Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated that the company should not have veto power over tokenized stock products, provided that these products do not alter shareholder rights, issuer obligations, or the company's official stock register.Tenev posted on the X platform that whether the issuer should participate depends on whether the tokenized product changes the rights associated with the underlying stock or creates new obligations for the company and its transfer agents. If so, the issuer should participate; however, if the product creates an independent financial instrument that holds or references freely transferable shares and does not change the issuer's rights, obligations, or shareholder register, then issuer consent is not required.Tenev mentioned that Robinhood Stock Tokens use a third-party structure, with independently issued instruments backed by the underlying stock on a 1:1 basis, providing users with economic exposure to stocks and ETFs without altering the issuer's equity structure or the rights attached to the stock. He said, "Going on-chain should not grant the issuer veto power that they never had off-chain." Previously, AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron criticized Robinhood's tokenized stock products on September 4, stating that AMC has no association with these products and will require securities legal counsel to review them.

Nate Geraci, President of ETF Store, stated that if the Clarity Act can gain enough votes to advance this week, it will be beneficial for the industry. However, he believes that the act is not a key factor in determining the future of cryptocurrency. Under the Trump administration, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission will use their existing powers to promote the development of cryptocurrency; the Clarity Act is more about enhancing regulatory certainty to further accelerate industry innovation.The speed of development in the cryptocurrency industry far exceeds the policy-making cycle. By the time the U.S. political sphere realizes that the financial system has already been upgraded, it may be difficult to reverse this trend. The Clarity Act will only serve as a further catalyst, providing clearer policy expectations for the cryptocurrency industry by enhancing market confidence that innovative achievements are not easily reversible, but the future of the cryptocurrency industry does not depend on whether this act can be passed.

Analyst Darkfost posted on platform X that Bitcoin is about to enter a phase of 365 days without reaching a new all-time high (ATH). In previous cycles, Bitcoin typically set a new high shortly after the halving, but this pattern seems to be changing. Meanwhile, the time intervals from each cycle peak to the next all-time high are also shortening: from 2014 to 2017 it was 1180 days, from 2017 to 2020 it was 1094 days, and from 2021 to 2024 it has shortened to 849 days. Darkfost believes that if this trend continues, this round of Bitcoin may reach a new historical high more quickly. The next Bitcoin halving is expected to occur around April 2028.

"BTC OG Insider Whale" agent Garrett Jin released a market perspective stating that Bitcoin bulls are currently in an unfavorable position, with BTC continuing to hover above $76,500.Garrett Jin expressed that he is not optimistic about the current prolonged bottoming market, believing that the longer the consolidation period, the more likely BTC is to break below the $76,500 support and further seek lower support levels, rather than immediately reversing.He pointed out that if Bitcoin wants to show a stronger trend again, it needs to at least regain and maintain above $78,300.

Revolut disclosed that an unauthorized third party used a legitimate email address under a government agency's real domain to submit false customer data retrieval requests, resulting in the disclosure of sensitive information for a small number of customers. The company referred to the incident as a "complex external impersonation scam," and has since banned the related email address, stating that its systems and customer funds were not affected.The potentially disclosed information includes names, dates of birth, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, copies of identification documents such as passports and driver's licenses, identity verification selfies, account statements, IBANs, withdrawal records, and complete transaction histories, including Bitcoin transaction records. Former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès stated that he is one of the affected individuals. Revolut has not disclosed the number of affected customers, whether the incident involved only a single market, or the government agency to which the impersonated domain belongs. The company has notified relevant government agencies, law enforcement, data protection authorities, and financial regulatory bodies. On-chain investigator ZachXBT speculated that the scale of the incident may be limited, but the target may be high-net-worth users.

Well-known trader Bonk Guy posted that he does not pledge allegiance to PONS or any other holdings and communities. He stated that he has never been paid by the PONS project team and is not a member of the project team, so his holding and support of PONS should not be understood as loyalty to the project.Bonk Guy expressed that he is optimistic about PONS because of the fairness represented by the token and his belief that PONS provides on-chain traders with the opportunity to create intergenerational wealth. He views PONS as a transaction that has not yet been fully realized and expects that regardless of current market recognition, its future market value could still reach billions of dollars.He emphasized that this principle also applies to his other holdings: he is primarily a trader, does not pledge allegiance to any token or community, and will only choose trading opportunities that he believes have the most asymmetric risk-reward profile.

According to the Iranian Tasnim News Agency, Iran and Oman have reached an agreement after intensive consultations, and both sides have agreed on new route arrangements for entering and exiting the Strait of Hormuz.Informed sources say that this agreement does not mean the Strait of Hormuz is open; the southern route that the United States requested to be opened will be closed. Iran has proposed seven conditions for reopening to the United States, which may only be opened after receiving approval from the highest levels.

According to a report by Decrypt, OpenAI's latest flagship model GPT-6 Astra has seen a surge of user complaints on the X platform about its performance "getting dumber" just a week after its release. An anonymous developer, synthwavedd, posted that "Astra feels noticeably dumber today," joking that it was a "post-release lobotomy." Previously praising the model, developer Pranjal Paliwal stated after reviewing the code Astra wrote for him: "We don't have AGI; what we're encountering is a performance regression."Developer Pankaj Kumar listed the symptoms: faster responses with poorer quality, and he suspects OpenAI has lowered the "juice value" (the computational power invested by the model before answering). Salio and researcher Md Ismail Sojal compared Astra on the release day with the current version using the same prompts, both yielding worse results. T3Chat founder Theo believes Astra is simply less stable than Claude Fable, with users beginning to showcase poor results after the honeymoon period ended. There are also opinions pointing out that OpenAI's previous flagship GPT-5.6 Sol experienced a similar cycle in July, when OpenAI executive Tibo Sottiaux denied intentionally weakening the model but admitted the company had been experimenting with "reasoning effort" settings.OpenAI has not released a statement regarding Astra similar to that of Sol.

CoinDesk reported that Robinhood Chain's daily revenue dropped 87% from its peak on September 4, to $1.06 million.

According to Onchain Lens monitoring, the Fireblocks custody wallet (9Ryc...G4xfCxk) deposited 19.4 million USD1 supported by Trump to Binance in the past hour.In the past 13 days, this wallet has transferred approximately 149.8 million USD1 to Binance.

Renowned trader Bonk Guy responded to recent doubts from the STONK community regarding his purchase of EMBER, stating that some community members believe his acquisition of another Launchpad token implies an attempt to challenge STONK's industry position. This reaction is "very exaggerated." The second-largest holder of STONK previously bought EMBER with a market value of 2.8 million dollars and continued to hold it for many days without facing any scrutiny; however, after Bonk Guy purchased EMBER at a valuation approximately six times his buying price, he was viewed as the "villain," clearly indicating a double standard.Bonk Guy emphasized that he remains optimistic about STONK, noting that he has primarily traded low market cap projects for a long time because he believes these assets have a higher risk-reward ratio. He rarely buys large market cap tokens, even if he is optimistic about their future performance. He also stated that his purchase of EMBER had no "PvP" (player versus player competition) intentions, asserting that STONK and EMBER can both succeed simultaneously. He believes that the notion that "there can only be one winner in a race" contradicts the essence of the cryptocurrency industry.

Bitcoin News posted on platform X that after the CFTC approved Kalshi's Bitcoin perpetual contracts as futures products, traders face uncertainty on how to report gains to the IRS.If the product is classified as a regulated futures contract under Section 1256 of the U.S. Tax Code, related gains are typically treated as 60% long-term capital gains and 40% short-term capital gains, regardless of the holding period. CME believes that Kalshi's perpetual contracts are actually swaps, which are explicitly not covered under Section 1256. The CFTC's classification supports the view that it is a futures product, but does not bind the IRS; the tax treatment remains uncertain until the IRS, Congress, or the courts directly address Bitcoin perpetual contracts.

According to CNBC, Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan stated at the YC annual Demo Day that regarding the distillation of OpenAI and Anthropic models by Chinese companies (including DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, MiniMax, etc.), he chose to "do nothing" and suggested that regulators focus instead on maintaining a commercial balance between open-weight models and cutting-edge models.Tan also holds a reserved attitude towards the doomsday theory of AI, believing that cybersecurity is currently the most urgent risk, while the employment impact and economic transformation caused by AI will take decades to truly permeate society.

Former U.S. President Trump stated in a Fox News program that although a war with Iran might affect the U.S. midterm elections, he does not regret starting the war.He emphasized that if he could do it all over again, he would do it exactly the same way as before, and he dismissed speculation from supporters who are dissatisfied due to the war. Trump also stated that this war would end immediately after the midterm elections.

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) stated in its latest risk report that major prediction market platforms such as Polymarket and Kalshi have not obtained the necessary authorization to provide event contract services in the EU, and some platforms only restrict users from certain EU countries. ESMA questioned the effectiveness of their geographical restrictions and VPN blocking measures.ESMA pointed out that event contracts may be classified as financial instruments based on their specific structure, fall under the MiCA framework, or be regulated by member states' betting regulations. If classified as financial instruments, their marketing, distribution, and sale to retail investors are generally subject to existing binary options restrictions.

The founder of Liebit Mining Pool (B.TOP), Jiang Zhuoer, stated that after the release of the latest PPI data in the United States, the probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates has risen to 70%. It is expected that tomorrow's CPI data will not be favorable either, and preparations are being made to short.

This week's upcoming release of the U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) has become a key point for judging whether inflation is re-accelerating. Bitget CFD Chief Analyst Lewis Huang pointed out in a live broadcast that, against the backdrop of 162,000 new non-farm jobs and an unemployment rate holding steady at 4.1%, the demand side in the U.S. remains resilient. If core PPI and service prices continue to stay high, companies may pass costs onto consumers, driving up subsequent CPI and prompting the market to reprice the Federal Reserve's policy path of "maintaining high interest rates for a longer period."Lewis Huang further analyzed two scenarios: if PPI exceeds expectations but CPI remains moderate, it indicates that companies lack pricing power and can only compress profit margins to absorb costs; if both PPI and CPI exceed expectations, it signifies that the inflation transmission chain has reopened, potentially serving as a catalyst for a stronger dollar and U.S. Treasury yields. From a trading perspective, if PPI exceeds expectations and drives the dollar up, gold and high-valuation tech indices like the Nasdaq 100 may come under pressure; conversely, if PPI falls short of expectations and the dollar retreats, it would support a rebound in gold and growth stock indices.Lewis Huang reminded traders that they should not only focus on the first wave of market movements following the data release but also observe whether PPI is confirmed by CPI, the dollar, and U.S. Treasury yields. If the rise in PPI is merely a short-term cost shock, the market impact will be limited; if costs continue to be transmitted to consumers, the market narrative may shift back to "recurring inflation and the continuation of high interest rates."

Garrett Jin stated in the latest weekly report that Bitcoin failed to break through the key resistance of $82,500 after reaching a high of $82,300 last week, and has returned to the consolidation range, indicating that the current consolidation is not yet over, and the market may not have completed half of the entire adjustment process.In the short term, spot demand has weakened, and supply remains heavy above $82,000. The risk-reward ratio for chasing prices higher or shorting on a pullback within the current range is poor.
