CFTC Reminds Prediction Market Platforms to Properly File Incentive Programs
According to CoinDesk, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued additional guidance requiring prediction market platforms to properly manage user incentive programs.

Proposed Bitcoin Soft Fork BIP‑54 Finalizes Specification, While F2pool Opposes Early Activation
According to Bitcoin.com News, the specification for Bitcoin’s proposed BIP‑54 soft fork, known as Consensus Cleanup, was completed in May 2026. It is designed to address four edge cases in the consensus rules without introducing new Bitcoin functionality. F2pool co-founder Wang Chun said the mining pool would upgrade its nodes if the proposal secured the required majority through the standard BIP‑9 process, but would not signal support in advance. BIP‑54 has been tested on Bitcoin Inquisition, while its formal activation parameters and mainnet vote remain undecided.
CFTC Issues Emergency Order Requiring Kalshi to Remain Operational, Citing Risks From Closing Bitcoin Positions
According to Bitcoin.com News, the CFTC ordered prediction market platform Kalshi on August 11 to continue operating according to its normal business practices, after determining that New York State’s attempt to prevent the platform from operating constituted a market emergency. The CFTC warned that forcibly closing a Bitcoin price position expiring at the end of 2026 could prompt traders to unwind Bitcoin and other asset positions simultaneously, while exposing arbitrageurs holding opposite positions to one-sided risk. The order also covers contracts involving interest rates and macroeconomic events.

According to Decrypt, Figure Lending LLC allows borrowers to use Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana as collateral and receive cash worth up to 75% of the collateral value while retaining ownership of their tokens.

Security Alert
Users should remain alert to approval phishing attacks. Scammers may imitate airdrop, staking, wallet upgrade, or customer support pages to persuade users to connect their wallets and sign token approvals. The attackers can then use those permissions to transfer assets. Chainalysis reported that Operation Atlantic identified more than 20,000 related victims, demonstrating the continued reach of this attack method. Users should verify domains through official project channels, avoid wallet connection links received through private messages, and never disclose seed phrases or private keys. Before signing, carefully review the approved contract, spending limit, and transaction details, and regularly revoke unnecessary contract permissions.
