Wintermute’s Election Prediction Market to Use Trump and Harris Tokens on Ethereum
Wintermute is launching OutcomeMarket, a decentralized prediction market platform focused on the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The platform will feature tokens tied to candidates like Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, and will operate across Ethereum and its layer-2 scaling networks, Base and Arbitrum. OutcomeMarket aims to reduce barriers by using permissionless smart contracts, enabling trading venues to list tokens without minting or transaction fees. Users can participate in prediction markets, trading on candidates' performance while also using these tokens in DeFi applications. Multiple exchanges, including Bebop and WOO X, plan to list these tokens.

Circle Plants Flag in Wall Street with New NYC Headquarters
Circle, the company behind the USDC stablecoin, announced it will relocate its global headquarters to New York City's One World Trade Center, signaling a commitment to the U.S. despite regulatory challenges. CEO Jeremy Allaire expressed hopes that the new headquarters will bridge web3 and traditional finance. While some praised the move, including Anthony Scaramucci, others like Step Finance's George Harrap criticized the decision to "double down" on a country perceived as hostile to crypto. On-chain researcher ZachXBT accused Circle of profiting from web3 while failing to act against DeFi hacks.

U.S. Federal Debt Interest Costs Hit $1.1 Trillion as Daily Payments Reach $3 Billion
The U.S. Federal debt’s annual interest costs have surpassed $1.1 trillion, with the government now paying a record $3 billion per day in interest. This expense is triple what it was a decade ago and has doubled in the past 2.5 years, according to the Kobeissi Letter. Even if the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates by 1%, the daily interest cost would still be $2.5 billion, more than double the average from 2009-2019. The rising debt, now over $35.3 trillion, combined with high interest rates, has made interest payments one of the country’s largest expenses.

Agile Energy X eyes $2.5 Billion BTC Earnings From Excess Green Energy
Agile Energy X, a subsidiary of Tokyo Electric Power Grid, is exploring the use of surplus renewable energy for Bitcoin mining by installing mining machines near solar farms in Japan's Gunma and Tochigi prefectures. Tests indicate that if Japan meets its goal of 50% renewable energy by 2050, utilizing just 10% of the projected 240,000 gigawatt-hours surplus could generate $2.5 billion in Bitcoin annually.

VanEck Winds Down ETH Futures ETF
VanEck will close its Ethereum Strategy ETF (EFUT), which launched in October 2023 and held ETH futures contracts, due to insufficient asset growth compared to its spot ether ETF, ETHV. EFUT, managing only $21 million in assets, struggled as investors preferred spot Ethereum ETFs, which received SEC approval in July. VanEck’s decision, effective September 16 when shares will be delisted from the Cboe exchange, reflects ongoing challenges with futures ETFs, including roll costs and contango. This move follows Grayscale's withdrawal of its ether futures ETF application and VanEck's earlier plan to close its bitcoin futures ETF after launching a spot bitcoin ETF.

Nvidia Denies DOJ Antitrust Subpoena Amid Market Volatility
Nvidia has denied reports that it received an antitrust subpoena from the DOJ, following claims made by Bloomberg. The company confirmed it inquired with the DOJ and was not subpoenaed but remains open to addressing any regulatory concerns. The initial report suggested Nvidia was under investigation for limiting competition and penalizing buyers who don't exclusively use its AI suite. $278 billion was wiped from its market cap following the initial reports.
After Nvidia's denial, its share price recovered slightly.

Analysts Explain Ethereum's Decline Relative to Bitcoin
CryptoQuant Analysts have reported that Ethereum has underperformed Bitcoin by up to 44% since Ethereum's transition to a proof-of-stake network, known as "The Merge," nearly two years ago.
Despite the approval of Ethereum spot ETFs in the U.S. in July, Ethereum's performance has continued to lag, with the ETH/BTC price ratio reaching its lowest level since April 2021.
Ethereum has also underperformed compared to other tokens such as SOL and BNB, falling 53% and 18%, respectively, since the Merge.
According to the analysts, this underperformance may be attributed to weaker network activity and declining transaction fees, compounded by an increasing total supply of Ethereum.
They suggest that Ethereum could face further declines relative to Bitcoin, with predictions indicating that Ethereum may need to fall to approximately 0.02 BTC to enter undervaluation territory.

JPMorgan: Bitcoin Mining Revenue Plummets to All-Time Low
JPMorgan reported that Bitcoin mining profitability reached record lows in August, with miners earning an average of $43,600 per exahash per second in daily block reward revenue, down from a peak of $342,000 in November 2021. This decline is attributed to the drop in Bitcoin's price and the rise in network hashrate, which increased competition and mining difficulty. The total market cap of the 14 U.S.-listed mining companies tracked by JPMorgan fell 15% month-on-month, with only three outperforming Bitcoin. The report also noted a brief spike in transaction fees in August, which provided some relief to miners, and highlighted that Bitcoin's annualized volatility rose to 62% in August from 45% in July.
