Jack McDonald, Senior Vice President of Ripple Stablecoin, stated in an interview with CoinDesk that corporate treasuries represent a significant growth opportunity for the RLUSD stablecoin, with Ripple Treasury clients processing approximately $13 trillion in transactions annually. This business is built on Ripple's acquisition of financial management software provider GTreasury for $1 billion last year, providing Ripple with a vast customer pool of around 1,200 corporate treasurers and CFOs who transfer funds across borders, between subsidiaries, and domestically.McDonald pointed out that the circulating supply of RLUSD has increased by over 50% in the past month, reaching $2.4 billion, with about $1 billion on the XRP Ledger and $1.4 billion on Ethereum. However, he emphasized that he values the token's utility and daily activity more than its market capitalization, noting that RLUSD's daily active volume has more than doubled since the beginning of the year, rising from about $200 million last month to approximately $750 million. Payments and capital markets are currently the two main application areas, and Ripple has collaborated with institutions such as Franklin Templeton and DBS in tokenized money market funds and lending.In the European market, Ripple plans to introduce RLUSD locally through a dual issuance structure compliant with the EU MiCA framework and has already obtained regulatory authorization in Luxembourg.

The U.S. House of Representatives' fundraising committee is scheduled to review a series of digital asset tax legislation on September 16, advancing the crypto tax bill toward a full House vote. This review focuses on two core issues: when miners and stakers should pay taxes on newly created tokens, and whether the wash sale rules applicable to stocks should cover digital assets.The two key bills are the "Mining and Staking Tax Clarification Act" H.R. 9175 and the "Applying Existing Tax Anti-Abuse Rules to Digital Assets Act" H.R. 9172. The former stipulates that miners and stakers do not need to pay taxes immediately upon receiving new tokens but can wait until the tokens are actually sold to pay taxes as ordinary income; the latter extends wash sale and constructive sale rules to actively traded digital assets, closing tax loopholes that crypto traders have exploited for years.

According to Reuters, Mexican authorities discovered an illegal cryptocurrency mining operation in a remote mountainous building in Tehuacán, Puebla, where 300 GPUs, 80 medium-voltage terminals, and 8 satellite antennas were found on-site. Authorities are investigating whether the operation is stealing electricity from a nearby hydroelectric power station.This is the fourth similar crypto farm discovered in the area since early last year, with three others found near a hydroelectric power station in northern Puebla last year. Local residents reported that the noise from the equipment can be heard from a kilometer away. Mexican security analyst David Saucedo stated that drug trafficking groups seem to have reached a new level of sophistication, as establishing such operations requires technical expertise and support from well-funded groups.Chainalysis Latin America expert Caio Motta pointed out that such operations are usually located in areas with extremely low electricity prices or within the reach of organized crime to steal electricity and establish large-scale mining infrastructure.

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.
