Aave Labs has proposed a new plan regarding the ownership of brands and intellectual property, intending to gradually hand it over to a DAO for oversight and management. According to the schedule for the first phase, the team will first promote the establishment of a legal entity located in the Cayman Islands and appoint independent senior management for that entity.However, the transfer of ownership for the trademark rights related to the Aave brand, domain names, and code repositories is not included in the action scope of the first phase. Instead, it will be subject to approval through multiple rounds of governance voting that will be initiated later.

HL HUB (Community) posted on platform X that Hyperliquid expects to receive its first AQAv2 reserve yield distribution tomorrow. Approximately $14.5 million in passive income generated from USDC reserves will flow into the Assistance Fund for the purpose of repurchasing HYPE.It is reported that the revenue sharing mechanism of AQAv2 stipulates that Hyperliquid stablecoin deployers must allocate 90% of the reserve income from the stablecoin to the Hyperliquid protocol, and these earnings will be used 100% for the repurchase and destruction of HYPE tokens.The stablecoin reserve income distribution is settled on a 30-day cycle, and the income will automatically transfer to the Assistance Fund on the 8th day after the cycle ends. The formal revenue accrual will begin on August 26, and the first income payment will occur on October 3.

According to CoinDesk, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed a significant update to the transfer agent rules on September 1, the first since the 1970s. Chairman Paul Atkins explicitly stated that the rules should cover the application of blockchain technology in securities issuance and equity transfer.Joris Delanoue, co-founder of Fairmint, pointed out that if ownership data is scattered among token wrapping layers, SPVs, broker-dealer internal ledgers, and off-chain databases, it will replay the historical "paperwork crisis" of the late 1960s. He emphasized that the tokens themselves should serve as the official ledger required by Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act, rather than as off-chain securities wrapping substitutes. The article calls for the industry to integrate ownership data around unified open standards and suggests that the SEC distinguish between native on-chain registration and third-party wrapping models in Form TA-2, allow the use of cryptographic credentials and other modern identifiers, and incorporate pre-trade restrictions on smart contracts into compliance enforcement mechanisms.

Founder of Strategy, Michael Saylor, stated in a post that Bitcoin is digital capital, MSTR is digital equity, and STRC is digital credit.The company's corporate strategy is to create two complementary products from Bitcoin capital: MSTR provides leveraged Bitcoin exposure and holds ownership of a growing digital credit business; STRC aims to reduce volatility, compress duration, and provide dollar returns. Creating digital credit requires active management of the entire balance sheet, including Bitcoin, dollars, debt, preferred stock, and common stock, involving multiple decisions regarding capital, liquidity, priority, dividend rates, payment frequency, and investor terms.The company's goal is to create the highest quality digital credit products: supported by financial resilience, disciplined capital allocation, and a more stable investor experience to provide attractive dollar returns. Dividends are visible outputs, but the quality of the underlying system is the core work.The company engineers products by managing capital, debt, and liquidity. Investors seeking Bitcoin price exposure can directly hold BTC or spot Bitcoin funds; meanwhile, MSTR investors buy equity in a company that simultaneously seeks Bitcoin leveraged exposure and digital credit business growth, accepting amplified volatility and downside risk. STRC investors pursue a different experience: dollar returns, reduced price volatility, and shorter duration characteristics, relying on the company's capital strength, priority debt position, dollar liquidity, and active management to achieve this.The two are interconnected—capital structure directs more volatility and return potential of Bitcoin towards common stock, thereby providing credit investors with more stable income claims. The company manages the balance sheet uniformly, creating leveraged exposure for equity investors and dampened exposure for credit investors, both relying on the company's strength and execution quality.To achieve this goal, Strategy continuously manages various levels of the capital structure, including issuing and repurchasing STRC, distinguishing between payment reserves and allocated cash, adjusting dividend rates, optimizing security terms, and seeking shorter durations and longer payment runways.The company emphasizes that digital credit is a discipline that requires continuous practice: stripping volatility, compressing duration, and extracting returns from Bitcoin capital. Bitcoin itself does not pay interest, and Strategy pays dividends through security terms. The ultimate goal is to build stronger digital credit and create greater long-term value for MSTR shareholders, reinforcing the quality of capital and equity value.

According to CoinDesk, Zcash developers are integrating part of the proposed scaling upgrade code, Tachyon, into the software already in use to prepare for a large number of privacy transactions in the future. This component is named Udon, originally developed as part of Project Tachyon.According to Sean Bowe, the head of Project Tachyon, Udon was released on Monday to Zakura Common, which is a cryptographic library shared by Zakura and other Zcash projects. Common is responsible for handling some of the heavy mathematical computations behind creating and verifying privacy transactions, with Zakura being jointly developed by Bowe's team and Dev Ojha's Valar Group.Zcash wallets need to prove the validity of a privacy payment without disclosing the payer, payee, or amount, and the computers running the network subsequently verify that proof. According to CoinDesk's report in August, previous improvements to Common have reduced the time to create a privacy transaction from over 3 seconds to under 200 milliseconds in some tests.If privacy payments become more common, these computers will need to handle more data. Udon brings some of the computational requirements for the proposed scaling upgrade of Tachyon into Common, allowing developers to continue building on the already accelerated code. Udon has been released as software, but the upgrade has not yet been activated on Zcash.Bowe and Ojha's long-term goal is to exceed 50,000 payments per second. At this rate, they estimate that current cryptography will allow each Zcash node to receive over 500 MB of data per second.

Bitcoin News posted on the X platform that the x402 Foundation has incorporated the Lightning Network payment specifications into its open internet payment standards. x402 was originally developed by Coinbase, aiming to allow AI agents and applications to automatically complete payments and continue executing tasks upon receiving a "402 Payment Required" response, without the need to create accounts, input credit card information, or manage API subscriptions.The protocol is now governed by the Linux Foundation, with participation from companies such as Cloudflare, Google, AWS, Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, and American Express. With the incorporation of the Lightning Network, AI agents can utilize the Satoshi payment API calls, data, computing power, MCP tools, and other digital resources, and cryptographically prove payments through Lightning Network pre-images.

In response to the rumors of the "death" of Robinhood Chain in the community, Uniswap founder Hayden Adams stated that it is quite ridiculous to claim that Robinhood Chain "has died" based solely on the fee income chart. In fact, Robinhood has only raised the gas limit and lowered user fees to expand on-chain capacity and meet the huge demand for block space. Approximately 95% of the DEX trading volume on Robinhood Chain comes from Uniswap, and its overall performance is currently good.Dragonfly managing partner Haseeb also previously stated that after Robinhood Chain reduced fees, on-chain revenue significantly decreased, but DEX trading volume remains strong, currently second only to Solana. This strategy is clearly intentional; Robinhood values attracting RWA and on-chain financial activities through low fees and higher capacity rather than optimizing short-term orderer revenue.

Cryptocurrency asset company Bitmine Immersion Technologies announced last week that it has increased its holdings by 27,180 ETH, bringing its total ETH holdings to over 5.95 million, valued at approximately $1.54 billion, accounting for about 4.9% of the circulating supply of Ethereum. Including cash and other cryptocurrency assets, the company's total holdings amount to approximately $15.8 billion.Bitmine stated that currently over 5.06 million ETH are staked, and based on the current yield, it is expected to generate approximately $334 million in staking income annually, with about 85% of its ETH holdings used for staking. In comparison, the staking ratio for Grayscale Ethereum Staked ETF (ETHE) is 84.6%. Since BTC does not generate native staking income, this strategy has advantages over treasury companies holding Bitcoin. On Monday, Bitmine's stock price remained flat, around $25, having risen nearly 38% over the past month.Meanwhile, Michael Saylor's Strategy has not purchased Bitcoin for the second consecutive week, instead opting to repurchase its STRC preferred shares.
