The document will now be reviewed by the OMB, after which the SEC will vote on its publication for public comment.

Bitcoin Targets $81,000 as Nvidia Fuels Risk-On Mood
Bitcoin rebounded to $81,000 after Nvidia's outstanding Q2 earnings report, with revenue hitting $96.2 billion. NVDA stock surged over 9%, boosting both the Nasdaq and crypto markets. All eyes are now on Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's speech at Jackson Hole, which is expected to reduce market uncertainty regarding the rate path.

Ethereum up 40% in August — forecasts diverge
Ethereum ends August stronger than Bitcoin: the ETH coin gained about 40% over the month and approached the monthly imbalance around $2600 — the area where the price previously moved sharply and left a gap that usually gets filled. Analysts diverge on further movement — some expect continued growth to $2800, others see a correction to $2250–1930. The ETH price is holding near $2463, with the nearest resistance at $2470.

Finam: growth supported by Fed policy easing
Analyst Nikolay Dudchenko linked the recent ETH rise to changes in the quantitative easing program and the dollar's decline. He called the $2470 level a local obstacle for bulls. If buyers break this level, the next target could be $2800. In the long term, the trend remains upward.

Qwerty Analytics: correction likely after short-stop sweep
Investor Sergey Gurdyumov noted that in August ETH performed even stronger than BTC, gaining almost 40%. During this move, the price swept short-stop orders and reached the monthly imbalance, from where he expects a decline. He does not rule out continued growth within the same imbalance — from $2450 to $2780. He sees a correction to $2250–1930 — this zone will act as support. The expert advises accumulating spot positions on dips.

Technical view: indicators overheated
On the daily chart, Stochastic holds in the overbought zone (85.31 / 88.49), and RSI has risen to 69–73 — near the upper boundary. Holding above $2470 would confirm buyer strength and open the path to higher levels. The key range remains $2400–2700.

Bitcoin targets for September: from $70 000 to $100 000
Surveyed experts agree that the August surge has brought BTC into a historically strong period. Forecasts range from a correction to $70 000 to an attempt to hold near $100 000. Analysts link possible moves to Fed policy, US midterm elections, seasonality, and long-term holder behavior.
Oleg Reshetnikov (BCS) cited elections, bond purchases, and institutional return as drivers. Base case — $88 000, bearish — $70 000–72 000, bullish — $100 000. Nikolay Dudchenko (Finam) sees further growth only if BTC breaks and holds above $80 000, then the target is $85 000–95 000. Sergey Gurdyumov (Qwerty Analytics) expects a correction to $72 500–67 000 with a gradual decline over the month.

Wyoming Moves FRNT Stablecoin to Chainlink CCIP and Implements Proof of Reserve
The state of Wyoming continues to modernize its FRNT stablecoin. The Stable Token Commission has implemented Chainlink Proof of Reserve to publish on-chain data about reserves and token supply in near real-time. This allows for tracking FRNT collateralization between reporting periods, making the system even more transparent than federal GENIUS Act standards require.
In addition, Wyoming has fully migrated FRNT from LayerZero to Chainlink's CCIP, making it the sole cross-chain infrastructure for the token. Launched in January, FRNT is backed by USD and Treasury bills, with interest income directed to the state's school fund.

Chainlink Strengthens Its Position in TradFi and DeFi
While Wyoming integrates Chainlink solutions, the oracle network itself continues its expansion into traditional finance. LINK became a price feed provider for Coinbase's B20 tokenized stocks (Apple, Nvidia, Meta, and Alphabet) and is participating in Project Pangea with European and South Korean banks. Furthermore, Chainlink technology is used in DTCC infrastructure and Fidelity International's fund, confirming LINK's role as a key bridge between crypto and institutional finance.
