On September 9, Apple will hold its annual product launch event at 1 AM Beijing time on September 10. The first foldable iPhone is expected to be the main highlight, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro series, new Apple Watch, and AirPods. This event will also mark the first major product launch hosted by new CEO John Ternus, who took over from Tim Cook on September 1. The foldable iPhone, tentatively named 'iPhone Duo', is expected to start at around $2000, with the 256GB version being the base model, and higher storage versions potentially nearing $3000. The device features a horizontal folding design, making it more suitable for video viewing when unfolded, and supports split-screen and multitasking functionalities similar to the iPad. In terms of hardware, it is expected to be equipped with the A20 Pro chip and Apple's self-developed C2 modem, featuring dual 48-megapixel rear cameras and a 12-megapixel video conferencing camera, while also supporting Apple Pencil and a magnetic hinge. The product is expected to be available as early as October. Bloomberg reports that foldable phones have historically faced limitations due to high prices, battery life, camera quality, and screen creases, but advancements in supply chains and related technologies are improving these shortcomings. Apple aims to leverage the foldable iPhone to explore a new product category, positioning it as a high-end device with both innovative attributes and status symbol appeal. The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will continue with the traditional flat design, focusing on upgrading the imaging system, with expectations of adding a mechanical aperture for more precise depth control and better low-light performance, while also featuring the A20 Pro chip, improved cooling, and extended battery life. The Dynamic Island feature is also expected to shrink further. Due to a shortage of storage chips, the prices of the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are expected to increase by $100 each. Apple has previously raised prices for products like Mac and iPad, and this iPhone price increase indicates that storage cost pressures are being passed on to consumers. The Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 are expected to introduce new colors and design adjustments, enhancing health and fitness features, with a new Readiness app for further analysis of heart rate, blood oxygen, and other data. AirPods 5 will upgrade noise-cancellation capabilities, while the planned high-end AI AirPods with camera sensors have been postponed until next year. For Ternus, this launch event is not only about new products but also his first major public appearance since taking the helm at Apple. Against the backdrop of Apple's revenue nearing $500 billion and stock price increasing by approximately 2300% during Tim Cook's tenure, whether Ternus can prove that Apple still possesses the innovative capability to launch entirely new product categories with the foldable iPhone will be a focal point for the market.

On September 9, the Financial Times reported that Iran is gradually relaxing its strict foreign exchange controls and is allowing businesses to use cryptocurrencies, particularly Tether (USDT) and Bitcoin, for cross-border transactions to cope with the impacts of U.S. sanctions and war on its economy and financial system. Sources indicate that the Central Bank of Iran has quietly encouraged businesses in recent months to repatriate overseas funds through various means, including settling cross-border trade via local cryptocurrency exchanges. Additionally, companies can exchange foreign currency on the open market and use export revenues directly for importing goods, without having to go through the official foreign exchange system entirely. An executive close to the Iranian regime stated that the central bank is currently not questioning the methods of fund transfers, noting that 'receiving export payments in cryptocurrency has completely become the norm.' Data shows that by 2025, approximately $10 billion in cryptocurrency is expected to flow through Iran. Blockchain analysis firm Elliptic estimates that Iran accounts for about 4.5% of global Bitcoin mining activity, leveraging cheap energy for Bitcoin mining to acquire crypto assets that can be used for importing goods and circumventing trade restrictions. Meanwhile, there are still over $100 billion in undeclared overseas and domestic earnings within Iran. The country's supreme auditing body previously stated that more than 20,000 individuals and companies have failed to fulfill their obligation to repatriate approximately €94 billion in export revenues. The Financial Times notes that as the U.S. tightens its blockade on Iran's financial channels, cryptocurrency is becoming an important tool for Iran to maintain cross-border trade and access external funding. However, industry insiders in Iran believe that the scale of cryptocurrency transactions is still insufficient to meet the country's vast economic needs. Tether had previously frozen around $344 million in wallet assets related to the Central Bank of Iran, and the U.S. Treasury has warned that engaging in digital asset transactions with Iran may face sanction risks.

On September 9, Visa disclosed that its stablecoin annual settlement volume has surpassed $20 billion, marking a year-on-year increase of over 15 times. In the second quarter, more than 160 stablecoin-linked card projects have been launched on the Visa network, with related payment volumes increasing nearly 200% year-on-year, indicating that stablecoins are rapidly entering the card payment and settlement landscape. 
According to reports, Visa is collaborating with Credit Coop to provide revolving credit lines denominated in stablecoins for early stablecoin-linked card programs, intended for daily Visa settlement funds. Credit Coop locks receivables through Spigot smart contracts, automates repayments, and combines Visa's daily settlement data for credit assessment and risk control. This has resulted in over 9,000 on-chain repayments executed, with cumulative financing exceeding $2.5 billion and zero defaults. Card projects such as Rain, Karta, Moto, and Xplace have all obtained settlement turnover funds through this model, establishing credit records for subsequent large institutional financing.
