Odaily Planet Daily News Privacy-focused public chain Zano activated its sixth hard fork (HF6) at block height 3,833,000 on August 31. The upgrade is now live on the mainnet, marking the largest upgrade in the network's seven-year history.

HF6 introduces Gateway Addresses, providing centralized exchanges, DEXs, and cross-chain bridges with directly trackable single balances and instant synchronization, while preserving existing addresses and their privacy model. Native ZANO can now be transferred non-custodially across chains to Ethereum, Solana, and TON, where it becomes public on external networks, and privacy protection is restored upon transferring back to Zano.

The upgrade also tightens consensus validation rules and enhances wallet encryption, mining pool fault tolerance, payment IDs, anti-DoS restrictions, SOCKS5 proxy, and RPC interfaces.

HF6 is a prerequisite for the EVM-compatible chain Zano Execution Layer, which is currently in development and has no fixed launch date yet; the next-generation consensus protocol Zenith has been included in the 2027 roadmap. (Bitcoin.com News)

Odaily News According to CME FedWatch tool data, as of 11:40 AM ET on August 31, there is a 66% probability that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will raise the federal funds rate target range by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4.00% at its September meeting.

The Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates since 2022 to address rising inflation. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh stated at a recent Jackson Hole symposium that the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index has risen 3.7% over the past 12 months and 4.1% over the past six months, both above the 2% target, emphasizing that controlling prices should be the current top priority.

Barclays expects the Fed to raise rates twice more this year, in September and December, for a cumulative increase of 50 basis points, bringing the federal funds rate target range 50 basis points higher than current levels. (Forbes Digital Assets)

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.

Odaily星球日报讯 摩根大通市场情报团队认为，本周五美国非农就业数据公布后，标普 500 指数走弱的可能性更大。以 Andrew Tyler 为首的摩根大通团队预计，就业数据公布后可能出现“好消息就是坏消息”的市场环境，并认为新增就业 3 万至 7 万人是对市场而言恰如其分的区间。

分析师预期新增 5.5 万人。“更强劲的非农就业数据可能推高债券收益率，拖累股市。其逻辑是，就业增加会带来更多消费，而这种整体强劲态势又会增强企业进一步招聘的信心，”该团队在报告中称。“不过，如果数据大幅低于预期，例如再次出现就业人数下降，则可能重新引发市场对滞胀的担忧。”

Odaily News: Gold extended its decline on the last trading day of August. In the previous session, international spot gold plunged more than 3%, marking its biggest single-day drop since June 10. On Monday, it briefly fell below $4,400 per ounce during trading before paring losses. On the surface, this pullback stems from hawkish signals from Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh, but the deeper shift lies in the fact that the "dollar depreciation" expectations that had been driving gold's rally are now facing a counterattack from higher interest rates and higher Treasury yields.

Clearly, gold is currently facing an unfavorable combination: rising oil prices are pushing up inflation, making the Fed more likely to maintain high rates or even hike further, while rising bond yields further erode gold's appeal. Market observers believe that the U.S.'s massive fiscal deficit, expanding government debt, and the Treasury's intervention in the bond market will provide long-term support for gold. As long as investors continue to worry about long-term debt and currency purchasing power, this "depreciation trade" is unlikely to completely disappear.

Odaily Planet Daily News BlackRock's BUIDL fund has seen its asset scale rebound to approximately $2.8 billion, once again surpassing Circle's USYC to become the largest tokenized U.S. Treasury product. BUIDL accounts for roughly 18.5% of the $15.1 billion tokenized Treasury market.

Launched in March 2024 and managed by blockchain asset services firm Securitize, BUIDL currently spans 8 blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Aptos, and BNB Chain. Each token targets a net asset value of $1, with daily yield accumulation through a rebalancing mechanism.

Odaily News - The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plans to repeal existing rules governing shareholder proxy proposals at listed companies. Last week, the SEC submitted the relevant proposal to the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review, marking the latest step in formally advancing the regulatory adjustment.

This move is part of SEC Chairman Paul Atkins' efforts to reshape the relationship between shareholders and management at listed companies. Current rules allow eligible shareholders to submit proxy proposals to listed companies and seek to include related resolutions in corporate shareholder meeting votes.

If the rules are ultimately repealed, the ways in which shareholders of listed companies participate in corporate governance, submit proposals, and influence management decisions could undergo significant changes, potentially also altering the dynamics between activist investors and listed companies.

The plan remains under regulatory review at this stage, and the final rules and specific implementation details have yet to be determined. (Bloomberg)
