Institutional participation in the cryptocurrency market appears to be waning, with data indicating a slowdown in overall momentum within crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Fluctuating price activity among leading digital assets has coincided with a reduction in ETF market engagement from key investors.
XRP remains resilient amid ETF outflowsDespite a general decline in investor activity across major crypto ETFs, fresh data from SosoValue shows that XRP stood out as the only major digital asset to record net inflows in the latest trading session. ETFs tracking Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana all saw net outflows, while XRP investment products bucked the trend.
On September 8, XRP ETFs registered net inflows of $1.55 million, recovering from a previous session of zero participation. In contrast, Bitcoin ETFs recorded a combined $46.65 million in net withdrawals, with Ethereum ETFs seeing $24.29 million flow out and Solana ETF products experiencing $667,720 in outflows, according to the same data set.
Although XRP’s net inflow figure is modest compared to the total assets under management for crypto ETFs, the movement highlights a growing interest in regulated exposure to XRP. This stands in sharp distinction to the broader trend of outflows among its competitors.
Market shift signals changing investor prioritiesThe shift in ETF flows suggests that, at least in recent sessions, institutional investors may be evaluating their crypto allocations and potentially favoring XRP exposure within regulated frameworks. Analysts noted that despite the relatively small amount, the inflow gives XRP an edge in the ETF market for that period.
This renewed demand has also coincided with a minor rebound in XRP’s market price, with the asset recording a gain of approximately 3% over the previous day. Trading optimism has grown, with some traders targeting a potential rally toward the $2 level should positive momentum continue.
XRP has emerged as the sole major asset to attract new capital into its ETF ecosystem, while Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana saw continued withdrawals, highlighting shifting investor preferences in the current market environment.
Technical analysts are monitoring key levels in XRP’s price movements and ETF market performance, noting that investment flows can influence future price direction. This trend may be especially important if momentum carries through subsequent sessions.
Broader financial trends: Wall Street and Web3Analysts also point to broader financial industry trends, where traditional markets, long reliant on brokers and intermediaries, are witnessing fundamental shifts toward Web3 platforms. Companies such as 1stepSwap now allow investors to directly hold tokenized shares of U.S. companies, gold, and silver in their crypto wallets, removing intermediaries and facilitating instant price discovery through tokenization of real-world assets.
As the ETF landscape evolves, market participants are urged to closely track both asset flows and technical developments, with special focus on new avenues for regulated digital asset exposure.
Solana has emerged as the leading blockchain network in daily application revenue, according to the latest figures showing that its ecosystem applications generated approximately $6.56 million within a 24-hour window. This significantly surpasses competing chains and marks a period of both financial and technical recovery for Solana’s native token, SOL.
Revenue rankings among blockchainsData reveals that Solana far outpaced Robinhood Chain, which secured about $3.22 million in the same time frame. Binance Smart Chain (BSC) followed with $3.26 million, placing it narrowly ahead of Robinhood Chain but still well below Solana’s daily total. Hyperliquid L1, with around $1.94 million, exceeded Ethereum’s $1.59 million, shifting the traditional order among leading networks.
Notably, Base did not feature in the top five blockchains by daily application revenue. The consolidated rankings underline Solana’s dominant position, with its applications producing more than double the revenue generated by the Robinhood Chain ecosystem during the measured period.
Solana’s daily application revenue totaling $6.56 million reflects a broad surge in user activity and economic engagement across the network, distinguishing it from other major blockchains in this reporting window.
SOL price recovery and technical signalsSolana’s strong app revenue closely coincides with a notable recovery in the SOL token’s market price. SOL bounced back sharply from its June low of around $62 and is now trading near $104.40. August brought the largest technical breakthrough, as SOL surged beyond its key moving averages after stepping out of a protracted consolidation phase between $74 and $78.
At present, SOL is holding above the 20-day moving average at approximately $97.07, and remains well above the 200-day average, set near $91.38. The presence of the 50-day and 100-day averages in the $86 range further fortifies the support zone beneath SOL’s current price.
Following a brief stint in overbought territory, the relative strength index (RSI) has eased back to about 63, while trading volume has declined from its August peak. During this stabilization period, SOL has fluctuated mainly between $100 and $108. Market analysts highlight that a decisive move above the $108–$110 resistance band could unlock a potential rally toward $116 and possibly $120.
Economic trends and industry shiftsWhile app revenue and token price are independent metrics, Solana’s recent high revenue signals robust network activity and broader engagement within its ecosystem. The first psychological support for SOL rests near $100, reinforced by the strengthening 20-day moving average at $97, and backing from additional averages at lower levels.
Amid these dynamics, the blockchain industry is witnessing ongoing structural change. Whereas traditional markets often rely on complex intermediaries, a major transition is underway as Wall Street increasingly adopts Web3 strategies. Investors have begun turning to platforms such as 1stepSwap, which enable direct holding of top U.S. stocks, gold, and silver in crypto wallets. This evolution includes the tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWAs), with automated systems optimizing market pricing in seconds, effectively bypassing conventional middlemen.
Despite a strong showing in app revenue, industry participants continue to emphasize that a higher SOL price is not inherently assured by elevated application activity metrics, given the separation between network utility and token valuation.
Solana’s robust daily revenue remains a clear reflection of its position as a growth leader among public blockchain networks, as the search for technical and market breakthroughs continues.
South Korea-based digital asset wallet company IoTrust, led by CEO Sangsu Baek, unveiled a new brand identity for DCENT on September 8, marking the first major rebranding since the brand was launched eight years ago.
As part of the rebranding, the English brand name has changed from “D’CENT” to “DCENT,” removing the apostrophe, while the Korean brand name remains unchanged.
The new slogan, “Own your future. At ease.”, reflects DCENT’s commitment to keeping ownership of digital assets in the hands of users while reducing the burden associated with storing and managing them. The new wordmark and signature color, “DCENT Lime,” visually represent this direction.
Beyond the Name: Expanding the Digital Asset ExperienceThe rebranding goes beyond changes to the brand name and visual identity. Hardware wallets have evolved from devices used primarily for asset storage into access points for approving transactions, participating in staking, and using a wide range of digital asset services.
In line with this evolution, DCENT is expanding into a brand that provides a comprehensive digital asset experience encompassing storage, backup, management, and utility.
The key phrase behind the rebranding is “Beyond Storage.” It represents DCENT’s commitment to making the entire digital asset journey more convenient—from secure storage to backup, recovery, management, and use.
Unveiled alongside the rebranding, DCENT X is a premium hardware wallet that embodies this direction through its product experience.
DCENT X is a cold wallet that allows users to clearly review what they are signing on its 2.4-inch AMOLED display and approve it with a single fingerprint. With the addition of the touchscreen- and fingerprint-enabled DCENT X, DCENT now offers a broader range of options suited to different storage preferences and usage environments, alongside its biometric hardware wallet and the card-style DCENT S.
DCENT S and DCENT X both feature a backup and recovery method using the Recovery Card. This approach reduces the inconvenience of manually writing down and storing a recovery phrase and allows users to manage their recovery information through a separate physical card, improving the convenience of digital asset storage.
From Personal Wallets to Enterprise and Institutional SolutionsDCENT is also expanding beyond individual users to provide digital asset management environments for businesses and institutions.
About DCENT EnterpriseDCENT Enterprise is an institutional solution designed to help businesses and institutions securely store and manage digital assets. It supports internal control mechanisms such as multi-level approvals, enabling organizations involving multiple authorized personnel to manage digital assets according to their internal policies.
Connecting personal hardware wallets and organization-level digital asset management solutions under a single DCENT brand represents the direction of the company’s business expansion through this rebranding.
“This rebranding marks the beginning of DCENT’s expansion beyond an asset storage device into a digital asset experience brand that connects backup, recovery, management, and utility,” said a representative of IoTrust. “We will continue to expand our business by broadening the options available to individual users through DCENT X and DCENT S, while supporting the digital asset management environments of businesses and institutions through DCENT Enterprise.”
DCENT currently supports more than 100 blockchain networks and over 10,000 tokens, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum, XRP Ledger, Solana, and Stellar (XLM).
Solana is poised to demonstrate that it is still the OG blockchain.
From an on-chain perspective, September got off to a good start. However, the majority of the early gains were driven by Robinhood Chain, which experienced a significant increase in DEX volume, transactions, and RWA adoption.
This naturally raised questions about whether Solana was losing some of its edge.
The most recent information, however, suggests that Solana is regaining its momentum. Following a brief loss of the number one position in terms of daily DEX volume to Robinhood Chain, Solana recovered in less than 72 hours.
It is now back above $2 billion per day in terms of DEX volume and is outpacing Robinhood Chain by a considerable margin.
Source: Artemis Notably, the address activity tells a similar story. According to the Token Terminal data, Solana boasts around 10x higher active addresses than Robinhood Chain, which speaks of the network’s activity difference.
In short, there is still no doubt about SOL’s demand. Even though Robinhood’s airdrop has attracted many new users, Solana’s fast adoption rate has not diminished any of the activity.
According to AMBCrypto, this is where the chart above begins to hold serious weight.
Like the chart shows, Solana is dominating x402 activity, outpacing Base and others for the second week in a row. Solana now comprises over 80% of total activity, suggesting growing adoption in the space of AI agents and stablecoin payments.
That gives Solana’s recent surge a more fundamental angle: its success is not only being driven by DEX activity but also by emerging agentic payments use cases.
In this regard, Solana [SOL] seems to be pulling ahead of Robinhood Chain, raising the question of whether the recent whale accumulation is being driven more by conviction than speculation.
Solana’s H2 rally is just getting started Solana is showing one of the most bullish technical setups in crypto at the moment.
From a technical perspective, SOL has closed its first green monthly candle in 10 months, with the monthly MACD nearing a bullish crossover. On the monthly chart, the RSI has broken above a two-year downtrend, suggesting that long-term momentum could be turning in favor of SOL.
In this regard, the Lookonchain data recently showed that a whale accumulated 285,503 SOL during the past three weeks, which makes the movement look more like a strategic move than a random one.
However, despite the recent bullish signs, analyst Ansem argues the market is not yet bullish enough.
Source: X Now, this is where Solana’s fundamentals start to matter.
While the recent shift in network traffic towards Robinhood may have rattled some, Solana’s technical and fundamental conviction is proving far more resistant to pressure.
If anything, the network is already regaining momentum across both DEX and agentic activity, making Ansem’s bullish thesis look less far-fetched.
With technicals trending higher, on-chain activity picking up, and Solana dominating the agentic transaction landscape, the fundamentals are proving increasingly difficult to ignore.
This could help explain why recent whale accumulation may just be the start of a deeper accumulation phase ahead.
Final Summary Solana is gaining momentum, with stronger activity across DEXs and agentic transactions.
Whales may be buying for the long term, as Solana’s fundamentals continue to improve.

US Treasuries extended their decline after the repurchase announcement, with the market viewing the $6 billion cap as insufficient.
The U.S. Treasury Department said it will purchase between $40 billion and $60 billion in long-term government debt in the first operation of its expanded repurchase program, demonstrating Secretary Bessent’s resolve to curb the recent rise in borrowing costs. U.S. Treasuries extended their earlier decline following the announcement, indicating the program’s size fell short of some investors’ expectations. The success of the expanded purchase program remains to be seen. After the program was first announced last month, yields fell before rebounding later. The benchmark 10-year yield hit its highest level since 2023 last week. Economist Guha, a former staffer at the New York Fed, noted: “The challenge always lies in whether the impact of these interventions can persist without larger fundamental changes.” Moreover, the maximum size of the repurchase operation does not mean the Treasury will necessarily purchase that amount of Treasuries. However, in repurchases targeting long-term nominal debt, the department typically buys the full amount; since the program was relaunched in 2024, it has only failed to do so in two of 52 such operations.

a16z Crypto releases open-source zkVM Lattice Jolt, with quantum-resistant capabilities.
a16z Crypto has announced the release of a new version of its open-source zero-knowledge virtual machine (zkVM), Lattice Jolt. The update switches the underlying cryptography from elliptic curves to lattice cryptography, making the system quantum-resistant, and boosts both prover and verifier speeds by 2 to 3 times. Its proof size currently stands at under 100KB, which a16z Crypto claims is the smallest proof of any post-quantum zkVM. Lattice Jolt uses a novel polynomial commitment scheme called Akita, built on the Module-SIS lattice hardness assumption, with a target 128-bit security level. Akita was developed by LayerZero’s research and engineering team in collaboration with teams from Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Southern California, and a16z Crypto. Performance-wise, Lattice Jolt can prove over 2 million RISC-V cycles per second on a CPU-only device; with Apple Metal GPU acceleration, it exceeds 10 million cycles on a MacBook. The prover’s memory footprint has also dropped from roughly 300 bytes per cycle to 200 bytes, supporting proof generation for millions of compute cycles on mobile phones. The project will add additional zero-knowledge functionality via an upcoming academic paper.

Franklin Crypto executive Chris Perkins defended Robinhood Chain as an “incredible unlock” on Monday’s Bits + Bips, a day before Bernstein told clients the network had become a source of earnings, then said the memecoin activity driving much of its volume is “not an investment.”

Posted September 9, 2026 at 11:02 am EST.
Robinhood launched its own blockchain on July 1 and spent the summer fielding questions about what it was for. Chris Perkins, head of Franklin Crypto, used Monday’s episode of Bits + Bips to answer one of them, and a day later Bernstein told clients the same thing in different words.
“I wanna defend Robinhood Chain here for a second because I thought it was an incredible unlock. They are printing money,” Perkins said on the show, recalling being in London for the launch. He praised how the company built the network, calling it “the DeFi mullet in action,” an industry phrase for a mainstream front end running on DeFi rails behind the scenes.
Bernstein’s analysts, led by Gautam Chhugani, told clients in a Tuesday note that they were keeping an Outperform rating and a $160 price target on Robinhood Markets. “The chain is now earnings,” they wrote, putting daily trading fees at $2 million to $4 million. Over the previous 15 days the network led every other chain with roughly $33 million. Solana took about $11 million in the same stretch, and BNB Chain close to $9 million. Nearly 90% of that revenue stays with Robinhood, the analysts said, with about a tenth going to Arbitrum, whose technology the chain runs on, and under 1% to Ethereum.
The Fees Are Only Days Old The money arrived fast. Robinhood Chain has taken in $23.8 million in fees over the past seven days against $33.5 million over 30, meaning roughly 71% of its month came from its last week, DefiLlama data shows. Solana collected $4.3 million over the same seven days.
What the Fees Are Made Of Much of the activity is memecoins paired against thinly traded stocks. Host Austin Campbell said on the show that FARMI, a Nasdaq-listed Chinese dried mushroom seller with 15 employees, ran 350% on Wednesday with 720 million shares changing hands, about 90 times its average, after a memecoin using its ticker began trading on Robinhood Chain. Campbell compared the pattern to bucket shops, saying “capitalizing on thinly traded names at off hours to push price” was the same behavior.
Perkins, asked directly about it in the next segment, did not defend that part. “I think it’s a game,” he said. “It’s not an investment.” He called the equities linkage “GameStop 2.0,” said anyone playing is “probably gonna lose money” and added that manipulating these markets is illegal where the assets are commodities. On the chain permitting it at all, he said, “people can do what people feel like doing,” and called that “part of the things of running a decentralized chain.”

In July, Brazil’s Securities and Exchange Commission, the CVM, created a dedicated Tokenization Working Group to study the registration, custody, trading, and settlement of securities using distributed ledger technology.
The group has also been tasked with proposing an experimental regulatory regime for tokenized securities, placing tokenization directly within the regulator’s agenda for the modernization of Brazil’s capital markets.
Meanwhile, Brazilian tokenization platform Liqi Digital Assets and XDC Network have renewed their partnership for another two years and raised the total targeted issuance from $500 million to $2 billion through 2028.
The new agreement consists of the original $500 million, which the companies say has already been completed, alongside a further $1.5 billion in planned issuance.
Liqi Reached Its Original $500 Million Target Nine Months Early The expansion follows faster-than-expected issuance under the companies’ first agreement.
Liqi and XDC initially signed their partnership in April 2025, setting a target of up to $500 million in real-world assets over 24 months. According to the companies, that target was reached in roughly 15 months, nine months ahead of schedule.
This makes Liqi the largest issuer of yield-bearing assets on XDC, according to the company. The company says approximately $835 million has now been tokenized across 386 series and 60 asset pools, supported by 378 smart contracts deployed on XDC mainnet.
Daniel Coquieri, CEO and co-founder of Liqi Digital Assets, said the original target was set at a time when institutional demand was harder to gauge.
“We signed the first agreement with a target that looked aggressive: half a billion dollars in two years. We delivered in fifteen months, because Brazil’s structured credit market was already there – what was missing was the infrastructure. We tripled the commitment because demand tripled. What we are building is not a blockchain pilot: it is the rail that regulated banks and originators run credit through, with auditable collateral and on-chain settlement.”
Under the renewed agreement, XDC will remain Liqi’s exclusive blockchain for RWA issuance. The companies intend to expand into additional forms of structured credit, trade finance and receivables generated by larger originators.
Tokenized Credit Is a Growing Part of the RWA Market The credit focus is key because the RWA market is expanding beyond the tokenized US Treasury products that drove much of its earlier institutional growth.
RWA.xyz currently tracks $7.82 billion of distributed tokenized credit and another $37.73 billion of represented credit assets across more than 2,500 assets. The category includes corporate credit, structured credit, specialty finance and other forms of non-sovereign debt.
Tokenized Credit Market Snapshot as of September 9, 2026. Source: RWA.XYZ Liqi’s activity sits within this part of the market. According to the company, assets already issued on XDC include trade receivables, payroll-deductible loans, debentures, corporate credit and Brazilian receivables certificates. Issuances have involved institutions including Itaú BBA, Banco BV, Banco ABC Brasil and Creditas.
Diego Consimo, Head of LATAM at XDC Network, said:
“These are structured credit operations, originated within the regulated financial market, that now use blockchain as an effective part of their infrastructure.”
For XDC, securing additional issuance also strengthens its exposure to the RWA sector at a time when competition between blockchains for tokenized assets is growing.
Ethereum currently leads distributed RWA value with around $17.6 billion, followed by BNB Chain, Solana and Stellar, according to RWA.xyz.
Brazil Brings Tokenization Into Capital Markets Brazilian regulators are also increasing their focus on how tokenized assets should operate within the existing financial system.
The CVM’s new working group includes representatives from 14 areas of the regulator and has already begun discussions with organizations including ANBIMA, ABCripto, ABToken and other capital-market participants. Its mandate includes examining custody, registration, trading and settlement using DLT systems.
Brazil’s Central Bank has separately explored tokenized finance through Drex, a DLT-based environment designed for regulated financial intermediaries and programmable financial services.
Commercial issuance and regulatory development are therefore beginning to come together. Credit instruments can already be created and settled through blockchain systems, while regulators are working through how those systems should interact with established securities-market rules.
The Liqi-XDC agreement offers an indication of the volumes that could follow if institutional adoption continues. However, the $2 billion commitment remains a forward target rather than completed issuance, with $1.5 billion still scheduled to be brought on-chain during the next two years.
For Brazil’s tokenization market, reaching that target would show that tokenized credit can progress from comparatively small deployments into repeat issuance involving regulated banks, originators and established financial instruments.
SEC filing documents surfaced online purportedly show new listing standards that would explicitly name XRP alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and Litecoin as eligible commodities for a new class of exchange-traded products, according to a post from independent crypto news account RippleXity, which is not affiliated with Ripple Labs.
Nasdaq Texas filed a proposed rule change with the SEC on August 20 to amend Rule 5711(d), governing generic listing standards for Commodity-Based Trust Shares. The alleged unpublished documents show that the SEC published notice of the filing, with an order granting accelerated approval, on September 3, with the document scheduled to appear in the Federal Register on September 9.
According to excerpts shared by RippleXity, the filing outlines examples of how a proposed 15% buffer allowance would apply, including a scenario in which a Commodity-Based Trust Share holds 95% of its net asset value in Bitcoin, Ether, Solana and XRP, structured to qualify as “eligible commodities” under Rule 5711(d)(iv)(A)(2) and (3).
The proposed changes would reportedly allow up to 15% of a trust’s net asset value to consist of assets that don’t meet standard eligibility criteria, introduce a formal definition for “digital commodity,” and permit actively managed strategies within these products.
Other mainstream outlets have not independently confirmed the contents or authenticity of the filing excerpts as presented. The claims originate from RippleXity, a self-described independent, community-powered news platform built on the XRP Ledger that states it is not affiliated with Ripple or Ripple Labs Inc.

Robinhood, the American financial services company known for its commission-free trading platform, launched its own blockchain, Robinhood Chain, on July 1. This new venture quickly became a focal point in the decentralized finance (DeFi) community throughout the summer, raising questions about its purpose and business strategy.
Network earnings surgeChris Perkins, who leads Franklin Crypto, addressed these questions on the Bits + Bips podcast, describing Robinhood Chain as an “incredible unlock” for the company. He commended the blockchain’s architecture, referring to it as the “DeFi mullet in action,” an industry term for platforms with a user-friendly interface running on sophisticated DeFi technology.
Market research firm Bernstein, led by analyst Gautam Chhugani, issued a note to clients maintaining an Outperform rating and setting a $160 price target for Robinhood Markets. Bernstein reported that Robinhood Chain’s daily trading fees reached between $2 million and $4 million, placing it ahead of other major blockchains in recent weeks.
During a 15-day period, Robinhood Chain generated approximately $33 million in trading fees, outshining Solana with $11 million and BNB Chain with roughly $9 million. Almost 90% of Robinhood Chain’s revenue flows directly to Robinhood, while about 10% goes to Arbitrum, the technology platform the blockchain is built on. Less than 1% is paid to Ethereum for settlement services.
DefiLlama data indicated that Robinhood Chain amassed $23.8 million in trading fees over the most recent seven days, representing roughly 71% of its $33.5 million total for the previous 30 days. By comparison, Solana collected just $4.3 million in fees in the same week.

Mini dictionary: Arbitrum, a leading Ethereum layer-2 rollup solution, enables greater scalability for decentralized applications by using off-chain processing while maintaining compatibility with Ethereum smart contracts.
Growth fueled by memecoinsA significant portion of Robinhood Chain’s activity centers around memecoins, which are often paired with thinly traded stocks. On the Bits + Bips podcast, host Austin Campbell highlighted an example involving FARMI, a Chinese dried mushroom company listed on Nasdaq with only 15 employees. Following the launch of a memecoin using its ticker, FARMI shares surged 350% in a single day, with 720 million shares trading hands—90 times the normal volume.
Perkins described the situation as “GameStop 2.0,” warning that “anyone playing is probably gonna lose money” and stated that market manipulation with such assets is illegal when they are considered commodities.
Campbell likened this activity to “bucket shops,” referencing entities that profit by exploiting thinly traded assets outside conventional market hours to push prices.
When questioned directly, Perkins refrained from supporting this aspect of Robinhood Chain. He characterized the equities-linked memecoin trend as more of a game than an investment, emphasizing the risks and reinforcing that decentralized chains enable such speculative behavior.
While discussing the permissiveness of the platform, Perkins noted, “people can do what people feel like doing,” describing it as an inherent feature of managing a decentralized blockchain.
This recent surge in memecoin trading has raised new questions about the responsibility of blockchain operators in overseeing market activity, especially when traditional equity tickers are involved in speculative crypto assets.
US Treasuries extended their decline after the repurchase announcement, with the market viewing the $6 billion cap as insufficient.
The U.S. Treasury Department said it will purchase between $40 billion and $60 billion in long-term government debt in the first operation of its expanded repurchase program, demonstrating Secretary Bessent’s resolve to curb the recent rise in borrowing costs. U.S. Treasuries extended their earlier decline following the announcement, indicating the program’s size fell short of some investors’ expectations. The success of the expanded purchase program remains to be seen. After the program was first announced last month, yields fell before rebounding later.

a16z Crypto releases open-source zkVM Lattice Jolt, with quantum-resistant capabilities.
a16z Crypto has announced the release of a new version of its open-source zero-knowledge virtual machine (zkVM), Lattice Jolt. The update switches the underlying cryptography from elliptic curves to lattice cryptography, making the system quantum-resistant, and boosts both prover and verifier speeds by 2 to 3 times. Its proof size currently stands at under 100KB, which a16z Crypto claims is the smallest proof of any post-quantum zkVM. Lattice Jolt uses a novel polynomial commitment scheme called Akita, built on the Module-SIS lattice hardness assumption, with a target 128-bit security level. Akita was developed by LayerZero’s research and engineering team in collaboration with teams from Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Southern California, and a16z Crypto. Performance-wise, Lattice Jolt can prove over 2 million RISC-V cycles per second on a CPU-only device; with Apple Metal GPU acceleration, it exceeds 10 million cycles on a MacBook. The prover’s memory footprint has also dropped from roughly 300 bytes per cycle to 200 bytes, supporting proof generation for millions of compute cycles on mobile phones. The project will add additional zero-knowledge functionality via an upcoming academic paper.

Vitalik: Hopes EIP-8288 will be included in the I-star Upgrade to significantly reduce the cost of quantum-secure transactions
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has published a post detailing the recursive STARK mempool proposal EIP-8288, which he aims to include in Ethereum’s I-star upgrade following the Hegota upgrade. The proposal cuts on-chain computation and data costs by offloading signatures and proofs from Ethereum’s core execution path and recursively aggregating STARKs within the mempool. Vitalik noted that the solution supports low-cost quantum-secure signatures and privacy protocols, with the cost of quantum-secure private transactions projected to drop from around 10 million Gas to tens of thousands of Gas. It is also compatible with new signature or proof schemes such as Falcon and ML-DSA without modifying the EVM, while enabling private account abstraction. Per the design, nodes will periodically aggregate transaction dependencies and generate recursive STARKs, and block builders will produce proofs for transactions slated for inclusion in blocks. Each block’s additional on-chain overhead is approximately a 100–300 KB STARK, plus 96 bytes of data per statement to be proven. The scheme may also drive Ethereum to adopt RISC-V as the standard instruction set for recursive STARKs.

US Treasuries extended their decline after the repurchase announcement, with the market viewing the $6 billion cap as insufficient.
The U.S. Treasury Department said it will purchase between $40 billion and $60 billion in long-term government debt in the first operation of its expanded repurchase program, demonstrating Secretary Bessent’s resolve to curb the recent rise in borrowing costs. U.S. Treasuries extended their earlier decline following the announcement, indicating the program’s size fell short of some investors’ expectations. The success of the expanded purchase program remains to be seen. After the program was first announced last month, yields fell before rebounding later. The benchmark 10-year yield hit its highest level since 2023 last week. Economist Guha, a former staffer at the New York Fed, noted: “The challenge always lies in whether the impact of these interventions can persist without larger fundamental changes.” Moreover, the maximum size of the repurchase operation does not mean the Treasury will necessarily purchase that amount of Treasuries. However, in repurchases targeting long-term nominal debt, the department typically buys the full amount; since the program was relaunched in 2024, it has only failed to do so in two of 52 such operations.

As hundreds of billions of SHIB depart trading platforms, Shiba Inu is displaying a potentially bullish shift in exchange activity. According to the most recent on-chain data, total exchange outflows are estimated to be around 323.19 billion SHIB, significantly more than the 251.01 billion SHIB inflows.
Shiba Inu reserves get thinnerMore significantly, the most recent outflow figure shows a significant acceleration in withdrawals, rising by about 311 billion SHIB over the previous 24-hour period. Exchange reserves lend credence to this interpretation.
SHIB/USDT Chart by TradingViewWhile their dollar value has decreased by 0.45% to roughly $472.86 million, total reserves have decreased by 0.08% to about 87.24 trillion SHIB. Falling reserves can be a sign that holders are transferring tokens into private custody instead of putting them up for sale. They also typically lower the immediately available supply on centralized exchanges.
HOT Stories
Shiba Inu inflows flipsHowever, the data is not wholly one-sided. The mean inflow increased to about 1.13 billion SHIB per transaction, and exchange inflows also increased to 251 billion SHIB. Together, the top ten inflows brought in roughly 5.62 billion SHIB. As a result, outflows that exceed an already high level of deposits are the main source of the bullish signal.

For SHIB's technical structure, the timing could be important. Shiba Inu is currently trading at about $0.00000545, having recovered from about $0.0000044 in August. The price has maintained its short-term ascending support while forming a series of higher lows.
Additionally, SHIB is trading above the longer averages around $0.00000491–$0.00000503 and the 20-day moving average near $0.00000517. The RSI is close to 58, indicating positive momentum without approaching overbought levels.
The 200-day moving average at $0.00000567 remains the biggest barrier. Prior attempts at $0.0000056–$0.0000059 drew significant selling, and SHIB has yet to establish itself above this level.
The amount of Shiba Inu's available supply has substantially decreased by multiple tens of millions of tokens after the network concluded a massive burn event on the last day.
Amid the consistently growing Shiba Inu network activity, the leading meme token has recorded a massive four-figure surge in its daily burn rate, according to data from Shibburn.
46.25 million SHIB faces permanent exitAlthough momentum surrounding the Shiba Inu price movement is beginning to slow as the price stalls slightly above the $0.0000052 mark, the latest on-chain data shows that the Shiba Inu supply is getting tighter.
HOT Stories
As of Tuesday, September 8, the data shows that a total of 46.25 million SHIB has been sent to dead or irretrievable wallets over the last 24 hours, driving a substantial 1,307% surge in its burn rate during the period.

This massive burn activity has driven the SHIB weekly burn volume to surpass 126 million SHIB, worth about $678 at SHIB's current trading price.
Shiba Inu price slowsAlthough substantial increases in the Shiba Inu burn metric could provide a bullish signal for the asset, as they often indicate strong network growth, they do not directly influence its price movement.
It is important to note that large burn activities tend to reduce the amount of supply available for sale, boosting demand for the asset while improving its scarcity.
With the asset currently trading in the red, the divergence between its price movement and such a large burn activity is not extremely significant to market analysts, as the metric cannot solely drive a price increase for SHIB.
Shiba Inu has recorded a significant reduction in its available token supply after a major burn event saw 46.25 million SHIB permanently transferred to unspendable wallets within a single day.
Major burn event boosts scarcityAccording to data from Shibburn, an independent platform tracking Shiba Inu burns, the network witnessed a four-digit surge in its daily burn rate, marking a 1,307% increase over the previous period. This recent activity took place on Tuesday, September 8, with burn transactions removing millions of tokens from circulation within 24 hours.
The total amount burned during this time pushed the weekly figure to over 126 million SHIB, equivalent to approximately $678 based on current market prices. Despite these substantial removals, Shiba Inu continues to trade slightly above $0.0000052, facing limited price momentum in recent sessions.
Mini dictionary: Shibburn, a platform dedicated to tracking and reporting Shiba Inu token burn events, aggregates on-chain data and provides real-time statistics on the amount of SHIB permanently removed from circulation.
DateAmount Burned (SHIB)Burn Rate IncreaseWeekly Total (SHIB)Estimated Value ($)Tuesday, September 846.25 million1,307%126 million678Price action diverges from supply mechanicsWhile the spike in Shiba Inu’s burn rate would typically be considered a positive indicator for the project, current price data show that the increase has not translated to immediate gains. The token’s price has stalled in recent days, even as network activity and burn rates continue to rise.
Asset burning is a mechanism used across various blockchain projects to reduce circulating supply by sending tokens to wallets with no possibility of recovery. This process is generally viewed as supportive of long-term scarcity and could eventually enhance value if demand remains stable or increases.
Despite the reduced supply, market analysts do not see an immediate price uptick resulting solely from burn metrics. These events highlight the complexity of price formation in the crypto market, where multiple factors, including demand, market sentiment, and liquidity, also contribute to pricing dynamics.
Recent data from Shibburn indicated a dramatic surge in the Shiba Inu burn rate, with 46.25 million SHIB tokens sent to unspendable wallets in a single day and the weekly burn volume surpassing 126 million SHIB.
Network activity and future outlookThe Shiba Inu project, created as a decentralized meme token, continues to see robust interest from its community, especially during periods of high network activity and significant burn events. Despite the short-term disconnect between burning activity and token price, proponents often point to ongoing burns as supportive of longer-term scarcity.
Market observers remain cautious, noting that while high burn rates can reduce supply, actual price movements depend on a combination of several market variables beyond supply contraction alone. Investors and analysts are watching closely to see if sustained burning and community efforts can improve sentiment and influence Shiba Inu’s price trajectory over the coming months.
Hyperliquid (HYPE): HYPE remains bullish despite cooling from $89, with $78–$80 support key for another push toward $90 and potentially $100.Zcash (ZEC): ZEC's powerful rally remains intact, but extreme overextension and overbought RSI make a correction toward $1,000 or even $850 possible.Ethereum (ETH): ETH is consolidating above key support after its August breakout, but a rally to $2,600–$2,650 seems unlikely.Shiba Inu (SHIB): SHIB's recovery remains constructive, but reclaiming the 200-day moving average at $0.00000567 is necessary to stay bullish.Hyperliquid might retreatAfter one of its biggest rallies of the year, Hyperliquid is finally exhibiting some signs of weariness. After dropping about 3.2 percent during the day, HYPE is currently trading at $82.50, retreating from the most recent local peak near $89.
HYPE/USDT Chart by TradingViewBut the overall structure is still very bullish. In the latter part of August, HYPE surged from the $56–$60 range and then surpassed its prior significant highs at $75. The asset is still significantly above all of the daily chart's major moving averages.
While the 50-day and 100-day averages are significantly lower at roughly $66.82 and $65.39, the 20-day moving average is close to $77.82. Nearly $57 is the 200-day average. Whether the current decline is indicative of normal cooling or the start of a more significant correction is the immediate question.
You Might Also Like
The former scenario is somewhat supported by the RSI. It moved into overbought territory before declining to about 57 points. As a result, momentum significantly returned to normal while the price corrected.
The crucial support zone is now between $78 and $80. It overlaps with the 20-day moving average, which is rising quickly, and the recent consolidation area. Holding it would put HYPE in a position to try again at $88–$90. A breakout there could open the path to the psychological $100 level.
Will Zcash's uptrend stay up?Zcash (ZEC) is still in an incredibly aggressive uptrend, but there is a much greater risk of a correction given its current technical configuration. After briefly rising above $1,240, ZEC is currently trading at about $1,149, continuing a rally that started in August at about $480. The price has significantly deviated from its main moving averages.
ZEC/USDT Chart by TradingViewThe 50-day and 100-day averages are still close to $651 and $614, respectively, while the 20-day average has already increased to about $849. At $512, the 200-day average is situated.
This separation shows how strong the trend is, but it also indicates that ZEC has very little technical support in the area if momentum abruptly stops. RSI is an additional caution. The daily reading is still in overbought territory, at about 75.8. In contrast to a traditional bearish signal, an overbought RSI does not always indicate that a strong trend will immediately reverse.
You Might Also Like
However, it does show that chasing ZEC around current levels is much riskier. The recent $1,230–$1,250 peak continues to be the first barrier. A strong breakout might move the market closer to $1,300 and possibly higher. The first area to watch on the downside is between $1,080 and $1,100. $1,000 becomes the primary psychological support below it.
The larger bullish structure would not necessarily be destroyed by a deeper correction toward $850, which would still keep ZEC above its quickly rising 20-day moving average.
Ethereum withstanding pressureEthereum is currently trading at about $2,459 as it consolidates following its explosive August breakout. The crucial point is that, despite multiple attempts to drive the asset below $2,400, sellers have not yet been able to undo the new market structure.
ETH/USDT Chart by TradingViewWith remarkable momentum, ETH emerged from a protracted consolidation between $1,880 and $1,920, quickly surpassing all of its major moving averages. At about $2,345 and $2,185, respectively, it is currently trading well above the 20-day and 200-day averages. The 50-day and 100-day averages are still much lower, at about $2,127 and $2,101, respectively. There is no doubt, however, that momentum has decreased.
You Might Also Like
Trading volume has significantly decreased since the initial breakout, and the RSI has dropped to about 60 from overbought territory. Both developments show that the market has entered consolidation following an exceptionally quick repricing, so neither is inherently negative.
Between $2,520 and $2,560 is where the immediate resistance is located. ETH has tested this area on several occasions without yielding a strong daily breakout. Clearing $2,560 would probably put $2,600–$2,650 back on track. $2,400 remains the first significant support on the downside.
A breakdown would reveal the rising 20-day average around $2,345. The larger bullish structure is unaffected as long as that area holds.
Can SHIB keep up with the market?Shiba Inu's chart is still far less convincing than Ethereum's, but it is still making progress. After setting a series of higher lows since its August bottom near $0.00000440, SHIB is currently trading around $0.00000541.
SHIB/USDT Chart by TradingViewBuyers are favored by the short-term structure. While the 50-day and 100-day averages are close to $0.00000491 and $0.00000503, SHIB is still above its 20-day moving average at $0.00000517.
More significantly, the price still respects the rising support line that was established during the most recent rebound. The 200-day moving average at $0.00000567 remains the main barrier. Since SHIB has not returned to this level, there has not been a clear bullish reversal in the overall trend.
You Might Also Like
Aggressive selling also affected earlier attempts to move significantly above it. Momentum is neutral to positive. With an RSI of about 57, there is plenty of room before overbought conditions become problematic. The most recent advance, however, lacks the participation observed during SHIB's earlier explosive moves, as evidenced by the declining volume.
A breakout above $0.00000567 could reopen $0.00000600–$0.00000620 and would be the most significant technical confirmation. On the other hand, the recovery would be weakened if the rising support and $0.00000517 were lost. The crucial defensive zone for buyers would then be the $0.00000490–$0.00000500 range.
Kripto para piyasasında Hyperliquid, Zcash, Ethereum ve Shiba Inu yatırımcıların yakın takibinde. Dört kripto varlıkta teknik görünüm farklı sinyaller verirken, son yükselişlerin ardından bazı bölgelerde düzeltme riski öne çıkıyor. HYPE güçlü trendini korumaya çalışırken ZEC’te aşırı alım sinyalleri dikkat çekiyor. Ethereum 2.400 doların üzerinde tutunurken, SHIB tarafında ise 200 günlük hareketli ortalama kritik direnç olmaya devam ediyor.
Hyperliquid İçin 90 Dolar Yeniden Gündeme Gelebilir Hyperliquid fiyatı gün içerisinde yaklaşık yüzde 3,2 gerileyerek 82,50 dolar seviyesine çekildi. HYPE böylece 89 dolara yaklaşan son yerel zirvesinden uzaklaşsa da teknik görünümde yükseliş yapısı henüz bozulmuş değil. HYPE, ağustos ayının ikinci yarısında 56-60 dolar bölgesinden başlayan güçlü hareketle 75 dolar seviyesinin üzerine çıkmayı başardı. Fiyatın günlük grafikte önemli hareketli ortalamaların üzerinde kalması, orta vadeli yükseliş trendinin devam ettiğine işaret ediyor. 20 günlük hareketli ortalama yaklaşık 77,82 dolar seviyesinde bulunurken, 50 günlük ortalama 66,82 dolar ve 100 günlük ortalama 65,39 dolar civarında seyrediyor.
İlginizi Çekebilir: Bitcoin Toparlanıyor: Asıl Sürpriz Bu Altcoin’den Geldi!
200 günlük ortalama ise yaklaşık 57 dolar seviyesinde bulunuyor. HYPE için kısa vadede 78-80 dolar bölgesi kritik destek konumunda. Bu bölgenin korunması halinde 88-90 dolar bandına doğru yeni bir yükseliş denemesi görülebilir. 90 doların güçlü hacimle aşılması durumunda ise psikolojik 100 dolar seviyesi yeniden yatırımcıların radarına girebilir. RSI göstergesinin daha önce aşırı alım bölgesine çıkmasının ardından 57 seviyesine gerilemesi ise yükseliş ivmesinin daha dengeli bir noktaya geldiğini gösteriyor.
Zcash İçin Düzeltme Riski Artıyor: 1.000 Dolar Kritik Zcash tarafında ise HYPE’a kıyasla daha riskli bir teknik görünüm dikkat çekiyor. ZEC, ağustos ayında yaklaşık 480 dolardan başlayan güçlü yükseliş hareketinin ardından kısa süreliğine 1.240 dolar seviyesinin üzerine çıktı. Son işlemlerde ise fiyat yaklaşık 1.149 dolar civarında seyrediyor. ZEC fiyatının önemli hareketli ortalamalardan ciddi şekilde uzaklaşması, olası bir düzeltme riskini artırıyor. 20 günlük hareketli ortalama yaklaşık 849 dolara yükselirken, 50 ve 100 günlük ortalamalar sırasıyla 651 ve 614 dolar civarında bulunuyor. 200 günlük ortalama ise yaklaşık 512 dolar seviyesinde.
Teknik göstergelerde en dikkat çekici sinyallerden biri RSI tarafında geliyor. Günlük RSI’ın yaklaşık 75,8 seviyesinde bulunması, ZEC’in aşırı alım bölgesinde olduğuna ve mevcut fiyatlardan yeni pozisyon açan yatırımcılar açısından risklerin yükseldiğine işaret ediyor. Olası geri çekilmede 1.080-1.100 dolar bölgesi ilk önemli destek olarak takip edilecek. Bu bölgenin kaybedilmesi halinde psikolojik 1.000 dolar seviyesi gündeme gelebilir. Satışların derinleşmesi durumunda ise 850 dolar civarındaki bölge bir sonraki güçlü destek alanı olabilir.
Ethereum 2.400 Dolar Üzerinde Tutunmaya Çalışıyor Ethereum fiyatı yaklaşık 2.459 dolar seviyesinde işlem görürken, ağustos ayında yaşanan güçlü kırılımın ardından konsolidasyon sürecini sürdürüyor. Satıcıların ETH fiyatını birkaç kez 2.400 doların altına çekmeye çalışmasına rağmen bu seviyenin üzerinde kalıcılık şimdilik korunuyor. Ethereum daha önce 1.880-1.920 dolar bölgesindeki uzun süreli yatay hareketin ardından önemli hareketli ortalamalarının üzerine çıkmıştı. Ancak ilk kırılım sonrasında işlem hacminin azalması ve RSI göstergesinin aşırı alım bölgesinden yaklaşık 60 seviyesine gerilemesi, yükseliş momentumunun yavaşladığını gösteriyor. ETH için 2.520-2.560 dolar aralığı kısa vadeli en önemli direnç bölgelerinden biri olarak öne çıkıyor. Bu bandın aşılması halinde 2.600-2.650 dolar bölgesine doğru yeni bir hareket görülebilir. Aşağı yönlü hareketlerde ise 2.400 dolar kritik destek olmaya devam ediyor.
Shiba Inu İçin 200 Günlük Ortalama Kritik Eşik Shiba Inu yaklaşık 0,00000541 dolar seviyesinde işlem görürken, ağustos ayında 0,00000440 dolar civarında gördüğü dip seviyenin ardından başlayan toparlanma eğilimini koruyor. SHIB’in daha yüksek dip seviyeler oluşturması kısa vadeli görünümü desteklese de fiyat henüz önemli bir teknik engeli aşabilmiş değil. SHIB fiyatı 0,00000517 dolar civarındaki 20 günlük hareketli ortalamanın üzerinde bulunuyor. 50 günlük ortalama yaklaşık 0,00000491 dolar, 100 günlük ortalama ise 0,00000503 dolar seviyesinde seyrediyor. Buna karşılık yaklaşık 0,00000567 dolardaki 200 günlük hareketli ortalama SHIB için ana direnç konumunda. Bu seviyenin üzerinde kalıcı bir kırılım gerçekleşmeden daha geniş çaplı trend dönüşünden söz etmek zor görünüyor. 200 günlük ortalamanın aşılması halinde 0,00000600-0,00000620 dolar bölgesi yeniden gündeme gelebilir.
Değerlendirme HYPE, ZEC, ETH ve SHIB tarafındaki teknik görünüm, kripto piyasasında yükseliş eğiliminin tamamen ortadan kalkmadığını ancak varlık bazında risklerin belirgin şekilde farklılaştığını gösteriyor. HYPE için 78-80 dolar desteğinin korunması 90 dolar ve ardından 100 dolar hedeflerini canlı tutabilirken, ZEC’in aşırı alım bölgesinde bulunması 1.000 dolara doğru olası bir düzeltme riskini artırıyor. Ethereum’da 2.400 dolar desteği yükseliş yapısının korunması açısından kritik önem taşırken, SHIB’in daha güçlü bir trend değişimi gösterebilmesi için 200 günlük hareketli ortalamasını aşması gerekiyor. Bu nedenle yatırımcıların yükseliş beklentilerinin yanı sıra kritik destek seviyelerinin kaybedilmesi halinde oluşabilecek düzeltme senaryolarını da yakından takip etmesi önem taşıyor.

Cronos, the Layer 1 network associated with Crypto.com, has released its official accounting of the August 30 attack on Tectonic. The review confirms that more than $9 million extracted during the incident remains outside the chain’s reach.
Validators later rolled the ledger back and reversed most of the damage, but assets that had already left Cronos could not be restored.
The attacker inflated the price of TONIC, Tectonic’s thinly traded governance token, then posted that inflated token as collateral.
Using the distorted valuation, the attacker borrowed about $120.4 million across nine of Tectonic’s lending markets.
The protocol’s price feed tracked the manipulated market, allowing the borrower to pull stablecoins, bitcoin, ether and other liquid assets far beyond TONIC’s real tradable depth.
Operators identified the irregular activity about 36 minutes after it started.
Validators then halted block production at height 90,907,150. After reaching consensus, they restored the chain to block 90,896,188—the last height recorded before the first malicious transactions.
That decision discarded 10,961 blocks, or one hour and 54 minutes of history.
Every transaction packed into that window, related to the exploit or not, was erased.
Balances that had remained on Cronos returned to their earlier state, reversing roughly $111.2 million of the borrowed value.
The remaining $9.19 million—about 7.6 percent of the $120.4 million total—had already been moved off the network through bridges and other outbound routes before the halt.
Those funds sit on other chains and therefore fall outside the rollback.
Cronos stated that the departed sum has not been recovered and is beyond the restoration’s reach.
The episode illustrates a hard limit of chain-level emergency measures.
A coordinated rollback can rewrite history inside one network, but it cannot reach assets once they have crossed a bridge.
Earlier on-chain estimates had placed the escaped amount closer to $6 million–$8.3 million; the official figure is now higher.
The same intervention also cancelled legitimate activity that happened to fall inside the discarded window, an unavoidable cost of resetting the entire chain rather than targeting individual addresses.
Tectonic, previously the largest lending protocol on Cronos, saw its total value locked collapse around the attack.
The network itself resumed block production later on August 30 after the pre-exploit state was restored.
Cronos has said it is coordinating with exchanges and investigators to trace the outbound transfers, but recovery of the escaped $9.19 million remains uncertain.
The case adds to a wider pattern of price-manipulation attacks against DeFi lenders that accept low-liquidity tokens as collateral.
Here, a thin TONIC market, a relatively generous collateral factor, and a price feed that followed the manipulated pool created the opening. The rapid halt limited further leakage, yet it could not close the gap left by funds that had already departed.
Swap on Monad, one of the fastest EVM chains, move assets cross-chain without a bridge, provide liquidity through Aqua and access Monad through every 1inch API.
Fast chains need fast, efficient trading infrastructure. That is why 1inch has integrated Monad, a high-performance EVM chain built around 300ms blocks, 600ms finality and fees at fractions of a cent.
What is Monad?Monad combines full EVM compatibility with a design built for high throughput. The network targets up to 10,000 transactions per second, with transactions confirming in under a second. And it already has significant DeFi activity.
As of early September, Monad held around $956 mln in TVL, while daily DEX volume ranged from roughly $200 mln to $340 mln, according to DefiLlama. Daily active addresses stood at around 22,000-27,000.
Aggregation, however, still represents only a small part of that activity. Aggregators routed around $4.6 mln-$11 mln per day, or roughly 2%-3% of total DEX volume. Some activity may be boosted by bots and incentives, but the network has already developed a sizable trading ecosystem.
Now, 1inch brings its routing and execution infrastructure to that market.
With Monad support, you can swap assets on the network directly through the 1inch dApp or 1inch Wallet.
Intent-based swaps let you specify the outcome you want while competing resolvers fill the order. For users, that means no gas fees and built-in MEV protection.
Monad already supports a broad range of assets, including:
MON and wrapped MON (WMON)Stablecoins including USDC, USDT0, AUSD, USDe and GHOMajor assets including WETH, WBTC, cbBTC and wstETHMonad ecosystem assets such as aprMON, sMON, gMON, APR and CHOGNative USDC, available through Circle CCTP, also provides a familiar stablecoin route for capital moving into and around the ecosystem.
Move assets to Monad without a bridgeGetting onto a new chain traditionally means finding a bridge, moving assets across and then opening another interface to make the trade you actually wanted.
1inch cross-chain swaps remove those extra steps.
You can swap an asset on another supported network directly for an asset on Monad in one cross-chain transaction. There is no need to interact with a traditional bridge, and the process remains self-custodial end to end.
That makes Monad accessible not only to traders already active there, but also to existing 1inch users looking to move liquidity onto the network.
One more chain, one connected DeFi experienceMonad is built around speed. 1inch makes that speed accessible across a broader DeFi environment.
Whether you are trading directly on Monad, moving assets there from another chain, providing liquidity through Aqua or adding Monad to an application through 1inch APIs, the network is now part of the same 1inch experience.
Explore Monad on 1inch.

Under the “AI crypto” label, search engines lump together networks that do not do the same job. Some sell an intelligence market, others graphics rendering, software agents, or model training.
A dated reference point to measure the gap: on July 29, 2026, Qubic put its outsourced computing offer into production on its mainnet, according to the recap the project published on August 6, 2026; that same week, the Render network completed 98.4% of its token migration to Solana. Two announcements, two distinct businesses. This article compares five networks by function, with stated criteria, rather than by market performance.
There is no single category of “AI crypto.” Qubic uses mining for model training, Bittensor runs a decentralized intelligence market, Fetch.ai develops autonomous agents, Render supplies GPU resources, and NEAR wants to become a transaction infrastructure for AI agents. Comparing them therefore depends first on the intended use, rather than on their market capitalization.
Key Points Five “AI crypto” networks compared by function, not by price: Qubic (training via mining), Bittensor (intelligence market), Fetch.ai (agents), Render (rendering and GPU compute), NEAR (L1 for agents). Qubic (QUBIC) put its outsourced computing into production on mainnet on July 29, 2026; uPoW consensus, 676 Computors (451 quorum), 15.52M TPS certified by CertiK (April 2025, test peak). Bittensor (TAO): market cap ~$3.43B (April 2026), 128 subnets capped. Fetch.ai (FET): ~$549M (April 2026), ASI rebrand still pending. Render (RENDER): ~$718.7M (August 2026), 98.4% migration to Solana. NEAR: ~$2.5B (mid-2026), “AI agents” pivot. Price and market-cap figures are dated, given as orders of magnitude, not a buy recommendation. The five criteria in this comparison None of these projects is presented here as “best.” Each is described according to five objective criteria, the same for all: the building block it occupies in the AI stack (compute, training, inference, rendering, agents), the technical mechanism that produces it, verifiable traction on a given date, dependence on another ecosystem, and known limitations.
Data self-reported by a project is flagged as such; validations from named third parties (auditors, journals, fund managers) are flagged as well. Market-cap and price figures move from one day to the next: they are dated, and serve to indicate an order of magnitude, not to recommend a purchase.
How does Qubic use mining to train AI? Building block Qubic holds a position the other four do not claim in the same way: training neural networks directly through mining work. Its consensus, Useful Proof of Work (uPoW), a variant of proof of work in which miners’ computation serves a useful task instead of solving puzzles with no other purpose, directs that power toward model training, the Aigarth project.
Mechanism The network is validated by 676 Computors, a set of nodes recomposed at each epoch based on mining performance; 451 of them must agree to validate. Qubic does not store transaction history but a balance ledger (Spectrum), in a so-called tick-based model with no virtual machine. Outsourced computing has been in production on mainnet since July 29, 2026, according to the Qubic recap of August 6, 2026 (data self-reported by the project).
Traction Qubic highlights a throughput of 15.52 million transactions per second certified by auditor CertiK. That figure dates from April 2025 and corresponds to a test peak, never to sustained daily throughput: it should be cited with that caveat. On the research side, the project claims a score of 0.28 on the ARC-AGI-3 reasoning test, up from 0.18% in July 2026; these scores are self-reported and should be checked against the official leaderboard. The related work (Multi-Neuraxon) was published in the proceedings of the AGI-26 conference by Springer and awarded at IEEE AMLDS 2026 in Osaka, two named third-party endorsements. A second halving occurred at epoch 227, on August 19, 2026, raising the token burn rate from 55% to 77.5% of the weekly emission.
Dependency Own chain (Layer 1). The bridge to Ethereum (QBridge, via Vottun) is in production; the bridge to Solana (Avicenne) has been paused since July 2026 and should not be presented as imminent.
Limitations The main documented objection concerns decentralization. Several analyses note that a fixed set of 676 Computors with a high quorum makes coordination easier but opens a risk of capture, all the more so as the project remains led by its founder and as a governance component, the Arbitrator, controls critical levers (the Computors list, network parameters). Qubic responds that the Computors are selected on merit and recomposed at each epoch, and that the Arbitrator caps at 225 the number of identities a single entity may hold. Liquidity is a second limitation: QUBIC trades mostly on mid-tier platforms, with no top-tier listing to date.
How does Bittensor and its intelligence market work? Building block Bittensor is a market: it pays out in TAO for the production of “machine intelligence,” spread across specialized subnets, each in a distinct AI task (language-model pretraining, confidential inference, data, oracles).
Mechanism Since the overhaul known as Dynamic TAO, each subnet has its own token, called Alpha, and its own liquidity pool; it is the market, not the validators, that decides through these tokens which subnets receive the most daily TAO emissions. The network caps the number of active subnets, set at 128 in early 2026, with an extension planned toward 256.
Traction As of March 25, 2026, the combined market cap of subnet tokens reached about $1.12 billion, close to 27% of TAO’s. The number of active subnets, around 32 in early 2025, quadrupled in a year. An April 2026 guide put TAO at around $317 for an indicative market cap of about $3.43 billion. Grayscale filed a Bittensor trust application, and spot TAO ETFs have been filed, with a decision expected by observers by the end of 2026.
Dependency Own chain. Bittensor is not built on another L1.
Limitations Real usefulness remains uneven from one subnet to another: several analyses note that long-term value will depend on subnets’ ability to generate sustained revenue, not just a narrative. The first emission reduction (halving) of December 2025 brought TAO’s schedule closer to Bitcoin’s, without guaranteeing demand.
What is Fetch.ai for in the AI-agent economy? Building block Fetch.ai provides autonomous economic agents, software endowed with a cryptographic identity that negotiate and transact on a user’s behalf. The project is today one of the pillars of the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI), formed in 2024 from the merger of the Fetch.ai, SingularityNET and Ocean Protocol tokens, with CUDOS as compute partner.
Mechanism The whole is anchored by the FET token. A point readers often get wrong: the ticker change from FET to ASI was proposed on a one-to-one basis, but it has not happened; as of September 3, 2026, the asset still trades under the FET ticker on major platforms. Ocean Protocol withdrew from the alliance in October 2025, leaving Fetch.ai, SingularityNET and CUDOS.
Traction As of April 1, 2026, FET was worth about $0.24 for an indicative market cap of about $549 million, down roughly 92.7% from its all-time high. Circulating supply, as of mid-2026, was about 2.26 billion tokens out of a maximum of about 2.72 billion, close to 83%. The alliance touts a product catalog (the ASI:One agentic platform, ASI-1 models, ASI:Cloud compute, the ASI:Chain chain targeted for late 2026 or early 2027).
Dependency Alliance ecosystem: the token consolidates four original communities, which is both its argument (a full stack, from model to chain) and its fragility.
Limitations The FET-to-ASI rebrand has been “pending” for more than a year, and Ocean’s departure is a reminder that “one alliance, one token” remains an unresolved coordination problem. The metrics to watch are the number of active agents deployed and the volume of paid inference, not the narrative.
Is Render a GPU rendering network or a true AI crypto? Building block Render connects creators who need graphics compute power with node operators who rent out their idle GPUs. It is, originally, a 3D rendering and visual-effects network that is extending its offer toward compute and inference for AI.
Mechanism The RENDER token pays for rendering jobs and rewards GPU providers, under a so-called Burn-and-Mint Equilibrium model: tokens are burned as jobs are executed, which ties token supply to the network’s real activity.
Traction As of August 1, 2026, RENDER was worth about $1.39 for a market cap of about $718.7 million (rank 102), down roughly 89% from its March 2024 high. The network announced in July 2026 that it had migrated 98.4% of its tokens to Solana, following a community vote initiated back in 2023. At the Breakpoint 2025 conference it presented an AI compute subnet called Dispersed, marking its extension beyond rendering.
Dependency Solana, now the token’s main chain after the migration from Ethereum (via Polygon for part of the historical path).
Limitations Graphics rendering and large-model training are not the same business: Render’s extension into AI compute is real but recent, and several analyses note that value capture by the token remains uncertain against centralized cloud providers.
Why is NEAR repositioning toward AI agents? Building block NEAR is a general-purpose Layer 1 blockchain, launched around scalability through sharding (Nightshade), that is repositioning itself as an execution layer for the “agent economy”: it wants to become the default rail for AI agents transacting across chains.
Mechanism Two building blocks carry this shift: NEAR Intents, goal-driven transactions executed across chains, and chain abstraction, which lets users manage assets on several networks without handling bridges. A “fee switch” activated in 2026 directs part of the revenue from these executions toward NEAR buybacks.
Traction As of mid-2026, NEAR showed a market cap of about $2.5 billion. The token had risen about 115% over the 90 days before the end of May 2026, driven by this AI narrative. A sign of the network’s standing in the sector: in its second-quarter 2026 rebalancing, Grayscale’s Decentralized AI fund trimmed its position but kept NEAR as its top holding, at about 31.35%, ahead of Bittensor and Render.
Dependency Own chain, with an explicitly multi-chain thesis (chain abstraction assumes routing activity from other networks).
Limitations The AI pivot is recent. A July 2026 analysis noted an average throughput of 7,000 to 12,000 transactions per day across the ecosystem’s applications: the open question is whether the “agent rail” thesis translates into measurable adoption, or remains a narrative valuation.
So which AI crypto does what in 2026? Qubic stands out for model training via mining.
Bittensor runs a decentralized market for intelligence services.
Fetch.ai develops infrastructure meant for autonomous agents.
Render mainly supplies GPU resources from its historical rendering business.
NEAR aims to provide the blockchain infrastructure that lets agents transact.

It will be about measuring how much compute, how many agents, inferences or AI services their architectures actually produce. For Qubic, one of the next verifiable points will notably be the comparison of its self-reported ARC-AGI-3 score against the benchmark’s official leaderboard.
FAQ What is Qubic's Useful Proof of Work (uPoW)? It is a consensus derived from proof of work in which miners’ computation trains neural networks (the Aigarth project), instead of solving puzzles with no purpose.
What is Aigarth? Qubic’s AI research initiative, powered by mining; it claims an ARC-AGI-3 score of 0.25% (self-reported, in strict offline mode).
Which AI crypto shows the highest throughput? Qubic highlights 15.52M TPS certified by CertiK (April 2025), but this is a test peak, not sustained daily throughput.
Bittensor or Qubic: what is the functional difference? Bittensor is an intelligence market in subnets that rewards AI production; Qubic embeds model training in the act of mining itself.
Has the FET-to-ASI token rebrand happened? No. As of September 3, 2026, the asset still trades under the FET ticker on major platforms.
Qubic or Bittensor: which AI crypto actually trains models? Qubic trains models directly in its mining: its Useful Proof of Work (uPoW) consensus directs miners’ power toward training neural networks, the Aigarth project. Bittensor, for its part, is a market that pays out in TAO for subnets producing AI work, without tying training to consensus.
What is the difference between Render and Qubic for AI compute? Render rents out idle GPU power, originally for graphics rendering, with a recent extension toward compute and AI inference. Qubic is not a rental market: its uPoW consensus embeds model training (Aigarth) in the very act of mining. Two distinct approaches to compute.
Which AI crypto specializes in autonomous agents? Fetch.ai (FET) is the project most directly specialized in autonomous agents: software with a cryptographic identity that negotiate and transact on a user’s behalf, within the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI). NEAR positions itself instead as an execution layer for these agents rather than as an agent provider.

Is Render a GPU rendering network or a true AI crypto? Building block Render connects creators who need graphics compute power with node operators who rent out their idle GPUs. It is, originally, a 3D rendering and visual-effects network that is extending its offer toward compute and inference for AI.
Mechanism The RENDER token pays for rendering jobs and rewards GPU providers, under a so-called Burn-and-Mint Equilibrium model: tokens are burned as jobs are executed, which ties token supply to the network’s real activity.
Traction As of August 1, 2026, RENDER was worth about $1.39 for a market cap of about $718.7 million (rank 102), down roughly 89% from its March 2024 high. The network announced in July 2026 that it had migrated 98.4% of its tokens to Solana, following a community vote initiated back in 2023. At the Breakpoint 2025 conference it presented an AI compute subnet called Dispersed, marking its extension beyond rendering.
Dependency Solana, now the token’s main chain after the migration from Ethereum (via Polygon for part of the historical path).
Limitations Graphics rendering and large-model training are not the same business: Render’s extension into AI compute is real but recent, and several analyses note that value capture by the token remains uncertain against centralized cloud providers.
Why is NEAR repositioning toward AI agents? Building block NEAR is a general-purpose Layer 1 blockchain, launched around scalability through sharding (Nightshade), that is repositioning itself as an execution layer for the “agent economy”: it wants to become the default rail for AI agents transacting across chains.
Mechanism Two building blocks carry this shift: NEAR Intents, goal-driven transactions executed across chains, and chain abstraction, which lets users manage assets on several networks without handling bridges. A “fee switch” activated in 2026 directs part of the revenue from these executions toward NEAR buybacks.
Traction As of mid-2026, NEAR showed a market cap of about $2.5 billion. The token had risen about 115% over the 90 days before the end of May 2026, driven by this AI narrative. A sign of the network’s standing in the sector: in its second-quarter 2026 rebalancing, Grayscale’s Decentralized AI fund trimmed its position but kept NEAR as its top holding, at about 31.35%, ahead of Bittensor and Render.
Dependency Own chain, with an explicitly multi-chain thesis (chain abstraction assumes routing activity from other networks).
Limitations The AI pivot is recent. A July 2026 analysis noted an average throughput of 7,000 to 12,000 transactions per day across the ecosystem’s applications: the open question is whether the “agent rail” thesis translates into measurable adoption, or remains a narrative valuation.
So which AI crypto does what in 2026? Qubic stands out for model training via mining.
Bittensor runs a decentralized market for intelligence services.
Fetch.ai develops infrastructure meant for autonomous agents.
Render mainly supplies GPU resources from its historical rendering business.
NEAR aims to provide the blockchain infrastructure that lets agents transact.

It will be about measuring how much compute, how many agents, inferences or AI services their architectures actually produce. For Qubic, one of the next verifiable points will notably be the comparison of its self-reported ARC-AGI-3 score against the benchmark’s official leaderboard.
FAQ What is Qubic's Useful Proof of Work (uPoW)? It is a consensus derived from proof of work in which miners’ computation trains neural networks (the Aigarth project), instead of solving puzzles with no purpose.
What is Aigarth? Qubic’s AI research initiative, powered by mining; it claims an ARC-AGI-3 score of 0.25% (self-reported, in strict offline mode).
Which AI crypto shows the highest throughput? Qubic highlights 15.52M TPS certified by CertiK (April 2025), but this is a test peak, not sustained daily throughput.
Bittensor or Qubic: what is the functional difference? Bittensor is an intelligence market in subnets that rewards AI production; Qubic embeds model training in the act of mining itself.
Has the FET-to-ASI token rebrand happened? No. As of September 3, 2026, the asset still trades under the FET ticker on major platforms.
Qubic or Bittensor: which AI crypto actually trains models? Qubic trains models directly in its mining: its Useful Proof of Work (uPoW) consensus directs miners’ power toward training neural networks, the Aigarth project. Bittensor, for its part, is a market that pays out in TAO for subnets producing AI work, without tying training to consensus.
What is the difference between Render and Qubic for AI compute? Render rents out idle GPU power, originally for graphics rendering, with a recent extension toward compute and AI inference. Qubic is not a rental market: its uPoW consensus embeds model training (Aigarth) in the very act of mining. Two distinct approaches to compute.
Which AI crypto specializes in autonomous agents? Fetch.ai (FET) is the project most directly specialized in autonomous agents: software with a cryptographic identity that negotiate and transact on a user’s behalf, within the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI). NEAR positions itself instead as an execution layer for these agents rather than as an agent provider.

India’s Financial Intelligence Unit has issued non-compliance notices to 15 crypto service providers and ordered action to take down their apps and URLs in India for operating without meeting the country’s anti-money laundering requirements.
Summary
India’s FIU issued non compliance notices to 15 offshore crypto platforms, including Weex, Blofin, WOO X and WhiteBIT. The watchdog sought takedown action against the platforms’ apps and URLs for operating without meeting PMLA requirements. Crypto platforms serving Indian customers must register with FIU IND regardless of whether they have a physical presence in the country. The action follows earlier enforcement against major offshore exchanges, including Binance, which later registered and paid a 188.2 million rupee penalty. The Financial Intelligence Unit-India said Tuesday that the notices were issued under Section 13 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, naming Weex, Blofin, Rezorex, Bitunix, DigiFinex, Toobit, XT.com, Latoken, WOO X, Pionex, ChangeNow, SimpleSwap, Fixedfloat, WhiteBIT and Guardarian.
FIU targets 15 crypto platforms over PMLA compliance Alongside the compliance notices, FIU-IND issued takedown notices covering the applications and URLs used by the 15 platforms after finding that they were operating illegally without complying with provisions of the PMLA.
The action was taken under powers linked to Section 79(3)(b) of the Information Technology Act and the Information Technology rules amended in 2025.
India brought virtual digital asset service providers under its anti-money laundering and counter-financing of terrorism framework in March 2023. The requirements apply to businesses offering crypto-to-fiat exchange, digital asset transfers, custody and other services that provide control over virtual assets.
Platforms carrying out those activities for Indian users must register with FIU-IND as reporting entities and follow requirements covering record keeping, reporting and other compliance obligations under the PMLA.
Physical presence in India does not determine whether the rules apply. An offshore company serving Indian customers can fall within the framework even if it has no office or legal entity in the country.
The latest action follows a series of measures that have expanded FIU oversight of crypto transactions. In June, the watchdog sought OTC transaction records exceeding $10,000 from at least three major exchanges, with platforms required to preserve relevant records dating back to January 2026.
The requested information included beneficial ownership details, intermediaries involved in private transactions and information about the entities behind the deals.
Earlier this year, FIU-IND tightened crypto KYC rules for service providers operating in the country. The framework included stronger identity checks, record-keeping requirements and suspicious transaction reporting obligations.
Offshore crypto activity remains under scrutiny in India The enforcement action comes days after The Economic Times reported that some Indian crypto users were moving stablecoins such as Tether’s USDT to overseas gift card services.
According to the report, platforms based in countries including Sweden, Germany and Singapore allow users to convert cryptocurrency into gift cards that can then be spent in India on goods including groceries, fuel and gold.
Such transactions can take place without users first moving their crypto through a domestic exchange, according to the report.
Offshore trading has remained a concern for Indian authorities as they try to track crypto transactions for tax and compliance purposes. In July, crypto.news previously reported that Indian tax authorities had raised concerns over trading through offshore exchanges, private wallets and peer-to-peer transactions.
India has since expanded parts of its international tax reporting framework to cover specified crypto assets, central bank digital currencies and some digital money products. Under updated tax reporting rules, financial institutions face revised account identification and tax residency verification requirements.
The measures form part of a regulatory structure in which India taxes crypto transactions while requiring platforms serving local customers to meet financial crime and reporting rules.
Crypto gains are subject to a 30% tax, while a 1% tax deducted at source applies to qualifying virtual digital asset transactions.
India has previously blocked major offshore exchanges FIU-IND used a similar enforcement route against larger offshore exchanges in December 2023, when it issued show-cause notices to nine platforms for failing to comply with the country’s registration requirements.
Binance, KuCoin, Huobi, Kraken, Gate.io, Bittrex, Bitstamp, MEXC Global and Bitfinex were among the exchanges targeted at the time.
Authorities subsequently sought restrictions on access to their websites. By January 2024, access to several exchanges had been blocked in India, while their apps faced restrictions on major mobile app stores.
KuCoin later registered with FIU-IND and resolved its earlier non-compliance after paying a penalty. Binance followed after months of regulatory discussions.
In June 2024, FIU-IND imposed a 188.2 million rupee penalty, equivalent to roughly $2.25 million at the time, on Binance for operating in India without meeting its anti-money laundering obligations.
The exchange later completed its FIU registration in August 2024 and resumed operations in India after a seven-month restriction. Its registration made the platform subject to the reporting and compliance requirements applied to other registered crypto businesses serving the country.
Bybit later went through a similar process. The exchange paid a 92.7 million rupee penalty after authorities cited persistent non-compliance and subsequently secured FIU registration.
FIU warns users about crypto and NFT risks The latest notice extends enforcement to a group dominated by smaller and medium-sized offshore platforms, including exchanges as well as services that facilitate swaps and other digital asset transactions.
FIU-IND did not announce financial penalties against the 15 companies in Tuesday’s release. Its action covered non-compliance notices and requests to take down public access to their applications and URLs.
The watchdog separately cautioned users about the risks associated with cryptocurrency products and non-fungible tokens, noting that such products remain unregulated in India.
“It is pertinent to mention for the safety and awareness of general public that the Crypto products and NFTs are unregulated and can be highly risky,” FIU-IND said. “There may be no regulatory recourse for any loss from such transactions.”
PANews, September 9 – According to CoinDesk, India's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU-IND) has issued violation notices to 15 offshore crypto platforms, accusing them of providing services to Indian clients without complying with anti-money laundering rules. The named platforms include Weex, Blofin, Rezorex, Bitunix, DigiFinex, Toobit, XT.com, Latoken, WOO X, Pionex, ChangeNow, SimpleSwap, Fixedfloat, WhiteBIT, and Guardarian. The FIU also warned the public that crypto products and NFTs are "unregulated and extremely high-risk."
In March 2023, India brought crypto platforms under the same anti-money laundering rules as banks, requiring platforms serving Indian clients to register with the FIU, maintain records, verify users, and report suspicious activities, regardless of whether they have an office in India.

Osmosis, the prominent decentralized exchange in the Cosmos ecosystem, suspended key operations for its synthetic Bitcoin asset on September 9 after an exploit on the Nomic blockchain allowed an attacker to double-spend nBTC. The exchange froze minting, redemption, deposits, and withdrawals for alloyed BTC (allBTC) while moving to contain the damage.
An emergency upgrade managed to lock 22.65 BTC in the attacker’s address before the funds could be moved. Approximately 39.84 nBTC were compromised in the incident, meaning more than a third of the asset backing that allBTC holders were counting on was suddenly in question.
What happened and how much is at stake The exploit targeted a flaw in a custom forwarding mechanism on the Nomic chain, a Cosmos-based blockchain designed to bring Bitcoin into the broader interchain ecosystem. That flaw allowed false vouchers to be created through a double-spend of nBTC, which is essentially a wrapped representation of Bitcoin living on Nomic.
Those fraudulent vouchers then made their way to Osmosis via the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol. The IBC protocol itself wasn’t compromised, and Osmosis’s own systems weren’t breached directly. The vulnerability lived upstream, on Nomic’s side.
The 39.84 nBTC affected represents roughly 36% of alloyed BTC’s total backing on Osmosis. That figure accounts for approximately 30% of the total BTC exposure across the entire exchange.
Osmosis moved quickly after detecting the issue. The team paused all inflows and outflows related to allBTC and pushed through an emergency chain upgrade. That upgrade successfully froze 22.65 BTC sitting in an address linked to the attacker, preventing further extraction of the stolen funds.
Trading of BTC in existing liquidity pools has continued despite the freeze. But the suspension of minting and redemptions effectively means no one can create new allBTC or cash out existing holdings until the situation is resolved.
The recovery plan Osmosis has outlined a two-pronged approach to making affected users whole. First, the team plans to propose a governance vote to seize the 22.65 BTC currently frozen in the attacker’s address. In the Cosmos ecosystem, governance proposals can authorize on-chain actions if enough token holders vote in favor, giving the community direct say over how stolen funds are handled.
Second, Osmosis intends to tap the community pool to cover the gap between the frozen BTC and the total amount compromised. The goal is to restore the 1:1 backing of alloyed BTC, ensuring that every synthetic Bitcoin token on the platform is fully collateralized again.
A full incident report and detailed recovery plan are expected in the coming days. The timeline for restoring normal operations, including minting and redemptions, hasn’t been specified yet.
Why cross-chain bridges keep breaking The exploit targeted Nomic’s custom forwarding mechanism, exactly the type of bespoke infrastructure that tends to harbor undiscovered vulnerabilities. The IBC protocol itself can be battle-tested over time, but the custom pieces bolted onto it often haven’t faced the same scrutiny.
Alloyed BTC on Osmosis is designed to function as a unified Bitcoin asset that aggregates multiple bridged versions of BTC into a single tradeable token. But that design also means a vulnerability in any single backing asset, like nBTC from Nomic, can compromise the integrity of the whole product. In this case, nBTC represented a large enough share of allBTC’s backing that a single exploit threatened more than a third of the asset’s collateral.
What to watch from here The immediate question is whether the governance proposal to seize the frozen BTC will pass and how quickly the community pool can cover the remaining shortfall. For Osmosis users holding allBTC, minting and redemption remain frozen, and full restoration depends on governance action and community pool funding. Trading that continues in liquidity pools provides some liquidity outlet, but it is not the same as being able to freely redeem the underlying asset.

Trump’s energy stock holdings are estimated to have risen in value by $1.5 million to $4.4 million during the Iran war period.
According to CNBC, U.S. President Donald Trump’s disclosed holdings in nine of the largest oil and gas companies are estimated to have gained between $1.5 million and $4.4 million in value between February 27 and August 31, the period on the eve of the outbreak of war with Iran. The holdings include ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Occidental Petroleum, and several refining and pipeline firms. Trump’s investment account continued trading energy stocks during the conflict. As of June 29, the account reported at least 23 sales of related stocks. On the first trading day after the March 2 U.S.-Israeli first strike on Iran, the account purchased stocks in eight oil and gas firms, including $100,000 to $250,000 worth of ExxonMobil shares. On March 23, Trump delayed strikes on Iranian energy facilities before market opening; Brent crude fell nearly 11% that day, and his account reported 16 purchases of oil and gas stocks totaling roughly $163,000 to $570,000. On April 7, the account sold $500,000 to $1 million worth of ExxonMobil shares; roughly two and a half hours later, Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran, and the stock opened more than 6% lower the next day. Since disclosure documents do not provide exact share counts, transaction prices, or sale batches, the above estimates do not represent actual realized profits or current precise holdings. CNBC also found no evidence that Trump directed the trades, had advance knowledge of relevant decisions, or used personal interests to influence policy. The White House stated that the investment portfolio is managed entirely by independent administrators.

Robinhood CEO Responds to AMC's Criticism: Publicly Listed Companies Cannot Control Financial Products Created Around Their Stocks
According to CNBC, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev responded to AMC CEO Adam Aron’s criticism of the firm’s stock token business, stating that after a company goes public, its shares become transferable property, and other financial institutions should be able to create financial products referencing those shares without obtaining the issuer’s permission. Tenev noted that public companies have the right to control their own stock issuance rights and obligations, but cannot prevent other firms from issuing securities that reference their stocks. Robinhood’s stock tokens are issued by independent entities and backed by underlying stocks, so they should not automatically require the public company’s consent. Tenev also acknowledged that stock token holders do not hold voting rights in the underlying company, as these tokens are designed as debt securities backed by the underlying stocks. When asked how Robinhood will exercise the voting rights attached to the underlying stocks, he said the company has not yet announced relevant plans.

Solana denildiğinde artık sadece bir blockchain düşünmemek gerekiyor. Özellikle son yıllarda meme coin piyasasının en önemli merkezlerinden biri haline geldi. Bunun en büyük sebebi ise işlemlerin hızlı ve maliyetlerin düşük olması. Yani insanlar birkaç dolarlık meme coin alıp satarken bile işlem ücretleri çok yüksek olmadığı için Solana üzerinde rahatça işlem yapabiliyor. Bu da küçük yatırımcının ve yüksek işlem yapan traderların Solana ekosistemine yönelmesini sağlıyor. Solana’nın resmi ekosisteminde de DeFi, oyun, AI, RWA ve farklı birçok kullanım alanı bulunuyor.
Ama Solana’nın meme coin tarafındaki önemi bence çok daha farklı. Çünkü bugün bir meme coin çıktığında, insanların ilk baktığı yerlerden biri Solana oluyor. Bunun sebebi sadece ucuz işlem ücreti değil; Solana üzerinde meme coin çıkarmak, alıp satmak ve likidite oluşturmak için çok büyük bir altyapının oluşmuş olması. Pump gibi launchpad’ler ve Raydium, Jupiter gibi işlem altyapıları bu ekosistemin büyümesinde ciddi rol oynuyor. 2026’nın ikinci çeyreğinde bile Pump tek başına Solana’daki uygulama ücretlerinin yaklaşık %38’ini oluşturmuş durumda. Yani meme coin hareketliliğinin Solana için ne kadar önemli olduğunu buradan bile görebiliyoruz.

SOL/USDT paritesi 4-saatlik grafiği. 100$ kritik direncinin üzerine attıktan sonra düşüş trendine giren SOL, 97.50$ destek bölgesini kazandıktan sonra bu alanı tekrar test etmemişti. Geçtiğimiz gün bu bölgeye bir test gerçekleştiren SOL, buradan güzel bir tepki almayı başardı. Şimdi gözler 106$ seviyesinde. Eğer bu bölgenin üzerine atmayı başarırsa, düşüş trendini de kırarak güzel bir dönüş görüntüsü oluşturabilir. Burada Solana tarafında önemli olan bir diğer konu ise meme coin piyasası. Şu anda meme coin tarafındaki hareketlilik devam ediyor. Her ne kadar mevcut hype’ın tamamı Solana üzerinde yaşanmıyor olsa da, meme coin piyasasında para döndükçe yatırımcıların yeni fırsat araması oldukça normal. Bu noktada degenlerin yeniden Solana ekosistemine yönelmesi ve Solana üzerindeki meme coinlerde hareketliliğin artması mümkün. Solana’nın meme coinler için düşük işlem maliyeti ve hızlı işlemler sunması da bu ekosistemin hâlâ en güçlü taraflarından biri.
Bu nedenle meme coin tarafındaki hype’ın Solana’ya da sıçraması durumunda $SOL’un bundan pozitif etkilenmesini bekleyebiliriz. Zaten Solana, meme coin tarafında hâlâ en çok ilgi gören ekosistemlerden biri. Teknik tarafta ise 106$ üzerindeki hareket bizim için önemli olacak. Bu bölgenin kazanılması ve düşen trendin kırılması halinde SOL’un yeniden güç kazandığını görebiliriz. Böyle bir senaryoda ilk önemli hedef bölge olarak 130$ seviyesi karşımıza çıkıyor. Özellikle meme coin piyasasındaki hareketliliğin Solana ekosistemine taşınmasıyla birlikte bu yükselişin desteklenme ihtimali bulunuyor. Ancak 106$ kazanılmadan önce yükseliş başladı demek yerine, bu bölgenin gerçekten destek haline gelip gelmediğini takip etmek daha sağlıklı olacaktır.

Key Takeaways Apple shares declined to approximately $319 in advance of the September 9 “Surprise and Shine” product unveiling Bank of America maintains a Buy recommendation with $380 target; KeyBanc holds Sell rating at $250 The company is anticipated to introduce its inaugural foldable iPhone Ultra with pricing expected to exceed $2,000 Analysts view potential price hikes as inevitable, with KeyBanc characterizing them as a “negative catalyst” Consensus Wall Street rating stands at Moderate Buy with mean price target of $337.55, suggesting approximately 5% potential gain Shares of Apple dipped to roughly $319 on Tuesday as investors anticipate the tech giant’s highly anticipated “Surprise and Shine” showcase scheduled for September 9 at its Cupertino, California headquarters.
Apple Inc., AAPL
Industry observers are paying particular attention to this unveiling. The event represents the inaugural major product introduction under newly appointed CEO John Ternus, who assumed leadership on September 1. Former CEO Tim Cook has transitioned to the position of executive chairman.
The upcoming announcement is poised to become one of the company’s most significant product reveals in recent memory.
Bank of America Securities maintained its Buy recommendation on the technology company with a $380 target price. Shares are currently exchanging hands at $320, translating to a market capitalization of $4.67 trillion and a price-to-earnings multiple of 36.92.
BofA anticipates the company will introduce three new smartphone models: the iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, and its debut foldable device, possibly branded as the iPhone Ultra or Fold. The Pro variants are projected to retain their 6.3 and 6.9 inch screen dimensions and operate on the advanced 2nm A20 Pro processor.
The foldable iPhone Ultra is projected to showcase a book-style configuration featuring a 5.5 inch exterior OLED screen and a 7.8 inch interior panel, 12GB of memory, and storage capacities reaching 2TB. Citi projects the base price will surpass $2,000. All three devices are anticipated to run iOS 27.
The company is also anticipated to forego releasing a standard base iPhone model this generation as it continues its shift toward premium offerings to enhance profit margins.
KeyBanc Warns of Pricing Concerns KeyBanc analyst Brandon Nispel confirmed his Sell recommendation on September 4 with a $250 target, suggesting roughly 24% downside from current trading levels. He contends that price escalations will either diminish unit volume or create challenges for future profitability decisions.
Nispel characterized the upcoming event as “a likely negative catalyst” for shares, irrespective of how Apple approaches its pricing framework.
DA Davidson analyst Gil Luria similarly expressed reservation, sustaining a Hold recommendation with a $270 target. He highlighted concerns about potential revenue contraction next year should the foldable device and widespread price adjustments fail to resonate with buyers.
Company Guidance Misses Expectations The financial context surrounding the event carries its own challenges. In July, management projected Q4 revenue ranging from $111.7 billion to $113.7 billion, falling short of the Street consensus of $114.95 billion. The shortfall was attributed to elevated memory costs stemming from component supply constraints.
App Store income in Q4 fiscal 2026 climbed to $6.3 billion, though growth registered merely 0.1% year over year. Evercore ISI additionally observed a 1% year-over-year decrease in App Store revenues for August.
Bank of America indicates it interprets App Store metrics as a generally positive indicator. DA Davidson highlighted the company’s strengthened AI capabilities as justification for measured optimism surrounding the foldable product launch.
Beyond the smartphone portfolio, the company may also present Apple Watch Series 12, Ultra 4, AirPods 5, a refreshed Apple TV 4K, and an updated HomePod mini.
Among Wall Street professionals, 31 analysts assign AAPL a Moderate Buy consensus, comprising 16 Buy ratings, 11 Hold ratings, and four Sell ratings. The mean price objective stands at $337.55.

INJ‘nin arkasındaki Injective projesi aslında blockchain üzerinde finans işlerini yapmayı kolaylaştırmaya çalışıyor. Yani merkeziyetsiz borsa, vadeli işlemler, gerçek dünya varlıkları ve farklı finans uygulamalarını tek bir ekosistemde toplamayı hedefliyor. Bu da projeye sadece bir coin olmaktan daha fazlasını katıyor.
INJ tarafında bence en dikkat çekici konulardan biri arz yapısı. Piyasaya sonradan gelecek büyük miktarda token baskısı bulunmuyor. Bunun yanında ağdan elde edilen gelirlerin bir kısmıyla INJ geri alınıp yakılıyor. Yani proje büyüdükçe piyasadaki INJ miktarını azaltmaya yönelik bir sistem de bulunuyor. Bu durum uzun vadede token için önemli bir avantaj olabilir.

INJ/USDT paritesi günlük grafiği. 4$ desteğinden tepki aldıktan sonra yükseliş yaşayan INJ, ilk direnç seviyesi olan 6.13$ bölgesinden ret aldı. Bu ret sonrasında destek bölgesine kadar geri çekilen INJ, buradan aldığı tepkiyle yeniden yükselişe geçti ve 6.13$ bölgesini günlükte kazanmayı başardı. Artık önümüzdeki ilk hedef bölgesi 7$ olarak karşımıza çıkıyor. Bu bölgedeki likiditeyi almak için yükselişin devamını görebiliriz. Ancak paritenin şu an geldiği seviyeler yeni alım yapmak için oldukça pahalı. Bu nedenle son tepe yükselişini başlatan 5.14$ bölgesi, hem daha uygun fiyatlı hem de güçlü alıcıların bulunduğu bir alan olması nedeniyle olası geri çekilmelerde alım için takip edilebilir.

With AI and big data tokens experiencing renewed capital rotation, Injective is pumping. In fact, after successfully holding $5.3, Injective finally reclaimed and flipped $6 resistance.
In doing so, the altcoin jumped to a three-month high of $6.7. As of this writing, Injective traded around $6.39, marking a 13.15% surge on the daily charts.
The price hike was supported by a 172% surge in trading volume, reflecting increased capital deployment and market activity.
Injective’s staked supply hit ATH Although capital rotation into AI coins is a major sector-wide boost, Injective is experiencing its own motivating factors. For starters, altcoin’s strong jump seems driven by rising demand from stakers and reduced supply.
As such, Injective reached a new all-time high in total tokens staked. Reportedly, over 58.8 million INJ tokens worth approximately $370 million are now staked on-chain.
Source: Injective This jump in the amount of INJ staked made Injective one of the leading L1 chains by total staked supply.
With almost 59% of the supply already staked, tokens available for immediate selling have plunged extensively, with only 34 million INJ in circulation.
Such a significant drop in supply has increased scarcity, which often strengthens tokens and leads to more gains.
INJ goes live on Robinhoodcrypto Additionally, INJ went live on Robinhood Crypto, thus expanding Injective’s user base. With the integration, Injective posited that millions of users will now easily access the INJ ecosystem for its on-chain markets, RWAs, and tokenized stocks.
As Injective expands its market reach, the network activity is growing, especially driven by real-world asset tokenization. As a result, Injective is one of the leading chains in tokenization.
The chain has now tokenized over $1 billion in residential mortgage records. Also, Injective seeks to migrate over $10 billion in assets in the coming months.
Can the rally continue? With market supply reducing, Injective’s upside pressure is emerging as dominant. For instance, INJ currently sits above the least squares moving averages, a clear sign of this bullish dominance.
Source: Tradingview At the same time, the altcoins’ Relative Strength Index (RSI) has held on an upward trajectory for four days, rising to 70. At these levels, RSI suggests bulls have total dominance of the market.
Often, such a setup has preceded some gains on the price charts. Therefore, if current conditions persist, Injective will close above $6.7 and eye a move past $7.
Source: CoinGlass However, the recent price hike attracted profit-taking, which presents a pullback risk. Since INJ reclaimed $5 four days ago, Netflow has held positive, rising to $1.8 million.
Increased profit taking explains why the upside is slowing down, and if it continues, a drop below $6 will follow, with $5.6 as support.
Final Summary INJ soared 13%, flipped $6 resistance, and climbed to a three-month high of $6.7 before a slight retrace. Injective reached a new ATH in INJ staked, with $58.8 million worth approximately $370 million staked on-chain.

Why Native USDC Matters for InjectiveThe Kraken integration builds on a broader shift for Injective that began in May 2026. , giving the network a regulated dollar asset issued directly by Circle rather than through a bridge.

According to GMGN market data, the Solana-based meme coin CATE has rebounded to a market cap exceeding $50 million, currently trading at $51.54 million, with a 24-hour increase of over 99% and a 24-hour trading volume of $12.8 million. Earlier on July 26, Atsuko Sato, owner of Kabosu—the Shiba Inu that inspired the Doge meme—posted a video of a kitten. The community quickly launched the token on Pump.fun, positioning it as "the successor to Doge / the cat version of Doge" to carry on the meme culture of "dogs came first, now it's the cats' turn". Subsequently, Atsuko Sato clarified in a post that the CATE tokens circulating in the recent market have no connection with her at all. She stated that she only shared a moment on Instagram before, but this content was later used without authorization by others, who took advantage of it to issue fake tokens and create the illusion of a link with her. She expressed regret over this, noting that some accounts involved in spreading related information even include users with considerable influence on the X platform. BlockBeats reminds users that most meme coins have no practical use cases and feature highly volatile prices, so investment requires caution.

HONG KONG, September 8th, 2026 — Liquidity Arena 2026, an AI quantitative trading competition organized by global institutional prime broker LTP, will enter its dual-track main competition on September 9, bringing together AI developers, research teams, hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, high-frequency trading teams, and professional traders.
The competition has attracted more than hundreds of teams across its two tracks. During Track A Phase 1, held from July 20 to August 21, participating AI agents executed more than 70,000 trades. Thirty teams advanced to the final stage.
Two Tracks, Different Measures of Trading PerformanceBeginning September 9, Liquidity Arena will run two distinct tracks designed for different types of trading talent and strategies.
Track A — Logic FrontierTrack A enters its final stage with the 30 teams that advanced from Phase 1.
Designed for AI developers, agent builders, universities, research labs and professional traders, Logic Frontier goes beyond conventional PnL-based competition. Teams are required to use LTP’s RapidX environment, while the competition incorporates MCP-based Reasoning Log verification to examine how autonomous agents interpret market information and make trading decisions.
The competition therefore evaluates not only trading outcomes, but also the reasoning quality, consistency and market interpretation behind those decisions.
The core question is no longer simply who makes the most money? — but how reliably can an autonomous trading system reason and perform under changing market conditions?
Track B — Liquidity ProLaunching on September 9, Track B is designed for hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, HFT teams and professional traders.
Liquidity Pro puts the emphasis on performance, capital capacity, execution quality and slippage control. Teams can deploy their strategies through flexible trading infrastructure, including DMA, RapidX and other supported venues.
The objective is straightforward: prove that a strategy can perform effectively in live market conditions while managing execution and scale.
Registration for Track B remains open until 23:59 GMT+8 on September 23, 2026.
More Than $300,000 in Total Prize ValueLiquidity Arena 2026 features a total prize pool of more than $300,000, combining cash rewards with AI incentives, institutional trading benefits, partner products and career opportunities.
The reward structure includes:
$100,000+ in cash prizes for the top three teams in each track
AI agent credits and token incentives to support AI usage and reward outstanding performance
LTP VIP trading tiers and clearing-fee benefits for eligible teams after the competition
Products and benefits from sponsors and ecosystem partners
Career opportunities, including internship opportunities from LTP and additional opportunities from partners
The goal is to create a reward ecosystem that extends beyond the competition itself — giving high-performing teams access to capital-efficient trading infrastructure, technology, ecosystem resources and potential career opportunities.
Institutional-Grade Infrastructure and Global EcosystemLiquidity Arena is organized by LTP, with AWS and Calais serving as co-organizers. MiniMax, SoSoValue and AIVIX support the competition across AI, market data and analytics. 1ndex by 1Token serves as an Ecosystem Engine Partner, while Amsterdam Investment Club and THEO QUANT are Community Partners.
The competition is also supported by more than 20 academic and institutional partners and more than 20 media partners.
During the competition, LTP provides the institutional-grade trading infrastructure and operational support for participating teams. Teams will test and evaluate their strategies in trading environments designed to reflect market conditions, where performance is influenced not only by theoretical returns or backtested results, but also by liquidity, execution quality and slippage.
For AI-focused teams, the environment provides a setting to evaluate autonomous reasoning and decision-making in financial market scenarios. For professional quantitative teams, it provides a framework for assessing strategy performance under practical considerations, including capital scale, market impact and execution costs.

After a 20% weekly rally, Onyxcoin has lost its momentum even though it is still holding most of the rally. On the 4th of September, the price surged from roughly $0.0033 to $0.0048 alongside its trading volume, which reached its strongest level in weeks.
However, on the 4-hour chart, the long upper wick indicates that sellers absorbed that demand. This shift prevented Onyxcoin [XCN] from holding its high near $0.0048.
Interestingly, the price has slipped back to $0.00398, leaving it below the $0.00425 area that previously capped the late-August rally.
Can Onyxcoin hold $0.004? Source: TradingView Another rejection at $0.00425 could confirm that buyers still lack enough momentum to sustain a breakout. That weakness was already visible in the RSI. The indicator fell from above 80 during the surge to 49.84.
Declining Trading Volume showed participation had cooled while XCN consolidated around $0.0040.
Holding this zone could preserve a higher base and offer buyers another attempt at $0.00425. A breakout could reopen $0.0048, where September’s selling emerged.
However, losing $0.0032 would erase the breakout structure and return XCN to its previous range. Sellers would then regain control.
XCN’s hold near $0.0040 now puts OIP-4 in focus as the market looks for support beyond the September rally. The proposal secured 1.303 billion XCN votes, easily surpassing the 200 million quorum, with virtually no opposition.
Once executed, Onyx gains Chain Technology’s payment, wallet, card, account, and settlement infrastructure. In other words, this gives Onyx ready-made technology for its planned blockchain-based neobank.
As a result, this shortens the development path for new financial services.
Source: X Notably, the proposal’s progress coincided with XCN rising from roughly $0.0032 toward $0.0045 before cooling near $0.0040. This suggests traders welcomed the acquisition, although the pullback shows approval alone has not sustained the rally.
Attention now shifts toward integration. Successful deployment through Onyx Wallet could expand XCN utility and provide a stronger reason for demand to persist. Without working products, however, price could remain dependent on short-term expectations.
Can XCN break above $0.00416? With OIP-4 approaching execution, XCN needs renewed buying to keep September’s recovery alive.
XCN must first reclaim the $0.00403–$0.00416 resistance zone.
A breakout backed by stronger Trading Volume and rising Spot CVD could open $0.0045–$0.0048. By contrast, failure to hold $0.00388–$0.00390 could expose $0.00370–$0.00373.
Network activity and product adoption may decide whether speculative interest develops into lasting demand.
