Robinhood App Faces Discrepancy Between INDEX Token Name and Market Data; Community Alleges Mislabeling as Index Cooperative

According to HTX market data, Bitcoin has fallen below $78,000, with its 24-hour price gain narrowing to 1.11%.

Whale "First Set 10 Big Goals" stated after today’s U.S. CPI data release triggered Bitcoin’s short-term "pin dip" to $76,046 that the leading cryptocurrency has not fallen below $74,000, and its bullish trend remains intact. The whale referenced an August 25 tweet in which he asked, "Which is more likely right now: a reversal or a major rally?" In that post, he noted the trend had reversed. "This round of momentum has been more intense than I initially imagined, so we can be bolder in our outlook. I believe it’s still not too late to enter at $80,000 or even above $80,000—there’s still room to grow. It’s very likely that $100,000 will be reached earlier than I originally expected."

Founder of BTC.TOP (B.TOP) mining pool Jiang Zhuoer posted that he booked a profit despite taking a wrong short position on Bitcoin (BTC). Using the price at 8:29:47 PM today and the current screenshot price as benchmarks, his three trades were: a full short BTC position executed between $77,226 and $78,730.74, resulting in a 1.95% loss; a full spot Ethereum (ETH) position traded between $2,467.61 and $2,609.31, generating a 5.74% gain; and a 5% spot BNC position traded between $4.81 and $5.305, yielding a 0.51% gain. The total profit from these operations was approximately 4.3%. Jiang Zhuoer also stated today that he has sold his entire BTC position at $77,226. Yesterday, he noted that following the release of the latest U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) data, the probability of a Federal Reserve interest rate hike rose to 70%. He added that he expects tomorrow’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) data will not be favorable, so he has prepared to take a short position.

According to GMGN market data, Artificial Inu (AI), a meme coin linked to crypto-stocks on the Robinhood chain, saw its market capitalization briefly approach $300 million, hitting a recent high. It is now trading at $265 million, with a 38.1% 24-hour gain and $30.2 million in trading volume. Artificial Inu is issued via Long.xyz, the issuance platform on the Robinhood chain, and is paired with Nvidia (NVDA) stock. Long.xyz has launched LongX Expansion, which supports packaging 3x leveraged NVDA positions on Lighter into ERC20 tokens, enabling minting/burning, DEX pool trading, and liquidity pairing. The platform has also explicitly stated that transaction fees will flow back to the AI token, making Artificial Inu effectively the de facto "platform token" of Long.xyz at this stage. BlockBeats Note: Stock Meme is an emerging concept that combines traditional meme coins with tokenized U.S. stocks. Unlike meme coins paired with USDT or ETH, these tokens are directly paired with on-chain U.S. stock tokens (such as NVDA, TSLA, AAPL), retaining meme coins' high volatility and community-driven speculative traits while anchoring the popularity and narrative of real stocks. A portion of transaction fees typically flows back to the community treasury to accumulate corresponding stock tokens, forming a dual-driven model of "sentiment speculation + real asset anchoring". BlockBeats reminds users that token prices are highly volatile, so investment requires caution.

According to CNBC, the hedge fund Situational Awareness, run by self-styled "AI stock guru" Leopold — who nearly faced liquidation this summer — appears to be staging a comeback, resuming its activity in the options market. A source familiar with the development said founder Leopold has been repurchasing options since last weekend through early this week, with underlying assets largely matching its prior "AI infrastructure/storage" investment thesis: SK Hynix, SanDisk, AMD, Bloom Energy, CoreWeave, plus the storage-themed Roundhill Memory (DRAM) ETF. The options position totals hundreds of millions of dollars. It remains unclear whether these new options purchases are backed by newly raised public market capital or leftover funds from the July sell-off. In July, the hedge fund Situational Awareness, managed by Leopold, a former OpenAI researcher nicknamed the "AI stock guru," suffered a severe setback. The fund, which once held over $45 billion in assets under management (AUM) at the start of the month, faced mounting margin pressure as AI-related stocks in storage, power and computing sectors plunged this summer. It was forced to offload nearly all its public market stock positions at a discount to Citadel Securities, cutting its total size to roughly $10 billion, while retaining private positions — particularly its stake in Anthropic.
