Strategy aims to allocate more Bitcoin volatility and upside potential to common stockholders through its capital structure, while providing STRC investors with dollar income, lower price volatility, and shorter duration characteristics. Saylor said the company's goal is to transform non-yielding Bitcoin capital into income-generating corporate securities through "stripping volatility, compressing duration, and extracting yield."

Odaily reports: Veteran trader Peter Brandt says Bitcoin has likely bottomed out for this cycle and entered a new bull market. He has raised his cycle top forecast from the previous $250,000 to $300,000 to $300,000 to $600,000 by late 2029, adding that hitting $500,000 is "very likely."

However, Peter Brandt warns that Bitcoin could pull back to $65,000 to $66,000 in early October to flush out momentum chasers. Brandt is also skeptical of XRP's investment value, calling it a "fool coin," and said that XRP having payment use cases and Ripple having banking partners does not necessarily mean its value will rise.

Odaily reports that according to Lookonchain monitoring, a whale withdrew 7,500 ETH worth $20.5 million from Binance in the past 30 minutes.

Odaily reports that DeFi researcher Ignas posted on X platform stating that he originally worried tokenomics innovation had stagnated, but that is not the case. After going through a cycle of low-float, high-FDV token launches, the crypto industry is once again experimenting with new token mechanisms,

Ignas cited examples: ZCAT provides ZEC rewards to holders through a 3% transfer tax; BUN/Mosh uses a "Bundle Launch" to let funding supporters share trading fees but prevents them from withdrawing LP; STONK uses fee revenue for market-cap-weighted buybacks and burns of the top 15 compliant tokens; VVV/DIEM allows users to stake VVV to mint DIEM, then stake DIEM to obtain daily AI credits; ORBIO converts trading fees into AI credits for stakers; and BP requires staking for at least 1 year to qualify for future IPO equity conversion, with token supply unlocks determined by project growth milestones.

Ignas believes the common thread among these projects is the attempt to make tokens no longer just fundraising tools, but assets with real value. However, he pointed out that many of these mechanisms still rely on speculators continuing to trade, and "speculation" still dominates the crypto market.
