Tom Lee, Chairman of Bitmine Immersion Technologies, stated that the large-scale intergenerational wealth transfer in the coming years will drive the growth of demand for cryptocurrency assets. According to research data from the US Internal Revenue Service and Fundstrat, it is expected that $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion in wealth will be transferred between generations between 2026 and 2028. Young investors who inherit wealth tend to increase their allocation of risky assets such as cryptocurrencies and stocks. In addition, Wall Street's accelerated adoption of blockchain technology for asset tokenization, the development of artificial intelligence applications, and treasury companies holding long-term encrypted assets are also driving factors for future market growth.

Multiple Wall Street institutions predict that the month on month growth rate of core CPI in the United States will slow down to 0.21% in September. Due to the impact of rising energy prices, the overall CPI month on month growth rate will rise to 0.58%, with a year-on-year growth rate close to 3.7%. The median institutional forecast shows that the overall CPI in the United States rose by 3.64% year-on-year in September, the core CPI rose by 2.40% year-on-year, and the core PCE rose by 0.21% month on month. Deutsche Bank expects core CPI to rise by 0.16% month on month, while Morgan Stanley expects overall CPI to rise by 0.62% month on month.
AI interpretation: The slowing trend of core inflation confirms the structural improvement of price pressure, but the overall inflation rebound driven by energy prices exposes the fragility of the inflation decline process. This differentiation reinforces the necessity for the Federal Reserve to maintain high interest rates to completely eradicate inflationary stickiness. The market's expectations for a short-term shift in monetary policy have been suppressed, and the high interest rate environment will continue for a longer period of time. This data combination forces investors to reassess the complexity of the downward trend in inflation and remain highly vigilant about subsequent tightening policies.
In the past three weeks, investors have withdrawn from US mortgage bond funds, and the scale of fund outflows has become one of the seven most severe since the beginning of 2021. The US mortgage-backed securities index recorded its second worst monthly performance on record in September. US treasury bond bond yields rose to decades' highs, triggering a sell-off in mortgage bonds. Strategist Erica Adelberg stated that the Federal Reserve's tightening of monetary policy and flattening of the yield curve have weakened banks' demand for MBS. As mortgage interest rates rise to their highest level since 2023, it is expected that the supply of MBS will decrease by the end of the year. (Source: Jin Shi)
