Odaily News: Arthur Hayes posted on platform X, stating that his article "Atencion" discusses the decline in the EUR/JPY exchange rate and its implications as a precursor to a new round of global currency printing.Arthur Hayes said he is currently in the depths of Patagonian winter, engaging in backcountry hiking and skiing.

He also mentioned that Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh will deliver a speech in Jackson Hole.Arthur Hayes stated that as the Chief Investment Officer of a family office, he needs to generate profits through investments. Due to his personal lifestyle, he focuses on one or two prices to gauge whether the pace of fiat liquidity injection is accelerating or slowing down, and based on this, he quickly adjusts his portfolio to a long position or moves to cash, never engaging in short selling. He noted that these indicators change over time, and his current macro core indicator is the EUR/JPY exchange rate. The full article was published on his Substack account cryptohayes.
Odaily News: The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has seized approximately $560,000 in cryptocurrency and taken control of the domain and servers of a fundraising website linked to Hamas.

Odaily News Crypto enterprises, asset managers, market makers, and consumer advocacy groups have submitted comments to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in response to its request for input on the regulatory framework for "novel ETFs," covering exchange-traded products such as crypto assets, private assets, event contracts, and leveraged strategies.Crypto industry organization Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI) recommended extending certain regulatory accommodations applicable to ETFs to non-ETF exchange-traded products. Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (A16z) stated that the SEC should assess products based on their underlying assets and risk profiles, rather than treating all novel ETFs as a single category.Grayscale opposed adding new portfolio restrictions for mature digital asset products, while Chainalysis suggested leveraging public blockchains to enable real-time monitoring and verifiable disclosures. Kalshi expressed support for including event contracts in registered funds, whereas consumer advocacy group Public Citizen opposed offering event contract ETFs to retail investors. The SEC will evaluate whether to adopt a unified regulatory framework or craft separate rules based on product structure and risk. (Decrypt)

Currently, the probability for September 4 stands at 24%; for September 11, 46%; for September 18, 64%; and for September 30, 73%.According to market rules, if a continuous 14-day period begins before the specified deadline during which the US has not taken qualifying military action against Iran, the market will resolve to "Yes"; otherwise, it will resolve to "No." The 14-day period is calculated starting from the day after the most recent qualifying military action; if no such action occurs after the market is created, the countdown begins from the day the market was established."Qualifying military action" refers to airstrikes or ground-to-ground missile strikes initiated by the US and directly targeting Iranian territory.

Odaily News: Variational has launched its first batch of Swap markets, XAU and US100, with execution costs reduced by up to 87.5% compared to on-chain TradFi perpetual contracts. Its trading mechanism aligns with traditional financial markets and can directly tap into TradFi dealer liquidity, providing deeper market liquidity and more predictable holding costs.Swaps offer exposure to underlying assets similar to perpetual contracts. The key differences lie in liquidity sources and holding costs: Swaps are priced based on TradFi liquidity and replace volatile funding rates with a stable holding cost rate primarily benchmarked to USD borrowing costs. Like all Variational markets, Swaps charge no trading fees. Swaps will trade alongside existing TradFi perpetual contracts, and Variational plans to list new Swap markets over the coming months at a cadence similar to its perpetual markets.
