in response to community skepticism, Arc ecosystem Launchpad Long posted on X platform stating that the stock tokens issued by Long are backed 1:1 by real stocks held on Robinhood. The relevant asset backing can be verified through on-chain bridge vaults, and 1:1 redemption is available between Robinhood Chain and Arc.It stated that Arc native USDC currently has approximately a 2x premium due to the cross-chain bridge not yet being open, causing stock tokens denominated in it to show prices lower than the underlying stock market prices. With the Arc public mainnet and native USDC cross-chain bridge opening on September 16, the premium is expected to gradually return to normal. At that time, Long also plans to provide deep liquidity for the CRCL/USDC trading pair, and launch a stock rewards model, Launchpad native USDC support, and more stock issuers.Previously—hilariously—Arc mainnet will launch on September 16. BonkGuy posted today stating that it has recently begun short-term positioning in Arc, having already purchased LONG, the native token of Arc's main Launchpad, as well as the top three Meme coins by market cap on the platform. Subsequently, crypto KOL 0xShawn stated that the long.supply platform is a platform that has rug permissions at any time.

Odaily News: Crypto trader Bonk Guy posted on X platform responding to recent controversy surrounding his purchase of EMBER and explaining his position-building logic. Bonk Guy stated that he first noticed the project when EMBER's market cap was around $3 million but did not buy in. After observing for a day, he revisited his research due to the platform's rapid data growth and bought in from around a $7 million market cap all the way up to a $20 million market cap.Bonk Guy said that EMBER is a major Launchpad built on Meteora, supporting SOL, USDC, and over 150 tokenized stocks as pairing assets for token issuance. It utilizes Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve technology and offers features such as token fee distribution, Daily Jackpots, and DAO governance.According to his disclosure, Ember has recorded approximately $51.7 million in trading volume, $561,000 in fees, and has cumulatively issued 2,041 tokens within 3 days of launch, with over 41,800 unique holder addresses and 149,000 Solana transactions. BonkGuy compared his Ember purchase to his previous PONS trade, noting that he first saw PONS when its market cap was below $1 million, similarly ignored it for a full day, and then started buying at around a $4 million market cap. Rather than whether a trending token has already emerged, what matters more is observing the real usage data underlying the Launchpad.Additionally, Bonk Guy stated that both Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain have multiple successful Launchpads, while Solana's Meme trading ecosystem has been developing for a longer time, so there is no reason to believe that Solana can ultimately only accommodate one successful Launchpad. He also stated that his trades are not based on market consensus. Some of his most successful trades in the past often came from discovering opportunities before the market formed a consensus; by the time everyone agrees, the asymmetric upside potential has usually already been significantly reduced.Regarding the recent controversy, Bonk Guy said that the claim of "EMBER having over 50% Bubblemaps address clusters" has been clarified by Bubblemaps; his earlier statement that Ember was "launched by Meteora" was also inaccurate—a more precise description is that Ember is built on Meteora-related infrastructure and has now been listed on Meteora's ecosystem page. Bonk Guy emphasized that he has no relationship with the Ember team, and EMBER is a personal trade for him.

Odaily News: Circle announced that its Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) now supports a prepaid fee feature for fast transfers. Previously, protocol fees were deducted directly from the USDC transfer amount on the destination chain. With this update, developers can pre-quote and collect fees via native gas tokens on the source chain or USDC before the transfer is executed, simplifying fee handling for cross-chain transfers and ensuring users receive the expected amount of USDC.According to Circle, the prepaid fee mechanism primarily improves fee predictability in cross-chain applications. Users no longer face reduced actual settlement amounts caused by additional deductions on the destination chain. Meanwhile, the CCTP Quote API can uniformly calculate fees across different supported chains and consolidate Fast Transfer and Forwarding fees into a single quote, eliminating the need for developers to build separate systems to calculate multiple protocol fees. Additionally, fees can be paid directly using source chain native tokens without reducing or impacting the actual USDC balance being transferred.
