SEPTEMBER RATE HIKE? $BTC STILL HAS ONE BIG MACRO HURDLE TO CLEAR
The market is becoming increasingly focused on what the Fed could do in September, but I think there’s an important distinction being missed.
Waller’s latest comments don’t guarantee a rate cut.
His message is much more conditional:
If inflation continues to cool, he would lean toward keeping rates where they are.
But if August inflation accelerates again, a rate hike could still be on the table.
That difference matters for Bitcoin.
Yes, the possibility of no additional tightening is positive compared with a scenario where rates

$BTC INSTITUTIONAL DEMAND IS BACK ON THE RADAR
Bitcoin just received another major vote of confidence from ETF investors.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs reportedly recorded around $730.87M in inflows, making it the third-largest Bitcoin ETF inflow of 2026.
That is not a number I would ignore.
For weeks, the market has been dealing with volatility, shifting macro expectations, liquidations, and uncertainty around risk appetite. During periods like that, capital tends to become more selective.
Now we're seeing a different signal.
Hundreds of millions of dollars are flowing into Bitcoin through ETFs, suggesti

$BTC ETF FLOWS JUST FLIPPED POSITIVE BUT THE DETAILS MATTER.
The latest ETF data is showing an interesting shift in crypto capital allocation.
Bitcoin ETFs recorded approximately $101.15M in net inflows, despite previously seeing around $236.5M in outflows.
That suggests buyers are starting to step back in after the recent selling pressure.
But the story isn't the same across the market.
Ethereum ETFs recorded around $48.08M in outflows, ending their previous inflow streak.
XRP ETFs also saw approximately $7.2M in outflows, bringing an end to their prior positive streak.

Before I Provide Liquidity on STONfi, I Look Beyond APR
I used to think a high APR was enough reason to consider a liquidity pool.
Now I see it differently.
APR can get my attention, but it doesn’t tell me whether the pool actually makes sense for the risk I’m taking.
Before providing liquidity on STONfi, I like to look at the bigger picture.
1. Liquidity
How much capital is already in the pool?
TVL helps me understand the size of the pool and the amount of liquidity available. It’s not proof that a pool is safe, but it gives useful context.
2. Trading activity
How much volume is the pool actu

$BTC MONDAY COULD DECIDE WHETHER THE BOUNCE WAS REAL
Bitcoin's weekend recovery hasn't convinced me yet.
After the sharp Friday sell-off, BTC managed to recover toward $79K–$79.5K, but the problem is that the rebound is running directly into resistance.
This is where the market needs to prove itself.
A weak bounce into resistance is very different from a genuine trend reversal.
If buyers are truly back, Bitcoin should eventually absorb the selling around $79K and establish that area as support.
If it keeps getting rejected, the weekend recovery may simply have been a relief bounce created by

Farming Pool of the Week: STON/USDT
The APR is not the strategy.
A high APR can make a DeFi pool look very attractive at first glance.
But the longer I spend looking at liquidity pools, the more I realize that APR should be the starting point of the research, not the conclusion.
Take the STON/USDT pool on STONfi.
The numbers shown are interesting:
• $722.68K TVL
• $4.41K 24h volume
• 0.45% pool APR
• 26.55% boosted APR
That 26.55% boosted APR is obviously the number most people will notice.
But before putting capital in, I’d want to understand what is actually driving that extra yield.

DeFi doesn’t always need to feel complicated.
That’s one reason I find the approach behind STONfi interesting.
Underneath, there’s a lot happening: liquidity pools, swaps, smart contracts, pricing, and on-chain transactions. But from a user’s perspective, the experience can be much simpler.
You choose what you want to swap, review the details, and confirm.
That simplicity matters.
STONfi is built around the TON ecosystem, giving users a straightforward way to interact with decentralized markets and supported assets.
Liquidity is another important part of the picture.

🔥 $NVDA EARNINGS: THE NUMBERS AREN’T THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS
NVIDIA’s fiscal Q2 2027 earnings are here, and this report could become one of the most important catalysts for the entire AI sector.
The market already expects a lot from NVIDIA.
Consensus is centered around roughly $92B revenue, $85.4B Data Center revenue, $2.09 adjusted EPS and ~75% gross margin.
At this valuation, simply beating estimates may not be enough.
The real question is:
Can NVIDIA deliver results strong enough to justify the expectations already priced into $NVDA?

Nvidia delivered another powerful earnings report, with quarterly revenue up 106% YoY.

Because when expectations are this high, strong earnings alone are not enough.
Price needs to confirm the strength.

SPCX Technical Analysis: The Unlock Is Over What Comes Next?
$SPCX just delivered a strong reaction after the latest unlock, pushing back toward the $128–$130 resistance zone.
The bigger question now is whether this is the beginning of another expansion or simply a short-term relief rally after the unlock event.
My read: medium term structure remains bullish, but chasing this move here is not ideal.

EVENT TRADE CALL: Sony ($SONY ‌)
My event driven setup is bullish on Sony.
The key catalyst I'm watching is the combination of strong Japanese equity momentum, currency movements, and continued strength across Sony’s diversified businesses.
Entry: $SONY around current market levels
Target: +12–15%
Stop: -6%
Risk/Reward: roughly 2:1+
The thesis is straightforward:
Japanese equities remain strong, while macro factors and USD/JPY dynamics continue to influence the earnings outlook for major Japanese companies.

Bullish on $NVDA into earnings and still constructive after.
NVIDIA drops Q2 FY2027 numbers after the close this Wednesday, August 26. Wall Street is looking for roughly $92 billion in revenue and about $2.09 in EPS nearly double what the company delivered a year ago. Those are monster numbers, but at this point they’re almost table stakes. The real test is whether Blackwell demand remains constrained, how clean the backlog looks, and what management says about the second half and the ramp into Vera Rubin.

#GateReservesRiseTo$8.2Billion Proof of Reserves: The Number Matters, But What Matters More Is What Stands Behind It
Gate’s latest Proof of Reserves update caught my attention for one simple reason: the headline number is impressive, but the asset-level details are even more important.
Gate reports total reserves of approximately $8.22 billion, with an overall reserve ratio of around 127%.
That means reported reserves exceed corresponding user liabilities, providing additional coverage beyond a simple 1:1 backing.
But I think users should look beyond the 127% headline.
