🚨 Record-low U.S. homebuyers isn’t about deporting immigrants.
It’s about home affordability ⚠️
Number of homebuyers just hit the lowest level ever recorded, sellers outnumber buyers by more than 50%.
The real reason buyers are being forced to walk away?
🔹️ Median home prices still near all-time highs
🔹️ 30-year mortgage rates stuck around ~6.8%+
🔹️ Price-to-income ratios at multi-decade extremes
Young buyers and first-timers are simply priced out. Rate lock-in keeps existing owners from listing.
Incentives & buydowns only go so far, even builders arent moving homes.
This is textbook a

From Crypto Wallet to Everyday Financial Hub Why Gate Card Is Changing the Spending Experience

Web3 Security: Why Forensic Documentation Beats Appeals When Accounts Get Restricted
Most frozen account appeals fail not because users are guilty—but because they lack admissible evidence. Risk controls respond to data, not emotions. Here’s my forensic protocol for documenting fund movements that turns subjective claims into objective proof when restrictions hit. 👇

Two key U.S. crypto meetings could shape the next phase of regulation
The U.S. crypto market enters an important week, with the White House and CFTC both putting digital-asset regulation in focus.
On Wednesday, August 19, the White House is expected to meet with major crypto and digital-asset industry leaders. The discussion comes at a critical moment for the CLARITY Act, which failed to receive a Senate vote before the August recess. The next major procedural vote is currently set for September 15, leaving the legislation facing a much narrower path forward.
Then on Thursday, August 20, the C

$DOGE whales are buying. But can price confirm it?
Whales reportedly accumulated 430M+ DOGE over the past week while DOGE traded near $0.07.
The monthly chart is also showing a setup similar to 2022, with an inverted hammer + TD Sequential buy signal.
But the level I’m watching is $0.0813.
A clean breakout and sustained close above it could strengthen the bullish case. Until then, whale accumulation is a signal to watch — not a guarantee of a rally.
What matters more to you: whale activity or price confirmation?

Sharing my P&L for today
Taking part in Gate’s “Stock Trading Sharing Challenge,” I’m sharing my P&L for today.
I mainly made two trades today.
The first was an NVDA long position in the morning session. NVDA had dropped quite a bit yesterday, and I thought it was somewhat oversold, so I placed a buy order before the market opened. The stock price rebounded as expected after the open, and I took profit in batches when I was up around 2%. I made a little over $800 on this trade—not a lot, but at least it was steady.
The second was an AMD short position in the afternoon. AMD had a moderately neg

【$BTC Signal】Bearish strike: 1H momentum fading
$BTC Order book buy-side imbalance 33.84%, Bid/Ask 2.02, with price ranging around 63080. The 1H MACD histogram has shortened for three consecutive bars, while momentum in the 4H MACD negative zone is weakening. The 4H Bollinger Bands have narrowed to less than 300 points. Funding rate 0.0045%, OI flat, with no new positions added. Orders are densely placed around 63050, and a short-term directional choice is imminent. The current risk/reward ratio is 1.5, with the bearish thesis having the edge.

Beyond Token Emissions: How Hybrid Yield Structures Are Redefining Exchange Liquidity Bootstrapping
Gate’s Launchpool Issue 370, offering a 1,410,000 $DOS reward pool with estimated annualized yields reaching 245.07%, represents a familiar mechanism for liquidity generation. However, the inclusion of $GUSD—offering a baseline 3.8% flexible yield backed by U.S. Treasuries with zero-fee redemption—signals a critical evolution in exchange product design. Running from August 10 to August 24, this initiative is no longer just about subsidizing token emissions; it is about br

$STRC ‌ ‌ ‌
THE PERFORMANCE GAP
A surprising divergence has emerged inside the Strategy ecosystem. Over the 12 months ending August 14, 2026, Strategy’s STRC preferred stock gained approximately 9%, while Bitcoin declined about 47% over the same period. Michael Saylor highlighted the comparison on August 16, putting the spotlight on how different layers of the same capital structure can behave very differently.
WHY STRC HELD UP
The biggest difference is income. STRC is a preferred security rather than common equity or direct Bitcoin exposure, and its current regular dividend rate is 12% annu

🚨 Pi Network ($PI ) has fallen as much as 97% from its all-time high (ATH) recorded 535 days ago.
For example, if you invested $1,000 in $PI at its ATH, that investment would now be worth only around $30.
With such a steep decline, would you choose to buy more, continue holding, or sell $PI?
