π Ethereum's Top Sandwich Bot Made $295M β Then Lost $7.5M
A single Ethereum contract has extracted over 117,000 ETH (~$295M) by sandwiching traders since March 2023 β front-running buys and back-running sells to pocket the difference.
In June, an anonymous attacker flipped the script. They deployed 66 transactions to exploit the bot using its own MEV tactics, draining $7.5M in a single attack.
Sandwich bots work by spotting a pending trade, inserting a buy just before it and a sell just after β profiting from the price movement caused by the victim's own transaction. This time, the hunter became the hunted.

βΏ Saylor Hints at First Bitcoin Buy in Two Months
Bitcoin climbed back toward $79,000 over the weekend after dipping on Friday, with BTC dominance rising above 60% as altcoins continued to lose ground.
Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), posted his signature "Bitcoin tracker" chart on social media β a move he has historically made just before announcing a new purchase. If confirmed, it would be Strategy's first Bitcoin acquisition in roughly two months.
Strategy's valuation has expanded alongside the price rebound. No official purchase announcement has been made yet.

XRP has climbed 53% from its $0.99 low, now trading around $1.38, with resistance levels at $1.44 and $1.69 already tested.
A key catalyst on the horizon: a September 15 vote on the CLARITY Act, which could shape US crypto regulation. Standard Chartered has issued the most bullish institutional target on XRP at $8 β roughly 5x from current levels β though that represents a best-case scenario, not a guaranteed outcome.
The source also references an unnamed pre-listing token as a buying opportunity, but provides no verifiable project details, making it impossible to report factually.

βΏ Bitcoin's First Quantum-Safe Transaction Mined on Mainnet
On August 26, Bitcoin confirmed its first known quantum-safe transaction on the live network β a significant milestone in crypto security research.
StarkWare researcher Avihu Levy developed the method, called Quantum Safe Bitcoin (QSB), and tested it on mainnet. Mining firm MARA processed the transaction through its private Slipstream service, which allows non-standard transactions to be included in blocks without changing Bitcoin's consensus rules or requiring a soft fork.
The experiment proves that quantum-resistant transactions are technically possible on Bitcoin today as an opt-in option. However, QSB is currently expensive, non-standard, and far from a network-wide solution β it's a proof of concept, not a protocol upgrade.
The significance: if quantum computers eventually become powerful enough to break Bitcoin's current cryptography, this approach could offer a path to defense without requiring a hard fork or full network consensus.

Bitcoin is trading around $78,024 after pulling back from a three-month high above $81,200. The move follows a strong August recovery from roughly $63,000.
Onchain data points to renewed investor activity: Bitcoin's realized capitalization grew by over $4.6 billion in just seven days β the strongest such expansion in recent months, according to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost. Realized cap measures capital actually entering the network, making it a key indicator of genuine liquidity rather than price speculation.

Atkins aligned the SEC's position with the White House's broader pro-crypto agenda, signaling a shift toward regulatory clarity rather than enforcement-first policy.
