Goldman Sachs: Crypto Trading Has Fallen for Ten Consecutive Months, Turning Point May Be Approaching
According to Chaoxiang Research, Goldman Sachs' research report dated August 24, 2026, indicates that cryptocurrency trading volume fell 30% in July and 21% in August, declining for 10 consecutive months, a duration that exceeded the median of the previous five cycles. Trading volume in this cycle has dropped 75% from its peak, while cryptocurrency market capitalization rebounded 21% over the past week. Goldman Sachs suggests a turning point in trading volume may emerge if market cap remains at current levels. On the regulatory front, 35% of institutional investors cite regulatory uncertainty as the biggest hurdle, while 32% identify regulatory clarity as the primary catalyst. The SEC recently proposed an innovation exemption framework. In 2026, over 10 additional digital asset companies received bank charters from the OCC, and more than 15 crypto firms have already been incorporated into the federal banking system. Crypto companies reduced expenses by an average of approximately 5% in 2026, lifting operating margins by roughly 5.8 percentage points. Goldman Sachs remains cautiously optimistic for the second half of the year, with sector valuations currently positioned at the 30th percentile over a five-year period. Key recommendations include COIN (target price $196), HOOD ($124), IBKR ($114, featured on Goldman Sachs' Conviction List US), and FIGR ($43). The investment logic diverges across the three sectors: traditional brokerages are poised for a September reversal, prediction markets are driven by the election cycle, and crypto equities benefit from a triple catalyst of market cap recovery, cost reductions, and regulatory reform.

Hong Kong’s First Criminal Conviction under CRS; CRS 2.0 to Mandate Reporting of Crypto Assets
Caixin reported that a private banking client was sentenced to six months’ immediate imprisonment and fined HK$500,000 for deliberately providing false information in a CRS declaration—the first criminal conviction in Hong Kong for violating CRS rules. CRS 2.0 refers collectively to the revised OECD Common Reporting Standard (CRS) and the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF); its framework entered into force on 1 January 2026. On 27 March 2026, the Hong Kong government published the Inland Revenue (Amendment) (Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information) Bill 2026 in the Gazette; the bill underwent its first reading in the Legislative Council on 1 April 2026 and is expected to take effect on 1 January 2027—marking Hong Kong’s accelerated domestic legislative implementation of CRS 2.0. CRS 2.0 explicitly brings cryptocurrencies within the mandatory reporting scope, including stablecoins, crypto derivatives, certain NFTs, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and specific electronic money products. Cryptocurrency exchanges, custodians, and related funds must fulfill KYC obligations and report information to tax authorities—systematically closing off avenues for concealing wealth using crypto assets.
Goldman Sachs: Updated List of 23 Highest-Conviction Buys, Vertex Added, Interactive Brokers Removed
According to Trend Research, Goldman Sachs' September 1 research report indicated that the U.S. high-conviction list was updated this month; Vertex Pharmaceuticals was added, Interactive Brokers Group was removed, and the list remained at 23 stocks. All U.S. equity gains in August were concentrated in the first two trading days, after which the market entered a summer consolidation phase, with Nvidia's robust earnings failing to break the stalemate. The 10-year Treasury yield rose by 9 basis points from the start of the month, Brent crude was essentially flat, while gold, silver, and bitcoin gained 9%, 22%, and 24%, respectively. Vertex was the standout performer this month. Goldman Sachs believes the company has five billion-dollar-plus commercial opportunities spanning cystic fibrosis, pain management, kidney disease, hematology, and the endocrine field following its proposed acquisition of Crinetics. Market expectations for peak sales of povetacicept in IgAN stand at $3.2 billion, significantly below Goldman Sachs' $5.8 billion estimate. Outperformers included Estée Lauder, which rose 5.3% in August, and DoorDash, up 18.1%. Following a strong second quarter, TPG raised its FRE expectations by approximately 10%. Viking Holdings and Applied Materials came under pressure amid overly elevated expectations. The list is constructed based on bottom-up fundamental analysis, covering six major sectors: consumer, financials, healthcare, industrials, resources, and technology.

U.S. Appeals Court Upholds SBF's Conviction, 25-Year Sentence, and $11 Billion Forfeiture Order
Odaily News: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has issued a formal order upholding the conviction and sentencing of former FTX CEO Sam "SBF" Bankman-Fried. The lower court previously found him guilty on seven felony counts and sentenced him to 25 years in federal prison. The three-judge panel rejected Bankman-Fried's appeal arguments that FTX had sufficient liquidity and that investors would be fully repaid without incurring losses, and upheld the $11 billion forfeiture order issued by the New York court in the criminal case. Circuit Judge Barrington D. Parker stated in the opinion that even if Bankman-Fried believed he would ultimately repay customers, it does not affect the applicability of wire fraud laws to the temporary misappropriation of funds or property. With the order now in effect, his legal avenues for seeking early release have narrowed, including options such as applying for a presidential pardon or appealing to the Supreme Court.
Goldman Sachs: August Conviction List Adds 6 Stocks, AI Theme Expands to Consumer and Industrial
According to TechFlow Research, Goldman Sachs released the monthly update of its US Stock Conviction List on August 3, adding Applied Materials (AMAT), Delta Air Lines (DAL), Microsoft (MSFT), O'Reilly Automotive (ORLY), Viking Holdings (VIK), and UPS (United Parcel Service), and removing Broadcom (AVGO), Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), and ServiceNow (NOW). In July, the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index outperformed the S&P 500 Index by approximately 435 basis points, and index correlation fell to a near-decade low. Goldman Sachs believes the stock selection environment is improving following the unwinding of AI momentum, with new additions spanning six sectors: semiconductor equipment, aviation, logistics, auto parts, cruise lines, and enterprise software. MSFT and AMAT carry the AI computing power logic, while the four non-AI stocks bet on economic and consumer resilience. The four removed stocks still maintain a Buy rating; their removal reflects the committee's view that there are more attractive opportunities on the current list.
