Bitcoin enters September, and the market has started discussing the so-called "Red September." Historical data shows that this notion does have some basis. According to CoinGlass statistics, since 2013, out of 13 full Septembers experienced by Bitcoin, 8 ended with a decline, with an average drop close to 3%. September is also historically a relatively weak month.
However, seasonal patterns do not guarantee price declines. There have been years when September saw gains, such as in 2025 when Bitcoin rose more than 5% that month. What truly deserves attention is the macro environment.
This September, the Federal Reserve's policy meeting will be a key variable, while U.S. long-term Treasury yields remain high. If interest rate expectations continue to strengthen, risk assets may come under pressure. Currently, Bitcoin faces resistance around $81,000 to $82,500, with the $73,700 to $75,200 range below worth close monitoring.
Therefore, what requires more caution in September is the volatility brought by macro changes, rather than simply believing in the "Red September." #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 #BTC高位回落，黄金联动受考验 $BTC $ETH $SNDK SOL fully retraced its recent pump.. and the reasons are pretty obvious.
2 things that carried Solana this cycle were speed and retail mindshare.. neither is a moat anymore.
memecoin attention is moving across Robinhood, BNB and Base, while newer chains can offer the same cheap and fast experience.
Robinhood is also coming directly for tokenized stocks.
and perps mindshare is already owned by Hyperliquid.

#DailyOrbitThe leader has something to say
Entered long on BTC at above 76800. The logic for entering long at this position is the same as the order at 78100, after a round of bearish pressure. Geopolitical conflicts, US Treasury yields, and hawkish signals from the Fed are the three factors pressuring the market. 76100 is the lower edge of a dense chip area on the daily chart; the pullback with reduced volume did not break it, so try going long.
Set stop loss at 75000, target between 80500 and 81000. If wrong, lose 1800 points; if right, gain over 3700 points. The risk-reward ratio is favorable.
On the geopolitical front, the US military launched a new round of strikes on Iranian targets, and two oil tankers were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude rose, diesel prices hit a four-month high, and the cracking spread remains elevated. Energy inflation expectations are heating up, which is bearish for risk assets overall. But prices have already been hammered once, and the market is digesting this. #HormuzRiskRising, EnergyInflationInFocus
Added to the BTC long position at 76800, holding two long orders with a unified stop loss at 75000, target 80500 to 81000. Continuing to hold ZEC short positions; with two long orders plus one short order, the position is hedged, waiting for a pullback confirmation before adding more.
The above analysis is time-sensitive; orders must have stop losses set. Good luck. $BTC $ETH $SOL I think a lot of Chinese Crypto content oversimplifies the Bank of Japan. Most people know about yen carry trades, borrowing yen to buy US Treasuries, stocks, and Crypto, and thus assume BOJ rate hikes → unwind carry trades → BTC falls. This logic isn't wrong in normal times, but today Japan's 10-year government bond yield has surpassed 3%, hitting a new high since 1996, and Japanese institutions have net sold about 3 trillion yen in overseas bonds as of August 22.
This means Japanese capital is starting to recalculate whether it's more profitable to stay in Japan or invest abroad, which is a very significant change. Imagine you are Japanese (not insulting you), previously you could only get very low yields in Japanese banks, so you chose to take your money out to buy US Treasuries, European bonds, stocks, or even enter risk assets through various financial structures. But now Japan's own bond yields are rising, and you don't have to worry about exchange rates, hedging costs, or political risks associated with holding overseas assets, so naturally the money will return home.
What really matters is that this process doesn't require a large-scale carry trade exit all at once; even a small monthly reduction in overseas allocation, accumulated over years, could change global capital flows. This is why I've recently started to re-examine Japan.
Previously, I focused on when the BOJ would raise rates; now I want to explore when Japanese institutions will start to feel domestic assets are more worthwhile to buy. The former is a central bank issue, the latter is a global liquidity issue—completely different.
If Japanese capital continues to flow back and US Treasuries remain high, global risk assets will face a sustained uncontrollable shock. I'm not being alarmist; Japan has been a major source of global capital markets for decades. If domestic Japanese bond yields become increasingly attractive, do Japanese institutions still need to play the role of global cheap capital providers?
So if you hold BTC, the Nasdaq, or other high Beta assets long-term, I suggest you start thinking about a simple question: are Japanese people still willing to lend money to the world? This might be the real thing worth studying in the coming years, and Japan could even be one of the biggest hidden macro variables in 2026#日本长债收益率升至高位 🚨【Are institutional funds rotating? This is the signal worth paying attention to now】
BTC has been under pressure recently, but ETF funds have not collectively withdrawn; instead, an interesting change has occurred.
On August 31, BTC spot ETFs recorded a net inflow of about $217 million, with BlackRock's IBIT alone absorbing about $206 million; ETH ETFs also continued to see inflows. Even more striking, SOL ETFs had a net inflow of about $153 million last week, marking the strongest single-week performance since launch.
So I am now more inclined to believe: funds have not left crypto but are being reallocated.
BTC remains the institutional core holding, but as BTC’s short-term upside narrows, some funds are starting to seek ETH, SOL, and even higher Beta assets.
However, do not interpret this as "ETF inflows = immediate surge." What really matters is whether the inflows can ultimately translate into price.
If BTC continues to trade sideways while ETH and SOL consistently outperform BTC, that will be the true rotation signal.
So don’t rush to chase now; first observe who is absorbing funds and who is outperforming BTC.
#BTC高位回落，黄金联动受考验 #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 #This time, it wasn't a listed company buying Bitcoin on the market after raising funds. Instead, Blockstream co-founder Adam Back directly handed over 10 $BTC he held to the UK-listed Connecting Excellence Group (XCE) to subscribe to the company's newly issued shares with Bitcoin. According to the company's September 1 announcement, the subscription value of these 10 BTC was about $578,000. 1. The direction of this transaction is exactly the opposite. The previous Bitcoin Treasury model we saw usually was: the listed company raises funds → buys BTC with cash→ BTC goes to the company's balance sheet. But this time, Adam Back personally holds BTC → transfers 10 BTC to the listed company → exchanges for newly issued shares→ BTC goes directly into the company's Treasury. After completion, XCE's Bitcoin holdings will increase to 72.941 BTC, about 15.9% higher than before. Adam Back will receive about 38.53 million new shares, ultimately holding about 29.0% of the expanded company's shares. 2. He is actually exchanging BTC for "BTC Treasury Company Equity" This is what makes this transaction quite special. Adam Back originally held 10 BTC directly, but now he has exchanged this BTC for a Bitcoin Treasury Company今天山寨最值得看的，不是谁涨得最多，而是一个很明显的反差： 大部分重点山寨都在跌，$ENA 却在逆势放量上涨。 $SOL 约跌3.0%，HYPE约跌2.8%，LINK约跌1.5%，SUI约跌0.8%，AVAX也小幅回落。 但ENA约涨5.3%，过去7天涨约9.6%，24小时成交量较前一天增加约78%。 一、这不像山寨季，更像资金在做选择 如果是典型的Altseason，通常应该看到高Beta资产集体走强，SOL、HYPE、Meme、Perps等方向同步活跃。 但现在恰恰相反。 过去一周$BTC 市值占比反而上升约0.6个百分点，多数重点山寨也没有跟涨。 所以现在更像是： 资金没有全面进入山寨，而是在少数标的之间做结构性轮动。 ENA就是其中比较明显的一个。 二、ENA为什么能逆势走强？ 关键在于它不只有价格上涨，还有协议数据和产品催化配合。 Ethena目前TVL约46.6亿美元，过去30天增长约13.4%，同期手续费约1595万美元。 与此同时，Ethena Pay还在继续推进支付、储蓄收益和卡产品。 所以ENA这轮表现和单纯靠情绪推动的上涨不太一样。 至少目前能看到一条比较完整的*Money hasn't left the circle, it's just changing seats* 💺
Your data capture is very accurate. $BTC is falling, but ETFs are still buying = the story isn't dead, just the main character has changed
*August 31 ETF Fund Flow Breakdown*
*1. $BTC: +$216.7 million*
Fell 2% but still buying. BlackRock IBIT alone took $205.9 million, accounting for 95%
Translation: Institutions are buying at $77K. Retail panics, BlackRock doesn't
*2. $ETH: +$87.7 million, 11 consecutive gains*
This is the fiercest. 11 days without a break. ETH/BTC exchange rate is starting to rise
*3. $SOL: Weekly inflow $153 million, strongest week in history*
Institutions are starting to allocate to the "Solana ecosystem." Speed + narrative + on-chain data all support this
*4. $HYPE high beta*
Small coins are heating up. This shows risk appetite isn't dead, just rotating from big coins to small coins
*So is it "exiting" or "rotation"?*
*Answer: Rotation. Not fleeing*
The logic chain is as follows:
1. *Macro is weak* → $BTC and $ETH can't hold, $77K sideways
2. *Institutions aren't bearish* → BlackRock is still buying BTC, indicating long-term optimism
3. *Retail + speculators are out of money* → Don't dare buy big coins, start speculating on $SOL and $HYPE with higher volatility
4. *ETH is the most favored* → 11 consecutive inflows, possibly betting on "ETH as the next ETF narrative" Today I saw controversy in the community about Predict's financing.
At the same time, the data for prediction markets in August has also been released.
The combined trading volume of Kalshi, Polymarket, and Polymarket US dropped 14.5% month-over-month, falling to $45.33 billion.
This is the first monthly decline in nearly a year.
Kalshi: $37.17 billion
Polymarket + Polymarket US: $8.16 billion
Kalshi alone accounts for about 82%.
But I don't think this indicates that demand for predictions has disappeared. The trading volume in prediction markets is highly dependent on events like elections, sports, macro policies, and crypto market trends.
A 14.5% drop in one month is more of a cooldown after the World Cup. After all, there was still $45.3 billion in transactions in one month, so demand still truly exists.
Kalshi and Polymarket US pursue compliance, building a moat that is hard for others to replicate through licenses, regulation, and the US domestic financial system.
Predict pursues integration. By connecting to Binance Wallet, Trust Wallet, APIs, and the Builder Program, it allows more wallets, bots, trading tools, and third-party applications to become entry points for Predict.
This analogy is not exactly the same, but the competition logic is very similar: on one side building regulatory moats, on the other side competing for entry points, liquidity, and developers $SKHY Hynix still has to fall! The HBM story is over, the rebound is just a shorting opportunity, target directly at 150
Why does it have to fall more? Three deadly reasons
Macro is terrible: US-Iran war pushes oil price to 91, Fed's September rate hike probability nearly 70%, foreign capital selling Korean stocks daily
HBM story can't continue: Nvidia's next generation cuts HBM from 12 layers to 8 layers, demand halved; Samsung's yield improvement removes Hynix's pricing power, UBS has already cut profit margin to 60%
US is targeting it: must build factories in the US at 3 times the cost, and share profits, otherwise 100% tariff
Earnings and market confidence worse: Q2 both missed expectations, good news fully priced and turned bad; dropped over 20% from the high, each rebound weaker, breaking 158 means directly targeting 150
Operation: short on rebound without hesitation! US stocks short at 164-166, stop loss 168, target 155→150; Korean stocks short at 165-168, stop loss 170, target 158→150.

Although OKX hasn't issued a detailed announcement, combining recent events, we can basically guess
*Why did OKX delist $CORE staking?*
1. *Supply incident not clearly explained*
Validators issued extra rewards → emergency hard fork → total supply 2.1B cap broken
Exchanges fear "infinite minting" the most. Stake today, tomorrow an extra 1 million tokens flood the market, who takes responsibility?
2. *Deposits and withdrawals suspended = chain is unsafe*

Keeping staking active is like locking users' tokens in a black hole, customer complaints will explode
3. *Centralized hard fork violates the "staking" premise*
Staking assumes chain stability and immutable rules.
$CORE forks whenever it wants, DAO rolls back whenever it wants. This is no longer PoS, it's a "multisig chain"
OKX doesn't dare let users continue "earning tokens", fearing the tokens become worthless after forks
4. *Compliance + risk control*

If a supply incident occurs, the exchange still takes the blame. The safest approach: delist first, wait for dust to settle

"What exchanges delist is not the token, but uncertainty"
From $6.14 to $0.02, -99.7%. Supply issue unexplained, DeFi yields are declining, and market risk appetite is contracting
The actual yields from on-chain lending and staking continue to fall, often signaling a cooling of market speculative sentiment.
High-yield mining is largely disappearing, with funds withdrawing from DeFi and shifting toward large-cap blue chips; when on-chain yields rise again, it indicates a return of market speculation enthusiasm and more opportunities in small-cap tokens.

The AI storage arms race continues to accelerate. In Q2, silicon wafer procurement surged 104% quarter-on-quarter, significantly outpacing capacity expansion. On one hand, this anticipates upstream silicon wafer price increases by locking in raw materials early; on the other hand, it is for stocking HBM and other AI storage chips, racing ahead of next-generation computing power storage demand. Semiconductor equipment manufacturer BESI predicts AI-related revenue could nearly triple next year. SK Hynix's advanced packaging equipment orders are already queued, confirming the capacity expansion logic of HBM advanced packaging on the upstream equipment side. Industry prosperity has not materially deteriorated. Technically, the trend has weakened: SAR resistance at 1240 suppresses the upside; EMA21=1208 and EMA55=1212 moving averages have all been broken down. Indicators show KDJ-J value at -12.2, RSI6=32.14, short-term momentum exhausted, already in oversold territory, indicating an emotional sell-off rather than a fundamental collapse.
Current market sentiment is very conflicted: near the 1200 level, chasing funds hesitate, holders want to exit but are reluctant to cut losses; buyers wait for lower prices, sellers hope for a rebound to exit.
When fundamental positives and technical weakness conflict, the market often prioritizes digesting short-term sentiment.

Market Overview
UNI surged nearly 15% in a single day, breaking above $6 to reach an 8-month high. The catalyst comes from the increased locked value on Robinhood Chain, Uniswap earning substantial protocol fees, combined with the burn mechanism driving a deflationary narrative, making the fundamental story very hot; futures open interest rose to $500 million, with institutions and whales positioning both spot and derivatives.
However, this is a counter-trend move as BTC weakened during the same period. The $6 level is seen as a key battleground between bulls and bears.
Risk points: Revenue is highly dependent on a single source, Robinhood Chain; the protocol team also warns that burn revenue is unsustainable, and $6 is a historically dense resistance level.
Scenario analysis: Only by holding above $6 can further valuation recovery be expected; if dragged down by the broader market, the first support is at $5.5, and the $4.8–5.0 range is a low-risk zone for trial and error. It is not recommended to chase highs at $6.
Market Logic
This is an event-driven, independent narrative market. Despite the weak broader market, it shows a counter-trend rally, and such isolated coin moves tend to be more volatile.
The surge in fees and deflationary burns are short-term positives, but revenue is concentrated on a single partner chain. Once the hype fades, earnings will quickly decline, and the story cannot simply continue linearly.
The sharp rise in open interest indicates both bulls and bears are increasing their stakes, making violent spikes likely in the future, which can trigger both long and short squeezes.
.Dell and GitLab both surged after hours; is the AI market starting to expand more broadly again?
Dell $DELL surged nearly 9% after hours.
Q2 revenue was $46.97 billion, up 58% year-over-year, with adjusted EPS of $7.04, significantly beating expectations. AI server Q2 orders reached $60.9 billion, with a backlog of $9.5 billion. The company also raised its full-year revenue guidance.
GitLab $GTLB is also strong.
Q2 revenue was $286 million, up 21% year-over-year, with adjusted EPS of $0.24, beating market expectations. It also raised its full-year guidance and surged nearly 20% after hours.
After seeing these two sets of data, I lean toward the view that AI investment is not yet nearing its end.
NVIDIA sells chips, Dell sells servers, and GitLab caters to development-side demand. As long as big companies keep investing heavily in expanding AI infrastructure, the opportunities ahead may not be limited to chip companies like $NVDA.
In the short term, I won’t chase after-hours gains. If DELL can open high tomorrow and hold steady, the strength may continue. GTLB’s gains are already quite large, so be cautious of a pullback after a spike.
Next, we’ll see if AI capital expenditures can continue to rise.
DYOR 🚨AI hardware collectively takes a breather, should the crypto world be cautious too?
On September 2nd, before the market opened, a noteworthy signal emerged: the semiconductor, memory, and optical communication sectors in the US market all showed a general pullback. Although most declines were not large, the optical communication sector was noticeably weaker.
In semiconductors, Intel fell 1.01%, Arm dropped 1.09%, and both Lam Research and Applied Materials also declined; the memory sector couldn’t hold up either, with Hynix, Micron, Western Digital, SanDisk, and Seagate Technology all slightly down.
What’s really worth watching are the “shovel sellers” in the AI industry chain. Astera Labs dropped 1.3%, Applied Optoelectronics fell 1.14%, Coherent declined 1%, Lumentum dropped 1.2%, and Credo plunged 8.77%📉.
Why do I highlight this?
Because the market hype is no longer just about AI models, but extends from chips, memory, and optical modules all the way to data centers, power, and network infrastructure. To put it plainly, the AI battle isn’t over yet, but the shovel sellers have already been rotated through by capital.
But here’s the problem: when these sectors closest to AI capital expenditure start to loosen up, the market is actually signaling that the valuation of the AI theme is no longer cheap, and capital’s tolerance for "whether AI can continue to surge wildly" is declining.
It’s even easier to understand this in the crypto world.Market Brief: Breakdown of Market Logic Amid Escalating Geopolitical Conflicts
Market Overview
The US-Iran conflict continues to escalate, with oil tankers attacked in the Strait of Hormuz and retaliatory airstrikes exchanged, causing oil prices to surge sharply. As a result, BTC dipped to 76762, ETH fell below 2400, with a 24-hour decline close to 2.92%.
On-chain data shows whales transferring 70,739 ETH to exchanges, with a large balance yet to be moved, indicating potential selling pressure. A unique phenomenon in this market is that risk assets and traditional safe-haven gold both dropped by 2.6%. The core logic is that the oil price surge pushes up inflation expectations, the market prices in a higher probability of a Fed rate hike in September, raising the risk-free interest rate, which suppresses assets like BTC, ETH, and gold that do not generate cash flow.
Market Logic
Geopolitical conflicts do not directly benefit crypto; the impact depends on the secondary macroeconomic outcomes. This conflict drives oil prices up → inflation rebounds → rate hike expectations rise, which is bearish for crypto, explaining the unusual market where gold and crypto both fall.
Large whale transfers to exchanges indicate potential selling risk, but transfers do not mean immediate dumping; funds may also hedge with contracts, so on-chain data should not be the sole basis for shorting.
The current decline is not purely due to ETH-specific selling pressure but reflects macro pressure borne by all categories of risk assets, with the overall market environment dragging down most coins.
Trading Insights
Do not reflexively treat geopolitical events as bullish; focus on how the event transmits to inflation and Fed policy, as this is the fundamental chain affecting the market. The hottest Robinhood chain recently, which coins benefit?
Just saw that the launch platform PONS on the Robinhood chain has had protocol fees surpass $PUMP for two consecutive days, and recently in the secondary market, $ARB surged explosively yesterday, and $UNI hit a recent high today.
The $ARB surge is because Robinhood uses ARB's technology, and according to their agreement, 10% of the revenue must be given to ARB. But ARB is under heavy selling pressure, so personally, I am not optimistic.
Then there's UNI, which had a buyback and burn amount of $580,000 yesterday, with the Robinhood chain contributing $390,000, accounting for 67%.
Next is PONS, the largest launch platform on the Robinhood chain, with protocol fees of $5.97 million in the last 24 hours and revenue of $1.1 million. Its buyback and burn has already approached 30% of the total supply. The official statement says that 80% of 30% of total revenue is used to buy back and burn PONS. As long as the market is booming, theoretically, its buyback and burn is the strongest.
Summarizing the above: PONS > UNI > ARB

Bitcoin sharply dropped from above $81,000, once touching $76,300. Many traders are asking: is this the result of "early digestion" of the non-farm data? After Friday's non-farm release, will it continue to fall?
First, I believe the decline is indeed related to non-farm expectations.
The August non-farm employment report released on September 4 is the last employment data before the Fed's September 15-16 meeting. Previously, Fed Chair Powell sent a hawkish signal at the Jackson Hole symposium, pushing the probability of a September rate hike from 35% to nearly 60%. The market expects August non-farm additions of about 55,000-65,000, with unemployment steady at 4.1%—compared to July's negative growth of 23,000, this is an expectation of a "violent rebound."
But what really matters is the "expectation gap."
Reuters surveyed an expectation of 58,000. If the data is significantly below expectations (below 30,000), the probability of a rate hike decreases, and BTC may rebound; if it meets expectations (50,000-80,000), the market faces "good news already priced in" pressure—because the expectation of "weak non-farm" has already been largely digested, if the data isn't that weak, the rate hike expectation may even hold or rise; if it exceeds expectations (over 100,000), $76,000 may not hold.
Whether the non-farm is "good or bad" depends on "whether the market has already priced it in." $BTC #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 $CORE — Did Institutions Really Enter in September? One of the most widely circulated narratives in the community this September is that institutional funds will enter $CORE in large volumes, potentially triggering a major price recovery. But narratives are not the same as evidence. Looking at the current on-chain data, exchange flows, and official announcements, there is still no solid evidence confirming large-scale institutional inflows into CORE during September. For now, the institutional-Thinking that playing with 100% fully circulating Meme tokens is fair? It's just a different way to get harvested.
Retail investors in the secondary market, scared by high FDV VC tokens, have started to fervently chase 100% fully circulating Meme tokens, believing that without institutional unlocking dumps, this is truly a pure land for retail investors.
But the truth is often harsher than imagined: full circulation never means dispersed chips.
In the extremely competitive on-chain PVP, what you see as a “100% fair launch” is often a puppet show where the whales and internal teams sweep the liquidity pool with dozens of automated scripts 0.1 seconds before the market opens. They hold over 70% of extremely low-cost chips, ready to dump and run with one click at the peak of hype, without even needing the cover of lock-up periods.
In contrast, the heavily criticized VC tokens, although overvalued, have unlock schedules, release ratios, and investment institution costs all transparently listed on-chain, making it a game of open cards.
In crypto, there is never absolute kindness or fairness. Fully circulating Meme tokens are stealthy “speedrun slaughter,” while VC tokens are “open card duels” that require understanding the rhythm. Treating “fully circulating” as a money-making talisman often leads to the fastest losses.

In recent years, NVIDIA has not just been selling chips; it has started using investments, partnerships, and platform ecosystems to bring more companies into its computing system. MediaTek handles SoC, edge devices, automotive, and some custom chip capabilities, while NVIDIA provides GPUs, software, and AI platforms. Once connected, the market immediately thinks of a closed loop from cloud to edge.
But this also raises an increasingly significant question: Is AI demand naturally growing, or is it being pushed up mutually by capital and cooperation agreements?
I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. Strong companies naturally use cash flow to expand their ecosystems. Investors just need to distinguish between genuine demand and demand that is being propped up; valuation treatment should not be the same.
#英伟达向联发科投资35亿美元 On the first day of September, ETF funds showed a clear divergence!
A single-day net outflow of $236.46 million
ETH, SOL, and XRP all attracted capital!
Funds have not left Crypto
It looks more like aggressive rotation! #加密财库扩张面临指数资格考验
On September 1, the US spot Bitcoin ETF recorded a net outflow of about $236.46 million, becoming the only bleeding line among the four major mainstream Crypto ETFs. During the same period, Ethereum had a net inflow of $10.95 million, SOL a net inflow of $10.19 million, and XRP also received an incremental $14.38 million in funds.
The interesting part of this structure is that when BTC faced redemptions, funds did not fully exit Crypto but instead continued flowing into ETH, SOL, and XRP. If this divergence continues, the market should watch whether funds are actively spreading from BTC to high Beta assets, rather than a simple risk-off.
BTC is bleeding, but the other three lines have buyers.
If this rotation continues to amplify, the relative strength of Altcoins may start to be aggressively realized! $BTC $ETH $XRP Strategy's net debt is zero! $65 billion in $BTC on hand, Saylor's "zero leverage" king returns
Just now, a Bloomberg interview dropped big news: Strategy CEO Phong Le confirmed the company has total assets of $72 billion, including $65 billion in Bitcoin (about 845,000 BTC, over 4% of circulating supply), $7 billion in cash, and net debt reduced from about $7 billion to zero.
The key is not "how much is held," but the change in balance sheet structure:
• After stopping purchases for about 9 weeks, they resumed buying at the end of August (4,603 BTC at an average price of $80,300)
• Zero debt plus increased cash means defusing the bomb of the high-leverage model planned for 2025
• Le explicitly said: they will continue buying at $80k/$100k/$130k+, focusing on capital structure rather than price
In plain terms: previously it was "borrowing money to accumulate BTC," now it's "equity financing + zero debt base" to accumulate BTC. MSTR has transformed from a leveraged crypto play into a BTC treasury bond with software cash flow, able to withstand downturns and participate in upswings without liquidation.
Signals for retail investors:
① Institutional cost basis is about $76,000; current price is above that so they are still in profit, expecting weak selling pressure
② Corporate treasury buying is back; the $80k range is not a top but a reference for consolidation
③ But don't get carried away—zero debt ≠ no BTC pullbacks; grid trading/dollar-cost averaging is still more comfortable than all-in.I really can't take it anymore, who is actually winning in this game? Every time I lose and walk away, it's really exhausting. I originally didn't want to open a position today, but then I saw BTC's trend continuously sliding down, and I couldn't resist making a trade, only to get stuck right after entering. BTC is stuck at 77,000, while altcoins quietly surged 28%. What exactly is being traded in this market? Have you noticed that the most dangerous position recently isn't the one that fell the hardest, but the one that looks "safest"? Let me first state the facts I observed. BTC is still hovering around 77,200, unable to reclaim 80,000, a level that has been tugged back and forth for several days. ETH is at 2,410 USD, with greater elasticity than BTC, but its volatility is clearly rising. Then the funds move to the riskiest layer: ACE surged 28%, CHIP up 13.5%, FIL up 11.5%, UNI up 10.7%. This is not a broad rally, but a stratification. My understanding is that the market is not choosing between options but pricing risk. BTC acts like a defensive asset; funds treat it as a safe haven, but the cost of a safe haven is stagnation. ETH is the middle layer, where those who want elasticity but don't want too much risk stay. The altcoin surge essentially means someone is exchanging high volatility for high odds. But what’s really worth pondering is the signal revealed by the derivatives structure. BTC hasn't broken 80,000, but the implied volatility in the options market hasn't dropped significantly, indicating everyone is waiting for one direction, and no one isThe surface looks lively as if it's about to surge to 79,000, but I always feel something's off when I watch the market. Have you noticed that these "low points being raised, everyone wanting to get on board" markets are often the most deceptive? Tonight, I opened a BTCUSDT long position—not on impulse, but after a complete plan. Entry at 78,319.4, 20x leverage, very small position size, only 0.0027. Stop loss set at 77,000, target between 79,000 and 79,500. Liquidation price is 72,071.8, and I know what that distance means: if I'm wrong, I won't hold the position. Let me share the market details I observed. BTC slowly ground from 77,400 to 78,300, with the bottom indeed rising. MA5 is at 78,125, MA10 at 78,013, both lines supporting the price from below, short-term buyers have the advantage. The 77,400 to 77,600 area was tested twice today without breaking, so the support is real. But the 79,000 to 79,400 zone also has solid resistance; I'll proactively reduce my position there, not greedy for the last bit. I understand what the market is trading. Tonight, the US has intensive employment data releases, and the Fed's policy stance is being repeatedly tested. BTC's correlation with gold is strengthening, indicating that funds are allocating it as a safe-haven asset rather than purely speculating on risk. This shift in positioning is important, meaning that even if the US stock market fluctuates, BTC's downside might be limited.Reasons for OKX Removing CORE On-Chain Earning Feature
Risk Warning: Virtual currencies are not protected by domestic laws. The following is only an industry information review and does not constitute investment advice.
The exchange has not issued a separate long qualitative announcement specifically for CORE. Based on industry rules, product mechanisms, and community information, there are four layers of real reasons:
1. Protocol-level risks: CORE staking has a long unlocking period and high technical uncertainty
CORE on-chain staking has an unlocking waiting period; after delegated staking, immediate redemption is not possible. In case of mainnet upgrades, validator failures, or protocol bugs, the exchange cannot quickly retrieve user assets.
On-chain earning means the exchange stakes on behalf of users on the public chain. If the network experiences anomalies, the exchange must bear the redemption pressure from users. Core DAO’s early validator reward mechanism had abnormal incidents, amplifying platform risk concerns.
Note: This does not mean CORE is worthless; the exchange simply no longer provides the staking entry. Users can still withdraw CORE to the official wallet and stake on-chain themselves.
2. Exchange’s overall contraction of on-chain earning products
OKX is not only removing CORE but has gradually delisted on-chain staking products for multiple public chains (Avalanche, OKT, etc.).
Overseas regulations (such as the EU’s MiCA) impose increasingly strict compliance requirements on centralized platforms proxying DeFi staking: platforms must bear compliance responsibility for risks, returns, and lock-up consequences of staking. Many exchanges proactively reduce third-party public chain delegated staking earning services to lessen compliance burdens.
The on-chain earning protocol itself allows platforms to pause or remove staking products at any time, as stated in the user agreement.
3. Mismatch between returns and operational costs
- CORE staking rewards come from block inflation rewards, which fluctuate greatly; inflation release schedules may change;
- The exchange must maintain nodes, collect rewards, pay on-chain gas fees, and manage user redemption scheduling;
- If the coin price continues to bottom out, staking returns become less attractive, the platform bears technical and redemption risks, but the commercial value generated is limited, so this product is prioritized for removal.
4. Clarification of market misconceptions
❌ Misconception 1: Removing earning means delisting CORE trading
→ Incorrect, only the "on-chain earning/staking finance" is removed; spot trading and deposits/withdrawals remain normal.
❌ Misconception 2: The project had a major security breach and ran away
→ No official announcement disclosing major security incidents; the mainnet is operating normally.
❌ Misconception 3: The exchange is bearish on this project
→ Removing finance products ≠ denying the coin narrative; finance products are independent and have separate review logic from coin trading pairs.
Practical tips for users
1. For CORE already in on-chain earning: the exchange will execute redemption and return funds to the account; pay attention to platform redemption cycle notifications;
2. For those who still want to participate in CORE staking: withdraw CORE from the exchange to the official Core wallet and delegate stake directly on the Core DAO official website, bearing lock-up and network risks yourself;
3. Distinguish between exchange-custodied staking vs. user self-custodied on-chain staking; the risks are completely different.Shorted CRM at 260 last night $CRM
Three points of logic:
1️⃣ Three days after the earnings report, the price hit a new high, but volume was halved: 55.52 million → 34.36 million → 22.47 million, and today it’s only 6.07 million so far. The volume for the upward push is gone, only the position remains.
2️⃣ The gap up at 24.43 on August 27 is still hanging.
3️⃣ The current macro environment is a combination of slowing growth and sticky inflation, with unstable risk appetite.
Overall, the cost-performance of shorting now is quite high.
If the close stands above 263.5, I will consider exiting, with a hard stop loss at 266Bitcoin Is Pulling Back. The Leverage Flush May Matter More Than The Price. $BTC is back below $80K. But I’m not looking at the pullback alone. I’m watching what is happening underneath it. Bitcoin futures open interest was around $54.8B recently, while derivatives positioning has been cooling after the aggressive late-August move. That matters because falling open interest during weakness can mean leverage is being removed rather than fresh leverage piling into the selloff. 0 That distinctionThe crypto industry is sparking a wave of token economy reforms.
Fifteen projects including Ethena, Solana, and Polygon are rewriting token models, focusing on four core directions: curbing inflation, buybacks, unlocking adjustments, and staking modifications.
This year, project teams have repurchased nearly $640 million, surpassing the same period last year.
However, Hyperliquid and pump.fun alone account for 90%, indicating that value capture transformation remains highly concentrated.
Buybacks do not necessarily mean price increases; Chainlink, Jupiter, and Layerzero all fell after buybacks.
The key is not how many tokens are burned, but whether the overall pie can grow.
The token economy is shifting from "designing a set of rules" to "designing a business." $SOL $ETH September 1st is the dividing line: Q3 rebound has already completed 70%
The current market situation is actually very clear.
Just like how ETH clearly strengthened after June 30th ended and July 1st began, September 1st is another very clear dividing line: the adjustment has started.
ETH has been rising continuously for two months and it’s time for a correction.
I mentioned a few days ago:
This Q3 rebound has already completed about 70%.
ETH rose from around 1500 to 2500–2560, with a cumulative increase of over 60%. For a quarterly rebound in a bear market, this is already a very high range.
So if you gradually built your ETH position in the 1500–1700 bottom area and hold a heavy spot position, I think you should have started to realize profits:
At least 40%–50%.
Around 2400 is still considered a high-level area.
Bottoms are not all-in in one day, and highs are not all-out in one day.
Buy in batches at low levels, sell in batches at high levels.
Of course, if you are a long-term holder who doesn’t move for years, just ignore what I said.
Now looking at UNI.
UNI has nearly doubled in this round, and the upside space is clearly narrowing. Currently, I see it more as repeated pullbacks within a downward structure.
It won’t drop all in one day, because September is still the last month of Q3, and the quarterly line is still rising.
But if I still hold UNI spot now:
I would choose to basically realize almost all profits.
For ETH, I still see two scenarios I’ve repeatedly mentioned before.
First, a strong correction: bottoming near 2200.
If it can hold here steadily, there is still one last chance in September to retake the previous high of 2560, and if stronger, even higher.
Second, a weak correction: near 2000 or even breaking below 2000.
If it goes like this, then the subsequent rebound height will most likely be lower than 2560, and 2560 itself might be the final high of this Q3 rebound.
And don’t forget the most important issue:
Volume.
I have been emphasizing recently that the trading volume during this ETH rise has never truly kept up.
Even if this time it only corrects to 2200 and then rebounds, I am not blindly optimistic about 2800–3000.
Because for the main force to pull ETH from 2500 to 2800 requires real cost in actual money.
Without new volume, the higher it goes, the more it tends to become a distribution area for low-level spot funds rather than a chase-up area for new funds.
So now we can only:
Move forward while watching the volume.
I still believe there will be one last rebound in Q3 during September.
But after September ends, the whole logic will be completely different.
This round of BTC and ETH rise itself is typical:
Price rises fast, but volume does not keep up.
So my judgment remains unchanged:
Q3 is a math problem rebound, not a new bull market.
And this round of volume-less rise is precisely providing counter-evidence for a Q4 decline.The probability of a rate hike has surged to 68%, yet the crypto community is still debating "how many rate cuts"?
Two weeks ago, the market assigned a 35% chance of a rate hike in September; now it's 66%-68%. This isn't just a correction of expectations, it's a complete rewrite of the entire script.
The main character is Federal Reserve Chair Powell. At Jackson Hole, he never mentioned "rate hikes" but reiterated the 2% target, questioned whether core inflation is truly declining, refused to provide forward guidance, and advocated for the Fed to communicate "more quietly." Translation: I'm not telling you what I'm going to do; you figure it out yourself. The CME FedWatch reaction was immediate: the probability of a 25 basis point hike on September 16 climbed from 35% to nearly 70%, with at least one hike priced in for the year.
What's even more critical is the reversal of logic: the Fed's default stance shifted from "no action unless data demands it" to "act unless data proves no need to." Deutsche Bank, Barclays, and Societe Generale have revised their forecasts to bet on 25bp hikes in both September and December, while Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley still bet on no hikes.
My position: the biggest risk this round isn't the Middle East, it's interest rates. The 10-year US Treasury yield has reached its highest level since early 2025, sharply raising the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets. #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 $BTC $ETH $CL Last night WTI surged directly to 90.82, Brent crude broke through 95, catching the shorts off guard. The trigger was the US military airstrike on targets inside Iran, with two oil tankers attacked in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump immediately warned that if Iran retaliates, it will be completely wiped out. The reason oil prices have been rising is simple: the Strait of Hormuz is the choke point for 21% of global oil trade. Now that fighting has broken out there, the geopolitical premium is far from fully priced in. The market has not yet factored in the possibility of a full blockade of the strait; if the situation escalates further, not only 92 but even 100 could be reached. The geopolitical-driven rise has always been characterized by sharp surges and longer-than-expected persistence. As long as the strait remains unstable, oil prices are easier to rise than fall. Shorts can wait for signals, but never stubbornly catch a falling knife. Now that it has pulled back near 90, you can lightly try going long, with a stop loss below 89.5, targeting 92.5 first; if it holds, then look at 95. #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 #Robinhood链上放量，币股Meme引争议 #财报观察员：戴尔业绩超预期，博通雪花接棒 🚨ISM+JOLTS released, the market is caught in a dilemma.
ISM Manufacturing at 54.6 (previous 55.6, expected 55.2), still expanding but momentum is slowing; JOLTS job openings at 7.27 million, a slight rebound.
Neither data is decisive, the probability of a rate hike in September has already reached over 66%, and US Treasury yields remain high.
The real drama is Friday's Nonfarm Payrolls: weak data → cooling rate hike expectations; strong data → hawkish logic reinforced.
$BTC is under pressure and fluctuating around 77500.
Employment is slowly cooling without crashing, this kind of pattern is the most frustrating.
Don't bet on direction prematurely, wait for the Nonfarm data to land before deciding. The big picture hasn't changed, only the pace is shifting. Showing my positions without hiding. BTC current price 77018, down 1.05% in 24h, high 78388 low 76385. Equity 3972U, total unrealized loss 864U, margin ratio 1865%, far from liquidation.
Going through the four long positions one by one, reporting entry points without leverage:
1. BTC long: opened at 78341.8 now 77018, unrealized loss 50U. Supports at 77000, 76500, 76385; resistances at 77364, 77742, 78000. If it breaks below 76385, admit mistake and reduce position; reduce half on rebound between 77742 and 78000.
2. Gold long: opened at 4433.6 now 4328, unrealized loss 715U, biggest loss source. Supports at 4300, 4288, 4250; resistances at 4372, 4416. Cut half if it breaks 4288, don’t let one position drag down the whole account.
3. Silver long: opened at 65.35 now 64.16, unrealized loss 110U, liquidation price 22.9 is far away, reduce position before breaking previous low 63.43.
4. BCH long: opened at 245.8 now 245, unrealized loss 2U, stop loss set at 240.6.
Knowledge point: Why hasn’t gold’s 71% unrealized loss triggered liquidation? All four positions share margin; margin ratio 1865% means minimum requirement is 18x. But don’t feel safe and hold recklessly; the biggest pitfall is one big losing position slowly eating up margin from other positions.
Currently recovering from a 200,000U loss, always use stop loss if not holding. The most urgent thing now is to firmly set stop loss on gold, the biggest losing position. $BTC #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 $ETH ETF has had net inflows for 11 consecutive trading days, but this does not mean the price will rise sharply.
According to data compiled by Farside, on August 31, the US spot ETH ETF had net inflows of about $87.6 million, with BlackRock ETHA accounting for about $59.9 million. Continuous capital inflow indicates there is demand support, but it itself is not a confirmation of a breakout.
I am more focused on three follow-up signals:
1. Whether a higher low can be formed during pullbacks, rather than relying on a single long lower shadow to hold;
2. Whether there can be consecutive closing confirmations after breaking resistance;
3. Whether ETF funds can continue to flow in, rather than relying on data from just one day.
Capital flow tells us "someone is absorbing," while the candlestick structure determines "whether buying has transformed into a trend." If the price repeatedly returns inside the breakout zone, it is more likely a supported consolidation rather than a confirmed new trend.
Are you more focused now on ETF funds or on the $ETH candlestick structure? $BTC Bitcoin has recently been fluctuating around $80,000, with the market starting to focus on the approximately $6.44 billion worth of Deribit options expiring this Friday. The huge figures easily trigger concerns of a "delivery day crash," but the nominal value does not equal actual capital inflow or outflow; a significant portion of these options may expire worthless, so it should not be simply interpreted as sell-off pressure.
The widely discussed $70,000 "maximum pain point" is also not necessarily the target price Bitcoin will fall to. In contrast, the $75,000 to $80,000 range is where option positions are more densely concentrated. When the price fluctuates here, market makers' hedging may actually limit short-term volatility.
What is truly worth watching are the macro factors. If Federal Reserve policy signals coincide with the option expiration, it could amplify market moves. If the price breaks below $75,000, attention can be paid to around $69,000; if it effectively breaks above $80,000, it could open up further upside potential.
Therefore, this option expiration is more like a short-term disturbance rather than a decisive "bull-bear showdown" for the trend. In trading, there is no need to be swayed by delivery day sentiment; waiting for a genuine breakout or breakdown at key levels is often more important than prematurely betting on direction. $ETH #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 #21家金融机构拟推美元稳定币 #BTC高位回落，黄金联动受考验 单季收入 962 亿美元，数据中心收入同比增长 117%，下一季还准备冲到 1080 亿美元。 这样的成绩单放在绝大多数公司身上，足够开香槟。放在英伟达身上，市场的第一反应却是先挑刺，盘后一度走弱，电话会后才重新转涨。 这不是投资者看不懂增长，而是英伟达已经把“超预期”活活卷成了及格线。 我觉得这份财报真正暴露的，不是 AI 需求突然见顶，而是市场给英伟达换了一张考卷。以前的问题是：AI 芯片到底有没有客户？现在的问题变成：客户花出去的巨额资本开支，最终能不能从自己的用户那里赚回来？ 公司这季数据中心收入达到 890 亿美元，毛利率维持在 75%，硬件需求显然还强。华尔街预计，大型科技公司今年的 AI 基础设施支出会从去年的约 4000 亿美元跃升到 7300 亿美元以上。只要这些数据中心继续开工，GPU 的订单就有支撑。 可市场开始追问资金的“含金量”。芯片公司投资算力服务商，算力服务商融资盖机房，再回来采购芯片；云厂商与模型公司之间也通过长期合同、股权和债务互相捆绑。这不等于需求是假的，却会让一部分订单同时依赖技术进步和融资环境。英伟达披露，与土地、电力和机房外壳相关的担保安排，最Over the past week, the crypto market experienced a fierce short squeeze, with Bitcoin rapidly rising from around $62,000 to above $77,000, liquidating a large number of leveraged short positions. However, on-chain data shows that some institutions continued to increase their ETH and BTC short positions during the rally, with a scale exceeding $600 million.
On the surface, this looks bearish from institutions; in reality, many of these positions are not directional shorts but typical "basis arbitrage." Institutions hold spot assets while shorting perpetual contracts, hedging price risk and primarily earning funding rates.
As the market strengthened in August, perpetual contract funding rates turned positive again, significantly expanding arbitrage opportunities. For large market makers, as long as the market remains active and leveraged funds keep flowing in, they can continuously earn funding rates without betting on Bitcoin's ultimate price direction.
What truly deserves caution is the completely different trading logic between retail investors and institutions: retail relies on directional bets and leverage to speculate on volatility, while institutions prefer to exploit market structure for stable returns. Understanding this is key to avoiding misinterpreting institutions' "hedged short positions" as a signal of a crash. $BTC $ETH $SNDK #21家金融机构拟推美元稳定币 #BTC高位回落，黄金联动受考验 #加密财库扩张面临指数资格考验 布伦特原油，96.18美元两天涨了4.5%，年内累计涨了51%。 美国10年期国债收益率，4.798% 创2025年1月以来新高 日本10年期国债收益率，3% 1996年10月以来第一次 比特币，76,454美元 24小时跌了2.4% 四件事，发生在同一天$BTC 美伊战火重燃 → 霍尔木兹海峡紧张 → 油价暴力拉升（96美元+） → 通胀预期全面升温 → 全球债市同步崩盘（德英日美债收益率全线飙升）→ 美联储加息概率从30%+ 飙到66% → 无息资产全面承压 → BTC跌破7.7万$CL 地缘冲突爆发，按理说比特币的“避险属性”应该启动对吧？ 结果呢？油价涨了，BTC跌了。 为什么？ 因为市场现在交易的不是“避险” ，是“加息” 。 油价暴涨 → 通胀升温 → 美联储必须加息 → 资金从风险资产撤出 → BTC被当成风险资产一起砸。 比特币的“避险叙事”，在“加息预期”面前，屁都不是 德国10年期国债收益率飙到2011年以来最高 英国10年期国债收益率飙到2008年以来最高 日本10年期国债收益率飙到1996年以来最高 美国财政部长贝森特说“高收益率是经济强劲的体现”，说“我The probability of a Fed rate hike has risen to 68%, whereas yesterday during Ajian's analysis this figure was still 65%, and about 40% just a week ago.

So recently I increasingly like to use what the market fears most to judge macro conditions. Now the market fears no longer revolve around war; war has become a known variable. Ultimately, war ends up affecting the entire liquidity environment. When the above transmission chain fully forms, it means the Fed doesn't even need to be particularly hawkish; the market itself will tighten financial conditions, and that is the most troublesome #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 $CORE CORE staked tokens have been returned to wallets, what does this mean👀
A large number of community users have reported: CORE staked on validator nodes has been returned to individual wallet addresses. Many people's first reaction: Is there a problem with the staking system?
📌The real background of the event
It is not that the staking contract was hacked, nor that user assets were stolen.
Due to a node reward bug, the project team initiated an emergency hard fork fix. To avoid risks of abnormal staking logic during the upgrade, the system triggered a staking unlock and return mechanism, unstaking tokens in batches and returning them to users' original wallets.
Key distinctions:
✅User staking principal is safe; assets have genuinely returned under the control of their own wallet private keys;
⚠️Only the staking status is lifted, which does not mean the bug event is fully resolved; the disposal plan for the excess reward tokens has not yet been announced.
✅Positive aspects
1. Principal returned to personal wallets, no longer delegated to nodes for staking; users have full control over their assets, avoiding unknown risks in the staking contract during the upgrade period.
2. Indirectly confirms the official is advancing preparations for the hard fork; the network is clearing states for the protocol upgrade.
⚠️Real risks to be aware of
1. All staking unlocked, causing a short-term passive increase in market circulation.
A large amount of originally locked and staked CORE becomes transferable and tradable, theoretically increasing potential selling pressure in the secondary market; some users may choose to sell and exit after receiving the tokens.
2. Network staking rate will drop significantly, reducing network security weight in the short term. With reduced staking shares, the block production weight structure changes; network stability needs to be observed after the hard fork completion.
3. Staking return ≠ event closure
The principal is back, but the disposal plan for the excess reward tokens generated by the bug remains unresolved; multiple exchanges still have deposit and withdrawal restrictions. Staking return is only a preparatory step before the hard fork, not the end of the event.
🎯Practical reminders
1. Tokens are back in wallets; keep private keys safe and do not click on unfamiliar authorization links.
2. Do not panic sell blindly just because tokens are back, nor jump in recklessly thinking it’s a big positive.
3. Focus on two signals going forward:
① Official announcement of the total excess token amount and complete disposal plan
② Successful completion of the hard fork and exchanges’ evaluation to resume deposits and withdrawals.
Until the hard fork is implemented and the disposal plan is finalized on-chain, market uncertainty remains; contracts strictly control leverage.
$CORE
⚠️On-chain signal interpretation, not investment advice$BTC has reached 77000, $ETH is at 2400!
The macro side is clearly tightening: after a hawkish statement from Powell, the market quickly priced in September actions.
Short-term US Treasury yields are rising, the dollar is strengthening, and risk assets are generally under pressure. Some institutions have already started pricing in consecutive moves in September and December, with liquidity expectations not as loose as before.
This week, JOLTS, ADP, and Nonfarm Payrolls will be released in sequence. The market expects new jobs to be in the range of 50,000 to 80,000, with the unemployment rate around 4.1%. Any deviation will amplify crypto volatility, especially since BTC and ETH derivatives positions are already very sensitive.
Don't overlook the seasonal factor either; September has historically been a weak window for crypto, compounded by the interest rate path and geopolitical uncertainties! #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 Two sets of observation systems under the macro cycle: ETF watches institutions, gold watches risk aversion, clarifying the positioning of BTC, ETH, and ZEC📊
The current market can be divided into two observation systems: $BTC ETF monitors institutional capital sentiment; gold monitors global risk aversion sentiment, and the two systems jointly influence crypto assets.
BTC: the main battlefield for institutional capital, with ETFs directly determining major support levels; $ETH: combines speculative and ecological attributes, heavily impacted by macro news; $ZEC relies on narrative-driven momentum, prone to short-term bursts in a volatile macro environment but difficult to sustain large trends.
When institutional capital (ETF) and risk aversion sentiment (gold) move in the same direction, the market trend is clearer; when they diverge, the market enters a high-volatility pattern.
For contract trading, betting on a single direction is not recommended. Do not go long just because of ETFs, nor short just because gold rises.
In a volatile market, a range-bound approach is more suitable. Spot trading can patiently wait for resonance signals, while contracts must strictly control leverage to avoid being shaken out.

#财报观察员：戴尔业绩超预期，博通雪花接棒 #21 Financial Institutions Plan to Launch USD Stablecoin
Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, and 21 global financial institutions have officially announced plans to establish a joint venture in the second half of 2026 and launch a bank-backed USD stablecoin in the first half of 2027. Subsequently, they will prioritize expanding stablecoins for G7 currencies such as the Euro, aligning with the GENIUS Act and MiCA regulatory framework.
This marks a major entry of traditional finance into the stablecoin sector, which will impact the current landscape of USDT and USDC. Institutional compliant funding channels on-chain will be broadened, benefiting the long-term compliance of the crypto industry. However, the implementation timeline is long, so in the short term, this is more of a sentiment catalyst.
BTC and ETH markets have no direct drivers from this and will continue to be influenced by macro liquidity conditions.
Stablecoin-related assets are only driven by thematic factors; do not mistake long-term plans for immediate benefits.
Going forward, focus on tracking the implementation progress and the impact on the market shares of USDC and USDT.
This is only a personal market record and does not constitute any investment advice.The biggest risk in September may not be a failure to cut interest rates, but rather simultaneous tightening by the US and Japan.
Current market signals are quite clear, indicating a possible shift toward tighter global monetary policy in September. Data shows about a 60% chance the Federal Reserve will raise rates by 25 basis points in September, and about a 40% chance rates will remain unchanged; for the Bank of Japan, the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike is even higher, around 99%. If market pricing comes true, simultaneous rate hikes by the US and Japan would mean global funding costs will rise further.
The market may then enter a phase of "high volatility and revaluation." US rate hikes will push up risk-free rates, putting pressure on high-valuation tech stocks, growth stocks, and cryptocurrencies; Japanese rate hikes could increase yen funding costs, potentially leading to gradual withdrawal of positions that previously relied on low-interest yen funding. In the short term, capital may favor defensive assets such as the US dollar, cash, and short-term bonds.
Therefore, in the coming period, market focus will shift from "when rates will be cut" to how high and how long rates will remain. If inflation remains strong, both the stock and crypto markets should be wary of further valuation corrections.
