Odaily News: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are advancing cryptocurrency regulatory rulemaking, having solicited public comments on the definitions of swaps, security-based swaps, and emerging products, as well as on the boundaries of regulatory jurisdiction.Former CFTC Chairman Chris Giancarlo, former CFTC commissioners Brian Quintenz and Sharon Brown-Hruska, and former SEC commissioner Steven Wallman, among others, stated in a joint letter supported by Kalshi that similar risks should be subject to similar regulation, avoiding overlapping rules that increase compliance costs.Kalshi estimates that offshore perpetual contract trading volume will exceed $9 trillion in 2025, up from approximately $2.8 trillion two years ago. Chris Giancarlo said that if U.S. regulation is calibrated to actual risk rather than maximum burden, related liquidity could flow back to the United States.Last week, the SEC submitted proposed revisions to custody rules for investment advisers and investment companies to the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) for review, aiming to clarify requirements for regulated investment institutions providing digital asset custody services. The SEC's "Reg Crypto" proposal has been published in the Federal Register, with public comments open until October 20. (Decrypt)

For option buyers, this mode has no forced liquidation like perpetual contracts—positions will simply expire worthless or be exercised if in-the-money at expiration.

: Blockchain technology company Starkware stated that on August 26, a transaction using researcher Avihu Levy's Quantum-Safe Bitcoin (QSB) scheme was mined on the Bitcoin mainnet, without requiring a soft fork, hard fork, or modification of consensus rules.The transaction consumed 10,000 sats and was processed through MARA Foundation's Slipstream service, as the non-standard format typically cannot propagate through Bitcoin's public mempool. The test consumed several hours of GPU computation, costing approximately $150 to $200.QSB employs hash-based quantum-resistant spending conditions and reduces quantum attack risks through signature trial mining, but still requires users to proactively migrate funds and cannot protect assets whose public keys have already been exposed. Starkware CEO Eli Ben-Sasson still supports introducing a protocol-level solution via a soft fork. (Bitcoin.com News)

Odaily News: SemiAnalysis posted on X that AMD middle managers are spending the time of more than 20 engineers trying to expand their sphere of influence and secure promotions through a useless side project called the "ATOM Inference Engine," rather than allocating those resources to inference engines actually being used by real customers like Meta and xAI, such as SGLang and vLLM.SemiAnalysis said that dozens of AMD engineers, including principal engineers and AMD Fellows, have privately contacted the firm, stating that due to internal office politics at AMD and support from some middle managers, they are unable to discuss their concerns internally. Middle managers are consuming the time of more than 20 full-time engineers to develop this side project with almost no customers, and the engineers involved are all "10x engineers" who should have been dedicated to developing customer-facing inference engines like vLLM and SGLang.SemiAnalysis said that middle managers will likely respond by pointing to the only customer using the project in a production environment—Alibaba, based on Qwen—but further investigation shows that this is merely a limited deployment of ATOM by Alibaba's enterprise business unit, not the main business unit behind Qwen.SemiAnalysis stated that AMD management has diverted resources and limited internal GPU R&D clusters away from engineers supporting production-grade inference engines such as vLLM and SGLang, instead using them to expand their own influence and engage in office politics, showing a profound lack of respect for AMD engineers.

According to Chaoxiang Research, a Morgan Stanley report dated August 25 noted that the internet sector declined by an average of 2% last week, with Meta down approximately 7%, Amazon down roughly 2%, and Google virtually flat. Current forward P/E ratios for 2026 stand at 19x for Amazon, 17x for Google, and 17x for Meta, reflecting discounts of 36%, a premium of 36%, and a discount of 24% relative to historical averages, respectively. On an EV/EBITDA basis, Amazon at 11.2x represents a 12% discount to its two-year average, Google at 15.1x implies an 8% premium, and Meta at 8.7x reflects a 30% discount. Morgan Stanley maintains an "Attractive" rating on the internet sector, highlighting that AI capabilities are emerging as a core variable driving valuation divergence. The sector's overall forward EV/EBITDA is 9% below the five-year average, while EV/Sales is 16% above it, underscoring a divergence between revenue and profit multiples. After reclassifying stock-based compensation as a cash expense, the adjusted EV/EBITDA for digital media rises by approximately 36% on average, e-commerce by 30%, and travel and the sharing economy by 44%.

According to Bitcoin.com, Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy (MSTR), introduced the concept of "Bitcoin Reformation" in a published article, arguing that Bitcoin should move beyond dogmatic interpretations of early tenets such as Satoshi Nakamoto, the whitepaper, and the "must self-custody" principle, and further integrate into banking, exchanges, corporate sectors, securities markets, and government systems. Saylor stated that while self-custody remains an essential right allowing holders to freely opt out of intermediary systems, it should not be imposed as a mandatory obligation on everyone; users can also evaluate institutional services based on criteria such as custody segregation, collateral, audits, insurance, and withdrawal rights. He believes that Bitcoin has gradually evolved from a peer-to-peer electronic cash system and "digital gold" into "digital capital" capable of supporting credit, equity, currency, and machine economies.
According to Chaoxiang Research, Morgan Stanley's August 25 research report indicated that Semtech's Q2 data center revenue reached $100 million, up 39% quarter-over-quarter and 91% year-over-year, marking a record high. Growth was primarily driven by the sustained strength of the 800G FiberEdge and faster-than-expected qualification of the 1.6T FiberEdge. The 1.6T FiberEdge and CopperEdge are projected to account for over 50% of data center revenue in Q3. The Q3 data center revenue guidance reflects a 45% quarter-over-quarter increase and a 160% year-over-year increase, reaching $145 million. The LoRa business also recorded record revenue of $58 million in Q2, up 31% quarter-over-quarter and 58% year-over-year, with an additional 15% increase expected in Q3. Morgan Stanley raised its price target from $175 to $195 while maintaining a Neutral rating, based on 34.5x non-GAAP EPS of $5.66. Revenue forecasts for FY2027 and FY2028 have been raised to $1.529 billion and $1.895 billion, respectively, with gross margins upgraded to 56.9% and 62.7%, and EPS increased to $3.69 and $5.65. In Q4, ACC (active copper cable) is slated for mass deployment at major hyperscale customers, creating a synergistic effect alongside 800G and 1.6T solutions. The company has announced the divestiture of its module business, which is expected to drive structural improvements in gross margin and operating margin. As disclosed in this research report
