Binance will delist spot trading pairs including AIXBT/USDC, DOLO/USDC, and ENJ/USDC on September 25.

Crypto analyst Chen Mo noted in a post that Binance’s USDe briefly depegged abnormally to $0.92 today. The last USDe-related incident occurred on October 11 (1011), though its on-chain price remained normal throughout. USDe has a thin order book on centralized exchanges (CEXs) and is accepted as collateral for position opening; the risk spillover from the October 11 incident stemmed from this mechanism. Since then, Binance has added USDe’s actual redemption price to its price index, no longer relying solely on order book quotes. In theory, the October 11 event will not repeat.

BNY Mellon Americas macro strategist John Velis stated in a report that he expects the Federal Reserve to deliver one more interest rate hike in December, but is uncertain whether the Fed will implement as many rate increases in 2027 as currently priced by markets. "The outcome hinges on how effective policy tightening will be amid the current inflation shock," he said. He noted that this largely depends on the situation in the Middle East, where visibility remains low. "A de-escalation of tensions and the resulting drop in oil prices could shift the considerations of both markets and the Fed," he added, cautioning that tying policy outlooks to a situation that may first deteriorate before improving is not a sustainable long-term approach.

Beating AI Express: AI podcast *Limitless* host Ejaaz Ahamadeen shared that after his Delta flight was delayed for around seven hours, he delegated follow-up processing to Meta’s personal AI agent Muse. Muse automatically filled out the complaint form, only requesting his SkyMiles number and mailing address from him. About five minutes later, he received a $250 account credit in his Delta account. Muse then helped him search for alternative flights and rebook a trip. Some questioned whether Muse simply submitted applications based on pre-set rules, to which Ejaaz responded that Muse also continued to communicate with Delta customer service via email. Delta has no fixed rule of “$250 compensation for seven-hour delays”; this payment was a case-specific compensation. This is not an isolated case: recently, three other users shared similar experiences: Muse helped one person get $200 in flight delay compensation, submitted a $189.37 Alaska Airlines flight cancellation claim for another, and helped a third person obtain about $1000 in account credit due to a United Airlines ticket price drop. Business Insider also reported today on Meta’s promoted #MuseMoneyChallenge, noting that many of the current successful cases come from Meta employees, so community-shared wins should not be taken as general results.

UBS is shifting its asset allocation focus to Asian emerging market bonds. Adrian Zuercher, co-head of global asset allocation at UBS’ Chief Investment Office and co-head of global investment management for Asia Pacific, told CNBC that global yields remain elevated, creating more allocation opportunities in credit and fixed income markets. Zuercher noted that a strong macroeconomic environment is underpinning emerging market bond performance, with Asian tech sector bonds—especially high-yield bonds—outperforming broader markets in recent months. He argued that high-yield bonds have a higher overall quality today than 10 to 15 years ago, and Asian emerging market bonds can deliver both relatively attractive yields and solid macroeconomic support. In commodities, UBS remains bullish on gold’s value as a portfolio diversifier. Zuercher said the current environment is favorable for gold, as structural weakness in the U.S. dollar is supporting gold prices. Additionally, UBS believes broader commodity exposure also helps diversify portfolio risk. Middle East tensions have pushed oil prices higher, while the AI boom has increased demand for commodities like copper.
