MarsBit’s Weekly Editor’s Picks for Aug. 22 to Aug. 28 gathers a wide range of market narratives that shaped the week, from U.S. Treasury funding expectations and gold positioning to Ethereum-heavy crypto theses and renewed momentum in altcoins. The digest highlights Wall Street expectations that the Treasury may lean more on short-dated issuance and expanded buybacks, while Goldman Sachs kept its $4,900-per-ounce gold target for end-2026 and noted client positioning for even higher levels. On the crypto side, Arthur Hayes argued that ETH could outperform large-cap peers in a liquidity rebound, while Circle’s valuation debate centered on whether USDC growth can offset falling reserve yields and whether Arc and CPN can deliver durable revenue. MarsBit also pointed to a broad altcoin rebound, Grayscale’s Zcash Trust-to-spot-ETF push, Hyperliquid’s AQAv2 buyback mechanics, Ethena’s supply-side changes for ENA, Galaxy’s crypto-backed credit line, and the risks tied to BitMine’s growing ETH concentration. The package closes with shorter items on Bitcoin, policy signals, institutional commentary, X’s possible crypto trading support, and security-related developments.

Digital Asset, the creator of the Canton Network, and former US House Speaker Paul Ryan’s American Idea Foundation plan to pilot a blockchain-based system for distributing state-administered benefits across three US states. The RISE program is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2027 and would combine multiple benefits into monthly or twice-monthly payments, with spending rules tied to categories such as food, child care and cash. According to Friday’s announcement, the system would automatically adjust benefit levels as household income changes and let participating agencies track payments, balances, spending and compliance data through Canton. Digital Asset said Canton would coordinate the rules, permissions and transactions used to distribute benefits while limiting access to sensitive information. Ryan said the pilot is intended to reduce penalties that can occur as recipients’ incomes rise. The companies did not name the participating states or specify which benefit programs would be included, and said the pilots remain subject to federal approval. The announcement also said Canton’s recent growth has centered on institutional finance, including government-securities projects, while Canton Coin has a market cap of about $4.1 billion, according to CoinGecko.

Decentralized exchange RISEx said an unauthorized withdrawal affected the RWA strategy tied to its XLP vault yesterday, with 673,011.56 USDC taken. The team said the incident was caused by a configuration error that had existed since the strategy was deployed on July 13. According to RISEx, the issue was detected and fixed within minutes. The platform said XLP depositors were not affected and that the full loss has already been covered using part of RISEx’s July fees. RISEx added that its core platform remains operational and independent from the impacted strategy. The team also said it reviewed all transactions and other strategies and confirmed this was the only unauthorized withdrawal. RISEx plans to publish a post-mortem report. It is now working with SEAL 911 to trace the funds and is attempting to contact the relevant addresses in an effort to recover the assets.

RISE has launched MarketCore and RISEx, outlining a shift from a high-speed Ethereum Layer 2 to infrastructure for global onchain markets, backed by its recent BSX Labs acquisition.
