Resumo

Hawaii will implement a total ban on cryptocurrency ATMs and kiosks starting October 1, following the signing of House Bill 1642 into law by Governor Josh Green in July. The legislation prohibits the ownership, operation, or management of kiosks that exchange U.S. currency for digital assets. Lawmakers cited FBI data reporting over $11 billion in digital asset scam losses nationwide in 2025, with Hawaii residents filing 826 related complaints and incurring roughly $80 million in losses. Hawaii joins Minnesota, Tennessee, and Indiana in enacting such bans, while states like South Dakota and Wyoming have imposed strict regulations. According to CoinATMRadar, 57 crypto ATMs and kiosks were operational across Hawaii's main islands as of this week.

Hawaii will soon become the latest US state to enact a total ban on cryptocurrency kiosks and ATMs after its governor signed off on legislation.

Following the passage of House Bill 1642 by Hawaii’s legislature in May, Governor Josh Green signed the legislation into law in July, setting the US state for a complete prohibition on “the ownership, operation, or management of a digital financial asset transaction kiosk that accepts United States currency from a customer in exchange for a digital financial asset.”

The bill cited data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, which reported in April that Americans lost more than $11 billion from scams related to digital assets in 2025. The bureau added that it had recorded 826 complaints related to crypto from Hawaii residents in 2025, with the US state having about $80 million in losses from digital assets, including ATMs and kiosks.

Hawaii’s law follows similar legislation in Minnesota, Tennessee and Indiana, which began enforcing a total ban on digital asset kiosks in August, July and March, respectively. Other US state legislatures have proposed bans that have not been signed into law as of August, including Delaware and New Jersey, while South Dakota and Wyoming have passed laws placing strict guardrails on crypto ATM activities.

Data from CoinATMRadar showed that, as of Wednesday, there were 57 crypto ATMs and kiosks operating across four of Hawaii’s main islands.

Bitcoin is being 'buried' on social media. What does this mean for the cryptocurrency's price?

The article discusses a surge in negative sentiment on social media platforms like X, Reddit, and Telegram regarding Bitcoin, with users frequently using terms like "dead," "dying," and "over." According to analytics platform Santiment, this extreme pessimism often signals that retail investors' patience is waning and may historically precede a market reversal, as crypto markets tend to move against overly confident crowd sentiment. This current wave of "fear" coincides with Bitcoin's price trading in a narrow range below $63,000, a nearly 30% decline year-to-date, and record-low trading volumes. Santiment suggests that when "death of crypto" narratives peak while Bitcoin holds key support levels, it can indicate seller exhaustion and create opportunities for patient buyers. The broader context includes a challenging bear market for the crypto industry, with many projects failing and significant capital outflows from Bitcoin ETFs. The overall market sentiment, as measured by the Fear & Greed Index, remains firmly in "fear" territory, reflecting prolonged investor anxiety and a lack of volatility.

Grayscale Highlights Three Factors Contributing to the Long-Term Growth of Bitcoin's Popularity

Grayscale Research Head Zach Pandl highlighted three structural trends that could drive long-term Bitcoin adoption, regardless of short-term price volatility. First, persistent U.S. fiscal deficits and rising public debt (forecast to reach 120% of GDP by 2036) may increase investor interest in scarce assets like Bitcoin. Second, blockchain infrastructure is entering regulated finance, with tokenized assets (exceeding $34B) and stablecoins creating new regulatory frameworks that bridge crypto and traditional markets. Third, a generational shift in portfolio construction sees younger investors more willing to hold digital assets. Institutional surveys indicate 73% plan to increase crypto allocations by 2026. Adoption channels are widening via Bitcoin ETFs and corporate treasury holdings. Grayscale argues these factors—fiscal trends, blockchain integration, and demographic change—are likely to persist beyond any single market cycle.

Galaxy Reduces the Probability of CLARITY Act Passing to 10%

Galaxy Digital has slashed its odds for the U.S. Stablecoin Clarity Act (CLARITY) passing in 2026 to just 10%, down from 75% in May. According to Galaxy's Head of Firmwide Research, Alex Thorn, unresolved political issues—including ethics rules for officials involved in the crypto industry and banking sector pushback over stablecoin yield provisions—pose significant hurdles. With the Senate reconvening on September 14th, there will only be about two to three weeks for passage. Thorn warns the bill would need to dominate the entire legislative session to succeed, especially if an initial procedural vote isn't held immediately upon lawmakers' return. The CLARITY Act, which aims to establish the first U.S. regulatory framework for digital assets, cleared the Senate Banking Committee in May but faces opposition from most Democrats and banks. They argue it would let crypto companies offer yields on stablecoins without meeting the same requirements as banks. Despite a June push from over 200 crypto firms and organizations urging its passage, the legislation's prospects have dramatically diminished.

Ashenbrenner Fund Bought Shares of Memory Manufacturing Companies Before Losing 67% of Its Funds

Hedge fund Situational Awareness AI, managed by Leopold Aschenbrenner, lost 67% of its value in July, shortly after having nearly half of its U.S. stock portfolio invested in memory producers SanDisk and Micron, according to SEC filings. A 13F-HR filing from August 14th showed these two positions made up roughly 50% of the fund’s reported equity assets as of June 30th. An earlier March 31st 13F filing indicated a large public portfolio and put options linked to chipmakers. The fund's concentration in memory chips aligned with the AI boom's demand shift from training to inference, which is driving growth in corporate SSD and NAND markets, with prices expected to rise significantly. However, this correct thematic bet did not prevent massive losses. In a letter to investors, Aschenbrenner acknowledged the fund took steps to reduce leverage after facing liquidity issues, confirming the July loss and sale of most public assets. Despite this, Aschenbrenner remains committed to AI, with his firm investing $400 million in semiconductor equipment startup Source Foundry. The incident highlights the risks of concentrated, leveraged positions even within a high-growth sector projected to attract trillions in infrastructure investment.

How AI Agents Simplify Mastering Complex Web3 Tools

Coinfello has launched a major update, Fello 2, featuring an AI agent platform designed to simplify complex Web3 operations. Users can now create, execute, and automate on-chain financial strategies using simple language prompts. The update introduces an intent-based infrastructure that eliminates manual, multi-step interactions with dApps, replacing them with a single command. Traditionally, tasks like managing yield strategies or monitoring loan positions required juggling multiple applications, manual transaction approvals, and constant market monitoring. Fello 2 allows users to describe a strategy once; the AI agent then analyzes conditions, formulates an execution plan for user review, and handles continuous background monitoring and security. The platform operates on a non-custodial delegation model where the agent never holds private keys and proactively screens transactions to reject phishing attempts, drainer scripts, and blind signing requests. Users with standard wallets can monitor positions without a new wallet, only needing one with automation features for active fund transfers. Coinfello's COO, Minchi Park, stated that natural language interfaces address a core misconception in Web3 UX: they separate the mechanics of tools from financial literacy. The barrier is often not understanding financial risks, but the operational costs of navigating multiple chains and managing protocol approvals. She noted that these AI agents excel in complex edge cases, such as prioritizing margin protection over principal repayment during volatile market drops, and can calculate true net yield by factoring in gas and protocol fees. Park predicts that as agent-based workflows expand, dApp interfaces will become secondary to contract clarity and pure performance. "If a user's entry point is a prompt, your interface stops being the evaluation criteria," she said. Alongside Fello 2, Coinfello launched a rewards program paid in MON, Monad's native token, offering 100% fee rebates during an initial promo period. Future updates will allow earned rewards to be deposited into a self-custodied account managed by Fello for auto-compounding. A co-founder emphasized that Fello 2 converts manual processes into automated actions, managing schedules and conditions within the user's own wallet, with no unapproved operations.
