Zcash and Monero move closer to activation, BNB, Base and Solana trading resumes, and churn comes back on the network. Plus two new pieces of the protocol's economics: POL mimirs go operational, and the Stable Reserve ships."

> **Video Content:** Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stands at a podium at the U.S. Treasury Department, delivering remarks as a Fox News chyron announces "BESSENT: LAUNCHING ECONOMIC ONSLAUGHT ON IRAN," with a crude oil ticker showing prices at $85.12, down 2.23%. The image ironically pairs with the THORChain post, suggesting decentralized exchanges like THORChain would thrive amid heavy-handed U.S. sanctions targeting Iran's economy.

Unstoppable treasury snapshot for August 24:

 ZEC - 35.4%
 BTC - 34.8%
 XMR - 7.9%
 RUNE - 5.1%
