XStable has secured investment from @yzilabs through @EASYResidency Season 4.
Throughout the five weeks of residency in Bhutan, we had the opportunity to build, exchange ideas and learn alongside an exceptional community, with @cz_binance actively engaging with founders throughout the journey.
To celebrate this milestone, weβre launching XStable CP Warm-Up #01. π₯
Complete the tasks below and start earning CP. π
Inflation Stays Sticky as Fed Hike Bets Surge
August CPI showed that inflation pressure remains difficult to shake. Headline CPI rose 0.4% MoM and 3.4% YoY, while core CPI increased 0.3% MoM, above the 0.2% market expectation, even as the annual core rate eased slightly to 2.4%.
Energy was a major contributor, with gasoline prices rising 3.9% in August, but the pressure was not limited to fuel. Firm readings across several service categories added to concerns that underlying inflation may remain sticky. Coming just one day after a stronger PPI report, the data further strengthened the case for tighter monetary policy.
Markets reacted quickly. Expectations for a September Fed rate hike jumped to around 90%, up from roughly 70% before the CPI release, while short-term Treasury yields moved higher as traders repriced the rate outlook.
Gold saw sharp two-way volatility, initially falling toward $4,290 before rebounding toward $4,400. The recovery highlights an important point: with a September hike now heavily priced in, the next move may depend less on whether the Fed raises rates and more on what it signals about the path ahead.
All eyes now turn to the September 16 FOMC meeting. A 25bp hike alone may no longer be the biggest surprise. The key question is whether the Fed signals that further tightening could follow.

Weβre proud to announce our partnership with @SuiNetwork to bring precious metals and FX markets to Sui, marking an important milestone as we continue building AI-native infrastructure for on-chain Gold & FX trading.
Sui is building high-performance, programmable infrastructure for the future of finance, with a growing ecosystem spanning DeFi, institutional markets, real-world assets, and on-chain settlement. Through this partnership, XStable will bring precious metals and FX markets to Sui, while exploring deeper integration with Suiβs liquidity ecosystem as our markets continue to expand.
For XStable, the opportunity goes far beyond simply bringing traditional market exposure on-chain. Gold and FX are among the worldβs largest and most liquid financial markets, yet much of their trading infrastructure remains centralized and fragmented. XStable is rebuilding that experience on-chain with AI-native infrastructure designed for greater transparency, accessibility, and efficiency.
As stablecoins increasingly become the settlement rails of on-chain finance and real-world markets move on-chain, we believe Gold & FX will be a major bridge between traditional traders and the next generation of decentralized financial infrastructure.
Together with Sui, weβre taking another major step toward that future. π

#PPI Lifts Fed Hike Bets as Yields Rise and Gold Slides π
US inflation data put rates back at the center of the market on Thursday. August PPI rose 5.4% YoY, slightly above the 5.3% forecast, while core PPI increased 0.2% MoM, below expectations of 0.3%. The mixed report still kept inflation concerns alive, particularly as higher energy costs continue to complicate the outlook.
Markets responded by repricing the Fed path. The probability of a rate hike at next weekβs meeting climbed to around 70%, up from roughly 60β65% before the release. Treasury yields moved higher across the curve, with the 2-year yield rising to around 4.49% and the 10-year approaching 4.90%, while the 30-year yield climbed above 5.33%, its highest level since 2007.
That repricing quickly spilled into precious metals and FX. A stronger US dollar and rising Treasury yields created a double headwind for precious metals, with gold falling further below $4,340, down around 1.4% on the day. Silver came under even heavier pressure, dropping around 4%.
For FX, the same shift remains supportive for the dollar. As markets price a more hawkish Fed path, higher US yields and widening rate expectations relative to other major economies could continue to favor USD.
The focus now turns to #CPI. The key question is whether the inflation pressure showing up in producer prices and energy costs remains concentrated there, or begins feeding more broadly into consumer prices. A hotter CPI could further strengthen the case for a September hike, keep Treasury yields and the dollar elevated, and extend the near-term pressure on gold and silver.

YZi Labs-backer XStable is bringing precious metals to Sui Network
@XStableAI has partnered with @SuiNetwork to bring precious metals, including gold, silver, and platinum, and foreign exchange markets onto the Sui ledger.
By leveraging SuiοΏ½οΏ½s high-performance architecture, the platform aims to provide autonomous AI agents with the 24/7 liquidity and instant settlement capabilities necessary to execute sophisticated trades outside of traditional banking hours.
This integration addresses the fragmentation inherent in centralized legacy markets by replacing opaque, multi-day settlement cycles with on-chain, programmable rails.
An agent that can trade gold and FX at 3am is only useful if something is open at 3am.
@XStableAI is bringing gold,silver,platinum and FX markets onchain to Sui, where settlement is instant.
