① BTC: ETFs are still buying, but oil prices and US Treasury yields are starting to cause trouble Last week, the US stock spot BTC ETF saw very strong capital inflows: nearly $1 billion on September 22 alone, then a clear cooling off; on September 25, there was still about $134.5 million net inflow. For the entire week of September 21–25, BTC ETFs accumulated about $2.39 billion in capital inflows. The problem is, the macro environment suddenly isn’t cooperating. The situation in Iran caused Brent crude oil to climb back near $100, while the dollar and US Treasury yields rose. The market started worrying again about inflation and future Federal Reserve policies, causing BTC to fall back to around $83,000. This creates a very interesting contradiction: Institutional ETFs are still buying, but macro funds are starting to get scared. Can ETF buying withstand the volatility of oil prices, Treasury yields, and risk assets? If these factors continue to worsen, BTC might replay the classic scenario: "Institutions: I'm buying. Retail: Then I’ll go all in. Macro: Sorry, I disagree." ② ETH: Institutional funds are clearly spreading into ETH On September 25, the US spot ETH ETF had a single-day net inflow of about $87 million; and for the week of September 21–25, ETH ETFs accumulated about $603 million in capital inflows. Among them, BlackRock’s ETHA attracted about $50.4 million in a single day. Even more interestingly, ETH’s technicals have recently shown clear changes. Reuters’ technical analysis on September 22 pointed out that ETH broke through the previously formed "bull flag" pattern and surpassed the important level near $2,661; the subsequent technical target area was around $3,050, but it also noted that falling back to key support could break this structure. $BTC is responsible for attracting big money’s attention, while ETH is quietly grabbing funds. Previously, when people saw ETF inflows, their first reaction was basically BTC. Now, with continuous ETH ETF inflows, it shows that institutional funds are not just treating cryptocurrencies as "digital gold" for allocation, but are gradually increasing their exposure to the Ethereum ecosystem. #美伊继续磋商霍尔木兹开放条件 #BTC现货ETF周流入创近一年新高

$ZEC main player, I bought the dip, you can pump it now. I know you're shaking out the weak hands, hurry up and pump it up

Wrapping stocks into tokens and stuffing them into the collateral reserve pool of a lending protocol is like cutting the ownership of an office building into fragments and embedding them into the load-bearing wall—looking elegant on the blueprint, but the load transfer path changes completely, and the seismic rating must be recalculated. In the past, tokenized stocks were just decorative glass on the curtain wall—pretty but not load-bearing. Now that they are pulled into the core structure of DeFi as collateral, their nature is completely different. Seven US stock targets—Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, Tesla—with a combined initial collateral cap of about $29 million. In the scale of the entire crypto market, this volume is roughly equivalent to the underground garage of a super high-rise just finishing the first layer of the cushion, not even pouring the base slab yet. But the real problem is not the volume; it’s the structural logic. Traditional stocks have trading days, clearing cycles, and suspension mechanisms; their liquidity curve is intermittent and rhythmic. On-chain lending protocols operate 24/7 continuously. Connecting an intermittent cash flow curve to a load-bearing system that requires round-the-clock solvency must add conversion layers—namely oracles, liquidation engines, discount rate models. The thicker these layers are, the more rigid the system becomes, increasing the risk of brittle failure during extreme market conditions. Truly excellent structural design is never about piling up materials but about letting each material bear the force it is best suited for. Stocks are equity certificates; they are suitable for holding, dividends, and long-term valuation, not for acting as short-term liquidity cushions in lending. Forcing them into this role can hold in the short term but depends on the fatigue life of the connection nodes in the long term. Aave daring to open this door in its fourth version shows confidence in its foundation. But whether a structure can stand depends not on the designer’s confidence but on performance under the most adverse load combinations. The correlation between US stocks and the crypto market during extreme moments is the real stress concentration point of this beam. Once the US stock night session fluctuates sharply, a time lag will form between the valuation of tokenized stock collateral and the on-chain liquidation rhythm—that lag is the crack. From an architect’s perspective, this is more like a structural experiment than mature construction. Experiments are valuable, but between the experimental phase and delivery phase, there are often several rounds of code revisions. What truly determines whether it can become mainstream is not how many types of stocks it can collateralize but whether the load-bearing wall will crack during a real sharp drop. This is an attempt to forcibly merge two completely different building codes onto the same structural blueprint. #tokenizedstocksonaave

This Week's Macro Outlook: Nonfarm Payrolls and PCE Are Coming, Retail Investors Beware—It's a Critical Week for Crypto! Brothers, this week the macro "double threat" arrives! On Wednesday, ADP and core PCE strike first; on Friday, the nonfarm employment "triple bomb" takes center stage. This is the final showdown before the October rate meeting, directly deciding the fate of bulls and bears! The total crypto market cap has returned to $3 trillion, $BTC Bitcoin has risen above $86,000, and institutional ETF funds continue to flow in, but the pressure from U.S. Treasury yields breaking above 5% cannot be ignored. More importantly, the NYSE and Blockchain have signed a memorandum to advance tokenized trading of U.S. stocks. The RWA sector is moving from "concept" to "implementation." If this round of macro data is favorable, funds are very likely to prioritize flowing into RWA and tokenized stock sectors! Additionally, Micron and Nike's earnings reports after market close on Wednesday and Thursday correspond to the main themes of storage chips and consumer demand, which have linkage effects with crypto mining machine concepts and consumer-grade Web3 applications. $ETH Ethereum ETF funds are flowing back, but altcoin rotation has not yet fully spread, so chasing highs requires caution. What should retail investors do? Remember three points: ① Control your positions before the nonfarm announcement; ② Pay attention to pullback buying opportunities in RWA sector leaders (such as ONDO); ③ If $BTC holds the key support at $84,000, consider scaling in gradually.

An AI company's revenue increased tenfold, but losses grew even more Anthropic has submitted its prospectus. Fiscal year 2025 revenue is $4.59 billion. How this number is calculated: Last year's revenue was about $390 million, working backward. Growing to $4.59 billion in one year means a growth of 1088%. Where did the money go: Operating losses exceeded $8 billion in the same period. The earnings are still not enough to cover a fraction of the expenses. Cash on hand is still $20.28 billion, enough to sustain for a while. But major clients have not signed long-term contracts and may stop paying at any time. Revenue increasing tenfold does not mean the business is stable. Clients can leave at any time, so that money cannot be considered secured. #OpenAI与Anthropic调查数万起AI安全事件 #高盛预估2027年AI相关资本开支约1.2万亿美元 #财报观察员：美光财报临近，AI存储需求成焦点 $ETH
