Strategy Faces Community Backlash: Launches 'Bitcoin-Themed' Jordan Sneakers Without BTC Payment Support
Odaily News: Strategy has launched a Bitcoin-themed Air Jordan 1 sneaker priced at $250, now available on its official store.

Trump's Account Caught in Perfect Timing of Trades Amid Iran Conflict
Odaily News: Buying on the first day of the conflict, precisely bottom-fishing before the pause in strikes, and clearing positions before the resumption of strikes—Trump's investment account has been revealed to have made 23 "stock-guru-level trades" over the past six months, with unrealized gains exceeding $1 million.
It is reported that during the first six months of geopolitical conflict, the investment account under Trump's name reaped substantial returns through active trading in energy stocks. These holdings spanned nine major U.S. energy giants, greatly benefiting from supply disruption fears triggered by the conflict. A report released in August by Democratic staff on the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC) provided a higher estimate. The committee calculated that the total value of Trump's broader oil and gas portfolio has increased by up to $15.5 million this year.
The report quickly sparked political backlash. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized in a post that Trump provoked the conflict with Iran this year, directly driving the surge in oil and gas stocks, while his own substantial holdings rose accordingly. (CNBC)
Robinhood CEO Responds to AMC Criticism: Public Companies Cannot Control Tokenization of Their Stocks
Odaily News: Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev responded to AMC's criticism in a recent interview, stating that once a public company's stock is publicly traded, other financial institutions should have the right to issue financial products based on those stocks without prior permission from the issuing company.
Vlad Tenev said that publicly traded stocks are essentially transferable property held by shareholders, so other financial institutions should be able to launch financial products referencing such stocks without obtaining permission from the issuer. He specifically noted that Robinhood's stock tokens are issued by independent entities and backed by the corresponding underlying stocks, so they should not automatically require prior consent from the relevant public company.
AMC CEO Adam Aron had previously criticized Robinhood's tokenization of AMC stock, arguing that it bypasses the issuing company and disrupts the traditional relationship between the company and its shareholders, and that token holders do not have voting rights in the underlying stock. As for how Robinhood will exercise the voting rights associated with the underlying stock, Adam Aron said the company has not yet announced a specific plan. (CNBC)

Bitfinex Report: Bitcoin Faces Key Support Test as Altcoin Activity Rises
Odaily News: Bitfinex Alpha released a report showing that Bitcoin has been trading sideways between $77,100 and $81,300 over the past 20 trading days, with the current price near the key support at the lower end of the range. A breakout above $81,300 could see prices quickly rise to $86,500 due to a volume vacuum above. In the options market, protection has been moved to contracts expiring on September 18 ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision. The report also notes that while Bitcoin's volatility has declined, altcoins have been active, with all 29 major cryptocurrencies posting gains last week, led by Polkadot (+43%) and Zcash (+42%). For the first time this week, open interest in altcoin perpetual contracts surpassed that of Bitcoin, a historical precursor to market correction risks.

U.S. Treasury Expands OFAC Powers to Sanction Iran's Entire Digital Asset Industry
Odaily News: Bitcoin News posted on X that the U.S. Treasury Department has expanded sanctions against Iran to include the country's entire digital asset industry, allowing OFAC to take action against industry operators regardless of their location. The measure took effect on Aug. 24 and also covers gold, shipping, aviation, and technology. Elliptic tracking found that the Central Bank of Iran has acquired at least $507 million in USDT; Tether froze $344 million in USDT related to the bank in April. Iran also obtains crypto assets through Bitcoin mining, which Elliptic estimates accounts for about 4.5% of the global total, generating hundreds of millions of dollars in crypto assets annually. The measure does not automatically sanction all Iranian cryptocurrency users, but it gives the U.S. Treasury broader authority to target the industry and supporters of designated entities.
Bonk Guy: I've Changed My Bias Against Solana, Now Turning Bullish
Odaily News: Bonk Guy posted on X that he had been pessimistic about Solana, even writing an analysis favoring Robinhood and BNB Chain, believing that Solana would lose significant market share and attention in this cycle. However, recently his views have started to turn bullish on Solana and its ecosystem.
Bonk Guy believes that Solana has recently embraced the "trench" culture again and has begun to more actively promote community projects. At the same time, Solana's management proactively reached out to him to understand how to better align with the community and the "trench" ecosystem. Additionally, Solana officials and core members have recently started to actively recognize ecosystem projects such as $STONK and $USELESS.
These changes are not merely positive for a specific token but reflect a top-down cultural shift within Solana, as well as management's proactive efforts to address issues in the ecosystem. He emphasized that his past criticism of Solana was never about technology or infrastructure, but rather about the ecosystem culture and the impact of "extractors" on Solana's new projects and users.
Bonk Guy also revealed that his long-form analysis, which was originally planned for public release and was bearish on Solana while favoring Robinhood and BNB Chain, will first be shared with Solana for reference. Due to the recent changes that have made him more optimistic, he may adjust his views and ultimately publish a more balanced analysis.
Bonk Guy concluded: "My Solana bias is changing."
