Bonk Guy: PONS's annualized revenue valuation is only 40% of PUMP's; Robinhood Chain is worth watching if it continues to grow

Bonk Guy stated on the X platform that PONS's current market sentiment may be at a long-term low, and compared it with PUMP: PONS's annualized revenue is approximately $156.8 million, with a market cap of about $375 million, corresponding to an annualized revenue multiple of approximately 2.39x; PUMP's annualized revenue is approximately $463.6 million, with a market cap of about $2.7 billion, corresponding to a multiple of approximately 5.82x.Bonk Guy said that PUMP is the leading Launchpad on Solana, while PONS is the leading Launchpad on Robinhood Chain; if Robinhood Chain continues to maintain market influence in the future, he believes PONS's current valuation is worth watching.

Typesafe AI Opens Jev Model, Monad Engineer Uses It to Build 300-Millisecond On-Chain Trading Bot

Odaily reports: AI model developer Typesafe AI has announced the opening of its System One model Jev, removing the waitlist and giving each new user $5 in credits. The project has been developed in stealth for two years and has raised $40 million in cumulative funding.Jev does not support chat; it only accepts facts and closed-ended questions, returning probabilistic results within 70 to 500 milliseconds. Input pricing is $0.042 per million tokens, and output is free. It can answer questions such as buy or sell, yes or no.In a Bitcoin price prediction test, Jev estimated a 55% probability that Binance's one-minute K-line would reach $85,000 before 2027, with probabilities of 48% and 34% for reaching $90,000 and $100,000, respectively; the corresponding Polymarket market probability for $85,000 was 81%.On September 16, Monad Chief AI Engineer Jarrod Watts connected Jev to price data and built a trading bot that submits limit orders to the Kuru on-chain order book approximately every 300 milliseconds. The bot can decide whether to buy or sell based on Jev's judgments and has been open-sourced on GitHub as jarrodwatts/jev-trader. (Bitcoin.com News)

Rune on Pump.fun Launching MemeStocks: Industry Leaders Should Drive More Innovation Rather Than Continuously Copying Proven Models

Odaily News – Crypto trader Rune (@RuneCrypto_) posted on X, stating that Pump.fun holds over $2 billion in cash, with a valuation of approximately $4.4 billion, making it one of the most influential platforms in the Meme coin market this cycle. However, since launching the Bonding Curve model, its subsequent product expansion has largely been a response to market demand already validated by other teams.Rune cited examples, noting that after Axiom's rise, Pump acquired Padre and renamed it Terminal; after fomo emerged, Pump added social features to compete for KOLs; and now that products combining Meme coins with equity-related assets have appeared on BNB Chain, Robinhood, Stonks, and Base, Pump has launched a similar MemeStocks feature.Rune stated that this strategy is not entirely ineffective—for instance, Padre's market share rose from roughly 2% to 10% after its acquisition. However, as a leading platform with substantial capital and resources, Pump should focus more on creating unvalidated new products rather than continuously replicating existing models. Otherwise, it may weaken the incentive for smaller teams to pursue product innovation, ultimately slowing the industry's overall pace of development.

Nvidia Earnings Preview: Q2 Revenue Expected to Nearly Double to $92.17 Billion, Market Focus on AI Chip Demand and Supply Chain Pressures

Odaily News Nvidia will release its fiscal 2026 second-quarter earnings after the U.S. market close. According to analyst estimates compiled by LSEG, the company's quarterly earnings per share are expected to be $2.10, with revenue projected to reach $92.17 billion.The market expects Nvidia's revenue to nearly double from $46.7 billion in the same period last year, continuing the rapid growth driven by the wave of artificial intelligence infrastructure investment. As a core supplier of AI computing power, Nvidia's GPUs are widely used to train and run advanced AI models, and the company is also involved in advancing the construction of next-generation AI data centers through financing support and other means.However, after nearly three years of significant gains, investor expectations for Nvidia have become more cautious. As of Tuesday's close, Nvidia has risen approximately 14% year-to-date, slightly outperforming the Nasdaq index. Market concerns include competitive pressure from rivals such as AMD and Google, as well as rising costs stemming from the global memory chip shortage.Currently, Nvidia is in a new product cycle, with its latest Vera Rubin AI system already being delivered to customers including Microsoft and OpenAI. Investors will focus on sales progress and supply conditions for the Rubin and Blackwell chip families, as well as the company's outlook for future AI computing power demand.Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has previously stated that he expects the current product cycle based on the Blackwell and Vera Rubin architectures to generate cumulative sales of $1 trillion by 2027. The company will hold its earnings conference call at 5:00 PM ET. (CNBC)

Bonk Guy: PONS Market Cap Should Be at Least $200 Million, Robinhood Listing Might Only Be a Matter of Time

Odaily News Trader Bonk Guy stated that the market is gradually recognizing the potential of PONS. He noted that PONS currently generates approximately $56 million in annualized revenue, with 80% used for buybacks and burns of PONS; in comparison, Pump.fun generates about $460 million in annualized revenue, with 50% used for buybacks and burns of PUMP, while PUMP is currently valued at approximately $2 billion.Bonk Guy believes that even if PONS were given only 10% of PUMP's valuation, its market cap should reach around $200 million. Additionally, Pons has contributed to roughly half of the on-chain activity on Robinhood Chain, with at least 5 tokens issued through Pons having a market cap exceeding $10 million and at least 20 exceeding $1 million.Regarding the market's recent expectations around Robinhood listings, Bonk Guy stated that as one of the main Meme coin issuance platforms on Robinhood Chain, a future PONS listing on Robinhood is, in his view, "inevitable," and the current rally is not solely driven by listing expectations.

Morgan Stanley: $3.1 Trillion in Off-Balance-Sheet AI Compute Commitments Emerge, Financing Structure Becomes a New Variable in the Supply Chain

According to Chaoxiang Research, a Morgan Stanley report dated August 24 indicates that the total disclosed off-balance-sheet commitments from hyperscalers, NVIDIA, and Broadcom have surpassed $3.1 trillion. Lease commitments total $1.1 trillion and procurement commitments $1.7 trillion, while the combined on-balance-sheet debt and lease liabilities of hyperscalers reach $770 billion. Amazon and Google's free cash flow turned negative in Q2 2026, with Meta expected to follow suit next quarter. Financing instruments are restructuring the AI compute capital structure across six dimensions: off-balance-sheet lease and procurement commitments form the first financing layer; the share of debt issuance rises from 2% in 2025 to 19% in 2026; Google frees up $110 billion by reducing share buybacks and issuing equity; Oracle records $4.6 billion in customer advance payments in Q2; and Broadcom and NVIDIA launch chip-leasing SPVs to support unrated AI labs. Morgan Stanley notes that when the financing structure itself becomes a core variable in the AI supply chain, tracking changes in off-balance-sheet commitments and accounting judgments is nearing the importance of tracking chip shipments themselves.

Grayscale: SEC's Proposed Token Financing Rules Could Benefit ETH, SOL, and BNB

According to Bitcoin.com, Zach Pandl, Head of Research at Grayscale, stated that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) proposed regulations on crypto assets could increase network activity on Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain by reducing compliance uncertainties surrounding token financing, driving more U.S. issuers and investors to go on-chain, and potentially creating value for their native tokens ETH, SOL, and BNB.

Robinhood CEO: Tokenization Will Reshape the Entire Financial System, Traditional Assets May Move Fully On-Chain

Odaily News: Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated that asset tokenization will become a major trend in the future financial markets and will ultimately transform the entire global financial system. In an interview with CNBC's Squawk Box, Tenev said that tokenization applies not only to crypto assets but will also cover traditional financial assets such as stocks, private equity, and real estate. Blockchain technology can improve asset trading efficiency, reduce intermediary costs, and give more investors access to market opportunities that were previously difficult to participate in. Tenev also discussed future financial service directions such as prediction markets and agentic trading. He stated that Robinhood is transitioning from a pure trading platform to a broader financial infrastructure provider, and hopes to leverage blockchain technology to drive the development of the next generation of capital markets."Tokenization will consume the entire financial system." Tenev previously stated that the tokenization trend is like a high-speed train that cannot be stopped, and future financial assets may gradually migrate to operate on-chain.Robinhood has been advancing its tokenization strategy in recent years, including exploring the tokenization of private company equity to give retail investors access to private markets traditionally dominated by institutions. Tenev believes there is strong consumer demand for private asset investment, and tokenization can serve as an important bridge connecting traditional finance with crypto infrastructure. Bloomberg also reported that.Industry insiders believe that as financial institutions such as BlackRock and Robinhood accelerate their deployment in real world asset (RWA) tokenization, traditional stocks, bonds, funds, and other financial assets moving on-chain are becoming a significant trend in the fintech sector. However, regulatory frameworks, asset ownership confirmation, and investor protection remain key challenges that need to be addressed for large-scale adoption. (CNBC)

Gate Stock Market Development Lead: Crypto and Stocks Are Accelerating Convergence, Ushering in a Multi-Asset Investment Wave

Odaily News In a recent interview on Cointelegraph's program Chain Reaction, Lucas Sum, Head of Stock Market Development at Gate, stated that crypto and stocks are quietly converging and increasingly becoming part of the same macro trade. He pointed out that the correlation between the crypto market and the Nasdaq index is currently higher than the five-year average, with the correlation coefficient once exceeding 0.8. Market sentiment is generally cautious at present, with more funds staying in low-risk assets such as stablecoins, as investors await clearer catalysts.Lucas Sum believes that the core narrative of the next market cycle may no longer be "crypto vs. Wall Street," but rather traditional financial assets accelerating their entry into the digital financial system through on-chain infrastructure. The scale of RWA has grown from approximately $12 billion a year ago to over $30 billion, while the scale of tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds has also reached approximately $15 billion, indicating that on-chain financial infrastructure continues to expand. Meanwhile, macro liquidity, real yields, and regulatory clarity remain key factors influencing the performance of risk assets. Against this backdrop, investors' focus is shifting from single-asset allocation to coordinated allocation across multiple asset classes. Lucas Sum noted that Gate is continuously expanding its stock business, currently covering U.S., Hong Kong, and Korean stock markets, with plans to extend further into more global markets to provide the necessary infrastructure for multi-asset investment.

Serenity: The AI Supply Chain Boom Is Far From Over, With Storage, Packaging, and Power Sectors Poised for Long-Term Demand Surge

Odaily News "White-Haired Stock God" Serenity shared insights on the AI industry chain on the X platform, noting that AI infrastructure demand is driving multiple sectors—including storage, advanced packaging, computing power financing, optical communications, power supply, and electronic components—into a long-term expansion cycle. The AI supply chain remains in a phase of rapid growth.In the storage sector, Serenity cited UBS forecasts indicating that traditional DRAM manufacturers (such as Micron) could see gross margins reach an unprecedented 95% by 2027, potentially even surpassing the gross margin levels of HBM products. Additionally, SanDisk's long-term agreements already cover approximately two-thirds of its 2028 production capacity, with minimum contracted revenue reaching $93 billion. Given its current market cap of around $239 billion, this suggests its future revenue targets could persist for years, making it difficult to simply classify the company as a traditional cyclical stock.On the cloud computing infrastructure front, CoreWeave has signed agreements to use Nvidia A100 GPUs through 2029. This is a positive development for emerging cloud computing companies such as Nebius and Iren, and it also weakens some investors' bearish thesis centered on the rapid depreciation of older GPUs.AI model companies are also continuing to grow at a pace that exceeds expectations. Frontier AI labs are still maintaining extremely rapid growth rates, and a slowdown in growth would actually be a cause for concern. The market projects that Anthropic's 2028 revenue could reach $190 billion to $200 billion.However, advanced packaging and semiconductor infrastructure remain core bottlenecks. The head of advanced packaging at TSMC has stated that in the coming years, the industry may face not only memory shortages but also tight supply of ABF substrates.Serenity concluded that the AI infrastructure supply chain is continuously expanding. From GPUs, storage, and advanced packaging to power, optical communications, and electronic components, every segment is showing a long-term demand growth trend. The AI supply chain is still in a high-speed development stage.

SEC Plans to Launch Tokenized Stock "Innovation Exemption," Allowing 24/7 On-Chain Trading of Stocks Like Apple

Odaily News: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plans to unveil two crypto-related initiatives in the coming days, while Congress's CLARITY Act remains stalled at least until September. The SEC is expected to propose "Regulation Crypto" at a public meeting on Friday, allowing projects to raise funds through token sales without completing full securities registration. The SEC also plans to introduce an "innovation exemption" for tokenized stocks, with details potentially released on Friday. The exemption would allow tokenized versions of stocks such as Apple, Tesla, and Nvidia to trade on the blockchain 24/7, with support for fractional trading and near-instant settlement. Such tokens typically track the economic exposure of the underlying stock but do not carry voting rights or dividend entitlements. The initiative falls under SEC Chairman Paul Atkins's "Project Crypto" agenda, with Robinhood Chain, Solana, and Base all having advanced related on-chain markets. (Decrypt)
