BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes stated in his latest article that the US government's provision of trillions of dollars in liquidity tools to large banks (TBTFs) through stablecoin policies is not a manifestation of DeFi or financial freedom, but rather a "disguised debt monetization" of innovation. He believes that the stable currency will be used to buy treasury bond to maintain the rise of the stock market, fill the fiscal deficit, and weaken the competitiveness of financial technology companies (such as Circle). Hayes pointed out that instead of waiting for Federal Reserve Chairman Powell to announce "unlimited quantitative easing," investors should consider going long on Bitcoin and JPMorgan instead of focusing on companies like Circle. He stressed that the "trojan horse" of stable currency has infiltrated the market, whose goal is to maintain the foam of stock market, finance the fiscal deficit and appease elderly investors by purchasing treasury bond. He called on investors to seize the opportunity and not wait for the Federal Reserve to further release liquidity.

According to BlockBeats, on July 3rd, according to the Deribit Bitcoin Volatility Index data, the implied volatility of Bitcoin has dropped to its lowest level in nearly two years. This index tracks 30 day forward looking annualized price volatility expectations, indicating significant changes in trading behavior for this largest cryptocurrency. Over the past two months, Bitcoin has consistently fluctuated within a narrow range of $93000 to $111000, in stark contrast to its historical price trend. Market analysts attribute the decrease in volatility to multiple factors, among which the increase in call option sell operations by Bitcoin holders is particularly crucial. David Lawant, head of research at FalconX, pointed out that this strategy of earning profits by selling call options effectively suppresses price volatility. Currently, about 80% of Bitcoin option holdings in the market are concentrated in the strike price range of $100000 to $120000, forming a natural price buffer zone. It is worth noting that despite the decrease in volatility, the funding rate for Bitcoin perpetual contracts remains positive, indicating that the market's bullish sentiment has not changed.

BlockBeats News: On July 3rd, according to a report released by cybersecurity firm Sentinel Labs on Wednesday, North Korean hackers are using a new type of malware targeting Apple devices to attack cryptocurrency companies. Hackers impersonate trusted individuals on instant messaging apps such as Telegram, send fake Zoom update files, and actually install malicious software called "NimDoor". This malicious software is written in the rare Nim programming language and can bypass Apple's memory protection mechanism by deploying information theft programs specifically targeting cryptocurrency wallets and browser passwords. The Nim language is becoming a new favorite among cybercriminals due to its ability to run without modification on Windows, Mac, and Linux, as well as its fast compilation speed and difficulty in detection. The malware also contains scripts that can steal Telegram encrypted local databases and decryption keys, and will wait for 10 minutes before activation to avoid security scanning.

Arthur Hayes pointed out in his latest article that although he is optimistic about the long-term performance of Bitcoin and digital assets, there may be a temporary contraction in US dollar liquidity in the short term due to Trump's "Great Beauty Act". He stated that the bill will raise the debt ceiling, and the Ministry of Finance may supplement the Treasury Account (TGA) balance from $364 billion to $850 billion by issuing debt, which could trigger a liquidity contraction of $486 billion. Hayes predicts that the market may experience a sideways or slight decline before Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's speech at the end of August. If TGA supplements have a negative impact on US dollar liquidity, Bitcoin prices may drop to the range of $90000 to $95000; If the impact is limited, Bitcoin may remain volatile within the $100000 range, but it will be difficult to break through the historical high of $112000. It is expected that by early September, after the debt ceiling issue is resolved, market bulls will regain their advantage as currency creation accelerates. It is expected that Bitcoin may rise tenfold to $1 million by 2028, while the Nasdaq 100 index may soar to 100000 points.
