Report: Businesses are absorbing Bitcoin at four times the rate miners are producing it According to Cointelegraph, a report from Bitcoin financial services company River indicates that private and public companies are absorbing Bitcoin at a rate nearly four times faster than miners are producing new coins. River reports that these companies, including publicly listed Bitcoin Reserve Companies and traditional or private companies, will collectively purchase an average of 1,755 Bitcoins per day in 2025. Data shows that ETFs and other investment vehicles will purchase an additional 1,430 Bitcoins per day in 2025, while governments will purchase approximately 39 Bitcoins per day. Bitcoin miners produce an average of approximately 450 new Bitcoins per day. If exchange reserves continue to decline and institutions continue to hold their Bitcoin, a supply shock could occur. Analysts are still speculating on the likelihood and potential impact of such a supply shock, but some predict it would be a positive catalyst for Bitcoin prices. Furthermore, River reports that in the second quarter of 2025, Bitcoin Reserve Companies purchased 159,107 Bitcoins, bringing the total number of Bitcoins held by companies to approximately 1.3 million.

Tom Lee: The Federal Reserve is restarting its moderate rate cut cycle, which may make it difficult for traders to determine their US stock positions According to Jinshi, the US stock market faces a critical period in the coming weeks, one that will determine whether its latest rebound can continue. Employment data, key inflation indicators, and the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision will all be released over the next 14 trading days, setting the market tone for investors. The stock market appears to be at a crossroads: the S&P 500 just posted its weakest monthly gain since March, with September historically its worst month. Meanwhile, market volatility has all but vanished. The VIX index, a fear index, has only touched the key 20 level once since late June. "Investors are right to be cautious in September," said Thomas Lee, head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors. "The Fed is resuming a moderate rate-cutting cycle after a long pause, making it difficult for traders to determine their positions." The long-term US stock bull predicts the S&P 500 will fall 5% to 10% this fall before rebounding to between 6,800 and 7,000 points.

Inflation hedging and preservation: Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million, and Ethereum's deflation mechanism means there is no dilution risk; 3. Diversification and capital efficiency: ETFs have promoted institutional adoption, and Bitcoin has outperformed the US dollar, gold and US bonds over the past three years.

An investor's WLFI in a private placement was stolen due to a private key leak and an EIP-7702 phishing exploit. SlowMist Yuxian disclosed on the X platform that an investor lost all of their WLFI from a private placement due to a private key leak. He stated that this was a classic EIP-7702 phishing exploit. First, the private key was leaked. The phishing gang (possibly more than one) embedded an EIP-7702 exploit in the wallet address corresponding to the victim's private key. This exploit automatically transfers any remaining tokens, such as WLFI tokens that were thrown into the Lockbox contract. A front-running strategy is feasible: injecting gas, canceling or replacing the embedded EIP-7702 with their own tokens, and transferring the value tokens. These three actions are bundled and sent in a single block using flashbots.
