- **Tightening macro**: The Fed turns hawkish (multiple rate hikes) and geopolitics (Iran) heats up—near term is a headwind for risk assets; but Arthur Hayes’s “yen printing” thesis and BlackRock’s “BTC decouples from US equities” are two bullish cards. - **On-chain for BTC**: New buyers are close to breaking even, but the batch from the past 3–6 months is still deeply underwater. Yesterday’s ETF net outflow was $145 million (daily data), which isn’t inconsistent with last week’s weekly inflows. A “whale” is caught in a long/short battle around 64,000. - **ETH main thread**: Vitalik’s roadmap gets a big overhaul (quantum security + privacy + AI). Institutional treasuries (BitMine/Sharplink) keep buying—ETH narratives have more “story” than BTC. - **AI / compute**: A $500 billion financing plan, Lambda borrowing money to buy chips, and TVB all building data centers—compute expansion is still accelerating, providing long-term support for storage and the chip/compute chain. However, Morgan Stanley warns that “open-source models may reduce unit compute demand.” - **Regulation**: South Korea tightens controls; the US SEC will review issuance rules on 8/14; Coinbase uses an Abu Dhabi license—regulatory “normalization” is moving on both sides (tighten on one end while licensing on the other).
- What has Trump been busy with over the past 24 hours? (2026-08-09) > 1. If the Democrats win the House, they may investigate Trump—four people familiar with the matter say that Democratic members of the U.S. House are preparing for the possibility of regaining control and are developing a broad investigative strategy aimed at targeting the businesses and financial institutions around Trump. > 2. Freezing the oil tycoon Sagint’s assets— the Trump administration is increasing pressure on Florida oil tycoon and Republican donor Harry Sagin III. The U.S. Treasury has frozen assets of offshore companies under his control that are involved in Venezuela oil production projects. > 3. Team audio removed after a takedown by Taylor Swift—successful copyright claims resulted in the audio being muted and removed from the relevant videos. > 4. Backlash after Brunch’s election as attorney general—Senate Minority Leader Schumer said that if someone wants to eliminate corruption, they can’t let the president’s personal lawyer serve as attorney general.
Tonight’s non-farm payrolls are the biggest variable this week (expected 80K / unemployment rate 4.2%), but what’s even more noteworthy is that Trump suddenly softened—going from “don’t blame the White House” to “it’s not your fault, it’s the politicized council.” Pressure from hawks has also been split. Meanwhile, Chengchen’s VPD chips have passed Samsung’s validation; clients of Winstar have already seen demand for 2027–2028. Yesterday, South Korea’s memory market plunged; today, domestic components have made a breakthrough, further widening the divergence. The central bank is still stockpiling gold (China has bought for 21 straight months). Oil prices are down 2%, but winter energy risks haven’t disappeared.
Many people in the crypto world fantasize about going the “C-route,” getting rich with high compounding returns using a very small amount of capital. In reality, you have to endure a long period of time without making money; most people can’t last, and it’s easy to get liquidated and lose everything.
