WALL STREET IS WALKING INTO A VERY BUSY WEEK.

Warsh has just raised expectations for a September rate hike from about 40% to 62.6%, driving the 2Y Treasury yield higher sharply and putting pressure on risk assets.

But the market is splitting quite clearly:

• Gold -3%, Silver -4% as real yields rise
• Nvidia -4.57%, AMD -2.3%, ARM down more than -6%
• Amazon nearly +4%, Microsoft +1.68%, Google +1.74%, Meta up more than +1%
• Elastic +19% as the AI story shifts from “burning money to buy GPUs” to “AI starts making money”

In simple terms: AI hardware is being sold off, while cloud and software are being viewed as “AI landlords.” Barclays estimates that for every $100 of revenue from AI model companies, about $35–45 flows into AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud—of which cloud providers can retain roughly $10–20 in operating profit.

This week also has a stack of catalysts:

Sep 1: Apple changes CEO, NIO earnings, and a surge in component price targets

Sep 2: Dell, Credo, MongoDB, Palo Alto earnings + EIA oil inventories

Sep 3: Broadcom earnings, the Fed Beige Book, Waller speech, Tesla Cybercab

Sep 4: US Nonfarm Payrolls — the biggest catalyst of the week

Sep 6: OPEC+ meeting

And while the Fed remains hawkish, oil gets support from US-Iran tensions around the Strait of Hormuz.

I think this week won’t lack volatility. The question is: will it be the Fed, oil, or AI earnings that drives the market?

Are you leaning risk-on or risk-off for this week?

Bitcoin’s next move may depend on ETF demand.

BTC is entering September with a tougher problem: the Fed is increasingly likely to raise interest rates, while the August rally has depended quite heavily on spot ETF inflows.

According to Bitfinex, BTC broke above $81,000 before falling to $76,857 after Kevin Warsh’s hawkish comments. The $77,100 area is currently considered an important short-term support zone.

Notably, institutional inflows have not disappeared:
• Spot BTC ETFs attracted about $924.5M in week 24–28/8
• Total flows from 17–27/8 reached about $3.04B
• BTC holdings in ETFs increased by about 59,100 BTC since the end of June
• But on 28/8, ETFs recorded a $201.9M outflow, ending a streak of nine consecutive days of inflows.

Meanwhile, the probability of the Fed raising rates by 25 bps in September has risen to around 57%.

So, September will be a fairly clear test:

ETF demand vs. Fed tightening.

If ETFs continue to pull in capital even as markets price in higher interest rates, BTC could prove that spot buying pressure is strong enough to absorb macro pressure.

But if ETF flows keep reversing, $77.1K will be a level that needs to be watched very closely.

Do you think BTC will hold $77K and rebound, or will the Fed sap the momentum of the August uptrend?

Samsung could post a record quarterly operating profit.

Samsung Electronics is forecast to reach ₩206.64T (~$148B) in Q3 revenue, with operating profit of ₩116.38T (~$83B)—for the first time possibly exceeding the ₩100T (~$71.7B) mark.

The key driver is HBM and DRAM for AI, as average export DRAM prices rose by up to 36.6% from May to July.

Meanwhile, SK Hynix is forecast to achieve ₩101.76T (~$73B) in revenue and ₩79.16T (~$56.7B) in operating profit.

The AI boom is turning the memory industry into:
“You need more GPUs?”
“Cool. First, you need our RAM.” 💀

Samsung + SK Hynix are directly benefiting from the AI infrastructure rush. Could memory become one of the biggest bottlenecks of the AI boom? 👀

JPMorgan is bringing crypto deeper into consumer banking.

JPMorgan Chase is expanding its dedicated crypto assets & blockchain team within Chase, serving both individual consumers and small businesses.

Previously, most of JPMorgan’s blockchain activity focused on corporate clients and institutions.

This expansion is notable because the new team will be responsible for:
• Building a digital asset strategy
• Collaborating with crypto companies
• Developing and launching new products
• Potentially developing in-house, partnering, or using M&A to commercialize

In other words, JPMorgan is not just researching blockchain anymore.

They’re building the team to put crypto in front of retail users.

I think this is an important signal: when one of the largest banks in the world starts building an entire crypto setup for the retail segment, the adoption story is shifting from “institutional experiment” → “consumer product.”

What crypto product do you think JPMorgan will bring to Chase customers first?

🚨 JUST IN: Float Protocol was just flash-loaned for about $28K.

Float Protocol vừa bị tấn công thông qua flash loan, thiệt hại khoảng $28K (~10.71 ETH).

The attacker manipulated the spot price on Uniswap V3, causing the LP valuation in Hypervisor to be inaccurate.

The root issue is that key functions lack TWAP/oracle validation and slippage protection.

Attacker: “Can I borrow some money?”
DeFi: “Sure.”
Attacker: “Thanks, I’ll manipulate the price real quick.” 💀

$28K isn’t a major hack, but this is a pretty clear example of how missing price validation can turn a flash loan into a weapon.

Do you think DeFi should prioritize TWAP/oracle protection, or accept the risk to maintain UX and capital efficiency?

🚨 JUST IN: Metaplanet has just moved 1,600 BTC.

Metaplanet just transferred 1,600 $BTC (~$124.36M) to 2 newly created wallets.

No selling. No buying.

It’s just $124M BTC taking a trip to a new address. 💀
Metaplanet: “Nothing to see here.”

Crypto Twitter: “BRO WHERE ARE YOU TAKING THE BTC?” 👀

Guys, is this only a custodian wallet transfer—or is there something bigger happening behind the scenes?

🚨 JUST IN: Binance is bringing stock dividends on-chain.

Binance will distribute dividends to holders of QCOMB, PYPLB and GOOGLB via the bStocks system.

Dividends will be paid in the underlying shares or fractional shares after deducting withholding tax, service fees, and related costs.

During the distribution period, some services such as deposits, withdrawals, Swap, and 1:1 conversions of these codes will be temporarily paused.

Binance:
“Like stocks?”
“Here, have some dividends.” 💀

Crypto is increasingly pulling TradFi onto the blockchain.
Will tokenized stocks truly become a major piece of the crypto market? 👀

🚨 JUST IN: A whale just went $109M long on ETH.

Two days ago, this whale opened a long position of 32,000 ETH at an average price of $2,487, worth about $80M.

This morning, it continued buying another 13,000 ETH, bringing its position to:

• 45,000 ETH
• Position value: ~$109M
• Average entry price: $2,486
• Unrealized loss: ~$3.35M
• Liquidation price: $2,251

ETH dips slightly, and the whale instantly has a $3.35M “paper loss.” 💀

Whale: “I believe in ETH.”
ETH: “Let me test that belief.” 😭

If ETH keeps dropping, this $109M position will become the market’s main focus.

Stablecoins are coming for SWIFT.

SWIFT currently handles about $5T in cross-border transactions per day, connecting around 11,500 institutions across nearly 200 countries and territories.

But traditional systems still have weaknesses:
• Transaction costs: about 1–4%
• Settlement time: 1–5 business days

Meanwhile, stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and blockchains are directly competing on speed + cost.

SWIFT also has to change. The network has just rolled out a blockchain-based ledger, and HSBC and Standard Chartered have carried out the first realtime transactions, cutting settlement time down to just a few seconds.

And the market scale could be even bigger:

BNY: stablecoin + tokenized cash could reach $3.7T by 2030.
Citigroup: tokenized securities could reach $5.5T in the same period.

This is no longer a crypto-versus-banking story about replacing banks.

The banks are already building the rails.

I think the real competition won’t be SWIFT vs crypto, but rather which payments system can settle the fastest with the lowest cost.

Do you think stablecoins could become the main cross-border payments infrastructure in the next 5–10 years?

China’s tech stocks are posting some serious numbers.

In the first half of 2026, 2,318 companies on the Shanghai market reported:

• Revenue: ¥26.22T (~$3.66T), up 6.3%
• Net profit: ¥2.82T (~$394B), up 17.6%
• STAR Market: revenue ¥1.01T (~$141B), up 38.6%

• STAR Market net profit: ¥144.9B (~$20.2B), up as much as 437.6%

As for dividends, 427 companies announced interim dividends with a total value of about ¥633B (~$88.5B).

STAR Market:
“AI boom?”
“Nah bro, we’re already printing.”

The question is: is this just a rebound in profits, or the start of a new growth cycle for China’s tech sector? 👀

AI is minting billionaires faster than almost anything else.

According to a report by Altrata cited by Fortune, the number of global billionaires in 2025 reached a record high of 3,795 people, with total wealth of $15.1T, up 12.8% year over year.

Notably, AI is one of the biggest drivers behind this increase in wealth. As technology companies expand their investments and operations in AI, the assets of many founders and major shareholders are also rising sharply.

There are currently 29 billionaires with wealth exceeding $50B, including Larry Page, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos.

Another figure is pretty wild too:

The $15.1T in billionaire wealth is equivalent to nearly 1/4 of the total market capitalization of stocks in the S&P 500.

AI isn’t just changing the tech industry.

It’s changing who owns the wealth.

I think the bigger question is: if AI continues to generate productivity and profits at this scale, how far will the wealth gap widen?

Do you think AI will create more billionaires, or will it eventually distribute value more widely?

🚨 JUST IN: Cronos just hit the emergency stop button.

Cronos has temporarily halted the blockchain after the attacker withdrew funds from Tectonic, the largest lending protocol on the network.

Damage is estimated at about $75M:
• ~$6M was transferred to Ethereum
• ~$60M is still stuck on Cronos
• Cronos has stopped block production to address the incident

Tectonic currently holds about $121.6M, equivalent to ~46% of all DeFi on Cronos.

Cronos: “Pause the chain.”
Attacker: “Wait… WHAT?” 💀

Now the biggest question is: how will the $60M that’s stuck be handled—rollback, blacklist the attacker’s address, or restart the chain?

Zcash just made private transactions 14x faster on mobile.

Zakura, the development team for the Zcash ecosystem client, has just released Zakura Common — a new cryptographic library and protocol designed to significantly boost Zcash performance.

According to official benchmarks:

• Proof generation on mobile: >14x
• Proof generation on desktop: 5x
• Sinsemilla hashing: 21x
• Experimental decoding: 1.5x
• zk-SNARK verification: 4–8x

Most notably is the wallet experience: in some cases, transaction creation time can drop from over 3 seconds to under 200ms.

Zakura Common has been open-sourced under the MIT/Apache 2.0 license and does not require a network upgrade. Zakura 1.3.0 will move to this new technology platform.

I think this is a fairly important upgrade for Zcash, because privacy doesn’t just need to be strong in cryptography—it also needs to be fast enough for users to actually want to use it.

14x faster proofs on mobile. Privacy UX just got a serious upgrade.

Do you think improving speed like this is enough to help ZEC compete more strongly in the privacy space?

🚨Uniswap is quietly burning $UNI .

Over the past 10 days, Uniswap has burned more than $300K worth of $UNI .

According to Messari, the total amount of UNI burned is currently equivalent to about $160M.

$UNI +19.26% while the burn story gains attention. 👀

Uniswap: “We’re burning tokens.”
Market: “Wait… you’re actually doing it?” 💀

Will this burn mechanism become a more notable factor in $UNI tokenomics in the long run?

The sandwich bot made $295M. Then someone figured out how to sandwich the sandwicher.

JaredfromSubway.eth, a bot specializing in executing sandwich attacks on Ethereum, has earned a total of about 117,007 ETH, equivalent to nearly $295M at current prices since March 2023.

But by June 2026, this very bot became the victim.
An attacker deployed 66 fake smart contracts, exploiting the bot’s automated transaction logic to steal at least $7.5M in ETH and stablecoins.

The funds were then sent into Tornado Cash and have not yet been recovered.

In essence, a sandwich bot makes money by spotting large transactions in the mempool, buying first → waiting for the transaction to push the price → selling immediately afterward.

But this time, someone found a way to turn that exact logic into a trap.

Even more interesting is that sandwich attack activity is also dropping sharply: monthly revenue was around $10M in the late 2024 period, falling to about $2.5M in October 2025.

Real MEV is a game where the hunter can become the prey.

Do you think this is one of Ethereum’s most notable “reverse exploits”?

🚨 JUST IN: Trump Coins says it never authorized $GOLD.

realtrumpcoins has denied launching, promoting, or authorizing any digital token, calling the claims “completely false.” The team says it is working with law enforcement to investigate.

The $GOLD story is even more noteworthy: after an account allegedly related to it posted the contract, the market cap once jumped to $66M, then the tweet was deleted and the token crashed from $55M to about ~$1M in roughly 30 seconds. 💀

Finally, those behind it are said to have sold all of the tokens and made around 9,784.6 SOL (~$1.01M).

A bull run isn’t necessarily the scariest part. A fake official account is. 😭

Do you think this kind of scam will show up even more as the market heats up?

🚨 JUST IN: A whale just dropped $1.07M on $牛來.

Theo Lookonchain, a wallet spent 1,540 $BNB (~$1.07M) to buy 12.26M $牛來 just about 3 hours ago.

Not buying the dip anymore.

Bro bought the whole dip. 💀

Now the question is: is smart money coming in, or is exit liquidity being prepared? 👀

DYOR. Not investment advice.

A $938K bet just went against the Fed.

A trader on Polymarket has just placed a bet of nearly $938K that the Fed will raise interest rates by 25 bps at the September meeting.

This account previously earned more than $270K in less than a week; it now holds 2.02 million shares at an average price of 39.3¢.

More notably, this wallet is also holding about $3.06M betting that the Fed will not cut 25 bps, with an average entry price of 98.2¢.

So instead of just betting on “cut or hold,” this trader is strongly leaning toward the scenario:

No rate cut. Maybe even a hike.

The next FOMC meeting will be held on 15–16/9.

What I find interesting is this: this isn’t some anonymous trader who just jumped into the market. Someone who has just made over $270K is putting nearly $1M on a scenario that much of the market may not yet be pricing in.

Conviction or a degen bet?

Do you think the Fed will cut, hold, or hike in September?

🚨 JUST IN: Solana is upgrading everything except the price. 💀

Transaction V1 launches 9/9.
Lower rental fees begin next week.
Slot time continues to be shortened.
Alpenglow is expected to go live on mainnet in October.
And in November, there’s also Scale or Die.

The Solana team is like:

“The network is already fast… but what if it’s even faster?” 😭

And for $SOL holders:

“Sure, the tech upgrade is great… but when will the price be upgraded?” 💀

Tech is scaling. Now let’s see if the ecosystem can scale too.

🚨 The U.S. could be taking control of Venezuela’s oil pipeline.

President Donald Trump said that a new oil deal could bring the U.S. 55% of output from production projects in Venezuela.

According to reports, the project will focus on 17 strategic fields in the Orinoco Belt and Lake Maracaibo, with proposed production rights of up to 100 years.

Notably, the plan could also attract nearly $100B in private investment capital, while Venezuela expects to collect up to $209B in tax revenue.

But there’s one major issue: the entire deal has not yet been announced, the name of the private operator has not been disclosed, and the legal basis still raises many questions.

If this massive flow of capital is actually deployed, the impact won’t just be limited to Venezuela.

Oil → inflation → liquidity → risk assets.

I’ll keep an eye on whether this agreement truly becomes a boost to global oil supply, or whether it’s just a plan on paper.

Do you think the U.S. is trying to control Venezuela’s oil supply, or is this simply a gigantic investment deal?
