How to Make Chronic Care Fit Into Patients’ Lives
When Garrett Vogel was 11, his parents thought he had the flu. They gave him Gatorade—lots of it—not realizing he was actually experiencing symptoms of Type 1 diabetes. By the time he reached the hospital, his blood sugar was well over 1,000.
Vogel, an on-air host for Elvis Duran and the Morning Show and a Type 1 diabetes advocate, recalled this moment in a conversation with psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Judith Joseph and Ashley McEvoy, president and CEO of Insulet, which sponsored the event, about how chronic care could better accommodate patients’ daily lives. For Vogel, that starts with recognizing how much emotional work follows a diagnosis. As a kid, he didn’t immediately understand that diabetes wasn’t something that would disappear the next day. His endocrinologist gave him the medical facts, he said, but his parents were left to do much of the emotional “heavy lifting.”
More than three decades later, Vogel said he’s still learning how to live with the condition. Technology has made managing it easier—but so has becoming more comfortable asking questions and talking to other people who understand what it’s like. One of the most important lessons, he said, has been “not being scared to ask questions.” Even strangers living with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes can find common ground in the daily work of managing diabetes.
McEvoy, who leads Insulet, the maker of the wearable, tubeless Omnipod insulin pump, said designing better technology requires understanding the details of patients’ days—not simply examining their clinical data. She also stressed that Type 2 diabetes is a chronic, progressive disease, and due to misconceptions, people who have it don’t always receive the same compassion as those with Type 1. “There’s not as much empathy in Type 2,” she said.
Insulet is working on technology for people with Type 2 diabetes that would reduce the number of decisions they have to make. McEvoy described an automated system designed so patients wouldn’t have to administer mealtime insulin doses, manually adjust their dosage, or enter settings. That could make it easier for primary-care doctors—not only endocrinologists—to recommend the technology and oversee patients who use it.
Joseph emphasized that treating a chronic illness means paying attention to what’s happening psychologically, too. Medical environments can feel sterile and frightening, she said, leaving patients feeling as though their doctors don’t truly see them.
“The body is under a lot of stress, especially mental stress,” Joseph said. “It’s hard to heal.” Paying attention to the mind-body connection, she added, can improve patients’ health outcomes.
Online communities can provide another source of support. Joseph described studying people with a rare condition who had felt “unseen” and “invisible” until they found each other on social media. Patients who don’t get the answers they need from one doctor can now turn to people with similar experiences, learn from them, and bring that information back to their health care providers.
Patients aren’t simply receiving care anymore, Joseph said. Increasingly, they’re helping teach health professionals what they need.
She ended by urging people with chronic conditions to reject the idea that illness is somehow proof they—or their child—did something wrong. “Challenge that feeling of shame,” Joseph said.
Robinhood has added searchable asset pages for JUGGERNAUT and FRONG, helping the Robinhood Chain meme coins climb as much as 500% and 130%, respectively, despite neither token being available for spot trading on Robinhood Crypto.
Summary
- JUGGERNAUT surged more than 500% within an hour before trimming part of the gain.
- FRONG climbed nearly 130% and reached a reported all-time high of $0.0164.
- Robinhood’s additions are searchable asset pages, not confirmed spot-market listings.
- Robinhood Chain generated a reported $4.5 billion in decentralized exchange volume over 30 days.
Robinhood asset pages trigger meme coin buying
Whale Scan first drew attention to searchable Robinhood asset pages for JUGGERNAUT and FRONG on Thursday, although Robinhood did not announce spot trading support for either token.
The pages allow Robinhood users to search for the tokens and monitor their market data. They do not mean Robinhood Crypto has enabled customers to buy or sell either asset on its centralized trading platform.
Confusion over the distinction appears to have contributed to the initial reaction. Myriad Markets co-founder Farokh Sarmad told his followers that Robinhood had created pages for the tokens rather than completed exchange listings.
“Basically, all they make is asset pages on Robinhood and you can search the coin, it’s not a listing,” Sarmad said.
Neither Robinhood nor Robinhood Crypto announced spot support for JUGGERNAUT or FRONG at the time of writing. A future spot listing also remains unconfirmed, meaning the appearance of an asset page should not be treated as a promise that trading support will follow.
Market-data pages are common across financial platforms because they let users follow assets that the platforms do not offer for trading. In this case, however, traders linked the newly searchable pages to possible Robinhood exposure and moved into the tokens on-chain.
JUGGERNAUT price soars more than 500%
JUGGERNAUT recorded the larger move, rising more than 500% within an hour of the asset page becoming visible. The token later gave back some of the advance, but remained approximately 380% higher at the time covered by the source report.
During the 24-hour period, JUGGERNAUT traded between a reported low of $0.0022 and a high of $0.0208. Its trading volume increased by more than 3,000%, showing that the price move came with a sharp rise in market activity.
Such percentage gains can be magnified when a small token trades in pools with limited liquidity. Under those conditions, a wave of purchases can push the quoted price up quickly, while large sales may produce an equally fast decline.
FRONG followed with a gain of nearly 130% before trimming its advance to about 100%. The token traded near $0.0106 and reached an all-time high of $0.0164 during the rally. Its 24-hour trading volume increased by more than 1,300% as activity around the token accelerated.
The gains came while the main crypto market pulled back following hotter-than-expected U.S. producer inflation data. According to the source report, U.S. PPI inflation reached 5.6%, adding pressure to risk assets even as activity in the two Robinhood Chain tokens accelerated.
Robinhood Chain meme coins draw speculative volume
Robinhood built its Ethereum layer-2 network around tokenized stocks and other real-world assets, yet permissionless token creation has also turned the chain into an active venue for meme coin trading.
According to figures in the source report, decentralized exchanges on Robinhood Chain processed $4.5 billion in volume during the previous 30 days. Tokenized stocks, exchange-traded funds, commodities, and U.S. Treasuries accounted for $166.5 million in value on the network.
CASHCAT became an early example of the speculative activity. In July, crypto.news examined the token after its market capitalization reached about $156 million, even though the project had no formal connection to Robinhood Markets.
The report found that CASHCAT had a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens and described itself as “fan fiction with a ticker.” At one stage, its market value stood at roughly 12 times the value of all tokenized real-world assets then recorded on Robinhood Chain.
CASHCAT remains the only meme coin from the network identified in the supplied report as available for spot trading through Robinhood. JUGGERNAUT and FRONG, by comparison, can be traded through on-chain venues but have only received searchable pages on Robinhood’s asset directory.
Early activity also relied heavily on Noxa, a launchpad that supported more than 60,000 token deployments and controlled about 75% of launches on the chain. The platform later halted new launches after generating more than $12 million in fees, while CASHCAT fell by over 33%.
A separate examination of the Noxa platform outage found that its system added single-sided liquidity to Uniswap V3 pools when tokens launched. Noxa stopped accepting new projects on July 11, before its website became unavailable two days later.
U.S. users still face the risks of on-chain trading
Robinhood Markets is a U.S.-listed financial services company, but the presence of a token on Robinhood Chain does not make it an official Robinhood product. Permissionless networks allow outside developers to deploy tokens without the company creating, owning, or endorsing them.
For American users, the difference between a Robinhood asset page and a Robinhood Crypto market affects where and how a trade takes place. Buying an unsupported token through a decentralized exchange may require a self-custody wallet, network fees, and interaction with an on-chain liquidity pool rather than a standard Robinhood brokerage order.
Robinhood’s disclosures for supported crypto assets do not automatically extend to unrelated tokens deployed on its blockchain. Users must therefore check the contract address, available liquidity, and project ownership before making an on-chain transaction.
The Internal Revenue Service treats digital assets as property for U.S. federal tax purposes. A sale, exchange, or disposal of JUGGERNAUT or FRONG may create a reportable capital gain or loss for a U.S. taxpayer, including when the trade takes place through a decentralized exchange rather than a centralized platform.
Robinhood Chain has also faced pressure from heavy trading activity. Demand involving tokenized assets recently contributed to a network outage, temporarily disrupting transactions on a chain carrying stocks, ETFs, commodities and tokenized U.S. Treasuries.
IREN Limited (IREN) shares fell 3.3% on Thursday to $43.87, even as co-CEO Daniel Roberts told investors the company had just passed its hardest operational test.
Roberts published a readout from two days of investor meetings at Goldman Sachs’ technology conference in San Francisco. He said the market has stopped paying for contract announcements and now wants delivered capacity.
Why Mega-Deal Headlines Stopped Working
IREN started as a Bitcoin miner, but it now builds data centers and rents the computing power inside them to companies training AI models, a shift that has lifted several miner stocks this year.
Roberts said in an X post that investors have grown numb to deals worth $20 billion to $40 billion. For customers, such contracts are a cheap option on capacity. For young providers, they are a way to raise money. Neither guarantees anything gets built.
The question he called the fairest of the week was whether IREN can run a cloud business at scale, not simply pour concrete.
The $1 Billion Question Behind the Drop
IREN booked $70.5 million of AI cloud revenue in the June quarter. It also claims roughly $1 billion of operating annualized run rate, meaning the revenue current contracts would produce over a full year.
A further $4 billion is contracted for 2026 capacity. None of that lands in reported revenue until sites switch on and customers formally accept them.
“The biggest debate on our stock: the gap between $71m of quarterly AI Cloud revenue and $1bn of ARR operating, $4bn contracted for year end. Is it real, and will we deliver? Some disappointment with last quarter traces to ramp assumptions that ran ahead of anything we guided. That’s on us to manage better. Specific sites, tighter windows,” Roberts noted.
Microsoft accepted the first block, a 50 megawatt site called Horizon 1, in August under a $9.7 billion five year agreement. Three more are due before year end.
Meanwhile, ten analysts still carry an average target of $75.67, roughly 72% above Thursday’s price.
BeInCrypto flagged $47 in July as the level IREN had to reclaim to confirm the AI trade. The stock ran to $45.37 on Thursday morning and faded, leaving that ceiling untouched two months later.

Ethereum (ETH) exchange supply has fallen to roughly 15.5 million coins, the lowest reading in years. Meanwhile, MVRV momentum turned positive in late August.
ETH trades near $2,464 after a 0.87% decline over 24 hours. The token holds above the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement at $2,438.85, a level that capped rallies from March through May.
Ethereum Exchange Supply Drops to a Multi-Year Low
Glassnode data shows total ETH held across all exchanges at roughly 15.5 million coins. That marks a decline of about 38% from the May 2023 peak near 25.2 million. Most of the drawdown arrived after June 2025, when balances still sat close to 21.5 million.
However, the trend alone has proved a weak timing tool. Exchange balances fell steadily from September 2025 through June 2026. Over that same window, ETH slid from about $4,850 to roughly $1,550.
Shrinking supply, therefore, looks like a condition rather than a signal. It removes sellable float without setting a direction.
MVRV Momentum Turns Positive for the First Time Since November 2025
That missing direction may now have arrived. Ethereum’s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio sits near 1.05, above its 160-day moving average at roughly 0.88.
The crossover happened in the second half of August. It ended a negative momentum phase that ran for about nine months from November 2025.
The moving average has also stopped falling and has begun to curve higher. Historically, that shift separates durable regime changes from brief whipsaws. Still, the signals remain roughly three weeks old.
ETH Price Prediction and the $2,438 Line That Decides It
ETH now trades at $2,464.81, down 0.87% on the day, with a market capitalization near $300.8 billion. Price sits just above the 0.618 retracement at $2,438.85. That zone acted as resistance from mid-March to mid-May and now appears to support.
Volume has declined every week since the late-August surge. The Bollinger Band Width Percentile (BBWP) also sits near the floor of its range. Compression of that kind usually precedes expansion, although it does not indicate direction. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) reads about 60, cooling from roughly 80 in late August.
A sustained hold could open the 0.5 retracement at $2,919.89, roughly 18% higher. In contrast, a loss of $2,438.85 leaves little structure until $1,980. That gap makes the current outlook unusually binary.
The two on-chain readings supply the directional lean that compression cannot. Ethereum has spent more than a year losing exchange float without reward. The difference now is that valuation momentum has turned alongside it. A drop back below the 160-day average would remove that support.

Geneva, Switzerland, September 10, 2026 — TRON DAO, the community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), today announced expanded support for MetaMask across the TRON ecosystem, with B.AI, SUN.io, JustLend DAO and BitTorrent now supporting MetaMask connectivity through their respective dApps.
MetaMask, one of the world’s largest consumer platforms for onchain finance, gives users direct control over their money and access to the onchain economy. Earlier this year, MetaMask launched native support for the TRON network across both its mobile and browser extension platforms. Building on that launch, users now have more ways to interact with applications across the TRON ecosystem using MetaMask.
B.AI is a financial infrastructure platform designed to give AI agents their own identities and the ability to transact independently, powering autonomous payments and on-chain execution for the emerging agent economy. SUN.io, TRON’s leading decentralized platform with over $650 million in total value locked (TVL), enables users to connect with MetaMask to access its high-performance SunSwap V4 decentralized exchange and automated market maker.
JustLend DAO, TRON’s lending protocol, holds more than $7 billion in TVL and supports borrowing, lending, and staking. BitTorrent provides cross-chain interoperability through BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) and decentralized storage through the BitTorrent File System (BTFS).
“By expanding MetaMask dApp connectivity across TRON ecosystem applications, we’re giving users more ways to interact with TRON through a wallet they already know and use,” said Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson of the TRON DAO. “By expanding MetaMask connectivity across TRON’s dApp ecosystem, we are enabling millions of users worldwide to experience TRON’s speed, affordability, and ecosystem depth without changing the tools they already rely on.”
“Native TRON support in MetaMask gives users greater flexibility to interact with the TRON ecosystem using the wallet they already know,” said Dan Rosario, Ecosystem Engagement Manager at MetaMask. “As more applications across the TRON ecosystem implement MetaMask connectivity, users have more ways to engage with the network while maintaining the control that comes with self-custody.”
TRON is a leading global settlement layer for stablecoins, processing more than $23 billion in average daily transfer volume and hosting more than $94 billion of circulating USDT on-chain. Native TRON support in MetaMask enables users to manage TRON-based assets and connect their wallet to supported applications across the TRON ecosystem.
As more TRON applications implement MetaMask connectivity, users have additional ways to interact with the network through a familiar self-custodial wallet.

Dan Ives says software stocks have earned their clearest buy signal in months. Oracle’s latest earnings marked a turning point for a sector many investors had shunned.
Ives, a partner and senior managing director at Yorkville Ives, made the comments on CNBC’s Fast Money. He said institutional investors have to rotate back into software, pointing to Oracle, Adobe, Palantir and Snowflake.
Investors “Caught Offsides” as Sentiment Shifts
Ives argued Wall Street had underpriced Oracle’s backlog. He said the street assumed a 50% to 60% chance the backlog never converts to revenue. That conversion depends on Oracle building out enough data center capacity to meet demand from its cloud and AI customers.
“This is a penalty box stock.”
Dan Ives, CNBC
He added that one strong quarter will not be enough. Oracle needs to show follow-through before the market fully re-rates the stock. Investors will not give the company credit for one earnings beat after months of skepticism.
Software Has Similarities to Semicinductors
Ives drew a contrast with semiconductors, where he remains more confident. He pointed to a 13-to-1 demand-to-supply ratio in Asian chip markets.
He said that leaves Nvidia the safer bet over AMD or Intel as they try to close the gap. That caution echoes a broader debate around chipmaker earnings reactions, where sentiment has swung sharply on any sign of slowing demand.
Software’s rebound follows a rough stretch. The sector had lagged for months on AI-driven fears before a string of software earnings turnarounds changed the narrative.
Ives said the shift is now visible across the software trade, not just at a single company.
Ives stopped short of declaring an outright buy signal, though.
“It’s like a lime green actually.”
Dan Ives, CNBC
The distinction matters. Ives is describing a sector still proving itself, not one investors should chase blindly. Whether that lime green deepens may hinge on Oracle’s follow-through in coming quarters.

Secretary Scott Bessent warned that failing to pass the CLARITY Act would send a “troubling signal” about America’s leadership in the digital asset industry.
The CLARITY Act has encountered a new Senate dispute over vertical integration rules ahead of its Sep. 15 cloture vote, which requires 60 votes to advance the crypto market structure bill.
Summary
- Democrats want regulators to set conflict-of-interest standards for vertically integrated crypto companies.
- Republicans support safeguards but fear a future administration could misuse the proposed authority.
- Senators Cory Booker, Cynthia Lummis, and John Boozman are negotiating the provision.
- Polymarket traders give the bill a 17% chance of becoming law in 2026.
CLARITY Act negotiations focus on vertical integration
Politico reported on Sep. 10 that Senate Democrats are pressing for language directing regulators to create standards for vertically integrated crypto businesses, adding another unresolved matter to negotiations over the CLARITY Act.
Under the proposal described by Politico, the standards would address conflicts that can arise when one company controls several parts of a crypto transaction or market. Democratic senators have argued that the language follows principles Republicans supported when the legislation moved forward earlier in 2026.
In crypto markets, vertical integration can place exchange operations, trading services, custody, and other functions under related corporate entities. FTX provided a prominent example because it operated a crypto exchange while its affiliated firm, Alameda Research, served as a market maker and conducted trading activity.
According to Politico, Republican senators support conflict-of-interest protections but have raised concerns about giving regulators extensive power over vertically integrated companies. GOP lawmakers fear that a future Democratic administration could use the provision against crypto businesses through stricter enforcement or rulemaking.
Industry representatives have also opposed the Democratic proposal, Politico said, although the supplied report did not identify the companies or trade groups involved in the discussions.
The disagreement has arrived as the Senate prepares for a procedural vote on Sep.r 15. Senate Majority Leader John Thune filed the cloture motion before the August recess, and the vote will determine whether senators can begin formal debate rather than decide whether the bill becomes law.
A recent crypto.news report on the Sep. 15 vote said cloture requires 60 senators. With Republicans holding 53 seats, supporters would need backing from at least seven Democrats or independents if every Republican votes in favor.
Senators seek common ground on consumer protections
Democratic Sen. Cory Booker is negotiating the vertical integration language with Republican Sen. Cynthia Lummis and Senate Agriculture Committee Chair John Boozman, according to Politico.
Booker told the publication that the two parties have “shared values” in the talks, indicating that they agree on the need to address certain conflicts even though they have not settled the bill’s wording.
At the same time, Booker made his support conditional on stronger safeguards for users.
“I will not support a bill that does not protect consumers from the potential downsides of a Web 3.0,” he told Politico.
Negotiators must decide how much authority regulators should receive, which companies would fall under the provision, and what conduct would violate the standards. Politico’s report did not say that lawmakers had reached a final agreement on any of those points.
The vertical integration issue joins an unsettled ethics provision covering crypto activity by public officials. Democrats and Republicans have yet to reach a bipartisan agreement on that section, while banks continue to press lawmakers for tighter restrictions on rewards tied to stablecoins.
Earlier coverage of the bill noted that an ethics clause in a July draft would restrict the president, vice president, members of Congress, and their spouses from issuing or sponsoring digital assets while in office. The Department of Justice would enforce the restriction under that version, with penalties reaching $250,000 per day.
Democrats have sought tougher enforcement and longer-lasting restrictions, while Republicans have warned that expanding the provision could cost the legislation White House support. President Donald Trump has urged Congress to approve the bill, but his family’s involvement in digital assets has kept ethics language at the center of the negotiations.
Stablecoin rewards remain another obstacle
Banking groups are separately lobbying against language that would allow certain rewards connected with stablecoins. The dispute concerns whether crypto exchanges and their affiliates should be permitted to offer payments that resemble interest on dollar-pegged tokens.
According to the earlier Sep. 10 report, the CLARITY Act would prohibit stablecoin yield that operates like interest on a bank deposit while permitting rewards connected with payments, transactions, or liquidity provision. Banks have called for restrictions to extend to exchanges and affiliated businesses.
Coinbase has a direct financial interest in the outcome because its USDC rewards programs generate about $1.35 billion in annual revenue, the report said. Banking groups contend that such products can draw deposits away from traditional lenders even when issuers do not label the payments as interest.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has also urged senators to pass the CLARITY Act, warning that failure could weaken U.S. leadership in digital assets and limit tools used to oversee the sector. His intervention came as lawmakers continued talks over ethics, stablecoin rewards and consumer protection requirements.
For U.S. investors and crypto companies, the legislation would determine how federal oversight is divided between the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The bill would create classifications for digital assets and establish registration and operating standards for exchanges, brokers, and dealers handling digital commodities.
The proposed regulatory framework would also require customer asset segregation and anti-money-laundering controls for registered digital-asset intermediaries. Non-custodial software developers could receive exemptions from money-transmitter registration under separate provisions, subject to limits involving illicit transactions.
September vote may not settle the bill’s fate
Even if the Senate approves cloture, the procedural result would only open debate. Senators could still amend the legislation before holding a final vote, and any version passed by the chamber would need to be reconciled with the House bill.
The House previously approved the legislation by a 294-134 vote, giving it bipartisan support in that chamber. Senate passage remains more difficult because supporters must first clear the 60-vote cloture threshold before reaching a final vote.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has said the crypto sector will still receive regulatory guidance if the Senate effort fails, as agencies can continue writing rules under their existing authority. Agency rules, however, would not carry the same permanence as federal legislation and could be revised by a later administration.
Scheduling has created another procedural constraint. House leaders canceled sessions planned for the weeks of Sep. 21 and Sep. 28, leaving little time to reconcile and approve a Senate version before lawmakers leave Washington for the midterm elections.
A final vote could therefore move into the lame-duck session after the elections even if senators approve cloture on Sep. 15. Polymarket traders currently assign a 17% probability that President Trump will sign the CLARITY Act into law before the end of 2026.

Malone Lam, a 22-year-old Singaporean national, pleaded guilty to one count of RICO conspiracy over an operation that stole and laundered more than $245 million in cryptocurrency.
The US Justice Department announced the plea, entered before US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday. It is reportedly the first time federal prosecutors have applied racketeering law to a Bitcoin-related crime. RICO conspiracy is a charge under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, written for organized crime. The single count folds the social engineering, the break-ins and the laundering into one case, instead of prosecuting each theft on its own.
How the ring worked
Court documents describe an enterprise formed through connections on online gaming platforms that operated from no later than October 2023 through at least May 2025. Prosecutors alleged members posed as Google support staff, then as Gemini support, and persuaded a victim to reset two-factor authentication and run screen-sharing software that exposed private keys. The proceeds, prosecutors alleged, moved through crypto mixers, exchanges, pass-through wallets and virtual private networks.
Prosecutors initially accused Lam and Jeandiel Serrano of fraudulently obtaining more than 4,100 Bitcoin from a single Washington, D.C. victim on Aug. 18, 2024.
From theft case to racketeering case
On May 15, 2025, prosecutors filed an expanded indictment charging 12 additional defendants and putting total thefts at more than $263 million, a total that covers thefts beyond the $245 million conspiracy covered by the plea. It also included a separate $14 million theft in July 2024 and an alleged home break-in targeting a hardware wallet.
Prosecutors alleged members spent the proceeds on private jets, rental properties, watches and at least 28 exotic cars, some priced as high as $3.8 million each, and ran nightclub bills reaching $500,000 in a single evening. Restitution of roughly $245 million was reportedly ordered.
Lam faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. No sentencing date has been announced; a status hearing is scheduled for Dec. 8, 2026.

Analyst Ben Cowen warns a looming Anthropic initial public offering (IPO) could drain attention from Bitcoin (BTC). He says the asset is already fighting to extend its recent rebound.
The Into The Cryptoverse founder pointed to Bitcoin’s pullback ahead of SpaceX’s June listing as a precedent. He argued a similar rotation into artificial intelligence (AI) stocks could repeat.
Anthropic’s IPO Echoes the SpaceX Playbook
Anthropic, the AI company behind the Claude chatbot, confidentially filed IPO paperwork in June. It is reportedly targeting a listing window as early as this fall. Some estimates value the company near $2 trillion.
Cowen argued a similar dynamic hit Bitcoin before SpaceX went public. He said the asset sold off in the weeks before that listing as investor interest shifted toward AI-linked equities.
“We now have the anthropic IPO coming up probably in a month or two.”
Cowen made the comment in the same video where he tallies Bitcoin’s bull and bear signals. That scorecard includes his $53,000 realized price warning, a level he has flagged before.
Bitcoin’s Rally is Stalling
Bitcoin traded near $76,966, down 1.73% over the past 24 hours, according to BeInCrypto data. Banks are also pushing Anthropic and OpenAI toward investment grade credit ratings ahead of their IPOs. That effort signals how close Wall Street believes the listings are.
Bitcoin has broken through to near $83,000 since its August Rally, but the asset has struggled to stay above the $80,000 in recent weeks.
Cowen’s broader point is that momentum is finite. If retail and institutional attention concentrates on AI listings this fall, Bitcoin could lose momentum. A sustained rally typically needs that same speculative interest.
Whether that rotation happens may depend on how close Anthropic’s listing lands to Bitcoin’s next price test.

B.AI, SUN.io, JustLend DAO, and BitTorrent Expand MetaMask Connectivity, Driving Global DeFi Access
Singapore, September 10, 2026 — B.AI, SUN.io, JustLend DAO, and BitTorrent, four leading decentralized applications (dApps) across the TRON ecosystem, now support MetaMask connectivity.
MetaMask, one of the world’s largest consumer platforms for onchain finance, giving users direct control over their money and access to the onchain economy. This gives MetaMask users direct, in-wallet access to these dApps through a single, familiar interface, simplifying complex on-chain workflows and lowering the barrier to entry for global users.
Bringing TRON’s Leading dApps to MetaMask
B.AI, a financial infrastructure platform designed to give AI agents their own identities and the ability to transact independently. Its architecture includes the x402 payment protocol, the 8004 identity authentication protocol, an MCP Server, and BAIclaw, which enables AI agents to verify one another, transact autonomously, and execute high-frequency financial operations on-chain. Access via MetaMask extends these capabilities to a broader global user base.
SUN.io, TRON’s leading decentralized platform with over $650 million in total value locked (TVL) and more than 26,000 liquidity pools, enables users to connect with MetaMask to access its high-performance, low-cost automated market maker (AMM), SunSwap V4, which features programmable hooks that allow developers and AI agents to embed custom logic directly into liquidity pools.
JustLend DAO, TRON’s leading lending platform with over $7 billion in TVL, provides capital-efficient infrastructure for on-chain borrowing, lending, and staking. Through MetaMask, users can access energy rental services and yield opportunities, optimizing transaction costs and supporting sustained high-frequency activity.
BitTorrent completes TRON’s on-chain and autonomous systems stack by providing cross-chain and data layers that allow the ecosystem to scale. BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) enables seamless interoperability between TRON, Ethereum, and BNB Chain, while the BitTorrent File System (BTFS) delivers secure, low-cost decentralized storage. Together, supporting scalable, cross-chain operations for both users and AI agents.
Expanding a Global Web3 Gateway
With MetaMask connectivity now supported across these dApps, users can manage TRON-based assets, transfer tokens such as TRX and USDT, and execute swaps directly within MetaMask. The addition of MetaMask connectivity across B.AI, SUN.io, JustLend DAO, and BitTorrent shifts user access to a unified wallet-based experience, improving usability and connectivity across blockchain networks.
As decentralized finance and AI-driven applications continue to converge, this milestone positions TRON’s ecosystem to scale alongside global user demand. By aligning high-performance infrastructure with a widely adopted Web3 gateway, the ecosystem is better equipped to drive liquidity, improve capital efficiency, and accelerate adoption of DeFi and AI use cases at scale.
About B.AI
B.AI is a financial infrastructure built for the AI Agent era, designed to address the core challenges agents face in model access, payments, settlement, identity, and coordination. Through a unified API and settlement network, B.AI enables AI Agents to connect more freely to leading global models and services, while using agent wallets to pay, get paid, and exchange value autonomously. At the same time, B.AI builds verifiable identity and credit primitives for agents through on-chain accounts, helping AI evolve from software tools into economic actors that can transact, collaborate, and operate continuously at scale. By lowering barriers to model access, enabling seamless value transfer, and establishing an economic framework for intelligent agents, B.AI aims to accelerate the maturation of the AI Agent ecosystem, advance the real-world development of AGI, and make the benefits of AI more accessible to a broader range of users and developers.
