[Key interpretation] Long term investors of BTC finally began to sell, and the long position explosion suggested that the market fell sharply

After the Fed's Interest Rate Decision and Comments from Kevin Walsh, Experts Gathered and Shared Their Latest Insights!

Following the Fed's decision to hold interest rates steady, experts highlight a potential shift towards more independent policymaking within the FOMC, as three members dissented. Market strategists note the slight decline in bond yields and a weaker dollar post-announcement, but caution that a rate hike in September remains possible. Experts like Mark Hackett point to the three dissenting votes as a sign of growing committee independence. While markets initially rallied in relief, the final direction hinges on Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's upcoming press conference. Analysts, including Audrey Childs-Freeman, interpret the dissent as the Fed maintaining a hawkish stance. They suggest the Fed will continue monitoring data, with a summer scenario of high bond yields supporting the dollar still in play. Chris Anstey emphasizes that markets will closely watch the 10-year Treasury yield during Warsh's conference. A continued rise could signal investor fears that the Fed is not acting aggressively enough on inflation, posing a challenge for the Chair. The long-term yield is also viewed as critical for mortgages and economic management. Diane Swonk of KPMG argues a September rate hike is likely, stating that an increase now would have been more appropriate given nearly five years of high inflation. She warns that prolonged high prices risk becoming embedded in the economic system. *This is not investment advice.

DOGE Creator Shares Most Memorable Use Case of His Memecoin

The creator of Dogecoin, Billy Markus (also known as Shibetoshi Nakamoto), recently shared his most memorable use case for the meme cryptocurrency. He recalled that in July 2022, he paid for a ride in the Las Vegas Loop, a tunnel transportation system operated by Elon Musk's The Boring Company, using Dogecoin ($DOGE). Markus emphasized that this practical transaction, moving beyond mere trading, proved the coin's real-world utility and outweighed any other crypto-related activity he had ever done. He shared this story in response to a social media prompt asking about unusual crypto uses over the weekend, noting the purchase wasn't recent but remained his best blockchain memory. In other recent comments, Markus criticized the prolonged crypto bear market as "boring." Currently, DOGE is trading around $0.07066 with a market cap of $12.07 billion. The co-founder is known for his blunt critiques, having previously called most cryptocurrencies "garbage" and mocked industry figures for excessive Bitcoin enthusiasm.

USDT Supply Shrinks by $5.5 Billion While Stablecoin Turnover Hits Record High

The supply of stablecoins has contracted for the first time in years, with total market capitalization falling 4.3% from its May peak to $308.5 billion. Despite this decline, June saw a record $1.83 trillion in adjusted transaction volume for stablecoins, a 60% increase from May. This divergence suggests a shift in usage patterns: less capital is sitting idle, while the remaining supply circulates more rapidly through payment and trading systems. Specifically, the supply of Tether's USDT decreased from approximately $189.54 billion to $184 billion between May 1 and July 29, while Circle's USDC supply fell from $77.27 billion to $72.41 billion. Part of this capital appears to have moved into tokenized Treasury products, a sector whose value has grown to over $16 billion, partly driven by regulations like the 2025 GENIUS Act that prohibit interest payments on payment-focused stablecoins. Transaction velocity is emerging as a key metric, with stablecoins now turning over about six times per month—double the rate from two years ago. USDC, despite having a smaller supply than USDT, processed about $1.21 trillion in adjusted volume in June, leading in settlement activity. While a significant portion of on-chain volume may not represent genuine economic payments, identifiable real-world payments have grown sharply, reaching an estimated $390 billion in 2025. The data indicates stablecoins are evolving from static collateral into active financial infrastructure.
