Thumzup Media Corporation, backed by Donald Trump Jr., has announced the appointment of Jordan Jefferson, the CEO and Co-Founder of DogeOS, to its Crypto Advisory Board. This move aligns with the company’s focus on advancing its cryptocurrency mining operations and fostering ecosystem growth.

According to the press release, Jefferson, who also leads a popular Dogecoin wallet MyDoge, has been involved in Bitcoin since 2011. He also has a lot of experience building tools and apps that make blockchain technology more useful.

Robert Steele, CEO of Thumzup shared, “We are honored to welcome Jordan to Thumzup’s Crypto Advisory Board. His leadership at DogeOS and MyDoge demonstrates a unique ability to deliver utility and adoption within the Dogecoin ecosystem. His insights and track record will be invaluable as we scale our digital asset initiatives.” 

DogeOS is App Layer for Dogecoin that lets people use their Dogecoin (DOGE) for things like gaming, earning extra returns, and using apps. DogeOS is backed by Polychain Capital, a well-known firm that invests in blockchain projects. 

Further, Jefferson shared his views on joining the advisory team, stating, “Thumzup is taking real steps to strengthen Dogecoin’s economy. At DogeOS, we’re focused on building tools that help turn Dogecoin into a productive asset for the community. The fact that Thumzup wants to utilize their DOGE to strengthen the ecosystem, instead of just holding onto it, is a huge step forward. Their mining operations will open more opportunities for DOGE to flow into applications that support both holders and builders.”

As per the firm, this initiative signals a deepened commitment of the firm to its digital asset strategy and expansion within the Dogecoin ecosystem. The appointment also comes on the heels of Thumzup’s recent $50 million capital raise and strategic initiatives to bolster its cryptocurrency sector presence. The Crypto Advisory Board aims to bring together blockchain industry leaders to accelerate the company’s digital asset strategy.

Thumzup to acquire DogeHash to enhance Dogecoin mining

In the same release, the firm also highlighted its plans to buy DogeHash, a company that mines Dogecoin using 2,500 high-tech mining machines, with 1,000 more top-quality miners expected to arrive later this year. The purchase needs approval from Thumzup’s shareholders through a vote. If approved, this acquisition will improve Thumzup’s ability to mine Dogecoin, and the company will share performance details after the deal. 

Earlier, on August 21, 2025, Thumzup also announced a series of agreements with Dogehash Acquisition, and shared that the firm has shifted towards Dogecoin mining.

The Countdown Has Begun for the BNB Chain Network Update Named Pasteur

The countdown has begun for the BNB Chain's upcoming hard fork, named "Pasteur," scheduled for the mainnet on August 25, 2026. Unlike previous updates focused on speed, Pasteur aims for comprehensive enhancements centered on security and network efficiency. It incorporates three key proposals under BEP-673: BEP-682 strengthens bridge validation, BEP-695 ensures proper validator key rotation to prevent undue power concentration, and BEP-675 increases block size while maintaining speed, allowing blocks to hold more transactions. These improvements are designed to enhance the security of the bridge, staking, and governance, while also boosting network capacity. The hard fork is currently active on the BSC testnet, and node operators are urged to upgrade to version 1.7.7 before the mainnet activation. This update aligns with BNB Chain's goal to double mainnet throughput and achieve a tenfold performance improvement in the latter half of the year.

Why Crypto Farms in Georgia Have Become a Subject of Dispute Over the Energy System

Former National Bank president and opposition politician Roman Gotsiridze claims cryptocurrency mining farms in Georgia are straining the national energy system while contributing almost nothing to the state budget, operating on tax and electricity tariff privileges. He states the farms consume about 6% of domestically generated electricity, or roughly 1 billion kilowatt-hours annually—equivalent to the consumption of Batumi—maintaining a constant load on the grid linked to frequent infrastructure failures. While not advocating a blanket ban, Gotsiridze argues mining should operate under general business conditions, competing and paying taxes. He alleges the largest farm is linked to Bidzina Ivanishvili's ruling party clan and benefits from unjustified preferential treatment. His core demand is an immediate ban on cryptocurrency mining in free industrial zones, removing its privileged status, as the sector consumes vast energy with minimal fiscal return for Georgia.

Fed Research: Crypto Investors Driven by Beliefs, Returns Change Their Decisions

A new working paper from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland provides a novel explanation for cryptocurrency's divergence from traditional financial assets. It finds that American crypto investors are distinguished not by demographics or risk tolerance alone, but by their radically different beliefs about future returns. This divergence in expectations better explains who owns crypto than factors like age or income, a reversal of the pattern seen with stocks or bonds. The research, based on surveys of up to 25,000 US households, shows crypto owners expected an average 22% annual return, compared to just 7% for non-owners. A one-percentage-point increase in an individual's expected return was linked to a 0.8-point rise in ownership likelihood. A randomized experiment revealed that simply showing information about Bitcoin's past 12-month performance increased respondents' desired crypto portfolio share by about 47% and spurred subsequent purchases, primarily among those who previously felt uninformed. The study suggests this dynamic—where past gains attract new buyers, pushing prices higher and reinforcing bullish beliefs—could fuel speculative bubbles. It also indicates crypto wealth gains are treated more like "gambling winnings" than permanent income, boosting purchases of durable goods but not everyday spending. The broader conclusion is that crypto volatility stems partly from investor disagreement and learning, not just market fundamentals. With widespread misunderstanding and shifting expectations driven by performance data, price swings are likely to remain a defining feature of the asset class. Future retail demand may depend not just on Bitcoin's price, but on what information investors receive about its past performance.

Bitcoin Fork ECX, Created by Paul Sztorc, Surpasses 25,000 Blocks in Just 13 Hours

The ECX Bitcoin fork, created by Drivechain developer Paul Sztorc, launched its alpha phase at Bitcoin block height 963,648. Remarkably, the network surpassed 25,000 blocks in just 13 hours due to its initial difficulty being set to 1, mirroring Bitcoin's 2009 launch. By Sunday morning, August 23, the difficulty had already skyrocketed to 16.78 million after several adjustments, with miners contributing a hashrate of 3.53 PH/s to the chain. This level of support from multiple mining pools starkly contrasts with the failed BIP-110 event earlier in the month, which lacked miner backing. While ECX has attracted real mining power and has a small number of wallets, the ecash (ECX) token currently has no established market value and is not yet listed on exchanges. Its economic viability will face a significant test after the initial mining surge subsides and block rewards diminish, especially during the long wait until the network's final phase is scheduled for launch on October 31, 2026. The early activity demonstrates technical feasibility, but sustained growth will depend on whether it can maintain miner interest and attract listings from wallets and exchanges in the absence of a tradable price.
