HTX Creation Challenge — Post and Win 1,500U

Bitcoin briefly broke through $81,000 on Tuesday before retreating to around $80,300. Gold rose to a three-month high on the same day. The market generally links this synchronized rise to a weaker dollar, changes in US Treasury yields, and investor concerns about the purchasing power of fiat currencies.


US Treasury Adjusts Long-Term Treasury Repurchase Agreements


One recent focus of market attention is the US Treasury's adjustment to its Treasury repurchase arrangements. According to disclosures, starting September 9th, the Treasury will increase its liquidity-supporting repurchase agreements for long-term Treasury bonds, raising the maximum single operation from $2 billion to at least $4 billion, covering a range of 10- to 30-year Treasury bonds.


This arrangement was originally intended to improve liquidity in the long-term Treasury bond market, but the market reaction leaned more towards macro asset pricing. Some funds chose to sell dollars and shift to assets with relatively limited supply, thus benefiting both Bitcoin and gold.


Bitcoin's Rally Coupled with ETF Inflows


Reuters data shows that Bitcoin reached a high of $81,237.94 during the session.  Looking at monthly performance, Bitcoin saw a cumulative increase of approximately 28% in August, potentially marking its strongest monthly performance since November 2024.

Besides macroeconomic factors, institutional funds are also amplifying the rally. The US spot Bitcoin ETF recently attracted approximately $1.9 billion in net inflows during the week. As prices rose, over $4 billion in short positions in crypto were liquidated, further boosting buying.

Zerohash, the crypto infrastructure company that serves high-profile partners such as Morgan Stanley's E*Trade, BlackRock and Stripe, returned to the applicant pool for a U.S. banking charter after the federal regulator handed back its first effort.

The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which regulates and charters national banks and trust companies, had formally returned the Chicago-based firm's first application last month, meaning the effort had some material deficiencies. But Zerohash said it would be quickly starting a new application with a significantly narrower focus.

That trust application is now awaiting the OCC's review, and a public comment period is open until September 17. Many other crypto-native firms have recently received preliminary trust charters, and two were denied, but this is the only one returned.

A spokesperson for the company told CoinDesk earlier this month that they intended to refile again in August, but that it would be less ambitious and represent "a more focused approval of national trust activities aligned with our intended rollout timeline." However, neither Zerohash nor the OCC responded to requests for comment on this new effort.

According to the latest Q2 results from MARA and Riot, Coinpedia reports that the Bitcoin mining industry will continue to face pressure in 2026. The two companies sold a combined 32,758 BTC in the first half of the year. Meanwhile, network difficulty has significantly decreased since the beginning of the year, and mining companies are increasingly shifting funds towards power, data centers, and AI-related businesses.

Difficulty and Hashrate Decline Simultaneously

Hashrate Index data shows that Bitcoin difficulty has been adjusted downwards 10 times and upwards only 7 times in 2026. After the most recent adjustment on August 23, the difficulty dropped to 125.81 trillion, a 15.1% decrease from approximately 148.25 trillion on January 1, and also 19.1% lower than the peak of 156 trillion reached in November 2025.

Hashrate is also declining.  According to the article, the Bitcoin network's current hashrate is approximately 855 to 928 EH/s, about 25% lower than the peak of 1.23 ZH/s in October 2025. This means that over 300 EH/s of effective hashrate has left the network in the past period. The article states that even with the Bitcoin price rebound in August, the hashrate has not significantly recovered.


MARA Sold Over 23,000 BTC in the First Half of the Year

MARA released its second-quarter results on August 6th. The company's second-quarter operating hashrate increased by 22% year-over-year to 70.3 EH/s, producing 2,422 BTC in the quarter, higher than the 2,247 BTC in the first quarter. The daily cost per unit hashrate improved by 4% to $27.7.


However, the improved operations failed to offset the impact of the falling Bitcoin price.  The company's second-quarter revenue was $174.9 million, a 27% year-over-year decrease; net loss was $611.3 million, compared to a net profit of $808.2 million in the same period last year.

Bitwise Creates 3 Tokenized Stock Portfolios With Coinbase and GliderBitwise Brings Automated Stock Portfolios Into Crypto Wallets
Bitwise is taking a different route into tokenized equities, launching model portfolios that live directly inside investors’ crypto wallets rather than inside a traditional fund.

The new Automated Token Portfolios (ATPs) are designed by Bitwise, with Coinbase providing the underlying tokenized stocks and and executed through Glider. Investors retain custody of the assets throughout the process.

“When an investor signs up, they’re going to replicate a strategy designed by an institutional investment firm like Bitwise,” Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan said in a video announcing the product. “They hold tokenized stocks in their own personal wallet, and then it automatically follows the strategy that they’ve selected.”

The products are available only to non-U.S. persons in eligible jurisdictions outside the United States.

Bitwise Starts With AI, Robotics and Mega-Cap Themes
Bitwise said it is launching three initial portfolios. The Mag7X ATP provides equal-weighted exposure to Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and Tesla, plus SpaceX.

The Robotics ATP focuses on companies developing humanoid robots, autonomous vehicles and warehouse automation, including Tesla, Nvidia and Amazon.

The AI Leaders ATP includes Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, Amazon, SpaceX, Tesla and Sandisk.

The structure gives Bitwise more flexibility than a conventional ETF, which can take months to launch and may be constrained by diversification or fund-design requirements.

“For one, you can be more precise. Traditional funds and ETFs often have requirements to hold 10, 20, 30, 40 stocks. What if you want to design a strategy that only has three or four names in it?” Hougan said, adding that the tokenized format can be faste
