A teoria de proteção contra a inflação do Bitcoin testada à medida que o aumento das taxas de juros traz turbulência aos mercados

The United States economy has been facing turbulent times lately, with the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) inflation index rising by a significant 3.5% over the past 12 months. Even when excluding the volatile food and energy sectors, its evident that the efforts made by the U.S. Federal Reserve to curb inflation have fallen short of their 2% target rate.  U.S. Treasurys have lost a staggering $1.5 trillion in value, primarily due to these rate hikes. This has led investors to question whether Bitcoin (BTC) and risk-on assets, including the stock market, will succumb to heightened interest rates and a monetary policy aimed at cooling economic growth.  As the U.S. Treasury keeps flooding the market with debt, theres a real risk that rates could climb even higher, exacerbating the losses to fixed-income investors. An additional $8 trillion in government debt is expected to mature in the next 12 months, further contributing to financial instability.  As Daniel Porto, the head of Deaglo London, pointed out in remarks to Reuters:  “(The Fed) are going to play a game where inflation is going to lead, but the real question is can we sustain this course without doing a lot of damage?”  Portos comments resonate with a growing concern

Valkyrie Investment lançará ETF Ethereum Futures; Aumento de preço da ETH

The broader cryptocurrency space is looking for crypto-based exchange-traded funds (ETF), one of the popular investment firms in traditional finance. Though there are several such investment vehicles that persist, looking at the scale of the global crypto market, companies believe more opportunities can be filled for more. One such effort brought fruitful results for Valkyrie Investment when the fund manager got approval for the first Ethereum (ETH) futures ETF.  Reuters reported that Valkyrie Funds LLC was already offering Bitcoin (BTC) futures ETFs to its customers.

The product will be offered from Monday after renaming it as Valkyrie Bitcoin and Ethereum Strategy ETF, said Steven McClurg, chief investment officer at the firm.

Suporte do Circle para Bitcoin Exchange Binance!

As you may remember, the SEC filed a lawsuit against Binance and Coinbase last June for violating securities law.  In this case, the SEC accuses Binance of facilitating trading in cryptocurrencies such as Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and BUSD. Claiming that some cryptocurrencies are securities, the SEC argues that these cryptocurrencies are unregistered securities because they are not registered with the SEC.  According to Coindesk, while the Binance-SEC case is still ongoing, support came to Binance from stablecoin issuer Circle.  This intervention application of Circle, which was involved in the Binance-SEC case as an ‘amicus curiae’ (a person who assists the court by providing information and expertise on the subject of the case, but is not a party to the case), was made by Chief Legal Officer Heath Tarbert, the former president of CTFC. Circle is supported by Heath Tarbert.  In the application, Circle claims that stablecoin buyers do not expect a profit, so stablecoins are not an investment contract.  At this point, USDC issuer Circle intervened in the SECs lawsuit against Binance, arguing that securities laws should not apply to stablecoins.  Payment stablecoins by themselves do not have the basic characteristics of an investment contract, which means they are outside the jurisdiction of the SEC.  Decades
