The Japanese yen climbed to a seven-month high against the U.S. dollar, strengthening 1.14% to 154.42 as markets increased bets on a Bank of Japan rate hike. Markets are pricing in about a 75% chance of a hike at the September 17-18 meeting. The stronger yen could pressure carry trades and increase volatility across global stocks and bonds. Japanese authorities are also watching currency moves closely after recent intervention efforts.

Swiss banks are testing a digital franc stablecoin called CHFD to explore automated transactions, tokenized assets and programmable payments. Launched in April and operating in a sandbox since late June, the project includes UBS, PostFinance and Sygnum. Participants are testing potential uses such as reducing fraud in online marketplaces, improving event ticketing and streamlining public payments. The project will continue through 2026 under transaction limits and controlled conditions. The experimental phase aims to gather insights into the technology, value and regulatory requirements without committing to a commercial rollout.

Indian crypto users are increasingly using stablecoins such as USDT to purchase everyday goods through overseas gift-card platforms. Users send crypto from private wallets to platforms in countries including Sweden, Germany and Singapore, which issue vouchers usable at local stores, fuel stations, delivery apps and jewelers. One platform has issued more than 16 million cards, according to The Economic Times. Indian regulators are examining the model for potential gaps involving cross-border payments, taxation and anti-money-laundering rules. Platforms have also shared details with India's Ministry of Finance.

XRP price has fallen nearly 8% over the past week, dropping from around $1.47 on September 3 to about $1.35. The decline comes as the broader crypto market also moves lower, while investors await next week's Senate vote on the Clarity Act.
Bitcoin price is holding the $76,500–$77,000 support zone, but the level is becoming increasingly fragile ahead of Friday's CPI report. Inflation is forecast at 3.4%, while higher average oil prices in August could increase the risk of a hotter reading. A stronger-than-expected CPI could add pressure on the Federal Reserve ahead of next Wednesday's FOMC decision. If BTC breaks below $76,500, the next downside zone could be $72,000–$74,000.

Binance's Bitcoin reserves have climbed above 693,000 BTC, a two-year high and about 30% of BTC held by major exchanges, according to Darkfost. Reserves have increased by 77,000 BTC since late April. The rise may reflect investors moving Bitcoin to exchanges to sell after recent rallies. Other factors include SAFU's plan to invest $1 billion to acquire around 15,000 BTC and transfers following the ColdCard incident. The growing exchange reserves could increase potential selling pressure on Bitcoin.
U.S. inflation came in slightly above expectations in August, with CPI rising 0.396% month over month, or 0.4%, versus expectations of about 0.39%. The bigger surprise came from core CPI, which rose 0.290% from the previous month, well above the 0.22% forecast and up from 0.215% in July. On a yearly basis, CPI rose 3.397%, while core CPI eased to 2.446% from 2.478%. The data could make it harder for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, especially with higher energy prices and geopolitical risks.
