Arthur Hayes has a new market alarm for crypto traders: EUR/JPY. The pair has started to fall, yet the Federal Reserve channels that would turn currency stress into dollar liquidity remain dormant.The European Central Bank’s reference rate fell from 185.63 yen per euro on Sept. 1 to 181.21 on Sept. 3, a 2.38% drop. Hayes says a fall to 140 or below by June 2027 would herald a much larger increase in dollar liquidity. The latest reading still sits 29.4% above that threshold.That distance is crucial. The exchange rate is only the first link in a sequence that runs through…

Solana’s v1 transaction format promises more than three times as much room per transaction, but RPC clients, indexers, relayers and fee sponsors that are not ready for it can fail in two very different ways: some systems stop, while others keep running with the wrong resource limits.Solana’s live upgrade page still lists v1 as not activated on mainnet as of Sept. 4. Testnet is active and devnet is live in epoch 1140. A Solana changelog published Aug. 28 said v1 transactions were “coming soon,” leaving infrastructure operators a pre-activation window to update.V1 raises the maximum payload from 1,232 bytes to…

Bitcoin’s next Federal Reserve test is split across two dates.The Federal Open Market Committee will decide policy on Sept. 16 after seeing August payrolls, producer prices and consumer prices. Official August personal consumption expenditures inflation, along with a Bureau of Economic Analysis annual update that will revise the PCE series, is not scheduled until Sept. 30.Governor Christopher Waller has already put a number on one part of that pending change. He said a new method for portfolio-management services could lower 12-month PCE inflation by a few tenths of a percentage point. That was Waller’s estimate for one component, not a…
A Michigan judge has placed prediction-market exchange Kalshi under a preliminary injunction that keeps its sports event contracts fenced off from people in the state until the court issues a final order. The ruling moves the dispute beyond a short-term restraint and into an open-ended compliance regime.Kalshi calls the products federally regulated event contracts, while Michigan treats the covered sports products as internet sports betting subject to state licensing. That classification fight explains why the order is more than routine sportsbook enforcement and why its reach is contested.

Japan’s 30-year government-bond auction cleared at a 4.079% average yield on Sept. 3, underscoring a tougher backdrop for future capital raised by Metaplanet to buy Bitcoin. The long bond is a market signal; the nearer test for the company is the price of shorter-tenor debt and refinancing.The average yield rose 14.2 basis points from 3.937% at the previous 30-year auction on Aug. 6. Japan’s Sept. 1 10-year auction averaged 2.995%, placing the 4% threshold at the long end rather than across the entire curve. The Bank of Japan, meanwhile, maintains an operating guideline of around 1% for the uncollateralized overnight…
