🚨 A developer browsing AliExpress made a strange discovery when his Bluetooth headphones stopped switching between devices.
After digging into the code, he reportedly found hidden scripts playing inaudible sounds to create a unique fingerprint of his computer, while also collecting data like screen size, memory, mouse behavior and WebRTC signals.
The data was then sent back to Alibaba’s servers.
There’s no evidence AliExpress recorded conversations or accessed microphones, but the tracking reportedly happened without clear user consent.
NVIDIA is taking the US-China AI race to another level.
The chip giant is reportedly putting $6B behind a major push to build a powerful US alternative to Chinese AI. As part of the move, $NVDA is licensing technology from AI startup Poolside and bringing more than 100 of its engineers into the company.
They’ll work on Nvidia’s Nemotron AI project, putting the company in direct competition with Chinese models like DeepSeek and US giants such as OpenAI and Anthropic.
Jensen Huang’s bet is simple: open-weight AI could be one of the biggest weapons the US has to stay ahead of China.
Altcoins can make you forget 6–12 months of pain in just 1–2 weeks.
That’s how quickly things can change in crypto. After months of bleeding and frustration, the market can suddenly flip and send altcoins flying.
That’s why positioning matters most when nobody wants to buy. Many altcoins are still trading at cheap levels, giving you a chance to accumulate before the real move begins.
Trump said the U.S. is considering buying large amounts of $BTC and other crypto, while the SEC proposed its first crypto rulebook and the CFTC declared “regulation by enforcement” over.
Bitcoin surged 28% from $62,300 to $79,500, while Ethereum jumped 36%.
Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs pulled in a combined $2.62B, while $5B in shorts were liquidated and $500B was added to the total crypto market cap.
Even Strategy flipped from $12B underwater to $1.21B in profit.
Ethereum spent most of August stuck below $2,000. Then the breakout came.
$ETH surged 20% on August 19, its biggest single-day gain since May 2025, and has now climbed 30% in five days, pushing above $2,500 for the first time since March.
Spot ETH ETFs also saw over $500M in inflows across four straight days, their strongest streak since September 2025.
Sentiment had dropped to a three-month low just two days before the rally.
ETH is still nearly 49% below its $4,953 all-time high, but the comeback is becoming hard to ignore.
But the real story started somewhere else: the U.S. Treasury market.
The Treasury just doubled the maximum size of its long-term bond buybacks, from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation, targeting longer-dated Treasuries starting September 9.
Then yields dropped.
The 10-year fell 6 bps to 4.647%, while the 30-year dropped 9 bps to 5.196%.
And Bitcoin followed.
BTC jumped from $65,400 to $67,600, then hit $69,700 just one minute later.
That violent move wiped out leveraged shorts, adding even more forced buying. Around $1.59 billion in crypto liquidations followed, including roughly $746 million in Bitcoin shorts.
The chain reaction was simple:
Treasury buybacks → yields fall → Bitcoin rises → shorts get liquidated → forced buying pushes BTC higher.
And no, this wasn't QE. The Fed didn't turn on the money printer.
The bond market moved first.
Bitcoin followed.
Then the short squeeze turned the move into an explosion.
The White House Crypto Summit has ended, and the message coming out of Washington is hard to ignore.
Trump says the U.S. is considering buying “sizable” amounts of $BTC , urged Congress to pass the CLARITY Act, and said America should become the undisputed leader in crypto.
Then HYPE started moving after Trump encouraged Hyperliquid to come to the U.S.
But the biggest statement came at the end.
Trump declared that the “war on crypto” is over.
After years of uncertainty, Washington is now talking about Bitcoin, crypto regulation, and American leadership.
This could be the beginning of a new chapter for crypto.
The bull market may have just gotten its biggest political signal yet.
Bitcoin plunged roughly $18,000 in one day, while more than $20 billion in positions were liquidated. Now, a similar risk is back.
MSCI has revived a proposal that could remove Michael Saylor’s Strategy from its major indexes.
This time, crypto isn’t being targeted directly. MSCI is going after “Non-Operating Companies” firms whose value mainly comes from holding assets.
Strategy reportedly failed the initial test, meaning index removal is now a real possibility.
And that matters for $BTC .
If Strategy is removed, funds tracking MSCI indexes could be forced to sell its shares. JPMorgan previously estimated potential selling at $8.8 billion.
While $BTC has been moving sideways, $XRP has continued to bleed.
For many, that's the point where patience runs out.
The XRP/BTC chart is finally showing signs of capitulation, the kind of move that often marks the final wave of selling before momentum begins to shift.
No one can call the exact bottom.
But if history repeats, this phase is often where reversals begin.
Do you think XRP is close to its bottom, or is there still more downside ahead?
The Strait of Hormuz has always been one of the world's most important shipping routes.
Now, Iran wants to rewrite the rules.
A draft proposal would ban U.S., Israeli, and other designated hostile-linked vessels from passing through the strait, block certain cargo, impose fines of up to 20% of cargo value for violations, and give Tehran broader control over maritime traffic and security.
The plan is still under expert review and has not been approved by parliament.
If it ever becomes law, the effects could extend far beyond the region, with global energy markets and international trade watching every step.
While most people were busy debating what comes next, the whales were already making their move.
Over 10,500 $ETH , worth roughly $20.06 million, was quietly accumulated.
That kind of buy doesn't happen by accident.
With the Clarity Act drawing closer, some of the biggest players appear to be positioning before the market has a chance to fully price in what clearer regulation could mean for Ethereum.
Whether it's conviction or calculated risk, one thing is certain:
Smart money rarely waits for the headlines.
Do you think this is the beginning of a much bigger move for $ETH ?
For more than two centuries, the United States slowly built up its national debt.
It took 205 years to reach the first $1 trillion.
Back then, crossing that milestone felt historic.
Today, the country adds another $1 trillion in roughly 145 days.
Think about that for a second.
A number that once took generations to accumulate now grows in just a few months.
What's even more surprising is that 28.6% of the entire U.S. national debt has been added under President Trump, making him responsible for a larger share of the total debt than any other president.
It raises a bigger question than politics.
If debt is growing this fast, what does that mean for the future of the U.S. economy?
