Strategy's net debt is zero! $65 billion in $BTC on hand, Saylor's "zero leverage" king returns
Just now, a Bloomberg interview dropped big news: Strategy CEO Phong Le confirmed the company has total assets of $72 billion, including $65 billion in Bitcoin (about 845,000 BTC, over 4% of circulating supply), $7 billion in cash, and net debt reduced from about $7 billion to zero.
The key is not "how much is held," but the change in balance sheet structure:
• After stopping purchases for about 9 weeks, they resumed buying at the end of August (4,603 BTC at an average price of $80,300)
• Zero debt plus increased cash means defusing the bomb of the high-leverage model planned for 2025
• Le explicitly said: they will continue buying at $80k/$100k/$130k+, focusing on capital structure rather than price
In plain terms: previously it was "borrowing money to accumulate BTC," now it's "equity financing + zero debt base" to accumulate BTC. MSTR has transformed from a leveraged crypto play into a BTC treasury bond with software cash flow, able to withstand downturns and participate in upswings without liquidation.
Signals for retail investors:
① Institutional cost basis is about $76,000; current price is above that so they are still in profit, expecting weak selling pressure
② Corporate treasury buying is back; the $80k range is not a top but a reference for consolidation
③ But don't get carried away—zero debt ≠ no BTC pullbacks; grid trading/dollar-cost averaging is still more comfortable than all-in.On the surface, it looks like it's about to hit 79,000, but when I watch the market, I always feel something is off. Have you noticed that this kind of "low point rises, everyone wants to get in the stock" market is often the most deceitful? Tonight I opened a long BTCUSDT position—not impulsive, but after making a full plan. Entry at 78,319.4, 20x leverage, very small position, only 0.0027. Stop-loss at 77,000, target between 79,000 and 79,500. Liquidation price 72,071.8—I know what this distance means: if wrong, I won't hold the position. Here's the market detail I saw. BTC slowly wears down from 77,400 to 78,300, and the bottom is indeed rising. MA5 is at 78,125, MA10 at 78,013, both lines are below the price base, giving short-term buyers the advantage. The 77,400 to 77,600 range was tested twice today but never broken, so support is real. But the resistance between 79,000 and 79,400 is also real; once there, I will proactively reduce my position and not take the last bite. I understand what the market is trading. Tonight, US employment data will be released intensively, and Walsh's policy stance is being repeatedly tested. BTC's linkage with gold is now strengthening, indicating that funds are allocating as safe-haven assets, not pure risk assets. This positioning shift is very important, meaning that even if there is volatility in the US market, BTC's downside could still be affectedReasons for OKX Removing CORE On-Chain Earning Feature
Risk Warning: Virtual currencies are not protected by domestic laws. The following is only an industry information review and does not constitute investment advice.
The exchange has not issued a separate long qualitative announcement specifically for CORE. Based on industry rules, product mechanisms, and community information, there are four layers of real reasons:
1. Protocol-level risks: CORE staking has a long unlocking period and high technical uncertainty
CORE on-chain staking has an unlocking waiting period; after delegated staking, immediate redemption is not possible. In case of mainnet upgrades, validator failures, or protocol bugs, the exchange cannot quickly retrieve user assets.
On-chain earning means the exchange stakes on behalf of users on the public chain. If the network experiences anomalies, the exchange must bear the redemption pressure from users. Core DAO’s early validator reward mechanism had abnormal incidents, amplifying platform risk concerns.
Note: This does not mean CORE is worthless; the exchange simply no longer provides the staking entry. Users can still withdraw CORE to the official wallet and stake on-chain themselves.
2. Exchange’s overall contraction of on-chain earning products
OKX is not only removing CORE but has gradually delisted on-chain staking products for multiple public chains (Avalanche, OKT, etc.).
Overseas regulations (such as the EU’s MiCA) impose increasingly strict compliance requirements on centralized platforms proxying DeFi staking: platforms must bear compliance responsibility for risks, returns, and lock-up consequences of staking. Many exchanges proactively reduce third-party public chain delegated staking earning services to lessen compliance burdens.
The on-chain earning protocol itself allows platforms to pause or remove staking products at any time, as stated in the user agreement.
3. Mismatch between returns and operational costs
- CORE staking rewards come from block inflation rewards, which fluctuate greatly; inflation release schedules may change;
- The exchange must maintain nodes, collect rewards, pay on-chain gas fees, and manage user redemption scheduling;
- If the coin price continues to bottom out, staking returns become less attractive, the platform bears technical and redemption risks, but the commercial value generated is limited, so this product is prioritized for removal.
4. Clarification of market misconceptions
❌ Misconception 1: Removing earning means delisting CORE trading
→ Incorrect, only the "on-chain earning/staking finance" is removed; spot trading and deposits/withdrawals remain normal.
❌ Misconception 2: The project had a major security breach and ran away
→ No official announcement disclosing major security incidents; the mainnet is operating normally.
❌ Misconception 3: The exchange is bearish on this project
→ Removing finance products ≠ denying the coin narrative; finance products are independent and have separate review logic from coin trading pairs.
Practical tips for users
1. For CORE already in on-chain earning: the exchange will execute redemption and return funds to the account; pay attention to platform redemption cycle notifications;
2. For those who still want to participate in CORE staking: withdraw CORE from the exchange to the official Core wallet and delegate stake directly on the Core DAO official website, bearing lock-up and network risks yourself;
3. Distinguish between exchange-custodied staking vs. user self-custodied on-chain staking; the risks are completely different.Shorted CRM at 260 last night $CRM
Three points of logic:
1️⃣ Three days after the earnings report, the price hit a new high, but volume was halved: 55.52 million → 34.36 million → 22.47 million, and today it’s only 6.07 million so far. The volume for the upward push is gone, only the position remains.
2️⃣ The gap up at 24.43 on August 27 is still hanging.
3️⃣ The current macro environment is a combination of slowing growth and sticky inflation, with unstable risk appetite.
Overall, the cost-performance of shorting now is quite high.
If the close stands above 263.5, I will consider exiting, with a hard stop loss at 266Bitcoin Is Pulling Back. The Leverage Flush May Matter More Than The Price. $BTC is back below $80K. But I’m not looking at the pullback alone. I’m watching what is happening underneath it. Bitcoin futures open interest was around $54.8B recently, while derivatives positioning has been cooling after the aggressive late-August move. That matters because falling open interest during weakness can mean leverage is being removed rather than fresh leverage piling into the selloff. 0 That distinctionThe crypto industry is sparking a wave of token economy reforms.
Fifteen projects including Ethena, Solana, and Polygon are rewriting token models, focusing on four core directions: curbing inflation, buybacks, unlocking adjustments, and staking modifications.
This year, project teams have repurchased nearly $640 million, surpassing the same period last year.
However, Hyperliquid and pump.fun alone account for 90%, indicating that value capture transformation remains highly concentrated.
Buybacks do not necessarily mean price increases; Chainlink, Jupiter, and Layerzero all fell after buybacks.
The key is not how many tokens are burned, but whether the overall pie can grow.
The token economy is shifting from "designing a set of rules" to "designing a business." $SOL $ETH September 1st is the dividing line: Q3 rebound has already completed 70%
The current market situation is actually very clear.
Just like how ETH clearly strengthened after June 30th ended and July 1st began, September 1st is another very clear dividing line: the adjustment has started.
ETH has been rising continuously for two months and it’s time for a correction.
I mentioned a few days ago:
This Q3 rebound has already completed about 70%.
ETH rose from around 1500 to 2500–2560, with a cumulative increase of over 60%. For a quarterly rebound in a bear market, this is already a very high range.
So if you gradually built your ETH position in the 1500–1700 bottom area and hold a heavy spot position, I think you should have started to realize profits:
At least 40%–50%.
Around 2400 is still considered a high-level area.
Bottoms are not all-in in one day, and highs are not all-out in one day.
Buy in batches at low levels, sell in batches at high levels.
Of course, if you are a long-term holder who doesn’t move for years, just ignore what I said.
Now looking at UNI.
UNI has nearly doubled in this round, and the upside space is clearly narrowing. Currently, I see it more as repeated pullbacks within a downward structure.
It won’t drop all in one day, because September is still the last month of Q3, and the quarterly line is still rising.
But if I still hold UNI spot now:
I would choose to basically realize almost all profits.
For ETH, I still see two scenarios I’ve repeatedly mentioned before.
First, a strong correction: bottoming near 2200.
If it can hold here steadily, there is still one last chance in September to retake the previous high of 2560, and if stronger, even higher.
Second, a weak correction: near 2000 or even breaking below 2000.
If it goes like this, then the subsequent rebound height will most likely be lower than 2560, and 2560 itself might be the final high of this Q3 rebound.
And don’t forget the most important issue:
Volume.
I have been emphasizing recently that the trading volume during this ETH rise has never truly kept up.
Even if this time it only corrects to 2200 and then rebounds, I am not blindly optimistic about 2800–3000.
Because for the main force to pull ETH from 2500 to 2800 requires real cost in actual money.
Without new volume, the higher it goes, the more it tends to become a distribution area for low-level spot funds rather than a chase-up area for new funds.
So now we can only:
Move forward while watching the volume.
I still believe there will be one last rebound in Q3 during September.
But after September ends, the whole logic will be completely different.
This round of BTC and ETH rise itself is typical:
Price rises fast, but volume does not keep up.
So my judgment remains unchanged:
Q3 is a math problem rebound, not a new bull market.
And this round of volume-less rise is precisely providing counter-evidence for a Q4 decline.The probability of a rate hike has surged to 68%, yet the crypto community is still debating "how many rate cuts"?
Two weeks ago, the market assigned a 35% chance of a rate hike in September; now it's 66%-68%. This isn't just a correction of expectations, it's a complete rewrite of the entire script.
The main character is Federal Reserve Chair Powell. At Jackson Hole, he never mentioned "rate hikes" but reiterated the 2% target, questioned whether core inflation is truly declining, refused to provide forward guidance, and advocated for the Fed to communicate "more quietly." Translation: I'm not telling you what I'm going to do; you figure it out yourself. The CME FedWatch reaction was immediate: the probability of a 25 basis point hike on September 16 climbed from 35% to nearly 70%, with at least one hike priced in for the year.
What's even more critical is the reversal of logic: the Fed's default stance shifted from "no action unless data demands it" to "act unless data proves no need to." Deutsche Bank, Barclays, and Societe Generale have revised their forecasts to bet on 25bp hikes in both September and December, while Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley still bet on no hikes.
My position: the biggest risk this round isn't the Middle East, it's interest rates. The 10-year US Treasury yield has reached its highest level since early 2025, sharply raising the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets. #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 $BTC $ETH $CL Last night WTI surged directly to 90.82, Brent crude broke through 95, catching the shorts off guard. The trigger was the US military airstrike on targets inside Iran, with two oil tankers attacked in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump immediately warned that if Iran retaliates, it will be completely wiped out. The reason oil prices have been rising is simple: the Strait of Hormuz is the choke point for 21% of global oil trade. Now that fighting has broken out there, the geopolitical premium is far from fully priced in. The market has not yet factored in the possibility of a full blockade of the strait; if the situation escalates further, not only 92 but even 100 could be reached. The geopolitical-driven rise has always been characterized by sharp surges and longer-than-expected persistence. As long as the strait remains unstable, oil prices are easier to rise than fall. Shorts can wait for signals, but never stubbornly catch a falling knife. Now that it has pulled back near 90, you can lightly try going long, with a stop loss below 89.5, targeting 92.5 first; if it holds, then look at 95. #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 #Robinhood链上放量，币股Meme引争议 #财报观察员：戴尔业绩超预期，博通雪花接棒 🚨ISM+JOLTS released, the market is caught in a dilemma.
ISM Manufacturing at 54.6 (previous 55.6, expected 55.2), still expanding but momentum is slowing; JOLTS job openings at 7.27 million, a slight rebound.
Neither data is decisive, the probability of a rate hike in September has already reached over 66%, and US Treasury yields remain high.
The real drama is Friday's Nonfarm Payrolls: weak data → cooling rate hike expectations; strong data → hawkish logic reinforced.
$BTC is under pressure and fluctuating around 77500.
Employment is slowly cooling without crashing, this kind of pattern is the most frustrating.
Don't bet on direction prematurely, wait for the Nonfarm data to land before deciding. The big picture hasn't changed, only the pace is shifting. Showing my positions without hiding. BTC current price 77018, down 1.05% in 24h, high 78388 low 76385. Equity 3972U, total unrealized loss 864U, margin ratio 1865%, far from liquidation.
Going through the four long positions one by one, reporting entry points without leverage:
1. BTC long: opened at 78341.8 now 77018, unrealized loss 50U. Supports at 77000, 76500, 76385; resistances at 77364, 77742, 78000. If it breaks below 76385, admit mistake and reduce position; reduce half on rebound between 77742 and 78000.
2. Gold long: opened at 4433.6 now 4328, unrealized loss 715U, biggest loss source. Supports at 4300, 4288, 4250; resistances at 4372, 4416. Cut half if it breaks 4288, don’t let one position drag down the whole account.
3. Silver long: opened at 65.35 now 64.16, unrealized loss 110U, liquidation price 22.9 is far away, reduce position before breaking previous low 63.43.
4. BCH long: opened at 245.8 now 245, unrealized loss 2U, stop loss set at 240.6.
Knowledge point: Why hasn’t gold’s 71% unrealized loss triggered liquidation? All four positions share margin; margin ratio 1865% means minimum requirement is 18x. But don’t feel safe and hold recklessly; the biggest pitfall is one big losing position slowly eating up margin from other positions.
Currently recovering from a 200,000U loss, always use stop loss if not holding. The most urgent thing now is to firmly set stop loss on gold, the biggest losing position. $BTC #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 $ETH ETF has had net inflows for 11 consecutive trading days, but this does not mean the price will rise sharply.
According to data compiled by Farside, on August 31, the US spot ETH ETF had net inflows of about $87.6 million, with BlackRock ETHA accounting for about $59.9 million. Continuous capital inflow indicates there is demand support, but it itself is not a confirmation of a breakout.
I am more focused on three follow-up signals:
1. Whether a higher low can be formed during pullbacks, rather than relying on a single long lower shadow to hold;
2. Whether there can be consecutive closing confirmations after breaking resistance;
3. Whether ETF funds can continue to flow in, rather than relying on data from just one day.
Capital flow tells us "someone is absorbing," while the candlestick structure determines "whether buying has transformed into a trend." If the price repeatedly returns inside the breakout zone, it is more likely a supported consolidation rather than a confirmed new trend.
Are you more focused now on ETF funds or on the $ETH candlestick structure? $BTC Bitcoin has recently been fluctuating around $80,000, with the market starting to focus on the approximately $6.44 billion worth of Deribit options expiring this Friday. The huge figures easily trigger concerns of a "delivery day crash," but the nominal value does not equal actual capital inflow or outflow; a significant portion of these options may expire worthless, so it should not be simply interpreted as sell-off pressure.
The widely discussed $70,000 "maximum pain point" is also not necessarily the target price Bitcoin will fall to. In contrast, the $75,000 to $80,000 range is where option positions are more densely concentrated. When the price fluctuates here, market makers' hedging may actually limit short-term volatility.
What is truly worth watching are the macro factors. If Federal Reserve policy signals coincide with the option expiration, it could amplify market moves. If the price breaks below $75,000, attention can be paid to around $69,000; if it effectively breaks above $80,000, it could open up further upside potential.
Therefore, this option expiration is more like a short-term disturbance rather than a decisive "bull-bear showdown" for the trend. In trading, there is no need to be swayed by delivery day sentiment; waiting for a genuine breakout or breakdown at key levels is often more important than prematurely betting on direction. $ETH #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 #21家金融机构拟推美元稳定币 #BTC高位回落，黄金联动受考验 Single-quarter revenue of $96.2 billion, data center revenue up 117% year-over-year, and preparing to reach $108 billion next quarter. Such a report card would be enough to pop champagne for most companies. But for Nvidia, the market's first reaction was to find faults, with shares weakening after hours before turning positive again after the earnings call. This is not because investors don't understand growth, but because Nvidia has turned "exceeding expectations" into just meeting the baseline. I think what this earnings report truly exposes is not that AI demand has suddenly peaked, but that the market has given Nvidia a new exam. The previous question was: Do AI chips even have customers? Now the question is: Can customers recoup the huge capital expenditures they spend from their own users? The company's data center revenue this quarter reached $89 billion, with a gross margin maintained at 75%, clearly indicating strong hardware demand. Wall Street expects that large tech companies' AI infrastructure spending will jump from about $400 billion last year to over $730 billion this year. As long as these data centers continue to operate, GPU orders will have support. But the market is starting to question the "gold content" of the funds. Chip companies invest in computing power service providers, who raise funds to build data centers, then come back to purchase chips; cloud providers and model companies are also intertwined through long-term contracts, equity, and debt. This doesn't mean the demand is fake, but it does mean some orders depend simultaneously on technological progress and the financing environment. Nvidia disclosed guarantees related to land, power, and data center shells, mostOver the past week, the crypto market experienced a fierce short squeeze, with Bitcoin rapidly rising from around $62,000 to above $77,000, liquidating a large number of leveraged short positions. However, on-chain data shows that some institutions continued to increase their ETH and BTC short positions during the rally, with a scale exceeding $600 million.
On the surface, this looks bearish from institutions; in reality, many of these positions are not directional shorts but typical "basis arbitrage." Institutions hold spot assets while shorting perpetual contracts, hedging price risk and primarily earning funding rates.
As the market strengthened in August, perpetual contract funding rates turned positive again, significantly expanding arbitrage opportunities. For large market makers, as long as the market remains active and leveraged funds keep flowing in, they can continuously earn funding rates without betting on Bitcoin's ultimate price direction.
What truly deserves caution is the completely different trading logic between retail investors and institutions: retail relies on directional bets and leverage to speculate on volatility, while institutions prefer to exploit market structure for stable returns. Understanding this is key to avoiding misinterpreting institutions' "hedged short positions" as a signal of a crash. $BTC $ETH $SNDK #21家金融机构拟推美元稳定币 #BTC高位回落，黄金联动受考验 #加密财库扩张面临指数资格考验 Brent crude oil rose 4.5% over two days to $96.18, with a cumulative increase of 51% this year. US 10-year Treasury yield at 4.798%, new high since January 2025 Japan 10-year Treasury yield at 3% for the first time since October 1996 Bitcoin at $76,454 fell 2.4% in 24 hours Four events happened on the same day $BTC US-Iran war reignited → Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz → Oil prices surged ($96+) → Inflation expectations heated up across the board → Global bond markets crashed simultaneously (yields in Germany, UK, Japan, and US Treasuries surged) → Fed rate hike probability jumped from 30%+ to 66% → Non-yielding assets under pressure → BTC fell below $77,000 CL Geopolitical conflict erupted, so Bitcoin's "safe-haven nature" should be activated, right? So what happened? Oil prices rose, BTC fell. Why? Because the market is trading not "safe-haven" but "rate hikes." Oil prices soaring → inflation heating up→ the Fed must raise rates → funds withdraw from risk assets→ BTC is being dumped as a risk asset. Bitcoin's "safe-haven narrative" is nothing in the face of "rate hike expectations." Germany's 10-year government bond yield soars to its highest level since 2011; UK 10-year government bond yield soars to its highest since 2008; Japan's 10-year government bond yield soars to its highest since 1996; U.S. Treasury Secretary Bescent said, "High yields reflect a strong economy," and said, "I..."The probability of a Fed rate hike has risen to 68%, whereas yesterday during Ajian's analysis this figure was still 65%, and about 40% just a week ago. Brent crude oil also once broke through around $95. It can be said that the escalation of the US-Iran conflict has brought the transport risk of the Strait of Hormuz back to the market, which has led to an increasingly clear transmission chain: oil price ↑, inflation expectations ↑, bond yields ↑, Fed rate cut space ↓, risk asset valuations ↓
So recently I increasingly like to use what the market fears most to judge macro conditions. Now the market fears no longer revolve around war; war has become a known variable. Ultimately, war ends up affecting the entire liquidity environment. When the above transmission chain fully forms, it means the Fed doesn't even need to be particularly hawkish; the market itself will tighten financial conditions, and that is the most troublesome #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 $CORE CORE staked tokens have been returned to wallets, what does this mean👀
A large number of community users have reported: CORE staked on validator nodes has been returned to individual wallet addresses. Many people's first reaction: Is there a problem with the staking system?
📌The real background of the event
It is not that the staking contract was hacked, nor that user assets were stolen.
Due to a node reward bug, the project team initiated an emergency hard fork fix. To avoid risks of abnormal staking logic during the upgrade, the system triggered a staking unlock and return mechanism, unstaking tokens in batches and returning them to users' original wallets.
Key distinctions:
✅User staking principal is safe; assets have genuinely returned under the control of their own wallet private keys;
⚠️Only the staking status is lifted, which does not mean the bug event is fully resolved; the disposal plan for the excess reward tokens has not yet been announced.
✅Positive aspects
1. Principal returned to personal wallets, no longer delegated to nodes for staking; users have full control over their assets, avoiding unknown risks in the staking contract during the upgrade period.
2. Indirectly confirms the official is advancing preparations for the hard fork; the network is clearing states for the protocol upgrade.
⚠️Real risks to be aware of
1. All staking unlocked, causing a short-term passive increase in market circulation.
A large amount of originally locked and staked CORE becomes transferable and tradable, theoretically increasing potential selling pressure in the secondary market; some users may choose to sell and exit after receiving the tokens.
2. Network staking rate will drop significantly, reducing network security weight in the short term. With reduced staking shares, the block production weight structure changes; network stability needs to be observed after the hard fork completion.
3. Staking return ≠ event closure
The principal is back, but the disposal plan for the excess reward tokens generated by the bug remains unresolved; multiple exchanges still have deposit and withdrawal restrictions. Staking return is only a preparatory step before the hard fork, not the end of the event.
🎯Practical reminders
1. Tokens are back in wallets; keep private keys safe and do not click on unfamiliar authorization links.
2. Do not panic sell blindly just because tokens are back, nor jump in recklessly thinking it’s a big positive.
3. Focus on two signals going forward:
① Official announcement of the total excess token amount and complete disposal plan
② Successful completion of the hard fork and exchanges’ evaluation to resume deposits and withdrawals.
Until the hard fork is implemented and the disposal plan is finalized on-chain, market uncertainty remains; contracts strictly control leverage.
$CORE
⚠️On-chain signal interpretation, not investment advice$BTC has reached 77000, $ETH is at 2400!
The macro side is clearly tightening: after a hawkish statement from Powell, the market quickly priced in September actions.
Short-term US Treasury yields are rising, the dollar is strengthening, and risk assets are generally under pressure. Some institutions have already started pricing in consecutive moves in September and December, with liquidity expectations not as loose as before.
This week, JOLTS, ADP, and Nonfarm Payrolls will be released in sequence. The market expects new jobs to be in the range of 50,000 to 80,000, with the unemployment rate around 4.1%. Any deviation will amplify crypto volatility, especially since BTC and ETH derivatives positions are already very sensitive.
Don't overlook the seasonal factor either; September has historically been a weak window for crypto, compounded by the interest rate path and geopolitical uncertainties! #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 Two sets of observation systems under the macro cycle: ETF watches institutions, gold watches risk aversion, clarifying the positioning of BTC, ETH, and ZEC📊
The current market can be divided into two observation systems: $BTC ETF monitors institutional capital sentiment; gold monitors global risk aversion sentiment, and the two systems jointly influence crypto assets.
BTC: the main battlefield for institutional capital, with ETFs directly determining major support levels; $ETH: combines speculative and ecological attributes, heavily impacted by macro news; $ZEC relies on narrative-driven momentum, prone to short-term bursts in a volatile macro environment but difficult to sustain large trends.
When institutional capital (ETF) and risk aversion sentiment (gold) move in the same direction, the market trend is clearer; when they diverge, the market enters a high-volatility pattern.
For contract trading, betting on a single direction is not recommended. Do not go long just because of ETFs, nor short just because gold rises.
In a volatile market, a range-bound approach is more suitable. Spot trading can patiently wait for resonance signals, while contracts must strictly control leverage to avoid being shaken out.

#财报观察员：戴尔业绩超预期，博通雪花接棒 #21 Financial Institutions Plan to Launch USD Stablecoin
Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, and 21 global financial institutions have officially announced plans to establish a joint venture in the second half of 2026 and launch a bank-backed USD stablecoin in the first half of 2027. Subsequently, they will prioritize expanding stablecoins for G7 currencies such as the Euro, aligning with the GENIUS Act and MiCA regulatory framework.
This marks a major entry of traditional finance into the stablecoin sector, which will impact the current landscape of USDT and USDC. Institutional compliant funding channels on-chain will be broadened, benefiting the long-term compliance of the crypto industry. However, the implementation timeline is long, so in the short term, this is more of a sentiment catalyst.
BTC and ETH markets have no direct drivers from this and will continue to be influenced by macro liquidity conditions.
Stablecoin-related assets are only driven by thematic factors; do not mistake long-term plans for immediate benefits.
Going forward, focus on tracking the implementation progress and the impact on the market shares of USDC and USDT.
This is only a personal market record and does not constitute any investment advice.The biggest risk in September may not be a failure to cut interest rates, but rather simultaneous tightening by the US and Japan.
Current market signals are quite clear, indicating a possible shift toward tighter global monetary policy in September. Data shows about a 60% chance the Federal Reserve will raise rates by 25 basis points in September, and about a 40% chance rates will remain unchanged; for the Bank of Japan, the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike is even higher, around 99%. If market pricing comes true, simultaneous rate hikes by the US and Japan would mean global funding costs will rise further.
The market may then enter a phase of "high volatility and revaluation." US rate hikes will push up risk-free rates, putting pressure on high-valuation tech stocks, growth stocks, and cryptocurrencies; Japanese rate hikes could increase yen funding costs, potentially leading to gradual withdrawal of positions that previously relied on low-interest yen funding. In the short term, capital may favor defensive assets such as the US dollar, cash, and short-term bonds.
Therefore, in the coming period, market focus will shift from "when rates will be cut" to how high and how long rates will remain. If inflation remains strong, both the stock and crypto markets should be wary of further valuation corrections. $BTC Geopolitical black swan smashed through the "80,000 pivot"
BTC current price is $77,101, down -1.49% in 24h, lowest hit 76,420, highest 79,221, daily volatility about 2,800 points.
Yesterday it was still testing near 79K, but this morning, impacted by news of US airstrikes near Hormuz on Iranian targets and Iran's missile retaliation, it directly fell below 77,000, with 76K–77K becoming the new primary support.
Trend: If 76K holds, consolidation in the range; only above 78K can there be some breathing room, and 80K is the key to confirming a new bull run; this week looks to fluctuate between 75K–79K.
$ETH broke below 2400, ETF buying for 11 consecutive days is the only support
ETH current price is $2,406, down -1.99% in 24h, after breaking below 2400 intraday, it slightly recovered.
The US-Iran situation plus oil prices push inflation expectations, suppressing the entire risk asset market; ETH itself lacks new narrative catalysts, so short-term movement is dictated by capital flows.
Trend: 2400 is the dividing line between bulls and bears; holding it suggests oscillation between 2400–2500, losing it means probing down to 2300; mid-term still expects ETF continuous inflows to provide support, unlikely to see large unilateral moves before the September FOMC.
$SOL Hundred-dollar threshold defense battle
SOL current price is about $99, down about -3.5% in 24h (leading the mainstream decline), retreating from the 8/27 high of 110.38.
The psychological 100-dollar level is hanging by a thread. In August, SOL surged about 46%, ending a 10-month consecutive decline; profit-taking concentrated at the beginning of the month, and forced liquidation of leveraged longs intensified volatility.
Trend: As long as 98 does not break, the trend structure remains intact, pullbacks are buying opportunities; breaking below means a deep correction. Overall "long-term bullish, short-term correction." BTC, as a risk asset, is influenced by the macro situation; it doesn't mean the market is gone.
$BTC current price is about $77,133, 24H -0.93%. BTC has been consolidating near $77K–80K for almost a week. The key now is not to guess which candlestick will break out, but to see if the chips within this range have been cleaned out.
Currently, spot demand has not completely disappeared: at the start of September, the US stock market spot BTC ETF still recorded a net inflow of about $142M; however, weekly ETF inflows have dropped from about $1.92B previously to about $924.5M, showing a clear cooling of incremental funds.
What truly suppresses BTC is the macro environment: the US-Iran conflict pushes up oil prices, the 10Y US Treasury yield approaches 4.81%, and the market even pushes the probability of a September rate hike to about 67%, putting pressure on risk assets.
Therefore, my judgment is: this is a high-level sideways consolidation, short-term bias is bullish, but do not chase before a breakout. $76.2K–77K is the first support, $74K is strong support; $80K is the first resistance, and if volume breaks and holds above it, look to $83K–85K.
Strategy: those with positions continue to hold; those without positions wait for a confirmed breakout above $80K to chase, or wait for a pullback near $76K to buy.
If volume breaks below $74K, especially if ETFs turn negative consecutively, the sideways consolidation logic is invalidated; at that time, it is not a shakeout but a weakening trend.$BTC Can the US and Iran stop fighting! The longs in the market are barely holding on, and tonight everyone is watching the same thing
76,400.
The group chat has gone quiet. Those who were shouting "buy the dip" a few days ago are silent now, people who posted profit screenshots have deleted their moments, and some are starting to ask "should we cut losses?".
This is not just one person's story; it's the collective state of all long holders in the market right now.
Why can't they hold on:
On 8/28 the high was 81,354, with a 5.3% pullback in three days. It doesn't seem much, but if you opened a 3x long at 79K, you're now close to the liquidation line. If you chased spot at 81K, the unrealized loss of $5,900 feels heavier than the number itself.
What's worse is that there's no bottom in sight. US-Iran clashes, oil prices breaking 90, the probability of a rate hike by the Fed jumping to 64%, and ETF outflows of 202 million on 8/28 — the bearish factors aren't coming one by one, they're hitting all at once. You tell yourself "hold long term," but your account balance shrinks every day, and willpower has its limits.
But they are also waiting for confirmation of three things:
① Can 75,800 hold? This is the real on-chain average; the last three retests held. If this time the 4H candle dips below 75,800 and then recovers, it's a classic "false break + catch the dip" bottom pattern. If it doesn't recover, 74,200 is the next anchor.
② Is 74,800 the panic extreme? This level concentrates a large number of leveraged long liquidations. Once there, the trend is not decided by fundamentals but by liquidity from forced liquidations. Passing this threshold might actually mark the bottom — because those who needed to cut losses already have.
③ Is the ETF still around? On 8/31 there was a net inflow of 217 million, indicating institutions near 76K haven't fully exited. If there are net inflows for three consecutive days, 76K is a phase bottom; if outflows continue, the story isn't over.
What is the market doing now:
It's not a one-way crash; it's using time to buy space — dropping a little each day to wear down the longs' patience, waiting for the most fragile to surrender their positions. 360 million liquidated in 24h, longs account for 78%, showing leverage is indeed being cleared but hasn't reached panic extremes yet (Funding is still positive).
In one sentence:
76,400 is neither a bottom nor a top; the market is asking you a question — is your money yours or the market's? Those who can answer this will catch below 75,800; those who can't will exit above 74,800. There's no right or wrong, only what suits you.
Comrades, will you catch at 75,800? Or wait for confirmation at 74,800? Let's chat in the comments, no judgment 🤝
⚠️ Market observation + personal framework, not investment advice. $BTC Recently, when looking at SanDisk, I've developed a fixed routine:
Open the market data, feel like it's rising too fast;
Close the software, tell myself to wait for a pullback;
After a while, I can't help but open it again to see if it has risen further.
AI servers need not only chips but also massive data storage. As long as AI infrastructure continues to expand, NAND demand will be supported; this logic isn't complicated. The hard part is that the market has also understood this, and the stock price has already run far ahead.
SanDisk also happens to have strong cyclical characteristics.
When demand is strong, prices rise, and profits improve, everything seems smooth; but once the industry expands production, inventory rises, or prices loosen, the market can turn quickly. Buying in now means purchasing not just company growth but also a judgment on how long this storage boom can last.
So every time I’m about to act quickly, I hesitate again.
The fear of missing out is real, and so is the fear of buying in at the peak of excitement.
SanDisk now feels like a car that has already driven very far. I know it might keep going forward, but jumping on while it's speeding definitely takes some courage.
For now, I'll keep it on my watchlist.
Some money missed is regrettable, but rushing in just to avoid regret usually makes it harder to sleep. $SNDK #闪迪MSCI调仓生效，NAND估值受关注 $6.16B of weekly DEX volume against just $725M of TVL looks impressive, but I'm watching what people are actually trading. Stock-paired memes have now beaten tokenized-stock volume for four straight days. That makes Robinhood Chain's growth harder to label as an RWA breakout just yet.
Speculation can bootstrap liquidity and users, but durability comes when capital stays for real financial products. The next milestone isn't more volume. It's proving that tokenized assets. #RobinhoodChainSurge Recently, I came across a video of Li Shanglong discussing the Ye Junde fall incident. In it, he talked about private keys and freedom. The gist is: keeping a private key in your mind is not freedom, but isolation; If you hold the private key in your own hands, others can't intervene, which means others can't help you; A person who remembers the private key is like a walking safe in the eyes of bad people—priing open a person is much easier than opening a bank. He also mentioned that the original intention of cryptocurrency is to return control of wealth from banks and governments to individuals. This ideal is wonderful, but when ownership returns to individuals, the risks also return to individuals. Authority takes away your freedom, and authority backs you up. These words sound reasonable on their own. But after watching them, I kept feeling something was off. Thinking carefully, I found he linked private keys, Bitcoin, and freedom, and explained Ye Junde's case as "the price of freedom." Ye Junde's case is still unconclusive. Was it an accident, suicide, or homicide? The local investigation is ongoing. Online claims that he was kidnapped and interrogated about private keys are just speculation. Let's take a step back and consider the worst-case scenario: suppose he was kidnapped, and the other party pressured him for money, ultimately causing him to fall from a building. Even so, the kidnappers targeted him not because of the private key, but because of money. A few days ago, I watched "Empty Gun." The movie tells the story of Zhang Ziqiang kidnapping a wealthy man in the 1990s. The kidnappers kidnapped the tycoon because he had money. In the end, they also wanted cash; the family went to the bank to withdraw the money and handed it over to the kidnappers. No one would get cash just because the kidnappers took cash📊 Overall: The market is down, altcoins are "splitting" Bitcoin dropped to around 77,300, Ethereum to 2,416, SOL fell below 100. But the total crypto market cap dropped 3.84%, nearly twice Bitcoin's decline (1.95%)—altcoins are bleeding separately. Bitcoin's market cap dominance is as high as 59.07%. The altcoin season index is only 28, far from the 75 threshold. 🚀 Gainers: FIL and UNI lead the charge FIL rose 14.6% to $0.79; UNI rose 10.9% to $6, catalyzed by a surge in RWA trading volume on Robinhood Chain; CRV up 9.36%; PYTH up 7.33%; AR up 7.17%. 📉 Losers: Old altcoins collectively tank XRP down 2.4%, SOL down 3.1%, TRX down 2.6%, DOGE down 2%. Meme sector down over 3%. The most negative funding rates are all old altcoins, indicating shorts are concentrated. Japanese listed company Remixpoint liquidated all altcoins, shifting to only invest in Bitcoin. 🔍 Two abnormal signals One is high turnover with low volatility: OP turnover 61% only down 0.08%, ARB turnover 58% down 2.36%—indicating existing funds are rotating without new money coming in. The second is Japan's rate hike expectation: The Bank of Japan governor hinted at continued rate hikes, the world's cheapest money is getting more expensive, and altcoins are the first to be cleared out. 💎 Summary Today's truth about altcoins is: a few with real narratives are rising (FIL storage,The US military directly bombed Iranian oil tankers! The "tanker for tanker" policy is officially implemented, and the market needs to reprice.
This time it's not just a simple blockade, but a direct retaliatory strike. The Strait of Hormuz is once again thrust into the spotlight.
My judgment is simple: in the short term, oil prices will most likely surge first, while risk assets will come under pressure.
🛢️ Oil prices: geopolitical risks + shipping disruptions, risk premiums will continue to rise.
₿ BTC: Don't rush to bottom-fish in the short term; funds will most likely flow first to gold and the US dollar.
But if oil prices continue to rise later and inflation expectations re-emerge, BTC may first fall and then follow the "digital gold" logic.
What we really need to watch is not how many ships were bombed this time, but whether Iran will continue to retaliate against shipping.
If the Strait of Hormuz is truly blocked long-term, this won't be a one-time pulse but could be a new round of Middle East risk spiral.
What do you think: will oil prices break 100 first, or will BTC rebound first? $BTC $CL

1. Why Dell's performance exceeded expectations
Dell (DELL) this quarter's earnings report greatly exceeded Wall Street expectations:
• Core driver: AI servers exploded, AI server revenue doubled year-over-year, backlog orders reached $95 billion, future revenue certainty is very strong.
• Revenue and net profit significantly exceeded analyst estimates, with after-hours stock price rising.
• Pain point: Dell management repeatedly mentioned in the conference call the tight supply of DRAM memory and HBM storage; upstream storage chips are the bottleneck restricting further volume growth of Dell servers.
Dell is a downstream AI computing power system integrator: responsible for assembling chips and memory into AI servers sold to cloud providers and enterprises.
Dell's strong earnings indirectly confirm that global AI capital expenditure remains highly prosperous.
2. What does "Broadcom and Snowflake take over" mean
• Broadcom (AVGO): upstream AI chips, custom AI chips, high-speed switching chips; Google, Meta, OpenAI purchase large quantities of Broadcom ASIC chips, regarded by the market as the second largest AI chip beneficiary after NVIDIA. Dell servers extensively use Broadcom network switching chips.
• Snowflake: cloud data warehouse, AI application layer; AI large models require massive data storage, analysis, and processing; represents AI application-end companies.
Dell's (AI server system integrator) strong earnings confirm hardware demand; next, the market will look at upstream chip Broadcom and software-side Snowflake earnings reports to confirm that the AI industry chain prosperity can transmit upward and downward.SOL 24h Trend
Solana was at $100.37 this morning, down 3.47% in 24 hours, weaker than the top two.
The 4-hour MA5 has been pressing down continuously, with the price hugging the moving average, not even allowing a decent rebound.
At 02:27 AM on Hyperliquid, a $1.75 million SOL long position was liquidated, marking the largest single liquidation of SOL today.
The community is voting on a governance proposal for SOL, suggesting a reduction in issuance; the long-term narrative remains intact.
However, poor short-term liquidity has always been its weakness; it’s always the first to get hit when altcoins fall.
The next support is at $96; breaking this means this rebound is completely over.
SOL’s fundamentals are actually improving: on-chain active addresses, DEX trading volume, and stablecoin settlements are all top-tier. The problem lies in the token distribution—early investors and unlocked tokens are suppressing the price.
Governance reducing issuance is a step in the right direction, but distant help can’t solve immediate problems; in the short term, it still depends on the overall market sentiment.
If Firedancer’s parallelization upgrade lands as scheduled, throughput could increase by another magnitude, which is the biggest mid-term expectation gap for SOL. The current drop is making room for that catalyst.
Do you think SOL can still catch up, or is it completely falling behind this round? Share your judgment in the comments.
$SOL #CryptoMarket #Today’sMarketBTC 24h Trend
Bitcoin returned to $77,204 this morning, down 2.01% in the past day.
Last night, the 4-hour MA20 at 78,703 became a ceiling; bulls tried to break through twice but failed to hold, and volume did not keep up.
More noteworthy is BlackRock's IBIT—its first single-day net outflow since May, with the ETF channel seeing net outflows for the fourth consecutive day, evaporating $1.3 billion.
Institutional money is not withdrawing but observing. Real withdrawal means dumping, while observing means waiting for the right position; these two are fundamentally different.
The next technical support is at 76,200; if broken, it’s not sideways movement but a step down.
Currently, more people hold positions than are observing, but the volume of observing funds is larger than that of holders—indicating the real big money has not yet acted.
Many interpret ETF net outflows as bearish, but I see it as a buildup. Chips are moving from short-term traders back to long-term institutions, which is actually beneficial for the market structure going forward.
US Treasury yields haven’t pushed higher these days, and the dollar hasn’t strengthened; macro factors haven’t added extra pressure on BTC. The drop mainly reflects on-exchange sentiment and leverage.
On-chain data also supports this: long-term holder addresses are still slowly accumulating, exchange balances remain low, and selling pressure mainly comes from derivatives rather than spot.
In this round, are you reducing your position at 78K, or waiting for a rebound to exit? Explain your logic in the comments.
$BTC #CryptoMarket #Today’sMarketThe crypto industry is bidding farewell to "air coins," with about 15 mainstream projects
(such as Solana, Ethena, Polygon)
driving token economic reforms, with core directions:
1. Inflation suppression / hard cap setting (public chains):
Solana accelerates inflation reduction, NEAR halves the inflation cap, Aptos sets a supply hard cap.
2. Revenue buyback and burn (application layer):
Using protocol revenue to buy back and burn tokens, Hyperliquid and pump.fun account for nearly 90% of this year's buybacks.
3. Unlock optimization:
Releasing tokens early or slowing release speed to reduce selling pressure.
4. Real income staking:
Changing staking rewards from issuance to real business revenue.
Buybacks have reached nearly $640 million this year, but buybacks ≠ price increase.
The real key is whether protocol revenue can sustain growth.
Future token value evaluation standards will shift from "how many tokens are issued"
to "how much money is earned, how it is distributed, and whether it is sustainable,"
and the Meme track, which cannot provide real income,
will face uncertainty about its future.

#Robinhood链上放量，币股Meme引争议 Symbiotic TVL
Symbiotic's locked value today surpassed $1.5 billion, rising 23.55% over 30 days.
The restaking sector has maintained its narrative throughout this year, and Symbiotic is the most recognized project by the market after EigenLayer.
It follows a different technical approach than EigenLayer, not requiring node operators to stake independently, which offers greater scalability.
Currently, it has over 60 partner projects covering mainnets and L2s, with real capital flowing in.
But a reminder: the core risk of restaking is node slashing—if the underlying validator nodes have issues, losses will cascade upward.
This is not the next meme coin; it is an evolution at the DeFi protocol layer.
Why is capital willing to pour money into this sector at the end of a bear market? Because restaking turns idle staked assets into composable productivity, which is the biggest leverage point for the ETH ecosystem going forward.
Short-term TVL growth is fast and includes some inflation from incentive mining, so don’t get carried away by the numbers alone.
More importantly is the tokenomics: the release schedule of Symbiotic’s native token and whether early investors have massive unlocks directly determine if entering now means taking the bag or positioning for the future. A good protocol doesn’t necessarily mean the token is worth buying now.
Do you believe in this sector? Will you hold long-term or wait for a pullback to enter? Share your thoughts in the comments.
#Symbiotic $SYMB #DeFi #PotentialProject Unlike the positive accumulation attitude shown on-chain, the derivatives market remains mostly on the sidelines.
We know that short liquidations are the direct cause of OI shrinkage. However, when the price hovered between 77,000 and 80,000 for two weeks, the OI stayed around 440,000 to 455,000 contracts with no signs of replenishment.
The price rose by 25%, theoretically making shorting more cost-effective; but those who dared to short at 62,000 are now hesitant at 78,000. The reasonable explanation is that "shorts have been scared off."
Longs also have not chased. If this wave were a trend reversal, the normal reaction would be for OI to rise along with the price while funding rates remain positive.
Now with OI stagnant, it indicates that most people still classify this wave as a short squeeze, not a trend reversal. They are either waiting for a pullback or simply not participating.
From the perspective of judging the cycle bottom, a rebound driven by leverage clearing and spot buying is indeed a common feature of bottom structures. But currently, neither longs nor shorts above are willing to make the first move, reflecting a cautious sentiment in the derivatives market: waiting and watching.
Additionally, the ELR (leverage ratio) has returned to around 0.26, a two-year low. This means there is little leverage left in the market to be liquidated.
The risk of a chain reaction of liquidations in the short term is very low, and it is unlikely to see violent leverage-driven fluctuations either way.
Perhaps the market is waiting for guidance from the next macro event.24H Liquidation Data
Over the past 24 hours, the total contract liquidations across the network exceeded $130 million.
Sixty percent of the liquidations were long positions.
This means that when the market moves downward, those betting on a rebound get wiped out more severely.
Binance saw a single ETH long position liquidation of $11.9 million at midnight, the largest single liquidation of the day. BTC also had $1.73 million in long positions liquidated on Hyperliquid, and SOL was not spared either.
The Fear and Greed Index dropped to 26 today, indicating the market sentiment has entered extreme fear.
Usually, at this level, the cleaner the long liquidations, the faster the rebound—but no one can predict the exact bottom.
Liquidation data is a lagging indicator, but it reflects leverage crowding. Now that 60% of longs have been cleared, it shows that optimistic positions in the market have been significantly reduced.
Conversely, this signals a release of short-side pressure. This is not a call to bottom-fish, but a caution not to follow the crowd and get liquidated at the lowest point during extreme fear.
Compared to history, a single-day liquidation of $130 million is moderate for a bull market correction, far from the panic peaks of over $1 billion, indicating this deleveraging wave is relatively restrained.
Are you currently lightly watching, or have you already exited your positions? Share your strategy.
#LiquidationData #ContractMarket #CryptoMarket #TodayMarketRedemptions from cryptocurrency funds are ebbing, but incremental capital has not fully recovered yet.
EPFR data shows that global cryptocurrency funds had a net inflow of about $1.5 billion in the latest week, marking one of the stronger capital return weeks this year.
The situation was completely opposite in the previous months. From May to July, cryptocurrency funds faced continuous large-scale redemptions, and the cumulative capital flow over the past 12 months dropped rapidly from a net inflow of about $6 billion in April to a net outflow of about $3 billion in June.
In recent weeks, capital has flowed back, and the cumulative net outflow has basically been filled. The pressure from continuous redemptions, passive position reductions, and sales of crypto assets on the fund side has significantly eased compared to two months ago.
However, the cumulative capital flow over the past 12 months is still hovering around zero, and the capital flow ratio calculated by asset management scale is also close to zero. Therefore, the latest inflow of $1.5 billion mainly serves to repair the gap left in previous months and has not yet formed a large-scale new buying force.
This remains relatively positive for the crypto market, especially for $BTC. Fund capital was dragging the market down in previous months, but selling pressure has gradually subsided now. If net inflows can be maintained for several consecutive weeks, investor funds are likely to shift from selling to buying.
However, if capital quickly turns negative again, this week's $1.5 billion might just be low-level replenishment, position rebalancing, or a one-time subscription. After all, I have mentioned many times before that there was a large amount of buying around Bitcoin at $60,000, and it still needs to be observed after the rapid rise close to $80,000.
Additionally, EPFR statistics cover global cryptocurrency funds, and the overall capital volume is larger than that of the US Bitcoin spot ETF.Don't just sigh over Ethereum's inflation: you might not even understand who L2 is really working for
Recently, there have been many bearish voices about Ethereum, with the main criticism being: after the Cancun upgrade, Gas fees plummeted, the mainnet is no longer deflationary, and even has a slight annual inflation above 0.5%, leading many to believe the "supersonic money" narrative is shattered.
But many overlook a business common sense: any infrastructure aiming to grow big cannot survive by charging users expensive tolls.
Previously, Ethereum Gas fees often cost tens of dollars; on the surface, burning and destroying tokens looked great, but in reality, it forced many high-frequency applications and ordinary users away. Now, L2 indeed offloads the mainnet's transfer fees, but after bundling hundreds of thousands of low-value transactions, it still ultimately returns to the Ethereum mainnet for tamper-proof secure settlement.
This is like Ethereum transforming from a "crowded and expensive pedestrian street" into the "global financial kitchen and central bank clearing desk."
As long as entities like BlackRock BUIDL, tokenized US Treasuries, massive stablecoins, and leading L2s still treat the mainnet as an irreplaceable credit foundation, depositing hundreds of billions of dollars in asset trust annually, that slight inflation is nothing to worry about.
The ultimate moat of a public chain has never been "burning itself to keep warm," but the irreplaceability of ecological settlement.
#非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 ARB at $0.12, are you chasing it?
First, look at the surface: two big bullish candles, retail investors shouting "bulls returning fast."
On August 31, ARB surged from 0.084 with a record-breaking bullish candle to 0.109, a single-day increase of over 30%. On September 1, it continued to rise to 0.119. 24-hour trading volume exploded, open interest soared, and the whole market was shouting: Arbitrum is finally taking off!
First thing: Robinhood Chain is real money, not just empty talk.
Robinhood built its own dedicated chain based on Arbitrum Orbit. After launch, daily fee revenue reached $1.9-2.13 million, DEX trading volume exceeded $1.4 billion, earning more than Arbitrum One itself.
The key point: 10% of Orbit chain’s net income flows back to the Arbitrum ecosystem—8% to the DAO treasury, 2% to the developer guild. This brings tens of thousands of dollars in real daily income to the ecosystem, amounting to tens of millions annually.
Previously, L2s were "burning money to acquire users," now Arbitrum runs a "rent-collecting" model. Technology licensing plus revenue sharing—this is the first time an L2 has proven it’s not a money-losing asset.
Second thing: September 16, countdown to the 92.63 million token unlock bomb.
On September 16, about 92.63 million ARB tokens will unlock, released linearly by the team and investors, worth approximately $9-10.5 million, accounting for 1.3-1.4% of circulating market cap.
Sounds small? But you should know the ARB unlock schedule continues until 2027, with new tokens hitting the market every month.
Third thing: technical overbought, funding rates soaring.
Daily chart shows a volume breakout from the 0.075-0.10 range, RSI is near 70 in the overbought zone. Open interest is surging—indicating heavy leverage inflows and crowded longs.
0.10-0.105 is the upper boundary of the breakout box, now a critical support level. If it doesn’t hold, a drop back to 0.10 or even 0.095 is possible.
Bull vs. bear showdown, judge for yourself:
On one side:
Robinhood Chain daily revenue over $2 million, real value capture
Orbit chain’s revenue-sharing model is working, L2 finally "collecting rent"
ArbOS 61 upgrade benefits institutional deployment
Weekly gains 13-22%, monthly gains 37-40%, trend turning bullish
On the other side:
September 16 unlock of 92.63 million tokens hitting the market
Unlock schedule continues until 2027, structural selling pressure
RSI overbought, open interest too high, crowded longs
0.12 level has been a top every time since last year
ARB token’s capture of protocol revenue remains indirect, not going into its own pocket
Resistance above: 0.119-0.12 (psychological barrier) → 0.125 → 0.14
Support below: 0.108-0.105 (breakout level) → 0.10 (box lower boundary) → 0.092-0.095 (strong bottom)
Trading strategy:
Short-term traders:
Mainly wait and see. If it holds above 0.12 with volume, and pullbacks don’t break support, try light longs targeting 0.125-0.13, stop loss at 0.112. If it breaks 0.108 with volume, exit immediately, watch 0.10 below.
Swing traders:
Wait for a pullback to 0.105-0.10 range to accumulate in batches, stop loss at 0.092, target previous highs 0.119-0.125, if breakout then look at 0.14. Reduce positions on September 14-15, observe capital absorption on unlock day before deciding.
Risk control rules:
Position size no more than 3-5% of account, leverage within 3-5x
Watch if Robinhood Chain fees can maintain high levels
Watch for large transfers on unlock day
If BTC falls below 76,000, don’t hold ARB
This ARB surge is just the first test of the L2 "rent-collecting narrative"—
99% of people see a 37% rise and think it will reverse, forgetting 90 million tokens are waiting on September 16.
The day 0.12 fails to hold, you’ll realize:
It’s not that ARB is bad, it’s that you always chase at the hottest news.
What is your ARB cost?
What will you do on the September 16 unlock day?

Dell's earnings report is another heavy blow.
Last week, NVIDIA told you that GPUs sold well; this week, Dell tells you that after GPUs are sold, they are indeed installed in servers and shipped to data centers. The demand for AI hardware is expanding downstream from the chip level. This is not just storytelling; it's real orders piling up.
This news impacts the crypto world on two levels.
First, the narrative is spreading. NVIDIA proved that chips are selling well, and Dell proves that servers are also moving in sync. AI infrastructure is not just a GPU party; the entire chain from chips to servers to storage is growing. For crypto AI tracks and DePIN projects, this confirmation is an indirect positive.
Second, the transmission of risk appetite. Dell's earnings rose 6.51% after hours, and the profitability quality of the tech sector is being continuously validated. As long as tech stock sentiment holds steady, crypto, as a high-beta asset, will have its own narrative space.
Here’s my view. Dell's earnings report is more grounded than NVIDIA's—NVIDIA sells chips, Dell sells complete machines, the latter being closer to the end output of infrastructure. Demand has penetrated from the silicon level to the physical level and is accelerating.
The real variable this week is Friday's nonfarm payroll data; Dell represents a long-term narrative, while nonfarm data determines the short-term direction.
What do you think?
$BTC $ETH Non-farm payrolls will be announced this Friday, and next Monday is the US Labor Day, so the US stock market will be closed for one day, effectively resulting in three consecutive days of trading halt. The volatility will mainly concentrate on the night after tomorrow, combined with Jackson Hole's somewhat hawkish remarks. This data will directly rewrite the September interest rate pricing, with the probability of a rate hike already close to 70%.
Currently, it is in a recovery phase after a high-level pullback, inherently under correction pressure. Non-farm payrolls are just a catalyst and cannot unilaterally change the structure.
Given the amplified volatility the day after tomorrow, from a mid-term perspective, short near the 80k rebound on the upside, and wait to go long near 75k on the downside. Prepare your positions in advance.$BTC ETF inflows reached 200 million in one day, but 95% was bought by IBIT alone. Is this bottom support stable?
Many people only look at the net inflow numbers of ETFs and ignore the capital structure. On August 31, the total market ETF net inflow was about 217 million USD, which looks good, right? But if you break it down, you'll understand: BlackRock's IBIT alone contributed 205.9 million, accounting for 95% of that day's share. Other funds combined only added a few million, and VanEck actually had an outflow of 13.4 million.
What does this mean? It means not all market institutions are buying together; IBIT is solely supporting the bottom. This structure is more fragile than a "broad inflow" — if IBIT stops one day and other funds don't pick up, the price will easily fluctuate. But from another perspective, IBIT, as a flagship product, is still continuously buying, indicating that long-term allocation hasn't left and real demand remains.
Looking at the entire month of August: ETF net inflows were about 3 to 3.5 billion USD, the strongest month since October 2025. This is not a one- or two-day pulse but a month of sustained buying.
A common problem for many retail investors is: they hesitate when ETF inflows are strong, chase after the price rises, and panic when there's a slight pullback. My approach is simple: look at the ETF capital structure. IBIT supporting the bottom shows real demand, but the high concentration is a warning. Wait for more funds to join and for the capital structure to become healthy before increasing your position. For now, just observe and don't chase the highs.Nowadays, everyone says AI is the Fourth Industrial Revolution. ChatGPT can write copy, Codex can write code, and models can draw, make videos, and read financial reports. Of course, these things have improved efficiency, and I use them every day. But if you compare them to steam engines or electricity, what AI changes more is information processing, and it's still some distance from transforming the entire production process. Marx mentioned in 'Capital': 'The simple elements of the labor process are: purposeful activity or labor itself, the object of labor and the means of labor.' He explained the means of labor as follows: 'The means of labor are the objects or composite of things placed by the worker between themselves and the object of labor, used to transmit their activities to the object of labor.' If today's AI is placed within this framework, it is closer to a new means of labor—that is, the tool placed between the person and the object of work. But now, most of the "labor objects" it encounters are still text and code in computers. AI helps us process these things faster, but the final judgment, the responsibility for results, and the people who bring work into real processes still need people to oversee the final checks. Although this is already productivity improvement, it mainly happens in the digital world. If AI really wants to transform production on a large scale like the steam engine and electricity, it will have to continue moving outward. It will encounter steel, fabric, cardboard boxes, roads, and machines, and learn to move, grab, assemble, and transport in the real world. This step is what we often talk about nowadays, physical AI. Why mold?Don't scare yourself, the market just yawned
Early in the morning, cries of "the sky is falling" echoed down the hallway. I quickly checked the market, thinking some black swan event had occurred.
The result? This?
$BTC Bitcoin did hover around $76,400, and last night $78,000 was as fragile as paper—once broken, it broke through, not even $77,000 could hold it back. But at most, this is just a decent pullback, still miles away from a "collapse."
$ETH Ethereum is quite interesting, showing strong resistance around $2,380, like a compressed spring. It has now bounced back to $2,410, indicating that the buying pressure below is not weak. This movement likely means a second bottom test confirming support.
In the short term, $2,450 and $2,490 are like two small hills above, while around $2,360 is a short-term bottom line. As for that $TRUMP coin, at $2.24, it's stuck awkwardly between up and down. Without clear signals, I choose to sit back and watch, not taking long or short positions to avoid getting slapped back and forth.
Don't shout collapse at every drop; the market just took a cold shower to wake up.
#非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 #BTC高位回落，黄金联动受考验 ⚠️ $BTC & $ETH : Pullback or Bigger Breakdown?
BTC and ETH are both under short-term pressure, with BTC around $77.5K and ETH near $2.42K.
The rejection below key resistance shows sellers still have control.
Technically, BTC needs to reclaim $80K, while ETH must hold the $2,400 area to keep the recovery structure intact.
A clean loss of these supports could trigger another leg lower. .#NFPTestsSeptHikeOdds #RobinhoodChainRWAvsMemes #DellAIServerBeat Breaking! Mines explode ships in the Strait of Hormuz, Bitcoin directly falls below 77000!
Just now, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard confirmed that two oil tankers were attacked by mines in the Strait of Hormuz and have stopped sailing. This is no small matter; Hormuz is a major global oil artery, with one-third of the world's crude oil passing through here last year.
Once the news broke, Brent crude oil surged above $94. When oil prices rise, inflation expectations heat up, and the probability of a Fed rate hike in September jumped directly to 57%. The US dollar strengthened, US Treasury yields soared, and risk assets all collapsed.
Bitcoin $BTC plunged from a high of $79,166 to $76,762, Ethereum fell below 2400, with $115 million long positions liquidated in one hour. The Meme sector was even worse, dropping more than 3%.
Tycoons' view: This time it’s not just a pure flight to safety, but inflation logic at work. Bitcoin was not bought as a safe haven in this wave; instead, it was smashed as a risk asset. Interestingly, SOL and ETH fell three times more than BTC, with funds concentrating on Bitcoin for safer refuge.
What should retail investors do? Don’t rush to bottom-fish. Watch two signals: whether oil prices can hold above 90, and whether the US military will continue to strike Iran. Until the situation clarifies, keep your hands off and save your ammunition.
#非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 #Robinhood链上放量，币股Meme引争议 #财报观察员：戴尔业绩超预期，博通雪花接棒 $ETH $SOL ISM and JOLTS were released simultaneously, but their directions are inconsistent. Manufacturing momentum is slowing but still above the expansion line. Job vacancies slightly rebounded but remain below expectations. The data itself does not provide a one-sided answer. However, the market has pushed the probability of a September rate hike to over 66%. For BTC and ETH, this means macro pressure continues. The rebound space is suppressed. The real direction will be determined by Friday's nonfarm Success because of the yellow hair, failure also because of the yellow hair! Trump said, "The ultimate strike is still ahead," a statement more valuable than any candlestick chart!
The second round of airstrikes within three days. He wrote on Truth Social: If Iran retaliates, this country will be left with almost nothing.
At noon on September 1st Eastern Time, the Central Command fired at targets of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps: Qeshm Island, Abbas Port, Chabahar, Lavan Island, and even explosions were reported at the Assaluyeh natural gas hub. Iran retaliated by launching heavy ballistic missiles at the US military base in Aqaba Bay, Jordan, and claimed to have shot down an MQ-9. The US military has rerouted 84 commercial ships to cooperate with the blockade.
The market reaction is reflected in oil prices: WTI closed at $90.22, up 5.20%, Brent at $94.65, up 4.60%, intraday surged to $96.70, and European natural gas hit a new high for 2023.
My judgment: This is no longer a market that can be explained by "risk-off sentiment." Oil prices rise → inflation expectations rise → Fed has stronger reasons to raise rates → risk assets get valuation cuts. This chain is the real bear case for $BTC; the Middle East is just the trigger finger.
Watch Qatar's mediation closely, and also watch whether the phrase "poised to strike" is deterrence or a warning. #霍尔木兹风险升温，能源通胀受关注 Japan's 10-year bond yield breaks 3%, making me even more hesitant to chase altcoins
Many people are currently waiting for “BTC to stabilize, then capital rotates to SOL/ETH,” but today's data makes me hit the brakes first.
Japan's 10-year government bond yield has surpassed 3% for the first time since 1996; the 2-year yield has also risen to its highest level since 1995. More importantly, Kazuo Ueda clearly stated that the #NFPTestsSeptHikeOdds #RobinhoodChainRWAvsMemes #DellAIServerBeat
