OpenOpened Sept 7 as a follow-up on the Aug intervention reserve item (Japan reserves fell a record $79.6B to $1.208T, an $87.8B drop in foreign securities). That item logged PARTIALLY VERIFIED because the reserve and securities figures are MOF-disclosed, but the framing that Japan sold US Treasuries specifically to fund the intervention rests on a market estimate of Treasury share within the securities book, not a disclosed line item. MOF's monthly reserve template never breaks securities down by issuer or currency, so Japan's own reporting cannot close this gap.

Official support for the long end of the Treasury curve
OpenTreasury is at least doubling liquidity support buyback operations in the 10-20 year and 20-30 year sectors, from a $2 billion maximum to at least $4 billion per operation, effective Sept 9 through the Nov 4 refunding. The announcement arrived within a day of the US 30-year printing 5.32-5.33%, a 19-year high, and yields eased after it. Threshold: whether per-operation sizes rise again at the Nov 4 refunding, or whether any facility beyond routine buybacks is invoked. Watching also whether the 30-year holds below the 5.50% red trigger without needing further support. Treasury frames this as liquidity plumbing rather than QE; the desk is tracking whether recurring official support becomes necessary to keep long-end pricing orderly.

ResolvedOpened Sept 14 after frontier AI lab chiefs publicly backed slowing capability development and AI-linked equities sold off worldwide (SoftBank down as much as 13.2%, SK Hynix 6.4%, ASML about 6%, Kospi 3.3% to 3.6%). The BIS quarterly review published the same morning said AI-led equity momentum has wobbled amid signs of tech-sector vulnerability and rising leverage at major US tech firms. This is an event marker with a tracked level attached: the desk watches whether the move broadens from sector-specific to general risk-off, using VIX (15.84 at Friday's close) and whether crypto begins tracking the tech tape. Global Risk Appetite has no pre-registered criteria, so nothing here moves that gauge yet; if the transmission becomes observable, a criterion should be written under Operating Rule 17.

Tokyo orderly-markets language now points at yen strength, not weakness
ResolvedOpened Sept 8. Finance Minister Katayama said Japan's stance on currencies has not shifted since the joint intervention with the US Treasury, that authorities will work to maintain orderly markets, and that she will stay in close contact with Secretary Bessent. She said this after USD/JPY fell to 152.89, the yen's strongest since February, and she declined to characterise the move.
Full record
Opened Sep 8, 2026 · resolved Sep 26, 2026
Resolved Sept 26, 2026: the framing reversed. On Sept 25 Katayama said Takaichi told Trump an undervalued yen is problematic, and Bessent said the two discussed the desirability of a strong yen. Official language now points at yen weakness again, with USD/JPY at 157.28 after a 159.05 high. The 160 close trigger and the three-yen session test on the Yen Carry tile carry the thread from here.
Iran's seven conditions for reopening Hormuz
ResolvedOpened Sept 14 on Tasnim reporting, citing a source close to Iran's negotiating team, that Iran has seven conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz and has conveyed them to Washington, and that reopening depends entirely on US behaviour. The same source said the Iran-Oman route understanding in no way means the strait will be opened. No text of the conditions has been published and no US response has been located. This is an event marker, not a market variable: there is no threshold to track. Watching: publication of the conditions in any form, any US or Gulf response addressing them, and whether the US-backed southern corridor is in fact closed.

ResolvedOpened Aug 28 on the Aug 27 joint final rule defining "unsafe or unsound practice" and setting uniform MRA standards (ABA Banking Journal and multiple outlets). Effective 60 days after Federal Register publication; the Federal Reserve did not join. Watching: Federal Register publication date (starts the clock), whether the Fed adopts a parallel definition, and any observable change in bank-crypto relationships or charter processing at OCC and FDIC institutions. The industry framing that this unwinds "Operation Choke Point 2.0" is analysis, not rule text; the desk tracks effects, not slogans.

Each VLCC loaded about 2 million barrels of Saudi crude at Juaymah (Kpler). Watching: whether the vessels are underway, lightering, or disabled; any spill report; war-risk premium quotes for Gulf loadings; whether Aramco pauses in-strait loadings resumed in August.

ResolvedOpened Sept 3 on BIS Working Paper 1374 (published Sept 2), a proof of concept anchoring hashed SDMX statistical datasets on the XRP Ledger, run on DevNet with open-source code under BIS Open Tech. Watching: any statistical authority or central bank piloting the method; references by the SDMX secretariat or the Irving Fisher Committee; any mainnet anchoring; whether the BIS Innovation Hub picks it up.

BOJ September hike pricing and carry-trade positioning
ResolvedOpened Aug 24: markets price roughly 82 percent odds of a September BOJ hike to 1.25 percent from 1 percent, up from about 23 percent before the July meeting, with USD/JPY near 159. A near-consensus hike shifts the carry risk from surprise to positioning: watching JGB yields, USD/JPY behavior into and through the meeting, and any cross-asset deleveraging evidence. Resolution markers: the meeting passes with an orderly yen (resolve or de-escalate), or a disorderly yen move with deleveraging evidence (feeds the carry gauge's unwind criterion).
Full record
Opened Aug 24, 2026 · resolved Sep 18, 2026
Resolved Sept 18: the BOJ raised its policy rate 25bp to 1.25% on a 7 to 2 vote. The yen weakened to a two-week low of 157.84 rather than strengthening, so the disorderly move with deleveraging this item tracked did not print. The live carry question is now the 160 line, tracked on the Yen Carry gauge and in Key Levels.
US Treasury's claimed insight into BOJ policy meets its test Sept 18
ResolvedOpened Sept 9. At an SMU event in Dallas on Sept 8, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that when Washington intervenes in the yen he has pretty good insight into what the Bank of Japan and Japanese policymakers will do, invited traders to bet against him, and described having asymmetric information as his dream. Verified as a spoken statement by Bloomberg and the Japan Times; not evidence of a new intervention.

Resolved Sept 18: the BOJ delivered exactly 25bp, as reporting had indicated. No Japanese official response to Bessent's characterisation surfaced in the desk's searches, and no new intervention has been disclosed. The remark was never converted into an observable operation; any future intervention would surface in Ministry of Finance data and on the carry gauge.

Up from the August edition's roughly $87 full year figure, and still about $15 below Thursday's tape. Source: EIA press release.
RLUSD chain split and the unexplained total supply gap
ResolvedOpened Sept 7. A specialist tracker reads RLUSD on the XRP Ledger back above Ethereum at $810M (51.7%) versus $756M (48.3%). The desk logged this unverified because it is a single Tier 3 source and because the implied total supply near $1.57B is well below the $1.939B recorded Aug 21, a roughly $370M gap that would require substantial net burning and has not been explained.
Full record
Opened Sep 7, 2026 · resolved Sep 8, 2026
Resolved Sept 8, 2026. Both questions this item was opened to answer now have figures behind them. Which chain leads: Ethereum, by about $366 million, with XRPL at $1,028,965,962 or 42.5% of a $2.42 billion total. The unexplained total supply gap: the tracker's implied total of roughly $1.57 billion was about $858 million below the real figure, because its levels correspond to late June rather than September. The underlying claim moved from unverified to contradicted in the same run. One methodological caveat is carried forward into the ranked item rather than kept open here: the non-XRPL figure is a residual from total outstanding, but an independent direct read of Ethereum near $1.38 billion matches it closely enough to show the other deployment chains hold on the order of $15 million combined.
Kharg Island tanker claim: US confirmation or denial
ResolvedOpened Sept 5 after Tasnim and IRIB reported four US missiles struck an Iranian tanker about six miles from Kharg's anchorage, relayed by Reuters and AP with no CENTCOM response and no Iranian official statement. Watching: CENTCOM, Pentagon or a named US official; weekend AIS around the anchorage; any Iranian statement on the crude loading terminal; whether Tehran's promised response to a Kharg attack materialises against Gulf allies or shipping. Resolves on confirmation (claim to VERIFIED) or a direct US denial (claim to CONTRADICTED). Neither the Oil Shock nor Hormuz gauge can move higher; confirmation changes the escalation path, not the classification.
Full record
Opened Sep 5, 2026 · resolved Sep 7, 2026
Resolved Sept 7, 2026. CENTCOM confirmed the strike as primary source: US forces permanently disabled the IRGC crude carrier M/T Downy off Kharg Island as one of three tankers hit Saturday Sept 5, after IRGC ballistic missile fire at a US carrier and destroyer. The claim moved from Iranian state media to verified. The four-missile and six-mile details from the original Tasnim report were never corroborated and are recorded as such. Follow-on question, whether US strikes move from tankers to Kharg export infrastructure, carries forward under the US-Iran escalation item.
Friday Sept 4 XRP ETF print and the weekly aggregate
ResolvedOpened Sept 5 as a data integrity item. The Friday Sept 4 daily had not posted on any tracker at publish (CoinGlass placeholder row, Bitwise issuer page stamped Sept 2), and the weekly aggregate historically surfaces the following Monday, which is Labor Day. Week net +$18.96M through Thursday against $110.50M the prior week. Resolves when the daily and aggregate post; the desk will log the figure the day it lands and state whether it changed the week's read. The XRP FLOWS downgrade fires only on a verified net weekly outflow, which would require Friday to print a $19M-plus outflow.
Full record
Opened Sep 5, 2026 · resolved Sep 7, 2026
Resolved Sept 7, 2026. SoSoValue posted Friday Sept 4 as a $0.00 net session rather than leaving it unreported, so the gap was reporting lag on a genuine zero-flow day, not missing data. The weekly aggregate printed +$18.96M against $110.49M prior, roughly an 83% decline, cross-checked against a CoinGlass 73% to 96% altcoin decline band. The week was net positive, so the XRP Flows WEAKENING criterion did not fire and the gauge holds NEUTRAL with a worsening arrow. The return of zero-flow sessions carries forward as a pattern to watch.
