NEW: Enes Kanter Freedom REVEALS what happened during last night’s WNBA CONFRONTATION with Natasha Cloud as he celebrated a Sophie Cunningham three-pointer.

Cloud allegedly shouted: “She’s not gonna sleep with you” and he responded: “I’m just here to protect women and support her.”

He says the exchange eventually ended with security removing him from the arena and he later posted: “I just got kicked out of a WNBA game for supporting WOMEN! Let that sink in, AMERICA!”

TRON’s Q2 story was bigger than stablecoins.

The network recorded record transaction activity, while institutional access continued to expand across regulated markets and real world asset use cases.

At the protocol level, development also kept moving forward, with governance upgrades and post quantum security work laying the groundwork for the network’s next phase.

Stablecoin settlement remains a major strength, but the infrastructure around it is becoming just as important.

🔄 LIQUIDITY CREATES A SELF-REINFORCING NETWORK EFFECT

TRON’s share of global USDT circulation demonstrates how stablecoin liquidity can become a competitive moat.

When more USDT is available on a network, exchanges have stronger reasons to support it, wallets prioritize integration, merchants gain confidence in accepting it, and DeFi protocols can build deeper markets.

⚙️ THE TRON-USDT FLYWHEEL

🔹 More USDT supply brings deeper liquidity
🔹 Deeper liquidity attracts users and applications
🔹 More users generate greater transaction activity
🔹 Higher activity encourages additional integrations
🔹 Wider integration reinforces USDT demand on TRON
From my perspective, this is why scale matters. Liquidity does not remain isolated inside individual wallets. It circulates through payments, exchanges, lending protocols, decentralized markets, and business settlement.
TRON’s more than 400 million accounts provide an extensive distribution layer for that capital. Meanwhile, DeFi platforms such as JustLend DAO and https://t.co/u4SYeHjUeW give stablecoin liquidity additional ways to move and become productive.
However, maintaining this position requires continuous work. Infrastructure must remain efficient, transaction costs must stay competitive, and security systems must develop alongside adoption.
Having roughly half of global USDT circulation is a remarkable achievement, but the greater opportunity lies in what that liquidity can enable next.

Stablecoins brought global value onto TRON. Payments, DeFi, real-world assets, and intelligent agents may determine how that value is used in the future.

Zcash Becomes Dominant Source Of Support For Roman Storm

A fundraiser for Roman Storm has now received more than $1.3 million in crypto donations.

Zcash (@Zcash) zcash:native accounts for nearly $1.29 million of the total, according to the displayed figures.

Bitcoin bitcoin:native contributions stand at about $3,280, while Bitcoin Cash bitcoin-cash:native accounts for roughly $9,267.

Helius CEO, Mert Mumtaz, highlighted the Zcash support as a notable development amid Storm's legal battle.

Storm faces serious potential prison time over his work on privacy focused code.

FFF7 implies YE ‘26 policy rate at 3.885%, ESU6 -16 bp, 10s -2.7 bp, CLV6 -2%, BTC -1.2%

1) US blockade of Iran economy ends regime
2) Rise of Open/price cuts is IPO headwind
3) NVDA Q2 will talk chip life and Nemotron
4) SPX seasonal bias for +5% into Labor Day
5) Treasury long end buyback same as Fed
6) Poll bias may suggest Rs keep Congress

Iran - UKMTO says 200 ships transited the Strait last week, up from 150 the week prior and 40 2 weeks prior. US officials told Axios that 40 tankers, 16 M barrels of Oil, cleared the Strait Friday PM. Bessent Sunday: "At dawn begins an economic D-Day ...Our objective is to sever every economic lifeline that sustains the tyrannical regime until Tehran stands alone."

IPO-RR - On Friday, OAI cut GPT-5.6 Sol price for developers ​by 20% plus for next 3 months, $4/$20 per1 M ​input/output tokens. Anthropic prices Fable 5 at $10/$50 pre 1 M input/output tokens. G Baker flags Open Source token share went from 28% to 62% over last 2 months. Ramp data shows Fable 5 spending has plateaued at 11% of total for Anthropic tools.

Nvidia - Nvidia has licensed Poolside's 'Model Factory' platform for $6 B and has hired its engineering team. The goal is to build a US open AI ecosystem around Nemotron that competes with open China models and closed models from the US frontier labs. Nvidia reports Q2 results/outlook on Wednesday. NVDA will discuss the Nemotron-Poolside roadmap.

Seasonal - 10 sessions until Labor Day weekend. Over last 20 years, SPX rose 14 times and fell 6 times between July 4 and Labor Day. Average SPX move +2.4%. Excluding 2008 (GFC) and 2022 (Fed), average move +3.3%. Since TCJA (1/18), 7 gains and 1 loss. Average move +5.9%. Excluding 2022, average move +7.8%. SPX +2.7% since 7/2. +5%?

BB-Agita - On August 19, Bessent doubled the size of long end, 10 year and longer, buybacks to $4+ B per auction. The program runs 9/9-11/4. There are 7 10 year and longer auctions during that period. An extra $2 B per auction totals $14 B. Post GFC, the Fed bought $1.6 T nominal bonds beyond 10 years. With 10s and TIPS its more. $89 B/year for 18 years.

D-ripple - Ruffini (Echelon Insights): In the last 4 election cycles, Democrats have looked competitive in red state Senate recess during the Summer only to fade by election day. The average polling error across all polls was D+3.7, and 73% of polls overstated the Democrat relative to the election result. The average error is D+2.6 on election day. Rs sustained?

Lots of folks jumping to conclusions on the FT market share data for Fable. The reason is not at all obvious to me. Is it due to cost? Speed? Aggressive moves from OAI? ZDR? Open Source? Bad press / vibes? Refusal to work in some domains? Biased data?
