UBS: S&P 500 P/E Ratio Down 17%, Fed's Path Determines Future Market Outlook
According to Chaoxiang Research, in a research report dated September 28, 2026, UBS noted that the S&P 500's forward P/E ratio has declined 17% from its November high last year, while the 10-year US Treasury yield has increased by approximately 100 basis points year-to-date to 5.2%, placing it roughly 80 basis points above its one-year moving average. Over the past four decades, the 10-year US Treasury yield has exceeded 1.5 standard deviations only seven times. Current market pricing implies that the Federal Reserve will implement rate hikes totaling approximately 88 basis points over the next year, falling just short of the 100-basis-point threshold. UBS maintains that the Fed's path of rate hikes will determine the direction of equity markets. Historical precedent indicates that when rate hikes surpass 100 basis points within a year, the S&P 500 yields negative returns after twelve months; conversely, following moderate rate hikes, the index averages a 17.7% gain over the same period. Current pricing more closely mirrors a moderate tightening scenario. The valuation model suggests an implied upside potential of roughly 21% for the S&P 500. In terms of asset allocation, investors are advised to focus on high-growth, low-valuation sectors, including semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, refining, and diversified banks.
CZ: Bitcoin May Surpass Gold in the Next Bull Run, Current Market Cap Gap Approximately 10x
Odaily News: Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) stated at Bitcoin Asia that Bitcoin may surpass gold in the next bull market, with the current market cap gap between the two standing at approximately 10x. Ricardo Salinas Pliego estimates that if Bitcoin were to reach gold's total market cap, its price could reach approximately $1.86 million.He noted that if Bitcoin becomes a strategic reserve asset for nations, its importance could surpass that of gold; however, central banks and governments have already established systems for valuing, storing, and managing gold, and transitioning to Bitcoin will take time.Glassnode data shows that Bitcoin's 90-day correlation with gold has risen from 0.21 in March to approximately 0.57, while its correlation with the Nasdaq 100 index has fallen from 0.57 to 0.22. Other estimates indicate that its correlation with gold stands at approximately 0.59, the highest level since 2020. (Bitcoin.com News)
Morgan Stanley: Google Trades at 12% Premium, Meta at 30% Discount as Internet Giants' Valuations Polarize
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%. Upcoming catalysts include the launch of Google's Gemini 4, stabilization of Amazon Web Services (AWS) growth, progress in Meta's AI ad monetization, and shifts in the interest rate environment.
Grayscale releases research report: Zcash may see a revaluation opportunity in the privacy sector.
According to a Grayscale research report, as AI-driven financial monitoring capabilities continue to expand, the demand for financial privacy is experiencing a third wave of renewed interest, potentially benefiting Zcash (ZEC). The report notes that Zcash’s zero-knowledge proof-based shielded transaction technology conceals the sender, recipient, and transaction amount, establishing a differentiated positioning compared to Bitcoin’s transparent on-chain records. Current on-chain data shows that shielded transactions now account for approximately 90% of Zcash’s total network transaction volume, while shielded supply has reached around 4.2 million ZEC, representing 25% of the circulating supply, with both figures hitting all-time highs. In terms of valuation, ZEC holds a market capitalization of approximately $8 billion, accounting for only 0.6% of the total market cap within Grayscale's "Cryptocurrency Monetary Sector". If its market share increases to 5%, the theoretical valuation space would be roughly nine times the current level. The report also cautions that Zcash faces multiple risks, including regulatory compliance, legacy issues from historical trusted setups, quantum computing threats, and protocol upgrade execution challenges, requiring investors to conduct prudent assessments.

U.S. Senate Digital Assets Subcommittee Chair: Senate to Vote on CLARITY Act Before August Recess
Odaily News: U.S. Senate Digital Assets Subcommittee Chair Cynthia Lummis stated that the Senate will hold a vote on the CLARITY Act before lawmakers begin their August recess. The bill aims to divide federal crypto regulatory responsibilities and covers ethics, enforcement, consumer protection, and market certainty. Lummis said negotiations around the bill have been ongoing for 11 months, with Democrats proposing more than 300 pages of amendments. Current negotiations still involve sections related to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), enforcement provisions, and ethics rules for senior federal officials. On August 5, Democratic staff on the Senate Banking Committee listed five unresolved areas, including securities protection, illicit finance, national security, and presidential conflicts of interest. Donald Trump has received a bipartisan counter-proposal that would allow state attorneys general to enforce federal crypto ethics rules. Under the CLARITY Act, the CFTC and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would share regulatory oversight, establishing distinct pathways for qualifying digital commodities and securities. CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig and SEC Chairman Paul Atkins both support advancing clearer digital asset regulatory legislation.
White House Crypto Advisor: Reservations About Clarity Act Progress by Year-End, Focus on Current Regulatory Developments
Odaily News: White House crypto affairs advisor Patrick Witt and U.S. Treasury Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions Luke Pettit stated that they hold reservations about the possibility of the Clarity Act making progress by the end of the year, with the current focus being on developments at financial regulatory agencies.The two noted that during the "lame-duck" session following the congressional elections, whether the relevant crypto bill can regain momentum will depend on the election results.

Current data does not support the claim that stablecoin rewards are causing bank deposit outflows. Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad pushes back against the American Bankers Association
Odaily News: Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad has written an article rebutting the American Bankers Association's concerns about stablecoin rewards, stating that existing data does not support the claim that stablecoin platforms paying rewards will lead to deposit outflows from community banks and weaken local credit. Current law already permits such rewards, and Coinbase has been paying rewards to USDC users for over four years. Faryar Shirzad noted that from June 2019 to March 2026, community bank deposits grew by 26%, an increase of approximately $482 billion; research by Charles River Associates and the Council of Economic Advisers similarly found no significant relationship between stablecoins and bank deposits. The modification the American Bankers Association is requesting does not concern technical details in the CLARITY Act. The current text prohibits users from receiving returns solely for holding idle funds, but allows rewards for genuine activity; the amendment proposed by the American Bankers Association could expand restrictions to ordinary stablecoin use cases, and leave questions such as whether merchant rebates constitute bank interest to be decided by regulators and litigation. Faryar Shirzad calls for maintaining the existing compromise and passing the CLARITY Act, stating that the bill would grant banks new authorities in custody, staking, lending, payments, clearing, and market making.

Vitalik: Ethereum's Current Roadmap Adds New Directions Including Strong Privacy, Post-Quantum Scalability, and Native Rollups
Odaily News: Vitalik posted on X platform, stating that he has updated the 2023 roadmap diagram, overlaying the items listed at that time onto their corresponding positions in the current Strawmap. Overall, there is significant overlap between the two, but the order of some items has been rearranged—for example, quantum security has been prioritized higher; some items have been deprioritized, such as VDF and many EVM improvements; and some items have been replaced by better constructions, such as Verkle evolving into unified BT and then PBT, with state expiration being replaced by new state types. However, the most notable change is that the Strawmap includes some entirely new additions not present in the diagram, as these were not in the 2023 roadmap, reflecting shifts in priorities. The main additions include: - Giving first-class priority to strong privacy, including keyed Nonces and recent roots, parts of FOCIL, lean privacy pools, and Wormholes; - Advancing scalability around post-quantum scenarios, including leanSPHINCS signatures and aggregation, and zkzk frames; - Pushing forward the Lean specification to assist formal verification. Full formal verification of everything is now feasible thanks to modern AI; - Blob and Gas futures, a concept that did not exist in 2023; - Native Rollups—back in 2023, SNARKs were far from mature enough to consider this direction; - Opening up a more expansive design space for "the future of EVM." zkzk frames already imply that the protocol will offer users a non-EVM ISA, with the main current candidates being leanISA and RISC-V. These ISAs are simpler, more modern, and more efficient than the EVM. Once introduced, they can be opened up to all developers, transforming the EVM into an intermediate representation (IR) built on top of these ISAs, rather than a built-in feature that significantly increases base protocol complexity. However, deeper exploration in this area is still premature even for the Strawmap; - New state types are not just a replacement for state expiration, but a fundamentally different paradigm for how Ethereum scales. He noted that a common theme across the scalability space is reflected in two new ideas—state types and zkzk frames: rather than trying to maximize the extension of all Ethereum activity, it is better to create specialized mechanisms with restrictive properties that are therefore better suited for scalability, while carrying the heaviest load from current and future users and applications, such as token transfers, swaps, and privacy protocols. Another common theme is treating STARKs and AI-accelerated formal verification as first-class objects, and building Ethereum's technological future upon them. Recursive STARKs appear at multiple layers of the protocol, and one specific primitive, "aggregate to union verified dependencies," is expected to be used in three locations in the protocol: the execution layer, consensus layer, and data layer. Its safety can only be ensured thr

Analysts note that such market dynamics have historically been difficult to sustain. Current signals suggest the altcoin market is entering a more critical phase, warranting caution against local top risks.
Analysis: Current stock and Meme coin narratives depend on trading volume and transaction fees to function
Odaily News: DeFi researcher Ignas posted on X platform stating that current stock and Meme coin narratives essentially depend on trading volume and transaction fees to function. If trading volume dries up, rewards and buybacks will also disappear, thereby weakening token-holding incentives and ultimately leading to sell-offs.He cited examples: STONK, PONS, and CASHCAT all use platform fees for token buybacks or burns; INDEX uses transaction fees to purchase tokenized stocks; ZCAT funds ZEC rewards through transaction taxes. Additionally, SHROOM reinvests fees generated by the LP network back into liquidity.Ignas used Coinbase's previous cycle as an example, noting that its quarterly trading volume dropped from $547 billion in Q4 2021 to $145 billion a year later, a decline of approximately 74%, and pointed out that Meme coin trading volume could see an even more pronounced drop after the hype fades. Therefore, directly extrapolating these projects' annual revenue or yield rates based on current high trading volume and fee levels may overestimate their sustainability.
BonkGuy: Current conviction in USELESS is even stronger than BONK previously, last year's $4 million to $450 million rise was just a "test run"
Odaily News Crypto trader BonkGuy says USELESS is currently his top pick, and his conviction in USELESS now exceeds even his conviction when trading BONK at low levels in 2023.BonkGuy noted that he previously generated substantial returns through Meme coins such as BONK, WIF, Fartcoin, POPCAT, and PNUT — including turning $16,000 into over $20 million through a 6x leveraged BONK position, and growing a $6,000 WIF position to roughly $1.4 million. However, he also stated that these gains were largely wiped out during the "10/10" market conditions.Regarding USELESS, BonkGuy believes its market cap rising from approximately $4 million to $450 million last year was only a "test run," especially given it was not a bull market environment at the time. He anticipates that if USELESS experiences its first full bull market cycle, the price could see a much more significant surge.

Solana Company HSDT Supports Solana Constitution, Opposes Current Adjustments to Inflation and Fees
Odaily News: Solana Company (HSDT) has announced its voting stance on the first three Solana Governance Proposals (SGP): supporting the passage of SGP-0001 "Solana Constitution," opposing SGP-0002, which would double the rate of inflation reduction, and opposing SGP-0003, which would change transaction fees from fixed to floating. On-chain voting is expected to begin on August 22.Solana Company stated that it supports the Solana Constitution because the new governance system allows every staker to vote directly, and token holders can always override the votes of the operators they delegate to, which helps institutions participate in network decision-making. Regarding the other two proposals, the company noted that it opposes their current timing, not the direction of the adjustments. The company stated that at a time when institutions are considering entering Solana, they place greater importance on rule stability and predictability. Adjusting core economic parameters such as inflation rates and fees at this stage could make institutions still on the sidelines more hesitant. The company said it would support revisiting discussions on reducing inflation once SOL sees sustained net capital inflows, and would also be willing to reconsider switching to floating fees once the ecosystem has fully adapted.

G7 urges immediate migration to post-quantum cryptography; Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana developers have tested defense solutions
: The G7 cybersecurity working group stated in its latest report that quantum computing poses both a security threat and an economic threat to public and private institutions, and related organizations should immediately begin migrating to post-quantum cryptography (PQC).The working group noted that the migration process could take several years, as attackers can already collect and store encrypted data today and decrypt it once sufficiently powerful quantum computers emerge. Quantum computing could also break digital signatures, leading to identity theft and exposing companies and their supply chains.The report did not mention cryptocurrencies, but similar public-key cryptography is used for blockchain wallets and transaction authorization. Current quantum computers are not yet capable of breaking Bitcoin's cryptography, but developers are considering post-quantum solutions such as BIP-360.Ethereum researchers plan to replace multiple cryptographic components used by accounts, validators, and applications. The Solana Foundation has tested post-quantum signatures on its testnet and launched an optional hash-based vault. The G7 working group also urged governments to support related research, public-private cooperation, and national PQC strategies. (Decrypt)

Anthropic AI Model Weakens HAWK Minimum Key Strength in 60 Hours
: Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview model discovered a flaw in the proposed HAWK digital signature scheme, effectively halving its minimum key strength. HAWK is one of the candidate schemes to replace current network and bank signatures in a post-quantum environment. This AI-driven attack took approximately 60 hours, with a computational cost of around $100,000, reducing the effort required to break HAWK's minimum parameter set from roughly 2^64 operations to 2^38 operations, and diminishing the attractiveness of larger compensating key sizes. Current Bitcoin and Ethereum signatures remain unaffected. The results indicate that the capabilities of classical cryptanalysis attacks are improving, while Bitcoin and other networks continue to discuss when and how to migrate to quantum-resistant cryptography.

PBOC Vice Governor Lu Lei: Agent Payment Responsibility Boundaries Must Not Be Blurred; Self-Discipline Convention to Be Issued
According to Mobile Payment Network, Lu Lei, Member of the Party Committee and Vice Governor of the People's Bank of China, stated at the 15th China Payment and Clearing Forum that agent payment must not blur the responsibility boundaries among consumers, participating institutions, and algorithmic systems. Lu Lei noted that payment is essentially a transfer of fund ownership rights, which objectively requires predictable transaction outcomes, clearly defined responsibilities, and traceable records. Large models and autonomous agents exhibit characteristics such as output randomness and opaque logic. Blindly or excessively granting transaction decision-making authority to agents could undermine the trust foundation for fund transactions. Current payment industry governance rules and dispute resolution mechanisms are built around the concept of "humans as the ultimate transaction decision-makers." The emerging model in which agents automatically initiate and assist with transactions easily blurs responsibility boundaries, necessitating the optimization and enhancement of existing governance frameworks.

Bitcoin Approaches Cost Basis Range for Two Investor Groups, Potentially Impacting Current Upward Momentum
Darkfost posted on X platform stating that Bitcoin is approaching the average cost basis of two holding groups: investors holding for 18 months to 2 years have a cost basis of approximately $88,350, while investors holding for 6 to 12 months have a cost basis of approximately $89,200.Darkfost noted that cost basis represents the average holding cost of a group, not a natural support or resistance level; as the price approaches this range, the behavior of relevant investors may change, and this area can be viewed as a potential risk zone. The group of investors holding for 6 to 12 months has been at an overall loss for nearly a year, with some investors potentially having bought at market highs; some may sell after breaking even, while others may continue buying to lower their holding costs.

UBS: S&P 500 P/E Ratio Down 17%, Fed's Path Determines Future Market Outlook
According to Chaoxiang Research, in a research report dated September 28, 2026, UBS noted that the S&P 500's forward P/E ratio has declined 17% from its November high last year, while the 10-year US Treasury yield has increased by approximately 100 basis points year-to-date to 5.2%, placing it roughly 80 basis points above its one-year moving average. Over the past four decades, the 10-year US Treasury yield has exceeded 1.5 standard deviations only seven times. Current market pricing implies that the Federal Reserve will implement rate hikes totaling approximately 88 basis points over the next year, falling just short of the 100-basis-point threshold. UBS maintains that the Fed's path of rate hikes will determine the direction of equity markets. Historical precedent indicates that when rate hikes surpass 100 basis points within a year, the S&P 500 yields negative returns after twelve months; conversely, following moderate rate hikes, the index averages a 17.7% gain over the same period. Current pricing more closely mirrors a moderate tightening scenario. The valuation model suggests an implied upside potential of roughly 21% for the S&P 500. In terms of asset allocation, investors are advised to focus on high-growth, low-valuation sectors, including semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, refining, and diversified banks.
