Markets

Bitcoin held near the $111K area in quiet pre-data trade, with desks focused on the U.S. August jobs report as the next catalyst. Barron’s flagged BTC’s push to a one-week high and noted that softer labor data could bolster rate-cut odds and risk assets. Yahoo Finance’s morning wrap echoed the tone, highlighting a modest bid across majors. (Barron's & Yahoo Finanças)

Under the hood, flows looked mixed: CoinDesk pointed to slower spot-ETF inflows and some selling from older BTC wallets, which has capped momentum despite supportive macro. As always, short-term range levels matter—traders are watching ~$114K as the near resistance to reclaim. (CoinDesk)

Regulation

The SEC and CFTC put out a rare joint signal of alignment, saying they’ll co-host a public roundtable on September 29 to advance “regulatory harmonization” across crypto, including DeFi and 24/7 markets. According to the CFTC’s official release and CoinDesk’s readout, agency leaders stressed coordination over turf battles—a tone shift the industry has long asked for. (CoinDesk)

Separately, Reuters reported yesterday that the SEC’s fresh rulemaking agenda previews broader crypto policy changes, from potential exemptions/safe harbors to clearer pathways for listing certain digital assets on national exchanges—signals that formal proposals are coming into view. (Reuters)

Adoption

Payments heavyweight Stripe and crypto VC Paradigm formally unveiled Tempo, a new layer-1 designed from the ground up for high-throughput stablecoin payments (think payouts, remittances, micro-transactions). According to CoinDesk and Bloomberg, Tempo is already in private testing with big-name design partners and aims for sub-second, low-cost settlement—evidence that mainstream fintechs are building their own rails rather than just integrating existing ones. Expect competitive pressure on both legacy networks and crypto-native chains focused on payments. (Bloomberg)

In Asia, Sora Ventures said it’s launching what it calls the region’s first dedicated bitcoin treasury fund, targeting $1B of BTC purchases within six months and having secured $200M in initial commitments. As reported by CoinDesk and The Block, the vehicle seeks to knit together a regional network of “bitcoin-on-balance-sheet” firms—another sign that corporate treasury adoption is moving beyond the U.S. playbook.

Tech & Innovation

Stablecoin giant Tether is exploring investments in the gold supply chain, according to Barron’s, extending its verticals beyond stablecoins. While not a protocol upgrade, it underscores how cash-rich issuers are branching into real-world assets and commodities infrastructure—potentially shaping future tokenization plays. (Barron's)

On Ethereum, network participation metrics turned a corner: BeInCrypto noted the staking entry queue outpaced unstaking again as September began, hinting at renewed confidence among validators and long-term holders ahead of the next upgrade cycle. For builders, a healthier staking pipeline can support more predictable security and fees into Q4. (BeInCrypto)
