Özet

Nasdaq-listed crypto treasury firm ZeroStack has warned there is "substantial doubt" about its ability to continue operating over the next year, reversing its assessment from just three months prior. The company reported an $82.5 million fair value loss on digital assets and a net loss of $61.3 million for the first half of 2026. As of June 30, it held $2.6 million in cash, had negative working capital, and an accumulated deficit of $339.1 million. A key issue is the drastic devaluation of its 75.1 million Zero Gravity (0G) tokens, which had a fair value of only $15.2 million against a recorded cost of $163.3 million—a 91% decline. ZeroStack relies on staking rewards and token sales to fund operations, making its liquidity heavily dependent on the price and trading liquidity of 0G. While it earned $3.8 million in staking revenue and sold tokens for $2.4 million in the first half of the year, management stated it cannot conclude these plans will be enough to ensure survival. The company, formerly cannabis firm Flora Growth, rebranded after announcing a $401 million 0G treasury strategy in September. Its latest filing marks a stark reversal from its previous quarter's assertion that its resources were sufficient for at least another year.

Nasdaq-listed crypto treasury company ZeroStack warned that substantial doubt exists about its ability to continue operating over the next year, reversing its assessment from three months earlier.

In a Form 10-Q filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Friday, ZeroStack reported $2.6 million in cash, negative working capital of $600,000 and an accumulated deficit of $339.1 million as of June 30. The company also posted an $82.5 million fair value loss on digital assets and a net loss of $61.3 million for the first half of 2026.

ZeroStack said its 75.1 million Zero Gravity (0G) tokens had an aggregate cost of $163.3 million and a fair value of $15.2 million as of June 30, leaving the holdings valued about 91% below their recorded costs.

ZeroStack relies on staking rewards and token sales to fund operations, making its ability to raise cash dependent on 0G’s price and trading liquidity.

ZeroStack’s 0G strategy faces a liquidity test

ZeroStack reported $3.8 million in staking revenue during the first half of the year, earning about 6.6 million 0G tokens after validator commissions. It sold nearly 4.9 million tokens for $2.4 million to fund its operating expenses.

The company expects its cash and staking reward sales to cover forecast operating costs and said it could sell some of its treasury holdings if needed. However, management said it could not conclude that those plans would be enough to ease doubts about its ability to continue operating.

The latest assessment reverses the company’s position in its previous two reports. In its first-quarter filing, ZeroStack said its cash and staking rewards would be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements and obligations for at least another year.

The company was previously the cannabis and CBD products firm Flora Growth. On Sept. 19, Flora announced $401 million in funding for a 0G treasury strategy, including $35 million in cash and equivalent commitments and more than $366 million in in-kind digital assets. The company subsequently rebranded as ZeroStack and retained its Nasdaq listing.

Soaring 20% Then Dropping 5%: When Will the Bottom of the Korean Stock Market Be?

"South Korean stocks face a turbulent period as the KOSPI index, after a 20% surge, fell 5% to 6257 points. The market is grappling with severe issues: over 500,000 leveraged retail accounts have been liquidated, and more than 24 trillion won has flowed from stocks into bank deposits for safety. This reflects a significant loss of market liquidity and shaken investor confidence. In response, Korean financial regulators are taking action. They have tripled the minimum保证金 (margin) requirement for single-stock leveraged ETF trades to 30 million won and are considering granting themselves "emergency intervention" powers. These could include capping leverage ratios and setting investment limits on these ETFs, seen by many as amplifying market volatility. Initial results show a 75% drop in these products' trading volume post-regulation. The market downturn has political repercussions, pushing President Yoon Suk-yeol's approval rating to a new low. Meanwhile, foreign investors made a record net purchase of 7.18 trillion won during a recent rebound, while domestic retail investors sold off massively. Morgan Stanley has upgraded South Korean stocks to "overweight," citing the ongoing "leverage unwinding" and potential for a 36% upside, with giants like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix providing valuation support. However, analysts caution that the market's structure remains vulnerable to foreign capital flows, and the current low may not be the bottom."

Goldman Sachs Stakes a Clear Position: This Is the Largest Capital Demand Cycle in Human History, and the Fed Is Just an Observer

Goldman Sachs argues that the world is entering the most capital-intensive investment cycle in history, driven by concurrent massive demands from AI infrastructure, reindustrialization, defense reinvestment, power grid rebuilding, supply chain realignment, and sovereign debt financing. This structural competition for capital is pushing its cost higher, fundamentally altering investment paradigms. Goldman's Mark Wilson states that the Federal Reserve is merely a "passenger, not the driver" in this shift, with rising yields rooted in these real economy demands rather than just monetary policy. While major indices appeared calm in July, underlying market movements were historic, featuring extreme stock dispersion and a severe momentum factor crash, leading to significant de-risking by fund managers. Wilson cautions against expecting a quick reversal in August, citing ongoing digestion of higher rates, disrupted risk models, and typically muted market performance ahead of US midterm elections. Corporate fundamentals remain robust with strong earnings, though growth rates are peaking in the US while accelerating in Europe. Notably, hyperscale cloud companies like Amazon and Microsoft are announcing staggering capital expenditure projections for 2027-2028, justified by explosive AI-related revenue growth and high returns. Amazon revealed its AI revenue run-rate exceeds $25 billion, growing triple-digits annually, and expressed confidence that AWS could become a trillion-dollar revenue business. The report concludes that a transitional period is underway, marked by a growing tension between aggressively investing private tech giants and increasingly capital-constrained sovereign governments. The AI super-cycle continues, with August likely being a consolidation phase.

Flowra Integrates Compliance Checks into Solana Blockchain

Flowra, an infrastructure platform for validators and order flow management on the Solana network, has partnered with compliance infrastructure provider Honeypot. The companies are integrating sanctions risk checks and other threat assessments directly into the block production process. This integration will combine Honeypot's compliance data with Flowra's Programmable Block Policy (PBP) system, enabling institutional validators to set custom rules for which transactions and bundles can be included in blocks. The system will screen wallet addresses linked to sanctioned entities and analyze network signals like VPN, proxy, and Tor exit node usage, reportedly identifying 31% to 61% of traffic using network obfuscation tools. Each validator will define its own compliance policy. The initial focus is on sanctions screening, wallet checks, and providing auditability for regulated financial institutions.

Outflow of Stablecoins from South Korea Continues for 18 Consecutive Months, Exceeding $360 Million in June

In June 2026, South Korea experienced a net outflow of stablecoins to overseas crypto exchanges, amounting to 560.3 billion won ($367 million). This represents approximately 78% of the net value of foreign stocks purchased by Korean investors in the same period. According to the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), this marks the 18th consecutive month of net outflows, a trend ongoing since January 2025. The FSS reported that 2.76 trillion won ($1.8+ billion) in stablecoins were withdrawn from the country's five major exchanges to foreign platforms in June, while 2.2 trillion won ($1.4 billion) flowed back in. The second quarter of 2026 saw a significant net outflow of 1.69 trillion won (~$1.1 billion), surpassing net sales of foreign stocks in the same period. Analysts cite access to unavailable domestic financial instruments as a primary driver. Foreign platforms offer crypto derivatives, spot and futures products tied to major Korean stocks like Samsung and Hyundai, along with RWA tokenization, DeFi, staking, and leveraged products. Lawmaker Lee Jong-wook warned that the stablecoin outflows constitute capital flight, exposing investors to risks on unregulated foreign platforms. He called for accelerated regulatory reform and enhanced investor protection measures. The government is reportedly working on a digital assets law to foster the blockchain sector.
