10 #Bitcoin ETFs outflows 4,964 $BTC(-$458.3M) and 9 #Ethereum ETFs outflows 4,701 $ETH(-$15.21M) yesterday.

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen shared key takeaways from her earlier live stream on social media, including: 1. Affected assets include ETH, XRP, BNB, AVAX, USDT, USDC and other tokens, spanning Ethereum, XRP Ledger, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, BSC and Base. All on-chain cold wallets have been confirmed secure and were not impacted. 2. Bitget has contacted all affected chain foundations; some foundations have confirmed freezing hacker wallet addresses. The team will continue to follow up on relevant channels and release updates. 3. Bitget stated that based on IP behavioral characteristics and on-chain analysis, the attack method is highly consistent with known patterns of North Korean hacker groups. The platform has reported the incident to relevant authorities and is cooperating with global investigations. 4. Bitget Wallet operates on fully independent infrastructure from the Bitget exchange. This incident had no impact on Bitget Wallet, and all assets in Bitget Wallet are completely secure. 5. Regarding the platform’s financial status, Bitget said that in addition to its over $464 million protection fund, its own assets exceed $1 billion, with user funds fully backed at a 1:1 ratio, and all related data is verifiable on-chain. 6. On the timeline for resuming withdrawals, Bitget noted its goal is to complete a full recovery as soon as possible. A specific time window will be announced immediately once confirmed, and the platform will not commit to unachievable deadlines.

Beating AI News Brief: Stealth-mode startup Ando has closed a $20 million funding round to build a new Slack alternative designed for both humans and AI agents. The round was backed by Accel, Index Ventures, and Emergence. Ando retains core features like channels, direct messages, group chats, and voice calls, but AI agents have their own identities, permissions, and inboxes. Agents can independently browse and join channels, eliminating the need for humans to tag them (@) to trigger actions, and can proactively reach out to other team members. It supports integration with various AI agents including Codex, Claude, Grokbot, and Devin; teams without existing agents can also use Ando’s hosted version directly. Ando itself has fully stopped using Slack. For example, when a user reports a bug in a chat, agents can independently take the task, assign mobile-related work to another agent, and have a third agent review the code. If the same issue is discussed across multiple channels, agents can proactively pull together relevant personnel and fill in context gaps. Currently, teams across industries including software, real estate, and finance in 15 countries are using Ando.

Insight Beating AI Flash News: Agent collaboration platform Raft, founded by Richard Qian, former author of Kimi CLI, has released its source code, but is temporarily not accepting external Pull Requests and has not made its internal commit history public. The public GitHub repository is only a release mirror; actual development remains in a private repo, with a full code snapshot synced each version release. The Raft team argues that coding agents have made writing code far too cheap. Generating a seemingly reasonable patch is easy, even generating ten at once is not difficult, but maintainers still spend significant time understanding, verifying, and reviewing this code. In many cases, after reviewing code generated by others using agents, maintainers would rather have their own agents reimplement the code per requirements. Thus, the team aims to explore a "Prompt Request" model: contributors will not necessarily submit code directly, but first outline the problem to solve, its value, and constraints and tradeoffs, before maintainers and agents decide on implementation. This mechanism is not yet officially open; Raft’s GitHub Pull Requests and Issues are currently closed. Raft also challenges the value of traditional commit history. The team believes that with agents in development, rather than tracking every code change, "decision history"—including why changes were made, what approaches were tested, and issues identified by agents—may be more useful. Notably, Raft is source-available, not traditional open source. The FSL-1.1-ALv2 license permits users to view, run, and modify the code, but prohibits using it to offer competing commercial products or services. Each version will automatically convert to Apache 2.0 two years after release.

Poker pro and crypto investor Hu Zhewen made heavy bets in three crypto booms, including algorithmic stablecoins and AI tokens, but suffered a string of losses. Between May 2021 and May 2022, he poured around $80 million into algorithmic stablecoin TerraUSD (UST) and its sister token LUNA. At its peak, his holdings were worth over $800 million, but LUNA’s price later plummeted to near zero. Hu claimed he once invested in blockchain project Stratis, earning a return of “over 1,000 times”. Hu has filed a lawsuit in Chicago, U.S., against global quantitative trading giant Jump Trading, its crypto-related affiliates and executives, seeking at least $500 million in damages. Separately, Hu bet on a new project by Chinese computer professor Zhang Yongfeng last January. Zhang joined Tsinghua University’s Department of Computer Science in 2007 and currently serves as a tenured associate professor in the Department of Computer Science at Rutgers University in the U.S. He has been sued by Hu on multiple charges including “securities fraud”. The token issued by Zhang’s institution, in which Hu invested millions of dollars, has fallen more than 99.6% from its 2025 peak, according to reports. Public records show Hu is a world-class Texas Hold’em poker player: the World Series of Poker (WSOP) website currently lists 58 money finishes, 5 final table appearances and total tournament earnings of around $1.67 million for him. Four years ago, in the $10,000 buy-in SuperMILLION$ high-stakes tournament, Hu reached heads-up against a New Zealand professional player, finishing second and taking home nearly $760,000 — the largest single-event prize of his documented poker career.

According to a report by The Jerusalem Post, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told reporters on Thursday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York that Iran has submitted a proposal to the United States to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days. Araghchi stated that the proposal will be advanced based on the memorandum of understanding reached between the two countries in June this year, but will only be implemented if specific conditions are met. He said, "I think it would be better if this could be completed before the U.S. midterm elections, but that depends on the decision of the U.S. government." Araghchi also noted that Iran does not care about the specific timeline and is in no hurry to push forward with this process.

According to a report from Spartan Capital, Robinhood Chain launched its mainnet on July 1, 2026. As of the end of August, on-chain DEX trading volume rose to $1.5 billion, total value locked (TVL) increased to $711 million, and on-chain gas revenue hit $6.6 million in August. The report shows that most of Robinhood Chain’s August trading volume came from Uniswap, with on-chain fees peaking at $2.1 million on August 31. Robinhood operates the sequencer and collects approximately 90% of on-chain fees. After deducting Ethereum settlement costs and a 10% licensing fee paid to Arbitrum DAO, net revenue in August was around $6 million. For Robinhood Earn, users deposit USDG to lend via Morpho. The deposit size grew from $9.5 million on July 1 to $456 million on August 31, accounting for 68% of Robinhood Chain’s TVL at the end of that month. Users earn an estimated annual percentage yield (APY) of around 7%, while the lending side’s APY stood at roughly 3.7% at the end of August. The difference is subsidized by reward funds from Morpho and its lending partners. Meanwhile, Robinhood Chain’s meme ecosystem is growing rapidly. As of the end of August, over 340,000 tokens had been issued on the chain, and August application-layer fees reached $114 million. The report notes that trading volume for meme tokens paired with tokenized stocks is also surging; August trading volume for meme tokens paired with Robinhood Stock Tokens hit $518 million. The report points out that current trading activity on Robinhood Chain is still mainly driven by crypto-native users, and Robinhood’s 27 million funded accounts have not yet migrated to the chain on a large scale. Gas subsidies for Robinhood Wallet will remain in effect until September 29, and Robinhood Earn’s APY is also scheduled to be gradually reduced.
