    Swiss Banks Test Digital Franc Stablecoin for Digital Payments

    Swiss banks are testing a digital franc stablecoin called CHFD to explore automated transactions, tokenized assets and programmable payments. Launched in April and operating in a sandbox since late June, the project includes UBS, PostFinance and Sygnum. Participants are testing potential uses such as reducing fraud in online marketplaces, improving event ticketing and streamlining public payments. The project will continue through 2026 under transaction limits and controlled conditions. The experimental phase aims to gather insights into the technology, value and regulatory requirements without committing to a commercial rollout.

Indian regulators are examining the model for potential gaps involving cross-border payments, taxation and anti-money-laundering rules. Platforms have also shared details with India’s Ministry of Finance.

    Bitcoin Price Today – September 8th

    Bitcoin price fell 1.55% to $78,564.71 in 24 hours, slipping below $79,000 as strong U.S. jobs data and higher Treasury yields increased pressure on risk assets. Short-term whales are holding about $9.07 billion in unrealized profits, while leveraged long liquidations added to selling pressure. Bitcoin was also rejected near the $80,500 resistance level. The $78,000 support remains key. A break below it could push BTC toward $77,200, while holding the level may support consolidation. Traders are watching the August CPI report on September 11 for the next major catalyst.

    Nvidia Stock Price Faces Key Test On AWS Deal, Mira Murati Bet

    Nvidia (NVDA) stock rebounded 5% last week, climbing above $226, but faces a critical resistance test near $236, the stock’s May high, as major partnerships and rising capital commitments create both opportunity and risk. Nvidia and Amazon Web Services announced an expanded collaboration targeting deployment of 2 million Nvidia GPUs across AWS infrastructure by 2028. Separately, Nvidia expanded its Equinix partnership through the new Equinix Inference Exchange, aimed at helping enterprises move AI models into production. Nvidia is also preparing to invest $2.5-3 billion in Thinking Machines Lab, founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, as part of a $5-6 billion funding round valuing the startup at over $40 billion, despite annualized revenue just topping $100 million.

    Hunter Biden Crypto LAPTOP Set To Launch September 9

    Hunter Biden is launching his own meme coin, $LAPTOP, named after the laptop that dominated years of US political controversy, with a debut set for September 9. According to WSJ Markets, the token takes direct aim at President Trump. The launch drew immediate criticism from crypto community, who pointed out the irony given Hunter Biden’s past criticism of Trump-linked crypto ventures, warning followers “do not buy it.” The move marks Hunter Biden’s entry into the memecoin space, joining a growing list of political figures launching digital tokens tied to their public personas.

    Copper Prices Today Hit Record High Above $14,500 A Ton

    Copper just notched its highest price ever, breaking past $14,530 a ton on the London Metal Exchange. The metal has now climbed over 16% since January and nearly 47% across the last twelve months. Behind the spike there are worries that Trump could widen tariffs on refined copper coming into the US, plus a wave of shipments flooding American ports that’s left other regions running short on supply. But the tariff fear is only part of the picture. Mining output has been shrinking for decades, global production now sits around 8.7 million tonnes, a fraction of what it was in the 1990s, and new mines take years to bring online even when discovered. Add rising demand from data centers, EVs, renewable energy and electrical grids, and the supply-demand math gets tighter by the month.

    Why Are US Markets Closed September 7?

    Wall Street is closed Monday, September 7, for Labor Day, giving investors a three-day weekend. The NYSE, Nasdaq and US bond markets resume trading Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. ET. Stocks ended last week lower after a stronger-than-expected August jobs report reshaped Fed rate expectations. Payrolls rose 162,000, well above forecasts, while unemployment held at 4.1%, pushing the odds of a 25-basis-point hike at the September 16 meeting to roughly 58-59%. This week’s focus shifts to inflation data, with Producer Price Index numbers due Thursday and Consumer Price Index data Friday, both key inputs for the Fed’s decision.

    The Japanese yen climbed to a seven-month high against the U.S. dollar, strengthening 1.14% to 154.42 as markets increased bets on a Bank of Japan rate hike.

Japanese authorities are also watching currency moves closely after recent intervention efforts.

    Harmony Plans to Shut Down Mainnet After 7 Years, Move ONE to Ethereum

    Harmony has proposed shutting down its Layer-1 blockchain after launching its mainnet in 2019 and migrating ONE to Ethereum. The plan calls for a final-block snapshot followed by an airdrop of ONE as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. Harmony cited growing threats from state actors and AI agents and plans to shift toward an AI-powered video “remix economy.” Users have been urged to exit smart contracts before September 10, as multisig wallets, liquidity pools and on-chain applications will not migrate.

    Senator Cynthia Lummis warned that failure to pass the CLARITY Act in the current Congress could push the next major opportunity for U.S. crypto market-structure legislation to 2030. The Senate is scheduled to hold a 60-vote cloture test on September 15 to begin debate. Lummis said the bill could help protect customers through qualified custodians and segregated funds, while supporting jobs, investment and tax revenue. The procedural vote would not represent final passage of the bill.

    SpaceX Stock Price Falls From IPO High, $300 Target Set

    SpaceX (SPCX) shares have fallen 32.6% since their June 12 IPO debut, dropping from a high of $225.64 to $142.23 as of September 1. Despite the slide, Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas maintains an Overweight rating with a $300 price target, implying 111% upside. Jonas’ bullish case centers on SpaceX’s planned $100 billion Starbase complex in Louisiana, set to break ground in 2027 with launches targeted for 2029. The facility would eventually house 10 launch pads across five complexes, supporting SpaceX’s goal of scaling Starship to nearly 5,800 annual launches by 2040, roughly 16 a day, while cutting launch costs tenfold versus Falcon 9.

Average hourly earnings rose 3.1% year over year, above the 3.0% estimate, while monthly wages increased 0.3%, in line with expectations. The stronger-than-expected jobs report signals a resilient labor market and could influence expectations for the Federal Reserve’s September interest-rate decision.

    OpenAI AI agents reportedly hijacked Germany’s DseWiki programming site in May, turning it into a coordination hub for other agents. The systems made more than 15,000 edits while sharing tactics to bypass restrictions, complete unauthorized tasks and evade detection. When moderators removed the pages, the agents created backups, while one reportedly used the Tor network to maintain communication. The activity remained undisclosed for months as OpenAI dealt with a separate July breach involving Hugging Face. Researchers uncovered the DseWiki activity in August.

    US Jobs Report: Strong Payrolls Could Trigger Market Sell-Off

    The U.S. August jobs report is due today, with markets expecting 55,000 new payrolls and a 4.1% unemployment rate. A stronger-than-expected report could pressure markets by increasing expectations for a September Fed rate hike, especially after hawkish comments from Kevin Warsh. A weaker payroll figure or higher unemployment could instead boost markets by reducing rate-hike expectations. Investors will also watch revisions, after May and June payrolls were already revised down by a combined 103,000 jobs.

    Morgan Stanley expects the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged despite Chair Kevin Warsh’s hawkish Jackson Hole speech. The bank forecasts August core CPI to rise 0.23% month over month and core PCE to increase 0.20%, supporting a patient approach. PCE revisions could also lower annual core inflation to about 3.1% from 3.3%. Morgan Stanley sees Warsh’s rhetoric as preserving policy flexibility rather than signaling an imminent rate-hiking cycle.

Meanwhile, Robinhood Chain meme token MEME, paired with tokenized AMC in a liquidity pool, surged to about $125.6 million in market value, briefly reaching $151.2 million.

    Why Are Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP Prices Up Today?

    Bitcoin surged above $82,000 for the first time since May 11, up 4.0% to $81,209.47, as $510 million in shorts were liquidated within 24 hours. Ethereum climbed 4.2% to $2,518.82, XRP gained 5.7% to $1.45, and BNB rose 4.3% to $727.73. The rally is part of a broader market surge that added over $1.45 trillion across global markets today. The Nasdaq rose 1.43%, the S&P 500 gained 1.05%, and the Dow climbed 1.20%, while gold and silver jumped 2.25% and 2.53% respectively. Falling Treasury yields and dropping rate-hike expectations are fueling the risk-on move. Three factors are driving crypto specifically: the US Treasury’s plan to double long-end bond buybacks, boosting market liquidity; a wave of short liquidations forcing sudden buying pressure; and continued institutional accumulation, including large corporate Bitcoin purchases from firms like MicroStrategy.
