Abstract

Cryptocurrency betting and casino platform Stake will feature prominently in the next two years of Formula 1 after securing naming rights to Sauber’s F1 car.

The firm takes over from Alfa Romeo, which did not extend its sponsorship of Sauber’s C44 past 2023. The Sauber is set to be rebranded as Audi’s factory team in 2026 - leaving a two-year gap for other sponsors to step in on an interim basis.
Stake and its live-streaming platform Kick.com first featured on Sauber’s vehicle in 2023 through initial sponsorship deals. The team will be officially known as Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber and will launch its 2024 season at an event in London in February 2024.

Canadian rapper Drake took part in a New Year’s Day unveiling of the rebranding and is expected to feature at select F1 races through the 2024 season.

Stake promoted the launch of the Stake F1 Team with Canadian rapper and brand ambassador Drake on Instagram on New Year's Day.Motorsport.com also highlights that Kick.com will have naming rights to the chassis of Sauber’s car, named the Kick Sauber C44. F1 teams are also expected to build and maintain their vehicles, meaning Stake has become an F1 vehicle manufacturer.

Formula 1 has attracted several cryptocurrency exchanges and businesses in recent years, with various companies looking to tap into the sport’s global fan base through advertising and sponsorship deals.
OKX first partnered with McLaren in May 2022 as a primary partner of its F1 team and its branding featured prominently on the MCL60 racing car in 2023.
Crypto.com has been a prominent sponsor of Formula1 since 2021, with its branding featuring at Grand Prix circuits around the globe over the past few race calendars. The cryptocurrency wallet and exchange operator also sponsors the Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 team.

Bitcoin Rises to $81,500 Amid Nvidia's Record Earnings Report

Bitcoin rose to $81,500 on August 28, coinciding with a rally in US stocks following Nvidia's strong quarterly earnings report. The chipmaker surpassed expectations with Q2 revenue of $96.2 billion, sending its stock up over 9% and adding more than $400 billion to its market cap. Market attention is also on the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, where a key speech from Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh is anticipated. Investors hope his comments will provide clarity amid mixed US inflation data and bond yield volatility. On the crypto derivatives front, analysts note a weakening wall of sell-side liquidity around $82,000 ahead of the expiration of $6.58 billion in Bitcoin options on Deribit. A break above this level could pave the way for a move toward $85,000. Meanwhile, total crypto market liquidations over 24 hours reached approximately $417 million. The combination of robust tech sector earnings and the upcoming Fed commentary remains a key market driver. Analysts also highlight the potential for a gamma squeeze around the options expiry, which could amplify price moves in either direction depending on the macro tone from Jackson Hole.

Brazil Implements Cryptocurrency Alert System to Neutralize Cyber Threats

As cryptocurrency use grows in Brazil, criminals are increasingly exploiting the system for illicit activities. In response, the Central Bank of Brazil is launching an alert system to notify a consortium of exchanges and banks about crypto-related threats. Developed in partnership with cybersecurity firm Hypernative, the system has been tested with undisclosed market participants. Regina Pedrosa of the Brazilian Tokenization Association (ABToken) stated integration will begin within two weeks, with relevant organizations receiving and disseminating the alerts. The tool gained urgency after a July 2025 attack, where cybercriminals stole $180 million from Brazil's financial system by exploiting a software vulnerability and cashing out via Bitcoin and USDT on exchanges. The initiative aims to improve fund traceability once assets move from traditional finance into the crypto sector. Major Brazilian crypto platforms Foxbit and Mercado Bitcoin will be among the first to implement the new warning system.

Websea's Third Anniversary: The Adjustments and Choices of a Mid-Sized Exchange During an Industry Shakeout Period

Websea, a mid-sized cryptocurrency exchange, celebrated its third anniversary in 2026 amid a period of industry consolidation. While the crypto landscape broadens with TradFi, RWA, and stablecoins, several established exchanges have retreated. This highlights the challenge for mid-tier platforms: growth is not automatic and depends on liquidity, compliance, security, and user retention. Websea has recently focused on strategic product adjustments. Key initiatives include enhancing risk management tools like contract insurance and copy trading, expanding its asset offerings to include TradFi CFDs (gold, silver, indices, forex), launching a Proof of Reserves (PoR) system for transparency, and engaging in regional RWA development through events like a summit in Almaty. The article analyzes these moves. Risk management products aim to improve user experience and retention, but their long-term viability hinges on clear rules and sustainable mechanisms. Offering TradFi CFDs seeks to capture user engagement during crypto market lulls, though it introduces new operational complexities. The PoR report addresses transparency concerns, but its value depends on regular updates. Regional RWA exploration offers potential access to real-world assets but faces significant hurdles in legal structuring and productization. Ultimately, Websea's three-year mark showcases a strategy to compete by broadening tradable assets, strengthening risk and transparency features, and exploring niche opportunities. The critical test will be whether these adjustments translate into sustainable trading volume, lasting user loyalty, and verifiable business growth over time.

NVIDIA's 'Largest Product Cycle' Ahead? Bernstein Raises Target Price to $400

Bernstein raises Nvidia's price target to $400, citing the start of its "largest product cycle" with the Rubin platform. Nvidia's Q2 earnings beat expectations, driven by data center revenue nearing $89 billion. The firm expects Q3 data center revenue to exceed $100 billion, with Rubin contributing about 20%. Bernstein significantly increased its revenue and EPS forecasts for FY2028 and FY2029, reflecting strong demand for both Blackwell and the newly ramping Rubin systems. While gross margin faces pressure from memory costs, Bernstein views it as manageable amid rapid revenue growth. Nvidia's $279 billion in supply commitments highlights its expanding competitive moat in securing critical components. The new target price implies ~91% upside, contingent on successful execution of the Rubin ramp and sustained AI infrastructure spending.

Trump Meme Coin Soars Despite Reports of Investor Losses

Donald Trump's meme coin, $TRUMP, has surged 23% in a day, outperforming other top-100 cryptocurrencies. This recent rally began on August 19 amid a broader market uptick, following Trump's positive remarks on cryptocurrencies at a White House meeting and the postponement of the CLARITY Act. However, the rise occurs alongside reports of significant investor losses. According to The New York Times and non-profit Public Citizen, nearly a million $TRUMP investors have faced collective losses of $3.81 billion, while Trump reportedly earned $635 million from trading fees. Another Trump-linked token, $WLFI from World Liberty Financial, allegedly caused over $1 billion in investor losses, with Trump profiting $557 million. Further scrutiny involves World Liberty Financial's ties to UAE officials and its recent preliminary approval for a U.S. national trust bank charter. The White House has denied any conflicts of interest, stating Trump acts in the public's interest. Despite its monthly gains of 93%, $TRUMP's current price of around $2.82 remains 96% below its all-time high of $75 from January 2025.
