According to CME Group’s FedWatch data, after the U.S. Federal Reserve implemented its first interest rate hike in three years, market focus has shifted to whether this move is a policy "recalibration" or the start of a new consecutive rate hike cycle. The two remaining FOMC meetings in 2026 are scheduled for October and December respectively. Currently, the probability of holding interest rates steady at the October meeting is 49.1%, while the chance of a 25 basis point hike is 5.9%. For the period through December, the probability of rates remaining unchanged from current levels is 13.3%, a cumulative 25 basis point hike has a 49.6% probability, and a cumulative 50 basis point hike carries a 37.2% chance.

According to HTX market data, UNI has surged past $7.3, gaining over 15.6% in the 24-hour period. Today, Uniswap founder Hayden Adams stated that for Automated Market Makers (AMMs), the most critical point is not the main text of the SEC’s "innovation exemption" but the accompanying opinion from Commissioner Hester Peirce. This means the general permissionless Uniswap is not included in this regulatory sandbox and does not need to apply for an exemption in the first place. The exemption applies to permissioned liquidity pools on Uniswap v4, a path that can be chosen when assets and users require compliant channels. Hayden Adams believes that permissioned Uniswap v4 pools are the new entry point for compliant on-chain US stock trading.

According to GMGN data, the crypto meme coin Artificial Inu (AI) on the Robinhood Chain has hit a new all-time high, with its market cap exceeding $360 million, a 24-hour gain of 32.1%, and trading volume of $23.9 million. Artificial Inu was launched via Long.xyz, a launchpad on the Robinhood Chain, and uses tokenized Nvidia stock as its liquidity pool, with liquidity provided via the AI/NVDA trading pair. BlockBeats Note: Stock Meme is an emerging concept that combines traditional meme coins with tokenized U.S. stocks. Unlike standard meme coins that pair with USDT or ETH, Stock Memes are directly paired with on-chain U.S. stock tokens (such as NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, etc.). This model retains meme coins’ high volatility and community-driven speculative traits while leveraging the popularity and narratives of real stocks. A portion of transaction fees is typically funneled back to the community treasury to accumulate the corresponding U.S. stock tokens, forming a dual-driven model of "sentiment-driven speculation + real asset anchoring". BlockBeats reminds users that token prices are highly volatile, so investment should be approached with caution.

According to HTX market data, Backpack’s platform token BP has surged past $0.53, logging a more than 18.4% gain in the past 24 hours. The price movement is mainly driven by news that the SEC has approved limited trading of tokenized stocks on on-chain platforms. On July 10 this year, Backpack announced the launch of a 24/7 real US stock trading market for international investors, allowing eligible users to trade and hold actual US stocks around the clock rather than synthetic derivatives. Backpack stated that the platform provides actual equity ownership, leverages liquidity from traditional trading platforms, and supports instant settlement, continuous price discovery, as well as fiat and stablecoin settlements.
