Odaily News: Chilean cryptocurrency exchange Orionx has announced it is ceasing operations and suspending user withdrawals. A forensic audit has found that over $7 million in custodial assets were transferred to wallets outside the company's control, resulting in a funding shortfall.Orionx has accused two founding partners, Joaquín Díaz and Roberto Zibert, along with other former employees, of involvement in the related transactions and has filed a report with Chile's National Prosecutor's Office. The complaint alleges the transactions occurred between 2018 and 2021.Chile's Financial Market Commission (CMF) stated that Orionx was not authorized to offer cryptocurrency financial services and that its operations did not comply with the Fintech Law. Orionx has stated that it cannot guarantee users will recover all their funds. (Bitcoin.com News)
Odaily News: Well-known trader Bonk Guy posted on the X platform, stating that the three tokens USELESS, MARSCOIN, and PONS are expected to become the fastest projects in their respective niche tracks to reach a $1 billion market cap in the new cycle. He noted that USELESS, MARSCOIN, and PONS respectively represent two core narratives in the current market: USELESS and MARSCOIN serve as the "barbell ends" of the Meme track, while PONS represents the utility track. He also called on the community: "LOCK IN!".
Odaily News – U.S. President Trump stated that his administration is pushing the decentralized perpetual contract trading platform Hyperliquid to enter the U.S. market in a "fully compliant and legal manner." Last month, Trump said the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) would work to facilitate Hyperliquid's entry into the U.S. market. Subsequently, Payward, the parent company of Kraken, announced it is cooperating with the CFTC to offer registered U.S. users certain crypto perpetual contract products related to Hyperliquid's market and its underlying Layer 1 blockchain through the CFTC-regulated platform Bitnomial.Nansen research analyst Nicolai Sondergaard believes this arrangement could allow Hyperliquid to provide some of its underlying technology, liquidity, or market design without directly opening its existing platform to U.S. users—essentially building a standalone U.S. market product around Hyperliquid's infrastructure. He noted that U.S. users may have access to fewer markets, lower leverage, and more conservative risk controls. At the same time, he opposes comprehensive KYC implementation, arguing that a one-size-fits-all KYC approach would undermine legitimate users' privacy and permissionless access rights, and would push liquidity toward offshore markets.
Odaily News Uniswap founder Hayden said on X that correlated trading pairs are emerging. The top five tokenized SPY trading pairs by volume are "bridge" pairs connecting other common base pairs, which then primarily link to highly correlated tokenized stocks. These markets are global, programmable, low-cost, and operate 24/7.Uniswap founder Hayden said on X:.I've been working at the frontier of DeFi for 9 years. It's a fascinating field with infinite depth and the potential to transform capital markets.I've always believed AMMs hold immense potential, but for the past decade, one question has persisted: Can this novel market structure truly become the core engine for all financial markets?After years of evolution and development, the path for AMMs to achieve global dominance is becoming increasingly clear. To explain this, we need to start in 1976.Tokenization Changes Market Makers.Index funds celebrated their 50th anniversary this month. When Jack Bogle launched the index fund in 1976, he hoped to raise $150 million but ultimately raised only $11.3 million. Competitors called it "Bogle's Folly," posting posters claiming index funds were un-American. They argued that a fund making no decisions couldn't possibly beat professionals paid to make decisions. Today, the majority of US fund assets are allocated to passive investment vehicles.I've been thinking about this recently because tokenization's "folly moment" is ending. The SEC has approved NASDAQ and the NYSE to trade tokenized stocks. DTCC, which handles virtually all US securities settlement, also conducted a live pilot of tokenized trades in July. Nearly all related activity is described the same way: treating tokenization as an infrastructure upgrade.The same markets, faster, cheaper, and always open. These statements are all true, but I believe the infrastructure upgrade framework obscures a larger change. Tokenization makes markets programmable, changing how markets exist, who makes markets, and what is traded.In 2018, I created Uniswap, an automated market maker protocol. Anyone can deposit two assets into a shared liquidity pool and earn fees from every trade, while prices adjust along a curve as users buy and sell. Uniswap has operated autonomously since its launch, processing over $4.6 trillion in cumulative volume and increasing DEX spot volume share from under 1% to over 20%.As AMMs like Uniswap continue to evolve, their liquidity has formed a pattern most financial markets haven't noticed yet: correlated trading pairs.The Easiest Place to Find Success.To succeed everywhere, you must first succeed somewhere. AMMs found product-market fit in long-tail markets because most assets previously couldn't attract professional market makers' attention. On Uniswap, anyone can create a market with a single transaction, and issuers and early supporters can become the first liquidity providers.Then came stablecoin pairs. Take USDC/USDT, for example. A good passive strategy can approach optimal l
According to Odaily, the yen has continued to strengthen recently, pushing the U.S. dollar index (DXY) lower and providing short-term support for dollar-denominated assets such as Bitcoin and gold. Data shows that the U.S. dollar against the yen (USD/JPY) fell 1.4% intraday to 156.40, after already declining 0.9% on Wednesday; the euro, pound, and Australian dollar all edged higher against the dollar. As a result, the DXY fell 0.4% to 99.22, approaching its 200-day moving average.Analysts believe this trend typically favors dollar-denominated assets like Bitcoin, while also helping to ease global financial conditions and boost market risk appetite. However, if the yen appreciates too rapidly, this logic could quickly reverse.Over the past decade-plus, many investors have used low-cost yen financing to invest in stocks, bonds, and even cryptocurrencies. If the yen appreciates sharply, yen carry trades could unwind, triggering a sell-off in risk assets. When yen carry trades were unwound in August 2024, Bitcoin fell roughly 20% within days.Market expectations are currently growing that the Bank of Japan will raise its policy rate from 1% to 1.25% on September 18, and the yen continues to face further appreciation pressure. Reports also indicate that officials from the U.S. and Japan have previously taken action to address "disorderly yen movements." Therefore, while a moderate yen appreciation is currently favorable for Bitcoin, if it evolves into a rapid, disorderly appreciation, it could instead become a risk factor for BTC. (CoinDesk)
According to CoinDesk, as the yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury note climbed 58 basis points year-to-date to 4.81%, the U.S. Dollar Index rose merely 0.9% to 99.22, signaling the breakdown of the traditional "higher yields drive a stronger dollar" logic. Japan's government bond yields surged 90 basis points this year, yet the yen fell to a 40-year low, and Germany's 10-year yield rose 45 basis points concurrently without the euro showing significant strength. Analysts note that markets may have begun interpreting rising yields as a signal of fiscal strain rather than fiscal robustness. This logical shift poses a potential tailwind for Bitcoin — amidst expectations of government debt monetization and currency devaluation, hard assets with inelastic supply, such as Bitcoin and gold, may attract safe-haven capital inflows.
Odaily News: According to Lookonchain monitoring, PONS market cap has surpassed $500 million. A trader (0xe3b...aB62) deposited $54,000 into Aster DEX 6 hours ago, then opened a long position on 447,100 PONS with 4x leverage, bringing the position value to $226,000. The unrealized profit currently stands at $8,600, representing a return rate of 15%.
Odaily News, according to on-chain analyst Ai Yi’s monitoring, since August 30, two addresses associated with @XXAntiWar have spent approximately $1.787 million in total to build positions in Niu Lai (Bull Market), with an average entry price below $0.086. Most of these positions were established when Niu Lai’s market cap reached $86 million. In recent days, the related addresses have transferred 17.57 million Niu Lai tokens to 7 addresses through multiple intermediaries, which should still be at a floating loss. Although Fomo shows that @XXAntiWar has fully exited its positions, this is actually due to the fact that the new holding addresses have not yet been recorded.
Odaily Odaily News Trader Bonkguy (unipcs) posted on platform X, stating that for those who missed the recent moves on Robinhood and BNB Chain, these movements may only be a warm-up. This typically occurs in the early stages of a new bull market cycle, or right before the market is about to accelerate. The real trend may begin in the fourth quarter, and when compared to it, the recent movements may only appear as minor fluctuations.Many people missed recent opportunities because they are still affected by their bear market experiences. The defensive habits that protected investors during the bear market may hinder their ability to profit during a bull market. The key lies in recognizing changes in the market environment and adjusting one's mental framework accordingly. Pullbacks will certainly occur as the market develops, but in a genuine bull market, pullbacks are often opportunities to accumulate positions in high-conviction assets. Market volatility may intensify further, and future conditions may exceed what most people expect. Ultimately, those who profit the most may not be the ones trying to predict every single move in the coming days, but rather those who identify the market's direction, position themselves early, and give their judgment enough time to play out.
According to Bloomberg, Morgan Stanley analyst Michael Cyprys upgraded Robinhood Markets' stock rating from "underweight" to "overweight," citing that its prediction market business provides "validation" for the company's continued revenue growth. Cyprys noted that Robinhood's prediction market users have surpassed 2 million, contributing $156 million in revenue in the second quarter while also driving users to adopt other products.
Odaily News Cryptoquant founder and CEO Ki Young Ju stated that the peak of Bitcoin's current bull market cycle may be driven by institutional capital outside the United States and ETF demand. He pointed out that deeper stablecoin liquidity and tokenized asset infrastructure will expand global market participation.Ki Young Ju cited South Korea as an example, noting that the country currently has no spot Bitcoin ETFs, retail investors cannot purchase overseas-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs, and most companies are unable to open trading accounts to buy BTC. South Korea has gradually opened up corporate participation in phases, with the Financial Services Commission (FSC) roadmap covering approximately 3,500 listed companies and qualified professional investors, but financial institutions and other businesses remain excluded.Strategy's Bitcoin bank adoption index evaluated 25 major institutions covering trading, custody, digital asset products, financing, and corporate participation, with an overall adoption rate of 32%. As of August 29, RWA.xyz data shows that the distributed asset value of global tokenized assets is $38.63 billion, up 2.65% from 30 days ago.The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) stated that stablecoins have the potential to enable faster, programmable payments, but current designs may pose financial integrity, liquidity, and monetary risks. Ki Young Ju pointed out that U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded cumulative net inflows of approximately $57 billion in the first two years since launch, and the next phase will be global institutionalization, with more institutions adopting BTC as a strategic asset, and countries lacking ETFs will also improve relevant investment channels.

The whale Set 10 Big Goals First posted The bull should return swiftly, potentially indicating an established long position in Bitcoin. Previously, they noted that their BTC long positions were taken across the 74,000 to 82,000 dollar range, with a stop-loss order to execute if the price drops below 72,000 dollars. They believe BTC exhibits strong upward momentum rebounding from its lows, driven mainly by inflows into spot ETFs. Additionally, the correction in the AI sector and Bitcoin's long-term decoupling from U.S. equities could prompt risk capital to flow back into BTC.
Odaily News Nvidia will release its fiscal 2026 second-quarter earnings after the U.S. market close. According to analyst estimates compiled by LSEG, the company's quarterly earnings per share are expected to be $2.10, with revenue projected to reach $92.17 billion.The market expects Nvidia's revenue to nearly double from $46.7 billion in the same period last year, continuing the rapid growth driven by the wave of artificial intelligence infrastructure investment. As a core supplier of AI computing power, Nvidia's GPUs are widely used to train and run advanced AI models, and the company is also involved in advancing the construction of next-generation AI data centers through financing support and other means.However, after nearly three years of significant gains, investor expectations for Nvidia have become more cautious. As of Tuesday's close, Nvidia has risen approximately 14% year-to-date, slightly outperforming the Nasdaq index. Market concerns include competitive pressure from rivals such as AMD and Google, as well as rising costs stemming from the global memory chip shortage.Currently, Nvidia is in a new product cycle, with its latest Vera Rubin AI system already being delivered to customers including Microsoft and OpenAI. Investors will focus on sales progress and supply conditions for the Rubin and Blackwell chip families, as well as the company's outlook for future AI computing power demand.Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has previously stated that he expects the current product cycle based on the Blackwell and Vera Rubin architectures to generate cumulative sales of $1 trillion by 2027. The company will hold its earnings conference call at 5:00 PM ET. (CNBC)
Odaily News Bitcoin has rebounded strongly recently. Analysts believe that record-breaking short squeeze activity, along with policy signals from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, may be pushing the market into a new phase of bull market cycle adjustment.Data shows that Bitcoin has risen approximately 23% over the past week, marking its largest weekly gain since the post-U.S. election rally in November 2024. Crypto market trading activity has also recovered in tandem, with spot and perpetual contract trading volume surging 188%. CME Bitcoin futures volume rose 152%, and the annualized futures basis climbed to 11.1%—the highest level since January 2025. Additionally, Bitcoin ETF products recorded net inflows of approximately 31,740 BTC over the week, the strongest capital inflow since the market peak in October 2025.Vetle Lunde, Head of Research at crypto research firm K33 Research, stated that the early phase of this rally was primarily driven by short covering. On August 19, Bitcoin short positions saw a single-day liquidation scale of $1.37 billion, a record high, followed by another $739 million in short liquidations on August 21. The massive short squeeze pushed open interest in perpetual contracts down to 284,000 BTC, the lowest level since May, while market funding rates also returned to neutral.On the macro front, policy signals from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent regarding increased long-term Treasury buybacks are also viewed by analysts as a market catalyst. K33 believes that the Treasury buyback program could lower long-term interest rates and boost demand for scarce assets. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's correlation with gold has risen, with the 90-day correlation coefficient reaching 0.52—the highest since October 2020—while its correlation with the Nasdaq index has declined to 0.38, a one-year low.Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at crypto investment firm Bitwise Asset Management, believes that Bessent's recent remarks on sanctions against Iran's financial network have further strengthened Bitcoin's investment thesis: as the global financial system becomes increasingly influenced by geopolitics, the value of assets that are decentralized and do not rely on any single nation's financial system may appreciate further.

Odaily News Trader Bonk Guy stated that the market is gradually recognizing the potential of PONS. He noted that PONS currently generates approximately $56 million in annualized revenue, with 80% used for buybacks and burns of PONS; in comparison, Pump.fun generates about $460 million in annualized revenue, with 50% used for buybacks and burns of PUMP, while PUMP is currently valued at approximately $2 billion.Bonk Guy believes that even if PONS were given only 10% of PUMP's valuation, its market cap should reach around $200 million. Additionally, Pons has contributed to roughly half of the on-chain activity on Robinhood Chain, with at least 5 tokens issued through Pons having a market cap exceeding $10 million and at least 20 exceeding $1 million.Regarding the market's recent expectations around Robinhood listings, Bonk Guy stated that as one of the main Meme coin issuance platforms on Robinhood Chain, a future PONS listing on Robinhood is, in his view, "inevitable," and the current rally is not solely driven by listing expectations.
According to Digital Asset, Hyperliquid launched the AQAv2 (Aligned Quote Asset v2) mechanism on August 26, allocating a portion of the returns generated by USDC reserves on the platform toward capital accumulation, which will ultimately be directed to the Assistance Fund for secondary market repurchases and burns of HYPE to reduce its circulating supply. Under this mechanism, Circle is responsible for USDC technical deployment, while Coinbase handles reserve management; stablecoin issuers are expected to share approximately 90% of the relevant reserve returns with the protocol after deducting operating costs. Returns are accumulated on a 30-day cycle, with the initial fund transfer expected on October 3. Market estimates indicate that, based on current USDC outstanding balances and yield rates, annualized returns could reach $135 million to $160 million, although the actual repurchase scale will ultimately depend on the platform's USDC supply and reserve yields.
According to Cointelegraph, analysts pointed out that Bitcoin (BTC) has entered the early stages of a new bull market, but $83,000 remains a key resistance level for confirming the uptrend.
Odaily News According to data from the Korea Securities Depository, Korean retail investors are aggressively purchasing the ADR (American Depositary Receipt) of SK Hynix listed on the US Nasdaq, resulting in a significant premium for the ADR compared to the company's domestic shares.From the listing of the SK Hynix ADR on Nasdaq on July 10 to August 19, Korean investors recorded cumulative net purchases of approximately $835 million (about 1.16 trillion KRW) in SK Hynix ADR, ranking second among US stocks bought by Korean investors during the same period and accounting for 16.4% of the total net purchases of US stocks by Korean investors.This trend has led to a widening price gap between the SK Hynix ADR and its domestic shares. On August 19, SK Hynix's domestic shares closed down 9.75% at 1.5 million KRW, while the US-listed ADR rose 0.35% to close at $156.16. Since one SK Hynix ADR corresponds to 0.1 domestic share, the theoretical value of the domestic share converted from the ADR price should be approximately 10 times the ADR price. However, as of the 19th, the domestic share price was only 6.82 times the converted ADR price, indicating an approximate premium of 46.67% for the ADR over the domestic shares. (NATE)
Odaily News According to data from the Korea Securities Depository, Korean retail investors recorded a net purchase of approximately $85.61 million (about 118.5 billion KRW) in the "Roundhill Memory ETF" between August 14 and 20, making it the second-largest product by net purchase amount among the country's overseas individual stocks and ETFs (trailing only Google's parent company Alphabet). This actively managed ETF primarily invests in major memory chip companies such as Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron.Recently, memory chip stocks have shown a clear rebound. From August 10 to 21, SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics saw their stock prices rise by 21.6% and 21.8%, respectively, both outpacing the 10.4% gain of the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) over the same period. On the US market side, Micron rose approximately 11% during the same timeframe, while SanDisk gained around 32%.The domestic Korean ETF market has also seen capital inflows. Data shows that between August 14 and 20, the "TIGER US S&P500 ETF," which tracks the S&P 500 index, attracted net inflows of 170.9 billion KRW, while the "KODEX US Nasdaq 100 ETF," which tracks the Nasdaq 100 index, saw net inflows of 132.3 billion KRW. Market analysts believe that as expectations for a semiconductor cycle recovery grow, investors are increasing their allocations to the AI chip and memory chip supply chain. (Daum)
Odaily News - U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Michael Selig stated that if the Clarity Act continues to be stalled by Democratic obstruction, the CFTC will leverage its existing authority to begin establishing a regulatory framework for crypto assets and has directed staff to expedite formal rule proposals.Selig has instructed staff to study incorporating digital asset market structure into CFTC rules, with both existing CFTC registrants and currently unregistered crypto exchanges potentially falling under regulatory scope. Rules tailored to digital assets may permit leverage and margin trading.On Thursday, Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of $606 million, marking the highest single-day figure since May 1; Ethereum ETFs recorded net inflows of $219 million, the highest since September 2025. Over the past 24 hours, short liquidations in the crypto market exceeded $1.2 billion, approaching $5 billion over the past two days. (Decrypt)
