I’m watching the Fed this week less for the 25bp headline and more for what comes AFTER it.
August core CPI rose 0.3% MoM, headline CPI hit 3.4% YoY, and markets are now pricing roughly a 92% chance of a 25bp hike. The bigger problem? The 10Y Treasury yield has pushed above 5%.
So if the Fed hikes to 3.75–4.00%, I don’t think the first reaction tells the whole story.
BTC could face volatility as liquidity tightens, but if traders interpret the hike as a “one-off” rather than the beginning of another cycle, the selloff could fade quickly.
Tech stocks have a tougher setup because higher yields increase the discount rate on future growth. Gold is also feeling pressure as higher yields and a stronger dollar raise the opportunity cost of holding a non-yielding asset. Gold was already down 0.4% today amid rising hike expectations.
My trade plan: I’d rather wait for the Fed statement and Powell’s guidance than blindly trade the 25bp itself. The real signal is whether September is the END of tightening—or the beginning of something bigger.
That distinction could decide the next move in BTC, tech and gold.
私が特に印象的だったのは、システム全体が、単一の企業のコールドストレージを信頼するというよりも、回転する許可のない(permissionless)署名者セットの中に“誠実な過半数”がいるという前提に大きく依存している点です。Threshold自身の数字では、約5,800 BTCが担保されており、TVLは$424 million。これは集中型カストディアンが保有するラップドBTCの巨人たちに比べれば小さな規模です。このギャップが単にプロダクトの品質の問題だとは思えません。「単一障害点がない(no single point of failure)」という性質が、流動性の割引として市場価格に反映されるかどうか、そこが問題なのではないでしょうか。
