According to Foresight News, the DeFi Education Fund, along with 115 crypto builders, investors, and advocates, has submitted a joint letter to the Senate Banking and Agriculture Committees. The letter calls for protections for software developers and non-custodial service providers in market structure legislation, emphasizing that without such protections, they cannot support any related market structure bills. The letter highlights the need for U.S. digital asset legislation to recognize and protect the historical rights of open-source software development. It stresses that developers and non-custodial service providers should not be subjected to traditional financial intermediary regulations simply for creating, developing, releasing, and maintaining blockchain networks or providing user access interfaces where users manage their own funds. The aim is to prevent non-intermediary activities from being wrongly classified as money transmission businesses. The letter also notes that regulatory uncertainty has led to a decline in the proportion of open-source software developers in the U.S., dropping from 25% in 2021 to 18% in 2025.

According to PANews, Arthur Cheong, CEO and CIO of DeFiance Capital, recently expressed dissatisfaction on social media regarding how some Web3 startups handle business closures. Cheong criticized the lack of communication with investors when these companies shut down, describing the practice of "quietly disappearing" as unacceptable. He emphasized that even in failure, companies should at least send an email to investors with apologies and gratitude. Cheong referenced a post analyzing current venture capital models, highlighting issues such as lack of oversight, weak accounting foundations in startups, minimal decision-making power for investors, and a tendency for investors to focus on successful projects while neglecting failed ones. The model relies heavily on the ethical conduct of founders, but in a bullish market with abundant capital, founders might benefit personally through high salaries, bonuses, luxury travel funded by the company, renting personal office space to the company, or paying fees to affiliated companies. The post pointed out that these practices not only benefit founders significantly but also enhance their professional profiles, while investors' returns may decrease substantially or even become negative. Cheong agreed with these observations, stating that such situations remain unacceptable.

According to BlockBeats, Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) Executive Director Yeh Wai-ching and Legislative Council member Ng Kit-chung have been removed from the guest list of the Bitcoin Asia Summit, scheduled for August 28-29. Initially listed as speakers, both officials withdrew after receiving advice against interacting with Eric Trump, a guest at the event. Eric Trump, the second son of U.S. President Donald Trump, is an Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization and is involved in several U.S. cryptocurrency projects. The SFC stated that Yeh's absence is due to a business trip, while Ng cited family reasons for his cancellation. The South China Morning Post, citing informed sources, reported that the withdrawal was prompted by instructions to avoid engagement with Eric Trump. The summit, taking place on August 28-29, lists Eric Trump as a keynote speaker. An expert with ties to Beijing suggested the directive aims to prevent any collaboration or flattery towards Trump.

According to PANews, German publicly traded company Nakiki SE has announced that its management board is assessing the interest of professional investors in a planned share issuance. The company aims to raise "tens of millions of euros" through this securities offering, with the proceeds earmarked for strategic investments in Bitcoin. Nakiki SE previously declared its intention to fully adopt a Bitcoin treasury strategy, aspiring to become the first publicly listed company in Germany to implement a pure Bitcoin reserve asset business plan.

According to BlockBeats, despite some analysts forecasting Bitcoin's price to reach $200,000 by 2026, most Polymarket investors are betting that it will fall below $100,000 by the end of this year. As of Wednesday, traders wagering on whether Bitcoin will drop below $100,000 this year estimate a 61% likelihood of this outcome. This figure is slightly lower than Monday's prediction, where 72% of bettors anticipated Bitcoin's trading price would again fall below $100,000. Presto Research analyst Min Jung noted that so far, the large-scale sell-off by whales and long-term holders has been met with sufficient buyer demand, particularly from corporate bonds and institutional allocators. However, if these major players begin to close positions more aggressively, the key issue will be whether there are enough new entrants to absorb this supply. If demand fails to keep pace, the likelihood of falling below $100,000 increases. David Hernandez, a cryptocurrency investment expert at 21Shares, commented that Bitcoin's sell-off is a sign of market maturation. Paradoxically, while a significant pullback might dampen short-term enthusiasm, it could also catalyze a healthier market by redistributing supply from concentrated whales and corporations to a broader base of retail and institutional holders, ultimately strengthening Bitcoin's long-term foundation.
