Odaily Planet Daily News 21Shares stated that selling pressure in the Bitcoin market may be nearing exhaustion. Data shows that the Bitcoin Seller Exhaustion Constant currently stands at approximately 0.007, placing it within the lowest 0.3% of all readings since 2010.
21Shares noted that this marks the 11th time such a low reading has occurred in Bitcoin's history; following the 10 previous instances, Bitcoin's performance one year later consistently exceeded levels at the time, with a median gain of 155%. However, 21Shares emphasized that this indicator does not confirm that Bitcoin has bottomed out. Historical data indicates that after a seller exhaustion signal emerges, Bitcoin may still continue to decline in the short term before a trend reversal is completed.

Odaily Planet Daily News: On August 20, Arbitrum activated the ArbOS 61 "Elara" upgrade, adding optional protocol-level transaction filtering, priority fee support, and an alternative data availability interface for dedicated chains, while adjusting Arbitrum One's base fee management and expanding Stylus contract capacity. The compliance filtering feature is disabled by default, and chain owners must proactively configure external compliance service providers such as TRM Labs or Chainalysis and set rules, which are enforced through transaction simulation and on-chain guardian mechanisms. The priority fee feature is also disabled by default, requiring chain owners to enable it via precompiles; the collection of priority fees on Arbitrum One still requires a separate DAO vote.
Odaily News: As concerns grow across the United States over AI data centers' water usage, electricity consumption, and impact on local infrastructure, tech companies such as OpenAI and Meta are adding community relations staff to reduce the risk of local opposition to data center projects. A Gallup survey shows that about 70% of Americans oppose the construction of data centers in their areas, and in the first three months of this year, at least 75 data center projects with a total value of approximately $130 billion were blocked or delayed due to local opposition.
Among them, OpenAI is hiring a head of community engagement to mitigate opposition to its data center projects in Ohio and Georgia, while Meta is recruiting a community engagement manager to build relationships with local officials and school districts. Additionally, OpenAI announced this week that it is investing $40 million to establish a community fund in Ohio, Meta has spent millions of dollars on advertising campaigns promoting data centers, and Microsoft has stated it will no longer seek local tax incentives for new data center projects.

Odaily News, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) disclosed that the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York has issued supplemental consent orders to Caroline Ellison, former CEO of Alameda Research, and Gary Wang, co-founder of Alameda and FTX, formally resolving enforcement cases against the two. Both are required to continue cooperating with the CFTC's investigation. Ellison was handed a 5-year trading ban and a 10-year registration ban, while Wang received a 5-year trading ban and an 8-year registration ban. The ban periods begin from the effective date of the initial consent orders signed on December 23, 2022.
The CFTC is currently not seeking additional disgorgement, restitution of ill-gotten gains, or civil monetary penalties from the two. The CFTC's Enforcement Division stated that both individuals provided substantial assistance during the investigation and related litigation, including pleading guilty in federal criminal cases and assisting with investigations into FTX-related matters. In 2022, the court found Ellison liable for two counts of fraud alleged by the CFTC, and Wang liable for one fraud charge, permanently prohibiting both from violating the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC-related anti-fraud regulations. Both have admitted to multiple offenses in related criminal cases, including conspiracy to commit commodity fraud, and jointly bear responsibility for a forfeiture order of approximately $11.02 billion.

The company has been operating for five years and is one of the few companies that persisted this long without a T1 listing. After retail investors left the space, fan tokens failed to take off; attempts to pivot toward AI influencers were also unsuccessful, and there are no funds left to continue operations.
