According to the BBC, US pop star Lizzo said she was relieved after a US district judge dismissed the remaining claims in a lawsuit against her production company, Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc. District judge Fernando L. Aenlle-Rocha ruled on Tuesday that former wardrobe assistant Asha Daniels had not shown conduct by company employees that would prove hostility toward women in the workplace or unequal treatment of men and women. Daniels had alleged degradation, forced physical labor, denial of medical care, sexual harassment and racial harassment while briefly working for the company in 2023. The judge also said the alleged conduct, while inappropriate and unprofessional, fell outside the protection of the ordinary tribulations of the workplace. He separately said injuries Daniels claimed after her foot was run over by a heavy clothes rack did not qualify as disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, said on Instagram that she would continue to fight every claim made against her and her company.

The selling that followed US airstrikes on Iran did not land evenly. Solana and Tron each shed more than 3% over 24 hours while Bitcoin gave up roughly 1% — a spread that says traders cut the fastest-moving positions first and left the base layer largely alone.Bitcoin changed hands near $77,500 during Asian trading hours Wednesday.Solana slipped back to about $100 and Tron to roughly 32 cents, the two weakest majors of the session. Ether fell 2% to just above $2,414 and XRP dropped nearly 2% to about $1.35. Dogecoin lost nearly 2% to just above 8 cents and HYPE gave up more than 1% to about $83. BNB was the most defensive with a decline of under 1% at $687.Every one of those names has traded higher over the past hour — a bid that arrived as Asian equity markets took their worst losses.The Beta Spread Is the Session's Clearest SignalHigh-beta majors giving up roughly triple what Bitcoin did is the standard pattern in a macro-driven selloff, and it tells you the selling was risk management rather than conviction.When a shock is exogenous to crypto — an oil spike, a yield surge — traders reduce exposure by cutting what moves most per unit of position. Solana and Tron qualify. Bitcoin, with the deepest liquidity and the largest institutional base, is where positions get held.The intraday bid returning while Asian equities were still falling reinforces that read. Crypto found buyers before the equity selling had exhausted itself.Oil and Bonds, Not Crypto, Drove the MoveBrent crude climbed above $95 as the strikes revived concern about shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The US 10-year Treasury yield touched 4.81% overnight, its highest in about three years.Japan's five-year government bond hit a record yield and the 10-year touched 3% for the first time in three decades. Japanese stocks fell more than 2% and South Korea's Kospi dropped more than 3%.The Japanese yields matter beyond the local market. The yen has long funded positions in US stocks and Treasuries through the carry trade, and JGB yields at three-decade highs compress the spread that trade depends on. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned last week that a disorderly yen market could feed through to higher US interest rates.September Hike Odds Reach 66% After Warsh's Jackson Hole CaseRate expectations turn all of that into pressure on crypto. CME FedWatch puts the odds of a September hike at 66%, up from about 40% seven days earlier, after Chair Kevin Warsh used Jackson Hole to argue policy may not yet be restrictive enough to tame inflation.Warsh's specific claim was that he "would be hard pressed to describe broad financial conditions as restrictive," citing credit spreads near historical lows and bank lending standards on the easier end of their range. That removes the standard argument for waiting.Gold Fell Too, Which Complicates the Rotation StoryGold slipped to about $4,296 an ounce in a second straight session of losses.That removes the easy read that money is simply rotating out of risk and into hard assets. Through August, Bitcoin and gold rose together on the debasement trade while equities lagged — both up on the same fiscal and geopolitical risk premium.Now both are falling. The mechanism cuts both ways: debasement concern supports scarce assets, but the rate response to inflation risk works against them. When yields surge and the dollar strengthens simultaneously, the rate channel dominates.Bitfinex Set the Condition Before the StrikesBitfinex analysts had framed the setup in advance, arguing Bitcoin should consolidate or grind higher "unless there is a pullback across all risk assets that drags BTC lower with it."That is precisely what arrived. The condition they flagged as the exception became the scenario.LMAX Group market strategist Joel Kruger put the level to watch above: "The key upside area remains $80,000 through the May high near $82,820." That zone overlaps the densest supply in the market — Glassnode data shows nearly 8% of Bitcoin's supply was acquired between $80,000 and $82,000, with the US spot ETF cohort's average cost basis in the same band.Friday's Jobs Report Decides Whether $80,000 Stays Out of ReachEconomists look for about 55,000 positions added in August after July's loss of 23,000, with inflation data following September 11.ADP private payrolls came in at 38,000 Tuesday — the smallest gain since January and below the 48,000 expected — which softens the case modestly without settling it. Bloomberg Chief Economist Anna Wong has argued the official report may print weak or negative, noting there is no precedent in modern Fed history for hiking after two consecutive negative payroll readings.A firm labor print hardens the September hike case and keeps the high-beta majors on the back foot into the Clarity Act vote on September 15 and the Fed decision the day after.
