Bitcoin price plunged close to 8% over the past day owing to the high Consumer Price Index report.
""

The prices of most altcoins fell on their respective charts after the CPI showed a 0.1% increase in August, which has now taken the unadjusted value to 8.3%.
""

The annual increase was expected to be 8.1%. Over the last 24 hours, Bitcoin registered a 4% loss.
""

Given that the market is undergoing an extended sell-off, a further fall in BTC’s value could be expected. The technical outlook for the coin was bearish as buyers left the market at the time of writing.
""

Bitcoin price has been struggling at $18,900 for the past month, but it has managed to break through this price level in the last week.
""

Bitcoin has soared past the $22,000 level. The recent blow from the CPI report has pushed the coin downwards.
""

Indicators have chosen to side with the bears given how sellers are dominating the market at press time. The global cryptocurrency market cap today is at $1.04 trillion, with a 2.5% negative change in the last 24 hours.

Jito Revives with New Exchange JTX Buyback: Self-Salvation or Lifeline?

Jito, a Solana-based MEV and liquid staking infrastructure protocol, has announced new governance proposal JIP-38 and the launch of a new self-custody trading platform, JTX. The proposal establishes a rigid value-capture mechanism, mandating that 100% of the DAO's share of revenue from JTX—80% of its platform fees—will be used for programmatic, on-chain verifiable open market buybacks and permanent burns of the JTO token. This commitment is set to last at least from JTX's launch until Q4 2027. The move comes as Jito faces significant challenges in its core liquid staking market, with protocol-staked SOL declining from 18 million to under 10 million. Intense competition from protocols like Sanctum and Jupiter, coupled with continuous monthly token unlocks (1.15% of max supply), has pressured JTO's price, which fell over 96% from its all-time high to a low of $0.21 earlier this year, before recovering to around $0.63. JIP-38 formalizes Jito Network as a "token-centric" network, where all major revenue streams flow to the DAO for governance by JTO holders. While the JTX buyback is a firm commitment using new revenue, decisions on other income streams and the post-2027 strategy will be determined by future governance votes. The proposal is seen as a strategic pivot to create a new revenue source and directly align token value with ecosystem growth, though its success depends heavily on JTX's ability to compete effectively in the crowded Solana trading landscape.

Robinhood Chain Sees 'Disappearing Token' Scam: Tokens Vanish After Purchase, Private Keys Secure But Funds Evaporate

CryptoSlate reports that a novel scam has emerged on Robinhood Chain, the permissionless Ethereum Layer 2 launched by Robinhood. Cross-chain protocol Relay has issued a warning about fraudulent tokens designed to self-destruct or disappear from users' wallets immediately after purchase, resulting in a total loss of the funds spent. Notably, the incidents do not involve stolen private keys or compromise of other assets in the wallet, isolating the loss to the specific purchased token. Relay is responding by blocking the identified scam tokens and verifying others it deems safe, while emphasizing that anyone can list tokens on the permissionless chain. The warning highlights the inherent risks of a "buy-first, vet-later" environment on permissionless networks, where scam contracts can outpace security warnings. The report coincides with a surge in speculative trading on the new chain, including significant decentralized exchange volume and integration with platforms like Pump.fun. The article raises questions about which interfaces users employed for the transactions and the effectiveness of pre-transaction screening by various service providers like Relay, 0x API, and LI.FI. It underscores the challenge of ensuring warnings reach users before they finalize irreversible purchases in a fast-moving, open ecosystem.

Trump Uses Senator's Death to Pressure Congress: Calls for Passing Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act in Graham's Name

Former President Donald Trump is urging the Senate to pass the Crypto Asset Regulatory Transparency and Innovation (CLARITY) Act as a tribute to the late Senator Lindsey Graham, who passed away last weekend. In a Truth Social post, Trump claimed Graham was a "strong supporter" of the bill, which aims to shift primary regulatory oversight of digital assets from the SEC to the CFTC. However, Graham, who served since 2003, was not on relevant banking or agriculture committees and had no recorded votes or public statements directly advocating for the CLARITY Act, though he did vote for a stablecoin bill in 2025. The bill faces significant Democratic opposition, with several senators demanding the inclusion of conflict-of-interest provisions related to Trump's connections to various crypto projects. Furthermore, with Graham's death and Senator Mitch McConnell hospitalized, the Republican majority in the Senate has narrowed to 51-47. Passing the CLARITY Act requires 60 votes, meaning substantial Democratic support is needed. The Senate has only four weeks left before its August recess, creating a tight legislative window. Some Republican senators, like Cynthia Lummis, have echoed Trump's sentiment, but the path to 60 votes remains highly uncertain.

The More Proficient AI Becomes at Answering, Why Do Humans Need Deep Thinking More? Fudan Releases the 2026 Blue Book on Intelligent Development in Humanities and Social Sciences

As AI capabilities rapidly expand, particularly in generating sophisticated text, analyzing data, and automating complex tasks, the need for human deep thinking becomes more critical, not less. The "2026 Blue Paper on Intelligent Development for Humanities and Social Sciences" from Fudan University argues that the relationship between AI and these fields is shifting from "one-way empowerment" to "bidirectional fusion." While AI transforms research methodologies, the humanities must guide its purpose, application, and governance. The core challenge is no longer processing vast information, but defining worthwhile problems, establishing genuine causal mechanisms, and constructing verifiable evidence chains. AI excels at producing coherent, fluent outputs but risks oversimplifying complex social realities into standardized formats it can easily process. For instance, in areas like climate-society systems, the difficulty lies not in handling more variables, but in understanding the fundamental mismatches between natural and social systems. Similarly, in automated research, AI can efficiently search for statistically significant results or generate papers quickly, potentially masking flawed assumptions or "packaging" statistical noise as discovery. The speed of paper production does not equate to the speed of genuine knowledge advancement. This underscores the non-transferable human responsibility for judgment. Deep thinking must be embedded into research workflows, governance systems, and organizational structures. Key principles include: * **Maintaining the Evidence Chain:** While AI can handle tasks like data processing, researchers must retain oversight over problem definition, conceptual translation into metrics, causal interpretation, and defining the scope of conclusions. Frameworks like STRIDES aim to document decisions and enable audit trails. * **Ensuring Meaningful Human Oversight:** In public governance, AI systems should operate in an "assistive" rather than an "agentic" mode. Human operators must retain genuine intervention, correction, and explanation rights to prevent "responsibility theater," where humans merely rubber-stamp algorithmic decisions. * **Translating Principles into Practice:** AI governance needs enforceable mechanisms across a system's lifecycle—pre-deployment risk assessment, runtime monitoring and human-in-the-loop controls, and post-hoc review and accountability—tailored to the level of risk involved. * **Defining Direction, Not Just Answers:** Humanities and social sciences provide the essential framework for navigating value conflicts (e.g., efficiency vs. fairness) and analyzing the social consequences of technology, questions AI alone cannot resolve. Building lasting capacity requires more than isolated projects. It demands integrated infrastructure—shared data standards, tools, interdisciplinary training, and collaborative mechanisms—as measured by initiatives like the "Chinese Universities AI4SSH Index." The ultimate imperative is clear: as AI becomes better at answering questions, humans must become more deliberate and responsible in deciding which questions are worth asking, critically evaluating the answers, and steering the technology's impact on society.

Coinbase Admits Defeat! Base's Social Token Experiment Declares Failure, ZORA Market Value Plummets 95%

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong publicly declared the failed "content coins" experiment on Base, a strategy that had run for over a year. Launched in 2025 via the Zora platform, the model turned social media posts into tradable ERC-20 tokens, with each post generating a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens. It briefly made Base the leading L2 for new token issuance. However, Armstrong admitted the approach "didn't work," stating the company had already shifted focus earlier this year. The core infrastructure provider, ZORA, saw its token price plummet approximately 95% from its August 2025 peak, with market capitalization collapsing from around $550 million to roughly $30 million. The experiment faced criticism for creating a zero-sum, speculative trading environment where token value relied solely on finding new buyers, failing to build sustainable demand or user loyalty despite initial viral moments and high transaction volumes. By early 2026, Base began dismantling key social features, removing the social feed and creator rewards from its app to refocus on its core competencies: trading and stablecoin payments. While Coinbase moves on from the experiment, the financial losses incurred by token holders during the 15-month period remain.
