The CoinDesk 20 (CD20) and bitcoin are both down, with the CD20 index dropping 7% and bitcoin trading 5% lower. The market is being impacted by uncertainty over interest rates, with expectations for a Fed rate cut in September. The majority of CD20 constituents are experiencing bigger losses than bitcoin, with Ether, Solana, and XRP all down. There has been $175 million in long liquidations over the past 24 hours, and BTC has seen a 13% drop in the last week. The Fed is expected to cut rates in September due to weaker than expected private sector job growth. Citi Research predicts eight rate cuts starting in September 2024, while Polymarket bettors predict 1-2 rate cuts by the end of the year. The European Union's decision to impose steep tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and the potential for a hung parliament in France are also impacting market sentiment.

JuCoin CEO： UX design in the encryption industry needs to pay attention to user emotional details to enhance user experience

Cointime News: JuCoin CEO Sammi Li delivered a keynote speech at the TOKEN2049 conference, analyzing the current challenges in user experience (UX) design in the cryptocurrency industry. Sammi Li believes that the existing encryption product experience fails to effectively empathize with users, often leading to usage anxiety, which hinders the large-scale adoption of Web3. Combining her rich experience in the luxury goods industry, she emphasizes that building trust relies on paying attention to user emotions and critical moments of interaction, and constructing it through details rather than simply technical presentations. JuCoin is applying these user centered design principles to its Web3 ecosystem construction, aiming to lower user barriers and enhance user experience by optimizing JuChain and related product designs. It calls on the encryption industry to think together and place user experience at a more core position.
