Odaily News: The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has filed a lawsuit against Cash FX Group S.A. and its CEO Huascar Jose Lopez Castillo, The Conversion Pros Inc. and its CEO Ronald Pope, and Justin Halladay, alleging that the defendants operated a multi-level marketing Ponzi scheme, raising over $950 million from the public, including in the United States, purportedly for retail forex contract trading.

The CFTC stated that the defendants falsely claimed funds were traded by professional traders, proprietary algorithms, and AI, and promised returns of up to 15% per week; in reality, Cash FX conducted only minimal forex trading, and nearly all participant funds were misappropriated, with funds from new participants used to pay fictitious trading profits to other participants, while millions of dollars were paid to the defendants. The CFTC also stated that Cash FX provided participants with false account statements to maintain the illusion of high trading returns, and participants lost at least $406 million. The CFTC is seeking restitution, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, civil monetary penalties, trading and registration bans, and permanent injunctions against the defendants.

Odaily News: Bitcoin fell back to around $83,600 on Friday, down about 1% from the previous trading day, after briefly touching around $87,000, reaching that level for the first time in months. Market analysis suggests that the expiry of $1.56 billion in Bitcoin options on Deribit may have exacerbated short-term volatility, as market makers typically unwind their hedging positions after options expiry.

Over the past 24 hours, BTC open interest and trading volume fell by 14.39% and 13.68% respectively, with long and short liquidations relatively balanced—long liquidations totaled $161.96 million and short liquidations $156.1 million—indicating that leveraged funds are readjusting. On the technical side, BTC's 50-day moving average remains above its 200-day moving average, forming a "golden cross," and the short-term trend is still viewed as relatively strong.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw net inflows of $299.09 million on Friday, though this was lower than the single-day inflow levels seen earlier in the week. By contrast, XRP rose 4.37% over the past 24 hours and 15.45% over the past 7 days, currently trading at around $1.58; Solana rose 3.36% over the past 24 hours and 9.33% over the past 7 days, currently trading at around $119.84. The next macro data points the market is watching are the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation data due on September 30 and the September nonfarm payrolls report due on October 2.

Odaily News: Anthropic is seeking shareholder approval for a new equity structure that would grant special shares to CEO Dario Amodei and six other co-founders, giving the seven individuals a combined 50.1% voting power over most company matters. This arrangement would be maintained as long as at least three founders continue to hold a minimum percentage of shares. The structure resembles the founder super-voting rights model adopted by tech companies such as Palantir, designed to help the founding team retain control after the company's IPO.

Reports indicate that Anthropic's seven co-founders currently each hold approximately 2% of the company's shares. The new shares carry no additional economic rights and only confer higher voting power. Additionally, Anthropic's long-term benefit trust will retain the power to elect a majority of board members, the number of founder board seats will increase from 2 to 3, and employees will also gain voting rights to break deadlocks on certain matters.
