Solana News Brings ARB via Sunrise as Trading Fee Debate Grows

TLDR:Solana news brings ARB trading through Sunrise, expanding access while drawing attention to competing claims about fees and execution.Steven Goldfeder emphasizes protection against harmful MEV, while Anatoly Yakovenko argues that Arbitrum offers worse spreads and higher fees.SOL trades at $106.02 after gaining 2.5%, while daily trading volume increases 63.8%, without establishing a direct link to the ARB listing.Support near $105 and resistance at $107.37 frame the immediate technical setup, with a decline below $104.94 weakening the recovery.　　Solana news centers on ARB arriving through Sunrise while SOL trades at $106.02, up 2.5% over 24 hours. The listing gives traders another venue for the asset and brings trading costs into focus. Solana promotes better spreads and lower fees, while rival executives disagree over how those costs should be measured.　　According to Coingecko data, SOL trading volume climbs 63.8% to $3.49 billion during the same period. That increase accompanies the price recovery, although it does not establish that the ARB launch caused either move. Attention now turns to execution quality, available liquidity, and support near the closely watched $105 level.　　Solana news puts Sunrise ARB launch and fees in focus　　Solana announced that ARB is available on its network through Sunrise, presenting the expansion as access

Upbit delists BONK as Bithumb clears the same coin

Upbit is ceasing support for trading BONK on Monday, thereby taking away one of the two major South Korean exchanges for the Solana meme coin, while its rival Bithumb goes the other way and supports it.　　The end of trading comes as a matter of urgency for traders from Korea, as Upbit is removing the BONK/KRW and BONK/USDT pairs at 15:00 KST on September 7, 2026, which means the cancellation of open orders. Withdrawals for BONK will be available until October 7.　　Korean markets carry weight outside of the exchange in question. The Asia Capital Markets Report 2026 by the OECD indicates Korea and India saw the highest absolute inflow of crypto-assets in Asia in the 12 months leading to June 2025.　　Two exchanges, one incident, opposite calls　　On July 7, Upbit and Bithumb put BONK under the designation of “trading caution.” The concern that led to this designation is mentioned in a notification from Bithumb on July 7: it has to do with a security incident, the cause of which was either unknown or unresolved, as well as whether any significant information has been disclosed in a timely manner.　　A month later, the two exchanges parted ways.　　On August 7, Bithumb lifted its caution status,

Crypto Holders Turn to Loans as Markets Cool in 2026: CQ

Crypto holders increased their use of digital asset-backed loans in 2026 as weaker markets reshaped borrowing habits and collateral preferences.　　Crypto holders relied more on loans backed by digital assets as market conditions weakened in 2026, according to research from CryptoQuant.　　The report analyzed data from crypto lender CoinRabbit. It found higher borrowing activity among both retail and high-net-worth users.　　Borrowing Activity Rises　　Crypto-backed loans allow holders to access cash without immediately selling their digital assets. Borrowers usually pledge more collateral than they receive, but falling prices can trigger liquidation or require more collateral.　　According to the report, retail users recorded the biggest change in borrowing activity during the period. Their average number of loans rose 74%, from 30.8 per user in 2025 to 53.5 in 2026, while high-net-worth users rose 18%, from 16.5 to 19.4.　　Repeat borrowing also became more common across the platform. The share of users taking multiple loans increased from 61.9% to 65.1%. Retail borrowers waited an average of 21 days between loans, compared with 11 days previously.　　Beyond borrowing activity, collateral preferences also shifted, particularly among wealthier users. Bitcoins share of pledged assets among high-net-worth users fell from 57.8% to 30.5%, while Zcash reached 24.2% after not appearing among the previous top

Three DeFi projects face possible exclusion from future Arbitrum DAO programs

Arbitrums Watchdog Committee, a grant oversight body, has given three DeFi projects until a tentative Sept. 10 deadline to answer high-severity misuse findings and return funds it considers unresolved, or face separate votes on permanent exclusion from future DAO programs.　　Related Asset Arbitrum #55 ARB · $0.18 24-hour change: up 14.37% Price history is not available. 24H Up 14.37% 7D Up 107.27% 30D Up 133.77%　　The cases name Good Entry, Limitless and APX Finance, formerly ApolloX. Their cited figures add to 457,553 ARB, but that total combines different findings rather than representing one amount established as stolen, outstanding or recoverable.　　As of Sept. 5, no response from any of the projects appeared in the proposal thread. The committee described the schedule as tentative and said a vote would follow only if a projects explanation is unsatisfactory and its respective funds are not returned within the one-week window. No ban has been approved.　　For Good Entry, the committee said on-chain analysis found 142,839 ARB was distributed to 1,032 ineligible users during and after the Short-Term Incentives Program. It also alleged self-farming by wallets connected to team addresses and said the project refused to provide clarification. Good Entrys grant application requested 200,000 ARB, so the watchdog

Bitcoins faces a weird new macro reality as the Fed turns off the tap and Treasury opens the floodgates

Bitcoins current rally started when the Treasury Department announced on Aug. 19 that, beginning Sept. 9, it would at least double the maximum size of certain buyback operations for government bonds with 10 to 30 years left to maturity, raising the cap from $2 billion to $4 billion per operation.　　Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $79,922.41 24-hour change: down 0.09% 24H Down 0.09% 7D Up 1.14% 30D Up 23.60%　　Simply put, the Treasury was offering to buy more older long-term bonds from dealers that wanted to sell them.　　Later that day, the Federal Reserve released minutes from its July meeting, where three members had voted for a quarter-point rate increase, and many others thought another hike would be needed if inflation failed to retreat.　　The central bank kept its target range at 3.50% to 3.75%, though the debate had already moved from how long rates should stay high to whether they should go higher.　　At first, Washington seemed to be pushing bond markets in two directions. The Fed was trying to make money more expensive across the economy, while Treasury debt managers were trying to make older long-term government bonds easier to trade.　　They have different jobs, though borrowers and investors experience both at once,

MENA Crypto Volume Hits $350B as Gulf Markets Accelerate

MENAs annual onchain crypto volume has risen to roughly $350 billion.Turkey remains the largest regional market, approaching $200 billion annually.Saudi Arabia leads growth at 154% year over year, followed by Qatar at 120%.The UAE processed approximately $150 billion in crypto transactions during 2025.　　The Middle East and North Africa is developing into one of the world‘s fastest-growing digital-asset regions, but the forces driving adoption differ sharply across its major markets. Annual onchain transaction volume has climbed from roughly $100 billion in 2022 to an estimated $350 billion by 2025-2026, according to a September 4 analysis from the Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI). Turkey remains the region’s largest market by transaction value, while Saudi Arabia and Qatar are recording the fastest growth as Gulf governments build regulated digital-finance ecosystems.　　One Region, Two Different Crypto Markets　　The $350 billion headline masks an increasingly important divide inside MENA.　　In countries facing currency depreciation, sanctions or geopolitical instability, crypto is being used partly as an alternative financial rail. BPI points to Egypt, Turkey, Lebanon and Iran, where weakening currencies have increased interest in Bitcoin and U.S. dollar-backed stablecoins as tools for preserving purchasing power and transferring value.　　The Gulf presents a different picture.　　In Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Bahrain,

Bitcoins 4-Year Cycle Could Be Changing: Willy Woo Reveals What Could Replace It

The 4-year cycle is back on topic, but Willy Woo believes theres a more apparent pattern in play.　　Given the nature of its blockchain, bitcoin was long considered to move around within a broader four-year cycle prompted by the halving, which takes place in general every four years. However, the pattern has been rejected in the past year or so, and popular on-chain analyst Willy Woo took the same approach in his latest opinion on the matter.　　He suggested that BTC may be transitioning toward a six-to-eight-year cycle, increasingly influenced by the same debt and liquidity conditions that drive traditional financial markets.　　From Halving to Liquidity？　　Woo‘s reasoning begins with the cryptocurrency’s diminishing supply shock. Following the latest halving in April 2024, new BTC issuance dropped to approximately 0.8% of the existing supply per year. The next event, scheduled to take place in early 2028, will reduce that figure to roughly 0.4%.　　As newly mined supply becomes increasingly insignificant relative to the existing market, Woo argued that the halving‘s ability to dictate BTC’s broader price cycle weakens. Instead, the asset may begin moving more closely with TradFis six-to-eight-year short-term debt cycle.　　The halving framework worked remarkably well for much of bitcoins history. Now, though, the market

Nike Exits S&P 100 After 78% Stock Crash as Tech Moves In

Nike‘s long slide has now cost it a place in one of America’s most exclusive blue-chip indexes.　　S&P Dow Jones Indices will remove Nike from the S&P 100 on Sept. 21, while Dell Technologies, Palo Alto Networks, Arista Networks and SanDisk join the mega-cap benchmark. Nike will remain in the broader S&P 500.　　The timing is brutal.　　Nike closed Friday at $38.40, near a 12-year low and roughly 78% below its November 2021 record. Its market capitalization has fallen to about $57 billion, from roughly $264 billion at the end of 2021.　　Coinpaper previously examined the 12-year low, but the index exit adds a different dimension: Nike is no longer being treated as one of the markets dominant mega-cap blue chips.　　Nikes market cap and stock price have plunged since 2021.Nikes Exit Shows How Much the Mega-Cap Club Has Changed　　The rebalance is bigger than Nike.　　Nike, Colgate-Palmolive, Simon Property Group and Honeywell Aerospace are leaving the S&P 100. Their replacements are Dell, Palo Alto Networks, Arista Networks and SanDisk.　　That is a striking shift toward technology, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity and AI-linked data-center demand.　　Arista is now worth about $244 billion, more than four times Nikes current valuation. Palo Alto Networks is valued near $272 billion, almost five times
