Cryptocurrency analyst cryptopainter pointed out that the Kaito-related address base:0x98d0baa52b2d063e780de12f615f963fe8537553 will unlock 18.53 million tokens on August 20, followed by an additional 6.58 million tokens unlocking from September 16 to 17. He believes that the recent actions of issuing good news and driving up prices to sell off are forms of price manipulation, and explained that although he was once optimistic about Kaito, his current stance has shifted to criticism.The analyst stated that his observation logic for Kaito has been simplified to testing whether the new product ecosystem can truly take off and generate social heat and scale close to 2025 levels. Even a recovery to 50% would prove that it remains a leader in InfoFi, and re-entering related positions at that time would be more assured. If product delivery falls short of expectations and ecosystem participation is average, he will not consider re-staking for now.He further mentioned that the aforementioned massive unlocks have mostly completed hedging and closing positions, and the spot supply has not been fully released. The true release signal should be when the spot price is significantly lower than the futures price, the funding rate is positively high, and the price is declining with volume. Without seeing these signals, he has no motivation to participate and advises investors to at least wait until after October to observe, while also reminding those who have recently bought back due to the price drop to be cautious.

According to official news, Kaito announced the launch of Kaito Katalyst, a new reward layer aimed at creator activities, where project parties can pay based on the actual results brought by creators. This mechanism is based on Kaito's latest intelligence infrastructure and supports the distribution of rewards through various flexible criteria such as mind share, clicks, registrations, deposits, and platform activities. The underlying support comes from Kaito's data protocol with X, Brevis_zk's verification architecture, and its self-built attribution infrastructure.In the past two months, Kaito has conducted pilot tests in multiple companies across AI laboratories, consumer-grade AI applications, smart hardware companies, as well as in the cryptocurrency and financial sectors, with some projects set to launch soon. For TGE projects, Kaito has also introduced a dedicated format with no service fees: project parties must provide both a refundable deposit and a reward pool to ensure that creators are aware that funds are in place before the release. Each activity will announce the token distribution pool and attribution terms in advance, allowing creators to clearly understand the content and timing of their earnings.Under this mechanism, 80% of the token pool is allocated to creators who deliver actual results, while the remaining 20% is distributed to KAITO stakers and holders of YT-sKAITO on Pendle. Long-term holders and Yapybara holders can receive additional multiplier rewards. Kaito stated that this structure continues the Stakedrop mechanism that has been in operation since 2025, bringing approximately 136% annualized returns to the entire Kaito ecosystem. This model is also applicable to tokenized equity projects willing to use tokens or equity to accelerate growth.

According to Cointelegraph, the on-chain security platform Blockaid released its security report for the first half of 2026 on Tuesday, stating that the amount stolen in the crypto industry exceeded $1 billion in the first half of the year. A total of 212 security incidents were recorded during this period, marking the highest number of hacking incidents in half a year. The number of verified high-risk vulnerabilities reached 3.4 times that of the entire year of 2025, with the largest single attack coming from KelpDAO, resulting in a loss of $292 million.The report shows that Ethereum and Solana were the two networks with the heaviest losses, with stolen amounts of approximately $332 million and $326 million, respectively. Ethereum incidents were primarily due to code vulnerabilities, with attackers mainly targeting vulnerabilities in high-value applications, involving key leakage incidents such as Humanity Protocol and StablR. Solana's losses significantly increased by about $127 million compared to 2025, but the increase did not stem from smart contract vulnerabilities; over 98% of the losses were due to key leakage, mainly involving Drift Protocol and Step Finance, which Blockaid associates with North Korean hacker organizations.

According to Jinshi News, Capital Economics stated that the yield spread between the 10-year and 2-year U.S. Treasury bonds will further narrow in the coming months, and the ongoing escalation of tensions in the Strait of Hormuz may lead to a complete inversion of the yield curve. The reason for this difference is that the expected rise in short-term real interest rates exceeds that of long-term real interest rates, with the Federal Reserve expected to raise interest rates by 75 basis points over the next year.
