Abstract

Bullish, an institutional crypto exchange operator, has provided a $100 million stablecoin credit line to USD.AI, an on-chain financing platform from Permian Labs, for lending against GPU infrastructure collateral. USD.AI will use the funds to provide loans to AI infrastructure operators, secured specifically by their underlying GPU hardware rather than broader corporate assets. Bullish plans to list USD.AI's sUSDai token in several trading pairs and support it with a market-making program to enhance secondary liquidity and price discovery for GPU-collateralized debt. This deal expands USD.AI's GPU financing business, following recent loans of $98.1 million and $34 million against Nvidia B300 and B200 GPUs, respectively, and builds on Bullish Capital's earlier $4 million investment in USD.AI in September 2025.

The operator of the institutional crypto exchange Bullish has provided USD.AI with $100 million in stablecoin debt financing for issuing loans collateralized by GPU infrastructure, the companies announced on Friday.

USD.AI will use this financing to lend to AI infrastructure operators, with the underlying GPU equipment serving as collateral for the loans, rather than the borrowers' broader corporate assets.

USD.AI is an on-chain financing platform developed by Permian Labs. It provides financing collateralized by AI computing equipment, connecting stablecoin liquidity with the demand for GPU infrastructure funding.

Bullish stated that it plans to add USD.AI's sUSDai to several trading pairs and support the token with a special market-making program, which is expected to improve the secondary liquidity and price discovery process for GPU-collateralized debt obligations.

This financing expands USD.AI's growing GPU financing business. In June, the company reported a $98.1 million loan collateralized by 2,304 Nvidia B300 GPUs, and a $34 million loan collateralized by 768 Nvidia B200 GPUs was fully funded.

The deal also continues the development of Bullish Capital, which invested $4 million in USD.AI in September 2025.

Solana validators approve proposal to accelerate SOL disinflation

Solana validators have approved the SGP-0002 "Double Disinflation" proposal with 67% support and 60.7% participation. This binding governance vote doubles the network's annual disinflation rate from 15% to 30%, accelerating the timeline to reach Solana's long-term inflation target of 1.5% from about 5.7 years to 2.8 years. The change is expected to reduce future SOL issuance by an estimated 18.9 million tokens over six years, decreasing dilution for holders but also lowering staking rewards. Major validators were divided, with Figment voting against and Helius and Jupiter strongly supporting. Notably, Kraken changed its position from opposed to supportive during the voting period. This governance milestone coincides with Bitwise's U.S. Solana ETF surpassing $1 billion in assets, reflecting continued institutional interest despite recent market volatility.

CEO, Chinese Billionaire, Unveils His Bitcoin Price Prediction for This Weekend

Recent declines in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) prices have revived expectations of a short-term market downturn. Jiang Zhuoer, founder of Lebit Mining Pool (B.TOP), noted that both major cryptocurrencies have fallen below their uptrend channels, sending a negative technical signal. He highlighted that the closure of US ETF markets over the weekend temporarily removed potential buying pressure from institutional spot ETF investors. Zhuoer warned that current conditions are unfavorable for long positions and could signal the start of a new market downtrend. Meanwhile, Coinglass data suggests significant liquidation risks: if Bitcoin falls below $76,000, long position liquidations could reach approximately $797 million. Conversely, a rise above $80,000 could trigger short position liquidations of around $708 million. This is not investment advice.

Spot ETF for Altcoin Surpasses $1 Billion for the First Time in History: Despite the Downturn!

Bitwise's Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) has surpassed $1 billion in assets under management, just 10 months after its launch. This milestone was reached despite a period of weak price performance in the broader cryptocurrency market. Bitwise highlighted that this inflow demonstrates long-term investor confidence in Solana. The ETF's shares are currently down about 40% from their listing price, while Solana's native token, SOL, trades roughly 60% below its all-time high. According to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, the Solana ETF category has seen approximately $1.7 billion in total inflows. He noted it as impressive that there has been no sustained, significant outflow of funds despite a sharp market downturn earlier in the year.

MANTRA Failure Analysis Reveals $3.6 Million Vulnerability in cosmos/evm Integer Key

On August 28, MANTRA Chain published a report on a security breach that occurred on August 20-21, resulting in a loss of approximately 720.9 million MANTRA tokens, valued at around $3.6 million. The company did not promise fund recovery. The attack exploited an integer overflow vulnerability in a common cosmos/evm module used to run Ethereum-style smart contracts over Cosmos SDK. This flaw allowed the attacker to drain funds without privileged access. MANTRA emphasized the bug was not in its proprietary code and that no validator keys or multisig systems were compromised. The stolen tokens came from a burn address and an inactive genesis multisig wallet, and were considered economically inactive prior to the attack. MANTRA's team admitted to failing to detect the fraudulent transactions in real-time due to a lack of 24/7 monitoring. The blockchain was halted 14 minutes after the attacker's second withdrawal, with 37.96 million tokens still in the hacker's wallet. The network remained down for over 30 hours before restarting on a patched version. This incident adds to the project's challenges, following a 90% token crash in April 2025 and a recent acquisition by Inveniam Capital Partners, which acknowledged past issues. The token price dropped roughly 18.5% following the breach announcement.

BTC Failed to Surpass the $81,500 Mark as 'Whales' Built a Massive 'Sell Wall' at $81,000

Bitcoin failed to break decisively above $81,500 after hitting that level, encountering a massive "sell wall" near $81,000. The price peaked at $81,455 before sharply reversing, dropping to a low near $76,877 following Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's first speech at the Jackson Hole forum. This erased gains from late August and cut Bitcoin's weekly advance to about 2%, though it remains on track for double-digit monthly growth. The reversal triggered significant liquidations totaling around $107 million in derivatives, with roughly $300 million in leveraged positions wiped out across crypto markets. Data indicates a heavy liquidity imbalance, with approximately $5.7 billion in bids concentrated between $75,000 and $78,500, compared to only about $2.8 billion in asks above $81,500. This suggests a deeper pullback remains a risk. Order flow analysis shows whales maintaining strong sell walls between $80,800 and $83,000, while substantial buy orders cluster around $78,000-$79,000. While futures open interest has recovered and leverage is returning faster than organic spot demand, the failure to hold above $80,000 has weakened short-term momentum and tilted sentiment toward caution. In his speech, Warsh reiterated a cautious stance on inflation, advocating for traditional central bank management over forward guidance.
