According to monitoring by Beating and a Caixin report, former major shareholders of Manus including Tencent, ZhenFund and Sequoia China have repurchased Manus shares from Meta for $2 billion. The $2 billion transaction price is close to the acquisition price announced by U.S. social media tech giant Meta in December 2025. Benchmark, Manus’ largest shareholder prior to its acquisition, will not participate in this repurchase. Benchmark’s former stake will be acquired by Tencent, which will become Manus’ largest shareholder. Manus is currently operating normally. The company announced yesterday that it will resume independent operations. To complete this transition and meet regulatory requirements in some jurisdictions, affected users must complete data backup by 7:59 a.m. Singapore time on August 23, and start data recovery from 8:00 a.m. on August 25 to ensure normal subsequent use. Manus also stated that it is preparing a series of new features to further expand the capabilities of its general-purpose AI agents, and expressed full confidence in the company’s prospects after resuming independent operations.

Robinhood Chain hit a historical network high of 11.6 million average daily transactions last week, up roughly 30% from the prior week; its total value locked (TVL) climbed to $473 million, a 32% week-over-week increase. However, average daily active addresses only rose 3.3% week-over-week, remaining 11% below its July 16 peak—though active addresses saw a brief spike on Thursday due to the launch of Cashcat meme coin spot trading on the Robinhood app, the weekly average barely shifted. The rapid growth in trading volume and TVL stands in stark contrast to stagnant user growth, indicating on-chain activity is now driven by the same users trading more frequently rather than attracting new participants. This trend is further confirmed by changes to Robinhood Chain’s stablecoin composition: Ethena’s yield-bearing synthetic dollar USDe now totals $253 million on the chain, accounting for ~43% of the chain’s total stablecoin supply, up from just $17 million a month ago when Robinhood’s native stablecoin USDG dominated. The network’s dollar base is shifting from a medium of exchange to yield-bearing synthetic dollars, signaling capital is being parked rather than circulated.

According to Bitget market data, South Korea’s KOSPI index expanded its intraday gain to 3.00%, with Samsung Electronics surging 5.22% and SK Hynix rising 2.95%.
