Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson stated that the privacy blockchain project Midnight has finalized a partnership in Japan, with further details to be announced later. Following this announcement, market attention has shifted back to Cardano's expansion pace in the Japanese market.

Midnight has finalized a collaboration with Japan.

In a recent travel update, Hoskinson stated that his trip to Japan was primarily to meet with large corporations and introduce Midnight's positioning and application directions. He mentioned that companies are increasingly prioritizing privacy protection capabilities when evaluating blockchain solutions.

He also revealed that the team has finalized an agreement for Midnight in Japan, stating that this collaboration is related to the liquidity of the NIGHT token in Japan. However, he did not disclose the name of the partner, only saying that more details would be revealed later.

Payment cooperation is being promoted simultaneously.

At the same time, Cardano's business entity EMURGO announced a partnership with Japanese fintech company Slash Vision Labs and a collaboration agreement with crypto platform SecondFi.

According to the disclosure, Japanese users will soon be able to apply for a Cardano Card and use stablecoins for purchases on Japanese payment networks, covering common QR code payment scenarios in daily shopping.

The Japanese market presence continues to deepen.

Japan has always been one of Cardano's core markets, boasting a large ADA user base and a relatively clear regulatory environment. With the announcement of the Midnight collaboration and the advancement of the Cardano Card, Cardano is continuing to deepen its business presence in the region.

The original article also mentioned that if these collaborations bring more users and on-chain activity, it could help increase the demand for ADA. Regarding price trends, the article only cites analysts' opinions and does not provide further data to support them.

The Sandbox Suspends Cross-Chain Bridge Between Base and BNB Chain: Unsecured SAND Why Can't We Just Look at the Coin Minting Volume?
On August 22, The Sandbox stated that a vulnerability was discovered in its SAND cross-chain bridge on Base and BNB Smart Chain. Attackers were able to mint tokens without the corresponding Ethereum SAND locking support. The team subsequently suspended the related cross-chain functionality and claimed that the vulnerability had been contained. The core issue of this incident is not merely the simple "minting" of additional tokens, but rather the disruption of the most fundamental accounting relationships between cross-chain assets: the mapped tokens on the target chain should correspond one-to-one with the assets locked or destroyed on the source chain; once unsecured minting occurs, the market can no longer assume equivalence between SAND on different chains.

UK retail sales fell by 0.5% in July: Why hasn't this single-month decline erased three months of growth?
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) of the UK announced on August 21 that retail sales in July fell by 0.5% month-on-month, marking the first monthly decline in three months; however, sales were still 1.6% higher than in July 2025. Over the three months to July, there was a 1.1% increase compared to the previous three months, and year-on-year, there was a 3.0% growth. These figures reflect both a short-term weakening and an improvement over a longer period. It is not appropriate to conclude that consumer spending has deteriorated based solely on the -0.5% figure, nor can one claim that household demand has strongly recovered just because of the year-on-year positive growth.

OpenAI Funds 14 Studies on the "Intelligent Era": Why Can't AI Policy Experiments Be Answered Only by Model Companies?
On August 17, OpenAI announced funding for 14 projects led by independent organizations, with themes focusing on economic opportunities and social resilience, continuing the discussions on "industrial policies in the intelligent era" initiated in April of this year. The selected projects cover areas such as labor force, education, local governance, social security, and technology diffusion. Compared to a single product launch, this arrangement is more worth observing from a methodological perspective: when AI affects not only software functionality but also employment structures, skill investments, and public institutions, it becomes difficult to determine who will bear the costs, how the benefits will be distributed, and which policies are effective in different regions, relying solely on internal research within model companies.
