Bitget launches Phase 2 US stock bottom-fishing interest-earning product FCN (Fixed Coupon Note). This phase features an 80% discount, with underlying assets and reference APR ranges as follows: MicroStrategy (MSTR) 19%–25%, SK Hynix (SKHY) 14%–17%, and SpaceX (SPCX) 13%–16%. Additionally, Bitget’s limited-time cashback promotion is ongoing: users who reach specified cumulative subscription tiers will receive corresponding cashback rewards, with a maximum of 10,000 USDT per user. The promotion runs until September 18; more details are available on Bitget’s official platform. It is understood that Bitget FCN (Fixed Coupon Note) is a structured financial product linked to a single US stock rToken. Users can subscribe with USDT and select their target US stock underlying asset. The product’s entry execution price is determined by multiplying the US stock’s closing price on the product’s subscription end date by the discount rate. At maturity, if the observation price is at or above the execution price, users will receive their USDT principal plus fixed interest. If the observation price is below the execution price, the principal will be converted to the corresponding rToken at the execution price, while users still retain the fixed interest.

BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes is once again bullish on ENA: Over-the-counter brokers have started reaching out to us to inquire about borrowing U.S. dollars. Interest rates are still too low, but this is a good sign that basis trading is making a comeback, and ENA will benefit significantly with massive upside potential. Earlier reports noted that Hayes accumulated 22.64 million ENA tokens at the start of the month, totaling approximately $2 million. He also stated earlier this month that if increased U.S. dollar liquidity drives Bitcoin higher, a rebound in Bitcoin basis returns could draw funds back into USDe, adding that ENA has the potential to rally fivefold in the coming months. According to HTX market data, ENA is down 7.1% in the past 24 hours, trading at $0.15.
