  • Putin: Russia "supports" Harris, calls her smile "contagious"

    According to foreign media such as TASS and Russia's Sputnik News, Jinse Finance reported that on the afternoon of September 5th local time, Russian President Putin said at the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum 2024 that Russia will "support" the US Democratic Party presidential candidate and vice president Harris as recommended by the US President Biden in the upcoming US presidential election. When asked how he viewed the 2024 US election, Putin said it was the choice of the American people. The new US president will be elected by the American people, and Russia will respect the choice of the American people. Putin also said that just as Biden suggested his supporters to support Harris, "we will do the same, we will support her." The report said that Putin also joked that Harris' laughter is "expressive and infectious," which shows that "she is doing everything well." He added that this may mean that she will avoid further sanctions against Russia.

  • Federal Reserve Beige Book: Respondents generally expect economic activity to remain stable or improve

    The Federal Reserve's Beige Book pointed out that economic activity in three regions has slightly increased, while the number of regions reporting flat or declining economic activity has increased from five in the previous quarter to nine in this quarter. Overall employment levels remain stable, although some reports indicate that companies are only filling necessary positions, reducing working hours and shifts, or reducing overall employment levels through natural attrition. However, reports of layoffs are still rare. Generally speaking, wage growth is moderate, and the growth rate of labor input costs and sales prices ranges from slight to moderate. Consumer spending has declined in most regions, while in the previous reporting period, consumer spending remained stable overall.

  • Ripple CEO: Stablecoin RLUSD will be launched in the coming weeks

    Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said during a fireside chat at the Korea Blockchain Week that the company will launch its new stablecoin in "weeks, not months". Garlinghouse also criticized the attitude of Gary Gensler, chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, towards cryptocurrencies, calling OpenSea's experience "regrettable". The CEO of Ripple said he is more "optimistic" about the future of cryptocurrencies in the next five years than ever before.

  • Outlier Ventures: BTC’s strong performance after the 2020 halving is purely coincidental, and the four-year cycle driven by Bitcoin halving is no longer valid

    Jasper De Maere, a researcher at Outlier Ventures, stated that the 2024 halving will be the 5th period of Bitcoin halving, and the price of BTC performed the worst within 125 days after the halving occurred. The price dropped by -8% compared to the halving day, while the average increase in the previous periods was +22%. We believe that the 2016 halving was the last time that the halving had a significant fundamental impact on the BTC price trend. Since then, the BTC block reward scale for miners has become insignificant in the increasingly mature and diverse cryptocurrency market. The strong performance of BTC and the cryptocurrency market after the 2020 halving was purely coincidental, as the halving occurred during a period of unprecedented capital injection after the COVID-19 pandemic, with the US M2 money supply alone increasing by 25.3% that year. Some people believe that the 4-year cycle driven by the halving will still hold in 2024, but the approval of the BTC ETF in January 2024 will drive demand and cause BTC to rise strongly before the halving. This view is incorrect. The approval of the BTC ETF is a demand-driven catalyst, while the halving is a supply-driven catalyst, so they are not mutually exclusive. Within 125 days after the halving, the 5th period (2024) is the worst performing period since the halving and the only period where the BTC price has dropped compared to the halving day.

  • ZachXBT: Suspected insiders made $3.8 million in profits on RTR

    On August 10th, Chain Detective ZachXBT posted on social media that 4 addresses made a profit of $3.8 million in the RTR sell-off, with the 9G1ELG and GHoW2 addresses belonging to the same person and receiving 500 SOL in new funds within minutes after the TGE. Previously, it was reported that Restore The Republic (RTR) had its TGE on the evening of August 8th, with rumors circulating in the community that it was related to a new project by the Trump family. The RTR token reached a high of $0.156 on August 9th at midnight. Afterwards, Eric Trump, the current Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization and son of Donald Trump, warned on social media to "be careful of false tokens" and that the only official Trump project has yet to be announced and will be announced on Twitter first. After the statement was released, RTR quickly dropped by about 95%, with a trading volume of $164 million within just 15 hours of its creation.

  • The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has released a new draft of the crypto tax form, which no longer requires filling in wallet addresses and transaction IDs

    The US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) released an updated draft version of tax form 1099-DA for cryptocurrency brokers and investors to report certain transaction income. The public has 30 days to provide feedback to the IRS on this version. Starting in 2026, cryptocurrency investors who use brokers (currently mainly Coinbase and Kraken, among others) will receive 1099-DAs from these brokers to report certain cryptocurrency sales and trades as taxable events to the IRS. IRS officials say this form will "bring more convenience and clarity" to users who pay US cryptocurrency taxes.

  • Santiment: This year's US election-related news may drive cryptocurrency speculation

    Santiment, a blockchain and off-chain data intelligence platform, posted on X platform that an attack on Donald Trump occurred about 8 hours ago, and the cryptocurrency market immediately reacted, with BTC rebounding to $60,300, hitting a new high in nearly 10 days. Considering the seriousness of any attempt to attack public figures (or non-public figures) and the distinctly different political positions of cryptocurrencies, it is undeniable that there has been a clear bullish bias around the 2024 US presidential candidate. With the approaching autumn US election and Trump's recent remarks in support of cryptocurrencies, the cryptocurrency community generally holds an optimistic attitude towards news that supports Trump. Undoubtedly, news of avoiding assassination is seen as supporting Trump, so the cryptocurrency market has shown a positive response. It should be noted that at least for the remaining time in 2024, any noteworthy US election news will continue to trigger such market reactions, especially in a field like cryptocurrencies that is always driven by speculation.
