As Anthropic's IPO approaches, its over-the-counter market cap has spiked and then pulled back, now quoted at $2.159 trillion.

White House Digital Assets Advisory Committee Executive Director Patrick Witt stated that the legislative window for the U.S. crypto market structure bill Clarity Act is narrowing. If the procedural vote scheduled for September 15 fails this week, there will be significant uncertainty about when the bill can advance again. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also urged lawmakers to push forward with the bill, warning that a legislative failure would send "concerning signals" regarding the U.S. crypto industry's leadership. The revised bill has incorporated 114 amendments proposed by Democrats, but according to Politico, it has yet to gain support from Democratic lawmakers, and advancing the bill requires at least six Democratic votes. Market participants including CK Zheng, founder of ZX Squared Capital, believe that if the Clarity Act is officially enacted, it could prompt large institutions waiting for regulatory clarity to accelerate their entry into the crypto market. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong previously noted that a $400,000 Bitcoin price target by 2030 is a "reasonable goal," corresponding to a market cap of around $8 trillion.

Liquid Capital founder Yilihua stated, "Interest rate hike expectations have emerged in the past two days, leading to divergent market trends. Now that bearish news has surfaced, two scenarios lie ahead: If a real rate hike is implemented, Bitcoin will likely break below $76,000 in the short term, consolidate at a lower level before rallying again. If no rate hike is delivered, prices will continue to rise. Regardless, trading spot assets without leverage is optimal. During a business school exchange in Shenzhen today, Yilihua outlined three key opportunities over the next three years: First, spot holdings of major cryptocurrencies BTC and ETH could generate around a 4x return; with strategic swing trading, one could aim for a 10x return. Second, trading infrastructure (Infra) still holds potential for 100x returns, as transaction activity is the core demand of the blockchain sector. Third, the 'IPOs' defined by CZ—on-chain stocks and IPO assets—will bring genuine high-quality under-the-radar assets, marking the end of the era of whitepaper-based tokens."

Following yesterday’s CPI release, Ethereum rallied nearly 10% in a short span, jumping quickly from $2,433 to $2,667. Analyst Alicharts attributes this short-term surge to whale activity, noting that the volume of Ethereum transactions worth over $1 million rose by nearly 14% during the period. However, Alicharts also warns that Ethereum is now approaching a major resistance level. Over 10 million ETH previously changed hands between $2,700 and $2,800, creating a significant supply barrier. This is the critical range whales must clear to drive Ethereum toward $3,000.

On his personal channel, on-chain detective ZachXBT stated that Revolut allegedly failed to identify a fraudulent request, leading to a data leak exposing some users’ personally identifiable information (PII). The leaked details include copies of passports or driver’s licenses, verification selfies, account statements, IBAN numbers, withdrawal records, full transaction histories (including Bitcoin trades), as well as users’ names, dates of birth, occupations, home addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers. ZachXBT added that the number of affected users may be limited, but the incident appears to target high-net-worth individuals; multiple Revolut users received relevant security alert emails yesterday.
