PANews reported on September 1 that Machi Big Brother (singer Jeffrey Huang) posted that he had attempted a new experiment yesterday: “launching a token while personally holding none.” He did not disclose the token’s utility or plans, merely stating that he does not hold any of it.

U.S., European and Japanese bond yields rose in tandem, pushing gold and silver prices lower. Spot gold fell to around $4,370 per ounce, down more than 3.5% cumulatively over three days; spot silver fell to around $64.5 per ounce. The U.S. 10-year yield broke above 4.75%, Germany’s 10-year yield reached 3.34%, and Japan’s 10-year yield exceeded 3% for the first time, raising risk-free yields and weakening gold’s appeal. Although the U.S.-Iran conflict has pushed up oil prices, the market is more focused on the risk of rebounding inflation and central banks continuing to raise interest rates. Gold prices may remain under pressure in the short term, with future trends depending on employment data and rate-hike expectations.

On August 19, FalconX announced the establishment of a $1 billion secured lending facility with Ethena through an SPV, investing USDe reserve assets in overcollateralized institutional credit; FalconX will serve as the originator, servicer, and collateral manager, with the collateral held in custody by a qualified third party.
I. Conclusion
First, this transaction upgrades USDe’s yield sources from a single funding-rate carry to a four-part portfolio: staking yield, funding rates, Treasury-like assets, and institutionally secured credit. The $1 billion revolving senior secured facility opens up the leg with the greatest capacity— institutional lending had previously accounted for 6.9% of USDe reserves (approximately $310 million), and if the facility is fully utilized, it would correspond to approximately $4

PANews, September 1 — According to GMGN market data, the ecosystem token AI (Artificial Inu) on Robinhood Chain has surpassed a market capitalization of $200 million, with its 24-hour gain exceeding 100%.

PANews, September 1 — According to Bloomberg, global investment-grade corporate credit appears to have extremely low volatility, but approximately $1 trillion of non-financial high-rated bonds are trading at spreads significantly above their rating ranges, including about $580 billion in the U.S. and nearly $400 billion in Europe, all with maturities of more than three years. Overall spreads on high-rated indexes are still hovering near their lowest levels in nearly 25 years, but significant “misalignments” have emerged among individual constituents: spreads on some single-A bonds have surpassed the BBB curve, and some investment-grade bonds are even trading at spreads wider than those of certain junk bonds. Analysts said that AI “hyperscalers” boosting leverage through bond issuance and increasing their weight in indexes, European and U.S. automakers facing competitive pressure from China, software companies confronting AI threats, and insurers being penalized for exposure to private credit assets are jointly driving this round of structural spread widening, creating “mispricing” trading opportunities for active managers.

PANews, September 1 — According to Decrypt, the UK National Crime Agency (NCA) froze approximately $13.6 million (about £10 million) under the Proceeds of Crime Act. The funds were the first payment under Sorare’s four-year sponsorship contract with the Premier League, worth approximately $163 million in total, and were held in the Premier League’s Barclays bank account. The NCA said the move was intended to prevent the funds from being transferred while it investigates their links to alleged criminal activity by third parties. Sorare is also being prosecuted by the UK Gambling Commission on three charges of operating an unlicensed gambling business, marking the agency’s first prosecution of a blockchain platform. The trial is scheduled for June 2027. The Premier League is not currently suspected of any wrongdoing.

Bitcoin analyst Willy Woo responded to doubts, saying that if gold continues to serve as the global monetary anchor, its theoretical value should be approximately $103 trillion, compared with its current market capitalization of about $32 trillion. He pointed out that viewing gold as a financial asset is an illusion jointly shaped by the U.S. government and Wall Street, while gold was essentially money by nature. He believes Bitcoin is striving to become global hard money, and under this logic its price could reach approximately $5 million per coin. He also said the fiat currency system has operated for only about 55 years, making it look more like an experiment compared with the thousands-year history of hard money.

Several claims circulating online about Unitree Robotics—that reimbursements of more than 100 yuan per transaction require the chairman’s approval and that management is extremely strict—are untrue in multiple respects and should not be taken seriously. Reports say Wang Xingxing personally oversees product-level details, requires confidentiality, remains focused on R&D, places extreme emphasis on cost control, and has long participated in frontline R&D. Public information shows that the company was founded in 2016; as of September 1, its share price was 571 yuan per share, with a total market capitalization of approximately 231 billion yuan.

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi responded to long-term interest rates surpassing 3% for the first time in 30 years, stressing that economic and fiscal management should be based on a comprehensive assessment and that the direction of interest rates should be judged at the appropriate time; she declined to comment specifically on the interest rate outlook to avoid affecting the market. She said interest rates are determined by multiple factors, including market conditions and the policies of various countries, and stressed the need to balance a strong economy and fiscal sustainability through necessary fiscal demand. She also said budget reforms would proceed in line with the July Basic Policy, arguing that recurring expenditures should not rely on large-scale new budgets but should instead be included in the initial budget.

eToro global market strategist Lale Akoner said UK borrowing costs have risen to multi-year highs, increasing pressure on public finances. Inflation concerns and budget uncertainty have pushed up gilt yields, while sovereign bond yields have broadly risen worldwide. The UK 30-year gilt yield briefly reached 5.904%, and the 10-year yield hit 5.255%, both near multi-year highs. She said that although rising yields boost income, they will put pressure on mortgages, interest-rate-sensitive stocks, and public finances.

The Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration announced that, starting September 1, 2026, dividends and bonuses paid by foreign-invested enterprises to foreign individuals shall be subject to a 20% individual income tax under “interest, dividends and bonus income,” with taxes withheld and remitted and declared by the 15th of the following month; if tax is not withheld, the foreign individual shall pay it independently by June 30 of the following year, and the relevant old regulations shall be repealed effective 1994.

PANews reported on September 1 that, according to Lookonchain, an investor spent 181 ETH (approximately $443k) about a month ago to buy 7.99 million PONS. After the price fell, the investor sold all the PONS, receiving only 135k USDG and incurring a loss of approximately $308k. As the price of PONS subsequently surged, the 7.99 million tokens sold earlier are now worth approximately $3.46 million. Had the investor continued holding them, they could have gained more than $3 million in unrealized profits.

Over the past week, we studied the Hyperliquid trading leaderboard to answer one question: among accounts that actually made profits, which trading strategy appeared most frequently?
The answer is by no means as simple as “buying high-quality coins early.” Among the 12 top accounts we selected, the dominant pattern was instead a comprehensive trading system: 8 accounts were high-turnover, two-sided execution traders; 3 were active day traders / scalpers; and only 1 was a one-sided, heavily concentrated trend trader.
The signals that are truly worth referencing come from the addresses’ complete behavioral characteristics in the market: trading pace, the balance between long and short buying and selling, turnover rate, position concentration, asset selection, and the level of returns that can be generated per unit of risk.
