Odaily Planet Daily reports that an Optimism community governance proposal has been approved. 546.9 million OP tokens that were originally planned for user airdrops have been reassigned to the “Strategic Ecosystem Fund” managed by the Optimism Foundation, sparking community discussion about governance transparency and user rights.
The OP tokens involved in this proposal account for 12.7% of the total supply, and at current prices are worth approximately $49.7 million. The Optimism Foundation said that as its ecosystem strategy shifts toward institutional adoption and business partnerships, large-scale user token airdrops no longer fully align with the current direction of development. The unused tokens can be used for ecosystem incentives, building partner relationships, and expanding into enterprise-level projects.

Editor’s Note: This week, the U.S. 30-year Treasury yield briefly rose to around 5.34%, reaching the highest level since 2007. Subsequently, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent announced an expansion of long-term Treasury buybacks, increasing the maximum single-tranche buyback size for a portion of 10–30-year Treasuries from $2 billion to at least $4 billion. The relevant arrangements will be implemented from September 9 to November 4. After the news was released, long-end yields fell, the U.S. dollar weakened, and risk assets received some support.

Odaily Planet Daily reports: "BTC OG insider whale" agent Garrett Jin analyzed that this round of Bitcoin breaking above $70,000 was driven by multiple positives, including an expansion of U.S. Treasury bond repurchases by the Ministry of Finance, the SEC’s proposal to roll out a regulatory framework for crypto assets, and the White House crypto summit. The current price has already entered a dense band of trapped positions between the latter half of the $60,000 range and the low end of the $80,000 range, and the first resistance layer has begun to loosen.
Garrett Jin noted that over the past two months, the area around just over $60 million accumulated a large amount of new position costs, providing bottom support for this breakout. Although a short squeeze driven by liquidations may still push Bitcoin higher in the short term—potentially above $80,000—the $80,000 to $82,500 range is a resistance zone that needs close attention, and the squeeze momentum is unlikely to be sustainable long term. If, before any breakout, price can effectively absorb supply while staying below $80,000, it would be more favorable for the subsequent movement’s healthy development.
