On August 21, Cryptopolitan reported that on August 20, attackers released malicious versions of three widely used Rust packages through a supply chain attack, with the library named arrayref being utilized by approximately three-quarters of Rust development environments. The malicious update concealed a backdoor that could automatically steal login information when users compiled their projects, potentially exposing the computers and keys of users who compiled the affected versions. Wiz researchers noted that the command and control paths of the arrayref attack overlap with those used by the North Korean hacker groups Sapphire Sleet and UNC1069 in their Mastra operation, sharing the same security certificate and hosting provider, Hostwinds. The attackers simply added a misspelled dependency for proc-macro1, mimicking the popular proc-macro2, without modifying the original code, allowing it to pass tests and builds. The attack was removed 86 minutes after its release but had already been downloaded extensively. The affected packages are widely used in Solana and Ethereum tools. The Rust team believes that the maintainer's actions were not malicious, and their device or credentials may have been compromised.

On August 21, Goldman Sachs MarketStrats stated that the U.S. Treasury's expansion of long-term Treasury bond repurchases can indeed alleviate long-end pressure in the short term. Referring to the Operation Twist in 1961 and the extension plan in 2011, historical policy tools have led to a decline of about 10-20 basis points in long-end rates. Goldman Sachs assesses that this round of repurchases, along with adjustments in issuance terms and balance sheet management, could potentially achieve a temporary drop in long-end yields of 20-40 basis points. However, Goldman Sachs remains cautious about the long-term effects. The current rise in long-end rates is driven not only by technical supply-demand mismatches but also by ongoing fiscal deficits, inflation uncertainties, and an increase in the equilibrium real interest rate. The report also emphasizes that capital expenditures in AI, data center construction, power infrastructure, and re-industrialization are continuously driving up capital demand across society. While Treasury repurchases can alleviate the market's short-term need to absorb duration supply, they are unlikely to change the overarching trend of rising capital costs and long-term interest rate levels.

On August 21, Goldman Sachs MarketStrats stated that the U.S. Treasury's expansion of long-term Treasury bond repurchases can indeed alleviate long-end pressure in the short term. Historical policy tools, such as the 1961 Operation Twist and the 2011 maturity extension program, have previously resulted in approximately 10 to 20 basis points of decline in long-end rates. Goldman Sachs assesses that this round of repurchases, adjustments to issuance maturities, and balance sheet management could potentially achieve a short-term decline of 20 to 40 basis points in long-end yields. However, Goldman Sachs remains cautious about the long-term effects. The current rise in long-end rates is driven not only by technical supply-demand mismatches but also by persistent fiscal deficits, inflation uncertainties, and an upward shift in the equilibrium real interest rate. The report also emphasizes that capital expenditures in AI, data center construction, power infrastructure, and reindustrialization are continuously driving up overall capital demand. While Treasury repurchases can alleviate the market's short-term need to absorb duration supply, they are unlikely to change the overarching trend of rising capital costs and an upward shift in long-term interest rate levels.

On August 21, according to the official X account of self-hosted stablecoin digital bank AllScale, the platform has launched the AllScale CLI command-line tool, allowing users to complete stablecoin receipts, payments, and account reconciliation directly from the terminal with a single installation. For receipts, a command can send detailed invoices to any valid email address, supporting USDT or USDC, without the recipient needing to register or establish a partnership in advance. For payments, users only need to approve spending limits once, including single transaction limits, total budget, and validity period, after which the script can run unattended. Each payment will create and fund a Claim Link, with the recipient not needing to provide a wallet address; this process is idempotent, meaning that tasks that fail midway will not result in duplicate payments. Each command prints JSON to standard output and returns 13 documented exit codes, allowing scripts or AI agents to automatically branch based on the results without needing to screenshot and verify pages. AllScale states that the CLI can be used in any environment that can run shell commands and is now available on npm under the package name @allscale/cli.

On August 21, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced that the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York has issued a supplemental consent order against Caroline Ellison, former CEO of Alameda Research, and Gary Wang, co-founder of Alameda and FTX, formally resolving the CFTC's enforcement actions against them. According to the court order, both Ellison and Wang are required to continue cooperating with the CFTC's investigation. Ellison has been imposed with a 5-year trading ban and a 10-year registration ban, while Wang faces a 5-year trading ban and an 8-year registration ban. The duration of the bans is calculated from the effective date of the initial consent order signed by both individuals on December 23, 2022. In 2022, the court found Ellison liable for two counts of fraud as alleged by the CFTC, while Wang was found liable for one count of fraud, and both have been permanently prohibited from violating the Commodity Exchange Act and related CFTC anti-fraud provisions. Notably, the CFTC is not currently seeking additional restitution, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, or civil penalties against Ellison and Wang. The decision was partly based on their significant cooperation during the investigation and related litigation, including pleading guilty in federal criminal cases and assisting in the investigation of FTX-related matters. David I. Miller, head of the CFTC's enforcement division, stated that while Ellison and Wang, as senior executives of Alameda and FTX, committed fraud and were found liable by the court, their ultimate penalties reflect the important assistance they provided to the CFTC's investigation. Additionally, both have acknowledged multiple offenses, including conspiracy to commit commodity fraud, in the related criminal cases, and jointly bear approximately $11.02 billion in forfeiture liability. This consent order signifies the formal conclusion of the CFTC's enforcement actions against Ellison and Wang.
