Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes has proposed a provocative macro thesis: the U.S. Federal Reserve may soon be compelled to intervene directly in currency markets to support the Japanese yen and government bonds. In a detailed essay, Hayes argues this would constitute a form of covert money printing, with the newly created liquidity flowing directly into risk assets like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, mechanically lifting their prices in fiat terms.

The Ethereum network has witnessed a historic $7 billion weekly contraction in stablecoin supply, plunging from $162 billion to $155 billion. This marks the first sharp weekly decline in ERC-20 stablecoins during the current market cycle, signaling a significant thinning of liquidity across cryptocurrency markets as capital shifts away and prices correct. Analysts warn this pattern mirrors behavior seen before previous downturns, raising a bearish flag for digital asset markets.

Bitcoin shattered the $96,000 barrier this week, ending a prolonged consolidation phase in a rally fueled by two powerful catalysts: a massive resurgence of institutional capital into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs and a U.S. inflation report that eased fears of aggressive Federal Reserve policy. The breakout triggered a cascade of short liquidations, adding explosive momentum to the upside and lifting the total cryptocurrency market capitalization above $3.3 trillion, signaling a broad renewal of risk appetite.

Bitcoin’s price action has stalled near the $90,000 mark, failing to gather the momentum needed for a push toward six figures. This consolidation has prompted prominent crypto strategists, including Doctor Profit, to issue stark warnings of a potential decline to the $70,000 zone. The caution is amplified by a massive, sudden liquidity injection from the U.S. Federal Reserve, viewed as a critical red flag for all risk assets, setting the stage for an intensified battle over Bitcoin’s next major directional move.

Bitcoin reversed its weekend surge above $90,000, trading near $86,800 as rising crude oil prices and falling gold created a macro environment that could tighten financial conditions. The move highlights how cryptocurrency markets are increasingly influenced by traditional asset movements and inflation expectations. Traders now watch upcoming U.S. economic data and Federal Reserve minutes for the next directional catalyst.

The U.S. Federal Reserve has reversed its 2023 guidance that restricted banks from engaging in cryptocurrency activities, marking a significant policy shift that creates a formal pathway for both insured and uninsured banks to pursue crypto-related services under Fed supervision. This move signals a regulatory reassessment as digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum increasingly intersect with traditional banking infrastructure, potentially lowering operational frictions and expanding institutional participation in digital asset markets.

Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded their largest daily net outflows in roughly two weeks on Monday, shedding a combined $582.4 million as institutional investors pared exposure. The significant pullback, which saw Bitcoin ETFs lose $357.6 million and Ethereum ETFs nearly $225 million in a single day, appears driven by broader macro de-risking amid volatility in U.S. equities and uncertainty over global monetary policy, rather than crypto-specific stress, according to market analysis.

Zcash (ZEC), the privacy-focused cryptocurrency, has surged more than 9% this week to trade around $455, dramatically outperforming a broader market moving sideways despite optimism from the U.S. Federal Reserve’s latest signals. The rally is fueled by a foundational proposal to shift to dynamic transaction fees and significant on-chain accumulation by large holders, tightening supply just as ZEC approaches a critical historical resistance zone that will determine its next major price move.

In a move that has sent ripples through the cryptocurrency markets, SpaceX and BlackRock transferred a combined $296 million in Bitcoin to Coinbase Prime just hours before the U.S. Federal Reserve announced a 25-basis-point rate cut. The timing of these substantial transfers, revealed by on-chain trackers at Lookonchain, has ignited a fierce debate among traders and analysts. While some interpret the moves as a potential signal for an impending sell-off, others suggest they may represent routine custody adjustments or strategic positioning ahead of a major monetary policy decision. The transfers occurred against a backdrop of heightened volatility for Bitcoin and intense speculation regarding SpaceX’s corporate future, creating a perfect storm of uncertainty for market participants.
