Odaily Planet Daily News Bitcoin treasury company Strategy Inc. requested MSCI on August 31 to withdraw the eligibility test that could result in its removal from the Global Investable Market Index (GIMI). Executive Chairman Michael Saylor and CEO Phong Le stated that the methodology is discriminatory, arbitrary, and misguided.

MSCI proposes a two-stage screening process, where companies with operating assets exceeding 50% of total assets may retain their eligibility. Those that fail this test may be disqualified if they trigger at least four of five financial indicators. Simulations show that Strategy, Metaplanet, and Yellow Cake may be removed from the index, with Strategy involving a market capitalization of approximately $23.93 billion.

Strategy stated that neither U.S. GAAP nor IFRS distinguishes between operating and non-operating assets in the manner proposed by MSCI, and it lists its bitcoin treasury business as a separate operating segment. The company also has approximately 1,500 employees, a software business with annual revenue nearing $500 million, and issues bitcoin-backed credit instruments. The MSCI consultation will end on September 30, with a decision expected to be announced on October 16. (Bitcoin.com News)

Odaily News: Blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs reports that 32 price manipulation attacks have been recorded in 2026, surpassing the total of any previous full year; 2025 saw 12 incidents throughout the year. Such attacks account for roughly one-eighth of hacker incidents, up from one-seventeenth in 2022.

Attackers typically first inflate the price of low-liquidity tokens, then use them as collateral to borrow other assets from lending protocols. Subsequently, they cause the collateral price to plummet and abandon the collateral, potentially leading to bad debt in the lending pools.

According to DeFiLlama data, the total value locked in crypto-collateralized lending protocols has grown by approximately 56% over the past two years, approaching $50 billion, with active loan volume nearing $29 billion. The sector currently hosts over 570 lending protocols.

Recently, Tectonic suffered losses exceeding $70 million after the TONIC price was artificially inflated, with the attacker ultimately extracting approximately $6 million in assets after the Cronos chain was rolled back; Moonwell also previously incurred losses of around $8.7 million due to manipulation of the MAMO oracle price.
