Odaily News – China Securities Co., Ltd. (CSC) released a report stating that in the A-share market, margin financing and ETF fund flows are moving in opposite directions. While the clearing process is not yet complete, volatility has narrowed. The sell-off pressure from investors who bought the dip earlier and are now looking to break even may constrain the pace of any rebound. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield is fluctuating at a high level of 4.7%, reflecting two factors: embedded inflation expectations and AI-related debt financing pushing up long-end rates. The U.S. Treasury's expanded bond buybacks signal that policymakers are reluctant to allow a hard tightening of financial conditions to harm AI and the broader economy, keeping the suppression of equities from interest rates relatively manageable. On the strategy front, the recovery market has a floor at the bottom and a ceiling at the top. The policy backstop intent is clear, but incremental capital has yet to reach a consensus, and stock-market dynamics remain characterized by zero-sum trading among existing players. A stronger catalyst is needed for the index to break out to the upside.

Odaily News, Tom Lee stated that next week could become an important "clearing event" for the US stock market, with the market reassessing enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (AI) investment and uncertainty surrounding Fed policy.
Tom Lee pointed out that the core question for the market right now is whether investor confidence can be restored after the recent cooling of AI trading. AI-related stocks have seen stagnating performance recently, influenced by two main factors: on one hand, concerns over data center investment demand and profitability returns; on the other hand, certain political factors have added to the uncertainty in AI industry development.
However, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang could be the key figure in reigniting market confidence. If Nvidia can demonstrate that demand for AI infrastructure remains strong, sustained order growth and market demand could drive capital back into the AI sector.
Meanwhile, Tom Lee noted that uncertainty over the Fed's policy outlook continues to rise, and upcoming speeches by officials will be important signals for the market to gauge the interest rate path.
Market participants believe that Nvidia-related news and Fed officials' statements next week could serve as key catalysts affecting tech stocks and overall risk assets. Investors will be watching whether the AI rally can regain upward momentum.
Odaily News According to reports, venture capitalist Josh Kushner has seen his wealth grow significantly this year, driven by early investments in star tech companies like OpenAI and SpaceX. The asset scale of his firm, Thrive Capital, has also nearly doubled as a result of betting on the wave of artificial intelligence.
It is reported that Josh Kushner's wealth has grown nearly threefold this year, placing him among the billionaires' circle. As the founder of Thrive Capital, he previously earned substantial returns by investing in companies such as Instagram, Spotify, and OpenAI, and has become one of the most successful venture capitalists in Silicon Valley in recent years.
On August 12, news broke that the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers were being sold to former Disney CEO Bob Iger and Josh Kushner at a record valuation of $12.5 billion. However, Josh Kushner did not mention the Lakers deal on social media that day, instead celebrating another AI-related investment move. On the same day, Thrive Holdings, founded by Josh Kushner in 2025, completed a $2 billion funding round with investors including SoftBank, reaching a company valuation of $12.5 billion. The firm aims to acquire traditional service companies and leverage AI technology to drive business transformation.
Josh Kushner said: "We are incredibly fortunate to be building during such a profound era of innovation."
Over the past few months, Josh Kushner has frequently appeared at core events in the tech and capital circles. Not only has he continued to bet on the AI industry through Thrive Capital, but he has also maintained close ties with OpenAI executives. In July this year, he attended the wedding of Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce, and later participated in the annual Sun Valley billionaire conference in the U.S., where he was photographed alongside OpenAI President Greg Brockman.
Market observers believe that as the AI investment boom continues, venture capital firms holding key AI assets like OpenAI are becoming some of the biggest beneficiaries. Josh Kushner, through his early bets on the AI ecosystem, has achieved massive wealth growth. (Forbes)

Odaily News: Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi stated that Iran has never feared US sanctions, and all their actions—whether blockades or military operations—have failed, and this new trick is bound to fail as well. Trump's so-called "economic action" is nothing more than the bullying tactics consistently used in US policy. "In a sense, it's like a movie we've seen countless times before; we know how to respond."
Araghchi noted that whether the US resorts to military operations or recycles old tactics, it proves they have run out of options. Facing the Iranian people, the US has no choice but to keep repeating the same plans. They should understand that there is no other way than engaging in respectful dialogue with the Iranian people and seeking solutions based on justice and honor. (CCTV News)
Odaily News, SlowMist Security Team disclosed that the cross-chain bridge project Allbridge suffered an attack on August 19, 2026, with losses of approximately $190,000. Notably, this attack was not executed instantaneously—the attacker began laying the groundwork nearly a month in advance, bypassing the verification mechanism through forged cross-chain messages.
According to SlowMist's analysis, on July 26, the attacker directly called Circle's MessageTransmitterV2.sendMessage function on the Polygon chain, constructing a cross-chain message disguised as CCTP-style, claiming a transfer of 1 million USDC, despite no actual USDC burn operation occurring. Subsequently, Circle generated a valid attestation for this complete message following standard procedures.
Approximately 24 days later, on August 19, the attacker waited for the Base Router to receive a genuine CCTP deposit, bringing its balance to approximately 191,000 USDC, then launched the attack just 6 seconds later. Using the previously forged message and attestation, the attacker called Allbridge's receiveCctpMessage function. Due to the project's lack of critical validation, the system mistook the fraudulent cross-chain message for a genuine deposit and recorded a 1 million USDC credit.
Subsequently, the attacker borrowed approximately 809,000 USDC temporarily via an Aave flash loan to match the Router's balance with the forged amount, then utilized the internal credit record to call the transfer function, ultimately moving out approximately 999,000 USDC (after deducting a 0.1% fee). After repaying the flash loan and fees, the attacker netted approximately $189,800 in profit. The root cause of this vulnerability lies in Allbridge's failure to verify the identity of the cross-chain message sender and receiver, as well as its failure to confirm whether USDC was genuinely minted or whether the balance actually increased—instead directly trusting the amount and message hash data constructed by the attacker.
SlowMist emphasized that on-chain message verification does not equate to actual asset arrival. Cross-chain protocols must not only verify message authenticity but also ensure the message source is trustworthy, confirm the receiver is Circle's official TokenMessengerV2, and only record assets after confirming actual minting and balance changes. This incident once again highlights the security risks in cross-chain bridges' message verification and asset settlement processes.
Odaily News, according to Lookonchain monitoring, an address has opened a 15x leveraged long position on 1.66 million ENA tokens on Aster DEX, with a position value of $289,000. Currently, it has gained a profit of $128,000, achieving a return rate of 667%.
