🚨 $778 BILLION flowed into stocks and commodities through crypto exchanges in August alone.
📈 August’s trading volume surpassed the entire first quarter of 2026 and was 33× higher than last November.
⚡ The reason? Some stocks are now more volatile than Bitcoin, pushing traders to use crypto platforms to trade Nvidia, Tesla, gold and oil with leverage — 24/7 and without actually owning the underlying assets.
📊 These contracts now account for nearly 25% of perpetual futures volume on major crypto exchanges, up from just 0.5% nine months ago, according to Bloomberg.
Bitcoin outperformed the stock market today, according to Glassnode. However, over the past three months, BTC has surpassed the S&P 500 on only one-third of trading days, marking its longest stretch of underperformance in six years.
AI is becoming more affordable, even as markets continue to price in massive future profits.
Inference costs have dropped nearly 25% since mid-July, reaching their lowest level in three months as U.S. AI labs cut prices to compete with lower-cost Chinese models.

🚨 Bitcoin miners have sold over 28,000 BTC worth $1.78 billion this year, becoming one of the most overlooked factors behind Bitcoin’s 27% decline.

⚠️ As production costs continue to exceed market prices, many miners are being forced to sell their holdings to stay afloat.
🚨 Most of the BTC stolen in the Coldcard hack remains concentrated in just a few wallets.
