Odaily News: Binance Customer Support responded on the X platform to an article about "AKE (AKEDO) contract anomaly squeeze causing $5 million in losses," stating that during the period of September 3, 2026, at 05:44 (UTC+8), the AKE token experienced significant price volatility across the entire market. The related fluctuations were reflected across multiple mainstream trading platforms and on-chain markets, with overall trends being largely consistent. This constitutes market volatility rather than an anomaly on any single platform. Binance has not yet listed AKE for spot trading, and the AKEUSDT contract price and liquidation mechanism are not based on Binance's spot market but are calculated with reference to the network-wide spot market prices.
The significant fluctuation in AKE spot prices this time primarily occurred on other trading platforms and on-chain markets, which subsequently transmitted to the contract market. Binance contracts use the mark price as an important basis for liquidation judgments. The mark price comprehensively references price data from multiple markets and employs corresponding mechanisms to mitigate the impact of abnormal and extreme prices on liquidation. Upon verification, Binance's related systems operated normally, and no anomalies were found in the price mechanism. This situation was not caused by platform price anomalies or system failures, but rather represents the normal risk of leveraged positions under extreme market conditions.
Odaily News, according to GMGN data, the market cap of VISTA, a token on the Robinhood Chain ecosystem, briefly surged past $6.5 million and is now reporting approximately $4.3 million, up over 54x intraday.
RobinVista is an on-chain stock derivatives protocol built on Robinhood Chain, focused on packaging exposure to traditional stocks and Pre-IPO companies into tokenized assets tradable on-chain. It recently launched NVDA2L, a 2x leveraged token for Nvidia stock, and further listed Pre-IPO simulated stock tokens for two AI companies, OpenAI and Anthropic, with underlying trading support provided by Lighter.
The recent surge in VISTA is primarily driven by the multi-layered narrative of "Robinhood Chain + tokenized US stocks + leveraged stock tokens + OpenAI/Anthropic Pre-IPO." In particular, since OpenAI and Anthropic have not yet gone public, RobinVista introducing their Pre-IPO exposure to Robinhood Chain has sparked market attention toward VISTA, driving its market cap to rise rapidly in a short period.
Odaily reminds that the specific details of RobinVista still require further verification, and the token's price is highly volatile. Please be aware of trading risks.

Odaily News - Echo Base, an institution focused on stable digital asset companies, assisted in forming the BitMart Creditors' Committee on September 2 to represent users holding frozen assets, and has retained legal counsel to evaluate recovery options, including filing for unfunded bankruptcy proceedings.
On August 6, Echo Base proposed a funding package of up to $10 million to support BitMart in filing a pre-negotiated bankruptcy application, but received no response from BitMart. Echo Base stated that its actions stem from BitMart's failure to respond to the restructuring proposal and users' withdrawal requests.
Sonn Law Group has launched an investigation into users with frozen assets of $500,000 or more on BitMart, assessing potential claims and asset recovery options. Echo Base CEO Roshan Dharia stated that BitMart's employee plan can only sustain operations until January 2027, and the longer the delay, the fewer viable options remain. (Bitcoin.com News)
