ChainCatcher crypto trader Bonk Guy posted on the X platform in response to the recent controversy surrounding his purchase of EMBER and explained his investment logic. Bonk Guy stated that he first noticed the project when EMBER's market cap was about 3 million dollars but did not buy in. After observing for a day due to the rapid growth of platform data, he re-evaluated and bought in from a market cap of about 7 million dollars all the way up to a 20 million dollar market cap.Bonk Guy mentioned that EMBER is the main Launchpad based on Meteora, supporting the use of SOL, USDC, and over 150 tokenized stocks as paired assets for issuing tokens, and employs Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve technology, while also providing features such as token tax distribution, Daily Jackpots, and DAO governance.According to his disclosure, Ember recorded about 51.7 million dollars in trading volume and 561,000 dollars in fees within 3 days of launch, with a total of 2,041 tokens issued, over 41,800 unique wallet addresses, and 149,000 Solana transactions. Bonk Guy compared his purchase of Ember to his previous trade in PONS, stating that he first saw PONS when its market cap was below 1 million dollars, similarly ignoring it for a whole day, and then began buying in at around a 4 million dollar market cap. Rather than whether a popular token has already emerged, it is more important to observe the real usage data underlying the Launchpad.Additionally, Bonk Guy stated that both Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain have multiple successful Launchpads, and that Solana's meme trading ecosystem has developed over a longer period, so there is no reason to believe that Solana can ultimately only accommodate one successful Launchpad. He also mentioned that his trading decisions are not based on market consensus. Some of his past most successful trades often came from identifying opportunities before the market formed a consensus; by the time everyone recognizes it, the asymmetric upside potential is usually significantly reduced.Regarding the recent controversy, Bonk Guy stated that the claim "EMBER has over 50% of Bubblemaps address clusters" has been clarified by Bubblemaps; his previous statement that Ember "was launched by Meteora" is also inaccurate, with a more accurate description being that Ember is based on Meteora's related infrastructure, which is now included in the Meteora ecosystem page. Bonk Guy emphasized that he has no relationship with the Ember team, and EMBER is a personal trade for him.

Jack Dorsey's payment company Block has applied to establish Builders Bank & Trust, N.A. If approved, the bank will become an uninsured national trust bank directly regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), focusing on providing custody and trust services for Bitcoin and stablecoins, without accepting deposits or issuing loans.The application is still pending OCC approval, and the OCC's public list of digital asset license applications currently includes 11 pending applications (submitted between February 23 and August 19), which does not yet include Builders Bank. Previously, the OCC conditionally approved five national trust applications in December 2025, including Circle's First National Digital Currency Bank and Ripple, as well as conversion applications from BitGo, Fidelity Digital Assets, and Paxos; Circle received final approval in July of this year.The Bank Policy Institute (BPI), representing large banks, had previously opposed a series of limited-purpose national trust license applications, arguing that companies should not obtain trust licenses unless they plan to operate a true trust company, and warned against using the license as a lightly regulated pathway for bank-like products. Block stated that Builders Bank will not begin operations until it receives the necessary regulatory approvals.

According to Bloomberg, David Bailey, the cryptocurrency entrepreneur who helped Trump shift to supporting Bitcoin, is trying to rebuild his business after the stock price of his Bitcoin treasury company, Nakamoto, has fallen about 99% from its peak. Previously, Bailey raised approximately $760 million for the publicly listed company to establish Bitcoin reserves.Nakamoto announced its entry into the public market through a merger in May 2025, and since then, the stock price has cumulatively dropped about 99% from its high. This trend is also part of the overall correction of digital asset treasury companies, as the premium investors previously paid to indirectly hold Bitcoin through a listed company has largely disappeared.Bailey's hedge fund had previously achieved a 640% return when investing in similar strategies. He stated that he still occasionally keeps in touch with the White House and is trying to prove that, after the significant drop in stock price, Nakamoto still has a sustainable real business.

Arthur Hayes-led AI agency project Flop Labs announced that it is building a GPU computing power exchange, allowing the buying and selling of computing power resources. Flop Labs pointed out that NVIDIA's quarterly data center computing power sales reached $89 billion, a year-on-year increase of 117%, but GPU pricing is still not standardized, and users need to contact suppliers directly for quotes.On Flop, AI agents purchase computing power from miners using FLOP tokens, and validators re-execute some of the completed computational work to verify the pricing basis used in the transactions.

BSC and 0G ecosystem AI economic infrastructure project NeoSoul announced that its general intelligent trading workstation NeoTrade has launched the trading Skill Builder. Users only need to describe their trading ideas or trading styles in a conversation, and the system can generate the corresponding trading Skill, automatically completing the configuration and verification of strategy parameters such as time period, market focus, position, and order method.In the past, traders needed to turn their trading ideas into strategies that Agents could execute sustainably, which often required writing trading logic and setting parameters item by item. The Skill Builder centralizes the process into a conversation window, allowing users to describe their core trading ideas in natural language, and then gradually refine the strategy through continuous dialogue. During the conversation, NeoTrade will configure specific conditions based on user requirements and write each modification in real-time into the Skill. Once the strategy is complete, the system will automatically perform parameter verification, and the generated Skill can be saved and reused.Kaelan, co-founder of NeoSoul, stated that turning trading judgments into rules that Agents can execute has always been one of the most time-consuming steps in creating trading Agents. The Skill Builder incorporates this step into a single conversation, where users first clarify how they want to trade, and the system is responsible for completing the structuring, parameter configuration, and verification.

Zhao Changpeng appeared on the podcast "Meanders." Zhao Changpeng stated that if he were to redo a global cryptocurrency trading platform in 2017, the first principle would be to avoid U.S. users. Their definition of centralized financial platforms is: if you have U.S. users, you need to be subject to U.S. regulation and obtain a license in the U.S. This is not 100% enforced in the U.S., but they have the right and the ability to do so.Additionally, contracts might be developed a bit earlier. Even some other financial products could potentially be developed a bit earlier, and financial products would be more comprehensive. Communication with regulators might be more thorough. Binance is currently the trading platform that communicates the most with regulators, but the coverage is still somewhat lacking. Moreover, if you really want to do this, the cost is very high. It's not just a matter of money; you need to hire good people, spend a lot of time, and invest a lot of time managing this matter.

The French open-source weight AI laboratory Mistral and the AI company HUMAIN under the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF) announced plans to build "sovereign AI" infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and the broader region. According to a joint announcement from both parties, this collaboration is valued at "hundreds of millions of euros" and aims to meet the growing demand for sovereign AI, where data is not controlled by third-party companies, and models can be owned under open weights.Both parties will jointly develop and localize advanced models and deploy AI solutions within Saudi Arabia and the broader region. Mistral is building its computing power layout through its end-to-end infrastructure division, Mistral Compute. This collaboration will allow it to run workloads on local computing power in Saudi Arabia, rather than relying solely on computing power from Europe and the United States. The two sides also plan to conduct joint marketing in regulated industries in Saudi Arabia. The first deliverables will cover cybersecurity and voice fields, involving inference, open models, and cutting-edge Arabic models in the region.HUMAIN has accumulated over a year of construction. In November 2025, it expanded its cooperation with NVIDIA, planning to deploy up to 600,000 of NVIDIA's latest AI systems, including the GB300 platform, within three years; it also reached a data center agreement with xAI, relying on a facility with over 500 MW, and made an agreement with AWS to manage up to 150,000 GPUs in the Riyadh AI Zone. In the same month, HUMAIN, AMD, and Cisco established a joint venture aimed at building up to 1 GW of AI infrastructure by 2030.
