Federal Reserve Meeting Minutes: Multiple Officials Think Rate Hikes May Be Needed If Necessary

Comparing news, the minutes of the Federal Reserve meeting showed that several officials preferred to raise interest rates last month, while many officials said that if inflation fails to fall, monetary policy will need to be further tightened. However, at the July meeting, uncertainty still seriously affected the judgment of Federal Reserve officials. Meeting minutes show: “Regarding the outlook for monetary policy, participants reiterated that their interpretation of future data will be a key component in policy discussions.” The FOMC voted 9 to 3 in July to maintain the benchmark interest rate in the 3.5% to 3.75% range. Logan, Hamak, and Kashkari voted against, arguing for a 25 basis point increase in interest rates. Two other regional Federal Reserve presidents who did not have the right to vote in July — Schmid and Mussalem — have since said they would support a rate hike at that meeting if they had the right to vote at that time. Most of the policy discussions at the July meeting revolved around different judgments about future inflation trends. “Most participants expect inflation to gradually decline for the rest of the year as the effects of tariffs and previous increases in energy prices subside, but many participants pointed out that there is still a possibility that inflation will continue to be at a high level,” the meeting minutes said.

Skyrocketing! The crypto market picked up overnight, who ignited the fire behind it?

After months of silence, the crypto market finally ushered in a round of general rise after a long absence. In the US market on August 19, Bitcoin quickly rose from a low of about 64,100 US dollars during the day, and recently hit 69,000 US dollars again. At the beginning of June, Bitcoin fell below 70,000 US dollars and returned to around 69,000 US dollars. Since then, it has fluctuated more than 60,000 US dollars for most of the time. Now, after a lapse of nearly 3 months, it has once again reached this position, and market sentiment has clearly heated up. At one point, Ethereum rose by about 8.6%, and altcoins such as XRP and SOL all rose by more than 6%. The Fear and Greed Index also rebounded from the extreme fear range to a neutral fear level of around 40. This wave of markets is coming very fast, but it's not without any signs. Over the past few weeks, Bitcoin has been stuck in a sideways trade of more than $60,000. Prices are falling little, and buying is not strong enough, and the market is waiting for new catalysts every day. As of today, several factors have just come together: the fall in US bond yields, the weakening of the US dollar, improved US regulatory expectations, and the continued absorption of funds by large players on the chain have finally ignited the market. The first flash came from the US Treasury bond market, which had the biggest impact on the market today, and came from the US Treasury. The US Treasury Department announced that it will increase the liquidity support repurchase scale of 10-year to 30-year treasury bonds. The maximum limit for a single operation will be raised from 2 billion US dollars to at least 4 billion US dollars, which will be implemented on September 9. After the news came out, the yield on US long-term treasury bonds fell rapidly. The 30-year US Treasury yield fell by nearly 10 basis points, the 10-year yield returned to around 4.65%, and the US dollar index also weakened markedly. This is important for Bitcoin. US bond yields have remained high for some time. The 30-year US Treasury yield was once close to 5.34%, a multi-year high. As far as global capital is concerned, when US Treasury bonds can provide a yield of about 5%, capital is naturally more cautious; there is not much need to chase the volatile Bitcoin. Now that long-term yields have begun to decline, the US dollar is weakening at the same time, market concerns about liquidity have temporarily eased, and high-risk assets are also taking a breather. Jeremy Stretch, head of foreign exchange strategy at CIBC, believes that the actions of the US Treasury indicate that the policy level has noticed the pressure on the long-term bond market and the impact of this pressure on other assets. Second catalyst, SEC's new draft token issuance The US SEC proposed a new draft rule called “Regulation Crypto Assets” on August 18. It plans to establish a more targeted issuance system for some investment contracts involving crypto assets, including a maximum issuance exemption of up to 5 million US dollars for startup projects and a financing exemption of up to 75 million US dollars every 12 months. The key benefit is the “safe harbor” rule. Simply put: In the past, many crypto projects could be treated as “securities” by the SEC as “securities” and faced fines and removal at any time. Now, the draft provides a clear way out: the project party has completed (or officially stopped) the promised development and operation, and after reporting to the SEC, this coin is no longer considered a security. In the future, everyone will be able to trade and trade more freely, and there is no need to worry about sudden regulatory action. In addition, early projects can raise up to 5 million US dollars, and the procedures are much simpler. One sentence: The US has finally drawn a clear “graduation line” for crypto projects to reduce uncertainty and facilitate project implementation and transactions with ordinary investors. However, it is still only a proposal, which does not mean that the US crypto regulation issue has been completely resolved. However, market transactions have never been just reality, but also expectations. Crypto concept stocks such as Coinbase and Circle also clearly strengthened on the same day, indicating that this part of the expectation was not only reflected in currency prices. Today's surge in giant whales, which have been collecting funds for a long time, seems sudden, but from an on-chain perspective, the big money movement did not appear until today. CryptoQuant data shows that over the past 60 days, large Bitcoin holders — which excludes exchange and mining pool wallets from the statistics — have increased their net holdings by about 43,000 BTC. Based on the previous price of around 64,000 US dollars, the value is about 2.75 billion US dollars; if calculated at around 69,000 US dollars today, this batch of bitcoins is already close to 3 billion US dollars, and some of the large capital has slowly begun to be received. Real demand for goods is also picking up. According to recent CryptoQuant research, Bitcoin's 30-day “spot demand” has quickly recovered from negative about 206,000 BTC on July 23 to negative 5,000 on August 18. It is only one step away from recovering to a positive value, and the closest to a correction since the end of February. This indicator measures whether there are actually people in the market who are really willing to buy coins with money. CryptoQuant's historical backtesting shows that when this demand indicator changed from negative to positive, Bitcoin rose at a median rate for the next 60 days...

Bitcoin Volatility Drops to Cycle Low, Traders Turn to AI Stocks and Predictive Markets

Comparatively, Bitcoin's volatility recently fell to a multi-year low. The actual 30-day volatility was about 42%, while the S&P 500 index was about 18%. The gap in volatility between the two is the smallest in history. The market is at a standoff between buyers and sellers, and the sell-off by enterprises and mining companies limits room for growth, while the clearance of leverage and the continued accumulation of long-term holders limited the decline. As Bitcoin's volatility declined, some short-term traders began to shift their risk appetite to assets such as AI stocks, tokenized stocks, stock perpetual contracts, and predictive markets. According to NYDIG research, short-term traders are more likely to chase volatility, narrative momentum, and potential returns, and traders seeking 5x or 10x returns can now choose between Bitcoin, Nvidia, gold, stock perpetual contracts, 0DTE options, and sporting event contracts. According to the data, the monthly trading volume of traditional asset perpetual contracts on crypto trading platforms has increased from US$52 billion in January to US$268 billion in June, an increase of more than fivefold in half a year. Meanwhile, Korean retail traders have clearly switched from cryptocurrencies to AI-related stocks, and trading volume on major Korean crypto exchanges dropped by up to 80% year over year. CoinDesk pointed out that the Bitcoin market is currently more like a dormant state, where declining transaction participation, deep market contraction, and regulatory uncertainty are all reducing volatility. If US crypto regulations make substantial progress, the macro environment changes, or new market narratives emerge, the current low volatility pattern may be broken, and weak liquidity may further amplify price fluctuations.

Meta can't keep the Chinese University of Science and Technology hegemony: the big model in Silicon Valley, the Chinese are starting to form their own games

He dropped a $100 million, four-year “contract” in exchange for leaving after 14 months — the talent Zuckerberg had taken from OpenAI and left Meta. In the summer of 2025, Zuckerberg personally knocked out Jiahui Yu (Jiahui Yu), the head of multimodal research, from OpenAI using a salary plan with a total value of up to 100 million US dollars and covering four years. Silicon Valley is on the sidelines, and the industry calls it “stealing people at sky-high prices.” However, just 14 months later — on August 14, 2026, the star researcher, whom Meta had high hopes for, announced his departure and started his own business. A year ago, the blockbuster in the industry ended up being held for a shorter period of time than an NBA season. Just eight days before leaving his job, Muse Spark, the multi-modal model he led, had just been updated to version 1.2. From forming the team to continuously launching the four product lines Muse Spark, Voice Mode, Muse Image, and Muse Video, Yu Jiahui's year at Meta covered almost the entire process of this new team from construction to intensive delivery. Muse Image finished second in the Arena Wensheng Trials Test, beating Google Nano Banana, behind OpenAI GPT Image 2; Muse Video ranked third in the Wensheng video rankings. For Meta, this is certainly an impressive report card. But for Yu Jiahui, this is just an interlude. In his departure statement, he said he was “increasingly drawn to an issue that is critical to the future of humanity but has yet to be fully explored.” Details of the new company have not been disclosed, but he has decided to leave. From the junior class to the history of Yu Jiahui, the top in Silicon Valley, he is at the “top” level for any major AI company. Born in 1995 in Cixi, Zhejiang. In 2012, while still in his sophomore year of high school, he was admitted early to the Junior Class College of the Chinese University of Science and Technology. During his undergraduate studies, he won several contests, including the National Parallel Application Challenge Championship. After graduating in 2016, he went to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) to study for his PhD in computer vision. This scholar trained many famous figures in the field of AI, such as Zhou Xi, founder of Yuncong Technology, and Han Xu, founder of Wenyuan Zhixing. After graduating from her PhD, Yu Jiahui's career progressed step by step. He has worked as a senior research scientist and manager at Google Brain and Google DeepMind, and has participated in the development of visual modules for the Gemini multi-modal project. Joined OpenAI in October 2023 as the head of the Perception (Perception) team, leading the development of GPT-4O and O-series inference models. In June 2025, Zuckerberg personally stepped down, and Yu Jiahui joined former OpenAI researchers such as Zhao Shengjia, Bi Shuchao, and Ren Hongyu into Meta's newly formed super intelligent team. According to foreign media Wired, Meta's compensation package was as high as $100 million — although Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth later clarified that this was not a one-time signing bonus, but a four-year total compensation plan that included stocks, bonuses, and performance conditions. But even so, this is one of the few sky-high contracts in the AI field. (Photo source: One mu of three-quarters of land) After conversion, even though Yu Jiahui only worked for 14 months, Meta paid an estimated cost of more than 25 million dollars for this short period of cooperation — but the actual cost of sunk was even higher. After all, the investment in team building and project start-up cannot be proportionately calculated. The fanaticism of the capital market is driving Silicon Valley's talent exodus, and Yu Jiahui's departure is by no means an exception. In fact, Silicon Valley in 2026 is experiencing an unprecedented “exodus” of AI talents. According to data from the research platform AlphaXiv, Meta alone has lost more than 200 well-known researchers, and another 929 researchers have “worked at Meta but have left their jobs.” In October of last year, Meta drastically cut more than 600 researchers in the AI business. In June of this year, with Llama 4's poor market performance and the company's implementation of more stringent performance reviews, it is expected that 15% to 20% of employees will be rated as “below expectations”, and many senior researchers have switched to competitors. Tech author Gergely Orosz pointed out that Meta's internal organizational restructuring and efficiency adjustments have caused engineers to feel uneasy, and many senior experts have begun to remain open to external opportunities. Google's situation is no less than happy...
