1️⃣ Polygon Restores Control Of Discord Server Following $145,000 Hack ❓
The Polygon team reportedly regained control of its community Discord after it was hijacked for about four hours on Saturday morning. The attack saw one user losing $145,000 in assets after falling for a scam link posted by the hijackers. The phishing link was found in a message seemingly from the account of its community lead Smokey. The message advertising a "special pre-migration" airdrop ahead of the Polygon network's planned migration from its native MATIC token to the upgraded POL token scheduled for Sep. 4.
Polygon wrote,
We have regained access and secured the Polygon community discord server. All external bots and integrations have been disabled while we perform a security review of each of them to avoid this from happening again.
Following the recent news related to the Telegram’s founder Pavel Durov, we want to assure everyone that the TON community remains strong and fully operational. As a community committed to freedom of speech and decentralisation, we stand firmly by Pavel during this challenging time.

1️⃣ Donald Trump Endorses Crypto Project 'The DeFiant Ones' Spearheaded By Two Of His Sons 🎙
In a Truth Social post on Thursday, former U.S. President Donald Trump promoted a telegram channel link for ‘The DeFiant Ones’ – a DeFi-related crypto project spearheaded by two of his sons. The channel appears to have 26,000 subscribers and features the tagline, "Official Trump DeFi Channel."
Trump’s post reads,
For too long, the average American has been squeezed by the big banks and financial elites. It's time we take a stand—together. #BeDeFiant
First year is all about onboarding Web3 people, because technology-wise and the community-wise, it is a little bit early to onboard the general users. And then phase two, within two years, we're going to onboard Sony products, such as, Sony Bank, Sony Music, Sony Pictures and so on. So we would like to integrate Web3 and blockchain technology into Sony's product. And in three years, we would like to onboard not only Sony, but also all enterprises and all general dapps on the top of it. But this is a general timeline. We're going to try to onboard enterprises as many as possible from the first year.
According to a Wednesday report from corporate influence watchdog Public Citizen, nearly half of all corporate political contributions in the 2024 election cycle came from cryptocurrency companies. Specifically, the report found that crypto companies like Ripple and Coinbase accounted for approximately $119 million out of a total of $248 million in corporate election spending. The vast majority of those donations have been contributions to Fairshake, a non-partisan super-political action committee focused on getting crypto-friendly candidates on both sides of the aisle elected. The Public Citizen’s report claims to be based on data provided by government transparency group OpenSecrets.

1️⃣ WazirX to Phase In Indian Rupee Withdrawals Starting Aug. 26 🔍
Indian crypto exchange WazirX has announced that it will re-enable rupee withdrawals on the platform. However, the rupee withdrawal services will be reintroduced in a phased manner with users getting access to withdraw 66% of their INR balances on the exchange over the next month. Specifically, the exchange said its customers could withdraw half the limit (33%) from Aug. 26 to Sept. 8 and the remainder (33%) from Sept. 9 to Sept. 22. The company stated that it had to continue keeping the remaining 34% of their INR balances frozen due to investigations by law enforcement agencies. The timeline for the release of those frozen balances is unclear.
Regarding cryptocurrency withdrawals, the exchange stated,
While we regret that users have not been able to make withdrawals of cryptocurrency from their account on the platform for some time, it is not possible to simply resume cryptocurrency withdrawals. Due to the cyberattack and loss of a significant balance of ERC-20 tokens as a result of the theft, there are insufficient token assets available to meet the liabilities arising from the token balances owing to users of the platform.
The CAT […] connects personally identifying information with wallet addresses that reveal blockchain-based user transactions. Thus, anyone with access to the CAT would be able to see not just a person’s securities transactions, […] but all of that person’s blockchain transactions in the past, present, and future.”
The Justice Department accused Bond of several counts of illegal handling and acceptance of campaign donations. She was also said to have filed ethics documents on behalf of the campaign that made bogus claims about the source of her money.

They used it to make a series of posts promising GRIMACE holders that their Instagram accounts would soon be followed by McDonald’s.

Ryan Salame, the former FTX executive who pleaded guilty to two felony charges in September 2023, is reportedly seeking to void his guilty plea in the criminal case involving campaign finance and money-transmitting crimes. Salame explained his decision by claiming prosecutors reneged on their agreement not to investigate his fiancée for campaign finance violations. Salame claims he pleaded guilty based on this assurance, but the government has since resumed investigating Bond. Salame’s lawyers also argued that the prosecutor’s tactics of using a third party as leverage to induce his plea was “improper” and “coercive.” They argue his plea should be invalidated on those grounds.

Sui has been in the news a lot lately, and not necessarily for all the right reasons. Its recent rally has raised lots of eyebrows, and the possibility that it could keep rallying is why we knew we had to cover it.
It seems that Sui’s recent price action was driven by a combination of three factors, only one of which the media seems to be talking about. One surprising factor related to DeFi seems to be the main cause.
Even if this pump turns out to be short lived, it looks like Sui could get a second wind in early September due to upcoming milestones that we discuss towards the end of the video, so watch until the end!

3️⃣ Kamala Harris Likely to Nominate Gary Gensler as Treasury Secretary if Elected: Senate Sources 🔍
According to a report from the Washington Reporter, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris plans to nominate SEC Chair Gary Gensler as Treasury Secretary if she wins the presidential election this November. The report cited multiple senior Senate staffers as its source.
Many in the industry view the development as bearish for crypto if true. Notably, the SEC brought a number of enforcement actions against some of the leading projects and companies in the industry including Coinbase, Kraken and Uniswap during Gensler’s time as Chair. His approach to crypto has been criticised by politicians from across the aisle.
However, the report has not received official confirmation and many remain skeptical about its legitimacy. A report by The Block noted that the Washington Reporter describes itself as a “right-of-center” digital newspaper. It also highlighted that the publication is staffed by self-described full-time Republican political “operatives” and was launched in 2024.

Specifically, Sun and Tron’s defendants attempted to dismiss the case by arguing that the SEC had no authority over “foreign digital asset offerings to foreign purchasers on global platforms.” The SEC responded by claiming this was a “new argument” in an Aug. 12 letter. They asked the judge to either not consider it in Sun’s motion to dismiss or force them to file a “sur-reply” to address the new argument. However, the New York judge sided with the defendants that no new argument had been introduced.
