C1 Fund also revealed that an early partial issuer repurchase by Ripple generated approximately a 150% return on investment for the fund in just over four months. (Businesswire)

Odaily News - Investment firm Dragoneer Investment Group has raised approximately $1 billion for a new continuation fund, using its stakes in star assets such as OpenAI, SpaceX, Databricks, and wealth management firm Creative Planning as leverage. However, sources familiar with the matter revealed that Dragoneer's initial fundraising target was $2 billion, and it remains unclear which specific assets are included in the final $1 billion fund.

It is understood that Dragoneer aims to hold some of its existing assets for a longer period through the continuation fund, thereby enhancing the fund's appeal to investors. This fundraising effort also reflects that, as the valuations of popular private tech companies like OpenAI and SpaceX continue to attract market attention, holding early-stage or private equity in these companies is becoming a key bargaining chip for asset management institutions in fundraising and asset restructuring.

Odaily News: U.S. President Trump stated on social media that the only reason communities across the country are unwilling to build data centers is that they want to fall behind and become poor. If they want success, wealth, significantly lower taxes, and jobs everywhere, then let data rule it all. The good news is that many other places welcome data centers. If we kill this goose that lays the golden eggs, only we will bear the responsibility.

Odaily News, according to Bitcoin News monitoring, OCEAN operator Mummolin Inc. and co-founder Luke Dashjr issued a joint statement on August 29, agreeing to part ways. Luke Dashjr resigned as OCEAN Chairman, Chief Technology Officer, and Director, and Mummolin bought back all of his equity. Neither party disclosed the transaction amount nor Luke Dashjr's previous shareholding ratio. Both parties stated that the split stemmed from differing visions regarding the future direction of Bitcoin mining.

The BIP-110 dispute subsequently escalated into a split of the Bitcoin chain. BIP-110, also known as the "Data Carve-out Temp Soft Fork," aims to restrict the use of Bitcoin transactions to store non-financial data, including content related to Ordinals. Before the activation period began, only 51 out of 2,016 blocks supported the proposal, accounting for 2.53%, falling below the 55% threshold required for activation.

On August 8, nodes enforcing BIP-110 split from the Bitcoin main chain by rejecting blocks that did not support the proposal. On that day, the minority chain only produced 2 blocks before halting; since then, the chain mined 6 more blocks, bringing the total to 8 blocks. The initial alternative chain blocks were mined by the Roughnecks mining organization using OCEAN infrastructure.

On August 10, other Bitcoin developers removed Luke Dashjr from the editor list of the Bitcoin Improvement Proposal repository, citing his involvement in BIP-110 and its editorial process. Luke Dashjr disputed this and stated that day that he would temporarily leave OCEAN to focus on Bitcoin and open-source development.

Luke Dashjr is currently advancing a new project called CONVOY, using the X account @CONVOY_Mining. This project will continue his push for the decentralization of Bitcoin mining, though its specific structure and launch arrangements have not yet been announced. The X account was created in August 2026 and currently has 0 posts and fewer than 500 followers.

OCEAN was founded by Mummolin and co-founded by Luke Dashjr in 2023, and previously secured a $6.2 million seed round led by Jack Dorsey. OCEAN operates under a non-custodial model, with mining rewards paid directly to miners rather than being held and distributed by the pool. OCEAN also developed the DATUM protocol, designed to give individual miners greater control over the transactions included in blocks they participate in mining. OCEAN stated that it will continue operating its transparent non-custodial mining pool and the DATUM protocol after Luke Dashjr's departure. According to Mempool.space data, OCEAN is still mining on the Bitcoin main chain.

The change proposed by Luke Dashjr altered the proof-of-work algorithm of the alternative chain to Blake2b, which went live on the new chain at approximately 3:00 AM EST on August 30, making it a hard fork of the Bitcoin main chain. The new chain continued from block 961,639, which was mined before the chain stalled, and reduced mining difficulty from 125 trillion to 30 million, a decrease of 99.99%. The new chain produces a block approximately every 4 minutes on average.

Despite the need to replace mining hardware, which is not directly compatible with the SHA-256 algorithm, the new chain quickly attracted over 170 EH/s of hashrate. As of the time of reporting, the Bitcoin main chain hashrate stood at 908 EH/s, while the new chain's hashrate was 177 EH/s. The Bitcoin main chain's hashrate is approximately 5 times that of the new chain. Coins mined on the new chain also require 100 confirmations before transfer, after which their value will be determined by the market.

Odaily Planet Daily News Cronos Network officially announced that the network has resumed block production and fully restored operations. Previously, Cronos had paused block production due to a vulnerability exploitation incident on the Tectonic protocol. Validators took emergency consensus measures to protect user funds and rolled back the chain state to before the Tectonic vulnerability exploitation on August 30. The network resumed block production on August 30 at 23:49:01 UTC from block height 90,896,189.

Cronos stated that the team will release a full post-incident review report once the network is confirmed to be stable.

Odaily News "White-Haired Stock God" Serenity stated that with Nvidia investing $3.5 billion in MediaTek, Nvidia appears to be proactively "selecting" potential winners in the next-generation ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) space through capital and strategic partnerships, with Marvell and MediaTek potentially emerging as key representatives.

Serenity believes that Nvidia's approach mirrors its earlier support for Neocloud companies Nebius and CoreWeave—namely, helping potential industry leaders grow before establishing deep financial and strategic ties, thereby consolidating its dominant position across the AI infrastructure supply chain. This strategy could create a "second-order effect" on Broadcom, weakening its relative advantage in the ASIC arena, while also potentially prompting AMD, Broadcom, and several major cloud service providers to strengthen cooperation further.

Serenity added that Nvidia's move deserves particular attention, as it will further cement its strategic position in the AI inference market and may also undermine the prior bearish thesis that "hyperscale cloud vendors developing in-house ASICs will pose a long-term challenge to Nvidia."
