ChainCatcher said PeckShieldAlert monitored an address labeled Bofur Capital that suffered an address poisoning attack after withdrawing from Compound. The attacker sent a 0.0002 USDC dust transaction and forged a lookalike address. When the victim copied and pasted the address, the wrong one was used, and the funds were stolen. The stolen assets were converted into about $2 million in DAI.

Unitree Technology made its debut on Shanghai’s STAR Market on Aug. 19, turning the long-discussed label of “A-share’s first humanoid robot stock” into a listed reality. The stock opened at 1,100 yuan, up 629.44% from its 150.80-yuan issue price, and its market capitalization briefly climbed to 445 billion yuan before pulling back. At the time of writing cited in the source article, the shares were trading around 892 yuan, valuing the company at roughly 361 billion yuan, with turnover reaching 55.25% and trading volume exceeding 15.3 billion yuan. The listing stood out not only for its first-day price action but also for its unusually tight float. Unitree’s post-listing unrestricted shares amounted to 30.0877 million, or 7.44% of total share capital. The online allotment rate was just 0.0181%, setting records on the STAR Market for both the lowest winning rate and the highest number of participating accounts. Strategic investors including the National Social Security Fund, DeepSeek, Tencent, PetroChina Kunlun Capital, China Southern Power Grid and China Telecom’s Tianyi Capital took part in the placement. The source article frames Unitree’s listing as both a wealth-creation event and a valuation test for China’s embodied AI and robotics sector. It also tracks founder Wang Xingxing’s holdings, compares Unitree with Figure AI, Boston Dynamics and Tesla’s Optimus, and lays out the company’s own responses on valuation, FCC restrictions, international competition and commercialization pace.

PPP’s prediction-market tracking tool shows that a newly created account on Polymarket took a sizable position in the market asking whether BTC will fall below $45,000 this year. The account, identified as 0x42d150e0171590b28332a61b3f4cfca0a34cdab6, bought nearly $700,000 worth of the “No” side, which means a wager that Bitcoin will not drop to $45,000 this year. The average entry price was 78.3 cents. The contract uses Binance’s BTC/USDT trading pair as the sole settlement reference. Under the market rules, if the low of any one-minute candle reaches or falls below the specified price at any time between 2:00 p.m. ET on Nov. 24, 2025 and 11:59 p.m. ET on Dec. 31, 2026, the market settles immediately to “Yes.” If that level is never touched before the deadline, the outcome settles to “No.” Prices from other exchanges or trading pairs are excluded from settlement.

Michael Burry’s latest portfolio disclosure shows a notable reshaping of his bearish positioning. The investor, widely known as the real-life figure behind The Big Short, has fully closed his short positions in Tesla and Applied Materials, saying both trades were profitable. He also sold all of his put options on the iShares Semiconductor ETF and replaced that trade with a larger put position in the Invesco QQQ Trust, signaling a broader wager against the Nasdaq rather than a narrower bet on semiconductor weakness. On the long side, Burry’s biggest positions were concentrated in Adobe, MercadoLibre, Zoetis and JD.com, each accounting for about 8% of the portfolio. Lululemon, PayPal, Veeva, Flutter, Molina Healthcare and HCA Healthcare each made up roughly 7%, while Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Sprouts were each around 5%. His current short book, ranked by size, includes SOXX, Micron Technology, Nebius, Nvidia, Oracle, Palantir and Caterpillar. The filing also showed QQQ put options at about 6% of the portfolio and cash rising to 12%.

The UK Financial Conduct Authority and HTX are in settlement talks over a case tied to unlawful crypto promotions aimed at UK consumers, according to Reuters, which cited court filings. London’s High Court has paused the proceedings until late August to give both sides time to try to reach terms. The discussions began after the parties exchanged emails in March, followed by a three-month negotiation period that was extended by another two months on June 25. The FCA filed the case on October 21 last year in the Chancery Division, describing it as its first enforcement action of this type against a crypto exchange over marketing. The regulator is seeking an injunction and a court declaration that the defendants breached Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act. The claim names Huobi Global S.A. and several categories of unnamed parties connected to HTX’s ownership, operations, website, and social media. Court documents also say an FCA staff member using a UK IP address was able to buy crypto through HTX’s peer-to-peer service and place futures trades after verifying identity with a UK driving license. Reuters said the case is separate from UK and EU sanctions matters involving HTX and Justin Sun.

xAI has released Grok 4.6, positioning the new model around long-running agents, visual project building and multi-step task execution rather than one-off chatbot responses. Built on Grok 4.5, the model received longer post-training, filtered model-generated data for reasoning and advanced technical concepts, additional high-quality engineering data, and changes to the optimizer and training recipe before later SFT and reinforcement learning stages. xAI said the model now performs at the frontier on several agentic coding and knowledge-work benchmarks and matches GPT-5.6 Sol on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, a combined score across nine benchmarks. The company also said it is seeing more self-checking behavior on longer task trajectories, with the model verifying its own work before moving on. Grok 4.6 is available starting today in Cursor and Grok Build, where xAI is offering double included usage for the first week. It is also accessible through the API and via partners including OpenRouter, Vercel and Cloudflare. Pricing starts at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens, while a faster version costs twice as much as the standard model.
