The desk's complete reporting record, newest first.

UBS's quarterly filing with the SEC, accepted on 13 August, shows 1.95 million IBIT call underlying shares at 30 June against 80,000 three months earlier, while its put line more than halved.
$ZAMA is now in the Revolut app, with a Learn and Earn campaign to follow. The token is a plain ERC-20 by default with an optional confidential mode, which is the feature the EU's 2027 money-laundering rulebook describes by name.
Futures, perpetuals and options across more than 170 contracts at up to 50x leverage, on the MiFID permission Coinbase won in July. The permission sits inside CB Payments Ltd, the entity the FCA fined £3.5m in 2024.
Mandatory signalling for BIP-110 opened at block 961,632 on Saturday evening. That block did not signal, so nodes enforcing the rule rejected it. Our own count of the chain puts miner support at 51 blocks in 2,016.
BTCPay Server shipped an emergency release on 7 August after confirming that an unauthenticated remote attacker could pull the .macaroon credential files for a connected LND node. The project says the flaw was exploited and funds were stolen.
Consensys opened its wallet for autonomous trading agents to everyone on 6 August, with a mandatory scanning pipeline and $10,000 of Transaction Protection in the headline. The cover is a subscription, Consensys says it is not insurance, and MetaMask's own British page will not sell it here.

Zcash activated Ironwood today at block 3,428,143, sealing the Orchard shielded pool and metering every coin out through a turnstile. The counterfeiting flaw behind it sat undiscovered for years and was found in May by a researcher working with an AI model.
An attacker seized ownership of a WEMIX$ contract on 26 July and minted 5,225,525 tokens from nothing. WEMIX halted its bridges, CCIP, DEX and NFT market. The stablecoin now trades at about a penny.

At Galaxy Unpacked on 22 July, Samsung signalled that Samsung Wallet will support stablecoins. It is a real signal from the world's biggest phone maker, but so far it is a keynote intention that Samsung's own newsroom has yet to put in writing.
The North Korea-linked wallet that drained Drift Protocol of about $285 million in April moved $44.4 million into Tornado Cash on 23 July. Here is the on-chain trail, the attribution and why the money is unlikely to come back.

Franklin Templeton says crypto's killer app is not people at all, but AI agents paying each other fractions of a penny. Why the technical case is real, and what the report tells investors to do about it: hold the chains' tokens.
Three protocols, AFX Trade, Verus and B² Network, lost a combined $35.55m on 23 July 2026: AFX from its USDC bridge, Verus to a repeat of its May flaw with the funds sent through Tornado Cash, and B² after its staking upgrade key was seized.
Pavel Durov says a native non-custodial Gram wallet is coming to every Telegram app this summer. What is actually new, how it differs from the wallet already there, and the obstacles between the promise and a billion users.

Crypto trading desks have a new obsession, and the Bitcoin Fed rate decision nexus is it.
Amid a summer of red candles, the Bitget Wallet 100 million users announcement is the sort of milestone that says more about crypto's direction than any price chart.
The push for a CLARITY Act Senate vote reached its most theatrical moment yet on 17 July, when the House Financial Services Committee decamped to Federal Hall in New York, the building where the first Congress once sat, for a field hearing titled Building the Future of Finance: How the CLARITY Act U
The half-year security ledger is in, and the headline reading on crypto hacks 2026 is deceptively cheerful. CertiK's Hack3D report counts 1,315,676,432 dollars stolen across 344 on-chain incidents in the first six months, a 46.8 per cent drop from the same period last year.
The Ethereum Glamsterdam upgrade will not arrive on its original June schedule.
On 1 July, a new nonprofit called Ethereum Institutional opened its doors with a mandate that would have sounded heretical in the network's cypherpunk youth: act as a single, neutral point of contact for banks, asset managers and enterprises that want to build on Ethereum but have no idea whom to ri
Today, 18 July 2026, is the statutory deadline for the GENIUS Act stablecoin rules, and Washington has spent the past month in an uncharacteristic sprint to meet it.
Metaplanet Bitcoin holdings crossed a threshold on 2 July that would have read as satire two years ago: the Tokyo-listed firm bought another 2,823 BTC for roughly 170 million dollars, lifting its stack to a round 43,000 BTC and cementing its place as the world's third-largest publicly traded bitcoin
The Ostium hack of 15 July is the most instructive DeFi exploit of the summer precisely because nothing malfunctioned.
There is stubborn, and then there is the Solana ETF investor. Solana ETF inflows have stayed positive on every single trading day of July so far, a streak that would be unremarkable in a bull market and is borderline eccentric in this one.
