Erebor Bank nears $1.5B raise at $8B pre-money valuation

Crypto friendly Erebor Bank is nearing a roughly $1.5 billion funding round at an $8 billion pre-money valuation, according to people familiar with the discussions cited by the FT.　　The talks come only six months after the Columbus, Ohio lender received final approval to open as a U.S. national bank. Erebor has not announced the financing and declined to comment to the newspaper, meaning the size, valuation and investor commitments remain subject to change.　　Lux Capital, Human Capital, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz and SV Angel are expected to make commitments, while existing investors 8VC and Haun Ventures are also reportedly participating. The $8 billion figure is before the proposed new capital is added. If the full $1.5 billion closes on those terms, the resulting valuation would be about $9.5 billion.　　Erebor Bank deposits have climbed above $4 billion　　Regulatory figures give some support to the growth behind the fundraising talks. Erebors latest call report showed about $4.06 billion in deposits and roughly $4.66 billion in assets at the end of June, compared with around $1.1 billion in deposits at March 31.　　The FT reported that deposits increased further to $4.6 billion by the end of July, citing a person familiar with the figures.

Here's what bitcoin and ether traders are doing ahead of the binary U.S. CPI print

The demand for this bullish exposure suggests some investors expect the ongoing choppy price action in BTC to end with a decisive move toward $70,000. Perhaps, they expect the CPI to come in softer-than-expected, lifting risk assets higher.　　Economists currently expect the July report to show headline CPI rising 0.1% month-over-month and 3.4% year-over-year. Core CPI, which strips out food and energy, is forecast to rise 0.2% month-over-month and 2.5% year-over-year, according to consensus estimates from Reuters, Dow Jones, and Bloomberg surveys.　　Other traders are less focused on direction and more interested in a jump in volatility.　　“We reiterate our recommendation to accumulate December optionality, leveraging depressed implied volatility across the curve ahead of several key catalysts, notably updates on bipartisan Clarity Act negotiations, shifts in Middle East geopolitical risks, and potential monetary policy pivots,” quant-driven trading firm TDX Strategies said.　　“Structurally, we favour December strangles on BTC and SOL,” the firm added.　　A strangle involves buying both a call and a put with the same expiration. The position profits if the price makes a large move in either direction. The maximum loss is limited to the combined premium paid and occurs only if the market stays relatively flat.　　Volatility could expand quickly once bitcoin breaks

Korea Sheds $6.2 Billion in August as Asia Rotates Away From AI

Foreign investors pulled $6.2 billion out of South Korean stocks in August. Taiwan drew $1.7 billion, ending a six week selling streak, Bloomberg-compiled data shows.　　The split points to a broader pattern. Money is rotating out of Koreas chip-heavy KOSPI toward markets seen as steadier bets on artificial intelligence (AI).　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　A Wider Asian Reshuffle　　The Korea-Taiwan swing is part of a larger regional shift. Foreign investors sold a net $25.48 billion of Asian equities in July. It was the ninth straight month of net outflows.　　Taiwan and South Korea alone lost more than the region‘s entire net outflow in July. Taiwan shed $22.95 billion that month, separate from August’s swing back to inflows. Korea shed $6.26 billion in July, a July total distinct from the $6.2 billion August outflow cited above.　　Inflows into India, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines only partly offset those July losses.　　While still up 17% in the past 6 months, the KOSPI has seen a clear spike and drop. Image Source: Trading View　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　Bloomberg-compiled data also shows analysts raised Taiwan‘s 12-month earnings estimates faster than Korea’s last month. It was the first time in nearly a year that Taiwans revision moved ahead.　　“The unusually high swings in AI-related sectors are making global investors diversify.”　　Herald

Harmony confirms exploit involving unauthorized minting of 4 billion ONE tokens

Quick TakeLayer 1 blockchain platform Harmony confirmed that it had been exploited.X user Juiceberg reported earlier that an attacker had minted 4 billion ONE tokens without authorization.Harmonys Horizon cross-chain bridge was exploited for nearly $100 million in 2022.　　Layer 1 blockchain platform Harmony confirmed on Wednesday that it had been exploited, following a report of an unauthorized minting of its ONE cryptocurrency.　　Earlier in the day, an X user named Juiceberg reported that an attacker had minted 4 billion ONE (ONE) tokens by using empty blocks. The token price subsequently plunged, while the totalSupply endpoint did not immediately reflect the increase in supply, according to the X user.　　“The attacker has roughly 115M ONE left to sell onchain — about 2.9% of the ~4B they minted,” Juiceberg wrote. “The overwhelming majority (~97%) is already on exchanges and has either been sold or is sitting in deposit wallets ready to sell.”　　ONE token is down 34% in the past 24 hours, trading at around $0.0008. This puts the stolen amount at a current value of roughly $3.2 million.　　Harmony directly addressed Juicebergs post in its X statement, confirming the exploit and saying it is working with its team and relevant exchanges to stop and freeze the

Under the Deep Bear Market in Crypto: The Exchange Exodus Wave Is Here — Who Will Be Next? An In-Dep

The crypto market continued to cool down in 2026. Under the deep bear market, its not just retail investors getting wiped out — even crypto exchanges have started lining up to “meet their end.”　　According to RootData statistics, more than 100 crypto projects have died in 2026, covering exchanges, Layer 1 blockchains, Layer 2 networks, and DeFi protocols. In just the past month, four well-known exchanges — AscendEX, EXMO, BitMEX, and BitMart — have successively shut down. However, this may only be the beginning.　　2026 Crypto Dead Projects List（Source: RootData）　　This wave of exchange collapses is different from what happened in 2022. Back then, it was an explosion: Luna went to zero within three days, FTX suffered a bank run, and Celsius froze withdrawals — the deaths happened almost instantly. In 2026, however, most platforms are dying from starvation. There are no major hacks, no mass withdrawals, and no law enforcement raids — the business simply stopped making money.　　But “starving to death” is more frightening than “being blown up.” An explosion is a one-time event; if you avoid it, you survive. Starvation is a chronic illness. You have no idea which exchange‘s account balance is already too low to even pay next month’s

Crypto Spot Trading Volume Falls 21.7% in July, All 14 Exchanges Post Declines

A 21.7% month-over-month drop across every major exchange is rarely just noise. The July 2026 spot trading report from WuBlockchain puts combined volume at $429.0 billion across 14 platforms, down from $547.9 billion in June. Binance alone absorbed nearly half of that total, a reminder that liquidity concentrates fast when traders pull back.　　Binance notched $196.5 billion in spot trades, grabbing a 45.8% share. OKX followed at $41.6 billion and Bybit at $36.3 billion. Together, the top three exchanges captured 64.0% of all spot volume. The concentration is stark, but the real story is in the declines. Every single exchange reported lower volumes. Uniswap held up best, shedding just 9.8%—an unusually mild retracement for a decentralized venue. Kraken‘s 13.4% slide and Gate’s 15.9% drop suggest that fiat on-ramps and Asia-facing platforms weathered the slowdown better than rivals focused on altcoin margin. At the other end, Bitfinex cratered 59.7%, Coinbase dropped 26.4%, and Bybit fell 24.5%. That dispersion points to shifting trader loyalties and thinning liquidity in specific market pockets.　　Liquidity Concentration Hits a New Extreme　　When Binance holds a near-46% share in a month where everyone else is shrinking, the structural imbalance can feed on itself.

MoneyGram expands crypto cash ramps to Solana

Global remittance company MoneyGram has expanded its Ramps service to Solana, allowing wallets, exchanges and developers on the network to offer cash-to-crypto and crypto-to-cash conversions through its payments network.　　Ramps previously operated on Stellar, making Solana its second supported blockchain. Rift is the first Solana (SOL) wallet to integrate the service, allowing users to move between crypto and local currencies through MoneyGram.　　In an X post announcing the launch, Solana said MoneyGram serves more than 60 million customers through nearly 500,000 retail locations across more than 170 countries, with the network now accessible to Solana developers through a single API.Source: Solana　　Ramps supports cash deposits in more than 25 countries and withdrawals in more than 170 countries and territories, according to MoneyGram. The service, also integrated into the Solana Developer Platform‘s payments module, lets developers add MoneyGram’s fiat on- and off-ramp infrastructure without building their own banking integrations.　　The company said the Solana launch is part of a broader effort to make Ramps available across multiple blockchain ecosystems. In June, MoneyGram became a Solana validator, staking SOL and processing transactions on the network. It also joined the Solana Developer Platform as part of that expansion.　　Magazine: Bitcoin will never fall below $60K again: Nansen founder

FlightAware sues Kalshi over flight cancellation data

FlightAware, a company that offers real-time status and information about flights globally, filed a lawsuit against Kalshi in a New York federal court over the prediction markets platform using its “data and name to run gambling markets on flight cancellations.”　　In a Monday filing in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, the company said that despite repeated demands for Kalshi to stop using its registered trademark and offering bets “verified by FlightAwares data,” the prediction market has continued to list event contracts based on flight cancellations.　　The lawsuit cited authorities‘ claims that event contracts on prediction market platforms like Kalshi were “wagers” in violation of state laws, adding that the company’s expansion to trading on commercial flights starting in July was associating FlightAware with activities potentially harming its reputation. FlightAware sought to “stop Kalshis illicit behavior before there is any harm to public safety.”　　“[T]here was widespread outrage and concern that the markets would incentivize unsafe tactics to impact cancellations, threatening public safety and creating the potential for massive disruption of air travel. Airlines condemned the markets,” said the lawsuit. “And due to Kalshi‘s unauthorized use of FlightAware’s data and mark, customers immediately assumed that FlightAware was involved
