BTC active addresses surge as holders move coins to exchanges. (CryptoQuant) The recent Coldcard hack has raised broader questions about the security of hardware wallets and self-custody.

Three distinct waves of attacks have now swept 1,367 bitcoin—nearly $89 million at recent prices—from 4,585 addresses, with the latest wave targeting smaller balances and using more complex, harder-to-trace transaction patterns.

Tokenized stock trading reached a record $11.3 billion in July, a 288% increase, driven primarily by a single QQQ-tied token on Binance, which accounted for 82% of that volume. Excluding that token, total market volume fell to $2.03 billion, about 30% lower than the estimated $2.91 billion in June. Binance's QQQB saw massive growth due to zero maker fees through August and a new VIP volume multiplier program introduced on July 23.
