strongest month of 2026 as Bitcoin rallied roughly 25%. The renewed buying dramatically improved what had previously been a rough year for the funds, cutting year-to-date net outflows from $5.29 billion to just $1.77 billion. Institutional demand appeared particularly strong, with crypto funds reportedly attracting $3.2 billion in a single week and BlackRock&#8217;s IBIT accounting for nearly $1 billion of those inflows. Total Bitcoin ETF assets finished August near $100 billion, highlighting just how significant these regulated investment vehicles have become for BTC market liquidity.</p><p>However, September has already provided a reminder that the market is not completely out of the woods. Bitcoin ETFs opened the month with a $236 million outflow as BTC briefly slipped below $77,000, suggesting continued inflows will be important for maintaining August&#8217;s momentum. Meanwhile, the institutional bid appears to be expanding beyond Bitcoin, with Ethereum ETFs flipping positive for the year at $732 million in net inflows and XRP ETFs reaching $502 million. While short-term flows can reverse quickly, August represents another strong sign that institutional crypto demand remains alive and could become an increasingly important driver of the market.</p><h2><strong>Highlighted News:</strong></h2><ul><li><p><span>&#128202;

self-custodial neobank-style app designed to turn its USDe synthetic dollar into everyday money. Built exclusively on Avalanche, the app combines savings, global transfers and card spending while offering up to 6% APY on dollar balances and as much as 10% cashback at selected merchants for higher-tier users. Users can receive fiat or crypto directly into the app, send funds internationally and spend through a Visa-compatible card, effectively packaging stablecoin infrastructure into a familiar banking experience. ENA rallied roughly 9% following the announcement.</p><p>The bigger story is Ethena attempting to move USDe from a primarily crypto-native asset into something consumers could actually use to save, send and spend money. The beta is initially rolling out across 48 countries, while major markets including the United States and European Union remain excluded for now as Ethena works through regulatory requirements. If stablecoin-powered neobanks can offer meaningfully higher savings rates and cheaper global transfers without forcing consumers to understand DeFi, products like Ethena Pay could become an important bridge between crypto infrastructure and mainstream finance. The challenge will be proving those attractive rewards are sustainable while successfully navigating regulation across each new market.</p><h2><strong>Highlighted News:</strong></h2><ul><li><p><span>&#128176;

processing a record 5.52 million transactions on August 30 and generating roughly $2.66 million in daily app revenue. That figure placed Robinhood Chain ahead of Ethereum, Hyperliquid, and Base, trailing only Solana. Much of this growth has been driven by speculative trading, with token launchpad Pons seeing roughly 22,600 new tokens created in a single day while Pons and memecoin trading platform GMGN accounted for the majority of application revenue. DEX volume has also surged toward $1 billion per day as traders increasingly migrate toward the new ecosystem.</p><p>Interestingly, this is not exactly the adoption Robinhood originally designed the chain around. Tokenized stocks and other real-world assets were positioned as its flagship use case, yet memecoins have quickly become the network&#8217;s dominant growth engine. Still, RWA activity is also expanding, suggesting the speculative boom may be helping bootstrap liquidity and users for Robinhood&#8217;s longer-term tokenization ambitions. While a single day of revenue does not suddenly make Robinhood Chain larger than Ethereum, its ability to attract this much activity so quickly is impressive and could establish the network as another serious battleground for onchain traders.</p><h2><strong>Highlighted News:</strong></h2><ul><li><p><span>&#8226; &#127993; Robinhood Chain app revenue hits $2.66M in 24 hours, topping Ethereum and Hyperliquid</span></p><div class="twitter-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/wublockchain/status/2094265139126214757?s=46&quot;,&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;Robinhood Chain&#8217;s 24-Hour App Revenue Surpasses Ethereum and Hyperliquid L1, Nearly 6x Base&#8217;s\n\nAccording to DeFiLlama data, Robinhood Chain generated $2.66 million in app revenue over the past 24 hours, surpassing Hyperliquid L1&#8217;s $1.7 million and Ethereum&#8217;s $1.27 million, and &#8230;&quot;,&quot;username&quot;:&quot;WuBlockchain&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Wu Blockchain&quot;,&quot;profile_image_url&quot;:&quot;https://pbs.substack.com/profile_images/1763570636201615360/fuFapqAI_normal.jpg&quot;,&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-08-31T03:24:53.000Z&quot;,&quot;photos&quot;:[{&quot;img_url&quot;:&quot;https://pbs.substack.com/media/HRBTBW3aMAAGXYF.jpg&quot;,&quot;link_url&quot;:&quot;https://t.co/TwkQ81bqvc&quot;}],&quot;quoted_tweet&quot;:{},&quot;reply_count&quot;:28,&quot;retweet_count&quot;:20,&quot;like_count&quot;:244,&quot;impression_count&quot;:30622,&quot;expanded_url&quot;:null,&quot;video_url&quot;:null,&quot;video_preview_media_key&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false}" data-component-name="Twitter2ToDOM"></div></li><li><p><span>&#129689; PONS takes Robinhood Chain&#8217;s top spot at $250M as BONER and other tokens surge</span></p><div class="twitter-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/Tyler_Did_It/status/2094394781791363501?s=46&quot;,&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;Robinhood Chain's leaderboard saw some major shakeups this weekend\n\n- Pons flipped Cashcat to take top spot at $250M\n- Stonkbroker rebounded big to $65M and top 4\n- Statics soared 200% to $34M and top 6\n- UP jumped 120% to $20M and top 10\n- BONER popped 400% to $16M and new ATH &#8230;&quot;,&quot;username&quot;:&quot;Tyler_Did_It&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;TylerD &#129497;&#8205;&#9794;&#65039;&quot;,&quot;profile_image_url&quot;:&quot;https://pbs.substack.com/profile_images/1561354964534018049/T9lKN_2c_normal.jpg&quot;,&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-08-31T12:00:02.000Z&quot;,&quot;photos&quot;:[{&quot;img_url&quot;:&quot;https://pbs.substack.com/media/HRDFnxIW8AEkOGG.jpg&quot;,&quot;link_url&quot;:&quot;https://t.co/W3UV5P05SY&quot;}],&quot;quoted_tweet&quot;:{},&quot;reply_count&quot;:16,&quot;retweet_count&quot;:10,&quot;like_count&quot;:127,&quot;impression_count&quot;:9491,&quot;expanded_url&quot;:null,&quot;video_url&quot;:null,&quot;video_preview_media_key&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false}" data-component-name="Twitter2ToDOM"></div></li></ul><ul><li><p>&#129425; Hyperliquid Labs reportedly explores a partnership with Kraken parent Payward for US perps</p><div class="twitter-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/MuyaoShen/status/2094467260534427799&quot;,&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;SCOOP: Hyperliquid Labs is in talks with Payward, Kraken&#8217;s parent company, to bring Hyperliquid&#8217;s crypto perps to the US.

$0.07, with rising protocol revenue providing fundamental support for the move. Pons generated hundreds of thousands of dollars in daily revenue during the rally, with approximately $640,000 reportedly deployed toward PONS buybacks over three days. Roughly 80% of protocol revenue is currently allocated toward buying PONS and burning the tokens, creating an interesting flywheel where increased launchpad activity generates fees, fees fund buybacks, and buybacks permanently reduce supply. Nearly 30% of the original 1 billion PONS supply has reportedly already been burned.</p><p>The bigger question is whether Pons can maintain enough organic activity to keep the flywheel spinning. Integrations with Coinbase&#8217;s cbBTC and Chainlink CCIP could expand liquidity and cross-chain accessibility for tokens launched through the platform, potentially increasing trading activity and protocol revenue. However, Pons remains a relatively young protocol operating on the equally young Robinhood Chain, and its current 80% buyback allocation is not yet immutable. If Robinhood Chain continues attracting users and Pons maintains its position as a leading launchpad, the combination of growing revenue and aggressive supply reduction could remain a powerful tailwind for PONS. If activity cools, however, the buyback engine could slow just as quickly.</p><h2><strong>Highlighted News:</strong></h2><ul><li><p>&#128640; Pons lets creators launch tokens paired with stocks or BTC</p><div class="twitter-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/ponsdotfamily/status/2093459948227215595?s=46&quot;,&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;Launch a token paired with any supported asset from stock tokens to BTC\n\nToken creators have earned over $19,100,000 on Pons since release &quot;,&quot;username&quot;:&quot;ponsdotfamily&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Pons&quot;,&quot;profile_image_url&quot;:&quot;https://pbs.substack.com/profile_images/2076798431251636224/8IgOUQCd_normal.jpg&quot;,&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-08-28T22:05:20.000Z&quot;,&quot;photos&quot;:[{&quot;img_url&quot;:&quot;https://pbs.substack.com/media/HQ11uC8XIAAXxiK.jpg&quot;,&quot;link_url&quot;:&quot;https://t.co/ZtFXFZivzh&quot;}],&quot;quoted_tweet&quot;:{},&quot;reply_count&quot;:101,&quot;retweet_count&quot;:62,&quot;like_count&quot;:567,&quot;impression_count&quot;:64825,&quot;expanded_url&quot;:null,&quot;video_url&quot;:null,&quot;video_preview_media_key&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false}" data-component-name="Twitter2ToDOM"></div></li><li><p>&#128179; Rain responds to Solana card-program vulnerability</p><div class="twitter-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/raincards/status/2093435073081053518?s=46&quot;,&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;Earlier today, Rain&#8217;s monitoring systems discovered a vulnerability impacting a small number of programs using an outdated version of our Solana contracts.

Avalanche and Chainlink to Schwab Crypto in the coming months. The three assets will join Bitcoin and Ethereum, which became available through the platform earlier this year. Schwab says the expansion reflects client demand for established cryptocurrencies, while signaling that additional digital assets could be added over time.</span></p><p><span>While adding three altcoins may seem modest compared with crypto-native exchanges, Schwab brings a massive traditional investor base into the equation. Giving brokerage clients the ability to trade $SOL, $AVAX and $LINK alongside stocks and other investments removes another layer of friction between traditional finance and crypto. With Schwab continuing to broaden its digital asset offering, crypto&#8217;s slow march into mainstream brokerage accounts appears to be gaining momentum.</span></p><h2><strong>Highlighted News:</strong></h2><ul><li><p><span>&#129689; Schwab plans to add SOL, AVAX and LINK to Schwab Crypto</span></p><div class="twitter-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/CharlesSchwab/status/2092971656633327719&quot;,&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;We are planning to expand the digital assets available on Schwab Crypto&#8482;.

initially rolling out to eligible customers in Denmark, Poland and Portugal before a broader European Economic Area expansion later this year. Although branded around Revolut&#8217;s ecosystem, EURR is actually issued by Stripe-owned Bridge, which manages the reserves backing the token. The stablecoin will be integrated directly into Revolut and allows European users to move euro-denominated value onto Ethereum and Polygon without first taking on the dollar exposure associated with stablecoins such as USDC.</span></p><p><span>For now, EURR looks more like a controlled pilot than a serious challenger to the dominant stablecoins, with just 374 EURR reportedly circulating at launch. The bigger question is whether Revolut can give customers a compelling reason to use EURR instead of simply holding euros or using established stablecoins. Still, with banks, fintechs and payment giants increasingly experimenting with stablecoins, Revolut&#8217;s entrance provides another sign that the on-chain money movement is becoming a mainstream financial product. If EURR can build liquidity and useful payment integrations as the rollout expands, it could help push euro-denominated stablecoins further into the crypto mainstream.</span></p><h2><strong>Highlighted News:</strong></h2><ul><li><p><span>&#127466;&#127482; Revolut rolls out EURR, a euro-pegged stablecoin</span></p><div class="twitter-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/Stablecoin/status/2092593167396634678&quot;,&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;Euro stablecoins are coming to <span class=\&quot;tweet-fake-link\&quot;>@Revolut</span>.\n\nEURR is now rolling out, allowing eligible users to hold euro-denominated balances, move between euros and crypto, and send to external wallets on supported networks.\n\nIssued on <span class=\&quot;tweet-fake-link\&quot;>@Stablecoin</span>'s Open Issuance platform under our EMI license&quot;,&quot;username&quot;:&quot;Stablecoin&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Bridge&quot;,&quot;profile_image_url&quot;:&quot;https://pbs.substack.com/profile_images/1825927640668319750/w5LioAfn_normal.jpg&quot;,&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-08-26T12:41:04.000Z&quot;,&quot;photos&quot;:[],&quot;quoted_tweet&quot;:{&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;We&#8217;re rolling out EURR, our first euro-backed stablecoin, in the Revolut app.&quot;,&quot;username&quot;:&quot;Revolut&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Revolut&quot;,&quot;profile_image_url&quot;:&quot;https://pbs.substack.com/profile_images/1877399185344921600/XZ-UAkZt_normal.jpg&quot;},&quot;reply_count&quot;:7,&quot;retweet_count&quot;:19,&quot;like_count&quot;:112,&quot;impression_count&quot;:7203,&quot;expanded_url&quot;:null,&quot;video_url&quot;:null,&quot;video_preview_media_key&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false}" data-component-name="Twitter2ToDOM"></div></li><li><p><span>&#127974; BankChain Alliance brings 39 state banking associations on-chain</span></p><div class="twitter-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/coindesk/status/2092525910725460133&quot;,&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;NEW: 39 U.S. state banking associations launch the BankChain Alliance, an industry-owned blockchain network targeting tokenized deposits, stablecoins and smart payments. &quot;,&quot;username&quot;:&quot;CoinDesk&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;CoinDesk&quot;,&quot;profile_image_url&quot;:&quot;https://pbs.substack.com/profile_images/1840920544608165896/niPELF6e_normal.jpg&quot;,&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-08-26T08:13:49.000Z&quot;,&quot;photos&quot;:[{&quot;img_url&quot;:&quot;https://pbs.substack.com/media/HQolNfpW4AANyPx.jpg&quot;,&quot;link_url&quot;:&quot;https://t.co/MZMof54hMY&quot;}],&quot;quoted_tweet&quot;:{},&quot;reply_count&quot;:100,&quot;retweet_count&quot;:165,&quot;like_count&quot;:802,&quot;impression_count&quot;:179930,&quot;expanded_url&quot;:null,&quot;video_url&quot;:null,&quot;video_preview_media_key&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false}" data-component-name="Twitter2ToDOM"></div></li><li><p><span>&#128185; Havenex opens a Series A while pursuing regulatory licences</span></p><div class="twitter-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/kostascrypto/status/2092511473222259050&quot;,&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;Welcome Havenex.

trading on NYSE Arca following the conversion of the firm&#8217;s long-running Zcash Trust. The product gives traditional brokerage investors exposure to $ZEC without requiring them to directly purchase or custody the privacy coin. Grayscale is positioning privacy as an increasingly important crypto narrative as artificial intelligence expands the ability to monitor financial activity. ZEC has rallied sharply around the launch, while Grayscale&#8217;s trust held more than $313 million in assets immediately beforehand.</p><p>The timing is particularly notable given Zcash&#8217;s recent security scare. A critical vulnerability discovered in its Orchard shielded pool could theoretically have enabled counterfeit ZEC, although developers patched the issue and subsequently launched the Ironwood upgrade with additional supply protections.

versions of Apple, Nvidia, Meta, and Alphabet for eligible users outside the United States. Each B20 token represents a direct claim on a real share held 1:1 with regulated custodian Alpaca under Coinbase&#8217;s Abu Dhabi Global Market framework. Holders can self-custody the assets, receive economic benefits including dividends and stock splits, and trade them around the clock on supported onchain venues such as Aerodrome.</p><p>Perhaps more importantly for crypto, Coinbase selected Chainlink as the official oracle infrastructure for these assets, providing continuous pricing data that could allow tokenized stocks to function across DeFi lending, collateral, and structured-product markets. Rather than simply putting stocks on a blockchain, this model attempts to make traditional equities fully composable onchain. With tokenization gaining traction across Treasuries, private credit, funds, and now public equities, Coinbase&#8217;s move represents another meaningful step toward merging TradFi with DeFi&#8212;although access remains geographically restricted and the long-term regulatory framework for tokenized securities is still developing.</p><h2><strong>Highlighted News:</strong></h2><ul><li><p>&#128200;

increased platform usage feeds directly into PUMP&#8217;s buyback-and-burn mechanics. The platform says its BOOST mode has reinjected roughly $30 million into the &#8220;trenches&#8221; over the past 30 days, while August protocol revenue is tracking toward approximately $45 million. Pump.fun reportedly directs around half of eligible protocol revenue toward PUMP buybacks and burns, creating a flywheel where increased memecoin trading generates more fees, more token purchases, and a shrinking circulating supply. More than 16% of PUMP&#8217;s original supply has reportedly already been removed from circulation.</p><p>The setup has helped PUMP become a standout performer amid improving crypto market sentiment, with strong trading volumes and a technical breakout attracting additional attention. Historical comparisons suggest that periods of similarly strong Pump.fun revenue have coincided with significantly higher PUMP valuations, meaning continued ecosystem growth could leave room for further upside. However, the recent rally appears driven more by the strengthening of an existing tokenomics narrative than any single new catalyst, and future token unlocks remain an important risk to watch.</p><h2><strong>Highlighted News:</strong></h2><ul><li><p><span>&#128138;

expand buybacks of longer-dated government debt alongside comments from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that long-term yields remain too high. Bitcoin pushed toward $73,000 while Ethereum surged above $2,300, notably outperforming a US stock market that finished Thursday firmly in the red. Institutional demand also appears to be returning, with spot Bitcoin ETFs recording $517 million in net inflows&#8212;their largest day in roughly three and a half months&#8212;while Ethereum ETFs attracted $189 million, their strongest daily inflows in ten months. ETH&#8217;s rally has also been supported by declining exchange balances, with roughly 1.15 million ETH reportedly withdrawn from exchanges since early June.</span></p><p><span>The bigger question is whether the Treasury can actually keep long-term yields under control. Despite expanded buybacks and Bessent suggesting intervention could grow substantially, the 30-year Treasury yield climbed back toward 5.25%, showing that the massive bond market is not yet convinced. Still, the combination of improving liquidity expectations, renewed institutional ETF buying, and tightening ETH supply represents a much healthier setup for crypto than the market has seen recently. Should these conditions persist, Bitcoin could continue challenging higher levels while Ethereum may have an opportunity to test the important $2,500 region&#8212;but sustained momentum will likely depend on whether Treasury intervention proves durable rather than a one-off catalyst.</span></p><h2><strong>Highlighted News:</strong></h2><ul><li><p><span>&#128184;

double the size of its government debt repurchases, helping push long-term yields lower and supporting risk-on assets. Lower yields generally reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets such as Bitcoin, while a weaker dollar and rallying equities provided an additional tailwind. Despite remaining well below its October all-time high, Bitcoin&#8217;s historically low volatility could make this renewed momentum particularly interesting if broader liquidity conditions continue improving.</span></p><p><span>At the same time, institutional demand appears to be picking back up. US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $189.3 million of net inflows on Tuesday after adding $297.6 million on Monday, bringing August inflows to roughly $951 million. BlackRock&#8217;s IBIT accounted for the majority of Tuesday&#8217;s buying. Between improving macro conditions and renewed ETF demand, Bitcoin is once again receiving support from two of the strongest forces behind this cycle: global liquidity and institutional adoption.</span></p><h2><strong>Highlighted News:</strong></h2><ul><li><p><span>&#128184;

rulemaking effort under Chairman Paul Atkins and a potentially significant shift toward tailored U.S. digital asset regulation. The framework would create two fundraising exemptions: a startup track allowing eligible issuers to raise up to $5 million over four years, and a larger exemption permitting offerings of up to $75 million in a 12-month period with additional financial disclosures and ongoing reporting requirements. The proposal also introduces a conditional safe harbor that could allow certain crypto assets to stop being treated as part of an investment contract once an issuer has completed or permanently ceased its promised managerial efforts.</span></p><p><span>For the crypto industry, this could represent an important move away from regulation primarily through enforcement and toward clearer rules for launching tokens and raising capital onshore. However, Reg Crypto is still only a proposal, with a 60-day public comment period ahead and potentially months of revisions before any final rule. Atkins also emphasized that congressional legislation remains necessary for a durable long-term framework, particularly as the Clarity Act faces a tight timeline in the Senate. Even so, providing defined fundraising pathways and clearer conditions for when securities obligations can end could remove considerable uncertainty for U.S. crypto builders if the rules are ultimately adopted.</span></p><h2><strong>Highlighted News:</strong></h2><ul><li><p><span>&#128220; SEC proposes Reg Crypto for token fundraising</span></p><div class="twitter-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/SECGov/status/2089784594409103507&quot;,&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;&#128680; TODAY: The SEC proposed new rules, &#8220;Regulation Crypto Assets,&#8221; that would create a clear and fit-for-purpose framework for certain investment contracts involving crypto assets. &quot;,&quot;username&quot;:&quot;SECGov&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission&quot;,&quot;profile_image_url&quot;:&quot;https://pbs.substack.com/profile_images/1527037914659659777/9nXj4OYd_normal.jpg&quot;,&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-08-18T18:40:48.000Z&quot;,&quot;photos&quot;:[{&quot;img_url&quot;:&quot;https://pbs.substack.com/media/HQBkNnBWYAAVafK.jpg&quot;,&quot;link_url&quot;:&quot;https://t.co/SAA2sErMXF&quot;}],&quot;quoted_tweet&quot;:{},&quot;reply_count&quot;:151,&quot;retweet_count&quot;:1197,&quot;like_count&quot;:4161,&quot;impression_count&quot;:553394,&quot;expanded_url&quot;:null,&quot;video_url&quot;:null,&quot;video_preview_media_key&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false}" data-component-name="Twitter2ToDOM"></div></li><li><p><span>&#127472;&#127479; South Korea blocks Polymarket over gambling</span></p><div class="twitter-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/WuBlockchain/status/2089619122032410812&quot;,&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;South Korea Blocks Polymarket Over Gambling Concerns\n\nSouth Korea&#8217;s media regulator voted on Aug. 18 to block access to Polymarket, saying its winner-take-all markets on events including politics, elections, sports and weather encourage gambling.

proposed stablecoin rules to public comment for 60 days. The landmark legislation, signed into law in July 2025, is expected to take effect on January 18, 2027 and will generally require payment stablecoin issuers operating in the US to obtain an appropriate federal or state license. Treasury is also seeking to clarify when stablecoins are considered issued, offered, or sold in the US, while introducing restrictions around foreign-issued stablecoins serving American users.</span></p><p><span>However, Treasury and other regulators including the OCC, FDIC, and Federal Reserve reportedly missed a July deadline that would have allowed regulations to be finalized at least 120 days before the law takes effect. This creates the possibility that GENIUS enters force before every piece of regulatory guidance is complete. Nonetheless, continued rulemaking represents another major step toward giving stablecoins a durable legal framework in the US. Clearer rules could make it significantly easier for banks, fintech companies, and crypto-native businesses to build around dollar-backed stablecoins, even if regulators still have some homework to finish before January.</span></p><h2><strong>Highlighted News:</strong></h2><ul><li><p><span>&#129689;

with Galaxy Digital cutting its estimated odds of passage in 2026 to just 10%, down from 75% in May. Prediction markets have similarly turned bearish, with Polymarket odds falling from a February peak of 82% to below 20%. The biggest problem may simply be time: when the Senate returns in September, lawmakers will have only a narrow window to resolve disagreements surrounding government ethics provisions, developer protections and stablecoin rewards before election-season politics make major legislation increasingly difficult.</span></p><p><span>Stablecoin yield remains one of the biggest sticking points, as banks argue crypto rewards could pull deposits from the traditional financial system while crypto firms warn that overly restrictive rules could suppress innovation. Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser still supports passing a strong market structure bill despite those concerns, illustrating that traditional finance is not universally opposed to CLARITY. Although the rapidly falling odds are clearly a setback, the bill remains alive with a September vote scheduled and substantial support from the crypto industry.

Tether has finally completed its first full financial statement audit with Big Four accounting firm KPMG. KPMG issued an unqualified opinion on Tether International&#8217;s 2025 financial statements, the cleanest opinion an auditor can provide, with audited reserves exceeding liabilities by $6.814 billion at year-end. The review went considerably further than Tether&#8217;s longstanding quarterly attestations, covering its balance sheet, income statement, cash flows, transactions, systems, counterparties and supporting records. KPMG even physically counted and inspected every individual gold bar held by the company.</span></p><p><span>However, some important questions remain. Tether has not publicly released either the audited financial statements or KPMG&#8217;s opinion letter, meaning outsiders still cannot independently examine the work being celebrated. Additionally, the audit was conducted under AICPA standards rather than the PCAOB standards required for permitted U.S. stablecoin issuers under the GENIUS Act.

continue operating as New York attempts to shut down its event-contract business under state gambling laws. New York argues Kalshi operates an unlicensed gambling platform offering markets on sports, elections, culture and other events, while Kalshi and the CFTC maintain that these contracts are federally regulated financial instruments under the Commodity Exchange Act. CFTC Chair Michael Selig has argued that Congress never intended federally regulated derivatives exchanges to operate under a patchwork of individual state gaming laws, with the regulator warning that New York&#8217;s actions could disrupt Kalshi&#8217;s nationwide market.</span></p><p><span>The move represents a significant escalation in the broader fight over how prediction markets should be regulated in the US. Importantly, the CFTC&#8217;s order does not end New York&#8217;s lawsuit or establish that federal commodities law definitively overrides state gambling regulations, with previous court decisions producing setbacks for both Kalshi and the CFTC. However, the regulator&#8217;s willingness to use emergency powers demonstrates how strongly it views prediction markets as part of the federally regulated financial system rather than traditional sportsbooks. A favorable resolution for Kalshi could ultimately provide much-needed regulatory clarity for prediction markets and potentially strengthen the position of other crypto-adjacent financial platforms attempting to operate nationally under federal oversight.</span></p><h2><strong>Highlighted News:</strong></h2><ul><li><p><span>&#128302;

recorded one year ago, as stablecoins increasingly transition from crypto trading tools into practical payment assets. Nearly nine million crypto card purchases were completed during the month with an average transaction size of roughly $86. USDC and USDT now account for approximately 84% of tracked spending, while networks including Optimism, Solana, and Base are capturing an increasing share of the underlying settlement activity. Importantly, merchants do not need to directly accept crypto: stablecoins are converted into local currency at the point of sale while purchases continue flowing through familiar payment rails such as Visa.</span></p><p><span>Although $759 million remains tiny compared with the trillions processed by traditional card networks, the growth represents another meaningful step toward real-world crypto adoption. Stablecoins have already proven useful as dollar-denominated stores of value and cross-border settlement tools, but crypto cards give holders a relatively seamless way to actually spend those digital dollars in everyday life. If this growth continues, stablecoins may increasingly resemble a global digital banking layer sitting underneath existing financial infrastructure rather than an isolated product used primarily by crypto traders.</span></p><h2><strong>Highlighted News:</strong></h2><ul><li><p><a href="https://x.com/a16zcrypto/status/2085822242752262572"><span>&#128179; Crypto cards top $750M in monthly stablecoin spend</span></a></p></li></ul><div class="twitter-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/a16zcrypto/status/2085822242752262572&quot;,&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;Stablecoins are increasingly being spent by card swipe.\n\nCrypto payment cards have gone from a novelty to more than $750 million in monthly spend.

transaction fees during its first month and reportedly accounting for 38% of Ethereum L2 revenue in July. The chain has already attracted more than 420,000 real-world asset holders, $1.3 billion in TVL, and hundreds of millions of dollars in daily spot trading volume. Memecoins have driven a significant portion of early activity, but Robinhood&#8217;s support for tokenized stocks, stablecoins, and DeFi could ultimately prove much more important as the brokerage looks to bring its massive retail userbase onchain.</span></p><p><span>The early success also highlights an ongoing debate surrounding Ethereum&#8217;s L2-centric roadmap. While Robinhood Chain is Ethereum-compatible and settles back to the broader ecosystem, relatively little of the network&#8217;s revenue currently flows directly to Ethereum mainnet. Robinhood instead retains the majority of its protocol revenue while sharing 10% with the Arbitrum ecosystem. Nonetheless, the ability for a mainstream brokerage with roughly 28 million users to seamlessly introduce customers to tokenized assets and DeFi could represent an important step toward crypto adoption. If Robinhood can make interacting onchain feel as simple as trading inside a traditional brokerage app, its chain may become one of the clearest bridges yet between mainstream finance and crypto.</span></p><h2><strong>Highlighted News:</strong></h2><ul><li><p>&#127993;

$853.5 million in net inflows across five consecutive positive trading sessions, their strongest week since mid-April. BlackRock&#8217;s IBIT overwhelmingly led the charge with roughly $694 million of inflows, while Fidelity&#8217;s FBTC added another $116 million. The renewed institutional buying comes despite several potential headwinds including the Coldcard security incident, uncertainty surrounding the stalled BIP-110 fork, and another delay for the CLARITY Act. Meanwhile, a surprisingly weak US jobs report has reduced expectations for additional Federal Reserve rate hikes, potentially creating a more favorable backdrop for risk assets such as Bitcoin.</span></p><p><span>Still, one strong week does not necessarily mean institutions are fully back. Bitcoin ETFs remain roughly $4.4 billion in the red for 2026, while overall ETF trading volumes remain relatively subdued. Nonetheless, BTC holding around $65,000 while absorbing negative headlines and attracting hundreds of millions of dollars through regulated investment products is a constructive sign. Attention now turns toward upcoming US inflation data and whether ETF inflows can remain elevated for several consecutive weeks.

platform built on Robinhood Chain and powered by Uniswap v4. The product offers Instant Launches alongside four-hour Crowd Launches designed to reduce sniping and insider bundling. Every token launches with permanently locked liquidity, while the standard 0.25% LP fee is split between creators and an auto-compounding liquidity mechanism rather than flowing to Uniswap Labs. Traders were so eager that they discovered earlier smart-contract versions and generated more than $150 million in volume before the official interface went live.</span></p><p><span>This is a major strategic move for Uniswap, which can now control more of the token lifecycle, from creation and liquidity formation to discovery and trading. Its zero-fee model, established brand, and immediate integration across the Uniswap app, wallet, API, and third-party platforms could make Pools.trade difficult for smaller launchpads to compete against. However, the platform remains in beta, and it is unclear whether it will attract sustainable projects or simply accelerate memecoin churn.
