Odaily News, CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated that as BTC rose from approximately $63,000 to $77,000 over the past 8 days, the proportion of BTC short-term holders (STH) in profit has climbed from 26.1% on August 17 to 74.9%, indicating that the majority of short-term holders have returned to a profitable state.

Meanwhile, the net profit/loss indicator for short-term holders flowing to exchanges has turned positive, reaching +28,600 BTC as of August 24, surpassing the +25,000 BTC level. Axel Adler Jr. pointed out that if this indicator continues to stay above +25,000 BTC while BTC's upward momentum begins to slow, the risk of concentrated selling by short-term holders will further increase. Conversely, if the indicator falls back to near zero while BTC's price remains stable, it would suggest that potential selling pressure is easing.

The service recruited clients via Telegram accounts, offering malicious scripts, automated theft, cross-chain withdrawals, and automatic profit distribution. In this case, the phishing group was responsible for purchasing ads, deploying fake entry points, and providing the final receiving addresses; after the theft succeeded, the backend automatically split the funds.

Odaily News: On August 21, 2026, PeaqOS integrated World ID, allowing robots and machines operating on PeaqOS to natively request and verify World ID proofs via robotic.sh, confirming that the interacting party is a real and unique human—without collecting names, facial information, or other personal data.

The system employs zero-knowledge proofs, meaning machines receive cryptographic proof that the user is a real human, rather than identity information. As a coordination layer, PeaqOS connects to World ID through decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and machine markets, recording auditable interaction logs.

This solution can be applied in scenarios such as autonomous delivery, shared machines, and pharmaceutical delivery. Users can verify multiple times in the World App and during the delivery process, allowing robots to confirm that the recipient is the same person associated with the order. PeaqOS also plans to extend zero-knowledge verification to more DePIN projects. (Bitcoin.com News)

According to Odaily, the ETH/BTC ratio has recently formed a "golden cross," where the 50-day moving average has crossed above the 200-day moving average. Since early June, ETH has consistently outperformed BTC, with the ETH/BTC ratio rising approximately 25% from its June 6 low.

Historical data shows that the performance of ETH/BTC following a golden cross has been inconsistent. After the golden cross on July 25, 2025, the ratio rose about 36% over the following four weeks, but subsequently turned downward; following the February 2021 golden cross, it once surged approximately 93%. However, the two golden crosses in May and August 2022 both failed to sustain upward momentum. CoinDesk noted that the golden cross is a lagging indicator based on historical prices and does not necessarily imply that ETH will continue to outperform BTC going forward. (CoinDesk)
