Saylor argues Bitcoin can absorb Wall Street without changing

None of these layers necessitate staking, changes in the protocol, or any new currency imitating Bitcoin. Essentially, they work under known capital market schemes that have already been used for mortgages, municipal bonds, and preferred stocks.  “Bitcoin remains Bitcoin. The world builds on top.”  — Michael Saylor, Bitcoin, Digital Credit, and Digital Money, June 16, 2026  Its a distinction that is worth noting. A bond is different from the building it finances, just the same way as a preferred security is different from the underlying equity. Saylor uses the same principle to claim that a Bitcoin-backed income product can be less volatile than BTC since a “junior equity” layer would absorb more risk. According to Strategy, the common stock of the company (MSTR) is referred to as a “junior tranche”.  The plumbing shows up in the SEC filing  This goes beyond theory. Strategy informed on June 29, 2026, that its board had approved a “Digital Credit Capital Framework,” which was later explained in its SEC filing. This framework is made up of five components:ComponentWhat Strategy authorized or changedUSD Reserve policyMaintain a minimum reserve equal to at least 12 months of expected preferred-stock dividends and interest obligations.STRC dividend policyRevise the variable dividend policy for STRC, including

Former Banker Says the Real AI Trade Isn't Chips, It's Electricity: 4 Stocks to Watch

Analyst and former banker Felix Prehn published a thread on August 24 arguing that most retail investors missed the 500% to 1,000% gains already seen in Palantir, Intel, and Seagate.  He now points to four companies sitting at what he calls the true bottleneck of artificial intelligence: electricity.  This article is not financial advice. Stock prices are volatile, past performance does not guarantee future results, and readers should conduct their own research or consult a licensed advisor before making any investment decision.  Why Power Companies Became the New AI Trade  Prehns thesis centers on a structural shortage rather than a speculative narrative. Big Tech companies are signing long-term contracts to secure nuclear and other generation capacity, even as hundreds of billions of dollars pour into chips and data center construction.  If you missed Palantir at $20, Intel at $45 or Seagate at $95, youre not alone.  Each stock ran 500-1000% in the next 12 months, and most retail investors missed it.  I went hunting for the next stocks that could go on a similar run as these, and came across these 4:????  — Felix Prehn ????

GBP/USD holds near highs: Focus turns to key events later this week

GBP/USD is holding at 1.3627 on Tuesday. In the final full week of August, the pair remains near its highest level since mid-February. Sterling is being supported by dollar weakness following the US Treasurys unexpected decision to at least double its purchases of long-term government bonds.  Investors are also awaiting details of new sanctions against Iran. The highlight of the week will be Fed Chair Kevin Warshs speech at Jackson Hole on Friday, which could shape expectations for the future trajectory of US interest rates.  In the UK, money markets continue to price in one Bank of England rate hike before year-end and a further 25-basis-point move by early 2027. July inflation accelerated to 2.9% – the highest since March – while core inflation came in above expectations at 2.6%.  Further support for the pound is coming from strong domestic data: PMIs point to a pick-up in business activity, while consumer confidence climbed to a two-year high in August. At the same time, high inflation remains the key risk, potentially fuelled by a protracted conflict with Iran and elevated energy prices.  Technical analysis  On the H4 GBP/USD chart, the market has nearly reached the local upside target at 1.3672 and is forming a narrow consolidation

Standard Chartered to Distribute Hong Kong Stablecoin

Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong), or SCBHK, has become the first bank authorized to distribute HKDAP, a regulated Hong Kong dollar-backed stablecoin issued by Anchorpoint Financial.  On Monday, the bank said it is engaging eligible institutional clients and partners on uses including tokenized fund settlements, treasury operations and cross-border payments during a phased rollout.  Standard Chartereds addition expands HKDAP distribution into conventional banking nearly two weeks after Anchorpoint began beta access through HashKey Group and OSL. SCBHK said it expects to introduce new commercial applications over the coming months.  The bank plans to introduce HKDAP-based subscriptions and settlements for tokenized money market funds with international and local asset managers in the fourth quarter. It also intends to use the stablecoin in intragroup settlements across its banking network in the near term.  “Since Anchorpoint received its stablecoin issuer licence, we have seen strong interest from clients exploring how HKDAP can support their business needs,” SCBHK CEO Mary Huen said in the announcement.  She added that SCBHKs distribution could support payments, settlement and treasury management while providing eligible clients with access through a regulated banking channel.

Bitcoin Crosses $80,000 As Treasury Policy Shift Revives ETF Demand

Bitcoin pushed back above $80,000 for the first time since May, a level that looked far away after the June flush carried the market toward $58,000. The 38% rebound from that low has been driven less by a single catalyst and more by a shift in U.S. Treasury policy that brought ETF buyers back into spot markets, according to the original report.  That dynamic is different from earlier rallies. For much of the cycle, bitcoins price was explained through halving supply math, ETF approval momentum, or speculative altcoin rotation. This move is tied to the rates complex. When U.S. Treasury conditions ease, the opportunity cost of holding a non-yielding asset drops. Traders who exited in June because the macro setup looked hostile are being forced to reconsider the same trade at higher prices.  The June flush was not a slow drift. It compressed positioning quickly and left many spot buyers underwater, which made the recovery harder to accept when Treasury signals turned. That is one reason the rally has felt under-owned even as price action improved. Under-owned rallies can extend further than they look, but they also produce sharp reversals when the macro catalyst pauses.  Treasury Policy Reaccelerates the Recovery  The Treasury shift matters

Monad proposes wallet upgrade for passkeys, recovery and quantum security

Monad has proposed a wallet security upgrade that would let users replace lost or outdated cryptographic keys while keeping the same blockchain address and assets.  According to Monad, the proposal would separate a Monad accounts permanent address from the authentication credentials used to authorize transactions, opening a path for key rotation, social recovery, passkeys and post-quantum security without forcing users to create another wallet.  A new MIP has been published: Flexible and Upgradeable Account Authentication  Accounts can change their keys without changing their address  This lets accounts upgrade to quantum-resistant schemeshttps://t.co/Ajhnr3zwST  — Monad (@monad) August 24, 2026  Under the current model used by most Ethereum-compatible wallets, an externally owned account is closely tied to its private key. Losing that key can permanently remove access to the assets held by the account, while adopting a different security method can require users to create another address and transfer their holdings.  Monad researchers Kushal Babel and Jan Camenisch have proposed changing that relationship so an address could continue to identify the same account even when its authentication credentials are replaced.  The authors described the design as a way to support “post-quantum accounts, social recovery” and user-friendly authentication methods such as passkeys at the protocol level.

CLARITY Act Senate Cloture Motion Filed by Thune

Senate Majority Leader John Thune filed a cloture motion on the motion to proceed to H.R. 3633, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, earlier this month. The same record also shows Thune made the underlying motion to proceed, the procedural step that precedes any cloture vote.  This is not simply a scheduling notation. It is the mechanism by which the Senate decides whether the CLARITY Act even reaches the floor for debate, a threshold that has stalled prior crypto market-structure bills before they ever got a substantive vote.  Senator John Thune  More than two months elapsed between that committee action and the motion to proceed, a gap that reflects competition for floor time rather than any documented objection recorded in the bill‘s action history. Recent analysis of the bill’s Senate passage prospects has flagged that timing, not committee substance, as the binding constraint heading into fall.  DISCOVER: Best Meme Coins to Buy in 2026  The CLARITY Act Mechanism: Why 60 Votes, Not 51, Decide the Next Step  Cloture on a motion to proceed generally requires three-fifths of the Senate, or 60 votes, to end debate over whether the chamber will take up a bill at all. This threshold, standard under Senate procedure, means Republicans need Democratic

Bitcoin's 'Final Boss' Is Revealed

The 365-day moving average around $83,000, which may prove to be one of Bitcoins most significant technical tests, is now within striking distance of the asset thanks to its comeback. Bitcoin is currently trading between $80,000 and $81,000 after an incredible comeback from the $63,000 to $64,000 range.  Even more challenges to come  Several significant moving averages, including the long-term trend line close to $71,850, have already been crossed by Bitcoin on the daily chart. The next significant challenge is just a few thousand dollars away. The 365-day moving average is estimated to be around $83,057 by CryptoQuant.  BTC/USDT Chart by TradingView  Because Bitcoin is currently trading below its annual average price, this level merits special attention. Therefore, recovering it would be a much stronger trend signal than breaking a level of short-term resistance. Additionally, the historical chart explains why $83,000 can be considered the “final boss” for Bitcoin right now.  In the past, the 365-day average was a crucial barrier separating broader bullish and bearish structures. During its significant drop, Bitcoin lost the average and has not yet risen above it. However, there is a lot of risk involved in the immediate setup. The daily RSI for Bitcoin has increased to about 83, indicating

Tethers $120 million Uruguay mining failure now shadows its next Bitcoin bet in Brazil

Tether‘s abandoned Bitcoin mining venture in Uruguay, where a former contractor estimated spending reached about $120 million across two sites, is casting a shadow over the stablecoin issuer’s smaller renewable-energy pilot in Brazil.  Related Asset Tether USDT · Stablecoin  The Uruguay project unraveled after Tethers local entity, Microfin, and state utility UTE disagreed over the terms governing electricity use, Reuters reported. Microfin understood its contracted allocation as a minimum that could be expanded, while UTE treated it as a maximum.  The dispute was underway by late 2024. Microfin stopped paying power bills in May 2025, notified UTE the following month that it planned to terminate the contracts, and later failed to complete revised terms. UTE disconnected the sites on July 25.  Related Asset Bitcoin BTC · $79,216.88 24-hour change: up 2.10%  By November, Tether, the USDT issuer, had notified labor authorities that it would cease operations and lay off most staff. Microfin settled the outstanding UTE debt in December.  A former contractor estimated Tether spent roughly $60 million at each of the two sites in Uruguays Florida department. The approximately $120 million figure is an estimate of spending, not a confirmed loss disclosed by Tether.  The collapse contrasts with Tether‘s 2023 launch of the venture, when the
