  3. "White-Haired Stock Guru" Serenity: The probability of OpenAI and Anthropic slowing down frontier AI R&D is essentially zeroDashTape reports: "White-Haired Stock Guru" Serenity posted on X platform, stating that in their view, the probability of Anthropic and OpenAI genuinely slowing down frontier AI development is "essentially zero," and that some regulatory measures pushed by leading AI companies are more likely aimed at raising competitive barriers to restrict the development of competitors. They stated that OpenAI and Anthropic will not voluntarily cede their lead to competitors like Gemini, xAI, and Meta, and that given all countries are continuously advancing AI technology development, it would be very difficult for the United States to meaningfully slow down frontier AI R&D. Currently, all parties are still competing for scarce resources such as storage and AI chips. They believe that demand for AI-related infrastructure will remain strong, and rebutted the view that AI-related stocks such as Nvidia (NVDA), TSMC (TSM), and Micron (MU) will experience significant declines as a result. Previously, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a long article stating that the AI industry must slow down the pace of improving model capabilities, but this does not mean stopping model training or technological progress — rather, it means ensuring companies have enough time for model alignment and safety safeguards. OpenAI founder Sam Altman expressed agreement, saying "we need to control the progress of frontier models," and stated that OpenAI will also consider giving independent evaluators access similar to that of employees.
  4. CICC: From the perspective of safeguarding the Fed's credibility, the Fed had better hike rates in SeptemberDashTape reports A CICC research report states that from the perspective of safeguarding the Fed's credibility, it would be best to hike rates in September, and this is the key factor determining whether rates should be raised or not. In July, Warsh's "deliberate ambiguity" at the FOMC plunged market expectations into confusion, and the U.S. Treasury term premium rose from 0.65% at the end of July to 0.9% in mid-August, forcing Warsh to make a hawkish commitment at the Jackson Hole conference. If the data weaken, the Fed probably still has room to maneuver, but as nonfarm payrolls and inflation successively exceeded expectations, the Fed has been gradually backed into a corner. Although these short-term indicators all have limitations, before the FOMC there is little choice but to rely on these data. Imagine, if this meeting still "forces a hold," how would the market view the previous hawkish statements? It would probably only create a more serious crisis of confidence and runaway U.S. Treasury yields. (Jinshi)

  6. Bonk Guy: Arc is actively attracting Meme traders, possibly borrowing Robinhood Chain's ecosystem cold-start playbookDashTape reports: Bonk Guy posted on X platform stating that over the past few weeks, multiple developers associated with the Arc ecosystem have proactively reached out to him, hoping to attract Meme coin traders during the network's early launch phase. He believes that the Arc team has recognized that Meme coin trading is one of the ways for a new chain to rapidly boost on-chain activity, and may be borrowing Robinhood Chain's previous ecosystem cold-start playbook. BonkGuy stated that he had not previously paid much attention to Arc, but has recently begun making short-term positioning moves, having already purchased LONG, the native token of Arc's main Launchpad, as well as the top three Meme coins by market cap on that platform. However, he emphasized that his positioning in Arc is merely a short-term high-risk attempt and has not changed his long-term view that on-chain trading activity on Robinhood Chain, BNB Chain, and Solana is more promising. Previous reports indicate that the Arc mainnet will launch on September 16.

  8. ETF Store President: The future of the crypto industry does not depend on the CLARITY Act, which mainly serves as an accelerantDashTape reports Nate Geraci, President of ETF Store, posted on X platform that if the CLARITY Act can secure enough votes and continue to advance this week, it would constitute a positive boost for the crypto industry, but he believes the future of the crypto industry does not depend on this bill.
