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.

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

Bitmine may not need to buy more ETH to reach its 5% Ethereum goal

Bitmine is still buying Ethereum, even as staking may make further purchases unnecessary to reach its 5% ownership target.  The Nasdaq-listed treasury company disclosed that it acquired 53,501 ETH in the week through Aug. 30, taking its holdings to 5.9 million tokens. More than 5.06 million ETH were already staked at an annualized seven-day yield of 2.67%.  The buying appears to have continued almost immediately.  On Sept. 1, blockchain analysis platform Lookonchain said wallets linked to Bitmine appeared to acquire another 51,000 ETH worth about $126 million from FalconX and BitGo. Bitmine had not formally confirmed that transaction in its latest corporate disclosure.  If the on-chain attribution is correct and the transfer represents an incremental purchase, Bitmine would hold roughly 5.95 million ETH. That would leave it considerably closer to its publicly stated goal of owning 5% of Ethereum.  Yet the size of the companys existing position means buying may no longer be the only way to get there.  Bitmine had 5,067,309 ETH staked as of Aug. 30. Holding that balance and the disclosed yield constant would produce roughly 135,000 ETH in staking rewards over a modeled year.

Ripple Price Analysis: Where Is XRP Heading Next Week After Defending Its 200-Day EMA?

Ripples XRP remains in a corrective phase after its sharp August breakout, with buyers struggling to regain control of the key overhead supply zone. The current structure suggests that the market may need more consolidation before another sustained directional move develops.  XRP Price Analysis: The Daily Chart  On the daily timeframe, XRPs explosive rally from the $0.94-$0.97 support zone broke the previous descending structure and pushed the price as high as roughly $1.70. However, the breakout was followed by an equally notable rejection, and the asset has since been unable to establish itself above the $1.45-$1.54 resistance zone.  The price is currently trading around $1.42, just below this major supply area. More importantly, XRP continues to hold above the long-term moving average near $1.27, which has flattened after previously trending lower. This level represents an important structural support for the ongoing recovery.  As long as the $1.27 area holds, the recent weakness can still be viewed as consolidation following an impulsive rally. A daily close above the $1.45-$1.54 resistance zone would strengthen the bullish case and could eventually bring the $1.70 high back into focus. Conversely, losing the $1.27 support would substantially weaken the structure and increase the probability of a deeper retracement toward
