Renowned crypto KOL Ansem posted on pump.fun that the NetNet Capital protocol is an innovative DeFi mechanism on the Robinhood chain. “The protocol’s token NET is a reserve share backed by at least 1 USDG in the protocol’s on-chain asset portfolio. NetNet Capital accumulates productive assets such as stablecoins and stocks through multiple mechanisms. If the net asset value (NAV) is 1.75 times the base treasury, NET token stakers can earn a 1.2% daily return. Its current trading price is approximately 11 times the treasury, and the treasury’s growth rate is far outpacing the 1.2% NET issuance rate,” Ansem explained. Additionally, Ansem noted that the protocol’s founder has given several interviews, stating he has discussed future collaborations with the Robinhood team and previously worked on the NBA Topshot project. Transaction records show Ansem invested $57,600 on pump.fun to purchase NET tokens. As of press time, per GMGN market data, NET’s market cap stands at $51.47 million, with a 24-hour gain of 61.66%.

Beating AI Express News reports that Skild AI, a general-purpose robot brain company, has launched its next-generation robot foundation model S1. Its biggest breakthrough is that teaching robots new tasks no longer requires model retuning: users only need to show it a human demonstration video, and the robot can directly learn by example. The tasks demonstrated by the official lasted up to over 10 minutes, including previously untrained scenarios such as flipping pancakes, hand-brewing coffee, and repotting plants. S1 treats the demonstration video directly as a prompt to generate corresponding robot actions. In the repotting experiment, it took just 11 minutes from the start of recording the human demonstration to the robot initiating its own execution. Even if interrupted or encountering errors mid-task, the model adjusts based on the current environment instead of mechanically repeating actions from the video. In Skild’s internal evaluation, both models were pre-trained using the same 100,000 hours of data. When tackling unseen new tasks, S1 achieved an average single-step success rate of 66%, while traditional language-instructed Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models only hit 9%. The latter would need to collect roughly 380 additional task demonstrations and undergo fine-tuning to match S1’s performance after watching a single video. S1 has now been deployed to a small number of industrial clients, with plans to expand its client base in the coming months.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. noted that Bitcoin’s on-chain fund flows showed directional improvement in the second half of August. The realized market cap relative to net position change rose to +0.10% on August 24, marking the first positive reading since May 28, and climbed further to +0.21% as of August 26, signaling the end of the net capital outflow state that had persisted for nearly three months. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s 30-day apparent demand/new supply ratio has stayed above 1 for six consecutive days, with the latest figure at 2.52, meaning 30-day apparent demand is roughly 2.5 times the new BTC issued in the same period. This metric hit a low of -6.93 on August 2 and peaked at 3.16 on August 21. That said, the absolute strength of both indicators remains low. Since 2024, the median of realized market cap during positive periods stands at +3.24%, while the current +0.21% falls only in the bottom 3-4% of positive samples. The historical median of the apparent demand ratio when it is above 1 is 7.65, and the current 2.52 is also in the bottom 10% of readings. Adler added that the more critical signal at present is that fund flows have shifted from net outflow to small net inflow, and demand has once again outpaced new supply, though a robust new demand cycle cannot yet be confirmed. Going forward, it will be necessary to monitor whether realized market cap can stay positive and whether apparent demand can expand further.

According to TechCrunch, social media platform X has sent cease-and-desist letters to open-source project Nitter and multiple related instances, demanding they permanently take down the relevant services and project code repositories. Nitter allows users to browse public posts without logging into X or opening its official app, and is used by multiple third-party sites including XCancel. Nitter’s official website shows X sent the legal letters on August 24; nitter.net is now offline, and project development has been temporarily halted. Project creator Zedeus said they are seeking legal advice, and other Nitter instances have also received similar letters. X accuses Nitter of illegally using and bypassing its API to scrape X data, and accessing X accounts and session tokens, violating platform rules and relevant state and federal laws. X demanded Nitter cease operations by 5 PM ET on August 25. This is not the first time X has restricted Nitter. In 2024, after X tightened its API, nitter.net was briefly taken offline; the project later resumed development, but hosted instances require connections to real X accounts.
