Over 95% of Fomo Traders on Robinhood Chain Suffer Losses or Minimal Gains
Since the launch of Robinhood Chain, 95.2% of the 375,740 users trading Meme coins on the FOMO platform have incurred losses or realized gains under $100. Only 229 users profited over $10,000 (0.06%), and 653 users profited over $5,000 (0.17%). This data highlights the highly concentrated nature of returns from these Meme coin trades, with most retail participants failing to achieve significant profits.
Jiang Zhuoer: Closed BTC Short Position, Restored Full Long Exposure to Ethereum Spot
Jiang Zhuoer of LiteBit Mining Pool posted that he previously opened a short position on BTC at $82,050 and has now closed it at $79,480 to take profits. He has restored his full long exposure to Ethereum spot assets awaiting further upside.
His trading rationale includes: market sentiment is currently favorable, with Ethereum rising to $2,536 in the morning session, nearing the previous high of $2,547; Ethereum acts as the engine of this bull run rather than a follower, meaning its early strength could signal Bitcoin following suit. Additionally, spot ETFs continued seeing inflows on September 3-4, recording a record $730 million on September 3. Given this trend, shorting remains the only viable strategy until ETFs switch to sustained outflows.
If Bitcoin subsequently rises to the $83,000-$84,000 range, he plans to consider shorting again, believing this key resistance level will be hard to break in the short term and likely requires a consolidation period of one to two months. He continues to wait for a major pullback corresponding to this rally, estimating a likely drop to $76,000, with a floor target between $71,255 and $73,361. He intends to repurchase his stablecoin backup positions within that range; if price does not reach there, he plans to fully buy back by the end of October.
Son of Former U.S. President Biden Plans to Launch Meme Coin LAPTOP
According to The Wall Street Journal, Hunter Biden, son of former U.S. President Joe Biden, will launch a meme coin named LAPTOP, referencing his laptop controversy. It is scheduled to debut on Coinbase’s Base network on September 9. The project’s founding team, including Hunter Biden, will hold 30% of the total token supply (1 billion tokens), which will be locked for six months and fully unlocked over two years. An additional 20% will be airdropped in two batches to users who previously lost money trading Trump’s meme coin (TRUMP), subscribers to Hunter Biden’s Substack and their friends, and users on an email list maintained by video journalist Andrew Callaghan. The remaining 20% will be allocated for charitable donations, liquidity provisioning, distribution to exchange partners and market makers, and to cover accounting, legal, administrative, and compliance costs for the token foundation.

Hyperliquid Sees Another “Whale Hunt,” Loracle’s PONS Short Position Publicly Snipered
On-chain analyst Sister Ai noted that another “whale hunt” around PONS on Hyperliquid has drawn renewed attention. Trader Loracle initiated a 3x leveraged short on PONS starting September 3. Currently holding approximately 25.04 million PONS (worth ~$19.41 million at an entry price of $0.6553), the position accounts for 19% of total open PONS contracts on Hyperliquid. The trade is currently facing unrealized losses nearing $3 million, and Loracle is still adding to the position.
Allegedly, overseas analyst MLM publicly stated yesterday that anyone interested in taking a heavy position to sniper this short should DM him if they have over seven figures in capital, later confirming that eight-figure funds have committed to participate. Loracle’s current liquidation price is approximately $1.83, meaning PONS would need to rise another ~128% to trigger liquidation without additional margin.
Arthur Hayes Publishes FLOP Whitepaper: AI Inference Compute to Be Settled as On-Chain Service, Tokens Allotted Entirely via Airdrop
Arthur Hayes released the whitepaper for his new project, FLOP, on social media.
FLOP is a Proof of Useful Inference (PoUI) blockchain and native currency designed for the agent economy. AI agents can use FLOP to pay inference fees to miners, directly converting currency into computation and intelligence. The network utilizes an architecture combining PoUI with an account-based chain model. Agents submit session requests to the mempool containing the model weight hash, maximum latency, compute requirements, confidentiality flags, and fees. Miners execute the inference and return proofs, while validators incorporate proof hashes into blocks to finalize settlement.
Regarding token supply, FLOP’s genesis supply is approximately 2.48346 billion tokens, distributed entirely via airdrop with no VC presales or auctions. The initial reward allocation is set at 75% for miners, 10% for validators, 10% for Agents, and 5% for regular stakers.
The network boasts an average block time of 1 second, with a roadmap target of sub-second block times. The initial block reward is 96 FLOP, halving every 730 days for a total of five halvings, after which it will permanently stabilize at 3 FLOP. The validator cap is set at 1,000, rotating approximately 50 members monthly based on verified work and online status. Both miners and validators must stake FLOP, with misbehavior subject to maximum slashing and potential bans. Governance operates through FLOP Improvement Proposals (FIPs), requiring approval from two-thirds of active validators in most cases.
[Garrett Jin Whale Entity] Adds to ZEC Shorts at Higher Levels, Unrealized Loss Hits $24 Million
Monitoring by on-chain analyst Ember (@EmberCN) shows that the [Garrett Jin Whale Entity] added 7,000 ZEC shorts (worth ~$8.4 million) against the trend when ZEC prices rallied to $1,195. This expanded their total short position to 39,760 ZEC (~$47 million), raising the average short entry from $444 to $576.3. The entity currently faces an aggregate unrealized loss of roughly $24 million. Originally opening a short of 32,760 ZEC at $444 in early July when ZEC was trading below $400, the price has since surged past $1,200—a gain of over 200% in three months—placing continuous pressure on the short positions.
Galaxy Research Head: Liquid White-Hat Hacker Claims Majority of 4,000 BTC Stolen Will Be Returned After Network Patch
Galaxy Research Head Alex Thorn (@intangiblecoins) revealed that a critical security vulnerability on the Liquid Network allowed a white-hat hacker to acquire approximately 4,000 BTC. The hacker communicated with Blockstream using on-chain Bitcoin OP_RETURN messages and PGP-encrypted text, signaling intent to return the “majority” of the funds after the vulnerability is patched by sending 1,000 satoshis to the federated wallet. The hacker explicitly demanded that Blockstream prioritize patching the vulnerability and ensuring all nodes update before initiating secure transfers. Technical details have already been sent to Blockstream via PGP encryption, readable only by them.

Podcast Notes | First Buy-the-Dip After Two Months Flat, $UNI Yields 30% Weekly Float: Why Did This Bull Rally Arrive Sooner Than Expected?
https://www.techflowpost.com/article/33796
- Macroeconomic Catalysts: The U.S. Treasury is expected to initiate a $12 billion long-term bond repurchase on September 9 while simultaneously reissuing short-term debt, effectively shortening debt duration, providing indirect liquidity, and weakening the dollar. The preceding catalyst was Trump mentioning a specific exchange’s name at the White House, triggering a wave of short covering.
- Core Asset: John made his first altcoin purchase in two months, selecting Uniswap (UNI). It has yielded ~30% floating profit in a week, becoming his third-largest holding. The thesis centers on Uniswap’s revised tokenomics, as meme coin and tokenized stock trading volumes on the Robinhood chain are hitting records and flowing through Uniswap V4, creating buy pressure for UNI token repurchases.
- New Narrative: The Robinhood chain bundles meme coins with tokenized stocks, shifting trading pairs from SOL, ETH, and USDT to Nvidia, Tesla, Alphabet, and Meta. This serves as a live case study for real-world asset tokenization adoption.
- Risk Factors: John explicitly noted this isn’t necessarily a bull market confirmation and could simply be a bull trap; he retains significant cash reserves. Historically, September is the worst month for BTC during midterm election years. Any Fed rate hikes or failure of the Clarity Act would also dampen sentiment.
- Trading Discipline: Avoid chasing FOMO. Set trailing buy orders to catch dips, establish a 5%-15% baseline position first before dollar-cost averaging. His mantra is “buy in fear; any price is a good deal.”
BofA Research Breakdown: Fal.Con Sets Tone, CrowdStrike Fully Pivots to the “New AI Battlefield”
https://www.techflowpost.com/article/33792

CrowdStrike views AI as the new security battlefield. Its runtime capabilities across endpoints and cloud workloads position it as a leader in security for the agent era. Falcon Flex remains the core commercial engine, with a total contract value nearing $2.3 billion, representing 101% YoY growth. The average ARR increase for upgrading Flex clients has risen to 40%. BofA has upgraded earnings forecasts, targeting a minimum FY28 Free Cash Flow margin of 32.5%.
Robinhood “Crypto-Stock Pairing” Enters Bounce Phase, Tracking U.S. Listed CEOs’ Social Media Becomes New Alpha
https://www.techflowpost.com/article/33785
Previously paired with U.S. telemedicine platform Hims & Hers Health (HIMS), the Viage-themed BONER token underwent an earlier correction but staged a sharp V-shaped rebound last night after Hims founder and CEO suddenly followed BONER’s official Twitter account.
Similarly, the MEME token, which previously sparked public feuds between the CEOs of both companies due to its pairing with AMC stock, received direct attention from the Robinhood founder on the MEME official account last night, instantly triggering another market surge. These two cases quickly forged a new consensus among on-chain traders:
Within this trading paradigm, “interactions from listed company executives” have replaced traditional on-chain fundamentals, becoming the most sensitive trigger for short-term token price movements. Just as the entire internet closely watched Musk’s dog or Toly’s dragon years ago, attention coordinates have now completely shifted from “zoo tokens” to “Nasdaq executives.”
