The 'Vague Agreement' between the US and UK Ignites the Cryptocurrency Market, Trump Shouts 'Buy Stocks Now' as Bitcoin Surges Past $100,000 and Gold Reaches $3,300
After Trump announced the trade agreement with the UK, expectations for easing trade tensions drove Bitcoin to break the $100,000 mark for the first time since February, surging over 7% in the early hours of Friday, reaching $104,000 per coin; Ethereum soared over 20% during the day, breaking $2,180 per coin.
The dollar's rally expanded, weakening the safe-haven demand created by fears of a global trade war, causing gold to decline. Spot gold briefly fell below the 3300 mark overnight, with a drop of nearly 2%. Following Trump's urging for investors to 'go out and buy stocks now,' the US stock market surged to intraday highs.

The inflation in the United States in July was largely in line with expectations, preparing the Federal Reserve for a possible interest rate cut at the upcoming mid-September meeting.
According to a report released by the U.S. government on Wednesday morning, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 0.2% in July. This is higher than the decrease of 0.1% in June but aligns with the expected 0.2%. On an annual basis, the CPI increased by 2.9%, lower than the expected 3% and June's 3%.
Core CPI (excluding food and energy costs) rose by 0.2% in July, as expected, compared to 0.1% in June. On an annual basis, the core CPI was 3.2%, consistent with the expected 3.2% and June's 3.3%.
The price of Bitcoin (BTC) continued to rise modestly to $61,200 after the release of this report that was largely in line with expectations.
Before the data release earlier today, discussions about whether the Federal Reserve would lower its benchmark federal funds rate range at the next meeting had concluded: there is currently no indication that it will remain at the current range of 5.25%-5.50%, according to data from CME FedWatch, which calculates odds based on short-term interest rate market positions. In fact, the index shows a 52.5% chance of a 50 basis point cut, and only a 47.5% chance of a 25 basis point cut.
This report is unlikely to have a significant impact on these calculations. Upcoming U.S. macroeconomic data will include initial jobless claims and retail sales reports tomorrow. Before the end of August, the Federal Reserve will hold the Jackson Hole Summit, where previous Federal Reserve chairs have sometimes announced or proposed significant policy changes.

Medical data firm OneMedNet latest to pursue Bitcoin reserve strategy after funding round
OneMedNet (ONMD) raised $4.6 million in a private placement late last month and used $1.8 million of that to buy Bitcoin (BTC), according to a press release.
Among the investors was Off The Chain Capital, a crypto investment fund with ties to Bloq Chairman Matthew Roszak and Fortress founder Rob Kauffman, which bought a combination of shares and warrants in ONMD.
Shares of OneMedNet have fallen more than 90% since going public via a SPAC deal late last year.
“This is an opportunity that, if done right, can outperform Bitcoin,” Brian Dixon, CEO of Off The Chain Capital, told CoinDesk. “From our perspective as investors, we’re looking for these discount or value opportunities, and we’re trying very hard to outperform Bitcoin.”
Dixon believes it’s critical for public companies to reinvest some of their cash into Bitcoin, rather than real estate, stocks or bonds, to add the most shareholder value.
“I think more and more public companies are going to realize that if you don’t have Bitcoin on your balance sheet, then you’re not being a wise fiduciary when it comes to allocating that portion of your reserve strategy,” he said.
On this point, Off the Chain and OneMedNet make similar arguments to Michael Saylor, whose stock performance has outperformed Bitcoin’s returns since the company added the cryptocurrency to its balance sheet starting in August 2020. U.S.-listed Semler Scientific and Japan’s Metaplanet are among other public companies that are pursuing similar strategies.

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) saw a rebound earlier on Wednesday, followed by a sharp decline, as the U.S. stock market gave up a significant portion of its early gains and turned negative during afternoon trading.
Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at $54,800, down nearly 4% from 24 hours ago and down more than 6% from $57,600 a few hours earlier. Ethereum (ETH) performed worse, currently priced at $2,322, down 7.1% over the past day, bringing its ratio to Bitcoin down to the lowest level in over three years. The broader CoinDesk 20 index fell by 2.5%.
Trading had a strong start on Wednesday after Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Shinichi Uchida stated that the central bank would not raise borrowing costs when the market is unstable. This dovish remark led to a decline in the yen, and significant gains in the Japanese stock market and U.S. index futures. Although the Nikkei index managed to close up 1.2% and U.S. stocks opened with an increase of about 1.5%, this optimism gradually faded throughout the day.
About 90 minutes before trading ended, the Nasdaq index was down 0.8%, and the S&P 500 index was down 0.6%.
In an interview with CNBC on Wednesday, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon expressed uncertainty about whether the Federal Reserve could successfully raise inflation to its 2% target. His concerns about inflation included deficit spending, “re-militarization,” and the transition to a green economy. Regarding the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, Dimon stated that they are likely to happen, but he does not expect them to have a significant impact.

Semler Scientific studied MicroStrategy's success before adopting a Bitcoin strategy.
More than two years before the birth of Bitcoin, Dr. Herbert Semler served as a flight surgeon during the Korean War and later led cardiology at a hospital in Portland; he co-founded Semler Scientific (SMLR) in 2007.
Seventeen years later, the medical device manufacturer has converted most of its cash reserves into Bitcoin and plans to purchase more.
"He was very excited at the time," said company chairman Eric Semler, reflecting on his father's reaction to this new investment strategy. Eric Semler told CoinDesk that Herbert's father and Eric's grandfather, Harry Semler, believed that gold was a good investment in his day, so he would be happy to see the company invest in the 'new gold.'
