AMC's chief executive wants Robinhood to stop trading tokens that track AMC shares. Robinhood says no.

The whole exchange has played out on X.

The tokens give price exposure without any ownership of the company — no vote, no rights, and no involvement from AMC. They are issued by a Jersey entity and cover more than 190 companies. Adam Aron argues the structure sidesteps US securities law, which AMC spends millions a year complying with.

AMC stock rose as much as 21 percent on the news.

Both sides agree the tokens are not shares. What they disagree about is what they are instead.

IMF og El Salvador er enige om et lån på 140 millioner dollar. Prisen betales i bitcoinpolitikk.

Fondet bekrefter at ingen offentlige midler er brukt på bitcoin siden i fjor sommer, og at all oppbygging av reserven siden forrige gjennomgang stammer fra private donasjoner. Chivo-lommeboken, som ble lansert sammen med bitcoinloven i 2021, er overført til en privat aktør.

Beløpet er ikke utbetalt. IMF-styret må godkjenne avtalen først.

Skatteverket kräver 48,1 miljoner kronor av Valuno Group. Frågan är i vilket land vinsten hör hemma.

Verket menar att det är moderbolaget i Sverige, och inte dotterbolaget QuickBit Ltd i Gibraltar, som har utfört de värdeskapande funktionerna i koncernens affiliate-lösning. Valuno håller inte med, och avser att överklaga.

"Ärendet är komplext och avser förhållanden långt tillbaka i tiden", säger vd Peter Liljeroos.

Förfallodagen är den 12 oktober.

Building is not only code. It is the ones bringing a problem to the table, the ones putting an organisation behind it, the ones assembling a team, and the ones who keep going after the demo.

This is the first edition of Onchain Build, sister publication to Onchain Growth. Growth follows the industry as it operates and scales — companies, capital, regulation, the people moving. Build is earlier: startups, new projects, and what gets made when the problem comes first. Including the part that rarely fits a story about payments and investment — building for impact.

Subscribe to both, or to just one of them.

It starts with FIRSTBLOCK-ATHON, because that is where the field is gathering this week. Around 25 people have put it together — among them Fati Hakim, who initiated and organises it, Hani Baloch, who was in on the idea from the beginning and has been on the team since, and Hani Raisi Halilovic, who runs the AI x Blockchain Summit that closes the week.

The edition has eight challenge areas, the six problem statements presented live, the AWS prize, the partners, and all three pre-event recordings in full.

One Fed governor said he could hold rates steady. Within hours, almost everything in crypto had repriced.

Total market value is back to $2.73 trillion, and nearly nothing was left out — the coins, the stocks, the ETFs, the dollar. Today's Kaupr Daily is about what turned, what it moved, and what it does not prove.

♦ One governor's remarks cut September hike odds from 59 to 42 percent

♦ Coinbase, Circle, Strategy and Robinhood all up double digits

♦ Only bitcoin ETFs took money in — ether, XRP and Solana went the other way

♦ Glassnode and IG question how much of August was short covering

♦ Coinbase and Polymarket both push perpetuals onshore

♦ Nvidia buys Hugging Face for $12.9 billion

The last Blockathon Stockholm pre-event is also up to watch in full — a weekend before the build starts.

Three pre-events, four and a half hours, and one week to go. The last session is now up to watch in full.

Seven guests, including FirstBlock, Blockchain Sweden, AI Institutet, AWS, Netlight, KTH Innovation and Sullis. AWS is putting up USD 10,000 in credits for one winning team.

Strategy, Strive and Bitmine all bought bitcoin in the same week. Several Nordic treasury companies have spent the past year adding something on top.

Close to fifteen of them announced a bitcoin treasury strategy last year. Most have left quietly since. H100, K33, Bitcoin Treasury Capital (BTC AB) and Ace Digital AS each attached something else to the balance sheet along the way.

Episode 9 of Kaupr Weekly is about what they attached, and why.

A September rate hike is suddenly the base case, and bitcoin gave back its early-week gains. The more consequential moves came from the SEC, which spent the week rewriting rules written before the internet.

Some of the stories in today's Kaupr Daily:

♦ Traders now price a 66 percent chance of a rate hike this month

♦ Bitcoin's correlation with gold hits a record as its Nasdaq correlation falls away

♦ The SEC brings NYSE, Nasdaq and DTCC to the table on 24-hour trading

♦ NYSE's owner picks tZERO to build the settlement layer for tokenised stocks

♦ Twenty-one banks build a stablecoin — JPMorgan builds something else

Thursday at 11:00 CET we run the third and last pre-event before FIRSTBLOCK-ATHON in Stockholm. Free, and registering gets you the recording afterwards.
