The initial capital contribution for this subsidiary is set at 1 million USD, with an expected official establishment in September 2026. This entity will collaborate with the previously established asset management company (MAM) in Miami, USA, to form a 24-hour cross-time zone synergy, focusing on asset trading execution, position risk control, and market dynamics monitoring during the Asian time zone. Its main investment targets include Bitcoin, Bitcoin-related stocks, and priority securities issued by Bitcoin treasury companies, among other credit instruments. This move is an important step for Metaplanet in advancing the "Project Nova" Bitcoin financial platform strategy, and the company expects this investment to have a slight impact on the consolidated performance for the period ending December 2026.

The cross-chain protocol Chainflip disclosed that an attack incident targeting Tron USDT occurred yesterday. It has been confirmed that 736,442.17 USDT was stolen through 6 unauthorized payments, and an additional 115,654.41 USDT from user exchanges remains in the vault due to payment failures, while other funds were unaffected.Chainflip stated that the attacker exploited a vulnerability in the Tron transaction memo mechanism, attaching a custom memo to transactions that had already been signed by validators, causing the system to recognize the same deposit as a separate exchange and refund it again, ultimately leading to funds being paid out multiple times. The attacker executed 8 operations within approximately 90 minutes, gradually increasing the amounts. Chainflip claims to have completed a repair plan and has flagged the stolen funds to relevant authorities in an attempt to recover them, with operations expected to resume as early as Monday, and they will be responsible for compensating affected users for their losses.

Research institution Galaxy Research recorded a reorganization event at Bitcoin block height 966500, where mining pools Spiderpool and Antpool simultaneously discovered two valid blocks pointing to the same parent block, leading to a brief competition. Ultimately, the Antpool block joined the chain with a higher cumulative work, while the Spiderpool block was discarded.Galaxy Research stated that this is the third single-block reorganization that has occurred in Bitcoin in the past four weeks, with the previous two occurring at block heights 962722 and 963853. Its nodes only observed the block after the Antpool block completed confirmation and continued to extend on it. When a single-block reorganization occurs, the network will ultimately continue to build along the chain with the higher cumulative work, while the other block is removed from the chain. Monero has experienced an 18-block reorganization, and Bitcoin SV had a 100-block reorganization in 2021; if a transaction is in a block that is replaced, its confirmations will disappear.

Geoff Kendrick, the Global Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered, stated in a research report that SKY could reach $0.325 by the end of 2028, which is five times the benchmark price of $0.065 set in the report. The bank expects that the price increase of SKY will roughly synchronize with ETH and outperform Bitcoin before the end of 2028.Sky is a decentralized finance platform that will adopt its current name in 2024 and launch USDS and the governance token SKY. Since September 2024, Sky's agency has borrowed $5.9 billion USDS; the supply of USDS reached $10.04 billion in June, a year-on-year increase of 96.9%, down from $11.14 billion in May. Standard Chartered stated that further growth in USDS supply will drive protocol revenue and increase distributions to token holders, while staking rewards and a token buyback mechanism will be used to distribute value to SKY holders. The bank expects that the value distributed to holders will at least double in the next 12 months and noted that the slower-than-expected growth of yield-bearing stablecoins is a major risk to SKY's outlook.

Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua stated, "In the past two days, expectations of interest rate hikes have emerged, leading to a divergence in market trends. Since negative news has appeared, there are two possible scenarios: one is a real interest rate hike, which would lead to a short-term drop below 76,000, followed by a period of consolidation before rising again. The other is no interest rate hike, which would lead to continued upward movement. Regardless, it's best to trade spot without leverage."During an exchange at a business school in Shenzhen, Yi Lihua pointed out several opportunities in the next three years: one is mainstream BTC/ETH spot trading around four times, aiming for ten times with effort in swing trading. Another is trading infrastructure, which still presents hundredfold opportunities, as the core demand of blockchain is trading. The third is the IPOs defined by CZ, where stocks and IPOs are brought on-chain, resulting in truly high-quality assets that were once white paper tokens bidding farewell completely.

Goldman Sachs stated that the renewed rise in expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate hikes may trigger traders to unwind their hedge positions, leading to a more severe adjustment in gold prices than usual.

Goldman Sachs economist Alexandra Wilson-Elizondo stated: "Today's CPI largely meets expectations, which on the surface is the result investors hoped for, but it indeed heightens the suspense for next week's interest rate decision. The challenge is that the data does not fully reflect the recent emergence of some inflationary pressures, and there is little evidence that inflation is returning to target in the short term. The survey period for this report predates the latest round of energy price increases and also predates the surge in commodities spreading from energy to metals and agriculture. Today's inflation data does not eliminate the possibility of stronger price pressures emerging in the future.In summary, today's data that meets expectations will allow the Federal Reserve to keep the option of raising interest rates, but it will not be forced to act, so the market may focus more on Waller's communications, energy prices, labor market data, and what happens next, rather than on what was released today."

The seasonally adjusted CPI for the United States at the end of August is 334.98, expected to be 334.85, and the previous value was 333.918.

Japan-listed Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet announced the establishment of a wholly-owned subsidiary, Metaplanet Asset Management Asia Limited, as the group's trading execution and asset management hub in the Asia region, with an initial investment of 1 million USD, expected to be established in September 2026.The company will operate in coordination with Metaplanet Asset Management Inc. (MAM), which was previously established in Miami, USA, primarily responsible for trading execution and risk management operations such as position and market dynamics monitoring during the Asian trading hours, focusing on investment targets including Bitcoin, Bitcoin-related stocks, and preferred securities issued by Bitcoin treasury companies. This move is part of Metaplanet's strategy to advance the "Project Nova" Bitcoin financial platform, and the company expects this matter to have a slight impact on the consolidated performance for the period ending December 2026.

The brief calm in the U.S. stock market has also provided a breathing window for the crypto market, creating a very optimistic market atmosphere.
