Thailand SEC Plans to Allow Retail Investors, via Licensed Firms, to Invest in Overseas Digital Asset DerivativesThe Thailand Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is launching a public consultation on investment rules for overseas digital asset derivatives, and proposes to allow locally licensed derivatives firms to provide overseas digital asset futures and other derivative services that meet specified conditions to retail investors, high-net-worth investors, and ultra-high-net-worth investors.
Under the proposal, the relevant services must be provided by firms that have obtained derivatives agent or trading dealer licenses, and this does not mean that Thai retail investors can directly use all overseas crypto exchange platforms. The underlying digital assets, contract tenors, leverage, and delivery or settlement methods of eligible products must be consistent with the specifications of digital asset derivatives in the Thai market. For contracts with fixed expiration dates, the tenor should not generally be shorter than one month.

Kalshi Issues Its First Lifetime Ban! Former Representative Santos Manipulated Prediction Outcomes and Was Fined More Than $71,000U.S. prediction market platform Kalshi announced that it permanently banned former Representative George Santos from using the platform directly or indirectly, and imposed a $71,356 fine on him. The sanction took effect on August 28, and it is also the first lifetime trading ban issued since Kalshi was founded.
The event involves Kalshi’s market contract for “Who will attend the State of the Union address,” including a market on whether Santos will attend the February 24, 2026 address. Because Santos himself could directly determine or influence the outcome, under Kalshi rules he originally was not allowed to participate in related trading.

Japan’s Financial Services Agency plans to ease tax reporting for trust-type stablecoins, without involving holder tax exemptionsOn August 31, the Japan Financial Services Agency (FSA) announced its requests for tax system revisions for the fiscal year 2027, proposing exemptions from certain statutory tax reporting requirements for “specified beneficial interests,” i.e., trust-type stablecoins. According to official documents, the FSA hopes that in cases such as changes of beneficiaries, the trustees of the relevant trusts will no longer be required to submit documents such as (Beneficial Interest Beneficiary Distinctive Report) and (Trust Calculation Statement).
Under the current system, when a trust is established, when beneficiaries are changed, when the trust is terminated, or when the content of rights is altered, the trustee must submit documents under the (Inheritance Tax Act) that contain the beneficiaries’ names and the value of the trust property. Trust companies and banks that also conduct trust business must also submit calculation statements under the (Income Tax Act) that record the beneficiaries, trust income, and expenses. Data from Japan’s National Tax Agency shows that the statutory submitters of both forms are the trust trustees.

Donald Trump’s Son Boosts His Investment! Polymarket Plans to Raise $1 Billion, Valuation Could Reach $21 BillionAccording to reports, prediction market platform Polymarket is in the process of raising a new round of capital totaling $1 billion. After the deal closes, the post-investment valuation is expected to reach $21 billion.
As reported by The Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump Jr., a partner at 1789 Capital, plans to invest about $300 million in Polymarket. The investment is part of a fundraising round of roughly $1 billion. After the transaction is completed, it could bring Polymarket’s valuation to about $21 billion. Polymarket has not yet commented on the matter, and the deal has not officially closed yet.
This round of fundraising reflects investors quickly raising their valuations for prediction market platforms. Polymarket only completed a $1 billion funding round at a valuation of about $15 billion in April this year, with $600 million coming from Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange. If the latest deal is finalized at a $21 billion valuation, it would mean the company’s valuation increases by about 40% in roughly five months, bringing it closer to the $22 billion valuation of competitor Kalshi from an earlier funding round.

Bloomberg News: Hyperliquid Plans to Enter the U.S. in Compliance Through Kraken’s Parent CompanyThe decentralized perpetual contract trading platform Hyperliquid is seeking to enter the U.S. market in a regulated manner.
Citing a report by Bloomberg, people familiar with the matter say that Hyperliquid Labs has entered into in-depth discussions with Kraken’s parent company, Payward, with plans to use Bitnomial—Payward’s U.S. digital asset derivatives platform—to offer eligible U.S. traders certain cryptocurrency perpetual futures related to the Hyperliquid market.
According to the architecture currently under discussion, U.S. users will not directly connect to Hyperliquid’s native decentralized trading platform.

At this stage, it has not been announced which assets are involved, the number of contracts, the business terms, or the official launch timeline.

Bitcoin rises 25% in August, posting its best monthly performance since November 2024Bitcoin (BTC) rebounded from around $63,000 in August, returning to the $78,000 to $79,000 area by month-end. It rose about 24% to 25% in the month, marking the best monthly performance since the roughly 37% surge in November 2024. During the period, the price briefly broke above $81,000 and returned to levels not seen since mid-May.

Related content: Has Bitcoin entered the “early upswing” stage? CryptoQuant: Only a breakout above $83,000 is the “real bull market”
This round of rallies was driven jointly by three forces: macro policy, regulatory expectations, and market structure. On August 19, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced that, effective September 9, it would raise the single-transaction limit for liquidity repurchases of 10- to 30-year Treasury notes from at least $2 billion to $4 billion. Although the relevant actions pertain to liquidity management in the bond market and are not quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve, the market still interpreted them as an official attempt to ease pressure on long-end yields. After the U.S. dollar weakened, funds from “currency depreciation trades” also flowed into gold and Bitcoin.

Data has continued to soar for nearly two months—what growth flywheel powers the Robinhood Chain?Author: Nancy, PANews
Over the weekend, less than two months after launch, the Robinhood Chain once again saw a peak in on-chain activity. Multiple core metrics, including trading volume and active users, sequentially set new records, while protocol revenue also grew significantly and surpassed many L2s that had started earlier.
For a network still in its early stage, such a growth rate and persistence are not common. Behind the brief, rapid surge of massive traffic on the Robinhood Chain, capital, users, and assets are pouring into the same chain through different entry points.

Has market panic gone too far? The odds of a September rate hike are only 58%; Bitcoin and gold bulls aren’t finished yetOn Monday, U.S. stock markets opened to a cloud of gloom hanging over global financial markets. In addition to renewed escalation in geopolitical tensions, hawkish remarks by Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Kevin Warsh at the Jackson Hole annual meeting of global central banks have further fueled market anxiety about a potential restart of rate hikes in September.
However, if you take a closer look at the actual pricing of CME Fed funds futures, the anxiety on social media is clearly “scaring itself.” For Bitcoin and gold—both of which just saw gains of 23% and 10% in August—bulls still have room to keep pushing higher.

Sneaking a Peek at the President’s Speech Notes to Place Bets! A Former White House Teleprompter Operator Accused of “Insider Trading” in a Prediction Market, Ordered to Repay $172,000Perez (Gabriel Perez), who previously served as a teleprompter operator for U.S. President Donald Trump, is accused of using his position to gain advance access to the president’s speech script to bet on Trump’s speech content in the prediction market. Now that the matter has come to light, the implicated employee has agreed to repay $172,000 in illegal proceeds and pay a $65,000 civil penalty to reach a settlement.
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) said that Gabriel Perez allegedly abused confidential government information by heavily betting on contracts in the “presidential speech prediction market” related to the event. The way these contracts work is that the payout odds and bonuses are determined based on whether specific words or terms are mentioned in political figures’ speeches.

Trump’s coin “cash-grab” nets $1.4 billion in easy profits! Investigation report: investors bleed $4.7 billionCryptocurrency projects trading under the name of U.S. President Donald Trump have now become investors’ ultimate money grinder. According to an investigative report by the U.S. nonprofit watchdog organization Public Citizen, investors in crypto projects related to Trump are currently facing at least $4.7 billion in losses, while Trump himself, in 2025, was able to easily pocket more than $1.4 billion thanks to his activities in the crypto world.
A report by Public Citizen指出 that most of the $4.7 billion is categorized as “unrealized losses” (i.e., paper losses—assets have sharply declined in value, but they have not yet been sold off and written off); however, it also includes “realized losses” (actual losses) tracked through on-chain transaction data.

Public Chain Cronos Shuts Down in Emergency to Stop the BleedCronos, a public chain nurtured by the cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com, fully suspended blockchain operations on Sunday. The main reason was that Tectonic, the largest lending protocol in the ecosystem, suffered a hacker attack, with estimated losses of about $75 million. To prevent funds from continuing to leak out, the official had no choice but to take extreme measures to stop the bleeding.
Cronos is a blockchain launched by Crypto.com in 2021. It is mainly used to process on-chain transactions for its own products, significantly reducing transaction fee costs. Currently, the Cronos network primarily runs a small number of lending and trading application programs (DApps). Among them, Tectonic—the one that was attacked this time—is the largest by funding volume.

Is Strategy buying Bitcoin again after 2 months? Michael Saylor says: We’re backAs the Bitcoin price neared $79,000, Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy (Strategy), posted on the social platform X: “We’re Back.” The market generally interprets this line as a hint that Strategy, after a two-month lull, is finally buying Bitcoin again.

— Michael Saylor (@saylor) August 30, 2026
If “We’re Back” indeed signals Strategy restarting its Bitcoin purchase plan, it would be the company’s first increase in its Bitcoin holdings since June 22.
In recent months, Strategy’s financial operations have shown a clear shift. Starting in May this year, the company—known for “hoarding coins”—had gradually sold some Bitcoin to strengthen its balance sheet and dollar liquidity. More recently, it switched to selling common stock MSTR to raise funds, thereby replenishing its dollar reserves; at the same time, the company also began using funds to repurchase its preferred shares STRC.

Once seen as a global benchmark for bitcoin ($BTC) payment experiments, El Salvador’s “Bitcoin Beach” is now facing the challenge of declining everyday usage. Bitcoin Core developer Jon Atack recently shared his firsthand spending experience in El Zonte, noting that at a local restaurant, hardly anyone used bitcoin to pay during the entire month of August.

Buyout of Tokens, Kickstarting Repurchases: How Ethena’s four-pronged attack plays its “value return” card for ENA?By Jae, PANews
On the evening of August 27, the Ethena Foundation unveiled a package of proposals to reform the ecosystem and the token economics model, igniting market sentiment: ENA surged more than 20% at its intraday peak, rebounded nearly 60% over the week, and continued the strong uptrend seen over the past month.
The four adjustments proposed by the Ethena Foundation are closely interlinked and point to the same goal: to end the lingering sell-pressure shadow brought by VC monthly unlocks over the past one to two years, and to more effectively channel the economic value actually generated by the protocol to ENA holders.
Ethena unleashes four moves to reshape its token economics model

🚨 SHOCKING: $ARB JUST SURGED 30%... AND ROBINHOOD CHAIN MAY BE THE CATALYST!
“Where transactions turn into revenue,
The market starts rewriting the value of a token.”
That is exactly why Arbitrum ($ARB ) is suddenly back in the spotlight.
On September 1, 2026, ARB jumped roughly 30%, reaching around $0.11, as Robinhood Chain activity pushed its daily fees above $2 million.
The important part is not simply the price pump.
Robinhood Chain is powered by Arbitrum technology, and its revenue-sharing model sends 10% of net revenue back to the Arbitrum ecosystem.
That creates something investors always watch closely: real network activity connecting back to ecosystem economics.
ARB's story also has history. The token's major launch moment came on March 23, 2023, when Arbitrum distributed its ARB airdrop.
But there is another side: sharp rallies bring volatility, and future token supply events can create selling pressure.
So the real question is not “Can ARB pump?”
It already did.
The question is: Can Robinhood Chain revenue turn today's excitement into lasting ARB value?
