According to Odaily, Marex Group has invested an undisclosed amount in Digital Prime Technologies. The funding will support Tokenet, an institutional digital-asset lending platform developed with EquiLend, while helping Marex expand its institutional digital-asset operations. Digital Prime said last week that both lending inventory supplied by Tokenet’s launch partners and expressed borrowing demand exceeded $1 billion. These figures represent available lending capacity and borrowing interest rather than completed loans. Partners include Galaxy Digital and Ripple Prime.
According to Bloomberg, a recent wave of sophisticated cyberattacks targeted major Wall Street asset managers. Attackers attempted to breach the information systems of Two Sigma Investments, Citadel, Point72 Asset Management, and several private equity firms. The attackers’ identities, exact methods, and whether sensitive data were compromised remain unclear. The incidents highlight the growing risks of operational disruption, data exposure, and unauthorized access as financial institutions become increasingly dependent on algorithmic trading, cloud infrastructure, and complex information systems.
According to CoinDesk, Laser Digital, the digital-asset division of Nomura Holdings, has made a strategic investment in UAE-based Layer1 project ZIGChain. The two parties will work to bring private credit markets in the Gulf region on-chain and explore Sharia-compliant asset products. The investment amount was not disclosed, although market reports placed it in the high single-digit millions of dollars. ZIGChain is already working with Standard Chartered and Apex Group to develop on-chain asset-management and private-credit infrastructure.
According to Bloomberg, PayPal CEO Enrique Lores plans to establish separate revenue targets for the company’s three core businesses and revise its financial disclosures, enabling investors to assess each unit’s growth potential more clearly. This was his first media interview since becoming CEO in March this year. Amid slowing growth, intensifying competition, and concerns about strategic clarity, PayPal aims to rebuild market confidence by separating business performance, improving transparency, and optimizing its payment structure and operational efficiency.
According to Cointelegraph, Mastercard and stablecoin infrastructure network Borderless have launched a pilot using Mastercard Crypto Credential to provide standardized identity verification, compliance screening, and risk-management signals for cross-border stablecoin payments. The framework will serve as a governance and verification layer, although Mastercard will not directly process or settle funds. Mastercard previously completed its approximately $1.8 billion acquisition of BVNK and plans to expand its settlement capabilities for round-the-clock stablecoin card payments.
According to Techfundingnews, enterprise AI agent company HappyRobot has raised $150 million in a Series C round co-led by Prysm Capital and Eurazeo. Existing investors a16z, Base10, and Y Combinator participated alongside Koch Disruptive Technologies, Orange, T.Capital, and others. The company uses AI agents to handle complex, multi-step business coordination. Following the round, HappyRobot’s total funding has reached approximately $200 million, while its valuation has risen to $1.2 billion.
According to Jinshi, Unitree Robotics’ application for an initial public offering and listing on the Shanghai Stock Exchange’s STAR Market has passed review by the exchange’s listing committee and received registration approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission. The company plans to issue 40.4464 million new shares, representing 10.00% of its post-offering share capital. The offering combines strategic placement, offline allocation, and online issuance. Unitree and sponsor CITIC Securities will hold an online roadshow from 14:00 to 17:00 on August 7, 2026.
According to Gate News, Onchain Lens data showed that Circle minted 500 million USDC on the Solana network during the early hours of August 6, 2026, approximately three hours before the report was published. Since the beginning of 2026, the stablecoin issuer has minted a cumulative 76.05 billion USDC on Solana. The large mint indicates that stablecoin liquidity supply on Solana continues to expand, although minting alone does not mean the funds have fully entered the market or created immediate buying pressure.
According to an official Uniswap announcement, Uniswap launched its Pools token-issuance platform on Robinhood Chain on August 6. The platform supports Crowd Launch and Instant Launch mechanisms, alongside auto-compounding liquidity, permanent liquidity locks, and MEV protection. When auto-compounding is enabled, Pools charges a 0.25% liquidity-pool fee. Creators may choose to receive 0.05%, with the remainder automatically compounded. The platform charges no launch fee and applies only standard Uniswap v4 protocol fees.
According to The Block, World Chain will become the first production-grade Layer2 network to transmit complete EIP-7928 block access lists every 200 milliseconds within each flashblock. The feature is scheduled to go live on August 17. The upgrade uses BALs to record the accounts and storage slots read or written by a block, allowing validators to verify transactions in parallel across multiple CPU cores. It targets throughput of 1 gigagas per second, requires no hard fork, and will undergo production testing ahead of Ethereum’s Glamsterdam upgrade.

Users should remain alert to DApp frontend tampering, DNS hijacking, and malicious JavaScript injection. Even without compromising the underlying smart contract, attackers may replace payment addresses displayed on a website or induce users to sign transactions that differ from the information shown on the page, potentially causing token transfers, unlimited approvals, or wallet theft. The Ethereum Foundation has noted that HTTPS can authenticate a connection and encrypt communications, but cannot prove that loaded code matches the version published by the developer. Users should verify domains and contract addresses through official channels, review recipients, token amounts, and approval limits in their wallets, and avoid blind signatures or unlimited approvals. If a page behaves unusually, redirects to another domain, or presents an unreadable signature request, reject the transaction immediately and verify the details through a trusted block explorer or separate device.
