Odaily News As August comes to an end, the mild pullback of Bitcoin may also be nearing its conclusion. Bitcoin has fallen about 4% this month, down 12% from its historical high of $124,500, and is currently trading around $110,580.

The options market points to a "maximum pain" level of $116,000, which refers to the strike price at which the largest number of options expire worthless, typically causing the greatest financial pain for option holders while providing the greatest profit for option sellers. Given that this level is above the current spot price of Bitcoin, it suggests that there may be upside potential soon. (CoinDesk)

According to the 21st Century Business Herald, the popularity of stablecoins remains high, with attention gradually shifting to practical application scenarios. Recently, there have been market reports indicating that Yiwu has cases of foreign trade goods accepting stablecoin payments, making it once again a focal point of public attention. After an on-site visit, the reporter made the following discoveries: 1. Data is seriously exaggerated: stablecoin payments in Yiwu have not yet formed a scale, and the actual users are very few. 2. Core obstacles are difficult to resolve: export tax rebate policies and the demand for corporate financing/exhibition spaces are the core advantages that traditional payments cannot replace. 3. Risks outweigh advantages: the risk of card freezing and exchange costs lead merchants to actively avoid stablecoins. 4. Breaking the deadlock relies on regulation: whether promotion can occur in the future depends on whether compliant platforms like "Yi Payment" can obtain licenses (such as in Hong Kong) and resolve core pain points like tax rebates and financing.

BlockBeats news, on July 1, the trading information platform Kobeissi Letter pointed out that the irony regarding the situation between Elon Musk and Trump is that eliminating the U.S. budget deficit could actually achieve all of President Trump's economic goals in one go. First, reducing deficit spending would decrease the issuance of national debt, thereby dropping the yields on government bonds. This would also lower the inflation rate, allowing The Federal Reserve (FED) to cut interest rates and calm the fluctuations in the bond market. In fact, it was the bond market that caused a turning point in the trade war in April, when the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond soared above 4.60%. To some extent, reducing deficit spending would enable Trump to impose more tariff pressure to narrow the trade deficit. While the trade war is viewed as "short-term pain for long-term gain," the true applicable scenario for this statement is the reduction of deficit spending. As Musk discusses the debt crisis.
