The town of Plattsburgh in New York state held a public hearing on a proposed temporary land use moratorium covering operations such as AI data centers and crypto mining. In a Thursday hearing, Plattsburgh Mayor Wendell Hughes and the common council heard from members of the public about a law that would impose a short-term ban on land use tied to certain high energy computing facilities, including cryptocurrency mining and artificial intelligence. If approved, the moratorium would halt approvals for operations requiring 300 or more kilowatts (kW) for 12 months. As of Tuesday, reports indicated that the mayor had not approved the moratorium, and the council is scheduled to hold another meeting on Sept. 17. According to Cointelegraph, Plattsburgh was one of the first jurisdictions in the United States to outright ban Bitcoin (BTC) mining in response to residents’ concerns about electricity costs, with that moratorium passed in 2018 and lasting 18 months. The report also noted that many crypto mining companies have shifted toward AI and high-performance computing amid difficulty, rising power costs and falling token prices.

According to CNBC, hedge-fund manager Brian Kelly said his trading firm Bracket22, which is powered entirely by agentic artificial intelligence, reduced annual labor-related costs from roughly $5 million before AI to about $30,000 to $40,000 now.

He also said he is at least 10 times more productive with the agents and believes AI can make existing employees far more productive rather than simply replace them.

ARK Investment Management has filed an exemption request with the U.S. SEC to issue a tokenized share class for its ARK Venture Fund. According to ChainCatcher, the SEC published notice of the filing on August 24 and set September 18 as the deadline for hearing requests. The fund is a continuously offered closed-end interval fund and had total assets of $562 million as of January 31. The application proposes two classes: an exchange-listed class and a tokenized class recorded on distributed ledger technology, with ownership transferable peer-to-peer between registered alternative trading systems or whitelisted wallets. The tokenized shares would be issued at net asset value, without sales charges, and distributed by registered broker-dealers or the fund’s transfer agent. ARK is seeking relief under Sections 6(c), 18, and 17(d) of the Investment Company Act, as well as Rules 23c-3 and 17d-1, with Dechert serving as legal counsel. The filing does not name a tokenization service provider or blockchain. It lists fee categories for a tokenization agent and fund transfer agent, while BNY Mellon currently serves as the fund’s transfer agent, administrator, and custodian. ARK Venture Fund also holds equity in Securitize and a $10 million convertible note. SEC rules for the industry-anticipated tokenization "innovation exemption" framework are still being developed.

According to Sina Finance, Wall Street interest-rate strategists expect the U.S. Treasury to raise the size of its long-dated bond buybacks to as much as $10 billion per operation after announcing in August that it planned to at least double the program. According to Sina Finance, SoftBank Group will meet investors in New York next week to gauge interest in a potential dollar junk-bond sale. The company is continuing to borrow heavily to finance its large bets on artificial intelligence, and Chief Financial Officer Yoshimitsu Goto and other executives are scheduled to meet investors at Citigroup offices from September 14 to 17. According to Sina Finance, Apple will hold its annual iPhone product event on Wednesday, where CEO John Ternus will make his first appearance as chief executive after replacing Tim Cook on September 1. Market expectations are that Apple will unveil its first foldable iPhone, along with updates to the iPhone 18 Pro lineup and Apple Watch products. According to Sina Finance, the foldable iPhone is expected to resemble Samsung's mainstream foldable devices, but it may cost more than $2,000. Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 starts at $1,899, while the higher-end Z Fold 8 Ultra starts at $2,099.

FlightAware data showed more than 80 cancellations and about 200 delays at Heathrow alone.

The S&P 500 fell for a second straight session as rising oil prices fueled by Middle East tensions added to inflation concerns.

Chris Larkin of Morgan Stanley's E*Trade said investors may find it difficult to shift attention away from inflation as geopolitical tensions push oil prices higher.
