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.
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.

The tenth round of executive option pool at Japan's Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet continues to spark shareholder dissatisfaction. This option pool was originally designed to be 20% of the fully diluted equity and automatically expands as the company issues new shares to increase its Bitcoin holdings. Some shareholders are calling for the cancellation of the newly added 273 million shares and for greater transparency in future decision-making. On August 18, Metaplanet froze the option pool at 319.5 million shares, but critics argue that this actually amplifies the dilution for existing shareholders, as the option pool increased from 46 million shares to 319.5 million shares.Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich has committed to re-evaluating the company's governance and compensation policies and clarifying its relationship with shareholder MMXX Ventures, stating that it is merely a non-controlling significant shareholder of MMXX's parent company and does not hold an executive position. On August 31, Metaplanet disclosed that Gerovich had exercised 92,000 shares from the option pool. Matthew Sigel, head of digital asset research at VanEck, suggested freezing further exercise rights of the tenth round option pool, allowing holders to voluntarily waive excess rights, and replacing the tenth round option pool with a five-year incentive plan primarily linked to each share's fully diluted Bitcoin holdings, approved by shareholders.In its announcement on August 18, Metaplanet acknowledged that the decision to expand the option pool "amplified the dilution borne by existing shareholders." As of Wednesday's close in Tokyo, Metaplanet's stock price rose, narrowing the five-day decline to about 16.3%.
According to BeInCrypto, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko posted on the X platform that he hopes to establish a giant routing on the mainstream trading aggregator Jupiter, converting tokenized Nvidia stocks into tokenized SpaceX (SPCX) via Fartcoin, and believes that this routing will become the national best bid and offer (NBBO) reference price for all brokers in the United States.Yakovenko pointed out that the Jupiter aggregator automatically selects the lowest-cost trading path, and meme coin pools typically have the deepest liquidity on the network, so the router may complete part of the stock trades through Fartcoin.

CryptoQuant analyst Woominkyu pointed out that Bitcoin closed at $78,450 on September 8, continuing the rebound momentum from around $60,000 during the summer, while there was no simultaneous surge in large deposits at spot exchanges.Data shows that on September 8, the daily inflow of the top ten spot exchanges was 5,442 BTC, which is 4.4 times that of the previous day, but only 5.1% higher than the 30-day average. The seven-day average inflow was 4,678 BTC, lower than several peaks earlier this year. From a more macro perspective, the recent price rebound has not been accompanied by an abnormal increase in large deposit activity, providing limited evidence for assessing the ongoing selling pressure from large transfers.What needs to be focused on next is whether the seven-day average inflow will continue to rise while prices weaken. For now, the deposit rebound on September 8 seems more like a return to recent norms rather than an abnormal spike.
According to German media Golem, the Federal Ministry of Finance is preparing a bill to include cryptocurrency gains under capital gains tax. Speculative gains from digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum will be taxed at a rate of 25% starting as early as 2028, consistent with the current stock trading gains tax rate. Currently, selling crypto assets after holding them for more than a year is tax-free, while selling them within a year incurs a personal income tax rate of up to 45%.The bill proposes to retain the personal tax-free allowance (currently €1,000 per person) and allows crypto gains to offset losses from stocks and other securities; taxpayers with a personal tax rate below 25% can also apply for a "favorable assessment" to reduce their tax burden. This tax will apply to crypto assets purchased after January 1, 2027, and it remains to be clarified by legislation whether assets held prior to this date will enjoy transitional protection. The Ministry of Finance expects this move to generate approximately €350 million in additional tax revenue each year, and the bill has been submitted to other federal departments for consultation.

Documents obtained by The Intercept through a lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act show that the U.S. Department of Defense once requested OpenAI to provide a version of artificial intelligence specifically tailored for the military, with a "very low refusal rate" for commands. This statement appeared in the updated contract for the 2025 prototype agreement "P00003," which is a two-year agreement worth up to $200 million, covering logistics, intelligence decision-making, and operational uses. OpenAI, Google, xAI, and Anthropic all agreed to develop such militarized prototypes in 2025.OpenAI spokesperson Nate Evans stated that the company never agreed to contract terms that included a "very low refusal rate," and the relevant documents were early drafts from the Department of Defense, with the final executed contract not containing that statement. Department of Defense spokesperson Jacob Bliss also indicated that the phrase did not appear in any current contracts. The Intercept pointed out that the documents obtained were not marked as drafts; a Department of Justice lawyer representing the Pentagon once confirmed that the document was a signed executed version, but later requested to disregard that confirmation and stated that further investigation was needed.The latest contract signed on February 27 allows OpenAI services to be deployed on military classified networks, with similar delivery terms completely redacted. OpenAI stated that it has drawn a red line regarding autonomous killing and surveillance of Americans, but the contract text allows the government to determine any use as legal.
