What BTC lacks now is not positive news, but incremental buying
BTC has recently appeared stable around $63k, but the market is actually very “cold”: trading volume has clearly contracted, and volatility has also fallen to multi-month lows. On the surface, it is not falling, but beneath that, it looks more like neither bulls nor bears are willing to take the initiative.
ETF data is even more direct. BTC spot ETFs saw consecutive inflows in early August, but have weakened again recently: from August 12 to 14, they recorded net outflows of $61.1 million, $131.1 million, and $56.2 million, respec

How can merchants be persuaded to accept Crypto?
But what @RiverdotInc has recently done in Brazil makes me feel that this question may have been wrong from the start.
On August 14, River announced that satUSD can now be used directly to scan PIX QR codes.
Users pay in satUSD, while merchants ultimately receive BRL.
Settlement is completed through @yodlpay.
Most importantly, merchants do not need to change their existing payment methods at all.
That is what I find most interesting.
Crypto payments that can truly achieve mass adoption may not involve signs everywhere saying “USDT

“S&P 500 Earnings Blowout, but 8,000 Points Won’t Come for Free”
The S&P 500 closed at 7,785.76 points last week, rising for a third consecutive week and now less than 3% away from 8,000. What is truly supporting this rally is not just expectations for rate cuts, but the fact that corporate earnings have genuinely been very strong.
FactSet data shows that S&P 500 earnings growth in the second quarter has exceeded 50%, the highest level since 2021, with about 86% of companies beating earnings expectations. However, this also needs to be viewed clearly: investment gains at companies such as Alph

“S&P 500 Earnings Blow Out, but 8,000 Isn’t a Free Handout”
The S&P 500 closed at 7,785.76 points last week, rising for a third consecutive week and coming within less than 3% of 8,000. What is truly supporting this rally is not just expectations for interest-rate cuts, but the fact that corporate earnings have been genuinely strong.

The AI valuation race has moved from “telling stories” to “competing on revenue”
The competition between OpenAI and Anthropic is expanding from model capabilities all the way to the capital markets.
The latest news indicates that OpenAI’s annualized revenue could surpass $40 billion, nearly doubling from the end of 2025, with the main increases coming from AI coding tools, subscriptions, and commercial businesses. However, it is important to note that this is an annualized figure projected based on the current revenue run rate, and does not mean that the full-year revenue has already been real

What truly stimulated the market on SanDisk’s Investor Day was not just AI storage demand, but management directly providing a long-term model for FY2028—FY2030: annual revenue growth remaining in the mid-to-high double digits, non-GAAP gross margin of around 80%, operating margin of around 75%, and an adjusted free cash flow margin of around 50%. After completing business investments, 100% of excess cash is planned to be returned to shareholders. After the announcement, SNDK shares rose more than 15% in a single day.

CPI Cools, but the Market Has Yet to Get a “Rate-Cut Script”
U.S. July inflation data came in steady: CPI rose 0.1% month-on-month, while year-on-year growth fell from 3.5% to 3.4%; core CPI rose 0.2% month-on-month, while year-on-year growth declined from 2.6% to 2.5%, all in line with market expectations.
But one point in the image needs correcting: the market is not currently discussing a “September rate cut,” but whether the Fed will continue raising rates. After the CPI release, expectations for a September rate hike cooled notably, with market pricing at around 40%; keeping the interest

CPI Cools, but the Market Still Hasn't Gotten the “Rate-Cut Script”
U.S. July inflation data came in steady: CPI rose 0.1% month-on-month, while year-on-year growth fell from 3.5% to 3.4%; core CPI rose 0.2% month-on-month, while year-on-year growth declined from 2.6% to 2.5%, all in line with market expectations.

Tonight’s CPI report could directly determine whether expectations for a September rate hike can hold.
The latest nonfarm payrolls report had already cooled noticeably. Employment unexpectedly declined in July, while the May and June figures were also revised sharply lower. Market expectations for a September rate hike had already begun to weaken. What now needs to be confirmed is whether inflation has started to pick up again.
At present, the market is broadly focused on two scenarios:
If both headline CPI and core CPI continue to cool, the combination of “weaker employment + falling inflatio

The DeFi yield market may be returning to the simplest question: Where exactly does the money come from?
Looking at @protocol_fx's updates over the past two days, one line caught my attention:
No points. No season. No airdrop.
No points, no Season, and no future potential airdrops to attract TVL—just putting fxSAVE's yield on display.
fxSAVE currently has more than $50 million in funds, with its APY recently fluctuating around 6%–7%.
I think what is truly worth watching is not the APY itself, but the logic behind it.
Over the past two years, many of DeFi's “high yields” were essentially projec

ETF funds are flowing back in—who will take the baton in the next phase of the crypto market?
Markets can be quite interesting sometimes.
While retail investors are still wondering whether the rally is over, institutional capital has already begun expressing its stance through concrete actions.
According to the latest data, fund flows into U.S. spot BTC ETFs have rebounded significantly, with net inflows recorded on multiple consecutive trading days in early August. In just a few days, cumulative inflows returned to relatively high levels. Meanwhile, ETH ETFs have also continued to see inflows

Monkey Descends the Mountain @amniaskyle不服就干, an epic is not meant to be remembered—it is meant to be surpassed. Back then, DOGE awakened retail investors; today, MONKEY is reshaping consensus. We don’t make empty promises; we only claim the mountaintops. Nationwide ground-promotion communities have assembled, charging hard online and sweeping through offline channels. Let everyone in front of a screen see this monkey. Monkey is the masses, and the masses are the wave.

The next wave of growth for f(x) may not come from retail investors
Many people researching @protocol_fx focus on fxSAVE's APY, fxUSD, or various leveraged products.
But I recently noticed a more important development: f(x) has begun actively entering the field of vision of DAO Treasuries.
In June this year, the f(x) team submitted an RFC on the ENS DAO governance forum, discussing the introduction of fxUSD + fxSAVE into ENS Treasury's stablecoin allocation. The core selling points were also straightforward: fully onchain, non-custodial, with no freezing function, while yield comes from protoc
