On September 14, WEEX TradFi market data showed that Dell (DELL) surged over 12% last Friday, reaching a historic high, while Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) also recorded an approximate 12% increase. WEEX Labs believes that the strong surge in Dell's stock price is mainly driven by two factors: first, the market's expectations for AI server orders and shipments continue to heat up, with strong demand for computing power from major clients enhancing its performance visibility; second, the hardware sector is demonstrating a more certain fundamental logic against the backdrop of cloud vendors expanding capital expenditures.WEEX Labs reminds that this week, macro policies will face a critical test. The market's core focus includes the key procedural vote on the CLARITY Act on September 15 in the Eastern U.S., as well as the Federal Reserve's FOMC interest rate decision on the 16th. The explosive potential of the U.S. stock market and the cryptocurrency market will depend on the Federal Reserve's stance on the probability of interest rate hikes, guidance on the dot plot path, and the progress of the legislation.

The report shows that for most trading volumes, Variational is currently the lowest-cost venue among listed assets, with the cost of a $1 million trade in the US100 market being only $47.The report points out that the trading volume of RWA perpetual contracts has grown from less than $1 billion in October 2025 to over $12 billion in August 2026, currently accounting for about 12% to 13% of on-chain perpetual contract trading volume, with a peak in July reaching 20%.

On September 10, U.S. stocks closed with all three major indices falling, marking the fourth consecutive trading day of declines; Brent crude oil briefly touched around $108, U.S. Treasury yields rose, suppressing risk appetite; the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell about 2.66%.

On September 9, WEEX TradFi market data showed that GameStop (GME) stock price slightly decreased by 1.41%, closing at $18.89. Its latest disclosed Q2 financial report shows an adjusted EPS of $0.27, revenue of $790.2 million, a year-on-year increase of 57% in collectibles sales, and an operating profit of $160.2 million, a record high. The adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year 2026 has been raised to over $650 million. WEEX Labs believes that the weak GME stock price is due to twofold pressure: first, the overall core revenue is still showing a severe double-digit decline compared to the same period last year, and the traditional retail to digital transformation has not achieved a fundamental breakthrough; second, market expectations regarding equity swaps and potential follow-up fundraising have squeezed bullish sentiment.In addition, AeroVironment (AVAV) will announce its FY27Q1 financial report after the market closes today, with market expectations for EPS around $0.22 and revenue around $468 million. Its stock price volatility will depend on the ramp-up of drone order capacity, gross margin performance, and the fulfillment of warehouse delivery guidance.

According to The Block, ZKsync developer Matter Labs has open-sourced the permission engine of its distributed ledger platform Prividium for financial institutions, allowing organizations to run, inspect, and modify core code in their own environments. The German central bank has become the first institution to test and deploy Prividium.Matter Labs CEO Alex Gluchowski stated that feedback from regulators regarding commercial core means reliance on a single vendor, and that open-sourcing the core "structurally eliminates adoption barriers."Other components of Prividium, such as the ZKsync OS core and Atlas sequencer, have previously been open-sourced. The permission engine is planned to operate as an independent component, allowing institutions to deploy it without a commercial agreement, but management tools and integration with existing systems remain commercial products. Gluchowski said, "The central bank running public code is the clearest signal in this direction."
