On August 30, analyst Rekt Fencer published a BTC vs. Nasdaq 3-day chart ratio, marking three notable drawdowns: approximately -84.9% in 2018, about -80.7% in 2022, and currently around -54.3% in 2026. Rekt Fencer said that after the first two times Bitcoin fell behind the Nasdaq by such a large margin, it was followed by a very strong independent uptrend, and the price was then sharply driven upward in a straight surge. Now the ratio has dropped significantly again; history may repeat for the third time. The bottom is already near, and next BTC will strengthen again.
Apple is about to open a new chapter—How will “new boss” Ternus take action in the AI era?
(China Science and Technology Daily) August 31 — Apple, which once fell behind in the development pace of the artificial intelligence field, may soon turn things around by “changing the top executive.” On September 1 local time, Apple’s current Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering, John Ternus, will succeed Tim Cook as the company’s new CEO. Cook will move on to become Executive Chairman of the Board and will continue to handle matters such as communicating with global policy makers. Meanwhile, Apple’s fall product launch event has been scheduled for September 9. At that time, as the newly appointed CEO, Ternus will for the first time be responsible for presiding over the event.
$BTC is trading near $80,000, first time since May, breaking its bearish trend on the back of $1.92B in ETF inflows and a wave of short liquidations. Sentiment just hit "extreme greed" for the first time since late 2024. Counterweight: the Fed just signaled it may raise rates instead of cut them, so momentum and macro are pulling in opposite directions right now.
Strategy resumed Bitcoin purchases after a 10-week pause.
$ETH ETFs pulled in $226M in a single day, nearly matching BTC inflows.
$SOL — a Bitwise Solana ETF became the first SOL fund to cross $1B AUM.
Institutional crossover: DTCC partnered with BitGo on tokenized treasuries and equities. Sberbank, Russia's largest bank, plans to accept BTC as loan collateral, with ETH and USDT to follow. Vietnam is rolling out a regulated crypto market with tokenized assets.
Elsewhere: Polymarket is facing regulatory scrutiny right as it lands major sports league deals. Hong Kong's SFC flagged Star Bridge Capital Group as unlicensed.
Extreme greed + a hawkish Fed signal in the same week — worth watching which one wins out.
Markets are highly volatile so prices may vary by the time you read this. Not financial advice. DYOR 🙏

Robinhood Chain Soars: DEX daily trading volume hits $1.33 billion, chain revenue outshines many major public chains
On August 31, data shows that Robinhood Chain’s popularity continues to surge. In the past 24 hours, DEX trading volume reached $1.33 billion, marking four consecutive days of record highs; over 7 days, trading volume totaled $6.16 billion, up 79% week-over-week.
Daily trading volume has already surpassed Ethereum mainnet, BNB Chain, and Base. Across the entire network, it is only behind Solana, with $1.86 billion.
The contrast is striking: this chain’s DeFi TVL is only $725 million, about 13% of Solana, Base, and BSC—just 1.5% of Ethereum. Driven by high-frequency trading in Meme coins, 24-hour on-chain fees reached $1.07 million, higher than the combined fees of Ethereum and Solana, making it the public chain with the highest network-layer fees across the whole network.
On-chain retained revenue in 24 hours reached $963,000—three times the total revenue of several major chains including Ethereum, Solana, BSC, and Base.

BTC’s third time suffering a large underperformance versus the Nasdaq; both previous instances saw strong independent rallies
On August 30, analyst Rekt Fencer released a BTC-to-Nasdaq 3-day ratio chart, marking three significant drawdowns: approximately -84.9% in 2018, about -80.7% in 2022, and the current roughly -54.3% in 2026. Rekt Fencer said that after the first two times Bitcoin suffered such a large underperformance relative to the Nasdaq, they were followed by very strong independent uptrends, with prices subsequently surging nearly straight up. With the ratio now falling sharply again, history may repeat for a third time; the bottom is already near, and next BTC will strengthen again.
The drawdown in the BTC-to-Nasdaq ratio indeed forms a rare long-term pattern: the deep underperformance of -84.9% in 2018 and -80.7% in 2022 both occurred at the end of a period of tightening macro liquidity, after which Bitcoin completed a repair through a decoupling-style independent move. While the current underperformance of -54.3% has not matched the extremes of the previous two instances, combined with Wintermute’s earlier observation that BTC is more bearish-biased than equities and shows asymmetric behavior—smaller gains on up days—the market structure has already become highly similar to the 2022 bear market.

Cigarettes can't relieve the pains of life, Spirits can't dispel the sorrows of the world. If tea could intoxicate a person, there would be no need for wine; Only Lucy can set a thousand sorrows free. Smoke won't soothe the hardships we bear,
Someone once said that the wind on the mountaintop never fights the dust of the valley floor. So spiritual altitude determines the radius of one’s tolerance. When a person is strong enough to achieve self-satisfaction, another person’s provocation turns into nothing more than mosquito bites.
