Odaily News: Blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis stated that the scale of potentially taxable on-chain crypto activity globally in 2025 reached at least $457 billion, with approximately $112.6 billion in the United States, $134.6 billion in North America, and $125.1 billion in the European Union.

CARF was established by the OECD in 2022 and requires eligible crypto service providers to report customer transaction data to tax authorities. CARF data collection began on January 1, 2026, in 48 jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom and EU member states, where relevant platforms are required to collect customer and tax residency information and report transaction data.

According to Odaily News: Meme Flash monitoring, the Robinhood ecosystem Meme project NPCCAT has recently attracted attention in the community. On-chain data platform GMGN shows that the token's current market cap is approximately $1.56 million.

Community discussions focus on its association with the early NPC ecosystem. User @zeroedthegame posted on Aug. 26, stating that NPCCAT was launched by the "original NPC developer," and that this developer holds a large number of tokens and has not yet sold the related supply. Some community members believe that the project may be connected to the original NPC culture and developer ecosystem.

According to community information, NPCCAT is described as a combination of "NPC meme culture" and "cat-themed internet culture," and is associated with the Non-Playable Coin (NPC) ecosystem. Currently, NPCCAT's market attention mainly stems from community narratives, developer background, and interest in the Robinhood-related Meme ecosystem. However, Meme token prices are highly volatile, and community-related information still requires further on-chain verification.

Odaily News: The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas (Dallas Fed) reported that tokenized deposits could allow customers to move funds more quickly in search of higher yields, weakening bank funding stability. The bank estimates that a 10% increase in deposit rate sensitivity could reduce banks' capacity to bear interest rate risk by approximately $700 billion.

The report notes that tokenized deposits differ from stablecoins such as USDT and USDC, as they are regulated deposits that can earn interest, but instant settlement, smart contracts, and AI could reduce deposit stickiness. If demand deposits can be transferred more easily between institutions, banks' willingness to hold long-term fixed-rate assets may decline.

The bank also stated that if the weighted average maturity of deposits shortens by 10%, the banking system's maturity transformation capacity could decrease by $580 billion. Institutions such as Custodia, Vantage, Barclays, BMO, and Swift have already tested or advanced projects related to tokenized deposits and 24/7 settlement. (Decrypt)

Odaily News: A survey by the National Institute on Retirement Security (NIRS) shows that 77% of Americans consider cryptocurrencies in workplace retirement plans to be risky, with 46% viewing them as highly risky; 53% oppose employers offering crypto investment options.

The survey found that 80% of respondents believe the U.S. is facing a retirement crisis, up from 67% in 2020; 61% worry about achieving financial security after retirement.

In March 2026, the Department of Labor proposed a rule to include alternative assets, and Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Bobby Scott called for the proposal's withdrawal in June.

Following the release of the PCE data, major U.S. stock indices opened higher, gold prices fell to $4,626 per ounce, and silver fell to $68.31. Bitcoin traded within a range of $77,250 to $79,539 over 24 hours, and was trading at $77,600 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday. (Bitcoin.com News)

Odaily News: Nvidia will report its fiscal 2026 second-quarter earnings after the U.S. market close. According to analyst expectations compiled by LSEG, the company's quarterly earnings per share are expected to be $2.10, with revenue projected at $92.17 billion.

The market expects Nvidia's revenue to grow nearly double from $46.7 billion in the same period last year, continuing the rapid growth driven by the wave of AI infrastructure investment. As a core supplier of AI computing power, Nvidia's GPUs are widely used to train and run advanced AI models, and the company is also participating in the construction of new AI data centers through financing support and other means.

However, after nearly three years of significant gains, investors have become more cautious in their expectations for Nvidia. As of Tuesday's close, Nvidia has risen about 14% this year, slightly outperforming the Nasdaq index. Market focus includes pressure from competitors such as AMD and Google, as well as rising costs due to a global shortage of memory chips.

Currently, Nvidia is in a new product cycle, with its latest Vera Rubin AI system already being delivered to customers such as Microsoft and OpenAI. Investors will focus on the sales progress and supply situation of the Rubin and Blackwell series chips, as well as the company's future outlook for AI computing demand.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang previously stated that he expects the current product cycle based on Blackwell and Vera Rubin architectures to bring cumulative sales of $1 trillion by 2027. The company will hold its earnings conference call at 5 p.m. Eastern Time. (CNBC)
