August 18th, as per official information, Bowmore, a renowned Scottish distillery, announced today a partnership with the decentralized open-source Layer1 platform Avalanche to launch the very first on-chain whisky NFT series. This series is scheduled to be officially released on September 30, 2025, during the TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore, and pre-sales will commence from today. By leveraging the Avalanche C chain, each uniquely numbered bottle of whisky will give rise to a corresponding NFT, facilitating the seamless amalgamation of physical rare whisky with digital certificates. The inaugural series encompasses: · Collector's Edition ($5,500): Limited to 8 sets, comprising a 30-year-old Bowmore whisky and custom glassware. Buyers will receive an invitation to meet Ava Labs founder Emin Gün Sirer. · Classic Edition ($180): Limited to 150 bottles of 12-year-old Bowmore, offering an entry-level choice for collectors. Each bottle is equipped with an NFC chip to authenticate its authenticity and link it to an on-chain NFT. Buyers can claim their NFT through the Suntory website (which supports both crypto wallets and traditional email login) and redeem the physical bottle at the TOKEN2049 event. On September 30, 2025, Bowmore and Avalanche will host a dinner at the Wakuda restaurant in Singapore, and 8 holders of the 30-year-old NFT will be invited.

Trend-following funds have taken a record short position in global bonds, with the US CPI report expected to be the key determinant of their profit and loss.

According to Bloomberg, data from UBS Group shows that Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs), which seek to profit from price movements across various asset classes, tripled their underweight positions in bonds in July from two weeks prior. Since then, these bets have remained stable. If the upcoming U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) push Treasury prices higher, the CTAs face the risk of losses. Strategist Nicolas Le Roux noted that a 1-basis-point move in the 10-year Treasury yield ahead of inflation data translates to roughly $300 million in profit or loss for CTAs, with this exposure being the largest UBS has recorded since it began compiling relevant data in 1990.
