Odaily News: Bonk Guy posted on X, stating that he had previously held a pessimistic view of Solana, even writing an analysis favoring Robinhood and BNB Chain, arguing that Solana would lose significant market share and attention in this cycle. Recently, however, his stance has begun to shift toward a bullish outlook on Solana and its ecosystem.

Bonk Guy believes that Solana has recently re-embraced the "trench" culture and has started to more actively promote community projects. Meanwhile, Solana's management proactively reached out to him to better understand how to align with the community and the "trench" ecosystem. Additionally, Solana officials and core members have recently begun to actively acknowledge ecosystem projects such as $STONK and $USELESS.

These changes are not merely positive for a specific token, but rather reflect a top-down cultural shift within Solana, as well as management taking the initiative to address issues within the ecosystem. He emphasized that his past criticism of Solana was never about its technology or infrastructure, but rather about the ecosystem culture and the impact of "extractors" on new projects and users within Solana.

Bonk Guy also revealed that his originally planned long-form analysis—which was bearish on Solana and bullish on Robinhood and BNB Chain—will first be shared with Solana for reference. Given the recent developments that have made him more optimistic, he may adjust his views and ultimately publish a more balanced analysis.

Bonk Guy concluded: "My Solana bias is changing."

Monitoring by the PPP Prediction Market Tool shows that the probability on Polymarket that "Donald Trump Jr. posts about LAPTOP on X & Truth Social in September" has dropped to 30%, down 20% in 24 hours.

The event rules state: if the designated person publishes qualifying written content related to Hunter Biden's Meme coin LAPTOP on X & Truth Social before 11:59 PM ET on September 30, 2026, the market resolves to "Yes"; otherwise, it resolves to "No." Merely using the word "LAPTOP" without clearly indicating the token in context does not qualify. Merely referencing Hunter Biden's LAPTOP, the Hunter Biden LAPTOP controversy, its content, related investigations, or any related events does not qualify.

Hunter Biden, son of former U.S. President Joe Biden, plans to launch the Meme coin LAPTOP on the Base chain on September 9. According to the official website description, the Meme coin LAPTOP is inspired by Hunter Biden's "laptop scandal" from six years ago. That scandal also dragged then-Vice President Joe Biden into a massive storm.

Odaily News, Bitget has released its August 2026 transparency report, disclosing the latest progress in building its multi-asset trading ecosystem. In terms of US stock tokens, taking rNVDA as an example, its single-day trading volume reached $38.5 million, with over 4,200 users completing approximately 112,800 trades. Around 36% of this trading volume occurred outside regular US market hours, reflecting that rToken is becoming a core tool for investors to break through traditional trading time constraints and achieve 7×24-hour global asset allocation.

On the institutional business front, Bitget has launched an institutional-grade CFD liquidity solution targeting quantitative teams, proprietary trading firms, funds, brokers, and high-net-worth professional traders, supporting high-frequency quantitative trading, spot-futures arbitrage, and automated trading scenarios such as EAs. Meanwhile, the platform has listed FCNs (Fixed Coupon Notes), bringing traditional financial structured products into the tokenized US stock market, making it the first crypto exchange to combine the FCN structure with USDT settlement and US stock rToken delivery. As related products and trading infrastructure continue to improve, Bitget is further strengthening its capabilities in institutional-grade services, multi-asset coverage, and liquidity.

Additionally, third-party data shows that Bitget stands out in terms of liquidity and execution efficiency for tokenized stocks and stock perpetual contracts. In DeFiLlama's liquidity benchmark tests covering five stock spot markets — MSTR, SPY, QQQ, CRCL, and NVDA — Bitget recorded the lowest median bid-ask spread of 0.83 basis points and maintained the deepest order book liquidity across all sampled markets. In execution benchmark tests covering 36 stock perpetual contracts and 8 metal and commodity perpetual contracts, Bitget maintained a deep lead on approximately 90% of trading pairs.

Odaily News: Entropy has launched an Anthropic Pre-IPO market on Hyperliquid. ANTH is up 5.4% in the past 24 hours, currently trading at $2,327, with a 24-hour trading volume of $14.32 million and open contract positions of $28.25 million.

Odaily News – A Hyperliquid user's account was compromised through unauthorized access, with approximately 738,600 USDC transferred out and an additional 10,287 HYPE unstaked. The affected account is identified by a specific address, with some of the stolen funds flowing to an address suspected to be associated with Bitget. As of the time of verification, the 10,287 HYPE remained in the staking balance and had not yet entered the withdrawal queue. If the attacker proceeds to initiate cWithdraw, the affected assets would be further transferred after a 7-day waiting period. In two similar recent cases, staked assets were stolen a second time due to the lack of a user-triggerable emergency pause mechanism, resulting in losses exceeding $1.1 million. Relevant recommendations include introducing a Guardian or Recovery mechanism that users can pre-enable, which would only temporarily pause withdrawals, transfers, and authorization changes. The pause would expire automatically, and restoration would require a time lock and evidence review, with all actions recorded on-chain.
