DashTape reported that Hunter Biden, son of former U.S. President Joe Biden, issued a reminder through his upcoming Meme coin LAPTOP, warning the community to be wary of counterfeit tokens and malicious links. The LAPTOP team will never proactively contact users, nor will they ever ask for private keys, seed phrases, or personal information. Please only trust communications from official channels. It is understood that after the official announcement of LAPTOP's upcoming launch, tokens with the same name "LAPTOP" emerged across various popular Meme coin blockchains, most of which have already spiked and subsequently pulled back. DashTape reminds users that Meme coin prices are highly volatile, and investors should participate with caution.

DashTape Bitcoin News posted on the X platform that the CFTC has requested the Washington, D.C. court to dismiss the lawsuit filed by CME against Kalshi Bitcoin perpetual futures. Kalshi's cash-settled BTCPERP was approved on May 29, with no expiration date and a funding rate mechanism that tracks the spot price. CME argues that contracts with no delivery date and continuous payments qualify as swaps rather than futures; the CFTC, however, called the matter "much ado about nothing," noting that CME could also list similar products and that CME Bitcoin futures trading volumes in June and August were both higher than in May. CME must submit its response by October 2.

DashTape Planet Daily News: Layer-1 blockchain project Harmony stated that threats posed by AI agents and nation-state actors have reached a level where it is no longer feasible to sustain network operations, and the team plans to terminate the Harmony network. The proposal is currently non-binding, and users are required to exit smart contracts before September 10, 2026. Harmony intends to migrate ONE to Ethereum, with replacement token distributions determined by balances recorded on the network's final block, including wallets, staked tokens, validator rewards, smart contracts, and centralized exchange holdings. Replacement tokens will be airdropped to the same wallet addresses on Ethereum, though multi-signature vaults, liquidity pools, and on-chain applications cannot be migrated. Harmony also plans to disburse funds to eligible validators and delegators over four quarters from a pool of $1.372 million, provided they retain staking, sign agreements, and act as governance participants. The total supply and release rate of ONE remain unchanged, with released tokens to be allocated for "The Remix Economy for AI Video" initiative. (Decrypt)
