The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has previously secretly approved at least three insider trading investigations related to Polymarket trading, involving contracts related to Biden's pardons, the Iran war, and Google-related events. The relevant investigation documents were obtained by WIRED through the Freedom of Information Act.Among them, CFTC Chairman Michael Selig approved an investigation into contracts related to Biden's pardons in May, after a trader had profited over $300,000 in the relevant market; in the same month, the CFTC also approved an investigation into Iran war contracts, after a group of suspicious accounts was reported to have profited $2.4 million with a win rate of about 98%. In July, the CFTC further initiated an investigation into Google-related Polymarket contracts, focusing on individuals who may have traded using non-public information regarding Google's 2025 search rankings. The Southern District Attorney's Office in New York is also conducting a parallel investigation.It is currently unclear whether the aforementioned accounts are connected to previously investigated individuals. Polymarket stated that the company would refer the relevant matters to law enforcement and cooperate with the investigation. As the prediction market rapidly expands, U.S. regulators are clearly intensifying their scrutiny of insider trading and market manipulation.

Cardone Capital purchased 20 bitcoins at $76,500 each and incorporated them into a mixed asset portfolio of real estate and bitcoin.

David Sacks, the chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, stated that Anthropic's initial public offering must be paused until the allegations against the "whistleblower" are investigated.The "whistleblower" refers to Jacob Cox, a former researcher at Anthropic. He previously conducted pre-training research at OpenAI and joined Anthropic in July 2026, but resigned in September after only about 4 months, publicly warning on X that many people inside leading AI companies genuinely believe that this technology could lead to human extinction within a decade. Both companies are irresponsibly racing towards self-improving superintelligence, essentially gambling with the lives of all humanity.When he left, his equity had not yet vested, as companies typically require 6 months for vesting to begin, thus he forfeited potential substantial stock gains. This occurred at a time when Anthropic had secretly submitted its IPO application, with a valuation approaching one trillion dollars.

According to Fortune magazine, Ethereum software company Consensys announced that it will spin off its flagship wallet MetaMask into an independent entity, with founder Joe Lubin serving as CEO. The original Consensys will be renamed to focus on institutional protocols and Ethereum software, led by longtime executive Mike Kriak. Lubin stated that the spin-off is due to the consumer business value accumulation of MetaMask far exceeding that of other business units.MetaMask has expanded from an Ethereum wallet to a platform similar to a new crypto bank, launching a "main account" feature that supports multiple assets and Mastercard debit card spending, and has diversified revenue sources such as perpetual contracts and prediction markets.Lubin did not disclose an IPO timeline, but analysts believe that MetaMask may seek to go public as early as early 2027, while also noting that the willingness to issue tokens has decreased under the current regulatory environment.

Former Silvergate Bank CEO Alan Lane stated in a Substack post that the political and regulatory pressures from the Biden administration led to the bank's voluntary liquidation in 2023. He mentioned that Silvergate could continue operating after meeting withdrawals equivalent to 70% of demand deposits in the fourth quarter of 2022, and the decision to liquidate was made "in the face of political pressure." The Federal Reserve's Office of Inspector General's review in September 2023 concluded that the liquidation stemmed from reliance on crypto depositors, funding risks, and governance and compliance deficiencies. The SEC had previously charged Silvergate, Lane, and former Chief Risk Officer Kathleen Fraher with misleading investors regarding their anti-money laundering program, with Lane settling for a $1 million fine and a five-year executive ban, while the Federal Reserve imposed a $43 million fine on Silvergate. Lane also cited a statement on crypto risks released by multiple agencies at the beginning of 2023 as evidence of industry pressure, which was later withdrawn in April 2025.

According to BIT analysis, the comprehensive "institutional" capital inflow indicator shows that the cryptocurrency market has accumulated approximately 6.7 billion USD in inflows over the past 30 days. This indicator includes MicroStrategy purchases, Bitcoin ETF fund flows, and stablecoin issuance.In contrast, June recorded a net outflow of about 13 billion USD, indicating a significant reversal in capital flow. BIT states that the current trend of capital inflow is improving, providing support for market momentum, but to drive a larger increase in Bitcoin, further acceleration of capital inflows is still needed.

Scroll Governance Forum posted that the team will recently apply AI extensively in operations and product development. Previously, core chain operations required over 20 engineers, but now it is completed by fewer dedicated engineers in conjunction with AI agents, while maintaining existing usability and security standards. The team believes that blockchain can provide a trusted coordination layer to define and execute rules, and ZK can help agents interact with credentials, private data, and computations without exposing underlying information.The team is building an interconnected product stack: Compass is an iOS application that can access the large models and functions provided by the Compass API, and includes VPN and eSIM; Compass API is the AI routing infrastructure, connecting over 30 large models; CENO provides a trust layer through ZK, protecting credentials, agent context, and privacy computations; USX is used for payments and settlements; SCR continues to coordinate governance; the Scroll network serves as a trust and coordination layer. CENO has reached out to over 30 potential clients, of which 12 are participating in proof of concept testing.The team plans to gradually transform Scroll from a general public chain into a dedicated network centered around Compass and the AI product stack, with an overall transition expected to take about nine months. According to the current plan, SCR will migrate to the Ethereum mainnet to maintain accessibility and liquidity, with supply and token economics remaining unchanged, and will continue to serve as a governance token. This post is only a progress update, not an official proposal or vote, and further proposals regarding the network transformation and matters requiring DAO approval will be made separately.

Market news says that Samsung will integrate Mistral AI into its semiconductor business.

Wintermute released a market update indicating that the non-farm payroll data for August exceeded expectations, pushing the interest rate hike probability to nearly 60%. Bitcoin briefly retreated from $82,400 but still closed the week up 3.45%, standing above $80,000. Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net inflow of $987 million, marking three consecutive weeks of positive inflows, totaling nearly $3.8 billion. This indicates that the crypto market has withstood the test of hawkish data.Bitcoin has fallen about 50% from its peak, which is significantly less than the over 75% declines seen in the same periods of 2018 and 2022, reflecting earlier involvement from ETFs and institutional funds. Wintermute believes that capital is flowing from stocks and gold into crypto assets, forming the premise for a new cycle. $82,000 is a key level that needs to be broken, while $72,000 is the point to judge a trend change. The voting on the CLARITY Act, along with the CPI and FOMC meetings, are all scheduled for next week. The end of the Robinhood Chain Gas subsidy at the end of September will be the first test of the sustainability of activity. If Bitcoin falls below $72,000 and ETF outflows turn significantly negative, a reassessment will be necessary.

According to monitoring by lookonchain, trader 0xbebb spent 4400 USDC to buy 18.6 million 4Stock in just 2 hours. The current value of the tokens held is approximately 780,000 USD, with a return rate of 177 times, making them the largest holder of this token.

According to Onchain Lens monitoring, a certain whale deposited 620,420 LINK (approximately 7.6 million USD) into Coinbase.In the past three weeks, this whale has cumulatively deposited 2,410,000 LINK (approximately 26.04 million USD) into Coinbase, all of which previously came from Binance.

According to on-chain monitoring data from Galaxy Research, from August 29 to September 4, four long-dormant Bitcoin wallets were activated, transferring a total of 202.84 BTC, worth approximately 15.73 million USD.Among them, the largest wallet held 146.06 BTC (approximately 11.31 million USD), which had not been touched since November 2013, holding for nearly 12.8 years, with an unrealized profit of about 12,902% based on a cost price of approximately 595 USD. A wallet that has been dormant since November 2011, holding 40 BTC, is valued at approximately 3.09 million USD, with an average cost of about 3 USD, resulting in an unrealized profit of up to 2,571,899%, allowing the holder to earn over 3 million USD from an initial investment of about 120 USD over nearly 15 years. Additionally, two other wallets transferred 10 BTC (approximately 777,000 USD) and 6.78 BTC (approximately 551,000 USD), respectively.Galaxy marked the transfer of 6.78 BTC as being received by Coinbase, a signal that typically indicates the holder intends to sell rather than simply transfer assets. Some of the activated wallets were tagged with the sender label "Noah Doe," related to New York State's lawsuit declaring thousands of dormant addresses as unclaimed property. Since a judge suspended the proceedings in June, the relevant wallets have shown multiple movements. This wave of awakenings continues the trend observed since this summer, with six wallets previously transferring approximately 40 million USD within ten days in August.

According to on-chain analysts' monitoring, the Ethena project's associated address, after being dormant for 2 years, is suspected to have liquidated its holdings. 14 million ENA (worth 6.89 million dollars at the time of receipt, with a coin price of 0.4928 dollars) was fully deposited into Bybit 6 hours ago, leaving only 2.41 million dollars, a decrease of 4.48 million dollars compared to the time of receipt, and a decline of over 8.735 million dollars from its peak.

Uniswap founder Hayden posted on the X platform, stating that correlated trading pairs are forming. The top five tokenized SPY trading pairs by trading volume serve as "bridge" trading pairs connecting other common underlying trading pairs, primarily linking to tokenized stocks with higher correlations. This type of market is characterized by globalization, programmability, low costs, and 24/7 operation.Hayden stated that he has been working on the forefront of DeFi for 9 years and believes that AMM has enormous potential. After years of evolution and development, the path for AMM to achieve global dominance is becoming increasingly clear. Tokenization has changed the existence of markets, market makers, and the objects of market trading. Since its launch, Uniswap has been operating autonomously, with a cumulative trading volume exceeding $4.6 trillion, and has increased the share of spot trading volume on decentralized exchanges from less than 1% to over 20%.As AMMs like Uniswap continue to evolve, their liquidity has formed a pattern that most financial markets have yet to notice: correlated trading pairs. AMMs have found a product-market fit in long-tail markets, as most assets previously could not attract the attention of professional market makers. DeFi and AMM have lowered the barriers to market making, opening the market to more participants. Liquidity will concentrate in the places with the lowest risk, rather than being forced to remain in places constrained by traditional infrastructure.

User Wordgrammer stated that the internet has collapsed due to social and video being 100% sandboxable, with consumer preferences leaning towards usage while intoxicated, in bed, on the toilet, or when 99% of their brain is occupied. They believe that the current AI discussion is similar to the misjudgment in 1995 that "everyone will have a website," as not everyone will create personal software or mobile applications.Wordgrammer indicated that everyone will use agents, but less than 1% will use coding agents, just as everyone has a social homepage but less than 1% have a personal website. Consumer-grade and enterprise agents must have a 0% failure rate foolproof sandbox, where accidental purchases, messaging, or information leaks cannot occur. Better models are insufficient to achieve this and require a rethinking of abstraction.
