Binance founder Zhao Changpeng posted on social media, "As of August 2026, over 20.07 million Bitcoins have been mined, with only about 4.4% of the supply left to be mined. I estimate that 10-20% of the existing Bitcoins are lost, stuck, or unrecoverable. It is a deflationary asset."

GMGN data shows that influenced by Zhao Changpeng's retweet of related content, the utility of BSC Meme coins surged rapidly for a short time, with a market cap once exceeding 9 million USD, currently reported at about 8 million USD, with an intraday increase of over 900%.According to market news, the prices of Meme coins are highly volatile, and most lack practical use cases, please pay attention to asset protection.

According to The Defiant, Cole Villemain, the co-founder of the well-known NFT project Pudgy Penguins, who was voted out by the community, launched a series of 44,000 NFTs named Spritehood on Robinhood Chain on August 11, selling out in less than an hour.According to on-chain statistics of minting transactions by analyst 0xlaplaced, this sale generated approximately $1.2829 million (equivalent to about 684.28 ETH at the minting price), higher than the approximately $755,000 figure circulating during the sale, which was a snapshot taken while the sale was still ongoing. According to the statistics, the paid sale lasted about 53 minutes, during which 37,430 pieces were sold for $17 each, and 5,526 pieces were sold for $117 each. Before the paid sale began, the deploying party also distributed 1,488 pieces for free through 20 zero-price transactions.Reports indicate that the Spritehood contract itself is displayed as unverified source code on the Blockscout browser of Robinhood Chain, preventing buyers from reviewing the public code regarding its token pricing and distribution mechanism. Cole Villemain was voted out of the founding team by the Pudgy Penguins holder community in January 2022, accompanied by accusations of misappropriating project funds, but the related accusations have remained at the level of allegations, and Villemain has not been prosecuted as a result.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng reposted on the X platform about a user being attacked by a Coldcard wallet and stated that software will always have vulnerabilities; the key is how the team behind it addresses the issues.Zhao Changpeng added that Trust Wallet also faced a similar problem years ago, where the use of a non-truly random pseudorandom number generator led to a loss of about 12 million dollars, but the team ultimately covered the users' losses.Previously, a suspected third wave of attacks targeting Coldcard-generated addresses has emerged, with attackers again transferring about 207.7294 BTC. Data shows that the scale of observed Coldcard-related attacks has expanded to about 1,367.05 BTC, involving approximately 4,585 addresses, valued at about 88.6 million dollars at current prices.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng posted on the X platform that we may be in a bear market, but there is still a lot of capital looking for investment opportunities.

Zhao Changpeng posted on platform X, stating that regarding the suspected vulnerability of the Coldcard wallet that led to over $38 million in Bitcoin being stolen, even hardware wallets may have vulnerabilities.Even long-established wallets may have vulnerabilities. To reduce risk, one might consider diversifying funds across several wallets, but this brings another set of risks. Nothing is 100% secure.

Chief Economist of Bitfire Group, Fu Peng, stated that the AI industry is currently in a transitional period from the midstream to the downstream. The infrastructure layer, represented by Nvidia, has entered a mature stage, displaying characteristics of established stocks. However, the downstream application layer has yet to see a milestone breakthrough similar to ChatGPT. The next 10 to 18 months will be a transitional period for the industry cycle. He indicated that the competition in the second half of AI will no longer be about the story of repeatedly burning money to build infrastructure, but rather whether AI, as an efficiency tool, can generate stable payments, profits, and diffusion after entering real industries.He also mentioned that current market funds are following a logic of narrowing focus, prioritizing the elimination of speculative assets that are peripheral, highly elastic, and lack cash flow support, while continuously concentrating on the most core and highest certainty targets. Pure liquidity assets at the denominator end, such as Bitcoin, often digest valuation pressure before traditional stock markets.He further noted that DRAM and HBM storage are ultimately commodities, subject to the laws of commodity cycles. When the industry fundamentals are extremely certain and volatility drops to very low levels, the excessive accumulation of off-market financial leverage often becomes an invisible killer that triggers a sharp decline. Even when a company's fundamentals are sound, prices can fluctuate dramatically during deleveraging.

In response to the shutdown of BitMEX, BitMart, and rumors of several CEXs facing shutdowns, Zhao Changpeng stated, "It's too cruel, I hope this is a bottom signal."

Binance founder CZ responded to the question "Why not acquire smaller CEXs" by stating that acquiring centralized exchanges is different from other businesses. Once a hack occurs after the acquisition, it is difficult to determine whether it is a backdoor left by the previous team or a new issue, thus the security and compliance risks are higher. He emphasized that acquiring CEXs is still possible, but the due diligence and risk control processes are more complex.

Zhao Changpeng reposted a previous post on the X platform about "whether to find the best entry point for long-term holding in a bull market or bear market," and replied "DCA."DCA stands for Dollar-Cost Averaging, which refers to investors investing funds at fixed intervals, reducing the impact of price fluctuations at a single point in time on the cost of their holdings by buying in batches.Zhao Changpeng also stated that if one does not understand this term, they can search and learn on their own, and emphasized that mastering basic financial terminology is very important.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng paid tribute to BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes. It's unfortunate to see BitMEX shut down. Some thoughts:BitMEX was the first to launch 100x cryptocurrency trading back in 2014. Futures contracts had existed before this, making Friday trading exceptionally busy. BitMEX only accepted Bitcoin deposits, supported only one chain, allowed withdrawals once a day, and required multi-signature wallets. These seemingly inconvenient restrictions actually protected them from hacker attacks.After 18 months of struggle, the four founders ultimately admitted to violating the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) a month before the trial. They were each fined $10 million and placed under house arrest. No one went to prison as a result. However, their business ultimately could not withstand the "cryptocurrency war" initiated by the Biden administration.In the end, the liquidation process of BitMEX appeared orderly, and users were able to withdraw their assets. Tribute to Arthur Hayes.

Binance founder CZ recently posted on social media that artificial intelligence (AI) and Bitcoin (BTC) serve different functions; AI drives productivity improvements, while Bitcoin is used to combat inflation and protect wealth. CZ stated, "AI is great, but it cannot protect you from the effects of inflation; Bitcoin can."CZ believes that the market often views AI and Bitcoin as two major hot investment themes, but their natures are fundamentally different. AI is a technology that enhances business efficiency and economic productivity, while Bitcoin is a digital asset with a fixed supply. He pointed out that the AI industry is rapidly developing, with global companies continuously investing billions of dollars in AI software, data centers, chips, and other infrastructure, driving transformations in various sectors such as healthcare, finance, and manufacturing. However, AI companies can issue more shares and raise funds for expansion, and their investment value still depends on business performance and market competition. In contrast, Bitcoin has a total fixed supply of 21 million coins, and holders possess a non-dilutable scarce asset. CZ believes this characteristic gives Bitcoin long-term value storage properties, providing protection when the purchasing power of fiat currency declines due to inflation.CZ has also previously stated that the AI boom may attract some funds that would have originally flowed into the Bitcoin market. As AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic gain more capital attention, some investors may sell other assets to allocate to AI-related investments. However, CZ believes that AI and Bitcoin are not in competition; rather, they should be viewed as complementary assets: AI drives technological advancement and productivity improvements, while Bitcoin offers a way to store value that is unaffected by supply expansion.

CZ stated that AI is powerful, but it cannot protect personal assets from the impact of inflation, while Bitcoin can.

Zhao Changpeng (CZ) posted on X that 5,000 POS terminals of Kazakhstan's Alatau City Bank have been integrated with Binance Pay.
