The Bitget AI Hackathon S2 is entering the final stretch. Teams still have until September 27 to submit, so if you've been building, don't sleep on it. There's a 50,000 USDT prize pool with multiple lanes to compete in. It's not just about chasing the grand prize. And here's the interesting part: you don't have to compete to take part. The audience prizes let you vote for your favorite submissions and earn USDT, too. Two ways to participate: • Submit your project before the deadline • Join as an audience member and vote when public voting opens Public voting runs from September 24–29, according to @Bitget_AI Build, submit, or simply show up and support the teams. The sprint is on. bitget.com/activity-hub/hack… #BitgetHackathon

Robinhood Chain is sitting around $1B in DeFi TVL, and the activity around it is getting harder to ignore. DeFiLlama shows roughly $1.5B+ in DEX volume over the past 24 hours, with stablecoin supply around $1.07B But the more interesting part is where that liquidity is going. Morpho is sitting around $558M in TVL, while Uniswap is handling a large share of the chain's trading activity. Over the past 7 days, DEX volume has remained in the $10B+ range. So activity hasn't disappeared. It's shifting. The real test now is whether this liquidity starts reaching more protocols and actual daily users instead of rotating between the same few venues. These aren't just launch numbers anymore. Robinhood's onchain bet is starting to look like a real ecosystem, and the next phase will be interesting to watch.

50,000 USDT prize pool. AI × tokenized US equities × 7×24. Bitget AI Base Camp S2 is here after S1 brought in 1,000+ teams, Bitget is pushing deeper into the Agentic Trading era with Agent Hub 2.0 as the infrastructure layer. 15+ sub-themes + open themes across Quant, Agentic Trading and AI Trading Desk means there’s more than one way to build, and smaller teams have real lanes too. The interesting part: Agent Hub 2.0 lets AI agents trade, pull market data and run workflows through your Bitget account, with support for tools like Claude, Cursor and Codex. Humans sleep. Agents don’t. If you’re building at the intersection of AI and markets, this is worth checking out: bitget.com/activity-hub/hack… @Bitget_AI #BitgetHackathon

8 years is a pretty solid milestone. @Bitget is celebrating it by putting the spotlight on traders and sharing some of their stories through the Perfect Traders Premiere. There’s also a $500 prize pool for the community, so I’m definitely checking this one out. Claim your ticket and tagging a friend to join the party. Worth joining the celebration #BitgetTurns8 #PerfectTraderPremiere

Stablecoins have crossed $300B. As they move from trading collateral toward financial infrastructure, capital efficiency becomes the next question. @Elara_HQ answer is elUSD, a liquid treasury asset, with sELUSD separating the managed-return position and its risks from day-to-day liquidity. That is a more interesting thesis than simply launching another yield token.

The CPI data is out, and it gives the market another reason to watch volatility closely. August CPI rose 0.4% MoM and 3.4% YoY, while core CPI increased 0.3% MoM and 2.4% YoY. The headline number held at 3.4%, but the hotter core reading and higher energy prices are keeping rate expectations in focus ahead of the FOMC. For traders, that means the reaction across stocks, gold and commodities could matter just as much as the CPI number itself. And when volatility picks up, getting the direction right isn’t the only thing that matters. Execution matters too. If I’m trading something like $AMD, $MU or $XAU around a major macro event, I want to know how much liquidity is sitting near the market. Thin order books can mean more slippage, worse fills and more friction when entering or exiting a position. That’s why the latest depth data from @Bitget_TradFi caught my attention. @bitget ranked #1 in near-market depth across 38 leading stock perp pairs: • $AMD — 9.8x deeper than #2
• $ARM — 8.4x
• $AAPL — 6.0x
• $MU — 2.6x
• $SNDK — 2.4x It also led across key commodities: • $XAU — 1.8x
• $CL — 1.6x
• $COPPER — 1.7x That’s where “Bitget’s stock liquidity runs deeper than you think” becomes relevant. The CPI number gives the market information. Liquidity helps determine how efficiently traders can react when that information moves price. With the FOMC next week, I’ll be watching both price direction and market depth. Perpetual futures involve leverage and significant risk, including liquidation and loss of capital. Trade responsibly and DYOR. #Bitget #TradFiPerps

Stablecoin chains aren’t a narrative. They’re infrastructure but “owning the rails” is more contested than it sounds. The stablechain category is getting crowded, with networks like @Arc , @Plasma , @tempo and @CodexFX building around stablecoin payments, settlement and financial activity. Settlement rails: → Circle’s Arc
→ Plasma
→ Tempo
→ Codex Financial layer: → Aave for stablecoin lending
→ Curve for stablecoin liquidity
→ Ethena with USDe
→ LayerZero for cross-chain liquidity And underneath it all: USDC, USDT, PYUSD, USDe and other dollar-denominated assets. The interesting part isn’t simply that stablecoins are growing. It’s that an entire stack is forming around them: Issuance → settlement → liquidity → lending → payments → FX. And increasingly, this is moving beyond crypto-native finance. Stablecoins are becoming payment infrastructure, while their use in cross-border markets makes the FX layer increasingly interesting. That’s a structural shift, not just another narrative rotation. But I’d push back on the “own the rails” thesis. This is already a crowded field. Multiple well-funded teams are building competing settlement layers around largely the same underlying assets. Value capture is still unresolved. Issuers can capture reserve yield. Liquidity venues can capture trading activity. Applications can capture lending, payments or FX flows. But the settlement layer itself? It could become a thin, commoditized utility if users ultimately care more about the stablecoin and the financial services built on top of it. Then there’s cross-chain infrastructure. Bridges and interoperability have historically carried significant security risk, so more liquidity moving across chains doesn’t automatically mean more value accrues to the infrastructure. And finally, regulation. Stablecoin clarity is a major tailwind, but it also means part of this growth remains dependent on how regulators treat dollar-backed digital assets. So yes, I think stablecoin infrastructure is a real trend worth watching. But the bigger question isn’t: “Who owns the rails?” It’s: Which layer of the stack actually captures the value? Issuance, settlement, liquidity, lending, payments and FX aren’t the same bet. That’s where this gets interesting.

Robinhood Chain already has the distribution and the RWA narrative. Now we need more products that put onchain capital somewhere useful. @BrilaFinance is moving to fill that gap. Today, $BRLA is set to launch, while the team explores bringing more of its stack to the chain. BRLA volume is just one piece of this. The bigger piece is the usage it creates for treasury products like @Elara_HQ. This is how we bring more productive capital into the RWA ecosystem.

Prediction markets had their first real cooldown in a year. Kalshi + Polymarket + Polymarket US did $45.33B in August volume, down 14.5% from July. Still, zoom out and the picture looks very different. August was nearly 77% higher than May’s $25.66B The timing is interesting too. The drop lines up almost perfectly with the end of the World Cup, which was a major catalyst for prediction-market activity. So this may be less about demand disappearing and more about the market coming down from a massive sports-driven spike. Now comes the real test. The NFL season kicks off September 9, and sports already makes up more than 88% of Kalshi’s volume. Both platforms are pushing hard into Week 1. If volume starts climbing again, August was probably just a breather. If it stays down, then maybe the World Cup really was the peak of this cycle. The next few weeks should be very interesting.

6 years is a long time in crypto. Most projects change direction a few times, but @useapexnetwork has stayed consistent about one thing: building around its users. I’ve watched Apex evolve, ship, and keep showing up for its community. That consistency is probably what stands out most to me. Apex@6 isn’t just about celebrating the past. It’s a reminder that sticking around, listening to your users and continuing to build actually matters. Curious to see what the next chapter looks like.

The interesting part about this week isn’t just the US jobs report. It’s how quickly the market can reprice AI stocks when macro data, Fed expectations and earnings are all hitting at the same time. We’ve already had Broadcom putting the AI infrastructure narrative to the test, and now the focus shifts to the US labor market. The August non-farm payrolls are expected to come in around 45K–55K, with unemployment around 4.1%. But I think the headline number is only one part of the setup. Wage growth, labor participation and the tone from the Fed matter just as much. If the jobs data comes in significantly stronger than expected, the market could start pricing a more hawkish Fed path. That would likely put pressure on growth and high-duration tech names like NVDA and other AI stocks. On the other hand, a much weaker labor market could revive rate-cut expectations, push yields lower and give growth stocks another bid. The tricky scenario is when the signals don’t line up. You could get strong AI fundamentals but a hawkish macro backdrop, or weaker macro data supporting tech while simultaneously raising recession concerns. That’s why I wouldn’t approach this kind of market with a simple “long or short” mindset. Execution and risk management become much more important when volatility picks up. Slippage can eat into an otherwise good entry, leverage can magnify a wrong call, and oversized positions can turn normal volatility into unnecessary stress. This is where I see @Bitget_TradFi Perps being interesting. Stock Perps give traders a separate derivatives tool to take long or short exposure around earnings, macro releases and changing market expectations. And when liquidity is important during fast-moving events, @Bitget stock liquidity runs deeper than you think. It’s not just about having an order available better liquidity can mean less friction when entering or exiting while the market is moving quickly. Then there’s the rToken side, which is a different part of the setup. rToken provides tokenized stock spot exposure, while Stock Perps are derivatives designed for long or short positioning. They’re not the same product, but they can complement each other within a broader strategy. For example, someone holding an eligible rToken position could maintain that spot exposure while using Stock Perps separately to hedge downside or express a short-term directional view. UTA then adds the account and collateral framework for capital efficiency where applicable. That’s what makes “One rToken, Triple the Play” more interesting to me than just a slogan. The value is in being able to think about spot exposure, capital efficiency and hedging as separate pieces that can fit into one broader trading strategy. Personally, I’m watching NVDA and the broader AI complex closely into the macro data. If yields jump and the Fed path gets repriced higher, I’d rather have the flexibility to hedge or take a short-term short than simply sit there hoping my spot position holds. If the data comes in soft and rate-cut expectations return, the same flexibility works in the opposite direction. The point isn’t to predict every candle. It’s to have the tools and risk management framework to react when the market gives you new information. If you’re watching the NFP volatility today, this is the kind of setup worth understanding before making a trade. Trade carefully, size positions responsibly and remember that leverage can amplify both gains and losses. This is not financial advice. #Bitget #TradFiPerps

This is the way.

Be honest, when last did you actually compare the rate before trading? Most people just open whatever app they normally use and hit swap. I’ve started checking Apex first. If I can get a better rate without adding extra stress to the process, why wouldn’t I? Check the rate yourself and see. Apex No Small. Best rate, fastest trade, always on.
