacker attack on the decentralized cross-chain exchange protocol THORChain. The damage from the hack was estimated at approximately $10 million.

Bitdeer increased Bitcoin mining output by nearly fivefold in Q2

Bitdeer's Bitcoin mining output surged nearly fivefold year-over-year in Q2 2026, producing 2,694 BTC compared to 565 BTC in the prior year. However, the company's Bitcoin holdings on its balance sheet fell 90% to 150 BTC, following a complete liquidation of its 943 BTC treasury in February, which it attributed to liquidity needs, not a departure from its core mining business. The company reported Q2 revenue of $228.8 million, a 47% increase, slightly exceeding Wall Street estimates. Self-mining revenue was $168.4 million, driven by a 389% jump in average hashrate. Despite the revenue growth, Bitdeer's net loss widened to $92.3 million from $62.9 million. Bitdeer is expanding beyond mining, notably signing a 16-year, $4.7 billion lease for AI computing capacity in Norway.

Stock Price Doubles Within the Year, Plummets 20% After Resumption, Baolai Medical's 'Chip Backdoor Listing' Script Ends

On August 10, 2026, BPL (300246.SZ) resumed trading after a nearly week-long suspension and immediately fell by a 20% limit-down. This plunge was triggered by the termination of a planned controlling stake transfer, dashing earlier market speculation. In January 2026, Zhejiang Quwei Zhihe Partnership entered as a significant shareholder, sparking hopes. Investors speculated that its backer, Weigu Information—a specialized "little giant" company in high-reliability solid-state storage chips—might be seeking a backdoor listing through BPL. This "cross-industry restructuring" expectation fueled a strong rally, with BPL's stock price more than doubling in 2026 prior to the halt. However, the deal was called off on August 7, directly causing the sharp sell-off. Underlying BPL's vulnerability is its fundamentally weak business. The company, a medical device firm, is mired in losses, having reported three consecutive years of net losses totaling over 200 million yuan. Its core hemodialysis business is squeezed by government procurement price cuts, while growth in its patient monitor segment has stalled. Furthermore, BPL faces imminent debt pressure with convertible bonds worth approximately 218 million yuan due in September 2026, and its current stock price is far below the conversion price. The failed control transfer may represent a delayed release of negative news, but BPL's core challenges remain: reversing operational losses and addressing its urgent liquidity crisis.

Standard Chartered Added Another Promising Altcoin to Its List and Shared a Growth Forecast! 'It Could Grow 25 Times!'

British banking giant Standard Chartered has added another altcoin to its list of promising assets with growth potential: Chainlink (LINK). The bank has set a $200 price target for LINK by the end of 2030, representing a potential 25-fold increase from its current price of around $8. Standard Chartered argues that the anticipated boom in asset tokenization will require reliable blockchain data, positioning Chainlink as critical infrastructure connecting blockchains with external data and financial systems. The bank forecasts the tokenized asset market could reach approximately $4 trillion by 2030. The analysis notes that Chainlink has expanded beyond oracles to include interoperability, compliance, and privacy features, making it a comprehensive platform for both decentralized (DeFi) and traditional finance (TradFi). Growing adoption by institutions like Swift, DTCC, JPMorgan, and Mastercard is cited as supporting its growth trajectory. The bank concludes these factors could drive LINK to its $2030 target.

Moore Threads, Having Just Raised 8 Billion, Is Already Planning a Hong Kong IPO

On August 9th, Moore Threads announced plans for a Hong Kong IPO alongside a strong first-half 2026 earnings report. Listed on the Shanghai STAR Market in December 2025 as the "first domestic GPU stock," the company raised 8 billion yuan. Its stock price initially surged but has since fallen 40% from its peak. This decline followed market concerns over its use of substantial idle raised funds for low-risk financial products instead of promised projects. The company's H1 2026 revenue reached 1.74 billion yuan, a 147.4% year-over-year increase, already surpassing its full-year 2025 revenue. This growth is attributed to strong demand for AI and full-feature GPUs, particularly its Kuae AI computing clusters. Despite the revenue surge, Moore Threads remains unprofitable on a non-GAAP basis, with a net loss of 115 million yuan after adjustments. R&D and sales expenses grew significantly. The proposed Hong Kong listing aims to support its global strategy, attract international talent, and improve corporate governance, following the path of other Chinese tech firms pursuing dual listings. However, its港股 IPO valuation may face challenges as international investors could benchmark it against peers like Biren Technology, potentially demanding a discount. In summary, while Moore Threads is expanding rapidly and strategically seeking a港股 listing for global growth, it continues to face profitability challenges amid high costs and market skepticism about its capital allocation and valuation.

Hassabis Predicts: AI's 'Move 37' in Mathematics is Only a Matter of Time

Demis Hassabis, the co-founder of DeepMind, predicts that AI achieving a "Move 37" level breakthrough in mathematics—solving a major unsolved problem like a Millennium Prize problem—is only a matter of time. He draws a parallel to the pivotal "Move 37" in the 2016 AlphaGo vs. Lee Sedol match, where AI's unconventional play challenged human understanding. Conversely, Lee Sedol's "Move 78" victory highlighted human resilience and the potential for human-AI collaboration. The article details AI's rapid progress in mathematics. Starting from basic arithmetic errors in 2023, AI systems like AlphaProof and Gemini Deep Think reached gold-medal levels in the International Mathematical Olympiad by 2025. The shift from problem-solving to genuine research began in 2025, with AI (e.g., GPT-5, Claude Fable 5) contributing key ideas to solve or refute long-standing conjectures like the Erdős problem 848 and the Jacobian conjecture. In 2026, AI achieved breakthroughs such as OpenAI's solution to the plane unit-distance problem and DeepMind's Aletheia agent autonomously tackling multiple open problems. Hassabis envisions a "centaur" era of science, where human intuition guides AI in complex, less-verifiable fields like biology and drug discovery. While AI can enhance human creativity and efficiency, as seen in post-AlphaGo围棋, there is a risk of over-reliance diminishing human judgment. The core challenge is for humanity to find its own "Move 78"—leveraging AI while maintaining critical insight and direction.
