The wCBDC will be used to address this limitation. In addition, the wCBDC is also planned to be used for the settlement of over-the-counter derivatives trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX), with the goal of implementing related real fund transactions within this year.

Famous analyst Willy Woo uses the Fisher Transform indicator to analyze BTC monthly charts, pointing out that the current golden cross appearing under this indicator is the fourth bottom signal in history, with the previous three not showing false breakouts. However, Willy Woo emphasizes that this is not an immediate reversal buy signal; the price may first consolidate before continuing in the original direction. In bull markets, there have also been instances where the Fisher indicator showed a death cross indicating bearishness, followed by a golden cross indicating bullishness, yet the market did not end.Willy Woo views tops and bottoms separately: at the top, long-term investors retreat from buying, while speculative trading continues to push prices higher. The market relies on momentum to continue rising but lacks substantial long-term support, leading to frequent false turning points. Therefore, his approach is to reduce positions in batches rather than predict an exact major top. At the bottom, the decline creates a vacuum in buying, and speculative trading exits. When prices drop to levels that investors consider valuable, buying re-enters, and at this point, speculative trading is scarce, making reversals cleaner. Thus, many indicators are clearer at the bottom than at the top.

Polymarket announced the hiring of former Zora CEO Jacob Horne to lead product efforts, focusing on its DeFi business. Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan acknowledged that as the company scales, the performance of its on-chain products has "declined," with some long-term users believing that Polymarket has shifted its focus to the U.S. market. Coplan stated that the company is working to unify its products but did not disclose a specific launch timeline, nor did he mention adjustments regarding fees, liquidity, or routing.Polymarket plans to hold a DeFi community meeting "soon" to gather feedback and announce a roadmap; in the meantime, users can provide feedback directly to Horne or Coplan. This appointment gives Horne broad product responsibilities rather than a specific engineering role. An earlier diagnosis came from Polymarket DeFi Engineering Vice President Josh Stevens, who noted on August 31 that the existing Central Limit Order Book (CLOB) is "full of technical debt." Although the team has scaled it tenfold and increased speed threefold, the underlying architecture still has flaws, and fixing one issue may trigger another.Stevens stated that the existing codebase is "unsalvageable in the long run," and the matching engine is being rewritten from scratch in Rust, with the goal of completing it in the latter half of the fourth quarter. Early benchmarks show that the new system's p99 latency is 10 to 20 times faster than the current system, capable of processing 200,000 orders per second, approximately 15 times the existing capacity.
