# Ethereum Classic (ETC): From Ethereum’s Fork to a 90%+ Value Loss ## What Is Ethereum Classic? ETC emerged in 2016 after The DAO was hacked,putting about 3.6 million ETH under the attacker’s control. Most backed a hard fork to reverse the attack and recover the funds. Those opposing changes to blockchain history stayed on the old chain,which became **Ethereum Classic**. The new chain continued as Ethereum. ## The “Code Is Law” Philosophy ETC was built around “Code Is Law”: blockchain transactions should remain immutable. The DAO attack became a philosophical debate over blockchain principles. ## How Did ETC’s Price Explode? During the 2021 bull market, ETC rose from about 5 $ to above 170 $ in May—a gain of more than **3,000%**. Its market cap reached billions of dollars. ## Ethereum’s Merge Put ETC Back in the Spotlight Ethereum’s 2022 shift to Proof-of-Stake ended Ethereum mining and raised expectations that miners would move to alternative PoW networks. ETC rallied on these expectations, but lasting growth did not materialize. ## Major Security Problems ETC suffered a major 51% attack in 2019 and multiple attacks in 2020. ## Why Did ETC Fall Behind Ethereum? Ethereum grew into a massive ecosystem spanning DeFi, NFTs,stablecoins, Layer-2 networks and smart contracts, while ETC remained smaller. The gap in developers, users and use cases widened. ## A Major Disappointment for Investors After rising above 170 $ in 2021, ETC fell more than 90% from its peak,causing major losses for investors who bought near the top. ## Is Ethereum Classic Completely Finished? No. ETC remains active,retains Proof-of-Work and supports smart contracts. ## Conclusion Ethereum Classic began as Ethereum’s old chain after the DAO-related ideological split. It surged above 170 $ in 2021,but the rally proved temporary. Today, $ETC remains alive, yet the gap with Ethereum has grown. **Will Ethereum Classic continue to lag behind Ethereum in the technology race?** $ETH

# PPI Shock Rocks Markets: Energy Inflation Lifts Rate Hike Bets ## What Did PPI Show? August US PPI rose 0.4% monthly versus 0.1% in July; annual inflation reached 5.4%, above the 5.3% forecast. * Goods: +1.1% * Energy: +4.2% * **Diesel: +24.1%** * Core PPI: +0.3% monthly, +4.7% annually * Intermediate goods: +11.5% annually Services rose only 0.1%, keeping pressure concentrated in goods and energy. ## Bond Market The 10-year Treasury yield reached 4.83%, the highest since November 2023. The 30-year exceeded 5.25%, while the 2-year reached 4.37%. The 10-year TIPS real yield reached 2.46%, pressuring gold. ## Rate Hike Expectations CME FedWatch now shows a 62-65% hike probability, up from ~35% in early August. Strong NFP reinforced the case; cut odds are near zero. Most Reuters-surveyed economists still expect rates unchanged through year-end. ## Ahead of CPI August CPI is due Friday at 15:30 TRT, expected at 3.4% annually and 0.4% monthly. **Hot:** Higher headline and core could push hike pricing toward 75-80%. **Mixed:** High headline but moderate core could be treated as a temporary energy shock. **Cool:** Moderate headline and core could trigger sharp upside through position unwinding. ## Asset-Class Outlook **Gold:** Down over 100 $ in three sessions; real yields pressure it. **Stocks:** Rising yields, energy costs and hike risk weaken risk appetite. **Crypto:** Bitcoin remains around 79,000 $; rising real yields remain a negative backdrop. **Oil:** Brent above 100 $, WTI around 96 $; Middle East developments remain a major risk. ## Conclusion PPI shows inflation pressure is driven mainly by energy supply. CPI is the final major data point before the September 15-16 FOMC. Markets are positioned for a hike, making a downside inflation surprise the key risk. A cool core reading could trigger sharp position unwinding; a higher core reading could deepen bond selling. $BTC $ETH

# US August CPI Scenarios: Gold, Stocks, Crypto, Bonds and Oil ## Data Importance and Market Setup US August CPI is due September 11 at 15:30 TRT, expected at 3.4% year-on-year and 0.4% month-on-month. Markets are pricing a **rate hike**, not a cut, ahead of the September 15-16 FOMC, with a 55-63% hike probability. US-Iran tensions are pushing oil higher, adding pressure to inflation expectations and risk appetite. ## Scenario 1 — CPI Above Expectations (Hot) **Mechanism:** Hike expectations strengthen as markets price a hawkish Fed plus an oil shock. * **Dollar:** Upward pressure from rates and safe-haven demand * **Gold:** Real yields may pressure it, while geopolitical demand limits declines; likely volatile * **Stocks:** Selling pressure, especially growth/technology, as hike risk, oil costs and margin concerns rise * **Crypto:** Initial downside possible; Bitcoin’s recent tendency to move with gold rather than risk assets is key ## Scenario 2 — CPI In Line **Mechanism:** The priced-in outcome arrives and focus shifts to the FOMC. * **Gold:** Flat to slightly positive * **Stocks:** Limited relief; upside capped by FOMC expectations * **Crypto:** Range-bound ## Scenario 3 — CPI Below Expectations (Cool) **Mechanism:** The least-priced scenario; hike expectations retreat rapidly. * **Stocks:** Strong upside as reduced hike risk revives risk appetite * **Gold:** Lower real yields support it, although profit-taking may limit gains * **Crypto:** Potentially the strongest positive reaction as both risk appetite and lower hike risk provide support * **Dollar:** Weakens ## Overall Assessment Low CPI brings two positives: reduced hike risk and lower inflation concerns. Hot CPI reinforces hike expectations and pressures risk appetite. Oil and Strait of Hormuz risks remain independent variables. The period through the September 15-16 FOMC is likely to remain highly volatile as CPI, geopolitics and Fed commentary converge. $BTC $XRP

# Trezor Users Warned: Fake Security Emails Trezor said a third-party email provider was compromised and attackers used its infrastructure to send fake security alerts. Emails titled **“Critical Security Alert: STM32 Entropy Vulnerability”** were not from Trezor and were phishing attempts. The company disabled the domain and is investigating. ## What Did the Fake Email Claim? The message falsely claimed a **critical hardware vulnerability** in STM32 microcontrollers could weaken recovery-phrase generation and put assets at risk. The goal was apparently to create urgency and direct users to malicious links. Trezor urged users not to click them. ## The Real Risk Is Phishing The incident does not mean Trezor devices were compromised. The attack centered on **third-party email infrastructure**, making phishing and social engineering the main threat. Attackers seek recovery phrases. A compromised phrase can give them control of wallet assets without physical access. ## BitBox Users Also Targeted Casa CEO Nick Neuman said BitBox users received similar messages. Jameson Lopp noted that email providers used by Trezor and BitBox may have been targeted. This could indicate a broader campaign targeting **email and marketing infrastructure used by crypto companies**. ## Trezor Had Also Reported a Data Breach In August, Trezor said a ShipMonk breach exposed data belonging to **80,689 customers**, including names, emails, phone numbers and shipping addresses. Such data can help attackers create phishing attempts. ## The Critical Rule **A recovery phrase should never be entered into a website, email form, or given to another person under any circumstances.** Even official-looking messages may be fraudulent. Requests to re-enter, verify or recover a wallet through a link are major warning signs. ## A New Front in Crypto Security Crypto security risks extend beyond blockchain and hardware. Email services and other third parties are also attack surfaces. $BTC $ETH

$BTC Ahead of Friday’s CPI data, the probability of a **rate hike** at the September 16 meeting is currently around 62%. Today’s PPI data at 15:30 TRT could serve as a preview of tomorrow’s CPI report, and the market could react sharply to today’s figure as well. Markets are now pricing **three Fed rate hikes across 2026–2027**, whereas just last week the expectation was for a total of only one rate hike. Pricing has been extremely aggressive because the environment remains highly uncertain, and this uncertainty is driving elevated volatility across markets.

Does anyone remember the Luna Coin crash between May 8–12, 2022? $65–68 → $30 → $17 → $1 → $0.00005 If this had been an upward move instead of a decline, the magnitude of the move would have been equivalent to a 136 million% increase. The Terra-LUNA collapse wiped out roughly $50–60 billion in market value and triggered a much broader wave of selling across the crypto market. Approximately 4 years, 3 months, and 28 days have passed since May 12, 2022. $LUNC $USTC https://x.com/ForExxKripto/status/2097675317804474829

# Crypto Platforms Under Security Alarm: 3.63 Billion $ Lost in Cyberattacks Despite widespread security audits, crypto platforms remain vulnerable to cyberattacks. According to CoinGecko, **more than 3.63 billion $ was lost through attacks and compromised credentials between January 2025 and July 2026.** Notably, many attacked platforms had previously undergone independent security audits. ## Why Are Security Audits Falling Short? CoinGecko’s August 27 report found that approximately **88% of stolen funds** and **60% of attacked platforms** had undergone independent security audits. Attackers often target vulnerabilities outside standard audit scopes. Passing an audit does not guarantee protection against real-time attacks or complex vulnerabilities. Beyond smart contracts, access permissions, private keys, employee accounts are also major targets. ## Bybit Suffered the Largest Loss **Bybit** is identified as the largest attack during the period. In February 2025, approximately **1.4 billion $** in assets were stolen. Elliptic assessed that the attack was linked to North Korean actors. **KelpDAO**, with a loss of **292 million $**, ranked second, followed by **Drift Protocol**, with a loss of **285 million $**. None of the three platforms had immediately responded to CNBC’s requests for comment. ## Passing an Audit Is Not a Security Guarantee Security audits remain important for DeFi and smart contracts. Recent attacks show a gap between audit scope and real-world attack methods. With billions held in decentralized or semi-centralized systems, relying solely on code audits creates serious risks. **The 3.63 billion $ loss shows that crypto security cannot be built solely around “passing an audit.”** Going forward, platforms will need to focus not only on smart contract vulnerabilities but also on **private key management, access controls, employee accounts, and incident response mechanisms.** $BTC $XRP

# BitConnect (BCC): One of Crypto’s Biggest Ponzi Scandals BitConnect emerged during the 2017 crypto boom by promising high and nearly guaranteed returns. Its BCC token surged to roughly 470 $, attracting thousands of investors and pushing the project’s value into the billions. ## What Was BitConnect? Launched in 2016, BitConnect built a lending platform around BCC. Investors locked tokens for high returns. The project claimed its “Trading Bot” and “Volatility Software” generated profits from market volatility. The lack of verifiable trading activity raised questions about those returns. ## The BCC Explosion BCC traded at only a few dollars early in 2017 before reaching roughly 470 $ by year-end. The surge reinforced confidence in the system. ## How Did BitConnect Collapse? In early 2018, regulatory and investor pressure intensified. BitConnect shut down its lending platform, triggering massive selling pressure. BCC fell from hundreds of dollars to a few dollars within days, causing many investors to lose most of their holdings. ## Fraud Allegations and Legal Action U.S. authorities investigated BitConnect after its collapse. The DOJ and SEC alleged that the project raised billions while promoting misleading returns. Glenn Arcaro, a leading U.S. promoter, pleaded guilty to fraud and was sentenced to prison. Founder Satish Kumbhani also became the subject of legal proceedings. ## Investor Losses Many victims suffered severe losses. Compensation mechanisms were later created for some victims, while authorities seized certain crypto assets linked to BitConnect. Some losses could not be recovered. ## Conclusion BitConnect remains one of crypto’s biggest investment scandals. BCC reached roughly 470 $ before the platform’s shutdown caused it to lose almost all its value. **Extremely high, regular and nearly risk-free return promises, especially in crypto, should be viewed as a warning sign of serious risk rather than an investment opportunity.** $BTC

## Bitcoin and Liquidity: How Will the Fed’s Next Move Affect Crypto? Bitcoin is entering a critical phase as investors focus increasingly on Fed policy and global liquidity. The key question: **Will liquidity expand or tighten?** ## The Fed’s Critical Decision The Fed will announce its next rate decision at the September 15–16 FOMC meeting. Stronger August employment increased the possibility of tighter policy, but inflation remains decisive. ## Why Liquidity Matters Institutional participation has made Bitcoin more sensitive to liquidity. Low rates and abundant liquidity support risk-taking and Bitcoin. Higher rates make bonds and cash more attractive and can reduce risk capital. ## Hawkish vs. Dovish Fed A restrictive Fed could strengthen the dollar, raise Treasury yields and weaken risk appetite. High leverage could amplify selling through liquidations. Falling inflation and weaker activity could revive rate-cut expectations, while lower yields, a weaker dollar and easier financial conditions could support Bitcoin. **No rate hike does not mean liquidity is expanding.** ## The Fed Balance Sheet Matters The Fed’s balance sheet, reserves and liquidity also matter. Stable rates while the balance sheet shrinks do not necessarily mean liquidity is expanding. ## Three Scenarios **Hawkish:** Higher rates or prolonged restrictive policy could pressure Bitcoin. **Neutral:** Rates remain unchanged; macro data and institutional flows determine direction. **Dovish:** Falling inflation and stronger cut expectations could ease financial conditions and revive risk appetite. ## Bitcoin’s Real Test Is Liquidity ETFs, institutional investors and traditional-finance integration have made Bitcoin part of the global liquidity cycle. **A sustainable Bitcoin rally may depend not merely on the Fed avoiding a hike, but on global liquidity beginning to expand again.** **“Will global liquidity support Bitcoin’s next major move?”** $BTC $XRP

**September 7–11, 2026 | Weekly Risk Calendar (GMT+3)** 🎯 **Main Theme of the Week** After Jackson Hole and August NFP,markets are seeking a new reference point. August ADP added 38K, below the 47K forecast and July’s revised 46K. ISM Manufacturing fell to 54.6 but stayed in expansion,while Services rose to 55.4. The week centers on U.S. inflation data and the ECB decision. U.S. and Canadian markets are closed Monday for Labor Day,compressing the week into four sessions. 📅 **Economic Calendar** **Monday – September 7** 🇺🇸🇨🇦 **U.S. and Canadian markets closed** *(Labor Day)* Low trading volume and thin liquidity are expected;Asian and European sessions will take the lead. **Thursday – September 10** 🇺🇸 **15:30 GMT+3 — PPI, August 2026** Producer prices will provide an early signal on pipeline inflation. 🇪🇺 **Afternoon — ECB Rate Decision + President Lagarde Press Conference** Germany’s August inflation data is also due. 🇺🇸 **17:00 GMT+3 — Existing Home Sales, August 2026** **Friday – September 11** 🇺🇸 **15:30 GMT+3 — CPI, August 2026** The week’s most critical data point before the September 16 FOMC. Headline inflation is expected to accelerate from July’s 3.4%; core CPI’s move from 2.5% will be key. 🇺🇸 **17:00 GMT+3 — Michigan Consumer Sentiment Preliminary,September 2026** --- ⚡ **Crypto & Market Risks** **PPI + ECB on Thursday:** A hot PPI could lift Friday’s CPI expectations and push markets into a cautious stance ahead of the FOMC. ECB tone could affect DXY through EUR/USD and indirectly impact crypto. **CPI (Friday 15:30):** Hot reading → hike expectations return,dollar strengthens and crypto faces leverage pressure. Soft reading → hold expectations strengthen and risk-on may continue into the FOMC. CPI is only five days before the FOMC,leaving a narrow window for repositioning. **Short week + thin liquidity:** Monday’s holiday compresses the week into four sessions; the PPI-ECB-CPI sequence raises intraday volatility risk. $BTC

## Bond Yields at Multi-Decade Highs: The Market’s Foundation Is Changing **Government bond yields at multi-decade highs are changing the pricing backdrop for stocks, gold and crypto.** ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ### Where We Stand — September 4 Close **U.S.:** 10-year Treasury yield closed at 4.78%, after reaching 4.812%, its highest since November 2023. **UK:** 10-year gilt closed at 5.13%, reaching 5.29%, its highest since August 2007. **Europe & Japan:** Germany’s 10-year reached 3.39%; Japan’s JGB crossed 3% for the first time since 1996. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ### Why Yields Are Rising **Energy inflation is back.** U.S.–Iran tensions and Hormuz disruption pushed Brent to 96.28 $ and WTI to 91.48 $, raising inflation. **Fiscal pressure is worsening.** U.S. debt exceeded 40 trillion $, with the 2026 deficit projected at 1.9 trillion $. **Fed expectations shifted.** August NFP hit 162K versus 55K expected, strengthening the September hike case. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ### Impact on Asset Classes **Equities.** Higher yields pressure growth stocks. Friday: S&P 500 -0.38%, Dow -0.51%, Nasdaq -0.29%. **Gold.** Gold fell to 4,432 $, about 21% below its record, as higher real yields increased holding costs. **Crypto.** Bitcoin is around 79,900 $. It rose above 81,000 $ when yields eased, then fell below 80,000 $ after stronger jobs data. Support: 75,000–76,500 $. Resistance: 81,000–86,000 $. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ### What Is the Real Risk? The danger is not the **level** of yields, but the **reason** behind the rise. Fiscal distrust and inflation are more damaging. Rising yields increase interest costs and force more issuance. Inflation shocks can push bonds and equities down together; crypto faces the same liquidity risk. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ### What to Watch This Week Wednesday: 10-year Treasury auction. Thursday: PPI and jobless claims. Friday: CPI, expected at 0.4% headline and 0.2% monthly growth. Japan’s bond auctions, Hormuz and oil prices remain drivers. $BTC

# Nonfarm Payrolls Triple Expectations: Rate Hike Returns August NFP showed the opposite of market expectations. Employment rose 162K versus 55K expected, while July’s 23K decline was revised into positive territory. Unemployment held at 4.1%. Average hourly earnings rose 0.3% MoM and 3.1% YoY, in line with expectations. Jobless claims were 206K. ## The Reaction Function Has Reversed In 2024–2025, weak employment meant rate-cut expectations and stronger risk appetite. In September 2026, the equation is reversed: with a hike on the table, strong data is hawkish and weak data dovish. Warsh’s hawkish stance pushed September hike pricing to 63%, while Waller’s comments pulled it toward 50%. Today’s data raised 25-bp hike odds for Sept. 16 from 52% to 59–60%. ## Gold Gold fell more than 2% to ~4,470 $, while silver lost more than 3%. Higher real yields increase the cost of holding non-yielding assets.

Institutional demand remains strong: Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw 731M $ of inflows on Sept. 3, their strongest daily inflow since January. Total net ETF assets exceeded 103B $. 80,000 $ is the key level. A close above it could signal absorption; below it, 76,000–77,000 $ could come into focus. ETH and major altcoins fell more sharply than BTC. ## The Real Test: September 11 CPI August CPI is due Sept. 11, five days before the Sept. 15–16 FOMC meeting. Cleveland Fed’s nowcast sees headline inflation at 3.38%, while core inflation remains the key risk. ## What to Watch Focus has shifted from growth to inflation. Strong employment can reinforce restrictive Fed policy. The key variables are the 2Y yield above 4.40%, the dollar and August core CPI. A ~60% hike probability does not mean a hike is certain, but the risk has shifted toward renewed tightening.
