PONS briefly hit a $990 million market cap this morning, notching another new all-time high.
According to GMGN market data, the on-chain token PONS on Robinhood Chain briefly exceeded $990 million in market capitalization this morning, hitting a new all-time high. It has since pulled back to $860 million, with a 28% 24-hour price gain and $109.2 million in 24-hour trading volume. PONS is the native token of Pons, a token issuance platform built on Robinhood Chain. The platform supports the creation and issuance of fixed-supply tokens, uses collected WETH fees to repurchase PONS, and directly burns the PONS fees it charges. Some community members view it as the Robinhood Chain equivalent of Pump.fun. BlockBeats reminds users that such tokens are highly volatile, so investment requires caution.

The Trump administration is exerting comprehensive pressure on [沃什], and the Federal Reserve’s independence is once again under test ahead of its September interest rate hike.
Ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September 15-16 policy meeting, the Trump administration is ramping up public pressure on the Fed to avoid raising interest rates and even push for further cuts. Trump, U.S. Vice President Vance, Treasury Secretary Bessent, and White House Senior Economic Advisor Navarro have all recently publicly called for keeping rates steady or lowering them. Markets currently assign a roughly 60% probability that the Fed will raise rates by 25 basis points in September, driven primarily by U.S. August nonfarm payrolls adding 162,000 jobs and the unemployment rate holding at 4.1%. Fed Chair Walsh has repeatedly emphasized inflation risks, noting earlier that 54% of components in the PCE price index rose more than 3% over the past 12 months, arguing the Fed should focus on curbing inflation. Trump’s latest remarks go further, suggesting that if the Fed does not cut rates, the U.S. could take measures such as halting trade with countries that run a trade surplus with the U.S. With the November midterm elections approaching, high prices and elevated interest rates are putting growing political pressure on the Trump administration. Markets will now closely watch U.S. CPI data to be released this week, which could be a key factor in the Fed’s decision to raise rates or hold them steady in September.

Viewpoint: Bitcoin’s annual gains are often concentrated in a small number of trading days, meaning long-term holding may outperform timing trades.
An analysis of Bitcoin’s historical performance from 2010 to 2026 shows that the vast majority of its annual gains are concentrated in a tiny number of trading days, leading multiple industry experts to argue that long-term holding may be more advantageous than frequent attempts at timing trades. Data indicates that in 11 of the past 18 years, removing the 10 best-performing trading days of the year would turn a profitable year into a losing one. For instance, Bitcoin rose 94% in 2019, but would have fallen 40% for the year if its 10 best trading days were excluded; as of 2026 so far, Bitcoin is down roughly 9%, a drop that would widen to around 36% if its 5 best days were removed. Andre Dragosch, Head of European Research at Bitwise, noted that Bitcoin spends most of its time in sideways consolidation, with its major gains typically concentrated in a small number of explosive trading days, making it extremely difficult to time these moments precisely. “Holding period matters more than timing,” he said. Adam Haeems, Head of Asset Management at Tesseract Group, pointed out that on Feb. 5, 2026, Bitcoin fell roughly 14% in a single day, only to rise around 12% the next day. This demonstrates that attempting to capture excess returns by avoiding dips may carry the risk of missing out on rapid rebounds. With growing allocations to Bitcoin via spot ETFs, institutional funds, and corporate balance sheets, the cryptocurrency’s daily volatility is declining overall, but its market returns still exhibit the trait of concentrated, periodic bursts of gains.

CZ: Kyrgyzstan has established a cryptocurrency regulatory framework, and the stablecoin KGST has started circulating.
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) announced in a post that he attended the third official meeting of Kyrgyzstan’s National Crypto Commission today, chaired by Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov. The meeting discussed topics including crypto regulatory frameworks, compliance, anti-money laundering (AML), anti-fraud, stablecoins, and asset tokenization—with a specific pilot project also covered in the tokenization sector. CZ noted that Kyrgyzstan’s crypto industry has made "real progress". Just about a year ago, a crypto regulatory framework was still just a concept in the country; now, Kyrgyzstan has established such a framework, opened local banking channels to serve crypto trading platforms, and its stablecoin KGST is already in market circulation.
