@MetaMask If the wallet is compromised, trace assets by following transactions made after the point of compromise, produce a report, and send it to the authorities. Hopefully, freeze them as soon as they touch an exchange or DeFi protocol that can freeze assets for return. 👀

🚨 THE NEXT 10 DAYS COULD BE ABSOLUTE CHAOS FOR THE MARKETS.

Five major events are coming back to back, and each one has the potential to move the markets.

September 10: PPI

The first major inflation test as it measures price changes from the producer side, so another hot reading will signal inflationary pressure.

That could immediately push the Fed to be more hawkish.

September 11: CPI

This is the big one, as the CPI will show whether consumer inflation is cooling or heating up again.

July CPI was 3.4%, so a hot print will almost confirm the Fed rate hike.

September 15: CLARITY ACT VOTING

This could be one of the most important days for crypto this year, as the Senate will hold a procedural vote on advancing the CLARITY Act.

September 16: FED RATE DECISION

This is where things could get wild.

The Fed will decide its next move on interest rates after seeing both PPI and CPI.

The decision, Warsh's press conference, and the Fed's new economic projections will pave the way for how markets will move next.

September 18: BANK OF JAPAN RATE DECISION

The BOJ interest rate decision will happen on September 18.

If BOJ turns more hawkish, USD/JPY could crash and cause turmoil in the markets.

PPI → CPI → CLARITY → FED → BOJ.

Five major catalysts in just 10 days, and this will cause a volatility explosion.

KYC is now part of the XRP Ledger itself
The protocol checks your credential before your order matches, and if you don't hold one the transaction fails
Three amendments did it and a lot of people missed it
All live on mainnet, all verifiable on the ripple:native ledger

⚡️NEW: Ripple is quantum-proofing the XRP Ledger before "Q-Day" arrives.

Ripple is preparing ripple:native for the moment quantum computers can break the cryptography protecting wallets, which researchers call Q-Day, per CoinDesk.

The company laid out a four-stage migration plan, including an emergency route if quantum computing advances faster than expected.

🇺🇸JUST IN: The CFTC holds its first ever Innovation Advisory Committee meeting with 43 members including the CEOs of Coinbase, Kraken, Ripple, Gemini, Robinhood, Nasdaq, NYSE and CME.

Key takeaways:

- CFTC Chair Selig says the CFTC will implement its own crypto rules if the CLARITY Act fails to pass.

- Selig directs staff to "begin exploring rules to codify a CFTC market structure for crypto assets."

- Crypto exchanges could be allowed to offer leveraged trading under CFTC oversight.

- Selig directs staff to engage with DeFi developers to establish legal pathways for on-chain protocols in the US.

- CFTC preparing to modernize prediction market rules, with Kalshi and Polymarket CEOs both seated on the committee.

- Coinbase CEO Armstrong says the CLARITY Act "has a great chance of passing" with both sides getting "90% of what they want."

- Robinhood CEO Tenev says the 50 state patchwork of crypto rules hurts customers more than the companies themselves.

- DTCC CEO says SEC-CFTC coordination has given traditional finance "an open lane" to advance blockchain and tokenization.

- Selig warns states trying to block prediction markets, saying the CFTC has protected them from "rogue state attorneys general."

- Selig calls for America to become the "compute capital of the world."
