The UK Bitcoin Treasury Company Stack BTC (STAK) proposed to acquire the precious metals dealer Direct Bullion for up to £12 million (approximately $16 million) and plans to use the operating cash flow generated from precious metal sales to support Bitcoin accumulation. This non-binding agreement includes £3 million in cash, approximately £4 million in shares, and £5 million in performance-linked cash payments, with a minimum share issuance price of 6 pence and a lock-up period of four years.As Stack director Paul Withers controls the seller Direct Bullion, this transaction constitutes a related party transaction and is classified as a reverse acquisition, which still requires due diligence and the signing of a final agreement. Direct Bullion achieved revenue of £52.1 million and a post-tax profit of £2.15 million for the fiscal year ending January 2026. This acquisition will be Stack's first transaction under the strategy of "acquiring profitable companies to fund Bitcoin purchases." Stack BTC currently holds approximately 68 Bitcoins (around $5.2 million), and its stock price fell by 1% on the day the news was announced.Nigel Farage invested £215,000 through his company Thorn In The Side, holding approximately 6.3% of Stack. Previously, Reform UK received donations of $48.5 million each from crypto billionaires Christopher Harborne and Ben Delo within 24 hours, totaling approximately $97 million, setting a record for political donations in the UK.
Former New York Fed President Dudley stated that the reasons for the Federal Reserve's current tightening of monetary policy are quite sufficient, and the interest rate hike in September may not be a "one-time action," but rather the beginning of a series of continuous rate increases. Dudley pointed out that the U.S. inflation rate remains persistently above the Fed's 2% target, the labor market remains relatively stable, and the core CPI rose 0.3% month-on-month in August, further dispelling market concerns about a cooling of inflation.In his view, the Federal Reserve is currently clearly deviating from its dual mandate goal regarding price stability, and there are still further upward risks for inflation in the short term. Dudley expects that the Federal Reserve may provide a median expectation of two cumulative rate hikes of 25 basis points each for 2026 in the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) to be released in September. He also noted that over the past few decades, the probability of the Fed raising rates again after a single hike has been as high as 85% to 90%, so the market should not view this round of actions as "a mere taste."Additionally, Dudley believes that if Waller decisively raises rates, it would also help demonstrate his determination to curb inflation and the Fed's policy independence. He warned that Waller should not "outsource" monetary policy to the financial markets, and the future path of interest rates should be determined by the Fed based on economic data and its own policy judgments, rather than catering to market expectations.

Odaily News: The Trump administration is lobbying Senate Republicans to advance the crypto market structure bill, the Clarity Act. Chris Phelan, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, said officials will launch an interactive tool on Tuesday that lets users set their own parameters and run scenarios to verify that there is no substantive relationship between stablecoin growth and deposit outflows from community banks.
Banking groups say the latest revisions to the bill's text are still not enough for them to accept the stablecoin provisions. The bill needs at least 60 votes to advance, and the Senate is scheduled to hold a procedural vote on Tuesday afternoon. Several Republicans, including Texas Senator John Cornyn, have hinted they may vote against it, while pro-crypto Democrats are unhappy with the strength of the latest text's restrictions on President Trump. Patrick Witt, executive director of the White House Council on Digital Assets, said the bill already includes measures to protect community banks.

Odaily News: Moonrock Capital founder Simon Dedic posted on X: "The Senate vote on the Clarity Act is expected in about 10 hours. Democrats have already verbally rejected the Republican-drafted bill under the pretext of so-called 'ethics concerns' (eThIcS cOncErnS); the predicted odds on Polymarket have collapsed, and the market has fully priced in a failure. But regardless of the outcome, I'm very much looking forward to this vote. It means we can finally turn the page and shift our energy to far more important matters. If the bill fails, we'll instead get equally strong pro-crypto regulatory policy from the SEC; and if even that doesn't happen, then the blame for watching the U.S. hand over its leadership in frontier finance and letting its most dynamic companies move offshore will rest entirely on the Democrats. Politics is tiresome, but America isn't stupid enough to let that happen. So what's meant to happen will happen, and we will ultimately win."

Odaily News: The US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York has filed a civil forfeiture lawsuit. The complaint alleges that the funds in question came from Iran's sanctions-evading sales of crude oil and petroleum products, and were used to support the Iranian government, military, and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The complaint alleges that Iran laundered over $1.5 billion in oil sales proceeds through cryptocurrency participants in Asian countries and elsewhere. Blessed Trust and Hexa Whale are accused of processing funds through related trading accounts and transferring them to the Iranian government, proxies, or related entities; both companies also provided crypto-fiat on-ramp and off-ramp services to clients and had used the US financial system to send and receive tens of millions of dollars.
US Associate Deputy Attorney General Sean S. Buckley said the funds at issue could have been used to support military operations and terrorist activities against the United States and its allies. The complaint also states that Tether will burn the crypto tokens in the addresses involved, issue equivalent replacement tokens, and transfer them to a wallet controlled by the US government.

Odaily News: DeFi analyst Jordi in Cryptoland posted on X that historical data shows Uniswap's fee switch activation did not weaken its competitiveness—its market share not only held steady but even increased. Before the fee switch was turned on, Uniswap accounted for 21% of total DEX trading volume; immediately after activation, its share remained essentially flat; now, with the integration of the Robinhood channel, its share has risen to 31%.
Today, Uniswap's value capture capability is also stronger. Protocol monthly revenue started from zero and has now stabilized at around $7.2 million. Compared with its multi-billion-dollar overall valuation, this figure is not astonishing (the P/E ratio remains above 40x), but with market share increasing by 10 percentage points while monthly revenue jumped from zero to $7.2 million, this is absolutely a massive milestone.
