Bitcoin fork asset BTCB2 once hit $1,799, with a fully diluted valuation of $20.9 billion calculated at a price of $1,000
Odaily News: Bitcoin fork asset BTCB2 hit an all-time high of $1,799 on September 5. Over the past 4 hours, its price has fluctuated between 750 and 1,000 USDC; the Neoxa USDC market recorded a 24-hour trading volume of approximately $1 million.BTCB2 originated from a chain split that occurred on August 8, 2026, at block height 961,632. The network subsequently changed its proof-of-work algorithm to Blake2 and reduced block size, and it can now be mined using Blake2-compatible ASIC miners.Neoxa Exchange and Nonkyc.io have listed BTCB2, with the former offering BTC, USDC, and USDT trading pairs, and the latter offering a USDT trading pair. Both platforms have limited liquidity, and CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko have not yet listed the asset.Based on a BTCB2 price of $1,000, its fully diluted valuation stands at approximately $20.9 billion. Since UTXOs need to be split from Bitcoin first, transactions may otherwise be vulnerable to replay attacks; the network's hash rate has risen by 30.41% over the past 7 days, reaching approximately 5.1 PH/s.

2027 North American AI data center demand is approximately 2x the deliverable supply, with power becoming the decisive constraint
Odaily Odaily News: FUNDA posted on X platform that North American AI data center demand in 2027, measured by IT load, is approximately 35GW, while actual deliverable supply is only 16.5 to 23.4GW. The overlapping range of two independent supply projections shows a gap of 1.8 to 2.1 times between demand and deliverable supply, which serves as the core of this report.Demand was cross-validated using two methods, yielding similar results. Based on CoWoS capacity build-out projections, global chip-level electricity demand in 2027 is estimated at 44 to 49GW; based on platform-by-platform bill of materials projections, the result is 48.4GW. The current market discussion range is 40 to 60GW, and the report estimates global demand at approximately 50GW, with North America accounting for about two-thirds.Supply is largely locked in, and capital investment cannot change this. Grid interconnection pathways can deliver 11 to 14GW of IT load, depending entirely on which projects enter the interconnection queue before mid-2025; applications submitted today cannot contribute to 2027 supply. Behind-the-meter installations can add 5.5 to 9.4GW of IT load after accounting for overlap, but large gas turbine orders are already booked through 2031. Since it typically takes 4 to 5 years from order placement to commercial operation, turbines ordered today will only come online between 2030 and 2032.Power delivery is the binding constraint and sits upstream of all links that project developers can accelerate through capital spending. Permitting hurdles prevent 78% of the 43GW of shelved projects from moving forward. Over the past 12 months, power-related factors have caused 60% to 70% of project delays on a megawatt-weighted basis. Next is the shortage of certified labor: skilled electricians require 10,000 hours of training, and only about 30% of the current electromechanical, piping, and HVAC workforce is located in regions hosting 70% of projects. Modular construction can compress build timelines but cannot shorten queue times, only reducing the probability of commercial operation delays by 10% to 20%.Scarcity is already reflected in pricing. Annual recurring revenue per GW across the four comparison companies ranges from $8.3 billion to $50 billion, and NBIS has signed contracts over an 18-month period at prices 3 to 4 times its existing installed base unit pricing. The significant repricing in Q1 and Q2 has concluded, and the report expects market stabilization with modest increases starting in Q4 2026. As new supply comes online, rents on a generation-by-generation basis are expected to decline by approximately 20% to 30%, while utilization rates are expected to remain high.The four power procurement pathways correspond to four different risk profiles. xAI trades speed for doubled power costs and permitting risk, holding the shortest contract duration among the four companies; CRWV converts power delivery risk into refinancing risk; NBIS operates on customer prep

Goldman Sachs: Samsung shareholder returns fall short of expectations, FCF expansion supports valuation repair
According to Chaoxiang Research, Goldman Sachs's August 23 research report notes that Samsung Electronics announced a projected shareholder return pool for 2026 ranging from KRW 90 trillion to KRW 110 trillion (median approximately KRW 100 trillion), which is lower than the KRW 150 trillion market expectation previously reported by the media. Goldman Sachs maintains its Buy rating with a common stock price target of KRW 490,000, implying a 74% upside from the current share price. The company plans to distribute cash dividends of approximately KRW 30 trillion in the third quarter, with the remainder to be implemented following confirmation in the January 2027 financial results. Goldman Sachs calculates that Samsung's cumulative free cash flow (FCF) from 2024 to 2026 will be approximately KRW 270 trillion. Based on a 50% payout ratio, the 2026 return will be about KRW 106 trillion, falling at the upper end of the guidance range. Goldman Sachs projects that the return pools for 2027 and 2028 will increase to KRW 179 trillion and KRW 232 trillion, respectively, while raising its 2026, 2027, and 2028 EPS forecasts by 1%, 7%, and 11%. At its current share price, Samsung trades at an expected 2027 price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 1.7x and a 2028 P/B ratio of 1.2x, with corresponding ROE reaching 40% to 50%. Goldman Sachs considers the risk-reward ratio to be attractive.

Insiders: CLARITY May Be Split into Multiple Independent Bills Targeting Different Market Segments
Odaily News – Andy, host of The Rollup podcast, stated on X that rumors circulating on Capitol Hill suggest the CLARITY Act has almost zero chance of passing. While Polymarket's prediction probability shows 18%, the real odds are likely only around 3%–5%.According to his sources, it is widely understood within Washington D.C. that the bill cannot pass, but no one can openly say so, as the industry has already poured tens of millions of dollars and 18 months of resources into pushing it forward. The Democratic Party's ethical scrutiny over Trump's crypto-related business interests has yet to receive substantive answers. With that in mind, the odds for YES on prediction markets appear somewhat overvalued, and NO might be a direction worth watching.Andy: "The CLARITY Act may subsequently be 'split into several independent bills,' each targeting specific segments of the crypto market. After the CLARITY Act's failure, what may follow are innovation exemptions, regulations, or sub-bills addressing stablecoins, asset tokenization, perpetual contracts, and prediction markets. At this stage, lawmakers appear more inclined toward a segmented, granular approach rather than introducing one sweeping, all-encompassing crypto bill. Based on my conversations with insiders in Washington, this is the more likely scenario in the long run."
153 compromised addresses hold 132.95 BTC, researchers still unable to reproduce Coldcard attacker's seed
Odaily News, according to Bitcoin News monitoring, new research released by @PraveenPerera shows that the Coldcard attacker appears to have first identified vulnerable addresses, then sorted them by BTC balance, and began transferring funds in batches starting from the addresses with the highest holdings. The actual transfer software used was relatively crude. One address had 225 spendable UTXOs, and the attacker happened to extract the most recent 200, leaving the earliest 25, including one UTXO worth 0.16 BTC. This is fully consistent with the 200-record limit that a blockchain API investigated by the researchers returns by default, suggesting the attacker may have failed to load the next page of data. The software even spent a 294-satoshi UTXO, reportedly increasing transaction fees by approximately 2,040 satoshis, with the spending amount clearly exceeding the UTXO's own value. Based on this, the study's author believes the tool's builder may have a stronger understanding of account balance systems than of Bitcoin's UTXO model. Although the attacker appears to have obtained victims' full seeds, at least 75 BTC remain in other addresses derived from the same seeds. The biggest mystery at present is that 132.95 BTC still remain across the 153 compromised addresses, and researchers have been unable to reproduce the seeds behind these addresses, so they cannot rule out the possibility that the attacker obtained undisclosed private device data or candidate data.
Analysts: Bitcoin Power Law Model Releases Signals, Reference Target Price Could Reach $157,800
Crypto analyst Darkfost stated in a post that over the past decade, the amplitude of Bitcoin price fluctuations around the "Power Law" trendline has been gradually decreasing, with market cycle volatility trending toward convergence. The oscillator index peak has declined from +169 in 2018 to +102 in 2025, while its daily change standard deviation has fallen from 4.81 to 2.47, representing a drop of approximately 49%. Darkfost added that as of October 3, the model’s oscillator index stood at +34.5, with Bitcoin trading at approximately $84,700. Based on that day's model parameters, an oscillator index reaching +100 would correspond to a Bitcoin price of roughly $157,800, which is about 86% higher than the current price. He also noted that $157,800 is not a fixed target price, but rather a reference level calculated based on current regression parameters. If the Power Law trendline continues to rise in the future, this reference level will increase accordingly.
DWF Labs Partner: If Trump Wins Midterm Elections and Distributes $5,000 to Every U.S. Adult Citizen, Crypto Markets May See a Bull Run
Odaily News: DWF Labs Managing Partner Andrei Grachev stated that if Trump wins the midterm elections and distributes $5,000 to every U.S. adult citizen, the scale of the distribution would be equivalent to 150% of the "helicopter money" during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of these funds could flow into the crypto market, potentially triggering a bull run similar to that of 2021. If this scenario materializes, investors should cash out their gains during the rally, as a crisis may follow.Trump previously promised that if Republicans win House and Senate seats in the midterm elections, he would distribute $5,000 "dividends" to every U.S. adult citizen. Based on approximately 240 million U.S. adult citizens, the plan is estimated to cost about $1.2 trillion.

The funds will go into the assistance fund to buy HYPE.Under this mechanism, after users bridge USDC to Hyperliquid, Circle mints the corresponding assets on HyperEVM and bills the treasury balance daily, settling every 30 days. Coinbase and Circle each stake 500,000 HYPE; if payment is not made on time, Coinbase could lose 2% of its staked amount per day.Hans stated that Hyperliquid's revenue previously came mainly from trading fees, and AQAv2 enables the platform to earn revenue from margin deposits, regardless of whether the related funds participate in trading. The first payment covers August 26 to September 24, implying an average fee rate of about 3.14%, with annualized revenue estimated at approximately $193 million at the current scale.From January 1 to September 30 this year, Hyperliquid's open interest increased from $7.72 billion to $16.4 billion, and platform margin increased from $4.34 billion to $7.22 billion; during the same period, perpetual contract cumulative trading volume was about $2 trillion, and the protocol earned $493.3 million in fees, equivalent to charging about 2.46 basis points per dollar of trading volume. Based on this year's average trading pace and the current AQAv2 fee rate, every $1 of margin can contribute about 15.4 cents in annual revenue to the protocol, of which about 12.5 cents comes from trading fees and about 2.8 cents comes from AQAv2. Hans expects that under a baseline scenario where the stablecoin market grows 20% annually and Hyperliquid maintains its current market share of about 8.7%, the protocol's annual revenue could increase from about $1.11 billion currently to $2.4 billion by the end of 2030.
