Coin BlogMarket - Aug 10, 2026The United States and Japan conducted a rare joint intervention to support the yen after it fell toward multidecade lows. It was the first such coordination since the late 1990s. At the same time, Japan's two-year government bond yield moved above 1.57%, increasing the risk of an unwind in the yen carry trade, where investors borrowed cheap yen to buy higher-returning assets. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also called for a larger FIMA Repo facility, which lets foreign central banks obtain dollars against Treasurys without selling them.
Bitcoin faces two opposing scenarios. If FIMA access and intervention increase dollar availability, global liquidity can support risk assets. If Japanese investors repatriate capital and close leveraged positions, they may sell equities, bonds and crypto. In the short term, that deleveraging could be stronger than the later benefit of a...

Coin BlogRWA - Aug 10, 2026 Wells Fargo plans to launch tokenized deposits for corporate and commercial clients this fall. The first version will represent US dollars and British pounds on the bank's proprietary blockchain and focus on cross-border payments. Clients will be able to transfer, program and settle funds around the clock. In 2027, Wells Fargo expects to add countries and currencies based on demand and connect with a broader bank tokenized-deposit network and selected private systems.
The token may resemble a stablecoin in user experience, but legally it remains a bank deposit. It carries the familiar credit exposure, accounting treatment and supervision of the bank, while funds stay inside the deposit system rather than moving to an external issuer. That is why banks view the model as easier to control.
The main competition will not be between blockchains but between forms of... Read more
Coin BlogDeFi - Aug 10, 2026 Fake World Assets turned old NFTs into an onchain gacha game. Users pay for a random package that is usually worth little but may contain a rare asset. Within days, the application became one of Ethereum's largest gas consumers. Daily fees peaked near $1.53 million on July 25, TVL exceeded $6.15 million by the end of the month, and the project reported 10,000 ETH of volume and 100,000 purchases by August 1. Some activity is linked to expectations of future token incentives.
The core product is neither an NFT nor a real-world asset. It is a transparent lottery mechanic with immediate resale of the result. Blockchain infrastructure makes the draw and item movement verifiable, but does not change the behavioral structure: rare wins are financed by a large number of unsuccessful purchases.
The name Fake World Assets captures the contrast with the RWA... Read more
Coin BlogSecurity - Aug 10, 2026 Non-custodial Bitcoin swap service Boltz disabled operations indefinitely after a series of automated attacks. The team said it contained several exploits over recent months, but attackers now test and adapt faster than developers can identify and patch weaknesses. Boltz reported that user funds were not lost, while refund and support channels remain available.
The decision matters because the service stopped before a catastrophic loss. In crypto, downtime is often treated as failure, giving teams an incentive to continue until the last possible moment. Boltz effectively concluded that temporary unavailability costs less than experimenting with real user funds under active attack.
AI changes attack economics. A human previously had to study an API, construct requests and interpret responses manually. An agent can scan continuously, modify sequences and use every failed attempt... Read more
Coin BlogMarket - Aug 10, 2026 Australian crypto broker Caleb & Brown entered the United Kingdom with a focus on high-net-worth clients rather than mass-market exchange trading. The firm is owned by Swyftx, which acquired it in 2025 for more than $100 million. Management describes Britain as underserved. The FCA estimates that about 8% of adults own crypto, while the typical amount held has increased even as ownership rates declined.
The chosen format matters. Caleb & Brown is not primarily selling an interface with hundreds of tokens. It offers personal execution, support for large transactions and a relationship that resembles private banking. For a wealthy client, the difficult part is often not buying Bitcoin. It is reporting, source-of-funds checks, execution price, custody and fitting the transaction into a broader portfolio. Read more
