Bonk Guy Returns to the Top on PONS as His Wallet Shows a $5 Million Weekly Gain

Arkham posted a screenshot on Aug. 31 showing a wallet tagged "Bonk Guy Fomo" with about $5 million in weekly unrealized gains, including roughly $4.4 million from PONS. @theunipcs replied the next day that the figure would soon be $6.5 million. Based on the report, he bought PONS near a $6 million market cap, and the token has since reached about $500 million, implying a roughly 83x return. PONS is the native token of Pons Labs on Robinhood Chain, not an official Robinhood product. Robinhood Chain launched its mainnet in July, and Pons quickly became one of the most active non-custodial launchpads on the L2 by token volume and trading activity. Pons Labs said on Sept. 3 that 24-hour volume had reached $400 million, while GMGN data showed the market cap briefly climbed above $500 million. The article also revisits the trading history behind the Bonk Guy name: his early days in crypto, the 2023 BONK trade that made him famous, later public wins in WIF and Fartcoin, the large liquidation event in October 2025, and his move to the FOMO social trading platform in May 2026, where he said his portfolio had reached an all-time high of about $6 million in late August.

Bybit’s North Korea case shows how hard it is to turn traced crypto into recovered funds

Bybit’s civil action tied to the North Korea-linked hack lays out a broad recovery framework built on RICO claims, John Doe defendants, emergency injunctions and sanctions coordination. But the article argues that a legal strategy, even a sophisticated one, does not mean stolen assets are already recoverable. At the time Bybit disclosed the lawsuit, it said about $48.4 million in stolen assets had been recovered and another roughly $30.5 million had been frozen at more than 28 exchanges and custodians, for a combined $78.9 million, or about 5.3% of the initial $1.5 billion loss. The piece separates tracing, control, proof of ownership and final return as four different stages, each with its own failure points. It also highlights limits created by asset commingling, cross-chain transfers, mixers, peer-to-peer transactions and third-party claims. One example involved Australian citizen Joseph F. Corrigan, who challenged an attempt to include a Nexo wallet holding about $39,000 in crypto in a preliminary injunction. The second half of the article then turns to lessons for Web3 firms: build joint response systems before an incident, prepare freeze-request templates and contact networks in advance, preserve chain data in a form courts can use, map real-world control points over assets, and tier recovery efforts across jurisdictions, sanctions exposure and expected value.

Bybit Hacker Cross-Chain Transfers $30M via Hyperliquid

The hacker behind the Bybit exploit, attributed to the Lazarus Group, has moved approximately $30 million across chains through Hyperliquid. The funds were converted from Bitcoin to Ethereum or SOL then bridged out, eventually landing at KuCoin, Kraken, Lbank, and unmarked services on Tron. The transfer occurred weeks after U.S. regulators signaled plans to bring Hyperliquid into the U.S. market. Exchanges have not yet responded, and analysts are tracking the funds.

Binance August Inflows Hit $15.7B Record, Over 75% of Centralized Exchange Total

Odaily Planet Daily reported, citing Bitcoin.com News, that Binance registered $15.7 billion in inflows in August 2026 — a monthly record for the exchange and more than 75% of the total that flowed into centralized exchanges during the month. The exchange's research team, Binance Research, estimated the figure to be roughly 8.4 times the second-largest positive inflow recorded by any centralized exchange. Bybit and OKX were also named among the top three exchanges with concentrated liquidity, while smaller platforms saw more distributed inflows. In the same period, Bitcoin surged more than 20%, crossing $80,000 and fueling stronger trading volumes on exchanges. Additionally, Binance is facing a European Union accusation that it continued onboarding local users without a license under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). Overall, August's inflow figures underline the ongoing concentration of liquidity in the largest exchanges.
