Japanese Government Bond Yields Hit Nearly 30-Year High, Fiscal Expansion Space Under Pressure
Japan's 10-year government bond yield briefly rose to 2.945% this week, marking a nearly 30-year high and approaching the critical 3% level assumed in the Japanese government's budget. Rising yields are increasing pressure on government debt servicing, undermining Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's room to pursue large-scale fiscal expansion and growth investment. The Japanese government has allocated 31 trillion yen for debt servicing in the current fiscal year; if long-term yields remain above 3%, debt financing costs could significantly exceed the budget.
Crypto Violent Heists Exceed $30 Million in 2026, France Becomes a Hard-Hit Area
According to The Block, data from blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis shows that violent robberies targeting cryptocurrency holders in the first half of 2026 have resulted in losses exceeding $30 million. If the trend continues in the second half, the full-year total will surpass the historical peak of $58 million in 2025. France has become the world's largest "Wrench Attack" hotspot, with 30 public cases recorded in the first half of 2026, while the French Minister of the Interior stated that actual cases exceed 70. Chainalysis attributes this to the 2024 French tax authority data breach—a tax official was suspected of stealing and selling the names, addresses, holdings, and tax records of high-net-worth crypto holders, causing the attack frequency to surge from a monthly average of 1.9 in 2025 to a monthly average of 4.6 in the first half of 2026. Attack methods have also deteriorated; cases targeting family members rather than the holders themselves now account for over 40% of French cases, and the proportion of home invasions rose from 14% in 2025 to 37%. Stolen funds are typically quickly moved on-chain, with some laundered through tools such as decentralized exchanges and cross-chain bridges; advanced criminal networks are even linked to cartel money laundering and terrorist financing channels.

Odaily Odaily News According to the latest weekly report from Gate Ventures, global markets continued to strengthen last week, driven by the technology sector. Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq index hit new record highs, with the S&P 500 gaining 2.36% for the week and the Nasdaq rising 4.52%. In the crypto market, BTC rose 4.6% last week, ETH rose 2.1%, spot BTC ETFs recorded net inflows for the fifth consecutive week, and market sentiment recovered to the neutral range. Additionally, the total market cap of cryptocurrencies excluding the top ten assets increased by 12.6% for the week.On the macroeconomic front, the ISM Services Price Index rose to 70.7, a two-year high, coupled with energy price fluctuations and the Federal Reserve's policy expectation of "keeping interest rates higher for longer," leading to increased market focus on a "stagflation" environment. On the industry level, Payward, the parent company of Kraken, has applied to the OCC for a national trust charter, highlighting the increasingly evident trend of industry compliance. In terms of investment and financing, 10 deals were completed last week totaling $34.2 million, primarily concentrated in the DeFi and infrastructure sectors.

Gate Ventures: Stock Indices Hit New Highs Amid Policy Divergence, Market Uncertainty Rises
according to Gate Ventures' latest weekly report, the global market performance is generally stable, but inflationary pressures and policy divergences are rising simultaneously. The S&P 500 topped the 7,200 mark for the first time. The Fed kept interest rates unchanged but showed major internal divisions. Compounded by volatile oil prices due to supply shocks in the Strait of Hormuz, market expectations of "stagflation" have intensified. Against this backdrop, the crypto market remains in a consolidation pattern, with BTC largely flat and ETH experiencing a slight pullback. ETF fund flows are diverging, and market sentiment remains cautious.At the industry level, the CLARITY Act has clarified the boundaries for stablecoin yields, further promoting a clearer regulatory framework. EURC is seeing rapid growth in Spanish retail payment scenarios, indicating that localized stablecoin applications are coming to market. The Solana ecosystem is advancing its post-quantum signature scheme, Falcon, reflecting the industry's forward-looking layout for long-term security.

The infrastructure track continues to dominate. Among these, Four Pillars completed a Series A funding round to strengthen institutional-grade research and infrastructure capabilities. Belo secured $14 million in a funding round led by Tether, accelerating the expansion of its stablecoin payment network in Latin America. Overall, capital continues to concentrate towards infrastructure and cross-asset platforms, driving the industry's accelerated evolution towards institutionalization and multi-asset integration.
Standard Chartered Bank Analyst: US Treasury Expands Long-Term Bond Buyback, BTC May Hit $100,000 by Year-End
According to Cointelegraph, Standard Chartered Bank analyst Geoff Kendrick pointed out in the latest client report that the U.S. Treasury announced the scale of 10- to 30-year Treasury bond buybacks will be at least doubled from $2 billion per operation to $4 billion, with an execution period from September 9 to November 4. This policy drove long-term U.S. Treasury yields down significantly, effectively alleviating selling pressure in the bond market. Kendrick stated that such government liquidity interventions have historically been bullish for Bitcoin, and coupled with its fixed supply attribute, BTC is expected to hit $100,000 before the end of the year. Technically, he views $65,500 as a key support level; once effectively broken above, it can confirm that the bottom of this cycle has appeared.
Bitcoin Small-Value Transfers Hit New High Since FTX Collapse, Coldcard Security Incident Sparks Self-Custody Debate
as the suspected hacking incident involving Coldcard wallets continues to unfold, Bitcoin small-value transfers have surged significantly, reaching their highest level since the FTX exchange collapse, reigniting market discussions on Bitcoin self-custody security.Julio Moreno, Head of Research at CryptoQuant, disclosed data on X platform showing that the number of on-chain Bitcoin transfers below 1 BTC has risen to its highest level since November 2022, with approximately 39,600 BTC transferred in a single day—only about 300 BTC below the record of 39,900 BTC set on November 16, 2022, just days after FTX filed for bankruptcy. He believes that users proactively taking action to address risks is a positive signal. Additionally, Eric Balchunas, Senior ETF Analyst at Bloomberg, noted that Bitcoin ETFs, backed by a mature regulatory framework and convenience, may offer some users a safer investment approach.However, industry insiders point out that the Coldcard incident more likely reflects issues with a single wallet provider or specific security processes, rather than indicating a failure of the entire Bitcoin self-custody system. This event once again highlights the importance of security awareness, risk diversification, and wallet usage habits in personal asset management.
Texas 2025 Crypto Kiosk Fraud Losses Hit $56.8 Million, Lawmakers Consider Measures Beyond Regulation
Odaily News: Data submitted by the FBI to a legislative committee shows that in 2025, losses related to cryptocurrency kiosks in Texas reached $56.8 million, involving 1,179 complaints, ranking first among all U.S. states. Nationwide, related complaints totaled 13,460, with reported losses surging 58% year-over-year to $389 million. Cryptocurrency kiosks accept cash and convert it into cryptocurrency, typically located at gas stations and convenience stores. According to Texas Tribune data, there are approximately 4,000 such machines in Texas. Scammers often trick victims into withdrawing cash from their bank accounts and depositing it into the machines. Jesse Saucillo, Deputy Commissioner of the Texas Department of Banking, stated that once funds are transferred out, recovery is nearly impossible, as the money typically flows to non-custodial wallets and then into mixers and other channels. He added that AI-generated impersonation content of police and state agencies has made phone-based scams more deceptive. AARP data shows that since 2023, around 30 U.S. states have enacted laws related to cryptocurrency kiosks. Indiana imposed a full ban on such machines in March, with Tennessee and Minnesota following suit. Texas House Committee Chairman Rep. Cole Hefner said the state will consider measures that go beyond the scope of regulation.
Analysis: Bitcoin Long-Term Holders' Holdings Hit All-Time High, Potentially Signaling an Earlier Cycle Bottom
Odaily News According to Cory Klippsten, CEO of Swan Bitcoin, the holdings of Bitcoin long-term holders have risen to a record high, potentially indicating that the bottom of this crypto market cycle could emerge earlier than in the past. Data from on-chain analytics platform Glassnode shows that long-term holders (those holding coins for at least 155 days) currently possess approximately 14.7 million BTC, a historic high, suggesting that seasoned investors are continuing to "hold" their coins, reflecting strong market confidence. The on-chain data also reveals that since November 2025, the supply held by long-term holders has grown by about 14%, indicating the market has re-entered an accumulation phase following a period of significant liquidation.Cory Klippsten pointed out that, in historical cycles, this level of holdings typically corresponds to a cyclical bottom zone, reflecting long-term capital's firm expectations for Bitcoin's future value. He believes this could mean the bottom for the current cycle will arrive earlier than the historical average pace.However, this view contrasts with some market predictions. For example, Jiang Zhuoer, founder of Lebit Mining Pool, suggests the Bitcoin cycle bottom could appear between October and December 2026, and may be influenced by the market Net Asset Value (mNAV) cycle. Furthermore, market sentiment is also affected by the progress of US crypto regulation. Grayscale noted that the passage of the "CLARITY Act" remains uncertain; any legislative delays could prolong institutional deleveraging, creating additional downward pressure on Bitcoin's price.

BTCPay Server Hit by Critical Vulnerability Exploit, Supporters Launch Up to 3 BTC Bounty to Recover Stolen Funds
According to The Block, open-source Bitcoin payment processor BTCPay Server disclosed a critical security vulnerability being actively exploited last Friday and urgently requested users to upgrade to version 2.4.2. The vulnerability affects all versions prior to 2.4.2; attackers can use it to steal administrator macaroon authentication credentials of LND nodes, thereby fully controlling the connected Lightning Network wallets. Users such as Foundation and Citadel21 have confirmed that their Lightning node funds were drained, but BTCPay has not publicly disclosed the total amount stolen or the number of affected nodes. Currently, the official release version 2.4.2 has fixed this vulnerability, and on-chain hot wallets are not affected. The BTCPay Server Foundation has donated 0.21 BTC each to security researcher Craig Raw and Bitcoin Red Team to commend their responsible private disclosure of the vulnerability. Meanwhile, BTCPay supporters have promised to provide a bounty incentive of "10% of recovered funds," capped at 3 BTC.

Crypto Violent Heists Exceed $30 Million in 2026, France Becomes a Hard-Hit Area
According to The Block, data from blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis shows that violent robberies targeting cryptocurrency holders in the first half of 2026 have resulted in losses exceeding $30 million. If the trend continues in the second half, the full-year total will surpass the historical peak of $58 million in 2025. France has become the world's largest "Wrench Attack" hotspot, with 30 public cases recorded in the first half of 2026, while the French Minister of the Interior stated that actual cases exceed 70.

Telegram Says It Was Hit by "Takedown Extortion" Attack: Apple App Store Briefly Removed App Due to User-Implanted Violative Content
Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov stated that Telegram was briefly removed from the App Store by Apple recently, after a user implanted illegal pornographic content in a public group. The app was restored within hours.Durov said the attacker exploited a technical vulnerability to insert AI-modified illegal content into old messages within active groups, hiding the content by editing historical messages, making it difficult for regular group members to detect and report in time. This type of attack constitutes "takedown extortion," where attackers use automated accounts to implant violative content in public groups and report it to platforms like Apple, attempting to force group administrators to pay a ransom, or else exploit platform rules to get the community banned.Durov added that Telegram continuously combats illegal content through mechanisms such as user reports, AI filtering, and content hashing. This incident is not a systemic issue with the platform, but rather a targeted attack exploiting rule loopholes. He also warned that Apple's removal of the app without prior contact with Telegram could pose a risk to all mobile applications offering user-generated content (UGC), and platform developers need to strengthen their defenses against malicious reporting and "takedown attacks."

Japanese Government Bond Yields Hit Nearly 30-Year High, Fiscal Expansion Space Under Pressure
Japan's 10-year government bond yield briefly rose to 2.945% this week, marking a nearly 30-year high and approaching the critical 3% level assumed in the Japanese government's budget. Rising yields are increasing pressure on government debt servicing, undermining Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's room to pursue large-scale fiscal expansion and growth investment. The Japanese government has allocated 31 trillion yen for debt servicing in the current fiscal year; if long-term yields remain above 3%, debt financing costs could significantly exceed the budget.

Swiss National Bank's U.S. Equity Holdings Hit Record High, Reaching $191.4 Billion in Q2
Odaily News: The Swiss National Bank's holdings of U.S. equities reached a record high in the second quarter of 2026. According to its 13F filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as of June 30, the market value of U.S. stocks held by the Swiss National Bank across more than 2,300 listed U.S. companies reached $191.4 billion, up more than 10% from the previous quarter.Data shows that the allocation to U.S. equities within the Swiss National Bank's foreign exchange reserves has continued to expand. As one of the world's major central banks, the Swiss National Bank has long managed its substantial foreign exchange reserves by investing in overseas stocks, bonds, and other assets, with U.S. stocks being a key investment focus.The record-high holdings disclosed this time reflect that the Swiss National Bank continues to maintain a relatively high exposure to the U.S. stock market in its global asset allocation. However, the 13F filing only discloses holdings in U.S.-listed stocks and does not cover its entire foreign exchange reserve portfolio, nor does it represent the central bank's recent trading activity.The Swiss National Bank has previously drawn market attention due to its large holdings of U.S. tech stocks, with its portfolio encompassing numerous major technology companies. As U.S. equities, particularly those related to artificial intelligence, have continued to rise, the value of U.S. assets held by some overseas institutional investors has increased significantly.
