Jiang Zhuoer, the founder of the Liebit Mining Pool (B.TOP), stated that BTC has fallen as expected, with $76,500 being a key support level (the lower bound of the ascending channel, as well as the Fibonacci 23.6% retracement from the rise of about $57,000 to $82,000). If it falls below $76,500, the decline may accelerate, and the next focus will be whether the previous low of $75,500 can hold.He previously mentioned two possible scenarios: a) a rebound before reaching $75,000, which would make it more likely to rise back to $80,000, or even up to the high resistance area of $83,000 to $84,000, before starting a major correction; b) if it effectively breaks below $75,000, it will trigger a correction corresponding to the original rise from $64,000, expected to reach $70,000 to $72,000, before entering the next phase of a bull market. Jiang Zhuoer believes that the voting on the "Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act" (i.e., the CLARITY Act) next week and news from the Federal Reserve may become key catalysts, thus maintaining a neutral position of full BTC short positions + full ETH spot positions.

Bitfinex Alpha report shows that Bitcoin has been consolidating in the range of $77,100 to $81,300 over the past 20 trading days, with the current price close to the key support level at the lower end of the range. If it breaks above $81,300, the volume vacuum above may drive the price quickly up to $86,500. The options market has shifted protection to contracts expiring on September 18 ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision.The report also points out that while Bitcoin's volatility has decreased, altcoins are performing actively, with all 29 major cryptocurrencies rising last week, Polkadot up 43%, and Zcash up 42%. The open interest in altcoin perpetual contracts has surpassed Bitcoin for the first time this week, a situation that historically often accompanies market correction risks.

The CEO of Bitcoin Reserve Company Metaplanet, Simon Gerovich, posted on the X platform in response to the controversy surrounding the company's equity incentive plan and MMXX Ventures. Gerovich admitted that the company "failed to adequately explain" the incentive arrangement known as "Series 10 Stock Options" and stated that he is a "significant but non-controlling shareholder" of MMXX's parent company, not involved in its trading decisions.The controversy stems from a stock rights plan established in December 2022, with a reward pool set at 20% of Metaplanet's fully diluted equity. After shifting to a Bitcoin reserve strategy in April 2024, the company dilutes existing shareholders with each new share issuance, while Gerovich's option rights increase accordingly. On August 18, the board canceled the floating adjustment mechanism, fixing the Series 10 pool at 319 million shares and setting a five-year lock-up period, but did not restore the reward pool to the level it was at when the Bitcoin strategy was initiated. On August 28, Gerovich exercised 92,000 Series 10 options, acquiring 64 million new shares, and currently holds about 6.2% of the company; he and MMXX together hold over 27% of the fully diluted equity.Shareholders expressed dissatisfaction. A shareholder using the pseudonym The Bitcoin Pharaoh stated on X that the adjustments in August were "a step in the right direction," but demanded that Gerovich address the issues that have arisen, disclose the owners of MMXX, and restore the reward pool to the level it was at when the Bitcoin strategy was initiated.

According to Decrypt, Michael Gubbins, the head of the Criminal Assets Bureau in Ireland, revealed to the Sunday Independent that organized crime gangs are renting private vaults to store cryptocurrency wallet private keys and mnemonic phrases along with cash, luxury watches, passports, and other valuables. This situation has been reported to the government's Anti-Money Laundering Steering Committee, which is preparing to implement new EU anti-money laundering rules in Ireland.The new EU regulations will take effect next summer, prohibiting cash transactions over 10,000 euros and requiring businesses to identify individuals for cash expenditures of 3,000 euros and above. Gubbins stated that crime gangs believe cryptocurrency offers anonymity, but the use of cryptocurrency in Ireland is still quite primitive, with cash remaining the primary form of payment for criminal activities such as drug trafficking.The bureau is handling its largest cryptocurrency seizure in history, involving 6,000 bitcoins confiscated from a cannabis grower in 2019, with the private keys written on paper and hidden in a tackle box, which was later lost. With the assistance of Europol, the bureau has cracked the first of 12 wallets in March, with over 130 million euros already liquidated from assets totaling 360 million euros.

Blockchain security company Hacken released an assessment report indicating that approximately half of the circulating USDT (about $91.3 billion on the Tron network) is controlled by a 2-of-3 multi-signature contract, which lacks built-in delays, cancellation processes, or reliable revocation mechanisms. Attackers only need to compromise two signature keys to change contract ownership, mint tokens, freeze addresses, clear frozen balances, or set transfer fees without accessing any user wallets. Hacken also discovered that Tether reuses the same set of six signature keys across three chains: Ethereum, Avalanche, and Celo, posing a risk of cross-chain spread.Meanwhile, stablecoin rating agency Bluechip upgraded Tether's company rating from D to C, citing that KPMG's audit showed Tether's reserves exceeded liabilities by $6.8 billion as of December 31, 2025. This is the first time Bluechip has adopted the expanded SMIDGE methodology, which incorporates Hacken's technical risk analysis. However, Hacken only gave USDT a cybersecurity score of 3.3 out of 10 and pointed out that the USDT smart contract does not have automatic reserve proof checks or a token minting cap. Once signers authorize a transaction, the contract can mint an unlimited number of tokens without a bank reserve proof.Hacken stated that it has not yet completed an equivalent assessment of Circle's USDC, and Bluechip's previous B+ rating for USDC was based on an old methodology, which cannot be directly used for technical comparison.

According to CoinDesk, Glassnode data shows that Bitcoin wallet groups have collectively turned to net selling for the first time since early June. Bitcoin fell below $80,000 after being blocked at the key resistance level of $83,000. The current Glassnode accumulation trend score is 0.37, close to 0, indicating selling, led by whales holding over 1,000 BTC.In the previous three months, almost all groups were actively accumulating, with Bitcoin trading sideways around $60,000. Bitcoin is also facing resistance at approximately $79,687, the 50-week moving average. However, the 50-day moving average may cross above the 200-day moving average as early as Tuesday, forming a golden cross, providing an optimistic signal for bulls, which means Bitcoin may eventually break through the resistance zone.

According to Catcher Predict monitoring, the predicted market on Polymarket for the event "LoL: Vivo Keyd Stars vs. paiN Gaming - CBLOL Playoffs" has seen a dramatic fluctuation in the "Yes" option win rate for the sub-market "Both teams kill a dragon," rising from 51.6% an hour ago to the current 90% (a fluctuation of 38.4%). Please note the impact of related breaking news.

BTC OG insider whale agent Garrett Jin released a market outlook indicating that the macro environment has clearly tightened this week, with Brent crude oil approaching $95, and the yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury bond breaking through 4.8%. The market's expectation of a rate hike by the Federal Reserve in September has risen to about 70%. Bitcoin has slightly retraced under this pressure but successfully held the key support level of $76,600, then rebounded to the high range of $77,000.On-chain cost basis data shows that a significant amount of new supply has formed in the $75,000 to $80,000 range, providing strong support for the market; the $80,000 to $82,500 range is currently the largest concentration of resistance. A daily close above $82,500 and a successful retest confirmation will be a key signal for supply clearance. In terms of ETF liquidity, there was a net inflow of about $3.5 billion into U.S. spot ETFs in August, but a two-way flow has appeared at the start of September, with a net outflow of about $237 million on Tuesday, and retail activity has also cooled down.Regarding downside risks, if the daily close falls below $76,600, and ETF flows, Coinbase premiums, and 7-day net realized profits all weaken simultaneously, it will be seen as a clear warning signal. This Friday's non-farm payroll data will be the next important macro testing point; if the data is hot, it will strengthen rate hike expectations, and the $76,600 support may come under pressure again.

According to Bitcoin.com, Fidelity Digital Assets has released an analysis report indicating that future quantum computers may derive Bitcoin private keys from exposed public keys, threatening asset security. Existing Bitcoin transactions rely on elliptic curve digital signature algorithms or Schnorr signatures, and sufficiently powerful quantum computers running Shor's algorithm could break this cryptographic assumption.The report evaluates the SHRINCS post-quantum signature scheme as a potential upgrade path—providing a compact 48-byte public key, with state signature sizes ranging from 548 to 4,619 bytes, and a 5,777-byte stateless fallback path to address state loss. However, quantum-resistant signatures will significantly increase transaction data size, consume more block space, reduce network throughput, and drive up transaction fees during congestion. Implementing such upgrades will require new consensus rules (possibly through a soft fork) and broad support from wallets, miners, exchanges, and custodians. In July of this year, Fidelity co-funded a $15 million Bitcoin security program with eight other institutions, covering anti-quantum research.

According to DIGITIMES, at the Semicon Network Summit 2026, industry representatives pointed out that the bottleneck in the silicon photonics industry has shifted from materials to packaging precision and heterogeneous integration. Marvell's CTO stated that copper interconnects are nearing their physical limits, and end-to-end optical interconnects are inevitable.TNO/Holst Centre pointed out that the real challenge for CPO is integrating optical materials such as LiNbO3 and InP with the CMOS platform. TSIA indicated that the packaging stage now requires micron-level fiber alignment precision, and Taiwan has a globally leading advantage in the chip and packaging fields. TNO further noted that panel-level packaging is a key opportunity for Taiwan, leveraging large-size glass substrate processing experience to support the large-scale demand for optical interconnects in data centers, but there are still technical gaps in equipment such as Chip-to-Wafer bonding. Marvell stated that its reliance on the Taiwanese supply chain for silicon photonic chips is increasing.

According to Cointelegraph, Hashkey has joined the Digital Asset Advisory Working Group of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), becoming the first Asian digital asset service provider to join this working group.DTCC is a core post-trade infrastructure provider for global financial markets, and this working group brings together over 100 global financial institutions and asset management companies, including JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Nasdaq, and the New York Stock Exchange, to jointly define the issuance, settlement, and custody standards for institutional-grade tokenized assets.DTCC plans to launch tokenized securities services in October. Previously, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a no-action letter to a DTCC subsidiary in December, allowing it to provide tokenization services for the securities market.SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated that the approval of this pilot is just the beginning, and the SEC will consider innovation exemptions to help builders promote the on-chain transformation of the market without bearing cumbersome regulatory requirements. Atkins first proposed the idea of tokenization innovation exemptions at the DeFi roundtable on June 9.

On September 2, B.AI announced that its Responses API is now integrated with the DeepSeek series of models. Developers can use the B.AI API Key to call the DeepSeek series of models supported by the B.AI platform in the Codex client.Previously, B.AI had supported calling the GPT series of models through Codex. After configuring the API Key and Base URL, developers can switch between DeepSeek and GPT for scenarios such as code generation, understanding, debugging, refactoring, and development collaboration.

On September 1, Anthropic released Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1, marking the first update to this model series since the launch of Fable 5 on June 9. Anthropic claims that the new models are the most advanced for programming and knowledge work. In the Terminal-Bench-Science 0.1 benchmark, Fable 5.1 recorded a pass rate of 52.6%, more than doubling Fable 5's 24.7% and surpassing Opus 5's 29%; in Terminal-Bench 4, Fable 5.1 scored 55.8%, higher than Fable 5's 42% and Opus 5's 52.3%.Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 share the same underlying model, differing only in their safety filters. Fable 5.1 is available to all Claude accounts, while Mythos 5.1 remains restricted to professionals vetted through Anthropic's network security verification program and life sciences verification program. In terms of pricing, Fable 5.1 charges $10 per million tokens for input and $50 for output, which is double that of Opus 5. Cache read costs have decreased by 75%, and typical workload costs can drop by about 25%, with high agentic workloads decreasing by up to 45%.

Predict.fun posted on platform X that it has launched the Predict Developer Dashboard, a self-service portal for creating applications, generating keys, and managing usage and rate limits. Through this interface, users can manually request higher usage-based tiers and import existing keys.Predict.fun has also implemented "trade burst" limits to restrict the number of calls for creating and canceling orders per second. New applications have this limit enabled by default, while existing applications will have this limit applied the next time the user requests rate limits.

Bitget CFD Chief Analyst Lewis Huang stated that the hawkish remarks made by Powell at the Jackson Hole global central bank conference have shifted the market's focus from whether there will be a rate hike in September to the possibility that the Federal Reserve may maintain high interest rates for a longer period before inflation clearly falls back to the 2% target, and even retain the option for further tightening of policies.Lewis Huang pointed out that if subsequent CPI, PCE, and employment data continue to be strong, the U.S. 2-year Treasury yield and the dollar index may remain strong, putting continued pressure on gold from the dual forces of rising real interest rates and a strengthening dollar, which may also amplify the volatility of high-valuation tech stocks like the Nasdaq 100.Conversely, if inflation significantly cools and the labor market weakens, the market may lower its rate hike expectations, leading to a decline in the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields, providing support for gold and growth stocks.He added that besides the Federal Reserve's policy statements, traders should also pay attention to whether the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield is influenced by factors such as fiscal deficits, Treasury supply, and rising term premiums.Before and after the release of major data, it is recommended to moderately control leverage and assess market direction based on the interrelationship between the dollar, U.S. Treasury yields, gold, and stock indices.

According to SlowMist's YuXian monitoring, a certain hacker address is involved in a mass theft incident, affecting over 100 addresses and dozens of real users, due to private key leakage, with hackers profiting approximately $200,000.This gang is an old gang, and the stolen users can try to identify commonalities.

On-chain analyst Willy Woo stated that currently about 4% of the global population holds S&P 500 assets, 4.5% hold gold, and 5% hold Bitcoin (BTC), and suggested that the future penetration rate of Bitcoin will determine its role attributes.He indicated that at a holder population percentage of about 5%, BTC is still primarily viewed as a financial asset; if this ratio rises to about 50%, it could signify the emergence of a pattern of "separation of money and state."
