Donald Trump expressed a desire to see interest rates lowered, but noted that the decision is made not only by Kevin Warsh, but by the entire Federal Reserve Board.
Trump emphasized that the Fed’s board remains “very politicized,” and the decision does not depend on one person.
He added that in the past, good economic data often led to rate cuts, but now, on the contrary, it strengthens expectations of a tight monetary policy.
“I want to get back to those times,” Trump said. $TRUMP $WLFI $USD1

🫧 Arthur Hayes: the AI bubble is bound to burst, but that’s exactly what will become the driver of Bitcoin’s growth to $1 million.
Main idea of the essay:
The AI bubble won’t burst because artificial intelligence stops being in demand, but because the world will build too many data centers using borrowed money.
When this credit pyramid begins to collapse, the authorities will again be forced to print money to save the economy. This new wave of liquidity, in Arthur Hayes’ view, will become the main driver of the next large-scale surge in Bitcoin. $BTC $TAO

The likelihood of the key crypto bill, the CLARITY Act, being adopted in the US has sharply fallen—to 27%, according to updated estimates. The reason was a wave of resignations by officials responsible for digital policy.
Tyler Williams, the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s chief adviser on blockchain and digital assets, left his post on July 31 and returned to the private sector. This is already the fourth major resignation in crypto regulation at the federal level: previously, representatives from the White House, the SEC, and the Senate had stepped down from their positions.
The departure of key architects of crypto policy creates an institutional vacuum at a time when Congress is considering the most important legislation for the industry. $ETH $SOL $USDC
