What company are you watching this earnings season? 👇 $NVDAB
NVIDIA has just made a massive move in the stock market.
📌 NVIDIA’s Board approved an additional $150 billion share repurchase authorization. 📌 Total remaining buyback authorization now stands at $235 billion. 📌 The company expects to execute the program through fiscal 2028. 📌 NVIDIA says this is the largest share-repurchase authorization increase in history.
The move comes as NVIDIA continues to benefit from strong demand for AI and accelerated-computing technology.
💡 Why it matters: Share buybacks can reduce the number of outstanding shares and potentially affect earnings per share, although the actual impact depends on how and when the repurchases are executed.
👀 The AI + NVIDIA story continues to dominate markets.

🇨🇳 CHINA INDUSTRIAL PROFIT GROWTH SLOWS FOR 4TH MONTH 📉
China’s industrial sector is showing signs of slower profit growth.
📊 August: Industrial profits rose 4.2% YoY 📊 Jan–Aug: Profits increased 15.7% YoY 📉 Down from 17.6% growth through July 🔻 The slowdown has continued for four consecutive months
At the same time, some technology-related industries are performing strongly, with computer, communications and electronic equipment among the major profit-growth sectors.
Weak domestic demand and higher energy costs remain important factors for manufacturers, while AI-related technology demand is supporting parts of the industrial sector.
🌐 Why does this matter for crypto?
China’s economic data can influence global risk sentiment, commodities, currencies and broader financial markets, which can indirectly affect crypto markets.
⚠️ Economic data does not guarantee a specific move in BTC or other cryptocurrencies. DYOR and manage risk.
A major update has emerged following the Bitget security breach.
🔴 About $83M worth of stolen XRP has reportedly been moved from three wallets linked to the attacker.
📌 Around 103M XRP was initially stolen and split across five wallets. 📌 Roughly $75M reportedly remains across the original wallets. 📌 XRP itself cannot be frozen by Ripple because it is the native asset of the XRP Ledger. 📌 Exchanges can still restrict accounts if stolen XRP reaches their platforms.
Bitget says the affected assets are covered by its protection fund and that customer balances remain unaffected.
👀 The crypto community is now watching where the remaining XRP moves next.
⚠️ Security incidents highlight the importance of using reputable platforms, enabling strong account security, and managing crypto risk carefully.
📌 Strategy: +950 BTC for approximately $75.7M 📌 Strive: +1,355 BTC for approximately $107.7M 📌 Combined: 2,305 BTC worth about $182.7M 📌 Strategy now holds 846,000 BTC 📌 Strive's holdings increased to 26,355 BTC
The purchases were made during the week of September 14–20, with average acquisition prices of about $79,670 for Strategy and $79,475 for Strive.
👀 Big question: Will more public companies increase their Bitcoin treasury holdings?
⚠️ Corporate accumulation does not guarantee that BTC's price will rise. Crypto markets remain volatile. DYOR and manage your risk.
Circle has reportedly minted approximately $500 million in USDC on Solana within six hours. 👀
📌 Fresh USDC liquidity enters the Solana ecosystem 📌 Solana's total stablecoin supply recently reached around $17.3B 📌 USDC remains a major part of Solana's stablecoin liquidity 📌 Large stablecoin mints can reflect demand for liquidity, but they do not automatically mean SOL will rise
This is another notable development for Solana's growing stablecoin ecosystem. 🌐
What do you think this means for $SOL and the Solana ecosystem? 👇

Polymarket is facing fresh scrutiny over prediction-market contracts tied to potential bank failures.
📌 Contracts have allowed traders to speculate on whether major banks such as JPMorgan, Bank of America and Wells Fargo could fail by the end of 2026.
📊 Reported trading volume remains relatively small, but FDIC officials are concerned that larger markets could potentially influence depositor behavior and contribute to financial instability.
🔎 Another issue being discussed is whether people with access to nonpublic information could misuse prediction markets.
Polymarket argues that prediction markets can aggregate information and provide real-time signals about financial risks.
The debate highlights a bigger question for the crypto and prediction-market industry:
Can prediction markets improve information discovery without creating new financial risks? 👀

Binance has announced that Cross Margin, Portfolio Margin, and Portfolio Margin Pro will now accept 3 more bStocks (tokenized securities) as eligible collateral assets:
🔹 Cypherpunk Technologies (CYPHB)
🔹 AMC Entertainment Holdings (AMCB)
🔹 Axe Compute (AGPUB)
⏰ Effective: September 23, 2026, 12:00 PM (UTC)
bStocks are 1:1 backed tokenized versions of real-world US stocks, tradable 24/7 without the limits of traditional market hours. With these three tokens now added to the margin collateral list, traders get more flexibility to diversify their portfolios — combining traditional equity exposure with crypto liquidity in one place.
