European crypto asset manager CoinShares said Bitcoin has moved similarly to gold over the past two weeks, according to Wu Blockchain. CoinShares said renewed concerns over U.S. fiscal soundness and stronger demand for long-dated Treasurys helped lift Bitcoin from the low $60,000 range to $80,000, while the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy has acted as a key constraint on further gains. The firm added Bitcoin would need factors such as a resolution to the Iran situation or a further decline in confidence in U.S. Treasurys, expanding demand for stores of value such as Bitcoin, to remain consistently above $80,000. In the short term, CoinShares said August U.S. inflation data and the Fed’s September meeting are likely to be the main events shaping Bitcoin’s direction.

Grayscale said stock token trading volume reached a record high in August, with weekly spot volume nearing $3 billion, while only about 5% of the overall market is currently being used in on-chain finance. Most trading activity took place on Robinhood Chain, BNB Chain, and Solana. Use of stock tokens in lending protocols such as Kamino and Jupiter has increased about tenfold over the past year, but their use in lending, collateral, and other financial applications remains limited. Grayscale said, "As the U.S. regulatory environment becomes clearer, stock tokens could grow beyond products traded 24/7 globally into productive on-chain financial assets."

FinCEN said a substantial share of the activity appears to be tied to transnational criminal groups operating from crime compounds in Southeast Asia.

Arbitrum said Robinhood Chain continued operating normally without downtime, even as transaction processing was delayed after the network stopped producing blocks for more than 14 minutes. Robinhood Chain, an Arbitrum-based Ethereum layer-two network, saw delays while posting transaction batch data to Ethereum because of blob market conditions on Ethereum’s L1, Arbitrum said. Arbitrum added that individually submitted user transactions were not delayed. According to Arbitrum, the incident stemmed from Ethereum market volatility rather than an infrastructure problem on Robinhood Chain itself. Robinhood Chain is now operating normally.

Adam Aron, CEO of U.S.-listed theater chain AMC Entertainment, criticized Robinhood Chief Legal Officer Dan Gallagher over stock token trading and said Gallagher should be ashamed. Aron made the remarks after reposting Gallagher’s statement on X. Earlier, Aron had called for a halt to trading in AMC stock tokens. Gallagher responded in English, "We know the U.S. securities laws" and "we will not" stop token trading. In response, Aron said Gallagher appeared to believe openly admitting he was ignoring the law meant he did not have to follow it. Aron also questioned why the tokens were being promoted on a U.S. website if stock tokens issued overseas could not be offered or sold to Americans. Aron added that if the practice was not illegal, it should be, and said either way the episode showed severely flawed judgment.

Bitcoin is being heavily influenced by moves in the stock market, and the current interest-rate outlook could also weigh on BTC, Bloomberg Intelligence senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone said in an analysis posted on X. McGlone said fed funds futures are pricing in about 0.5 percentage points of rate hikes over the next year. Under those conditions, BTC has typically shown weakness and then rebounded after futures-market expectations began shifting back toward easier monetary policy, he said. McGlone added that a stock-market decline is a key variable that could change monetary policy expectations, but it would be difficult for metals or crypto assets to rise on their own while equities are falling. He said risk assets, including BTC, are currently being driven largely by the direction of the stock market.
