HPC submits a legal brief supporting the dismissal of the CME v. CFTC case, arguing the lawsuit could hinder innovation in U.S. perpetual futures.
Hyperliquid Policy Center (HPC) has filed an amicus curiae brief with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, urging the court to dismiss the lawsuit brought by CME against the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The brief was submitted on behalf of Elizabeth Prelogar, former U.S. Solicitor General at law firm Cooley. In May this year, the CFTC approved Kalshi’s launch of Bitcoin perpetual contracts as futures products on its U.S.-regulated trading platform, and confirmed that other U.S. derivatives exchanges could also offer similar digital asset contracts. CME later filed the lawsuit, seeking to overturn the regulator’s decision. HPC contends that CME cannot demonstrate the CFTC’s ruling caused it actual harm, thus failing to meet the standing requirement under Article III of the U.S. Constitution. Furthermore, the Commodity Exchange Act is intended to promote responsible innovation and fair competition among exchanges, and CME’s effort to block rivals from launching new products falls outside the scope of protection provided by this law. HPC adds that the case’s outcome could also affect the entry of perpetual contracts and on-chain platforms like Hyperliquid into the U.S. regulatory system.

LAPTOP's fully diluted valuation (FDV) has fallen below $2 billion, plunging more than 99% from its all-time high.
According to GMGN data, the Meme coin LAPTOP FDV, issued by U.S. President Biden’s son, hit a peak fully diluted valuation (FDV) of over $300 billion within two hours of its launch, then slumped to $18 billion, representing a roughly 99.43% decline, with a trading volume of $9.6 million.
Venice Token (VVV), kripto piyasasının genelinde sınırlı hareket görülürken dikkatleri üzerine çekti. Token birkaç saat önce 30 dolar seviyesine yaklaşarak yeni tüm zamanların en yüksek değerini gördü. Ardından bir miktar geri çekilen VVV, yaklaşık 25,60 dolardan işlem görürken son 24 saatte %42 yükseldi.
Bu hareket VVV’nin piyasa değerini de 1,2 milyar doların üzerine taşıdı. Token böylece Pi Network (PI) ve Arbitrum (ARB) gibi daha büyük isimleri geride bırakarak piyasa değeri sıralamasında 68. sıraya yükseldi.
Ancak sert yükselişin ardından piyasada yeni bir soru ortaya çıktı: VVV’nin önünde hâlâ yükseliş alanı var mı, yoksa kâr alma zamanı mı geldi?
VVV Neden Bir Anda Yükseldi? VVV‘deki sert hareketin arkasında projenin son duyurularından biri bulunuyor.
Venice AI ekibi, toplam 391.000 dolar değerinde VVV yakıldığını açıkladı. Bu, projenin şimdiye kadar tek seferde yakım adresine gönderdiği en yüksek miktar olarak öne çıkıyor.
Venice platformunun kullanım ve sermaye varlığı olarak tanımlanan VVV’nin toplam arzı yaklaşık 80,97 milyon adet. Bunun yarısından fazlası ise dolaşımda bulunuyor.
Yakım işlemi, piyasadaki token arzını azaltan bir mekanizma olduğu için yatırımcıların ilgisini yeniden artırmış olabilir.
VVV İçin Yeni Hedef Nerede? Yükselişin ardından bazı analistler hareketin henüz bitmediğini düşünüyor.
Crypto With Gopal, VVV’nin 23 dolar direncinin üzerine güçlü biçimde çıkmasının yükselişin devamı açısından önemli olduğunu belirtti. Analiste göre alıcılar şu anda piyasada kontrolü elinde tutuyor ve bir sonraki önemli seviye yaklaşık 29,20 dolar.
Bu seviyenin kalıcı şekilde aşılması halinde VVV’nin yeni bir yükseliş dalgasına girebileceği değerlendiriliyor.
OxNeena ise tokenin büyük bir harekete hazırlandığını ve yükseliş sürerse 30 doların üzerine çıkabileceğini savunuyor.
Nebraskangooner de mevcut grafiği güçlü biçimde yükseliş yönlü görüyor. Analistin takip ettiği bir sonraki Fibonacci dirençleri ise yaklaşık 27 ve 35 dolar seviyelerinde.
VVV İçin Risk Nerede Başlıyor? Ancak tüm analistler yükselişin peşinden gitmenin doğru olduğunu düşünmüyor.
Crypto Patel, VVV’nin yükselişini dikkat çekici bulsa da mevcut seviyelerde kârın bir bölümünü korumanın daha mantıklı olabileceğini belirtiyor.
Patel, yüksek risk almak isteyen yatırımcıların küçük bir kısmını pozisyonda tutarak yükseliş ihtimalini değerlendirebileceğini, ancak yaklaşık %1.600’lük hareketin ardından elde edilen kârı korumanın önem kazandığını söylüyor.
Burada teknik göstergeler de risk tarafını destekliyor.
VVV Aşırı Alım Bölgesine Mi Girdi? VVV’nin RSI göstergesinin 80 seviyesinin üzerine çıkması, yükselişin kısa vadede fazla hızlandığına işaret ediyor. Ancak bu tek başına düşüş yaşanacağı anlamına gelmiyor.
VVV’nin bundan sonraki hareketinde asıl soru, yeni bir zirvenin gelip gelmeyeceğinden çok yükseliş momentumunun korunup korunamayacağı olacak. Çünkü token bir yandan güçlü alıcı ilgisiyle rekor kırarken, diğer yandan aşırı alım bölgesine girmiş durumda.
Dolayısıyla VVV için önümüzdeki hareket, yükselişin devamından çok bu yükselişin ne kadar sağlıklı sürdürülebileceğini gösterecek.
VVV’de Şimdi Ne Olacak? VVV’nin 30 dolara yaklaşarak yeni rekor kırması, tokeni kısa sürede piyasanın dikkat çeken altcoinlerinden biri haline getirdi. Fakat yükselişin bundan sonraki aşaması, artık yalnızca yakım haberine değil, alıcıların direnç bölgelerinde ne kadar güçlü kalacağına bağlı.
Bir tarafta 29,20, 30 ve 35 dolar gibi yukarı yönlü seviyeler bulunuyor. Diğer tarafta ise RSI’ın aşırı alım bölgesine girmesi, sert yükselişin ardından kâr satışlarının gelebileceğini gösteriyor.
Bu nedenle VVV için bundan sonraki hareketi belirleyecek asıl soru, yeni bir rekorun gelip gelmeyeceğinden önce mevcut yükselişin ne kadarının korunabileceği olacak.

Arkham Intelligence just made its API significantly faster. The blockchain analytics firm announced that its API now delivers real-time address intelligence updates to all users, meaning new, altered, and updated intelligence data arrives within minutes rather than through the delayed batch processes that previously defined the experience.
The upgrade applies automatically to every existing API subscriber. No migration, no toggle, no extra fee. If you were already plugged in, you’re already getting the faster feed.
What actually changed The core of Arkham’s product is its Ultra AI-powered address-matching engine, which connects blockchain addresses to real-world entities. The engine has labeled billions of tags and tracked over $1 trillion in flows, according to the company.
Now those intelligence changes stream out in near real-time. It’s worth distinguishing this from Arkham’s existing WebSocket endpoint, which already supported real-time streaming of raw blockchain transfers. This upgrade specifically accelerates the intelligence and labeling layer, the part where raw on-chain data gets translated into actionable context about who is doing what.
A steady cadence of API improvements This isn’t a standalone announcement so much as the latest in a series of API expansions Arkham has rolled out over the past several months. The full Intel API launched on February 17, 2026, giving developers programmatic access to Arkham’s intelligence database for the first time at scale.
In June, Arkham integrated Risk Scores into the API as a subscription add-on. That feature assigns addresses a score from 0 to 100 based on their exposure to illicit activity.
Then in August, Arkham added x402 support for AI agents, allowing autonomous systems to interact with and pay for API queries.
Why low-latency intelligence matters now For compliance teams, regulators expect exchanges to screen transactions in near real-time. If a wallet is flagged as high-risk and that flag takes hours to propagate through your data pipeline, you’ve got a window where illicit funds could move through your platform undetected. Shrinking that window from hours to minutes is a meaningful reduction in regulatory risk.
Arkham competes in a crowded blockchain analytics space alongside firms like Chainalysis, Elliptic, and TRM Labs. Chainalysis has long dominated the government and law enforcement segments. TRM Labs has carved out a niche with financial institutions. Arkham’s differentiator has been its consumer-facing platform and its open intelligence marketplace, which lets anyone contribute and access entity labels.
What to watch The automatic rollout to all existing subscribers removes a common friction point where upgrades require manual migration or tier changes. The Risk Scores feature is already a paid add-on, and future enhancements could follow the same model.
Disclosure: This article was edited by Editorial Team. For more information on how we create and review content, see our Editorial Policy.
The Arkham API address intelligence updates feed is now real-time.
GET /intelligence/addresses/updates now reports new, updated, and deleted address intelligence within minutes of the change, instead of once per day.
A few more detailed highlights:
Deposit address detection, verified contract labels, token and NFT labels, deployer labels, and analyst-curated labels now flow through the moment they're identified.Cursor-based pagination is safe to resume at any time. Pagination performance is also significantly improved for consumers sweeping large time windows.As part of this upgrade, the metrics object (balance, volume, transfer counts) and the orderBy options for those fields have been retired from this endpoint. All filters (chain, entity, tag, label, status, and more) are unchanged.Much of Arkham's intelligence has always been generated in real time. Now our API reflects that.

Kaspa [KAS] extended its rally with a 12% surge to $0.034, outperforming a largely flat cryptocurrency market.
Capital rotation toward altcoins supported the move. CoinMarketCap’s Altcoin Season Index nearly doubled to 43 during September. At 43, however, the rotation remained in its early stages.
Source: CoinMarketCap That left Kaspa approaching resistance with a stronger market backdrop and an important macroeconomic deadline ahead.
Can KAS reclaim $0.0357? The daily chart placed KAS below a resistance cluster stretching from $0.0357 to $0.0385.
Flag resistance intersected a previous swing high near $0.0376, creating a technical confluence zone. Because KAS traded at $0.034, the $0.0357 level had become its first reclaim target. A sustained move above it could restore pressure on $0.0376 and later $0.0385.
By contrast, another rejection could keep KAS inside the flag structure and weaken its breakout attempt.
Source: TradingView The technical path looked clear. The timing introduced the larger uncertainty.
Will CPI disrupt KAS’s breakout? The breakout attempt arrived before the U.S. Consumer Price Index release scheduled for the 11th of September. Inflation data could shift risk appetite and increase cryptocurrency market volatility.
Meanwhile, Kaspa [KAS] Trading Volume surged 363% over 24 hours to $52.02 million.
Source: Santiment The increase showed that market participation expanded alongside price. Its timing coincided with pre-CPI positioning, while the data left traders’ motives unclear.
If altcoin rotation continues, reclaiming $0.0357 could open the path toward $0.0385. However, a hotter-than-expected CPI reading could pressure risk assets and interrupt the breakout. A softer reading may give KAS buyers more room to challenge resistance.
KAS now faces two tests: reclaim its technical levels and survive the approaching macroeconomic volatility.
Final Summary Kaspa surged 12% to $0.034 as capital rotated toward altcoins. The Altcoin Season Index nearly doubled to 43 during September. KAS must first reclaim $0.0357 before challenging $0.0376 and $0.0385.

Can DOGEBALL reach its stated $0.015 launch price? The target is possible, but not assured.
Summary
DOGEBALL is priced at $0.0077 in Stage 20, with more than $315,000 raised from over 1,080 participants. The project has set a $0.015 exchange launch price, nearly 95% above its current presale price. DOGEBALL plans to build token demand through DOGEPAY, gaming and its EVM compatible Layer 2 network. The team says 4 billion DOGEBALL tokens, equal to 20% of the original presale allocation, were burned in May. SUI has gained about 13% over seven days as interest in its price outlook and other crypto opportunities picks up. Crypto news today shows Bitcoin near $80,000 and Sui near $0.82, making Sui (SUI) price prediction and next popular crypto searches more active. DOGEBALL enters that conversation.
DOGEBALL launched as a presale ecosystem linking gaming, payments, and a custom Ethereum Layer 2. SUI has gained about 13% in seven days, while DOGEBALL reports Stage 20 progress. This report reviews price outlooks, market momentum, utility, risks, and upcoming product releases.
What is the SUI price forecast for 2026, 2027-2030? The SUI coin price is near $0.82, up about 3% over 24 hours and 13% over seven days. Recent SUI news shows stronger trading activity, but price still faces a key test near $1.05. Holding $0.66 matters. A break above $1.05 could improve the near-term SUI price forecast.
For SUI price prediction 2026, 2027-2030, one recent model puts 2026 between $0.563 and $3.51, then gives a 2030 range of $8.88 to $36. Those estimates are highly uncertain. Network growth may help, while higher token supply and broad market weakness could pressure price. It remains a high-risk asset.
DOGEBALL targets two real problems: slow crypto cash-outs and costly global payouts. DOGEPAY is designed so a sender uses crypto while the receiver gets fiat in a bank account. The project says it will support 30+ currencies, zero FX fees, and same-day or near-instant settlement. DOGEPAY is still marked “Coming Soon,” so delivery matters.
The $DOGEBALL token is meant to pay network fees across payments and gaming. If DOGEPAY and the game gain real users, repeated transactions could create token demand. That is why Sui (SUI) price prediction interest and the search for the next popular crypto may bring attention to DOGEBALL, but attention alone cannot support price.
DOGEBALL’s latest project figures put the presale at Stage 20, priced at $0.0077, with more than $315,000 raised and over 1,080 participants. The stated exchange launch price is $0.015. That sits about 95% above the presale price, but liquidity, selling pressure, and demand will decide whether the market holds it.
DOGEBALL MetricReported FigurePresale stage20Current price$0.0077Raised$315K+Participants1,080+Stated launch price$0.015BonusDB75 for 75% bonus tokens Supply changes matter too. The team says it burned 4 billion DOGEBALL tokens on May 11, 2026, equal to 20% of the original 20 billion presale allocation. Timed stages last up to seven days, and unsold tokens are set to be burned. Lower supply may help scarcity, but demand is still essential.
Key catalysts now include:
DOGEBALL V2 is planned for release on the website, with DB75 running until release. The game has a reported $1 million prize pool, including up to $500,000 for the top player. DOGEPAY is planned after exchange trading begins, with a specialist Web3 company expected to support exchange launches. DOGECHAIN also supports the price case. The project describes it as an EVM-compatible Ethereum Layer 2 built for fast, low-cost transactions. Its test network can already be added to wallets. The project also says Coinsult gave its smart contract a 100% audit score. An audit can reduce some code risk, but it never removes market or execution risk.
What is the DOGEBALL price prediction for 2026? A cautious DOGEBALL price prediction works best in scenarios. A weak launch could send price toward $0.004 to $0.008 if sellers dominate. A balanced case sits near $0.010 to $0.018 if liquidity stays stable. Strong game use, DOGEPAY delivery, and exchange demand could support $0.02 to $0.05. These are estimates, not promised outcomes.
Could Sui (SUI) price prediction trends and the next popular crypto search favor DOGEBALL? SUI has deeper liquidity and live trading history, while DOGEBALL is still in presale. SUI’s outlook depends on holding support and expanding network use. DOGEBALL’s outlook depends on product delivery, exchange liquidity, DOGEPAY adoption, and whether gaming activity turns into steady token use.
DOGEBALL has a clear utility plan, a reported token burn, and a busy product calendar. SUI has stronger market depth but faces price risk too. Both remain volatile. Community Members should verify contracts, audits, token terms, and launch details before making any financial decision.

Flare Networks co-founder Hugo Philion has responded to concerns about FXRP after Ripple engineer Neil Hartner raised questions about the security of blockchain bridges.
Notably, the discussion followed a security incident involving Liquid Network’s Liquid BTC. The company said hackers withdrew about 4,000 BTC, worth roughly $320 million at the time, from the Liquid Federation wallet.
Hartner responded to the incident by saying, “Bridges are hard.” Meanwhile, Flare promoter Hussein Badakhchani replied that Flare had “fixed” the problems associated with bridges.
However, Hartner responded by saying, “I think of this often,” while referencing a 2024 warning that there are essentially two types of bridges: those that have already been hacked and those that will eventually be hacked.
Giving a subtle jab at Flare, founder Philion joined the conversation.
Philion Defends FXRP Security Philion said it was “super depressing” to see comments from key Ripple figures that appear to ignore concerns important to XRP holders and the Flare ecosystem.
He said comments from well-known Ripple figures could make the XRP community think that Ripple is against Flare and FXRP. Philion stressed that this is not the case.
He then explained why he believes FXRP was built with security in mind. According to Philion, most of the XRP used in FXRP is protected through XRPL Escrow, the same system Ripple uses to hold its large XRP reserves.
He said XRPL Escrow has safely held large amounts of XRP for years, so the likelihood of a major, undiscovered security flaw is relatively low. Philion added that if XRPL Escrow itself had a serious security problem, it would affect much more than just FXRP.
FXRP Limits Potential Losses Philion also explained what could happen if FXRP were hacked. He said that if an attack occurred, most of the XRP held in escrow would be moved to a custodian for protection. The remaining XRP, usually less than 20%, is backed by additional collateral in stablecoins and FLR.
The idea is to limit how much money an attacker could steal.
Philion said FXRP was designed to keep the amount of funds at risk as small as possible. This means that even if a security breach occurred, the losses would be much smaller than those seen in some major bridge hacks.
Ripple Engineer Clarifies His Comments Meanwhile, Hartner later said Philion had misunderstood his earlier comments. He explained that his main concern was the long history of bridge hacks. Because of this, he believes users should be “hyper-vigilant” when using any bridge.
Hartner also said he was not suggesting that Flare is careless about security. Instead, he was warning that saying a bridge has “fixed” its security problems could make users overly confident.
You’re misreading me. Given how many bridges have been hacked over the years, users should approach all of them with hypervigilance. My worry is that framing any bridge as having “fixed it” breeds complacency. Not saying that Flare itself is complacent or lax on security.

Beating AI Insight News: OpenAI releases ChatGPT Images 2.5. Compared to its predecessor, the new version cuts image generation latency by up to 50%, and better preserves the appearance and details of people and pets when editing photos. Editing is also more user-friendly: users can directly circle a specific area in an image and instruct ChatGPT on changes, such as replacing just one petal or modifying a single object’s color. When making multiple consecutive edits, it is less likely to alter unrelated areas by accident. ChatGPT now also supports drawing sketches to control composition, and has added common image templates for posters, merchandise, and more. Images 2.5 is now available to ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work, and Codex users. Two API versions, Flare and Sunburst, are also launched. Flare is faster, ideal for bulk image generation; Sunburst is more precise, suited for scenarios with higher visual standards. In the latest Arena benchmark, Sunburst ranks first and Flare ranks second, with both models taking the top two positions across all three categories: text-to-image, single-image editing, and multi-image editing.
The Flare [FLR] Improvement Proposal (FIP) 16 passed earlier this year in April with 98.06% in favor. The proposal restructured FLR issuance, burn rate, transaction fees, and protocol revenue.
Most of the roadmap is live, and a DeFiLlama report shows the effects onchain. The Layer 1 EVM chain’s token issuance fell from 5% to 3% in May. Flare Network now has 21 billion FLR staked, up from 16 billion tokens in July.
The staked share of staked-or-delegated FLR climbed from 32% in July to 46% in late August, securing the network and removing tokens from immediate circulating supply. Moreover, after the July 14 hard fork, the current burn rate has increased at least tenfold.
Lower inflation and a burn rate orders of magnitude higher than a few months ago, combined with growing protocol revenue, were good news for users and holders. How has FLR price reacted to these developments?
The weekly Flare crypto chart outlines a clear price trend Source: FLR/USDT on TradingView The Flare crypto price trend has been bearish and has seen sliding prices since late September. Its weekly swing structure turned bearish in December 2025 after FLR slipped below the $0.0121 low.
The RSI has remained below neutral 50 since October 2025. Meanwhile, the OBV has continued its persistent downtrend. Neither the downward momentum nor steady selling pressure has reversed.
The $0.00725 level acted as support in April. Flare is now testing that former support as resistance.
Traders’ call to action- Respect the long-term trend Source: FLR/USDT on TradingView The drop from $0.00829 to $0.00585 in recent months marked the latest swing move on the daily timeframe. In August, FLR twice rallied to the $0.0080 area, just above the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.00776.
Twice, the bulls faced rejection. Since the high of $0.00825 made on the 31st of August, FLR is down by 20.9%. The technical indicators were not in favor of the bulls either.
It appeared likely that the higher timeframe trend would be respected, and Flare crypto would descend toward new lows.
The growing adoption and encouraging onchain signs seen earlier could lead to a sentiment turnaround. A price move above $0.00829 would break the bearish structure and serve as the first sign of a bullish trend shift.
Final Summary The FIP 16 passed in April with resounding support. Most of the roadmap is now live, and the effects are visible onchain. At the same time, the Flare crypto long-term price trends remained bearish.
A Token in Freefall@Coredao_Org's native $CORE token has been one of the worst-performing assets in crypto this year. , shortly after the network launched. What makes the 2026 slide particularly striking is the speed of the decline. The token has shed roughly 95% of its value this year alone,
The crash did not happen in isolation.
More recently, the project faced an additional operational test.
Is There a Case for Recovery?Despite the bruising price action, the project's 2026 roadmap outlines a meaningful shift in tokenomics. In plain terms, instead of relying on token burns, the protocol plans to use operating income to buy $CORE from the open market, creating more direct demand.
The underlying technology also gives the project a credible angle. That mechanic is designed to create structural demand for the token as Bitcoin staking activity grows.
Sentiment, however, remains cautious. Whether the token can stage a meaningful recovery will likely depend on whether real on-chain revenue materialises to back those commitments.

Insight Beating AI News: Business Insider interviewed eight current and former Google employees, uncovering that Gemini’s de facto command center is a pantry on the second floor of Google’s Mountain View headquarters. Once home only to a coffee machine, fridge, and snacks, the space now features a ring of desks. Core members including Google co-founder Sergey Brin, Google DeepMind head Koray Kavukcuoglu, and Google CEO Sundar Pichai—who visits several times weekly—regularly work here, with employees referring to it informally as “Sergey’s Mini Kitchen.” Brin, who holds no formal management role, can bypass Google’s complex approval processes in his capacity as a founder. For the Gemini team, applying for chips like TPUs via standard channels requires submitting paperwork and securing senior-level sign-off; approaching Brin at the pantry offers a far more direct route. Brin also directly weighs in on discussions about model scale, release timelines, and AGI roadmapping, and Gemini’s programming task force has set up desks adjacent to his. A former employee described Brin’s approach as running Gemini like a startup. This year, Brin pushed to use software to record the programming workflows of some Google employees, with the data leveraged for reinforcement learning to boost Gemini’s coding capabilities. Last year, he directly halted Jeff Dean’s Frozen chip project, which was later revived as Frozen v2.
Chime Financial just decided to stop renting and buy the house. The publicly traded neobank announced on September 8 that it will acquire Stride Bank, N.A. for $590 million in cash, with plans to rebrand the institution as Chime Bank, N.A. once the deal closes.
The move transforms Chime from a fintech that relies on partner banks to process its transactions into something closer to a full-fledged bank, at least structurally. Stride has been Chime’s banking partner for over seven years, so this is less of a blind date and more of a long-overdue marriage.
The math behind the deal The $590 million price tag works out to roughly 1.5 times Stride’s tangible book value. Chime expects the acquisition to generate more than $100 million in net synergies. The savings come from two main sources: eliminating the sponsor bank fees Chime currently pays, and expanding its lending product suite with direct control over a bank charter.
The deal is structured as an all-cash transaction and is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings per share.
Chime also bumped its financial outlook alongside the announcement. Full-year 2026 revenue guidance now sits at $2.76 to $2.77 billion, representing 26% to 27% year-over-year growth. Adjusted EBITDA guidance climbed to between $481 million and $489 million. Investors noticed: Chime’s stock (NASDAQ: CHYM) rose approximately 6% in after-hours trading following the news.
Why Stride, and why now Stride Bank, founded in 1913 and headquartered in Enid, Oklahoma, is the kind of institution that most consumers have never heard of but millions have unknowingly used. As Chime’s banking partner, Stride has been the entity that technically holds customer deposits and issues Chime-branded debit cards.
One strategic detail stands out. Chime plans to keep Chime Bank’s assets below $10 billion. That threshold matters because of the Durbin Amendment, a provision of the Dodd-Frank Act that caps debit card interchange fees for banks with more than $10 billion in assets. Banks below that line collect higher fees per swipe.
Chime will also continue its relationship with The Bancorp Bank, N.A. for the time being, suggesting the transition to full in-house banking will be gradual rather than an overnight switch.
The regulatory path to closing this deal runs through the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve. Chime expects approvals to land in the first half of 2027.

Key Highlights Chime Financial has agreed to purchase Stride Bank for $590 million in an all-cash transaction, anticipated to finalize in early-to-mid 2027. Following the acquisition, Stride Bank will rebrand to Chime Bank, N.A. and function as a fully owned subsidiary. Shares of Chime surged 10% during after-hours trading immediately after the deal was made public. UBS analysts increased their CHYM price target from $28 to $31 while keeping a Neutral stance. The fintech firm anticipates approximately $100 million in combined net synergies, driven largely by reduced sponsor bank expenses. Chime Financial has announced the acquisition of Stride Bank, an Oklahoma-based financial institution with 113 years of history, in a $590 million all-cash transaction. This strategic move marks Chime’s transformation from a fintech partner to a full-fledged banking entity.
Chime Financial, Inc. Class A Common Stock, CHYM
Following Tuesday’s announcement, shares of Chime experienced a 10% surge in after-hours market activity. Trading at approximately $32.31, the stock has appreciated around 20% since its June 2025 initial public offering at $27 per share.
Once the transaction concludes, Stride Bank will undergo a rebranding to Chime Bank, N.A., continuing operations under Chime’s complete ownership.
Rather than pursuing a de novo charter application, Chime opted for the acquisition route. Company executives characterized this approach as “a faster and more proven path to full-stack ownership.”
The partnership between Chime and Stride spans over seven years, during which Stride has supplied the banking infrastructure supporting Chime’s checking account products and related financial services.
This transaction merges Chime’s innovative consumer technology and its ChimeCore proprietary platform with Stride’s federal banking charter, established deposit network, and regulatory compliance framework.
Financial benefits from the merger include the elimination of third-party sponsor bank expenses and reduced capital costs. Chime’s management forecasts net synergies totaling approximately $100 million from the combined operations.
The company has committed to maintaining total assets under the $10 billion mark post-acquisition. This regulatory threshold distinguishes community banking institutions from their larger counterparts.
Analyst Perspective UBS adjusted its CHYM price objective upward to $31 from the previous $28 target following the acquisition news, though analysts retained their Neutral rating. Current trading levels have already exceeded this revised target.
Wolfe Research boosted its price projection to $32 with an Outperform rating intact, citing Chime’s strong second-quarter performance and upgraded annual projections.
Loop Capital launched coverage with a Buy recommendation and $45 price objective, highlighting competitive advantages such as early wage access and debit card incentive programs.
Goldman Sachs noted positive adjustments to revenue and earnings forecasts for Chime as part of a wider reassessment of fintech sector companies.
Financial Performance and Future Direction Chime has revised its annual revenue forecast to a range of $2.76 billion to $2.77 billion. Adjusted EBITDA projections fall between $481 million and $489 million for the year.
Prior to this announcement, the company implemented workforce reductions affecting 10% of employees during summer months as part of an organizational restructuring initiative. CEO Chris Britt explained the decision as a step toward creating a more efficient operation leveraging artificial intelligence capabilities.
Additionally, Chime has disclosed interest in incorporating stablecoin technology into its consumer banking offerings and has solicited proposals for stablecoin wallet service providers.
The acquisition remains subject to regulatory clearance and is projected to complete during the first six months of 2027. Chime’s current market valuation stands at approximately $12.23 billion.

Euro-denominated stablecoins reached a total supply of $848.1 million as of September 7, according to Token Terminal. This marks an increase of 22.6% since January 1, when the supply was $691.7 million. In absolute figures, euro stablecoins added approximately $156 million this year.
Dollar supply remains dominantOver the same period, stablecoins pegged to the US dollar saw a similar net addition of $159 million, rising from $298.54 billion to $298.699 billion. Despite the nearly identical net new supply, the scale of the two markets is sharply different. Dollar-pegged stablecoins are roughly 350 times larger than their euro equivalents.
Currently, US dollar stablecoins account for 99.5% of the global market share, while euro stablecoins hold 0.3%, placing them a distant second in the stablecoin market.
Stablecoin typeMarket shareSupply (as of Sep 7)YTD supply growthDollar-based99.5%$298.7 billion+ $159 millionEuro-based0.3%$848.1 million+ $156 millionMarket concentration among euro stablecoinsThe euro stablecoin sector is highly concentrated among a few issuers. EURC holds a 62.6% market share, while EURCV controls 19.6%. Together, these two tokens represent more than 82% of the total euro stablecoin supply. EURI and EURe account for 4.5% and 3.9%, respectively, and the remaining 22 assets combined contribute just under 6%.
EURCV’s position is particularly noteworthy. This stablecoin is issued by SG-Forge, a digital assets subsidiary of Société Générale—a major European bank. SG-Forge operates as an electronic money institution authorized by the French financial regulator ACPR, under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. As a result, a licensed European bank subsidiary now issues roughly one fifth of the entire euro stablecoin market. By contrast, the US dollar stablecoin sector continues to be dominated by Tether and Circle, with no direct bank-backed competition of this scale.
Mini dictionary: MiCA, or Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, is a comprehensive regulatory framework developed by the European Union to oversee the issuance and operation of crypto-assets, including stablecoins, across EU member states.
EURC and EURCV control a combined 82% of the euro stablecoin market, showing a high level of issuer concentration compared to the more fragmented landscape of other stablecoin sectors.
Ethereum leads euro stablecoin networksGrowth within the euro stablecoin sector is largely taking place on Ethereum. Since the beginning of the year, euro stablecoin supply on Ethereum grew from $463.4 million to $588.7 million, adding $125 million and now commanding 69.4% of the market. Solana follows with a 14.7% market share, increasing from $94.9 million to $124.9 million over the same period. Combined, these two networks absorbed most of the euro stablecoin sector’s annual growth.

Meanwhile, Gnosis increased its euro stablecoin supply to $22.3 million, and BNB Chain grew from $4.1 million to $10.4 million.
Supply outpaces demandLegal clarity from MiCA has allowed European banks and licensed electronic money institutions to issue euro stablecoins. However, overall user demand for these tokens remains limited. Offshore demand for dollar-backed stablecoins still far exceeds the appetite for euro-denominated alternatives. In Europe, where users already hold euros directly, demand for euro stablecoins in decentralized finance (DeFi) lending pools and as collateral remains low.
Due to this dynamic, current growth in euro stablecoin supply is being driven mainly by issuers, rather than underlying user demand.
New compliant issuance is landing where institutional liquidity already sits, but user adoption continues to lag behind supply.
TLDR Euro stablecoin supply reached $848.1 million, rising about 22.6% since January 1. Euro stablecoins added roughly $156 million in 2026, nearly matching dollar stablecoins’ $159 million increase. Dollar stablecoins still dominate with a 99.5% market share, compared with 0.3% for euro stablecoins. EURC and EURCV control about 82% of the euro stablecoin market. Ethereum holds 69.4% of euro stablecoin supply, while Solana accounts for 14.7%. Euro stablecoins recorded steady growth in 2026, even as dollar-based stablecoin supply remained almost unchanged. Token Terminal data shows euro-denominated stablecoin supply reached $848.1 million on September 7, up from $691.7 million on January 1. That marks growth of about 22.6% this year.
The figures show that euro-denominated tokens added supply at a pace that stands out against a much larger dollar market. The comparison does not change the dollar sector’s dominant position, but it shows that most new net issuance this year came from two very different currency markets.
Euro Stablecoins Gain Supply Share Euro stablecoins added about $156 million in net supply during the first eight months of 2026. Dollar stablecoins added about $159 million over the same period, rising from $298.54 billion to $298.699 billion.
The two markets remain far apart in size. Dollar stablecoins control about 99.5% of total stablecoin supply, while euro stablecoins account for about 0.3%. Even so, both markets added almost the same amount of new supply this year.
EURC remains the largest euro stablecoin, with a 62.6% market share. EURCV follows with 19.6%. Together, the two assets account for about 82% of the total euro-denominated stablecoin supply.
EURI holds 4.5%, while EURe controls 3.9%. More than 20 other euro tokens share less than 6%. SG-Forge, a Société Générale subsidiary, issues EURCV under European regulatory approval tied to MiCA rules.
Ethereum Captures Most New Issuance Ethereum recorded the largest increase in euro stablecoin supply. Its total rose from $463.4 million in January to $588.7 million in September. The network now holds 69.4% of the euro stablecoin market.
Solana also expanded, rising from $94.9 million to $124.9 million and reaching a 14.7% share. Base fell from $73.9 million to $58.7 million, while Gnosis and BNB Chain posted smaller gains. Liquidity remains concentrated on Ethereum and Solana, where most of the euro stablecoin supply increase has taken place during 2026.
Dollar stablecoin supply changed little during the same period. The segment moved from about $298.5 billion in January to $298.7 billion in September, an increase of only 0.05%.
Euro stablecoins therefore gained supply in a stable overall market. European rules have also created a clearer path for banks and licensed electronic money firms to issue tokens. However, trading and DeFi demand for euro-denominated assets remains smaller than demand for dollar-based stablecoins.
ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood has pointed to Bitcoin’s resurgence relative to gold, describing its latest performance as “very reassuring.” In the firm’s September market commentary, Wood remarked that Bitcoin still has “miles to go” as it develops into a fully recognized monetary system and maturing asset class. ARK also noted that Bitcoin is finally breaking out compared to gold.
BTC-Gold Ratio Surges to Multi-Year HighThe ratio measuring how much gold one Bitcoin can purchase reached approximately 18, its highest point since January. This indicator reflects Bitcoin’s growing strength compared to the traditional store of value. Over the past month, Bitcoin posted gains of about 22%, while spot gold advanced around 2%.
Bitcoin’s purchasing power relative to gold is rising, signaling a shift in investor preference toward the cryptocurrency as a high-growth monetary asset, according to ARK Invest.
The BTC-gold ratio gauges the relative returns of the two assets. As the ratio climbs, Bitcoin outpaces gold not just in price, but in its ability to buy gold itself, highlighting a widening performance gap between the digital and physical assets.
Asset1-Month ChangeLatest HighBitcoin+22%$82,000Gold+2%N/AWood’s position comes as Bitcoin remains below its recent peak. On Tuesday, BTC traded near $78,000, after briefly surpassing $82,000 last week.
Institutional Demand ContinuesDemand from institutional investors has remained robust. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recently recorded nearly $1 billion in combined weekly inflows, according to ARK’s commentary. This suggests ongoing interest from large investors, even amid heightened price fluctuations.
These flows indicate institutions are steadily adding exposure. Wood and ARK attribute part of Bitcoin’s continued strength to this growing adoption within professional portfolios.
Correlation vs. Relative PerformanceOne recent complication involves rising correlation between Bitcoin and gold. Short-term market data show the 90-day BTC-gold correlation at its highest point in several years. This means the two assets have been moving more closely together in the market.
However, ARK’s analysts emphasized that a stronger correlation does not undermine the fact that Bitcoin is outpacing gold. While both assets can rise simultaneously, the BTC-gold ratio tracks which is moving faster. At present, Bitcoin is gaining ground more quickly.
This dynamic remains especially relevant as investors seek both assets as hedges against fiscal instability, currency depreciation, and global uncertainties.
Mini dictionary: BTC-gold ratio, a metric showing how much gold can be purchased with one Bitcoin. A rising ratio indicates Bitcoin is gaining value faster than gold, reflecting its outperformance as an asset.
Long-Term OutlookCathie Wood’s position aligns with her consistent bullish stance. ARK maintains a 2030 base-case target for Bitcoin at around $730,000, founded on forecasts of greater institutional participation and Bitcoin’s expanding share in global investment portfolios.
ARK’s long-term forecast suggests a significant increase from current prices, requiring substantial market growth for Bitcoin to achieve these levels.
Currently, Bitcoin’s immediate signal is more straightforward: it is pulling ahead of gold, for now, in both purchasing power and institutional momentum. Should the BTC-gold ratio remain elevated or continue to climb above 18, Wood’s thesis of Bitcoin emerging as a superior growth asset could further strengthen.
A pending exemptive application would let ARK Venture Fund record ownership of a new share class using distributed ledger technology and trade it on registered ATS venues. Hearing requests are due Sept. 18.
ARK Investment Management has asked the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for permission to issue a share class of its venture fund whose ownership is recorded using distributed ledger technology, according to an application on file with the agency. The SEC published notice of the request on Aug. 24 and set a Sept. 18 deadline for hearing requests, after which it can grant an order.
ARK is pursuing the tokenized class through the standard exemptive application route rather than waiting on the tokenization relief the SEC has signaled but not issued. The application asks for no relief on the blockchain mechanics themselves, stating in a footnote that the applicants "are not seeking exemptive relief with respect to whether or how distributed ledger technology is used by a Fund to maintain a record of its shareholders."
The applicant is ARK Venture Fund, a continuously offered closed-end interval fund that held $562 million in total assets as of Jan. 31, according to its semi-annual report. Its existing Class D, Class S and Class U shares priced at $49.83, $49.69 and $49.70 as of May 15, for an aggregate non-affiliate market value of about $912.6 million. The fund is separate from the $6.55 billion ARK Innovation ETF, which sits in another registrant, ARK ETF Trust.
Two New ClassesARK and the fund filed the application on May 20 and amended it on June 11 and Aug. 7 under file number 812-16031. It would amend a prior order granted in November 2025 that permitted multiple share classes. The application for that order, ARK writes, "included a representation that '[s]hares of the Funds will not be listed on any securities exchange, nor quoted on any quotation medium.'"
The amended order would create two classes. An Exchange Class would list on a national securities exchange. A Tokenized Class would have ownership "recorded using distributed ledger technology" and could trade on alternative trading systems registered under Regulation ATS, on other quotation mediums, or through peer-to-peer transfers between whitelisted wallets. ARK is not seeking relief to list or quote the tokenized shares on decentralized finance platforms.
Tokenized Class shares would be issued through the fund's subscription process at net asset value, sold without a sales load, and distributed either by registered broker-dealers or directly by the fund's transfer agent. The class would carry its own costs, including transaction fees on share sales, repurchases and dividend distributions. ARK seeks relief under sections 6(c), 18 and 17(d) of the Investment Company Act and under Rules 23c-3 and 17d-1. Dechert is counsel on the application.
No Vendor NamedThe application does not name a tokenization provider, a transfer agent or a blockchain, referring only to "tokenization agents" and "the Fund's transfer agent" as expense categories. The Bank of New York Mellon is the fund's current transfer agent, administrator and custodian, according to the semi-annual report.
ARK Venture Fund holds equity in Securitize, which went public on the NYSE in July, alongside a $10 million convertible note at 5% due September 2028 that it acquired on Sept. 30, 2025. Securitize is the transfer agent for BlackRock's tokenized BUIDL fund and has signed tokenization deals across registered products.
Rules Still PendingThe regulatory framework ARK's tokenized class would operate under remains unfinished. The SEC has not adopted or formally proposed the tokenization "innovation exemption" that industry has expected, and The Defiant has reported on repeated delays to it. Chair Paul Atkins' Regulation Crypto Assets proposal of Aug. 18 covers offering exemptions for crypto asset issuers, not tokenized fund share classes, and is open for comment until Oct. 20.
The SEC on Sept. 1 also proposed its first overhaul of transfer agent rules in roughly four decades, citing the use of "blockchain technology in connection with securities offerings and the transfer of shares." That proposal, which The Defiant covered on publication, takes comments until Nov. 3.
ARK Investment Management has asked the SEC to let it issue a new class of shares in its venture fund with ownership tracked on a distributed ledger. If approved, it would make ARK one of the first US fund managers to offer tokenized shares through a regulated structure, potentially beating heavyweights like BlackRock and Fidelity to the punch.
The firm filed its application on May 20, 2026, later amending it on June 11 and August 7. The SEC published formal notice of the request in the Federal Register on August 26, kicking off a comment and hearing period that is expected to run through mid-September 2026.
What ARK is actually asking for ARK wants to amend a prior exemptive order it already holds under the Investment Company Act. The existing order allows the ARK Venture Fund to operate with multiple share classes and early withdrawal charges. The new request would add a “Tokenized Class” alongside the fund’s current “Exchange Class” shares, which trade on national securities exchanges.
The Tokenized Class would record share ownership using distributed ledger technology. These tokenized shares would be eligible for trading on SEC-registered alternative trading systems. Peer-to-peer transfers between approved wallets would also be permitted, though every wallet involved would need to clear KYC and AML checks.
The ARK Venture Fund in context The ARK Venture Fund launched in 2022 as an interval fund focused on both public and private companies in the innovation economy. ARK’s version targets quarterly repurchase offers at roughly 5% of net asset value, with a minimum investment of just $500.
The fund also has skin in the tokenization game beyond just issuing shares. As of late 2025, ARK held approximately $10 million in Securitize, a platform that specializes in tokenizing real-world assets.
Why this could reshape fund distribution Right now, buying and selling shares of interval funds or other semi-liquid vehicles is clunky. You’re often locked into the fund manager’s repurchase schedule, and secondary trading options are thin. Tokenized shares trading on registered ATS platforms would create a proper secondary market, giving investors a way out between those quarterly windows.
If the SEC grants this exemptive relief, it essentially creates a regulatory template. Other fund managers, including the BlackRocks and Fidelitys of the world who have been circling the tokenization space, would have a clear path to follow.
A deadline for hearing requests is anticipated around mid-September 2026. If no hearing is ordered, the SEC could act on the application relatively quickly after that. If a hearing is called, the timeline stretches considerably.

Andy, founder of Rollup, published a post stating that market rumors suggest the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing to roll out its largest-ever tokenization innovation exemption policy. The policy would potentially allow tokenized securities to trade exclusively through registered transfer agents, eliminating the need for broker-dealer licenses or compliance with rules for traditional trading platforms or alternative trading systems (ATS), and is reportedly set to cover U.S. retail investors and overseas participants. Andy noted that if the news is true, the potential impact would be significant. Tokenized funds could be issued and traded directly as on-chain tokens, with transfer agents maintaining legal ownership records on-chain. Meanwhile, underlying assets held by funds—such as stocks and bonds—could also be further tokenized, forming an on-chain trading system of "fund tokens + underlying asset tokens". Andy further added that a major fund has received the SEC's "green light", though this has not been officially confirmed. He speculated that potential participants could include ARK, Fidelity, or BlackRock. If the policy is ultimately implemented, U.S. asset management firms may accelerate the issuance of native equity tokens to compete for round-the-clock liquidity and on-chain distribution channels, rather than waiting for third parties to mirror-tokenize traditional securities. He further linked this potential policy shift to recent moves by the Trump administration to open up crypto market regulation and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)’s push to bring perpetual contracts into the U.S. market, suggesting that the U.S. regulatory environment may be gradually opening the policy gates for on-chain finance.

ARK Investment Management has asked the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to approve a tokenized share class for its $562 million venture fund, allowing ownership records to be maintained using distributed ledger technology.
Summary
ARK has asked the SEC to approve a tokenized share class for its $562 million venture fund. The shares could trade through registered ATS platforms or between approved wallets, with ownership recorded using distributed ledger technology. ARK has not named a blockchain or tokenization provider for the proposed share class. The SEC has set Sept. 18 as the deadline for hearing requests before it can act on ARK’s application. According to an application filed with the SEC, ARK Venture Fund wants to add a Tokenized Class alongside a new Exchange Class by amending an exemptive order the regulator granted in November 2025. The SEC published notice of the request on Aug. 24 and set Sept. 18 as the deadline for requests for a hearing.
ARK filed the original application on May 20 before submitting amendments on June 11 and Aug. 7 under file number 812-16031. The filing seeks relief under sections 6(c), 18 and 17(d) of the Investment Company Act, along with Rules 23c-3 and 17d-1.
The proposal would give the two new classes different routes for secondary trading. Exchange Class shares could list on a national securities exchange, while ownership of Tokenized Class shares would be recorded through distributed ledger technology.
Tokenized shares could trade through alternative trading systems registered under Regulation ATS, other quotation mediums or peer-to-peer transfers between approved wallets. ARK is not asking the SEC for permission to list or quote the shares on decentralized finance platforms.
ARK tokenized share class would use existing fund structure ARK is seeking approval through the SEC’s existing exemptive application process while the agency continues working on separate rules that could govern tokenized securities.
The firm made clear that its application does not seek regulatory relief for the technology used to maintain its shareholder records. In a footnote, the applicants said they “are not seeking exemptive relief with respect to whether or how distributed ledger technology is used by a Fund to maintain a record of its shareholders.”
ARK Venture Fund operates as a continuously offered closed-end interval fund and reported $562 million in total assets as of Jan. 31. Its existing Class D, Class S and Class U shares were priced at $49.83, $49.69 and $49.70, respectively, as of May 15, with an aggregate non-affiliate market value of approximately $912.6 million.
The venture fund is separate from ARK’s better-known ARK Innovation ETF, which had $6.55 billion in assets and operates through ARK ETF Trust.
Under the proposed structure, investors would receive Tokenized Class shares through the fund’s normal subscription process at net asset value. The shares would carry no sales load and could be distributed by registered broker-dealers or directly through the fund’s transfer agent.
Costs associated specifically with the class would remain with its shareholders. The filing identifies potential transaction expenses tied to share sales, repurchases and dividend distributions.
The application would amend ARK’s November 2025 exemptive order, which allowed the fund to maintain multiple share classes. The earlier application contained a representation that fund shares would neither be listed on a securities exchange nor quoted on a quotation medium, requiring ARK to return to the SEC before introducing the proposed trading arrangements.
ARK has not selected a blockchain or tokenization provider No blockchain, tokenization provider or new transfer agent has been identified in the application. The filing refers generally to “tokenization agents” and the fund’s transfer agent when discussing expenses associated with the proposed class.
The Bank of New York Mellon currently serves as ARK Venture Fund’s transfer agent, administrator and custodian, according to the fund’s semi-annual report.
ARK already has a financial connection to tokenization company Securitize through the venture fund. The portfolio holds Securitize equity and a $10 million convertible note carrying a 5% interest rate and maturing in September 2028. The fund acquired the note on Sept. 30, 2025.
Securitize has expanded its institutional tokenization business this year. In August, the company launched a tokenized high-yield fund with Neuberger that invests mainly in high-yield bonds while offering interests across Avalanche, Ethereum, Solana and Sui.
The company serves as the transfer agent and tokenization platform for BlackRock’s BUIDL fund and has continued adding institutional products to its infrastructure. ARK has maintained exposure to the company as its tokenization business has expanded, while Hanwha Group became its largest shareholder in July after its combined holdings reached 9.6%.
ARK’s application does not state whether Securitize would have a role in the proposed Tokenized Class.
SEC tokenization rules remain under development The filing arrives before the SEC has completed a separate regulatory framework for tokenized securities trading.
An innovation exemption discussed by SEC Chair Paul Atkins has yet to take effect. The proposed approach is expected to let selected firms test blockchain-based securities products under defined conditions while permanent rules are developed.
As crypto.news previously reported, the SEC was preparing a regulatory route in August that could permit qualified platforms to trade tokenized U.S. stocks around the clock. Existing federal securities rules remain applicable while the exemption is unfinished.
Progress on the exemption has faced delays. Legal questions over the SEC’s authority and concerns from traditional market participants delayed the planned framework in August, with questions centered on how blockchain-based trading would interact with existing securities market rules.
Atkins separately introduced a Regulation Crypto Assets proposal on Aug. 18. The proposal addresses exemptions for crypto asset issuers but does not establish rules specifically for tokenized investment fund share classes. Public comments on the proposal are due Oct. 20.
ARK’s application therefore relies on the existing Investment Company Act process instead of requiring the unfinished innovation exemption to become effective.
SEC is rewriting transfer agent rules for blockchain records Regulators are separately examining the infrastructure that maintains official securities ownership records.
On Sept. 1, the SEC proposed a transfer agent overhaul covering registration, recordkeeping, transfer processing and asset safeguarding. It is the agency’s first major attempt in roughly four decades to rewrite the rules governing registered transfer agents.
The proposal specifically addresses the use of blockchain technology in securities offerings and share transfers. Transfer agents using digital records would face requirements covering recordkeeping systems, cybersecurity, business continuity and the use of outside technology providers.
The rulemaking comes as firms are testing ways to connect blockchain settlement with regulated shareholder records. Injective said in July that it had sought SEC transfer agent registration to maintain tokenized securities ownership records on blockchain infrastructure, although a public SEC filing supporting the registration claim had not been located at the time.
Comments on the SEC’s proposed transfer agent overhaul are due Nov. 3. ARK’s Tokenized Class application has a separate Sept. 18 deadline for hearing requests, after which the commission can issue an order on the requested exemptive relief.

Bonk Guy is turning bullish on Solana, as the network has started proactively supporting its on-chain community.
Prominent crypto trader Bonk Guy has stated in a post that his stance on Solana and its associated ecosystem is gradually shifting from bearish to bullish. Previously, he argued that Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain would likely outperform Solana in the current cycle, and has written a related analysis that remains unpublished. The shift stems mainly from Solana’s recent renewed focus on its on-chain meme trading communities, core team members reaching out to him proactively, and the Solana official account and co-founder Toly beginning to publicly engage with ecosystem projects including STONK and USELESS. He views this as a sign that Solana is becoming more proactive in supporting projects and communities that drive ecosystem growth. Bonk Guy emphasized that he has never questioned Solana’s technology and infrastructure, but rather the ecosystem culture and the impact of some profit-seekers on users. Given the recent developments, he has submitted his original bearish analysis to the Solana team, and noted that if the analysis is later made public, he will add more context and details about his stance on Solana.

On the "Niulai" Profit Ranking, the total profit of a single cryptocurrency has exceeded $2 million.
According to GMGN monitoring, the token Niu Lai saw a short-term 40% surge driven by news of its listing on Binance spot trading, with its market cap temporarily standing at $120 million. The address ranking first in on-chain profits currently holds approximately 13.51 million Niu Lai tokens, valued at around $1.576 million, accounting for 1.35% of the total token supply. The address’s cumulative profit is roughly $2.026 million, including about $606,000 in realized profit and $1.42 million in unrealized gains. It has previously sold a total of around 11.59 million tokens.
Key Highlights Shares of RKLB advanced more than 3% during Wednesday’s pre-market session, building on Tuesday’s 2.51% increase. The aerospace company introduced its IMM Apex solar cell technology, boasting 31.5% efficiency while achieving a 40% reduction in weight compared to earlier models. By eliminating germanium substrates from its design, the innovation addresses supply chain vulnerabilities and cost concerns. On September 8, ARK Invest acquired 2,341 shares of RKLB, adding to more than $44 million in purchases made during the previous week. Analysts maintain a Strong Buy rating on RKLB, with a consensus price target of $108.88, suggesting approximately 65% potential upside. Shares of Rocket Lab experienced an approximate 3.1% increase during Wednesday’s pre-market hours, following Tuesday’s regular session close at $65.87, which represented a 2.51% gain. The pre-market momentum stems from two significant company developments that have captured investor attention.
Rocket Lab USA, Inc., RKLB
The primary catalyst involves a groundbreaking product release. Rocket Lab has introduced the IMM Apex, representing its latest-generation solar cell technology designed specifically for space operations. This advanced cell achieves 31.5% Beginning of Life conversion efficiency while delivering a 40% weight reduction versus predecessor models.
The distinguishing characteristic lies in its substrate-free architecture. By eliminating germanium substrates—a component that has been standard in conventional multi-junction solar cells for more than thirty years—Rocket Lab addresses concerns about dependence on a critical material experiencing escalating costs and supply chain disruptions.
Another advantage of the IMM Apex involves its compatibility design. The technology functions as a direct drop-in replacement for current satellite solar cells, enabling customers to implement the upgrade without significant hardware modifications, thus simplifying the transition process.
Brad Clevenger, President of Rocket Lab USA, noted that the cell “delivers exceptional performance while addressing real-world challenges like rising material costs and supply chain constraints.”
ARK Invest Continues Accumulation Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest expanded its Rocket Lab holdings on Tuesday, September 8, acquiring 2,341 shares via the ARK Space Exploration and Innovation ETF (ARKX) in a transaction valued at approximately $155,000.
This purchase follows a substantially larger buying spree. ARK accumulated over $44 million in RKLB shares across three exchange-traded funds on August 31 and September 1, establishing Rocket Lab as the firm’s largest disclosed equity addition by dollar value during that period.
These acquisitions position Rocket Lab among ARK’s most significant recent investments, complementing the firm’s strategic moves into financial technology, biotechnology, and cryptocurrency-related holdings.
Solid Operational Performance Supports Investment Thesis Rocket Lab’s solar technology portfolio carries substantial credibility in the industry. The company’s IMM platform has provided power for NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter and currently supports over 1,100 satellites in operation, including the renowned James Webb Space Telescope.
The organization successfully executed its 94th Electron mission in the past week, launching a satellite for Synspective and achieving its 15th launch milestone of 2026.
From a financial perspective, Rocket Lab delivered $234.1 million in second-quarter revenue, representing a 62% year-over-year expansion. The company’s contract backlog reached an all-time high of $2.36 billion.
RKLB currently maintains a market capitalization of $39.42 billion and has appreciated 38% during the trailing twelve-month period, although the stock remains down 13.32% on a year-to-date basis.
The equity trades within a 52-week range spanning from $37.57 to $151. Current technical indicators show an RSI reading of 40.94.
Based on data from TipRanks, RKLB maintains a Strong Buy consensus rating derived from 13 Buy recommendations and four Hold ratings issued over the past three months. The mean analyst price objective stands at $108.88, implying roughly 65% appreciation potential from present levels.
Alliance opened their FISSURE Playground 3 campaign with a statement win, sweeping FaZe Clan 2-0 in the group stage upper bracket on September 8. The match took place at the tournament’s LAN venue in Suzhou, China, where a $1 million prize pool is up for grabs over the course of a six-day event running through September 13.
FaZe had historically held the upper hand in recent head-to-head meetings between the two rosters. That track record made this result land a little harder than a typical group stage opener.
Map-by-map breakdown Alliance took Ancient first with a 13-9 scoreline. Nuke was even more lopsided. Alliance closed it out 13-7, turning what could have been a tight series into a clean sweep. Combined, Alliance dropped just 16 rounds across two maps.
Why this matters at FPG 3 FISSURE Playground 3 is not a minor circuit stop. The $1M total prize pool, with $300K reserved for first place, puts it firmly in the category of events that can define a team’s year. The field reflects that gravity: The MongolZ, G2 Esports, FURIA, and several other top-tier organizations are all competing in Suzhou.
The tournament also carries some extra weight given that previous editions of the FISSURE Playground series faced cancellations due to logistical issues. An additional qualifier spot was filled through an Asia closed qualifier.
The head-to-head context This was the first LAN meeting between these two rosters. Online results between Alliance and FaZe had generally favored the FaZe side, including a matchup back in May 2026. Both teams have undergone roster changes since then.
FaZe now faces a tougher path through the bracket. In a tournament with this much prize money on the line, dropping to the lower bracket in the opener means every subsequent match carries elimination stakes.

Bybit launched three FX perpetual contracts on Sept. 8, expanding its derivatives business into major global currency markets. The exchange introduced USDT-settled contracts tracking EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY.
Summary
Bybit launched USDT-settled perpetual contracts tracking EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY with continuous trading and leverage. All three contracts offer maximum leverage of 100x and remain tradable around the clock daily. Traders receive price exposure without owning euros, pounds, dollars, yen, or underlying currency deposits directly. The products use USDT collateral, indefinite maturities, funding rates, and Bybit’s Unified Trading Account system. Global over-the-counter foreign exchange turnover averaged $9.6 trillion daily during April 2025, BIS data showed. The Bybit FX perpetuals operate continuously and offer leverage of up to 100x. They do not expire. Traders can therefore maintain positions without rolling contracts into later maturities, although periodic funding payments may affect the cost of holding them.
The contracts provide synthetic exposure to currency movements. Buyers do not own euros, pounds, dollars or yen. Profits, losses and collateral are denominated in USDT.
Bybit FX perpetuals provide synthetic currency exposure The three products follow their respective spot exchange rates, according to Bybit’s official release. Their tickers are EURUSDUSDT, GBPUSDUSDT and USDJPYUSDT.
Bybit is Taking Crypto Derivatives Deeper Into The Forex Market

— BSCN (@BSCNews) September 9, 2026 Bybit integrated the contracts with its Unified Trading Account. The exchange also applies funding rates and dynamic leverage, using mechanisms commonly found in cryptocurrency perpetual markets to keep contract prices close to their reference rates.
Continuous trading is a key difference from conventional FX access. The contracts remain available on weekends and holidays, when activity in the underlying institutional foreign exchange market is limited or closed.
That feature also creates additional pricing risk. Weekend news may cause a Bybit contract to move before deeper FX markets reopen. Thin liquidity or a lack of active price discovery could widen spreads and produce temporary differences between the perpetual contract and its underlying reference.
Leverage of 100x increases liquidation exposure Bybit allows maximum leverage of 100x on the new contracts. High leverage lets traders control positions much larger than their posted collateral, but it also reduces the price movement needed to trigger liquidation.
The precise liquidation level depends on entry price, maintenance margin, fees and the exchange’s risk rules. Funding payments can also reduce returns or increase losses when positions remain open for extended periods.
USDT settlement removes the need to hold each underlying currency. However, it introduces exposure to the stablecoin and to Bybit’s custody, liquidation and settlement systems. These risks differ from holding currency through a bank or regulated foreign exchange broker.
Bybit said the products are intended for traders who understand leveraged derivatives. Access may also depend on jurisdiction, account eligibility and local regulations. The launch announcement did not establish that the contracts would be available to every Bybit customer.
Bybit expands a suite covering more than 200 assets The listings extend Bybit’s TradFi Perpetuals suite, which launched in April 2026. The exchange says the range now covers more than 200 products tied to equities, commodities, exchange-traded funds and pre-IPO companies.
Crypto exchanges have increasingly added derivatives linked to traditional assets. As crypto.news previously reported, open interest in TradFi perpetuals exceeded $2 billion between late May and July, based on CryptoQuant data. Binance, Bybit and Gate accounted for about 70% of the segment in that report.
In related coverage, Bybit expanded its TradFi lineup beyond 200 contracts after adding synthetic products linked to Unitree Robotics and Moonshot AI. Those instruments also provide price exposure without ownership of the referenced companies.
The FX launch broadens that strategy from stocks and commodities into currency trading. Bybit did not publish opening volume, liquidity or open-interest figures for the three new contracts. There was therefore no verified market reaction available at publication.
Crypto exchanges target the $9.6 trillion FX market Foreign exchange remains the world’s largest over-the-counter financial market. Daily turnover averaged $9.6 trillion in April 2025, up 28% from $7.5 trillion in 2022, according to official data from the Bank for International Settlements.
Bybit is entering a market already targeted by other crypto exchanges. Kraken introduced five FX perpetual futures in April 2025 with leverage reaching 50x, according to its product announcement. BitMEX followed in April 2026 with six currency pairs offering leverage of up to 100x, its official release showed.
The next test will be whether Bybit can maintain deep liquidity and close tracking during weekends, holidays and periods of currency volatility. Funding rates, spreads and index methodology will determine how closely the contracts follow the underlying FX market.
Traders will also need to monitor regional restrictions and contract specifications. Bybit has not announced additional currency pairs or a timetable for expanding the FX range.
8 September 2026 | 12:48 Bit2Me has launched Bit2Shield to help police, courts and banks trace cryptocurrency, preserve evidence, secure seized assets and arrange court-authorized sales through its regulated exchange entity.
Key Takeaways Bit2Shield links tracing, custody and liquidation. Authorities control when seized assets are sold. Bitcoinforme handles crypto-to-euro conversions under MiCA. Multisignature key control remains publicly undisclosed. Bit2Me reports €1.5 million processed in 2025. Bit2Shield connects police operations to asset recovery Bit2Shield is the trading name of CryptoShield S.L., a separate company within Bit2Me Group. Spain’s official commercial register shows that it began operating on July 23, 2026. Its registered activities include technological investigations, forensic analysis, expert reports, operational support and blockchain intelligence.
CryptoShield’s sole shareholder and administrator is Devteam S.L., which Bit2Me identifies among the companies in its corporate group. Bitcoinforme S.L., a separate entity in the same group, operates Bit2Me’s regulated exchange services.
Bit2Me says Bit2Shield will serve police, courts, public bodies and financial institutions. Its work will extend from the initial investigation to the eventual transfer of sale proceeds.
Bit2Shield is a private service provider, not an enforcement authority. It can assist with a seizure or liquidation only under instructions from the police, a court or another competent body.
Its investigations division will be led by Adrián Maroño, a former member of the Spanish Civil Guard’s Central Operational Unit, according to a statement Bit2Me shared with CoinDesk.
How the proposed seizure process works
Stage Bit2Shield’s stated role Identification Help investigators identify wallets, credentials and relevant transaction data. Tracing Follow blockchain transactions and prepare digitally signed forensic reports. Custody Arrange multisignature cold storage for seized assets. Liquidation Arrange a sale after authorization from the competent authority. Settlement Convert the assets through Bitcoinforme and transfer euros to an official government account. The €1.5 million figure needs context Bit2Me says it processed approximately €1.5 million in seized cryptocurrency during 2025 while working on matters involving Europol, Interpol and Spanish police. According to the company, Chainalysis was used to trace the assets before their conversion into euros for the state.
The figure shows that the group performed seizure-related work before CryptoShield was formally established. It does not reveal the number of cases, the assets involved or whether €1.5 million represents their value when seized, transferred into custody or sold.
Bit2Me describes work on matters involving Europol and Interpol, but it has not published an agency statement or agreement establishing a formal partnership with Bit2Shield.
What seizing cryptocurrency actually involves The first difficult step in the workflow is obtaining effective control of the cryptocurrency. The assets cannot be physically removed from a blockchain; authorities must instead prevent the previous controller from moving them.
With a self-custodied wallet, investigators may need to secure a hardware wallet, private key, recovery phrase, passphrase or another signing device. Finding one item does not guarantee access. A wallet may require an additional passphrase or several signatures, while a recovered phrase may control addresses that have not yet been identified.
This distinction has become more important as criminal groups reportedly use private vaults to store crypto credentials. The coins remain recorded onchain; the physical item provides a way to authorize transactions. Investigators must still determine which addresses the recovered credentials control and whether another password, device or signature is required.
If the cryptocurrency is held by an exchange or another custodian, authorities may instead serve a lawful freezing or transfer order on that provider. United Nations guidance notes that seized virtual assets may be transferred to a secure wallet controlled by a court, law-enforcement body, asset-management office or appointed private company.
Bit2Shield may participate at several stages, but each has a different legal purpose. Tracing identifies the assets, freezing or seizure prevents them from being moved, confiscation permanently removes them through a legal decision, and disposal determines whether they are sold, retained or returned to victims.
Blockchain records are only part of the evidence A blockchain can show that a transaction occurred, but an address does not contain the legal name of its controller. A court-ready case therefore needs evidence connecting the onchain activity to a person, account, device or organization.
Exact requirements differ by jurisdiction, but a defensible chain-of-custody record should identify where the credentials were found, who handled them, which addresses they controlled and how the assets were transferred. Transaction hashes, timestamps and access records can preserve an audit trail after the initial seizure.
Bit2Shield says it will prepare digitally signed reports and can present its findings in court. A digital signature can establish that a report has not been altered since it was signed, but it does not prove that the underlying evidence was collected correctly. The company has not publicly detailed its evidence-retention policy, forensic standards or internal access logs.
Multisignature storage reduces one-key risk Bit2Shield plans to hold seized assets in multisignature cold storage. A multisignature wallet requires a specified number of keys to approve a transaction. In a two-of-three arrangement, for example, three keys exist but any two are needed to move the assets.
This can prevent one lost or compromised key from exposing the entire wallet. It can also divide approval between the service provider and the authority that ordered the seizure. If one organization controls enough keys to meet the threshold, however, it can still move the assets without an outside signer.
Bit2Me has not disclosed how many key shares Bit2Shield will create, who will hold them or whether a court or public authority will control at least one required signature. It has also not specified its recovery procedure, insurance coverage or liability if credentials are lost or misused.
Allegations involving the theft of $46 million from U.S. federal seizure wallets illustrate the risk created when contractors or employees receive excessive access to government-controlled assets. Moving keys offline reduces exposure to remote attacks, but it does not remove insider-access risk.
Authorities decide when seized crypto is sold The competent authority, not Bit2Shield, will decide whether and when seized assets are sold.
That decision can materially affect the recovered amount because cryptocurrency prices may change between the initial seizure and the conclusion of a case. An early sale removes further price exposure but fixes the asset’s value at that point. Holding it preserves the possibility of appreciation while leaving the state or potential recipients exposed to losses.
Governments do not always follow the same approach. A proposed Arizona reserve funded with seized criminal assets, for example, would allow certain cryptocurrency to be retained rather than automatically converted into cash. The proposal shows that retention and liquidation are separate policy choices. Under Bit2Shield’s model, its role in a sale begins only after the competent authority orders one.
Bit2Me has not identified the trading venues, pricing benchmark, fees or slippage controls that would apply to a court-ordered sale. It has also not explained how Bit2Shield would handle a seized token without a liquid euro market.
Why the regulatory split matters Bit2Shield says its investigative, forensic, expert-report and training activities fall outside the scope of MiCA because CryptoShield S.L. is not operating as a crypto-asset service provider. When a case requires cryptocurrency to be exchanged for euros, Bitcoinforme S.L. will conduct the conversion.
Bitcoinforme appears in the CNMV register of authorized crypto-asset service providers. That identifies the legal entity expected to perform the regulated exchange service rather than extending the same status automatically to CryptoShield.
The announcement does not identify which legal entity will act as custodian while assets remain in multisignature storage. Contracts with public authorities will need to define who controls the wallets, which which company bears responsibility for the assets and what protections apply before liquidation.
What authorities should establish before using Bit2Shield
Before appointing Bit2Shield, a public institution would need clear answers to five operational questions:
Which entity is legally responsible while the assets remain in custody? Who holds the keys, and what signing threshold applies? How are evidence access and asset transfers recorded? How are sale prices, venues and fees independently checked? What insurance or compensation applies if assets are lost? Until those controls are publicly disclosed, outside observers cannot fully assess the custody and execution safeguards behind Bit2Shield’s services.

Bit2Me, Spain’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has introduced Bit2Shield, a new service aimed at helping law enforcement trace, secure, and liquidate seized digital assets. This specialized unit formalizes Bit2Me’s cooperation with authorities and addresses the increasing complexity of crypto investigations.
Bit2Shield strengthens crypto tracing capabilitiesLegally registered as CryptoShield S.L., Bit2Shield provides support to courts, police departments, and financial institutions during cryptocurrency investigations. Its services include wallet analysis, asset tracing, forensic data extraction, and preparation of digitally signed reports for legal proceedings.
The unit also offers assistance with fraud investigations, verification of funds’ origins, and specialized training for police officers, judges, and banking entities. Investigative operations are led by Adrián Maroño, a former investigator of the Spanish Civil Guard.
Throughout 2025, Bit2Me processed approximately €1.5 million in seized cryptocurrency for agencies such as Interpol, Europol, and Spanish police. Chainalysis supplied blockchain tracing support before Bit2Me converted the recovered assets into euros.
Upon seizure, Bit2Shield places digital assets in multisignature cold wallets until authorities authorize their disposal. The MiCA-authorized Bitcoinforme entity, operated by Bit2Me, then oversees the conversion of crypto to euros and transfers the proceeds to government accounts.
Bit2Shield will enhance law enforcement efforts against crypto-enabled crime by providing secure custody, advanced forensic analysis, and reliable liquidation of assets during legal proceedings.
Rising demand amid surge in crypto fraudThe rise of sophisticated digital crime in Europe has increased the need for expert tracing and recovery solutions. Chainalysis reported that scams and fraud reached $17 billion in stolen cryptocurrency during 2025.
Impersonation scams grew sharply, surging more than 1,400% year-over-year, while AI-powered fraud outperformed conventional schemes. This development has intensified the pressure on authorities to advance blockchain tracing and enhance asset recovery procedures.
Spain continues to face significant cybercrime threats. Data from the Spanish government show 488,426 cybercrimes were recorded in 2025, accounting for nearly a fifth of all reported crimes. Of these, cyber fraud made up 429,677 cases, or almost nine out of ten cybercrime reports.
Recent investigations highlight the value of blockchain intelligence. In August, Chainalysis traced 29,120 crypto addresses and digital identifiers linked to over 100 platforms associated with illicit material distribution, generating 14,300 leads and identifying more than 7,700 suspect accounts.
Physical seizures also illustrate the necessity of advanced custodial processes. In April, Spanish police recovered around €400,000 in cryptocurrency found in cold wallets hidden inside a wall-mounted thermometer during a piracy investigation in Almería.
Bit2Me expands institutional infrastructureThe introduction of Bit2Shield signals Bit2Me’s ongoing shift toward providing institutional and government-focused crypto infrastructure. The exchange continues to strengthen collaborations with banks and aligns its operations with Europe’s advancing MiCA regulations.
Bit2Me’s partnership with Cecabank, which offers a regulated platform for financial institutions, supports institutional crypto infrastructure. Renta 4 Banco became among the first organizations to use the platform as it rolled out digital asset trading to clients.
In 2025, Tether led a €30 million funding round for Bit2Me, with participation from Bankinter, Unicaja, Cecabank, and Telefónica.
The demand for specialized custody also stems from violent attacks on cryptocurrency holders. Chainalysis estimates that over $30 million was stolen through such incidents during the first half of 2026.
Bit2Shield is expected to provide a structured process encompassing identification, seizure, custody, investigation, and asset liquidation. However, its overall effectiveness will depend on collaboration between exchanges, investigators, courts, and international agencies.
These trends underscore a growing need for robust, private-sector infrastructure to support authorities and ensure secure digital asset custody. In a market where a single Fed decision or a sudden altcoin listing can change everything in seconds, jumping between different apps for charts, news, and portfolio tracking is costing investors money. Smart traders are now utilizing privacy-first tools like CryptoAppsy to consolidate everything. Without even the hassle of creating an account, you get real-time charts, smart price alerts, coin-specific news, and critical macro data all on one screen.
Key Highlights EIP-8141 (Frame Transactions) has been confirmed for Ethereum’s Hegotá upgrade, expected to launch in 2027 The upgrade will enable gas fee payments without requiring users to possess ETH in their wallets Third-party sponsors can pay network fees in ETH while accepting stablecoins from users as reimbursement The system bundles token approvals with transactions, automatically revoking permissions if operations fail Frame Transactions align with Ethereum’s quantum-resistance strategy, aiming for a post-quantum secure network by late 2029 Ethereum’s development team has finalized the inclusion of Frame Transactions in the upcoming Hegotá protocol upgrade, set for implementation in 2027. This enhancement, detailed in EIP-8141, will enable network participants to conduct transactions without maintaining ETH balances for transaction fees.
⚡️UPGRADE: Ethereum commits to enable users pay gas fees with stablecoins, even without holding ETH.
Under EIP-8141, an app or another wallet could pay the Ethereum gas fee for users and charge them in stablecoins instead.
This means users could send stablecoins even with ZERO… pic.twitter.com/YNi6J4gpBo
— Coin Bureau (@coinbureau) September 7, 2026
Currently, users face a significant usability barrier: wallets containing substantial stablecoin holdings cannot initiate transfers without ETH for gas. Every operation on Ethereum demands payment in its native token, creating friction for users who exclusively hold alternative assets.
The Mechanics of Frame Transactions EIP-8141 introduces a modular transaction structure that separates authorization, fee settlement, and execution into distinct components. This architecture allows different accounts to handle each element, creating scenarios where one wallet covers network costs while another initiates the actual transfer.
Payment applications could absorb gas expenses directly or accept stablecoins from users before converting them to ETH for protocol-level fee payment. Importantly, Ethereum’s base layer continues collecting fees exclusively in ETH—the innovation lies in abstracting this requirement away from end users.
While certain wallet providers currently offer comparable functionality through external relayer services, Frame Transactions would integrate this capability directly into Ethereum’s native transaction processing, eliminating dependency on auxiliary systems.
Transaction Bundling and Enhanced Protection Frame Transactions introduce the ability to combine multiple operations atomically. Under current protocols, token exchanges require two separate actions: granting spending permission to a decentralized exchange, followed by executing the actual swap. When swaps fail, permissions frequently remain active indefinitely.
The Frame system links both operations together. Should the exchange transaction fail to complete, the associated approval automatically reverts. This mechanism addresses a persistent vulnerability that has affected Ethereum users.
Additionally, Frames enable accounts to modify authentication parameters without migrating assets to different addresses. This functionality facilitates key rotation protocols and adoption of alternative cryptographic signature methodologies.
Vitalik Buterin appears among the ten contributors credited on EIP-8141. He commented via X that development momentum on this proposal has accelerated significantly in recent months.
Ethereum’s Development Timeline The Hegotá upgrade will follow Glamsterdam, currently scheduled for December 2026. Development teams may commence Hegotá-related implementation during the latter part of 2026, with the complete upgrade anticipated throughout 2027.
Approximately 60 researchers and engineers evaluated 62 potential EIPs for inclusion in Hegotá. Frame Transactions earned an S-tier classification, securing its position as a fundamental component rather than an optional feature.
This functionality also advances Ethereum’s extended security objectives. The Ethereum Foundation has established December 2029 as the target date for achieving quantum-resistant Layer 1 infrastructure. Frame Transactions contribute to this goal by enabling signature scheme transitions without necessitating separate hard forks or asset migrations.
The EIP documentation remains in draft status, and implementation specifics may evolve before the upgrade activates. Frame Transactions are not currently accessible on Ethereum’s production network.

Jiang Zhuoer: BTC may first rally to $84,000 before pulling back to $72,000
Jiang Zhuoer, founder of 莱比特矿池 (B.TOP), stated in a published article that BTC is currently still operating within an uptrend channel, but a subsequent correction is unavoidable. If $82,300 has become the phase high prior to this round of correction, the market may enter a prolonged period of wide-range consolidation, with prices completing adjustments through repeated fluctuations. In contrast, Jiang Zhuoer is more inclined to expect BTC to first rise further to the $83,000–$84,000 range, before correcting back to approximately $72,000.

Analysis: Bitcoin's on-chain profit structure nears the early stages of a bull market, though downside risks remain.
CryptoQuant data shows Bitcoin’s Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) has stayed above the break-even line of 1 for three consecutive weeks since August 19, marking the longest such stretch since 2026, with the current reading at roughly 1.002. A SOPR above 1 indicates that BTC transferred on-chain is overall in a profitable state. On-chain analytics platform Checkonchain notes that during bear markets, price rebounds into profitable territory usually trigger sell-offs, while brief dips below the break-even line in bull markets often create dip-buying opportunities, and the current market structure is approaching the early recovery phase of a bull market. However, David Puell, portfolio manager at ARK Invest, argues Bitcoin still faces downside risks. For more conclusive evidence that the bear market has ended, SOPR needs to remain above 1 for a longer period, and BTC prices must form consecutive higher highs and higher lows.

OpenAI Partners With Samsung on Next-Generation Chips, Expanding Collaboration From Memory to Chip R&D
Beating AI News Flash: Harrison Kim, OpenAI’s head of Korea, said OpenAI is co-developing and manufacturing next-generation chips with Samsung Electronics, with clear progress made in the collaboration. He did not disclose details on the chip’s architecture, process technology, or mass production timeline. Previously, Samsung mainly served as a supplier in OpenAI’s chip roadmap. Last year, when both parties joined the Stargate Korea project, Samsung’s stated role was to provide OpenAI with advanced memory chips, as well as wafer foundry and advanced packaging capabilities. This marks the first time Samsung has explicitly entered the joint R&D and production of next-generation chips. OpenAI’s first self-developed inference chip, Jalape?o, was launched in June this year, co-developed with Broadcom and manufactured by TSMC, with deployment planned for the end of the year. OpenAI noted at the time that Jalape?o is only the first generation, with multiple subsequent chip generations to follow.
