Happy Monday!
We’re kicking off another week with a quick catch-up on the weekend’s must-read headlines, a look at our top partner offer, and, as always, a quiz to test your market knowledge. Let’s go.
Geo: Global (subject to regional restrictions)
Dates: Until September 9, 2026
Up for grabs: A share of up to 3 million USDT, plus F1 prizes and a Singapore Grand Prix trip
Toobit has turned futures trading into a month-long motorsport tournament, with six teams competing across solo and team championships.
Participants can earn rewards through trading, deposits, referrals and other platform activities, with prizes ranging from USDT bonuses and F1 merchandise to a trip to the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix. Early registrants can also claim additional bonuses while allocations last.
Bitcoin stolen through the Coldcard wallet flaw has now passed $115 million, according to new Galaxy Research data.
The firm traced 1,778.58 BTC swept from 8,680 addresses since July 30. The first attack wave did most of the damage, draining $70.2 million from 1,195 addresses in just 41 minutes.
Only 192 victims have reported losses so far, leaving nearly 6,900 drained addresses without an identified owner. Galaxy also found that every stolen coin was created after the flawed firmware was released in March 2021.
Elon Musk offered a fairly modest plan for surviving superintelligence this weekend, stating we should hope it likes us.
His comment followed an online debate in which Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei defended his warnings about AI risk, arguing that negative interview clips receive more attention than his predictions about the technology’s benefits.
Amodei believes AI could cure most human diseases within five to ten years, but continues to push for mandatory safety testing of frontier models.
Benjamin Cowen believes Bitcoin may be between 69 and 73 days from its next cycle bottom, placing the potential low around October.
His estimate is based on Bitcoin reaching day 1,363 of its current cycle. The previous two cycles bottomed on days 1,432 and 1,436, while August and September have historically been weak months for BTC.
Others argue that ETFs and corporate treasury demand have disrupted the old four-year pattern. The next few months could reveal whether Bitcoin’s familiar cycle still has any predictive power left.
What is now Peter Thiel’s second-biggest disclosed holding?
A) An AI startup promising to replace everyone by Thursday
B) A bunker with excellent Wi-Fi
C) Argentine oil producer Vista Energy
D) A suspiciously large bag of Bitcoin
