According to The Kobeissi Letter, approximately 390 U.S.-listed ETFs were launched over the past two months, marking the largest two-month increase in issuance in the history of the U.S. ETF market and more than tripling the level recorded in early 2024. Around 54% of ETFs launched this year employ derivatives strategies, while more than one-third are leveraged or inverse products. Fund issuers have filed applications for more than 1,000 leveraged ETFs so far this year, indicating that product innovation is rapidly shifting toward highly volatile and increasingly complex strategies. Issuance is expected to remain elevated.
According to DeFi Kingdoms, DFK Chain, which was built as an Avalanche L1, will cease operations on August 28. The team is currently prioritizing the secure migration of player assets to Avalanche C-Chain and plans to release more detailed migration procedures in the coming weeks. It will also make its SDK available, allowing third-party developers to continue building with DeFi Kingdoms’ existing systems, game mechanics, and on-chain assets. Users should closely monitor official migration notices to avoid losing access to asset operations after the network or cross-chain gateways shut down.
According to Minicoin’s official announcement, Minicoin, an IP RWA network built on Creditcoin, has received official authorization from IPX. Its native token, MINI, will become the first public-sale project on PenguinSwap Launchpad. The platform plans to mint each intellectual property asset as an IP NFT representing full ownership and use MINI for revenue settlement through smart contracts. It will also provide creator and fan incentives alongside AI-powered creation tools. Users can qualify for the MINI public sale by leveling up and minting SBTs through “minini universe: ROOM.”
According to Odaily, Standard Chartered’s Huen Wai-yi said the bank and Anchorpoint Financial have continued testing since obtaining a stablecoin license in April, including exploring public-blockchain applications in cross-border settlement and tokenized assets. Anchorpoint Financial will adopt a business-to-business-to-consumer model rather than serving end users directly. Approved distributors will provide services to corporations, institutions, SMEs, traders, service providers, fund companies, and individual users. The company will sign distributors after announcing the stablecoin, with the list of distributors and specific use cases expected to be released soon.
According to CNBC, a growing number of retail investors are using artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT and Claude to research stocks, build personalized trading systems, monitor portfolios, rebalance assets, execute tax-loss harvesting strategies, and develop trading plans. AI investment tools are gradually progressing from information organization and stock-selection assistance toward intelligent advisory and automated execution. However, broad adoption remains constrained by algorithmic transparency, the ability to understand individual financial goals, and appropriate risk matching. Preventing model errors, excessive authorization, and trades that conflict with users’ preferences is likely to become a major regulatory priority.
According to CoinDesk, trading volume for perpetual futures linked to equities, indices, and commodities on crypto platforms reached $1.32 trillion during the first five months of 2026. These products allow users to obtain round-the-clock price exposure to traditional assets such as the S&P 500 without directly owning the underlying securities or receiving shareholder rights and investor protections. Platforms including Coinbase and Binance are developing an “everything exchange” model that combines crypto assets, equities, and derivatives. However, large funds remain cautious about decentralized trading venues.
According to NATE, South Korea’s Financial Services Commission and Financial Supervisory Service are advancing amendments to the Capital Markets Act that would give regulators emergency powers to adjust leverage multiples for single-stock ETFs and impose individual investment limits during abnormal market volatility. Regulators are also considering a standardized investment cap of approximately 20% and the introduction of live trading simulations. On July 31, South Korea raised the minimum margin requirement for these products from KRW 10 million to KRW 30 million. Trading volume across 16 affected products fell to approximately KRW 3 trillion on the first day of the new rules, about 80% below the July 29 level.
According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi, the DRAM Memory ETF, described as the first pure-play memory ETF listed in the United States, has added ChangXin Memory Technologies at a portfolio weight of 2.52%. Established on April 2, 2026, the ETF has $24.55 billion in assets. Its return once reached 190% and remained at 161.5% following a pullback in the memory sector. Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix together account for more than 73% of the fund, while ChangXin has become another A-share memory company included after GigaDevice. ChangXin’s initial listing period without daily price limits will end next Monday.
According to CNBC, Nexus Data Centers is preparing approximately $15 billion in financing to build an AI data-center campus in Hubbard, Texas, which will later be leased by Anthropic. Morgan Stanley will lead the associated bank financing. Google will use its investment-grade credit rating to guarantee Anthropic’s lease obligations and related energy agreements involving four data-center projects and a 1.6 GW natural gas power plant. Google is expected to receive an approximately 20% equity stake in return. The structure demonstrates how AI infrastructure financing is becoming increasingly dependent on the balance sheets of major technology companies.
According to Cointelegraph, Russia will expand cryptocurrency mining restrictions to Moscow, the Moscow Region, and parts of the Kursk Region. The new rules will take effect on August 15, 2026, and remain in force until December 31, 2032. Under Russian Government Resolution No. 936, the additional restrictions are primarily intended to address pressure on local electricity supplies. Moscow and the Moscow Region currently have 65 data centers connected to the power grid, with a combined capacity of approximately 734 MW. Local energy authorities believe restrictions on electricity-intensive mining will help manage growing demand from data-center expansion.

Recently, the FBI warned that scammers are impersonating staff from the Internet Crime Complaint Center, or IC3, through phone calls, emails, social media, and AI-generated videos. They target previous fraud victims by falsely claiming that they can recover lost funds, then direct them to fake IC3 websites to submit identity, financial, and crypto transaction information or demand additional “recovery fees.” These secondary recovery scams may expose personal information and cause victims to lose more assets. Users should enter IC3.gov directly in their browsers to verify information, avoid advertisements and complaint links sent by strangers, and never send cryptocurrency to purported law-enforcement personnel. IC3 does not contact users through platforms such as Telegram or Facebook and does not charge fees to recover assets.
