Important news
Economic news
1. At the Jackson Hole meeting on Friday, Powell said: The time has come for the Fed to adjust its monetary policy, and it does not seek further cooling of the labor market. The cooling of the U.S. labor market is "obvious", and it is no longer overheated, and the confidence in the return of inflation to 2% has increased.
2. The market interpreted it as "Powell's strongest signal of rate cuts so far", saying that he intends to take action to avoid further weakness in the US labor market.
3. The US dollar plummeted and fell below 101, falling to 100.6 points, and the US dollar index is expected to fall for the fourth consecutive week, the longest consecutive decline since April 2023.
4. Matrixport Research Report, as gold, oil, US bonds and the US dollar are all close to support levels, a turning point may appear, and the US macroeconomy will undergo major changes, but its impact will take several months to fully manifest. When US bond yields rise and gold prices rebound at the same time, it usually means that the economy is in a unique and somewhat contradictory environment, and BTC is likely to become the main beneficiary asset.
5. After Powell's speech, the interest rate market increased its bets on the Fed's interest rate cuts. The probability of a 50 basis point rate cut in September has increased, and the Fed is expected to cut interest rates by nearly 100 basis points before the end of the year.
6. Nick Timiraos, the "Federal Reserve mouthpiece", said that this speech showed that Powell's shift to monetary policy has been completed and Powell has shown a comprehensive dovish stance.
7. Strategist Kathy Jones said the signal is very clear, that is, the Federal Reserve is ready to cut interest rates, and concerns about the state of the labor market now outweigh inflation risks.
8. Strategist Elias Haddad said that with the Federal Reserve about to ease monetary policy and the US economic growth is still quite strong, this is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the stock market to rise, and the positive trend of the stock market is expected to continue until next week, or at least until the next employment data is seen.
9. The minutes of the Federal Reserve meeting showed that "the vast majority of members" believed that a rate cut in September might be appropriate, and easing monetary policy too late or too little might excessively weaken economic activity or employment.
10. The US dollar index fell below 101 to 100.92 points, and Capital Economics expects the US dollar index DXY to fall to 98 by the end of 2025.
Crypto Ecological News
1. Company X (formerly known as Twitter) disclosed its shareholder list, revealing that when Elon Musk acquired the platform for $44 billion in 2022, multiple companies related to cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence participated in the investment.
2. Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat, said in an interview with CNBC that the possibility of Trump's election in November may boost asset prices, including BTC, and that cyclical stocks, small-cap stocks and BTC will perform better. These are obvious policy differences.
3. Anthony Scaramucci, managing partner of SkyBridge Capital, said he was optimistic about the future of BTC, and that "oversupply" seemed to be coming to an end. He interpreted it as a positive sign for price trends, believing that BTC was still in its early stages and was a technology rather than a means of storing value.
4. Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon said the state plans to issue a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar in 2025, and the state is currently working to support stablecoins through US Treasury bonds and repurchase agreements.

Mid-term exploration
• Liquidity supply
• Network sentiment positivity
• USDC purchasing power comprehensive score
• Realized market value of each age group

Due to the lack of overall volume, the speed may also slow down.
(Figure below Network sentiment positivity)
Network sentiment is still rising, and the current trend state may not weaken.
The heat in the market may not decrease. Under the current state, the rest time may be slightly accelerated.
(USDC Purchasing Power Comprehensive Score in the Figure Below)

Summary of this week:
