BlockBeats message, August 22, according to Fox News, U.S. President Trump earlier said that any governor or local government official should welcome the construction of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers.

Trump said: “This will create a large number of construction industry jobs. We are building the world’s largest factories. I can say that if I were the mayor of a city, or a governor of a state, and I had the opportunity to get a large AI factory or data center to be built, I would absolutely want it to happen because it can create a large number of jobs, and the funding and tax revenue it brings are very substantial.”

BlockBeats message. On August 22, Goldman Sachs analysts said in a report that demand for bullish gold options has surged, increasing the risk of sharp price volatility.

In the report, analysts including Lina Thomas wrote that the rise in gold bullish options trading volume creates a "bidirectional volatility price amplification mechanism" for gold prices. "Therefore, we still believe that our forecast for the gold price to reach $4,900 per ounce by the end of 2026 faces significant upside risk, but the gold price rally also entails greater bidirectional volatility."

BlockBeats message, August 21. A well-known trader, Killa, posted an update on his latest view of the market: “I still remain optimistic about the future, but I’m very skeptical that Bitcoin can break through $100,000 this year. I expect it to stay in a range-bound, choppy market. My plan remains unchanged. After the first wave of rallies, before the next move, we will rebuild our positions—similar to 2022.”

As a quantitative trader focused on BTC, Killa had predicted the peak of this bull cycle in May 2025. On the X platform, he has more than 200,000 followers. In mid-April, he shorted Bitcoin at $74,688, and during the market’s broad selloff on June 5, he switched to going long.
