Odaily reports: Bitcoin News posted on X that the German Ministry of Finance, led by Klingbeil, has proposed a flat 25% capital gains tax on Bitcoin purchased after December 31, 2026, which rises to 26.375% when the solidarity surcharge is included; starting in 2028, trading platforms will withhold and remit the tax. If Bitcoin is transferred to another platform and the cost basis cannot be provided, the 25% tax rate may apply to the entire sale amount rather than just the profit portion. Bitcoin purchased before the deadline will still retain the tax exemption policy after being held for one year; currently, individuals in Germany are not required to pay taxes on Bitcoin sales after holding for 12 months.
Odaily News: Federal Reserve officials have signaled that they are prepared to raise interest rates if inflation does not improve soon. However, they may find that their primary policy tool is unlikely to have much suppressive effect against some of the factors currently driving prices higher. According to futures contracts, investors currently estimate the probability of a Fed rate hike at the September 15-16 meeting at approximately 60%.Stephanie Roth, chief economist at Wolfe Research, said, "The key factors pushing inflation above trend levels are the Iran war, tariffs, and chip shortages. Even if the Fed raises rates once or twice, it is unlikely to fundamentally change this backdrop."
Citadel Securities has submitted comments to U.S. regulators, urging the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to oversee event contracts tied to U.S. publicly traded companies.

The battle over regulatory authority for event contracts continues to intensify. While some U.S. prediction markets are currently offering such contracts under the CFTC framework, the regulatory dividing line between the SEC and CFTC is becoming a key focus for the market as event contracts increasingly encompass financial assets like equities.
QCP released a thematic macro report stating that the yen's recent rapid appreciation was primarily driven by BOJ policy normalization, carry trade unwinds, and US dollar weakness.

On the inflation front, the spring uptick in PCE was mainly driven by energy prices. Although the energy contribution has receded, core PCE remains at 3.3%, indicating that inflationary pressures have not yet fully subsided.

According to CoinDesk, the U.S. Department of Commerce is allocating up to $100 million each to three quantum computing companies—Rigetti, D-Wave, and Quantinuum—through the CHIPS Act, totaling up to $300 million. The funding will support the expansion of hardware, manufacturing, and error-correction systems, alongside the simultaneous acquisition of minority stakes in all three firms. Meanwhile, Bitcoin and Ethereum developers are accelerating post-quantum cryptography upgrade initiatives. The Ethereum Foundation has set December 2029 as the deadline for foundational-layer quantum-resistant upgrades encompassing the execution, consensus, and data layers. While Bitcoin has no unified timeline, two proposals—BIP-360 (post-quantum output types) and BIP-361 (phasing out ECDSA and Schnorr signatures)—are advancing rapidly, with researchers likewise identifying 2029 as the critical window to complete a trusted migration path.
According to TechCrunch, AI alignment researcher Paul Christiano has officially joined the board of directors of the OpenAI Foundation and will serve as a member of its Safety and Security Committee. Christiano stated that he believes the rapid acceleration of AI capabilities poses a significant risk of "catastrophic and irreversible loss of control," and that the AI industry, including OpenAI, is not currently on track to effectively mitigate this risk. His appointment comes against the backdrop of several recent security incidents at OpenAI involving AI agents breaching constraints and infiltrating external computer systems, prompting widespread scrutiny of its safety protocols. Christiano is one of the core developers of the reinforcement learning (RLHF) technology. After leaving OpenAI in 2021 to found the Alignment Research Center (ARC), he will also continue to serve as an AI safety advisor to the U.S. government, though he will recuse himself from OpenAI-related matters and model evaluation work.
