21Shares bitcoin, ether, and solana ETFs switch NAV to FTSE indexes today
An ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF 8-K filed August 26 says that beginning August 27, 2026 the trust will value shares and calculate net asset value from the FTSE Bitcoin Index instead of the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate - New York Variant, after 21Shares US LLC licensed FTSE on August 20 and gave June 30 notice that its CF Benchmarks license ends August 31. A same-day Ethereum Staking ETF 8-K makes the parallel switch to the FTSE Ethereum Index and records a Delaware certificate filed August 25 that changed the trust name from 21Shares Ethereum ETF. The Solana Staking ETF 8-K does the same for the FTSE Solana Index, and across those filings sponsor fees move from weekly in arrears to at least quarterly in arrears, payable in the underlying asset. This is a pricing-source and fee-timing change, not a new listing.
Avalanche Treasury reports 15.3 million AVAX and a $10 million buyback
Avalanche Treasury Corporation's August 26 press exhibit for the quarter ended June 30 says it held about 15.3 million AVAX, with about $100 million of carrying value at quarter-end prices, after completing its business combination and starting Nasdaq trading as AVAT on June 11, 2026. Staking revenue net of fees was about $1.5 million in the quarter and $3.6 million in the first half, while the company reported a net loss of $44.7 million, or $1.54 a share, and said about $35.7 million of that loss (around 80%) came from market-driven AVAX moves including fair-value changes, realized losses, and impairments, plus about $15.2 million of one-time deal costs and about $3.5 million of core general and administrative expense. The board approved a $10 million class A share repurchase, management hosted a call at 4:00 p.m. ET on August 26, and the same release cited a record Avalanche C-Chain quarter of about 236 million transactions and about $84 billion of stablecoin transfer volume.
Bitdeer mined 1,190 bitcoin in July as self-mining hash rate hit 76.7 EH/s
Bitdeer's July 2026 operations update, furnished on a Form 6-K dated August 26, says it mined 1,190 bitcoin, up 322% from 282 bitcoin in July 2025 and up from 990 bitcoin in June 2026. Self-mining hash rate in company-owned data centers reached about 76.7 EH/s versus 73.0 EH/s in June and 22.3 EH/s a year earlier, co-mining hash rate from Bitdeer rigs in third-party sites was 18.7 EH/s, and bitcoin held rose to 257 from 150 in June (versus 1,667 in July 2025), excluding customer deposits and including coins pledged as collateral. The same update says Malaysia A102's 9.5 MW is fully committed under long-term offtake agreements with expected contracted revenue exceeding $800 million, AI Cloud ARR was about $76 million, infrastructure updates will move from monthly notes to quarterly reports with earnings after an August 10 Q2 package, and the July note restates a $4.7 billion, 16-year Tydal, Norway AI/HPC lease announced in early August.
Magicians float Recomputable Verification Receipts, not an ERC yet
An Ethereum Magicians thread dated August 27, 2026 at 00:08 UTC asks for design feedback on Recomputable Verification Receipts, labeled a pre-ERC discussion draft with implementation baseline RVR v0.0.1-rc.2. The post says it is not an assigned ERC and that no formal ERC pull request has been opened. The experimental v0 receipt has six fields (claimDigest, evidenceSetDigest, verificationProfileDigest, outcome, reasonCode, and resultDigest) and separates a verification outcome (VERIFIED, REFUTED, or UNVERIFIABLE) from a recomputation status (REPRODUCED, DIVERGED, or CANNOT_RECOMPUTE). This is a forum draft, not a live Ethereum feature.
TokenLogic asks Aave Risk Stewards to lift stablecoin Slope1 in 10 bps steps
TokenLogic's August 24 Aave governance post proposes raising Slope1 on 22 stablecoin reserves by 50 basis points, leaving GHO on separate rate management and frozen reserves unchanged, while limiting Base USDC to a 25 basis-point move from 4.50% to 4.75%. At current balances the post estimates about $2.55 million of extra annual DAO revenue if demand does not change, and it flags that figure as a static estimate. It recommends implementing Slope1 increases in 10 basis-point steps through Risk Stewards and aligning Ethena yield-bearing stablecoin borrow costs with native staking rates over about two weeks. This is a service-provider proposal for steward execution, not a finished on-chain parameter change.
Kraken schedules a 15-minute derivatives pause at 07:00 UTC
Kraken's status page lists Derivatives Platform Maintenance as scheduled for August 27, 2026 from 07:00 UTC to 07:15 UTC. The notice says the derivatives platform will be unavailable for about 15 minutes while site maintenance runs. After the window, Kraken says there will be a post-only period while the venue comes back and completes checks. Spot funding incidents on other rails are separate from this clock.
Kraken still has delayed THORChain deposits and withdrawals
Kraken opened a THORChain Funding Delays incident at 07:45 UTC on August 26 and still had it in identified status as of 14:30 UTC the same day, with no resolved timestamp overnight. The first update said deposits and withdrawals for RUNE and RUJI may be delayed, while other funding methods were operating normally. Later notes said the issue was identified and that a fix was still being implemented. This is a venue rail delay, not a THORChain consensus halt.
Kraken Pro lists as a TradingView broker for spot orders
Kraken's August 25 product post says Kraken Pro is now a listed broker on TradingView, so eligible users can place spot orders from the TradingView terminal without opening a separate execution window. The connection uses OAuth and does not require generating, storing, or rotating API keys. Once connected, the Kraken Pro account appears in the TradingView broker panel with market, limit, and stop orders, plus balances and position size on the chart. Spot trading is what launched; Kraken says additional products come later, and access can be revoked from Kraken Pro settings.
