🚀 Fractal Mainnet Transaction Fees Surge Amid New Token Protocol Launch

According to Odaily, transaction fees on the Fractal mainnet have surged to over 40 satoshis per byte, with high-priority fees exceeding 100 satoshis per byte. This increase coincides with the launch of a new UTXO-based token protocol on Bitcoin, known as the Covenant Attested Token (CAT) protocol. The CAT protocol is noted for its features such as no need for an indexer, modularity, programmable minting, and cross-chain interoperability. It can operate on any Bitcoin-compatible blockchain that activates OP_CAT. The community speculates that the introduction of the CAT protocol may be the primary reason behind the spike in Fractal mainnet transaction fees.

🚀 Market Focus Shifts To August CPI Inflation Data

According to BlockBeats, the market's attention this week is on the upcoming inflation data, with the August CPI inflation report set to be released at 8:30 PM UTC+8 on Wednesday. Economists predict that the overall CPI for August in the United States will slow to 2.6% year-on-year from 2.9% in July. Several economists suggest that falling natural gas prices and stable food prices may help control overall inflation. If these predictions hold true, the year-on-year CPI inflation will reach its lowest level since March 2021. The core CPI inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, is expected to drop to 3.2% year-on-year. These forecasts align with the estimates from the Cleveland Federal Reserve's Nowcast model.

According to CME's 'FedWatch,' there is a 70% probability that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 25 basis points in September, and a 30% probability of a 50 basis point cut. If inflation unexpectedly declines, the expectation for a 50 basis point rate cut is likely to increase further. On the other hand, if the report meets expectations or shows a slight increase in inflationary pressure, it may not change the market's anticipation of the Fed's rate adjustment but could somewhat temper the subsequent dovish rhetoric.

🚀 Vitalik Buterin Questions The Use Of 'Smart' In Technology

According to Odaily, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently expressed his skepticism about the term 'smart' in technology on the X platform. Buterin highlighted that historically, the term has often been used to make centralized control and data breaches appear more appealing. He urged users to ask specific questions about whether a wallet's design genuinely protects users from centralized malicious actions and their own mistakes. Buterin emphasized that well-designed wallets can indeed achieve this protection, while poorly designed ones might have the opposite effect.

🚀 US Judge Dismisses Class-Action Lawsuit Against Atomic Wallet

According to Cointelegraph, a United States federal judge has dismissed a class-action lawsuit against Atomic Wallet, citing a lack of jurisdiction over the Estonian crypto firm. The decision was made by Colorado district court judge Philip Brimmer on September 10, affecting Atomic Wallet, its CEO Konstantin Gladyshev, shareholder Pavel Sokolov, and Evercode Infinite, the software development firm behind Atomic Wallet.

The lawsuit was filed in August 2023 by a group of users who had stored cryptocurrencies through Atomic Wallet. This legal action followed a $100 million hack that the wallet provider experienced two months earlier. Judge Brimmer ruled that the contact between Atomic Wallet and Colorado was insufficient to establish the court's jurisdiction over the firm and the other defendants named in the suit.

In November, Atomic Wallet had moved to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing that it had no ties to the United States and that only one of the 21 plaintiffs, Graham Dickinson, was based in Colorado, where the suit was filed. The plaintiffs had contended that Atomic Wallet's advertisements were visible in Colorado on X, its mobile app could be downloaded in the state, and Dickinson had routinely communicated with Atomic Wallet's customer service representatives from his home in Colorado.

Judge Brimmer noted that the nature of Atomic Wallet's products, which are software applications, made it less likely that the firm deliberately targeted the Colorado market. He explained that unlike tangible goods that must be shipped to customers in a specific state, Atomic Wallet's products could reach users without the firm knowing their locations. Despite dismissing the claims, Brimmer allowed the plaintiffs an additional 21 days to explain why a suit against defendant Ilia Brusov, one of the founders of Evercode Infinite and an Atomic Wallet shareholder, should not be dismissed. Brusov owns a 12.8% stake in Atomic Wallet, while Sokolov also holds a 12.8% stake, and Gladyshev owns the remaining 74.4%.

🚀 Bank Of America Predicts Yen To Decline By Year-End

According to Odaily, Bank of America strategists maintain their forecast that the Japanese yen will resume its decline by the end of the year, expecting the yen to fall below 150 against the US dollar. Shusuke Yamada, the bank's chief Japan foreign exchange and rates strategist, stated in a report that the yen might resume its downward trend because the market has overestimated the potential rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and exaggerated the prospects of capital returning to Japan due to a narrowing dollar/yen interest rate differential. Currency market pricing indicates that the Federal Reserve is expected to cut rates by more than 100 basis points this year, while Bank of America economists anticipate three rate cuts of 25 basis points each. The bank has slightly revised its year-end dollar/yen exchange rate forecast from 155 to 151.

Yamada noted that since the 1990s, Federal Reserve rate cuts have not always been detrimental to the dollar/yen exchange rate. He pointed out that the only significant drop in the dollar/yen occurred during the 2007-2008 Federal Reserve rate cut cycle, when the global financial crisis led to the unwinding of yen carry trades, causing the yen to strengthen significantly. Despite the recent cooling of the US job market, the risks of a sustained balance sheet recession and a hard economic landing in the US remain limited.

🚀 New Bitcoin Protocol CATNIP Aims To Improve User Experience

According to Odaily, Udi Wertheimer, an advocate of OP_CAT and co-founder of Taproot Wizards, recently expressed on social media that the user experience of BRC-20 and Runes has been disappointing for most cryptocurrency enthusiasts. He noted that Bitcoin consensus, including nodes and miners, does not recognize their existence. Wertheimer introduced a new Bitcoin-native token protocol called CATNIP, based on OP_CAT recursive contracts, which aims to address these issues.

CATNIP allows for partial order fulfillment in the market, enabling users to purchase the exact amount of tokens they need without pre-splitting UTXOs. It also supports bidding, where users can specify the amount of CATNIP they wish to buy at a certain BTC price, allowing one or more sellers to complete the transaction. This protocol will even enable on-chain L1 AMM and liquidity pools. However, due to Bitcoin's slow block times and other issues related to transaction relay strategies, Wertheimer believes that L1 AMM will not provide a good experience. Nonetheless, CATNIP will also support fast and secure off-chain AMM, such as using CatVM.

CATNIP is currently under development and testing. The team plans to launch the protocol when OP_CAT goes live on the Bitcoin mainnet.

🚀 Bitcoin's Performance Likely Unaffected By Upcoming US Presidential Election

According to Odaily, Matrixport has released a chart indicating that while much attention is given to the potential impact of the next US president on Bitcoin, the actual influence may be more on the regulatory environment of the Bitcoin ecosystem rather than on Bitcoin itself. During the Republican administration (2016-2020) and the Democratic administration (2020-2024), cryptocurrencies experienced significant growth. Therefore, despite the media's focus on the upcoming election, Bitcoin is likely to maintain a positive performance regardless of who takes office.

🚀 Marco Monaco Resigns From Linea

According to Odaily, Marco Monaco, co-founder and head of growth at Linea, has announced his resignation from his position and will no longer be involved with the company in any capacity. Monaco revealed that he resigned from Consensys in mid-June and officially left the Linea project in mid-July. Over the past two years, he dedicated nearly 20 hours a day to bringing a commercial vision to Linea and building a vibrant ecosystem. He expressed a desire for more time to fully realize his vision and change the perception of the network, focusing more on the Linea community and improving organic engagement with the help of MetaMask, rather than just viewing it as a mining purpose. Linea is currently undergoing significant changes. Consensys leadership and Monaco agreed that the best path forward for Linea does not involve him personally, as their visions no longer align. It is now time for Consensys and MetaMask to fully step in and drive the network's development.
