Polygon [POL] faces a $1.29M FalconX deposit – Can $0.08934 hold？

Polygon [POL] encountered renewed supply pressure as FalconX moved 14 million tokens valued at $1.29 million into the Binance exchange amid its ongoing price correction.　　This transaction marked FalconXs largest POL deposit to Binance this week, hence raising fresh exchange-side supply concerns among traders.　　At the time of this writing, Polygon was trying to stabilize around $0.09349 after pulling back rapidly from its late-August peak around the $0.125 zone.　　The transfer therefore arrived at a time when bulls were already working to stabilize the broader price structure.　　Moving tokens into Binance introduced readily available exchange supply, thus creating potential selling pressure.　　The transaction itself however did not confirm that FalconX sold those tokens, but rather introduced additional supply risk as POL sat around a key demand region.　　Buyers would need to absorb any incoming selling pressure to protect the establishing recovery structure.　　Top traders keep their bullish conviction　　The derivatives positioning on the other hand provided a different outlook. According to CoinGlass, Binance top traders maintained substantial long exposure despite FalconXs exchange deposit.　　Specifically, the long positions accounted for around 63.21%, against 36.79% for short positions. The resulting 1.72 Long/Short Ratio reflected a clear support for bullish positioning.　　Interestingly, the conviction persisted while POL consolidated around its demand area following

Nasdaq deepens Kraken ties with proposed $100 million Payward investment

Nasdaq has agreed to invest $100 million in Payward, the parent company of Kraken, while Payward plans to adopt Nasdaq market-surveillance technology across its trading businesses. The two moves add capital and market-integrity infrastructure to an existing partnership focused on tokenized equities.　　The proposed investment, made through Nasdaq Ventures, gives the relationship a new financial dimension. Nasdaq and Payward also said they will continue developing the operational and commercial systems for planned Nasdaq Equity Tokens, or NETs.　　According to the companies announcement, Payward will deploy Nasdaq surveillance tools across a portfolio of trading venues that includes crypto, equities, tokenized equities, futures and options. That expands the relationship beyond the planned distribution and settlement framework for NETs and into technology used to monitor trading across several markets.　　Related Company Nasdaq An American stock exchange　　The announcement describes an agreement to invest, not a completed transaction. It does not disclose a closing date, Payward valuation, ownership percentage or governance rights for Nasdaq. The available terms therefore do not establish how much influence Nasdaq could gain over Payward.　　The partnership predates the investment. In March, the companies announced plans for an equities transformation gateway connecting Nasdaqs proposed issuer-sponsored tokens with Paywards xStocks tokenized-equity ecosystem in eligible jurisdictions.　　The Sept.

Australian Dollar holds firm as hotter US inflation fails to cement Greenback's advantage

AUD/USD is edging higher today but is yet to retake the 0.7200 mark on Friday. The pair is clawing back part of the previous sessions sharp sell-off after hitting multi-month highs in the high 0.7200s. The recovery holds even after a firmer-than-expected United States (US) inflation print that would normally weigh on the Aussie.　　US core Consumer Price Index (CPI) data ran hotter than forecast in August, strengthening the case for a Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hike at next weeks meeting. Though headline CPI rose 0.4% MoM, in line with expectations, core inflation increased 0.3%, its fastest pace since April and above the 0.2% consensus.　　Higher Crude and rising front-end yields would normally support the US Dollar, but it has struggled to follow either signal. A growing US policy premium has taken hold of FX pricing and weakened those traditional links. Investors remain wary of the policy mix, the fiscal outlook, and efforts to hold down long-term borrowing costs. That hesitation is helping the Aussie keep its ground.　　The 2-year US Treasury yield, the one most sensitive to Fed policy, pushed up to around 4.62% and rose roughly 3 basis points on the day as it leaned into a near-term interest rate hike.

Bank stablecoins can earn DeFi yield, but holders bear the risk: Katana CEO

Katana CEO Matt Fisher has said a dollar stablecoin planned by 21 financial institutions for the first half of 2027 could generate yield through independent DeFi protocols, although holders would assume risks not covered by its issuing banks.　　Katana CEO Matt Fisher told crypto.news that the GENIUS Act restriction applies to permitted stablecoin issuers, not necessarily to how holders use tokens after receiving them, though he described his position as a market-structure view rather than legal advice.　　“The GENIUS Act stops the issuer from paying yield; it doesn‘t stop the holder from putting the dollar to work somewhere the issuer doesn’t control. Once a compliant stablecoin leaves the issuer and moves into an independent protocol, yield can come from genuine economic activity.”　　Bank stablecoins may leave tokenized cash idle　　Fishers comments follow a Sep. 1 commitment by Bank of America, Citi, Goldman Sachs, UBS and 17 other financial institutions to establish a new stablecoin company during the second half of 2026, subject to closing conditions.　　As detailed in a recent 21-firm stablecoin plan, the unnamed venture expects to introduce a dollar-denominated token in the first half of 2027. It may later add tokens tied to other G7 currencies, with a euro product listed as its

Canadian Dollar slides as Oil tumbles, US CPI fails to lift USD

USD/CAD rises 0.27% on Friday and trades around 1.3870 at the time of writing, after reaching a daily high of 1.3882 in the immediate reaction to the release of United States (US) inflation data. The pair is on track for a third consecutive day of gains, supported by the US Dollars (USD) initial reaction to the data and a sharp decline in Oil prices that weighs on the Canadian Dollar (CAD).　　The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) rises 3.4% YoY in August, unchanged from the previous month and in line with market expectations, according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on Friday. On a monthly basis, prices increase 0.4%, following a rise of just 0.1% previously.　　The underlying figures provide a slightly firmer signal. The Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy components, rises 0.3% MoM, exceeding the 0.2% forecast. On an annual basis, however, core inflation eases to 2.4% from 2.5% in July.　　The US Dollar briefly strengthened following the release as investors reacted to the stronger-than-expected monthly increase in core inflation. However, the Greenback struggles to retain its gains as the annual figures show no renewed acceleration in inflationary pressures.　　On the Canadian side, selling pressure is

CPI and PPI climb, crushing hopes for cheap money and leaving Bitcoin traders with an expensive dilemma

US consumer prices increased faster in August, giving the Federal Reserve another reason to be cautious about lowering interest rates and leaving Bitcoin investors exposed to a prolonged period of expensive borrowing.　　Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $77,315.51 24-hour change: up 0.26% 24H Up 0.26% 7D Down 2.65% 30D Up 21.89%　　The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.4% from July, when it increased 0.1%, while the annual inflation rate held at 3.4%. Excluding food and energy, prices rose 0.3%, compared with 0.2% a month earlier, even as the annual core rate eased to 2.4% from 2.5%.　　Thursdays producer price report (PPI) showed a 0.4% monthly increase and a 5.4% annual gain. Energy accounted for much of the increase in both reports, although the faster monthly core CPI reading showed that consumer inflation also picked up outside fuel and food.　　That combination weakens the argument that slower annual inflation will soon bring lower interest rates. Investors holding cash can continue earning interest elsewhere, while those borrowing to invest face financing costs that reduce what they can earn from an increase in Bitcoins price.　　The Feds Sept. 15–16 meeting will put those costs back in the spotlight. The releases will enable officials to keep policy restrictive,
