BTC community heat update: 2.03 times is just attention, not buying pressure
OKX Onchain OS recorded 146 mentions of BTC in one hour at 06:00 on August 28, including 127 from X and 19 from news.
Compared to the 24-hour hourly average, this round's speed is 2.03 times, classified as "significantly accelerated"; the sentiment is 54% bullish and 7% bearish. There is no need to force these two lines into the same conclusion: heat reflects how many people are talking, sentiment reflects the text's bias, and neither can directly substitute for trading volume and capital flow.
If the next round continues with speed, news sources, and actual market transactions together, confidence in judgment will increase; if it quickly returns to the average, this change is more like short-term noise.The market remains patient with the long-term narrative of the two mainstream coins, but the real lessons are often hidden in the shadows of leverage. A trader who once made a name by heavily investing near a thousand yuan in Ethereum and lost $763 million in the February correction due to failure to anticipate risks recently reiterated the slogan "only go long, never short." His logic is not without support: the integration of AI and crypto is seen as the core theme running through 2028, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and even Solana all positioned in the imaginative space where computing power and capital intersect. This narrative itself is valid, but history also reminds us that being right about the direction does not mean the process will be smooth. When market consensus is highly unified, the intensity of corrections often exceeds expectations, and overconfident position management is precisely the culprit that turns correct judgments into huge losses. For ordinary participants, rather than obsessing over whether to short, it is better to consider whether their holdings can withstand a round of irrational volatility. On the macro level, PCE data and monetary policy signals from Jackson Hole will continue to dominate short-term liquidity expectations, and whether the AI narrative can continue to deliver requires more practical implementation to verify. Risk warning: Crypto assets are highly volatile, and leveraged operations may amplify losses; please rationally assess your own risk tolerance. #BTC surge and pullback, options expiry amplifies key level battles
BTC surged and then quickly pulled back. Combined with large options expiry, the battle at key levels is amplified. ETH will follow BTC, but its own options position structure will lead to differentiated performance.
Impact on $BTC:
1. Approaching expiry, the Gamma effect becomes prominent. After the initial surge, market makers maintain Delta neutrality, passively selling at high levels to suppress further advances, directly causing the surge and pullback. Key levels with concentrated strike prices become strong attractors, with prices repeatedly testing these positions, resulting in more fake breakouts and noticeable spikes.
2. The maximum pain point becomes the core of short-term battles. If the current price is far from the pain point, funds will pull the price toward it before and after settlement; if the price surges past dense call strike zones, sellers’ hedging pressure will emerge, suppressing the market; if it falls toward dense put strike zones, support buying will appear.
3. Contract linkage amplifies volatility. The surge and pullback combined with options rebalancing and rapid long-short turnover in perpetual contracts easily trigger phased liquidations, intensifying intraday fluctuations. After settlement, Gamma constraints are lifted, short-term suppression disappears, and the market can move in a clearer direction.
Impact on $ETH:
1. ETH is highly correlated with BTC. When BTC experiences intense volatility due to options expiry, ETH mostly follows the rises and falls synchronously. BTC’s surge and pullback will be mirrored by ETH, dominated by Beta characteristics.
2. ETH has independent options positions. If ETH’s call/put holdings are unbalanced, ETH may move independently while BTC remains stable. When BTC is pinned within a range by options, ETH may exhibit stronger or weaker divergence.
3. Volatility transmission: BTC options expiry raises overall market implied volatility, with ETHIV rising in tandem. Short-term volatility often expands more than usual. However, ETH’s options nominal size is generally smaller than BTC’s, so its driving force is secondary, mostly passive following. Only when ETH’s own large strike prices are touched will it show independent moves.
The above is only a market logic analysis and does not constitute investment advice.Friday morning 8.28
From midnight until now, BTC has steadily risen from around 79706 to 81121, up more than 1415 points, currently hovering near 80996; ETH has climbed from 2487 to 2528, now fluctuating around 2525. Both BTC and ETH are in an overall bullish pattern.
On the 4-hour chart, BTC has consecutively closed bullish candles, with price firmly above the moving average, confirming a clear uptrend. Any pullback is a consolidation.
On the 1-hour chart, after continuous bullish moves, BTC has reached the upper Bollinger Band. Short-term overbought conditions suggest a pullback is needed, but the main trend remains unchanged. Pullbacks are buying opportunities.
Friday morning Silk Road: Buy on pullbacks
$BTC: Buy around 80000-80500, target 81500-82000
$ETH: Buy around 2505-2515, target 2565-2585
$SOL $BTC Bitcoin Returns to 80,000, Hong Kong Conference as a “Catalyst” Rather Than an “Engine”
On August 28, Bitcoin climbed back above $80,000, reaching an intraday high of $80,799. Coinciding on the same day, Bitcoin Asia 2026 concluded at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, with the timing closely aligned, naturally drawing market attention to whether the conference “ignited” this rally.
The conference indeed released positive signals: Binance founder CZ’s “comeback” speech was seen as a regulatory indicator; Hong Kong legislators reaffirmed the Web3 hub positioning and introduced regulatory progress such as stablecoin regulations; the event also included closed-door institutional meetings with participation from traditional financial institutions like Barclays and Société Générale. These developments undoubtedly boosted market confidence in Asia’s crypto ecosystem.
However, the core force driving the price back to 80,000 came more from macro capital flows—U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow exceeding $2.6 billion over the past eight trading days, showing a clear rebound in institutional allocation demand; Nvidia’s earnings outlook lifted tech stocks, broadly improving risk appetite; Coinbase’s premium over Binance, a rare occurrence, also indicated the return of U.S. institutional funds.
Therefore, the Hong Kong conference played the role of an “emotional catalyst,” providing narrative support for the market, but the real upward momentum came from the substantial return of institutional capital and improved macro risk appetite. Whether $BTC can hold above 80,000 still depends on the sustainability of active buying going forward. $BTC
Core PCE year-on-year at 3.3% remains steady, inflation sticky, consumption stalled. The Jackson Hole debut by Powell likely offers little guidance, reiterating 2%. For BTC, the speech itself matters less than how the market prices it: if hawkish, 80,000 is easy to give back; if moderate, short-term breathing room remains. Don't bet on a single phrase, watch how US bonds and the dollar move.#美国核心PCE持平上月，沃什杰克逊霍尔讲话如何定调？ Core PCE remained flat in July, inflation hasn't come down, directly dashing some aggressive easing hopes. Tonight's Jackson Hole speech is a short-term anchor, most likely without clear rate guidance, passing the ball to subsequent data.
Crypto: Risk assets are extremely sensitive to rate expectations, neutral → range-bound; hawkish → quick pullback; only clear dovish signals will trigger a rebound. Event-driven market, position control is essential, don't go all in.
👉Conclusion: Probability of a rate hike in September decreases, but expectations for a rate cut continue to be delayed.
Crypto market forecast: BTC enters a macro-driven high volatility window, neutral speech maintains range-bound; once hawkish tone is released, high Beta coins will face amplified pullback pressure, making it difficult to have a one-sided big move in the short term, mainly event-driven trading.Today, the biggest positive for BTC remains that the money hasn't left: BTC ETFs have seen net inflows for 8 consecutive full trading days, totaling about $2.8 billion, with BlackRock's IBIT absorbing about $200 million again on August 26; ETH ETFs also maintain strong inflows. Therefore, the medium-term trend is still bullish. However, at 22:00 Beijing time tonight, Kevin Warsh will speak at Jackson Hole, while PCE remains high at 3.7%, US Treasury yields are rising again, and oil prices have rebounded by 2%, making tonight the biggest single event risk window in the past week. Core trend positions can continue to be held with the trend, but betting on direction with high leverage tonight is not advisable; what really needs to be watched is whether BTC can hold above 80K–82K after Warsh's speech, and whether IBIT completes its 9th consecutive day of net inflows.Bitcoin is currently trading at $78,353.62, down 1.20% in the past 24 hours. After a weekly gain of 21.82%, the market has seen profit-taking, putting Bitcoin's price to the test at the $80,000 resistance level. Bitcoin's weekly correlation with gold reached 94.37%, indicating that both were influenced by similar macroeconomic factors during the rise. Although ETF inflows and lower yields supported demand, correlation alone does not prove that gold directly drove Bitcoin's rise. Currently, the market needs spot buyers to absorb the coins released by profit-taking holders $BTC $CL 聪明钱空头意图突然放大。 一个过去 30 天盈利约 279k USD、最大回撤约 1.7% 的低回撤钱包，目前持有约 48k USD 的 $CL 空头，同时挂出约 350k USD 的新增卖单阶梯。卖单规模约为现有空仓的 7 倍。 这还不是成交，随时可能撤单，但它清楚显示该钱包正在等待更高位置继续加空。$CL 当前日成交量约 183m USD，价差约 0.12 bps，流动性足以让这组挂单值得跟踪。Let's talk about something practical today, don't get misled by the hype of a “full bull market” — just focus on two key lines: one is the bull-bear dividing line, and the other is Trump's position radar. This is the third time since this bear market that BTC has hit the average cost line of short-term holders. The STH-RP indicator is considered by many analysts in the community as the bull-bear dividing line. The logic is simple: once the price reaches the breakeven line, short-term holders who can't hold on will panic and run, so in a bear market it's always “falling back near the cost line, then retreating again,” repeatedly wearing people down. What everyone cares about most now is: is this the start of a bull market, or just a bear market rebound? If you think it's the start of a bull, press 1; if you think it's a bear, press 2. Every time the price stands above the STH-RP, it must be taken seriously — no one can say for sure if this time is the signal to say goodbye to the bear market for good. Previously, I mentioned that you can start building positions in batches around the 60,000 range. According to the four-year cycle, October is when the next round officially begins. Recently, the most talked-about topics in the market are institutional entry, legislative progress, and the trends of gold and BTC — essentially all revolving around U.S. Treasury bonds. My own observation is: from a time perspective, we are still in a bear market rebound cycle, but looking at various indicators, it does have the flavor of an early bull market. No matter how you look at it, the area around 60,000 is definitely the bottom region, and this big direction is beyond doubt. Recently on-chain data shows many whales have started taking profits on long positions around 80,000, gradually closing positions, and even opening shorts. If it really is a bull market, there will be plenty of opportunities to buy on dips — patience is more important than anything at this stage $SOL This round is indeed the strongest among mainstream altcoins, and it's not driven solely by the broader market, but by several catalysts stacked together. Recently, SOL climbed back above $100, with a 24-hour increase exceeding 10% at one point, and its cumulative gain in August has approached 44%. 1. Governance vote: The market is trading "supply contraction" Solana is advancing important governance proposals. Simply put, one direction is "issue less SOL," and the other is "burn more SOL." So the current trading logic is straightforward: less new supply, increased burn = reduced future SOL supply pressure. This directly affects market expectations of SOL's scarcity. 2. Listed companies are still buying SOL. DeFi Development Corp recently bought about 19,000 SOL, bringing total holdings to about 2.33 million SOL and equivalent assets. This indicates that SOL is gradually emerging in a narrative similar to BTC's "corporate reserve assets." Previously, when listed companies hoarded coins, the first reaction was BTC, but now some companies are actively allocating SOL. 3. Schwab begins bringing SOL into traditional financial channels Charles Schwab announced that in the coming months, he will add spot trading of SOL, AVAX, and LINK on his Crypto platform. Schwab has over $12 trillion in client assets and about 39 million active brokerage accounts, making this channel highly significant. BriefCZ’s view that $BTC could eventually become more important than gold is worth discussing — but I don’t think this is a short-term rotation story. Gold has centuries of monetary history behind it. For major economies, especially in the East, shifting reserves and financial trust toward BTC would take a very long time. So I’m not focused on BTC flipping gold’s entire market cap. If BTC eventually reaches even 20% of gold’s market cap, I’d consider that a massive structural success. And honestly, 1. Probability of Increase: The probability of winning in the evening is significantly higher than in the early morning to morning period. High win rate ranges: 18 points (60%) and 19 points (59%) are the two periods with the highest probability of rising throughout the day, followed closely by 7 o'clock, 13 o'clock, and 22:00 at 56%, showing an overall pattern of "higher win rates during the evening session." Low win rate range: The probability of rising at 6 and 10 points is only 40%, while 1 point (44%) and 0 / 15 points (45%) are also low. The early morning to morning period has significantly weaker upward certainty. 2. Average Gains: Clear break-even gains, with high-return gains concentrated between 4-5 a.m. and 11 p.m. High-return periods: 23 points (53.85), 5 points (53.81), and 4 points (53.30) lead the day, but the probability of rising in these three periods is only 49%-52%, making them high break-even periods with low win rates but large single gains. High loss periods: 21 points (-62.84), 6 points (-40.58), and 2 points (-34.83) have the deepest average declines. Among them, 21 points is the only period with an annualized decline exceeding 60%, with a rising probability of only 48%, indicating weak win rate and profit-loss ratio. Note: Although 18 points has the highest probability of rising all day, the average increase is -5.62, indicating there are many rises during this period, but the declines are more pronounced, dragging down the overall average return. 3. Average volatility: The most intense swings are at 1 AM, and 2 in the eveningThe next phase of AI may not be about being smarter, but about being more profitable.
As the current AI market cycle progresses, the focus of the market is shifting. In the past, people cared more about model parameters, computing power scale, and financing amounts. Now, a more practical question is being asked: Can AI continuously generate revenue and profit?
Companies in the AI industry chain like NVIDIA still show strong performance, but the capital market is no longer satisfied with the answer "AI demand is huge." As AI infrastructure investment increases, investors are starting to focus on whether these investments can ultimately translate into real commercial returns.
This also offers insights for Crypto. In sectors like AI Agent, DePIN, and decentralized computing power, the narrative and future imagination dominated before. Next, they may enter a similar phase: How much are users actually using? How much revenue is generated? Does the product truly solve problems?
I believe the next stage of competition in AI × Web3 will not necessarily be about who has the bigger story, but who can truly turn AI capabilities into sustainable products and cash flow. #美国核心PCE持平上月，沃什杰克逊霍尔讲话如何定调？
Tonight's debut at Jackson Hole will decide life or death: BTC hanging on the $80k threshold: Hawkish signals sound, will bulls exit?
At 10 PM tonight, Federal Reserve Chair Wash will make his Jackson Hole debut, with the market holding its breath. The backdrop is high inflation, bond market turmoil, and damaged Fed credibility; Wash urgently needs to repair guidance.
Currently, US stocks, BTC (breaking $80,000), ETH, and SOL are surging. The core drivers are the "AI boom + ETF inflows + risk appetite recovery" logic, not expectations of Wash turning dovish.
What key points need attention?
1) How Wash characterizes the recent surge in long-term bond yields—whether it is "desirable tightening" or "risk premium" will set the tone;
2) Whether he clarifies the inflation response mechanism and the optionality of rate hikes;
3) If he remains ambiguous again, market "punishment" will intensify.
Signal judgment: The market is unprepared for hawkishness, with only 7% expecting dovishness. Wash is likely neutral to hawkish, emphasizing unchanged inflation targets but may disappoint the market by withholding guidance.
How should BTC, ETH, and SOL be traded?
BTC: Currently facing strong resistance in the 80k-80.4k range with an 8% supply concentration. If the speech is hawkish or ambiguous, short at 8.05k-8.15k, target 7.85k, stop loss 8.25k; if unexpectedly dovish, a break above 8.2k can be chased long.
SOL/ETH: SOL is catching up but faces heavy resistance at $110. Short SOL at 109-110, target 102, $BTC Bitcoin touched 80,000 but failed to hold, then hovered near the critical level again.
K33 Research says this wave is the "largest single-day short squeeze on record" — last week shorts were liquidated by 7.2 billion, and most of the price increase was driven by short covering, not by everyone rushing to buy. Futures open interest is also declining, so the short squeeze momentum has basically dissipated.
The good news is that ETFs are indeed flowing in with real money. Last week saw a net inflow of 1.92 billion, the strongest single-week inflow in nearly 10 months, with 8 consecutive days of net buying. August has accumulated over 3 billion USD in inflows. The problem is that the higher the price goes, the heavier the profit-taking — short-term holders have transferred over 40,000 $BTC to exchanges after breaking even, marking the largest profit-taking scale this year.
There is another variable today: $6.44 billion worth of BTC options expire on Deribit, with the most concentrated open interest around the 75K and 80K strike prices. Market makers will need to adjust positions, which could amplify short-term volatility.
The short squeeze momentum has passed; whether it can hold now depends on whether ETF and spot buying can absorb the profit-taking at high levels. If they can, the trend will recover; if not, the phase rebound will end. #BTC冲高回落，期权到期放大关口博弈 XRP's "treasury company" Evernorth is going public — Ripple has finally brought the "institutional finance" narrative to the Nasdaq stage.
This "treasury company + SPAC" structural design is very clever: it bypasses the complexity of a direct IPO while adding a layer of "compliance premium" narrative to XRP. From being a rebel against Swift to becoming an on-chain tool for traditional finance, Ripple's repositioning is very clear.
But there is a fundamental question unresolved: do institutions really need XRP for cross-border payments? Or do they just need the blockchain concept? The financial disclosures after going public will provide the answer — whether it's genuine demand or just narrative premium.#Large Inflows into Gold ETFs, How Will Safe-Haven Funds Reallocate?
The strong inflows into gold ETFs signal that capital is seriously starting to "de-dollarize" its allocation!
Last week, global physical $XAU gold ETFs saw net inflows of $6.38 billion and 46.7 tons, hitting a nearly 10-month high; spot gold briefly surged to $4696, indicating this is no longer just retail investors seeking safety.
More importantly, $BTC is also attracting funds: over the past 7 trading days, spot BTC ETFs had net inflows of about $2.5 billion, while BTC briefly broke above $80,000 during the same period. The simultaneous inflows into gold and BTC show that the market's trading focus has shifted from "rate cuts" to concerns over the US dollar's credit, fiscal deficits, and non-sovereign assets.
However, gold is clearly more crowded in the short term, with futures momentum funds having already front-run after gold rose near $4700; BTC, on the other hand, continues to see ongoing capital inflows. I am more bullish on BTC, followed by gold. It's worth watching now, but don't chase near $80,000—wait for continued ETF inflows to confirm, as BTC's risk-reward ratio looks better.@多多不梭哈 In this case centered around Mywell Technology's financial report, the most worthwhile conclusion is not a fleeting rise or fall, but that "solid earnings" and "stock price must rise" are never the same thing. When the market has already traded for strong expectations, data only slightly exceeds consensus, and the call does not provide sufficiently aggressive long-term guidance, funds may still choose to cash out. What you really need to guard against in event trading is the mismatch in expectations, and simultaneous loss of liquidity and positions. At the start of the livestream, Mywell's financial report had not yet been released. Duoduo did not finalize the direction ahead of time, but waited for the numbers and management's call. He expected sharp fluctuations after the news was realized, so even if he participated, he should prioritize small positions, clear stop-losses, and quick verification. Heavily betting on the side before the earnings report seemed like a big market move, but in reality, he left all uncontrollable gaps, slippages, and information delays to himself. After financial reports gradually emerged, he believed the results themselves were not bad. During the call, it was mentioned that full-year revenue is expected to be about $12 billion, higher than the previous level of about $11.5 billion; The data center business continues to grow rapidly, with gross margin and adjusted profit margins remaining in high ranges. AI data centers, custom chips, optical interconnects, and other business areas continue to provide growth narratives. These details are enough to show that the company's fundamentals have not suddenly deteriorated. However, price performance has not simply followed the "good news." Duoduo's judgment is that the market has already had high expectations for the AI infrastructure chain, and investors are looking not only at the quarterly figures, but also on whether the company can continue to significantly raise its future growth slope. The call was head-onThe most important security promise of hardware wallets is to display transactions pending signing on a separate screen, allowing users to confirm the payment address, amount, and type of operation. On August 27, OneKey's security team disclosed that they had reproduced the transaction replacement issue from the older Ledger Ethereum application version 1.22.1 in the lab: when a device was displaying transaction A, the malicious host could use race conditions to rewrite the underlying signature buffer, causing the device to finally sign transaction B. This does not mean the private key is exported, nor does it mean attackers can control the device remotely only. According to Ledger, attackers first control communication between hardware wallets and hosts, such as sending commands via malware, tampered wallet programs, or malicious websites. What truly breaks the vulnerability is another security boundary: data confirmed by users on the screen must be consistent with the data that last entered the signature algorithm. The controversy centers on how the disclosure method is used, not whether the vulnerability exists. OneKey used an older version to replicate the device; Ledger stated that the issue was discovered through internal security processes. The Ethereum application 1.22.2, released on August 13, has added protection, and on August 21, the underlying issue was fixed in Secure SDK 26.6.1. Ledger currently recommends upgrading to Ethereum app 1.22.3 or higher, and says no evidence of exploitation in real-world environments has been found. For users, the right move is not panic transfers, nor is it clicking Mo$BTC
BTC has risen above $80,000, rebounding over 25% from $62,000 this month. The main reasons are ETF inflows and a weakening dollar. It is still about 36% below last year's high. Tonight's speech by Walsh is a short-term catalyst. Whether the $80,000 level can hold depends on policy signals; there is resistance at $81,000 above, and caution is needed if it pulls back to $78,000.OKTA and CRWD have been re-priced by the market for cybersecurity this time!
$CRWD Q2 revenue was $1.47 billion, up 26% year-over-year, with a record net new ARR of $333 million. The company also raised its FY27 net new ARR growth guidance directly to 34%; the stock price then surged about 19%.
$xOKTA was even more impressive, with revenue of $805 million, up 11% year-over-year, EPS of $1.05, all exceeding expectations, RPO growth of 17%, and the stock price surged over 28% intraday.
Did the market price in this in advance? Yes, but obviously not enough. OKTA had already risen about 50% this year before the earnings report, yet it still rallied nearly 30% more; CRWD was also widely expected to beat, but the actual net new ARR and guidance continued to accelerate, indicating that the capital is truly buying into the new wave of identity and endpoint security demand driven by AI Agents.
Most optimistic on CRWD. Its growth rate, ARR quality, and AI security positioning are all stronger than OKTA. Not suitable to chase after the short-term surge, but CRWD after a pullback is worth close attention.$BTC The current market trading sentiment is too FOMO.
I am currently bullish, but if it continues to rise now, it will be difficult to form a healthy bull market.
1. The rise from a low position was too sudden. In the days before the rise, the price consolidated around 63000 for several days, accumulating a large number of long positions. The price increase has already given those leveraged longs in that range several to dozens of times returns, and there are currently too many floating profitable positions.
2. The rise has been strong all the way, without deep shakeouts or chip turnover. Any incoming funds could become the bag holders.
Now, trading must be rational.
Don't let the market control your emotions and recklessly open positions out of FOMO.
Don't forget the shadow cast by the big drop two months ago.
For the market to improve, real capital inflow is needed.
Positions like micro-strategies, which buy and hold long-term, are the real positive factor.
Don't be disturbed by spot ETF inflows; most ETFs are short-term speculative funds.
They are institutionally raised funds managed collectively for trading.
ETF buying and selling happens almost daily.
Don't forget that the last drop from 82000 to 57000 was caused by ETFs selling at any cost.
So at best, they are a large short-term trade, with risks far greater than whales.
If you have channels to monitor ETF spot fund dynamics, keep a close eye.
There is no market that only rises without falling. If you go long now, be prepared mentally for a deep correction.
My advice remains: manage your positions well and control risk.
#美国核心PCE持平上月，沃什杰克逊霍尔讲话如何定调？ #财报观察员：英伟达超预期，软件收入开始兑现 #BTC冲高回落，期权到期放大关口博弈 StarkWare's latest experiment may not be immediately noteworthy for whether it can become Bitcoin's ultimate quantum defense solution, but rather because it validates a different upgrade approach.
Recent experiments show that without changing Bitcoin's consensus rules, an additional hash-based security mechanism can add a layer of quantum attack protection for specific funds. The test scale was not large, involving about 8,000 sats, but the significance lies in the fact that Bitcoin may not need to wait for a full network consensus upgrade to start building a "transitional defense line" for some high-value assets.
Of course, practical limitations remain obvious. The entire process may require several hours of computation, with a single cost roughly between 120–180 USD, and the experimental transactions need to enter blocks through a special miner submission path rather than the standard propagation process familiar to ordinary users.
Therefore, I tend to understand it as a backup solution for high-value, low-frequency scenarios: if future technology can further standardize, reduce computational costs, and lessen dependence on special miner coordination, it might be more suitable for institutional custody, long-term reserves, and other funds that can accept slower execution speeds.
But it is important to emphasize that this does not mean Bitcoin has achieved comprehensive quantum security. It is more like an important technical validation and also indicates that before an official protocol-level upgrade arrives, Bitcoin may have some feasible "emergency channels." What a hardware wallet displays does not equal what it has authorized by signature
Ledger Donjon announced on August 27: In certain transaction lists, the affected Ethereum app may only review one operation, but the signature authorizes the entire transaction. The issue is not just whether the private key leaves the device, but also whether the device's display fully corresponds to the final authorization.
This does not mean all transactions carry the same risk. The announcement's premises include an infected host, specific clear-signing descriptors; also no compromised production front-end, no public network transactions, and no real fund movements.
It is worth noting: multisig raises the signature threshold but cannot automatically fix multiple devices making the same parsing error on the same transaction. Independent confirmation requires each confirmation to fully see the content to be signed.
The announcement states the fix is in Ethereum app 1.22.3 and recommends verifying the app version on signing devices. Decrypt also advises that both the app and firmware need separate updates. Today's focus is not panic but verifying versions, device displays, and host interfaces.
Position disclosure: This article is published by the CoWallet operator for industry information only and does not constitute investment advice.
#AI #Web3 #MPC #hardwarewallet #Ethereum StarkWare's experiment matters less as a finished defense than as a test of Bitcoin's upgrade path. Moving 10K sats behind an added hash-based backup lock, without changing the protocol, shows that protection for selected funds may be possible before network-wide consensus forms.
The constraint is operational: hours per use, roughly $150-$200 in cost, and miner coordination make this unsuitable for ordinary wallets today. My read is that the nearer-term fit, if the process can be standardized, is high-value custody where slow execution is acceptable. It is a useful hedge, not proof that Bitcoin is quantum-safe. Not advice, just analysis.
#StarkWareQuantumBTCSOL rose to 109, BTC sideways at 80,000: Has capital started to chase high Beta first?
My clearest observation from watching the market today is: money hasn't fully returned to the market, it's just first going to the easiest places to rally.
$BTC 80456, up only 0.19%, sideways above 80,000, resistance remains at 81,000–83,000; 78,000 holds, structure not broken yet.
$ETH 2513.81, actually down 0.31%. 2,500 temporarily held, but 2,515 and 2,550 not reclaimed, so ETH hasn't regained control. If it falls back to 2,490, look first to 2,450 below.
$SOL 109.34, up 2.02%, clearly leading. Trend above 100 not broken, but chasing longs near 110, risk-reward ratio is no longer comfortable.
$SNDK still weak, AI earnings are hot, but storage hasn't followed, indicating capital prefers buying high Beta, not broadly buying risk assets.
About $6.44 billion in BTC options expire today, with the Jackson Hole speech tonight, 80,000 area likely to continue fluctuating. If BTC holds 80,000 and ETH retakes 2,520, SOL's move looks like capital diffusion; if BTC falls back to 79,000 and ETH breaks 2,490, SOL's strength may be just the last push.
My judgment: this is not a full bull market yet, capital is first chasing elasticity.
#美国核心PCE持平上月，沃什杰克逊霍尔讲话如何定调？ #OKX星球话题来啦 #星球日报 #US Core PCE Holds Steady from Last Month, How Will the Jackson Hole Speech Set the Tone?
80,000 is holding steady, no one dares to move before the Fed speech
The market has indeed stood above 80,000, $BTC current price is 80,462, with a 24-hour high of 80,850 and a low of 78,552, overall hovering around 80,000.
Yesterday's PCE data came out, core at 3.3%, as expected, neither exceeding nor falling short of expectations, so the market had little reaction. The reason for holding steady at 80,000 is simple — after a big rise, chips need to be digested; 80,000 is a psychological barrier upwards, and there is still support below.
Tonight is the Jackson Hole Symposium, and Fed Chair Powell will speak; everyone is waiting. Since taking office, he has been very reserved with words. The July press conference was unclear, causing US Treasury yields to surge to the highest since 2007. If this time he clarifies the framework, the market may choose a direction; if still vague, expect more grinding. $BTC BTC is currently trading at $79,950–80,200 (Asian session on 8/28, just back above the 80K threshold). Yesterday, 6.44 billion in options (81,700 contracts) hedging just finished unloading at 08:00 UTC. The real bomb tonight is Wash's Jackson Hole debut at 22:00 Beijing time (10:00 EDT).
Options expiration is a "mechanical pressure release," while Wash's speech is a "macro tone-setting" event—these two combined determine BTC's direction, not the current price action, but the 15 minutes at 22:00.
Current situation (frozen at 8/28 morning session):
Price: oscillating around $79,950 ± 200, 80K is a psychological barrier + 80K Call concentrated strike price (1.57 billion nominal)
After options settlement: Max Pain around 78K, price at 79.9K above pain point, out-of-the-money Calls expire, market makers unload selling pressure, volatility energy has been partially released
ETF base: net inflow for 8 consecutive days, totaling about $2.8 billion, with $232 million on 8/27 alone, supporting the 80K floor
Macro prelude: July PCE at 3.7% is slightly hot, Q2 GDP at 1.5%, 18 days until 9/16 FOMC, CME shows 38.4% chance of a September rate hike, 61.6% chance of no change
Sentiment: Fear & Greed index at 71 (Greed), not bottom panic but event front-running, prone to "sell the fact"
Wash's three scenarios (BTC corresponding paths):
① Dovish framework (emphasizing soft employment, supply-side inflation, no explicit rate hike mention) — probability about 35%
Market reads as "no urgency," long-term US bonds down, dollar soft, ETF continues to absorb
BTC: breaks 81,085 (50-week EMA) → target 83K–86K, ETH follows breaking 2,550 confirming rotation
Action: light position follow if 79K holds, stop loss at 77K
② Strategic ambiguity (reaffirm 2% target, no forward guidance, discuss financial innovation/stablecoins) — probability about 40%
Wash's style is "subtraction, deleting guidance," most likely scenario
BTC: oscillate around 80K ±3% until September PCE, range 75K–81K continues weaving
Action: no chase, wait for close, high sell low buy within range
③ Hawkish surprise (signals "rate hikes still on the table" / insists on Higher for Longer) — probability about 25%
8/26 PCE at 3.7% gives him ammo; if more hawkish = risk asset repricing
BTC: breaks 79K → 77K (strong support) → if breaks, target 75–76K (75K Call concentration zone), weekly break below 74K targets 68–70K
Action: reduce position, wait for 75K to see if ETF absorbs
The key is not "what he says," but "how the market interprets it."
Since Wash took office, he cut statements and removed dot plots; one sentence can be interpreted three ways. Initial spikes or dumps are often fake moves; the 4-hour close is what counts.
Three-tier operation (for tonight only):
Before 22:00: 79.5–80.5K no betting on breakout, options volatility already released, keep cash and wait for speech
Dovish close above 81,085: go long targeting 83–85K, stop loss 79,800
Hawkish break below 79K with hourly close not recovered: reduce to 50% position, target 77→75.5K for phased buying
Ambiguous sideways: no chase above 79K, no sell below 77K, sideways until 9/16 FOMC
Hidden line reminder (easily overlooked):
This year's JH theme is "Financial Innovation: Implications for Payments and Policy," the first time stablecoins/payment innovation are central.
If Wash mentions "private stablecoins better than CBDCs" or "GENIUS Act framework is acceptable" = structural positive for crypto but not equal to liquidity easing; if he mentions "Fed expanding regulatory power over stablecoin issuers" = short-term bearish. This hidden line affects ETH/stablecoin chains more than interest rate wording; BTC is affected indirectly by liquidity expectations.
Where Bitcoin goes, no answer today, wait for 22:00.
Options decide "volatile bullish pressure," Wash decides "where it goes after the shakeout"; this 80K spike is just the opening silence. $BTC Woke up to find $BTC closing above 80,000 on the daily chart, firmly holding its ground.
But I feel the risk is getting higher and higher, so absolutely do not chase blindly. I've even started reducing positions to take profits because BTC's volatility will explode today.
1. ETF demand is higher than expected. The net inflow suddenly dropped to 5.8 million the day before yesterday, but that was just a single-day fluctuation; it quickly rebounded yesterday to 2 billion.
2. Another reason is that the bulls have a consensus on short squeezes, so when the shorts accumulated more than the bulls yesterday, the bulls launched another wave.
3. 80,000 is very likely to become a short-term support level. Once the daily close is above this psychological level and the pullback doesn't break it, the breakout is confirmed valid, and the support base shifts upward.
4. But 83,000 and 86,000 are heavy resistance lines. One is the 50-week moving average, the other is the upper edge of a heavy chip concentration zone. I’m not optimistic about breaking through, so I’m taking profits by reducing positions first.
5. Volatility will explode today because two major events coincide: about 6.4 billion in BTC options expiring (betting on $82k–100k) + the Jackson Hole central bank symposium (Fed Chair Warsh’s speech).Why? Because liquidity has no increment, only stock mutual cutting.
Previously, money was flooded out from the Federal Reserve into the crypto circle, everything rose. Now? Macroscopically, no certainty of massive flooding is seen; ETF funds are structural, not evenly distributed. The hotspots you see—AI agent, RWA, DePIN—are essentially stock funds looking for the next story to tell. Once the story is told, people run, and the coin crashes. If you run slower, you become the cost of that story.
More cruelly, many project teams themselves understand: rather than seriously making products and waiting for a bull market, it's better to just issue a coin, control the market, cooperate with KOLs to shout a few times, and end the battle in three months. You think you are investing, but actually you are providing exit liquidity for others.
So in this cycle, many people's real feeling is: BTC hasn't dropped much, but accounts have shrunk; there are many hotspots, but none were caught; obviously working hard, but the harder you work, the more you lose. #美国核心PCE持平上月，沃什杰克逊霍尔讲话如何定调？ #财报观察员：英伟达超预期，软件收入开始兑现 #BTC冲高回落，期权到期放大关口博弈 $SOL $ETH $BTC Friday, August 28, 2026.
The current global financial market is in an extremely critical "Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Annual Meeting Watch Period." The new Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh will deliver his first keynote speech at the central bank annual meeting since taking office today. The market's core focus has completely shifted from "short-term rate cuts/hikes of 25 basis points" to "the new monetary policy framework and medium- to long-term liquidity logic under the new leadership."
Kevin Warsh's Speech and Macro Core Focus
The Federal Reserve under Warsh represents a significant style shift from the Powell era. Today's speech has three key market focal points:
Macro Framework Reshaping vs. Short-term Forward Guidance
Warsh has previously publicly stated that "the Fed will not be bound by market pricing" and has canceled the highly transparent forward guidance used before. Therefore, he is not expected to give clear signals about rate cuts/hikes in September but will focus on long-term productivity, financial innovation, and reshaping the monetary policy framework.
Inflation Resilience and Alternative Inflation Metrics
The latest July core PCE year-on-year is 3.3%, still above the 2% target. Warsh has established multiple working groups to study new dimensions of inflation measurement. If he emphasizes inflation risks or sets very high thresholds for easing, short-term market liquidity will come under pressure.

First, the hardcore data: revenue of $96.2 billion, up 106% year-over-year, beating expectations by about $4 billion; data center revenue $89 billion, up 117% year-over-year, accounting for 93% of total revenue; GAAP net income $59.7 billion, up 126% year-over-year; adjusted EPS $2.22, up 120% year-over-year.
It's not the revenue itself, but the scale of the guidance. Nvidia gave its first-ever one-year-ahead earnings guidance—expecting fiscal 2028 revenue growth of about 70%, while analysts previously expected only 44%. The CFO clearly said: "We now have stronger visibility."
At the same time, the Q3 revenue guidance midpoint is $108 billion, meaning quarterly revenue will surpass $100 billion for the first time. AWS has committed to deploying an additional 2 million GPUs, further securing long-term demand.
#财报观察员：英伟达超预期，软件收入开始兑现 NVIDIA really nailed it this time, I jumped in on this dip just in time.
Both earnings and guidance exceeded expectations, the stock closed up 8.7%, adding $442 billion in market cap overnight, about ¥2.97 trillion RMB, pushing the total to $5.49 trillion. Revenue doubled, and next fiscal year's guidance is up about 70%, while Wall Street originally only dared to guess 45%.
This time they also finalized the largest acquisition in history: $12.9 billion to acquire the open-source AI platform Hugging Face. This platform's annualized revenue is only $150 million, which means they paid an 80x valuation; this price is rare in any M&A market. Meanwhile, Salesforce and Anthropic launched Claudeforce, which surged 22% in a single day, bringing software stocks back to life.
Honestly, it left me stunned. A closed-source chip giant throwing money to buy an open-source platform, while the "AI will kill SaaS" story got slapped down by an earnings report—compute power, open source, and software all mixed together. It's definitely lively, but paying $12.9 billion for a platform with $150 million in annual revenue—how does that math work? I honestly don't quite get it.
#财报观察员：英伟达超预期，软件收入开始兑现 $PURR ’s report explains why $HYPE is attracting attention. PURR holds ~29.3M HYPE worth ~$1.9B, with no debt, but its $30.55M profit includes unrealized gains; actual staking and validator income was ~$9.5M.
The bigger story is the flywheel: Hyperliquid fees → HYPE buybacks → higher HYPE value → stronger PURR NAV → more financing → more HYPE purchases.
PURR could become a “stock-ification” vehicle for HYPE. But with mNAV near 1.35x and bullish sentiment rising, crowding is the key risk. Crypto Morning Brief｜August 28
BTC is currently around $80,300, up about 2% in the past 24 hours; ETH is around $2,485, also maintaining a rebound. BTC reclaiming the $80,000 level indicates that the recent rally driven by short covering and capital inflows has not been disrupted for now.
Overnight, US stocks continued to strengthen, with Nvidia rising 8.7%, lifting the Nasdaq and tech sector; however, the market has not fully entered a one-sided risk-on mode, as US Treasury yields are rising simultaneously.
The US dollar remains largely unchanged as the market awaits Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's speech at Jackson Hole. Gold has risen slightly, having earlier reached its highest level since mid-May, indicating that capital is still paying attention to "hard assets" like gold and BTC.
The most important variable today is not simply whether BTC can continue to surge, but Warsh's stance on inflation and interest rate paths.
My judgment:
If the speech is dovish, the dollar and Treasury yields will fall back, making it easier for BTC and ETH to maintain strength.
If the speech is hawkish and yields continue to rise, profit-taking may appear above the $80,000 level first.
The overall environment remains bullish, but after a rapid rise, it is more important today to guard against event-driven volatility.In the past couple of days, there have been two noteworthy news in the financial markets: Japan is preparing to use blockchain to restructure the settlement infrastructure for stocks and government bonds, while banking associations from 39 U.S. states have jointly established the BankChain Alliance, planning to launch their own blockchain network for the banking industry around 2027. On the surface, these are fintech projects from two different countries, but when viewed together, they point to the same trend: blockchain is rapidly becoming an important part of traditional financial infrastructure. According to Japanese media reports, the Financial Services Agency, Ministry of Finance, and Bank of Japan plan to establish a research group this year to study blockchain-based payment infrastructure and formulate specific plans around early 2027. If ultimately approved, the system could be operational as early as the early 2030s. Its core goal is to compress the current T+2 settlement for stock trading and T+1 settlement for government bonds into real-time settlement. The real significance of this is not that Japan has started using blockchain as well, but that blockchain is beginning to enter the core clearing and settlement process of securities trading. In traditional financial systems, transactions, clearing, and settlement are often completed by different institutions and systems, with long time lags in between, requiring large reconciliations and capital mobilization. The advantage of blockchain is that the capital chain can be synchronously updated within a verifiable ledger system. If stocks, government bonds, and payment assets are all on-chain in the future, then once a transaction is completed, assets and funds will be settled simultaneously, no longer requiring a day or two wait. As for the US ban$BTC Climbing back above $80,000 should have been the most eye-catching star in the market. But the one that actually ran faster and showed greater resilience this round was $SOL. So the real thing to watch this time isn't how much BTC can rise, but why, after BTC breaks out, funds actually start to flock to SOL as a high-beta asset? 1. BTC first boosts market sentiment BTC regaining the $80,000 mark is driven by continued ETF inflows, a weaker dollar, and rising market risk appetite. Over the past seven trading days, US spot BTC ETFs have seen cumulative inflows of about $2.5 billion, indicating that this rally is not just short-term sentiment, but also real spot capital support. BTC now acts more like a "starter" for the entire market rally. Only when BTC stabilizes first can the market dare to add more positions to riskier, more resilient assets. 2. $ETH is also rising, but SOL is more elastic ETH has also rebounded noticeably this round, indicating that funds are no longer limited to BTC. But judging from the past few days, SOL's gains have even outperformed BTC and ETH at times. Market data once showed that during the BTC rebound above $80,000, ETH rose about 30% in five days, and SOL about 31%. This shows that after market risk appetite rose, funds began actively seeking higher beta targets. 3. Why is SOL easy to become a capital outlet? First, once BTC stabilizes, capital naturally spreads toward highly elastic assets. Simply put, B$BTC The US Treasury debt bomb is only getting bigger!
The 30-year yield has surged to 5.17%.
It was only 4.89% a year ago!
An increase of 28 basis points in just one year.
Global risk assets are all bearing the cost of more expensive money!
The US 30-year Treasury yield has risen from 4.89% to 5.17% over the past year, keeping long-term financing costs elevated. What really hurts the market is that persistently high long-term rates raise the discount rate for asset pricing and increase refinancing pressure on the US government.
This is also one of the key macro variables BTC should be watching now. Liquidity expectations and ETF funds are supporting the bulls, but if long-term bond yields keep rising, they will continue to compete with risk assets for capital, suppressing the space for high-valuation assets.
A 5.17% long-term bond yield is the toughest ceiling over the market's head.
Only when it starts to consistently fall will BTC and tech stocks enjoy a more comfortable liquidity environment!$SOL has traded around $100 six times over the past five years, but its valuation kept changing:
2021 → $29B
2022 → $34B
2023 → $43B
2025 → $52B
2026 → $57B
Aug 2026 → $59B
Same $100 price, completely different market cap. While the chart may look similar, Solana’s valuation has nearly doubled. That’s the key point: $100 SOL today represents a much larger network and market than the $100 SOL of previous years.
#DailyOrbit $BTC
The daily close stood above 80k
1D taker Delta is over -1600, indicating that there are still short-term holders selling, but all are absorbed by maker buy orders.
It seems that Wash will speak tonight at Jackson Hole, and this afternoon is the month-end options settlement.
If it doesn't break below 79300 and Wash doesn't turn hawkish, breaking through 82000 will happen before next Monday.
But if Wash shows excessive caution and hawkishness, a pullback to 77250 is expected. Bitcoin has reclaimed the $80,000 level, and market sentiment has clearly warmed up. This rally is certainly driven by policy expectations, but the deeper logic is that after long-term interest rates fell, capital is once again willing to price risk assets. To put it simply, it’s not that a huge positive surprise suddenly appeared, but that the liquidity expectations weighing on the market have started to loosen.#PCEToJacksonHole #AIMonetizationBroadens #BTCOptionsExpiryTest $SNDK 这个股票还是很不错的。 我个人认为，只要英伟达的股价不崩，闪迪的股票就还能继续买。 因为闪迪和英伟达的关系其实绑定的很深，可以说是一荣俱荣，一损俱损。 我认为，短期内，英伟达的股价还不太会崩。 可能在两大AI 巨头上市后，英伟达的股价才有可能出现大跌。 因为这一轮美股的牛市，本质上就是为了送三家公司上市。 有朋友会问，哪三家公司呢？ $SPCX $ANTHROPIC 和$OPENAI 这三家公司。 目前只有一家公司上市了，还有两家公司还在筹备。 所以短时间内美股应该不太会出现不可逆转的暴跌。 —————————————————— 我们看一下$SNDK 的合约数据。 我们可以发现，它的合约持仓量和合约多空比是有多次同步上涨的阶段的。 这就说明，在它下跌的过程中，是有很多的资金进去抄底的。 这也印证了我刚刚所说的逻辑，在三家公司没有都上市之前，这些巨头们不太会出现不可逆转的下跌。 所以，每当闪迪下跌的时候，市场都会出现很多资金进去抄底。 我们再来看一下长一点时间的数据。 我们可以发现，它现在的合约多空比和合约持仓量已经到了8月9日的水平。 在8月9日的时候，它的价格也是处于较低BTC is battling $80,000 again, with the real test coming from funds and the Fed. BTC has returned to around $80,000, with ETH holding around $2,500. More than the price itself, recent changes in capital are worth watching. US spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen net inflows for eight consecutive trading days, setting the longest consecutive inflow record since April. This means BTC's rapid rally, previously driven by short liquidations, is gradually gaining support from spot funds. Whether the $80,000 market can truly hold and whether ETF funds continue to flow in will be key indicators. However, the macro environment remains under pressure. US July PCE inflation reached 3.7% year-on-year, still clearly above the Fed's target. The market is waiting for Fed Chair Kevin Warsh to release new policy signals. If the Fed continues to emphasize inflation risks, US Treasury yields and the dollar may remain strong, putting pressure on BTC, ETH, and tech stocks. Meanwhile, AI continues to support global risk appetite. Nvidia's latest earnings have exceeded market expectations and are projected to grow about 70% in sales next fiscal year, boosting the chip sector. AI capital spending remains relatively resilient, supporting tech stocks and global risk asset sentiment. Another variable to watch comes from the Middle East. After signs of renewed tension in US-Iran relations, Brent crude rose again to near $90. If geopolitical risks further push energy prices higher, the market may once again face rumors of "rising oil prices→ increased inflationary pressures→ and high interest rates."The dollar strengthens, gold retreats, yet Bitcoin bucks the trend and rises—a combination that is almost impossible to explain within traditional market frameworks and has left many seasoned traders stunned. In recent years, BTC has been seen as a high-risk speculative asset, showing a strong correlation with the US dollar index; a stronger dollar often means pressure on the crypto market. But recent market trends show that this old logic is loosening, and Bitcoin has shown rare independence, seemingly telling a brand-new story. The core of market sentiment may have shifted from "risk appetite" to "asset revaluation." As discussions about the dollar's digital payment system heat up, Bitcoin, as the foundational asset of the crypto ecosystem, has been given a longer-term structural positioning by some capital rather than a mere short-term gaming tool. This shift in role allows it to attract incremental attention even in tight macro conditions. Tomorrow's meeting and statements from relevant officials may become catalysts for short-term divergence. Extreme scenarios where the US dollar and BTC rise together, and gold and the stock market fall together, are not impossible. But caution is needed that behind strength lies vulnerability. Logic reshaping does not equal a one-sided bull market; structural corrections can occur at high levels at any time, especially when prices deviate too far from short-term moving averages, and pullbacks often exceed expectations. Old cyclical experience is losing its effectiveness, and using old top-bottom models to judge current market conditions may not be appropriate. A more pragmatic approach is to observe capital reactions near key price levels, rather than rushing to place bets in specific directions. 📊 Risk warning: Market volatility is high.

PleaseThe trending list gives the total volume first, but I usually look at the source because it better illustrates how the hype spread. In the one-hour snapshot updated by OKX Onchain OS at 06:00 on August 28, BTC was mentioned 146 times, X accounted for 127 mentions, 19 news articles; ETH 47 times, X 38 times, and 9 news articles; SOL 71 times, X 69 times, and 2 news articles. Converted, X accounts for about 87% of BTC's hourly mentions, 81% of ETH, and 97% of SOL. These ratios are not about good or bad ratings but indicate where the message mainly spreads. X usually responds faster and captures immediate attention; news sources update slowly but are easier to return to specific events. When sources are highly concentrated on X, the reasonable approach is to increase timeliness sensitivity rather than lower verification standards. Source concentration also affects sentiment proportions. BTC currently overflows by 54% and bearish by 7%; ETH is bullish by 49% and bearish by 2%; SOL is slightly bullish by 72% and bearish by 7%. If a large amount of text comes from retweets of the same narrative, the classification ratio may be neat, but the amount of independent information may not be equally high, so a consistent tone should not be taken as broad consensus. News mentions do not automatically equal reliability. Aggregate rankings only show source categories and quantities, but do not mean every news article has been confirmed by project teams or regulatory agencies.

There are three core reasons behind this rally: First, AQAv2 officially launched — allocating 90% of the $6.74 billion USDC reserve yield to HYPE buyback and burn, with the first approximately $20 million expected to arrive on October 3, and an annualized additional buyback scale of $135-160 million.

Jane Street has significantly increased its SanDisk holdings to 7.41 million shares, valued at approximately $9 billion. This is an increase of 6.25 million shares, or about 540%. It has become the second largest single stock holding after SPY, surpassing holdings in Amazon, Nvidia, and Microsoft.
Why bet at this position?
SanDisk's stock has risen over 3000% in the past 12 months but is still about 36% below its historical high, with volatile price fluctuations. Jane Street is betting on the structural demand from AI data centers: SanDisk's data center business revenue for fiscal year 2026 is expected to grow 437% year-over-year to $5.15 billion, with shipments increasing from 12% to 38% of total. Eight long-term agreements lock in a minimum revenue of $93.9 billion, with remaining performance obligations of $91.1 billion.
Jane Street is a market maker, not a long-term value investor. The 5.47% holding may be adjusted at any time as part of hedging strategies. However, an institution of this scale choosing to heavily invest in SanDisk at a high level indicates that the $93.9 billion long-term contracts, HBF, and AI inference storage narratives are seen on Wall Street as "worth validating with $9 billion." This company's stock price has increased 30-fold in the past year, but institutions are pricing it as AI infrastructure rather than a cyclical stock.
