On August 21, NFT content distribution platform XCAD Network announced it will gradually cease operations. The project team stated that the company currently has no remaining funds, and continuing to maintain the token's listing on trading platforms has become a 'losing battle.' Existing products and services will no longer be maintained. XCAD Network noted that the company has been operating for about five years and is one of the few projects that have sustained operations for years without achieving a Tier 1 (T1) listing. As retail investors gradually exit the crypto market, fan tokens have failed to achieve the expected growth. The project team had previously attempted to pivot to the AI influencer sector but ultimately did not succeed. They mentioned that there are currently insufficient funds to continue company operations and are considering making the project code public for interested developers to run independently. However, this does not mean the company will continue operations, nor is it a project restart or relaunch. XCAD Network stated, 'This is not a restart.'

On August 21, the Anti-Corruption Data Collective (ACDC) released a study indicating that at least 152 anonymous wallets on Polymarket may have profited approximately $8 million by trading on advanced knowledge of U.S. military and defense-related information, achieving an average success rate of 97.2%. However, the research organization emphasized that blockchain data alone cannot prove the actual identities of the wallet controllers or confirm the sources of their information, and thus cannot definitively establish insider trading. ACDC analyzed settled markets on Polymarket, focusing on 'low probability high stakes' behaviors, defined as trades where at least $2,500 was wagered within one hour, with corresponding outcome probabilities not exceeding 35%. The study identified 556 wallets exhibiting abnormal trading patterns, of which 152 were linked to military and defense markets. These wallets, referred to by researchers as 'Orcas,' are characterized by their sudden appearance, betting on low probability events, and achieving unusually high success rates before cashing out. The study found that the success rate of low probability bets in military and defense markets was significantly higher than the overall level on Polymarket, with some abnormal trades quickly attracting large traders and automated trading bots. For instance, before a U.S. attack on Iranian nuclear facilities in June 2025, an unusual bet on U.S. military action prompted an automated trading bot to wager $200,000, followed by another large trader betting $100,000. Researchers also noted similar abnormal bets and follow-on trading behaviors before the U.S.-Israel attack on Tehran. ACDC co-founder David Szakonyi stated that the abnormal trading activities on Polymarket are more public than many traders realize, with large traders and bots tracking and replicating suspected informed trades, suggesting that foreign intelligence agencies may also be monitoring these publicly available on-chain trading activities. The issue of insider trading in prediction markets has recently drawn ongoing attention from regulators. In April, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) accused U.S. Army soldier Gannon Ken Van Dyke of trading Polymarket contracts using confidential information regarding the capture of former Venezuelan President Maduro, allegedly profiting over $404,000. This case is not directly related to the 152 wallets identified in the study. Additionally, in May, the CFTC charged a Google software engineer with trading 23 Polymarket contracts using confidential information related to the company's 2025 'Yearly Search' rankings, profiting approximately $1.2 million with nearly perfect accuracy. Polymarket has previously stated that the company closely monitors suspicious trading and has reported dozens of wallets to the relevant authorities. As the scale of prediction markets continues to expand, insider trading, market manipulation, and national security risks are becoming significant reasons for regulators to strengthen oversight.
