Data from DeFiLlama shows that on-chain trading activity on Robinhood Chain has continued to heat up over the past 24 hours. Its DEX trading volume hit an all-time high of roughly $1.673 billion, ranking second among all blockchains—only behind Solana ($2.454 billion), and surpassing Ethereum Mainnet ($1.378 billion), BSC ($1.093 billion), and Base ($838 million). In terms of network layer fees, Robinhood Chain generated approximately $3.75 million in Chain Fees over the same period, up around 76% from the prior day, and remains first in DeFiLlama’s chain metrics.

Calculated via DeFiLlama’s on-chain economic model, Robinhood Chain’s on-chain revenue over the past 24 hours reached roughly $3.38 million, also rising around 76% day-over-day. It far outperformed Base ($119,000), Solana ($86,700), Ethereum ($59,700), and BSC ($51,000), and is approximately 10.7 times the combined revenue of these four chains.

Beating AI News Flash: NetEase UU Overhauls Remote Terminal Features Mobile users can now create multiple terminal sessions simultaneously, each running coding agents like Claude Code and Grok Build. Tasks won’t terminate when exiting the page, and users can return to check progress at any time. Previously, UU Terminal only supported one session at a time, making parallel multi-agent operations nearly unworkable. The mobile version has also added TUI (Terminal User Interface) support. Menus, selectors, and status bars for tools like Claude Code and Grok Build now display properly and support direct touch selection. Input now leverages the phone’s system keyboard, greatly simplifying typing Chinese, using voice input, and entering special characters. A key practical update is cross-device takeover: terminal tasks started on mobile can be resumed directly on Mac via the command `uuyc-cli lterm attach`; sessions opened on desktop will also sync to mobile when users are out, eliminating the need to restart tasks or re-access history. UU has also expanded its `uuyc-cli`: terminal sessions can be created, queried, connected to, and closed via commands directly; device control, remote assistance, and other operations are also supported through the CLI, with query results available in JSON format. This means UU is not only operable by humans, but also directly callable by agents and automation scripts.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost wrote in a post that signs of weakening demand are emerging in Bitcoin’s futures market. Data shows the 30-day average net aggressive buy volume has started to decline after a period of relatively strong growth, a trend similar to that seen in May 2026. On August 19, when Bitcoin broke through $65,000, the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio rose to 1.21 at one point, but market optimism has faded as investors gradually increased their short positions. Currently, the 30-day average net aggressive buy volume has plummeted from $213.7 billion to $97.8 billion in just a few days, a drop of over 50%; meanwhile, the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio has remained negative since August 30. This metric, which compares the volume of aggressive buy and sell orders in the futures market, reflects investor sentiment and position changes in the futures market. The analysis notes that futures market trading volume is still significantly higher than that of spot and ETF markets, so its capital flows have a strong influence on overall market trends. In the short term, signs of deterioration are emerging in the Bitcoin market; weakening futures demand and rising short positions may further weigh on price performance.
