Odaily News – After South Korea raised capital thresholds and added trading restrictions, the leveraged trading capital previously concentrated in Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix has contracted notably. However, some market participants worry that the restricted leveraged capital may shift toward index-based or overseas leveraged ETFs, and the effectiveness of the regulatory measures still requires further observation.

Looking at specific targets, eight products linked to SK Hynix saw net selling of approximately 1.2415 trillion KRW, while eight products tied to Samsung Electronics recorded net selling of around 531.6 billion KRW.

The cooling in trading activity is equally pronounced. The aforementioned 16 products posted an average daily trading volume of roughly 11.6787 trillion KRW from their listing in May through July 30. Since August, this has dropped to about 1.0059 trillion KRW, a decline of more than 90%, now equivalent to only about 8% of the level seen before the regulatory measures were implemented.

The regulatory tightening began on July 31. South Korea's financial regulators raised the base margin threshold for single-stock leveraged ETFs from 10 million KRW to 30 million KRW; starting August 19, investors are also required to complete simulated trading before transacting in related products. Regulators plan to further increase the minimum trading unit, targeting an adjustment to 20 shares by November. Before the regulations were introduced, single-stock leveraged ETFs had enjoyed strong popularity among South Korean retail investors. Between May 27 and July 30, individual investors cumulatively net purchased approximately 15.2876 trillion KRW across the aforementioned 16 products, with SK Hynix-related products attracting about 9.9365 trillion KRW and Samsung Electronics-related products drawing around 5.3511 trillion KRW.

Odaily Planet Daily News Ash Crypto posted on X platform that ETH/BTC is at a critical breakout level. The price is forming a triangle pattern with lower highs and higher lows, with the range continuously narrowing, indicating that a significant move is imminent.

Odaily News "White-haired Stock Guru" Serenity posted on X, stating that when he first joined X, financial content was flooded with luxury watches, private jets, options trading, "Wall Street secrets" paid communities, and technical analysis charts. He has always wanted to take a different approach by openly sharing his research and investment logic, allowing everyone to access it for free and make their own judgments. Moreover, he recently discovered another disappointing pattern: people first try to compete for the same audience, then quickly funnel traffic toward paid communities or high-priced services; when he refuses to participate in or promote paid groups, they resort to personal attacks disguised as "fundamental disagreements."

Serenity stated that his subscription price has remained at $1 for months and will continue to stay at the minimum price in the future. Although some have claimed he would eventually raise the subscription price to $100, his core investment logic is posted directly on his main X timeline. He could actually put more content behind the paywall, but "I just don't want to do that."

Serenity also listed multiple investment ideas he has previously shared, including AXTI, NBIS, AEHR, MU, INTC, EWY, MRVL, LITE, RPI, IQE, SOI, TSEM, ARM, COHR, among others—many of which have already performed well. Some other investments have yet to pay off due to delays in industry progress, including LPKF's glass substrate and Auros' hybrid bonding. Certain investment themes may not be validated until 2027 to 2028, including Sivers, Foci, Shunsin, CCXI, XFAB, as well as CPO and humanoid directions. There is also some latest research on Etron/ESMT DDR2/DDR3.

Serenity concluded by saying that not every investment idea will prove correct—that is inherently part of the research process. Compared to seeing information increasingly locked behind a $100 paywall or diluted by "engagement-bait" content, he hopes X can foster a new culture where investment logic is openly shared and everyone can learn from the research.

Odaily News: The sandwich attack bot operated by JaredfromSubway.eth has extracted a cumulative total of 117,007 ETH since March 2023, worth approximately $295 million at current prices. In June 2026, an anonymous attacker deployed 66 counterfeit token contracts, exploiting the bot's automated trading logic to steal at least $7.5 million in ETH and stablecoins, and funneled the funds into Tornado Cash. The stolen assets have not yet been recovered.

Sandwich attacks are a form of Maximal Extractable Value (MEV): the bot monitors large transactions in Ethereum's public mempool, buys ahead of the target transaction, and sells after the transaction pushes the price up, capturing profits from the spread. The bot's primary contract had received a cumulative total of 117,007 ETH as of August 28.

MEV-Boost block construction is centralized among a small group of participants, with relay.ultrasound.money, Titan Relay, and bloXroute regulated relays collectively forwarding approximately 85% to 88% of related blocks within a 24-hour window; Titan's builder independently assembled 50.3% of the blocks. Monthly sandwich attack extraction amounts have declined from approximately $10 million in late 2024 to roughly $2.5 million in October 2025. (Bitcoin.com News)

Odaily News: Rekt Capital posted on X platform, stating that Bitcoin's cyclical lows in February and June 2026 were in roughly the same price zone, with the RSI also at nearly identical oversold levels. After both bottoms, Bitcoin rebounded to approximately $80,000. Compared to the May 2026 high, this round's rally back to around $80,000 saw the RSI show significantly higher overbought conditions, yet the price formed a lower high. The RSI making a higher high while the price makes a lower high indicates a hidden bearish divergence at the key resistance level of approximately $80,000 on Bitcoin's daily chart. As long as Bitcoin's price fails to break through and form a new higher high, this hidden bearish divergence will continue to persist.

Monitoring by the PPP prediction market tool shows that in the Polymarket event "Will the Fed maintain interest rates unchanged in September," an account (0x3a8aa345d5db7ec5138298c8c4f4540259be7699) that has earned over $270,000 in profit in the past week purchased $938,000 worth of shares betting that the Fed will raise interest rates by 25 basis points in September. The average entry price was 39.3¢, with a position of 2,017,336.0 shares. Additionally, the account holds approximately $3.06 million in shares betting that the Fed will NOT cut interest rates by 25 basis points in September, with an average entry price of 98.2¢.

According to the settlement rules, this market will settle based on interest rate changes following the Fed's FOMC meeting in September 2026. If the rate adjustment magnitude is not among the existing options, it will be rounded up to the nearest 25 basis points—for example, a cut or hike of 12.5 basis points will be calculated as 25 basis points. If no relevant statement is released before the meeting concludes, the event will settle as "unchanged." The Fed's next FOMC meeting will take place from September 15 to 16, 2026.
