    Hunter Biden’s LAPTOP Token Crashes Over 99% Since Launch

    Hunter Biden’s memecoin $LAPTOP is trading at $0.8832, down 99.6%, after what Biden described as a “sharp swing” in price caused by technical issues, which he said have since stabilized to healthy levels. The token remains down more than 99% since its launch. Biden also said his foundation’s official account has been suspended, but denied stepping away from the project, adding the team is working to restore access and is sharing updates via Medium in the meantime.

    Trump Pledges $5,000 Payout To Every American

    President Trump pledged a $5,000 dividend to every adult US citizen, contingent on Republicans winning control of both the House and Senate. He framed the payout as a reward tied to the country’s economic performance, comparing it to a company issuing a cash distribution to shareholders, and referenced last year’s $1,776 payment to military members as a similar precedent. “Only I can make this promise to you,” Trump said, tying the pledge directly to what he described as unprecedented economic strength and success under his administration.

    Apple iPhone 18 Cost In India: Foldable Model May Hit Rs 2.5 Lakh

    Apple’s first-ever foldable iPhone, expected to debut at today’s event, could launch in India priced around Rs 2.5 lakh, with sales possibly starting as early as November. That would put it nearly double the Rs 1,49,900 starting price of the current iPhone 17 Pro Max, setting a new price ceiling for Apple’s lineup and positioning the foldable as a genuine luxury device rather than just another premium option. The iPhone 18 Pro Max is separately expected to start between Rs 1.55 lakh and Rs 1.60 lakh in India, with higher-storage variants likely pushing close to or past the Rs 2 lakh mark. For context, the current iPhone 17 Pro Max already crosses Rs 2 lakh in its top 2TB configuration, priced at Rs 2,29,900, showing Apple has already been testing that price ceiling before the foldable arrives.

    Whales Defended Bitcoin’s $58K-$63K Zone, Says Jamie Coutts

    Analyst Jamie Coutts said the $58,000 to $63,000 range was “viciously defended” by large holders, pointing to unusually high volume on both centralized exchange charts and onchain spot data at that level. He called it Bitcoin’s current line in the sand, warning a break below would be damaging given how much capital rotated in there. Coutts also flagged Bitcoin’s relative strength against gold and tech stocks, its two closest competitors as debasement and growth plays, pointing a bullish setup on weekly charts. He said smart money has been building Bitcoin positions over the past quarter, visible in recent 13F filings, while ETF inflows are now tracking at roughly 300% of new supply.

    VerifiedX Raises $15 Million To Build Out Institutional Bitcoin Infrastructure

    VerifiedX’s Foundation has kicked off a $15 million funding round, with initial institutional investors already on board, to expand institutional access to Bitcoin. Cantor Fitzgerald is handling the investment banking side, though the Foundation hasn’t disclosed who’s backing the round or on what terms. VerifiedX Foundation member Brian May said most current ways to earn yield on Bitcoin require swapping it for someone else’s IOU, which he said explains why under 1% of institutional Bitcoin holdings currently earn any return. Deposits and withdrawals are authorized through threshold signatures spread across VerifiedX validators, with holders able to redeem to native Bitcoin at any time or run their own validators for added control.

    What To Expect From Apple Event ?

    Apple’s September 9 event is expected to bring one of the company’s biggest product announcements in years, with the first foldable iPhone potentially taking center stage. The rumored iPhone Fold or iPhone Duo is expected to feature a book-style design that opens into a larger inner display. Reports suggest the device could carry a price tag of around $2,000 to $2,299, positioning it firmly in the ultra-premium smartphone market. Apple could also reportedly use Touch ID to help keep the foldable’s design thinner. Alongside the foldable iPhone, Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, potentially featuring the A20 Pro chip, larger battery and upgraded cameras. New Apple Watch models and updated AirPods are also expected to be announced.

    Arthur Hayes Says Bitcoin Price Needs $100K Before Real Rally Begins

    Crypto investor Arthur Hayes said Bitcoin’s price action going forward is likely to move in fits and starts rather than a smooth, explosive rally, arguing that investors remain psychologically scarred after Bitcoin underperformed AI stocks over the past few years. Hayes said the market needs Bitcoin to convincingly clear $100,000 and $125,000 before investors fully commit to it as their preferred bet against renewed money printing aimed at propping up the AI sector. Hayes pointed to Bitcoin’s roughly 30% move as an example of that pattern already playing out, suggesting the market may now digest those gains for a while and potentially retest the $70,000 level before its next leg higher.

    CLARITY Act “Does Not Look Good” Republicans Warn One Week Out

    With the CLARITY Act’s cloture vote just a week away on September 15, Senate Republicans are warning the crypto market structure bill “does not look good” heading into next week. The concerns center on an unresolved ethics response from the White House and continued pushback from Senate Democrats. Even if the bill clears the Senate but stalls before reaching the House, industry watchers say that alone would count as a major win, since Senate passage is historically the hardest hurdle. The House already passed a similar version last year, meaning it would only need to review Senate updates before sending the bill to President Trump.

    Coinbase Ranks Third in XRP Rich List

    Coinbase’s XRP balance appeared to surge 4,870% to more than 5.5 billion XRP within an hour, sparking speculation that the exchange had received billions of dollars in new tokens. XRPScan later clarified that no new transfer occurred. The increase resulted from a wallet identification update that added 146 previously unlabeled Coinbase wallets to the exchange’s reported balance. Coinbase now ranks third on the XRP rich list with about 5.68 billion XRP. The update shows the apparent surge reflected wallet labeling rather than a fresh XRP purchase.

    Bitcoin Price Holds Below $79K As Treasury Preps Bigger Bond Buyback

    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is set to announce a larger bond buyback operation, with Wall Street expecting a $5-6 billion move focused on long-term bonds. A bigger buyback could reduce the supply of net long-dated debt and help contain elevated yields, with the announcement timed ahead of upcoming 10 and 30-year Treasury auctions. Bitcoin is consolidating just below $79,000, with the daily RSI moving away from overbought territory. Despite the pause, weekly chart momentum remains bullish, with continued ETF inflows and treasury company buying. Bitcoin treasury firm Strive purchased another 1,375 BTC, while Tom Lee’s Bitmine added to its Ethereum holdings, now near 5% of total ETH supply at 20,086 ETH.

    Pi Network’s Protocol 27 Upgrade One Week Away

    Pi Network’s Protocol 27 upgrade is set to launch September 15, just seven days out. Described as the final upgrade in the network’s current development line, Protocol v27 brings enhanced smart contract authentication, giving accounts and applications more sophisticated transaction authorization while expanding the network’s smart contract capabilities. Node operators must upgrade to version 27.1 before the deadline to stay connected to Mainnet, though users and miners don’t need to take any action. The upgrade is also expected to support new DEX and AMM liquidity features as the ecosystem develops. PI is currently holding above $0.095, with traders watching for a break above $0.10.
