1. 【Federal Reserve Keeps Interest Rates Unchanged, Powell Releases Hawkish Signals】(Importance: 40%)

Content: The Federal Reserve maintains the benchmark interest rate in the range of 4.25% to 4.5%, and the dot plot shows that the expectation for interest rate cuts in 2025 has shrunk to 25 basis points. Powell emphasized the strength of the labor market, stating that there is 'no rush to cut rates' and more data is needed to confirm the decline in inflation.

Analysis: CME interest rate futures show that the probability of a rate cut in September has plummeted to 38%, while the US dollar index rebounded to 98.5, suppressing risk assets. The funding rate for Bitcoin perpetual contracts fell to -0.03%, but ETF funds saw an inflow of $412 million in a single day (BlackRock's IBIT accounted for 65%), creating a divergence.

2. 【US Department of Justice Seizes $225 Million in Crypto Assets to Combat Money Laundering】(Importance: 25%)

Content: The Department of Justice confiscated crypto assets related to fraud and money laundering, involving hundreds of thousands of on-chain transactions, using blockchain analysis to identify anonymous addresses.

Analysis: This move has heightened market concerns over regulatory risks, triggering a short-term sell-off (over $1.5 billion in liquidations in a single day). However, on-chain data shows that whales are accumulating around $103,300, and El Salvador continues to increase its holdings of 8 BTC, creating a supporting effect.

3. 【White House Advisor Claims Crypto Bill is Close to Passage, Compliant Stablecoins May Become Demand Engine for USD】(Importance: 20%)

Content: A White House advisor revealed that the crypto bill is close to being legislated, and a Canaccord report indicates that the 'GENIUS Act' will promote compliant stablecoins to become the 'internet cash layer', strengthening demand for US Treasuries and the process of dollarization.

Analysis: If the bill passes, the issuance of compliant stablecoins like USDC may increase by 300%, but it may squeeze Bitcoin liquidity (USDT's market share has dropped to 58%). Short-term policy benefits are unlikely to offset market risk aversion, and attention should be paid to how the bill's details affect capital flows.

4. 【Japanese Companies and Norwegian Institutions Increase BTC Holdings Against the Trend】(Importance: 10%)

Content: Japanese fashion brand ANAP increased its holdings by 31 BTC (total holdings of 184 BTC), and Norwegian K33 plans to raise 85 million Swedish Krona to purchase 1,000 BTC, strengthening their balance sheets.

Analysis: Corporate buying provides localized support for the market, but the small scale (approximately $110 million in total) is unlikely to reverse the trend. More institutions should be observed to see if they follow the 'buying the dip' strategy.
