Dean Curnutt, CEO of MacroRiskAdvisors, stated that the potential initiation of an interest rate hike cycle by the Federal Reserve could put pressure on the S&P 500 index, with expectations of an 8% to 10% pullback in U.S. stocks.Curnutt noted that rising energy costs and recent inflation data have pushed the yield on U.S. 10-year Treasury bonds above 5%, and the market has significantly increased its bets on the Federal Reserve raising interest rates.

On-chain data shows that 1.4175 billion WLFI tokens, matching the holdings disclosed by U.S. President Trump, were transferred into a lock-up contract via a multi-signature transaction on May 19, establishing the first clear monetization timeline for his approximately $800 million holdings. Participants in this vesting plan must immediately burn 10% of the tokens upon entry and set a two-year cliff period, followed by a linear release over three years, with the earliest sale not possible until May 2028.On-chain data indicates that a total of six internal wallets transferred tokens into this contract, with the largest wallet depositing 1.575 billion WLFI, retaining 1.4175 billion after burning, consistent with Trump's disclosed holdings; two other wallets each deposited 375 million, and three wallets each deposited 225 million. This lock-up contract is currently the largest single holder of WLFI, holding 4.61 billion tokens, nearly half of the total supply. The total supply of WLFI has been reduced from a cap of 10 billion to 9.67 billion.This vesting plan was created through a governance proposal passed around May 6, with 11,537 wallets voting in support. Founders who hold tokens can choose to convert indefinite lock-up into a two-year cliff period plus a three-year vesting period, with participation being voluntary. A spokesperson for World Liberty Financial, David Wachsman, stated that the community voted in support of the founders burning tokens, and the co-founders transferred tokens into a smart contract to complete the burn, taking on the strictest lock-up conditions among all token holders.

The U.S. House Financial Services Committee plans to review H.R. 8957, the "2026 U.S. Reserve Modernization Act," on September 16, 2026 (Wednesday), and the bill will enter the committee voting process.The bill was introduced by Congressman Nick Begich, with Jared Golden as the only Democratic co-sponsor. It aims to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve at the U.S. Department of the Treasury and create a separate digital asset reserve for non-Bitcoin assets. The bill stipulates that Bitcoin obtained through confiscation will be included in the reserves, and funds from the sale or exchange of non-Bitcoin assets can be used to purchase more Bitcoin or pay off national debt. The Treasury and Commerce Departments will also explore strategies to acquire more Bitcoin in a budget-neutral manner over the next five years, with provisions explicitly stating that funding for purchases cannot come from borrowing, new taxes, or deficit spending. The committee's review is scheduled to begin at 10:00 AM Eastern Time on Wednesday.

According to Fortune, Robinhood has recently tokenized stocks like AMC, which has led to public criticism from AMC's CEO. However, this model can reduce the cost and threshold for global investors to trade U.S. stocks. Blockchain-driven stock tokenization is reshaping the U.S. brokerage industry, and its impact may be similar to that of Napster on the music industry 25 years ago.Analysis points out that tokenized stocks still face issues such as voting rights, underlying stock custody, and whether token assets are fully backed. However, regulators have begun to promote the construction of relevant frameworks. Recently, Nasdaq also invested $100 million in blockchain financial company Payward, and the trend of stock on-chain is accelerating, making it difficult for threats or lawsuits to long-term hinder the development of this technology.

Bitfinex Alpha's latest report shows that Bitcoin has recently maintained a range of about 5.5% for over 24 trading days, with a cost basis of approximately 840,000 BTC within this range. As profit-taking has noticeably slowed, the seller risk premium has dropped to 7 basis points, one of the lowest levels in the past year, but insufficient buying pressure still limits a breakout.Meanwhile, leverage has accumulated at the upper and lower bounds of the range, with approximately $1.95 billion in short liquidation risk concentrated around $82,000, while there are large-scale long positions in the $75,000 to $76,000 range, which could amplify price volatility following the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision.Bitfinex further pointed out in the report that rising energy costs, increasing real yields, and weakening consumer confidence have made the macro environment more complex. Whether BTC can break through the current range still depends on the Federal Reserve's policy guidance and the subsequent trends in real yields and energy prices.

Bitget celebrates its 8th anniversary, and CEO Gracy has released an anniversary open letter. She candidly stated that a year ago, when Bitget proposed the panoramic exchange UEX strategy, there were many doubts from the outside world, but the team chose to respond with product implementation. She mentioned that the starting point of UEX is to solve the fragmentation of assets, accounts, time, and geography, allowing users to trade high-quality global assets in one stop. Now, more and more leading exchanges are beginning to layout traditional financial trading, and Gracy referred to 2025 to 2026 as the "Year of Multi-Asset Trading."In her letter, Gracy wrote that over the past year, Bitget has transitioned from a "follower" to a "leader in product innovation," successively launching products such as stock perpetual contracts, Pre-IPO, cross-asset unified accounts, rToken, and Hong Kong stock Quanto contracts. Data shows that the peak trading volume of non-crypto assets has accounted for 40% of the platform's total trading volume, with daily trading volumes of TradFi contracts and CFDs both exceeding $10 billion, and the cumulative number of rToken transactions surpassing 3 million.Regarding the next phase, institutional business will become the core direction of Bitget. By the second quarter of 2026, the net asset scale of Bitget's institutional clients is expected to grow by 45% compared to the third quarter of 2025, with the number of core active market makers increasing from 90 to 248. In the future, the platform will continue to optimize trading execution, asset security, and institutional service links. Gracy concluded her open letter by stating, "The pursuit of trading excellence is never complete; it is always in progress. The era of multi-asset trading has just begun."
