Over the past four trading days, BlackRock's related products have accumulated approximately 9,269 Bitcoin (worth about $604 million).Market analysts noted that sustained institutional inflows indicate that investor demand for Bitcoin remains strong in the long term.

Odaily News: U.S. July nonfarm payrolls unexpectedly decreased by 23,000, significantly missing market expectations. Although seasonal factors and the fading of the World Cup dividend disrupted the data, this still notably weakens the Federal Reserve's momentum for a September rate hike, shifting market focus to next week's CPI.Despite the "dismal" surface data, the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 4.1%. This seemingly contradictory phenomenon is actually attributed to a cumulative 0.7 percentage point decline in the labor force participation rate since the beginning of the year.Analysts are divided in their interpretation of this "terrible" report. Thomas Ryan, Senior Economist at Capital Economics, stated bluntly that although the current weakness has not yet shown up in broader indicators, it is sufficient to prompt Fed officials to reassess the health of the labor market and reduce their willingness to further tighten monetary policy in the near term.In the face of this report, which Adam Crisafulli, founder of Vital Knowledge, called "extremely terrible," the capital markets demonstrated typical contrarian logic. As traders bet that the rate hike process would stop here, U.S. stock futures rose accordingly, and Treasury yields collectively declined. According to data from CME Group's tools, the market-implied probability of a September rate hike has rapidly fallen from 55% on Thursday to 44%.
Odaily News: Whale "Set 10 Big Goals First" shared market views on X platform, writing "the last chance to get on board."

They also sense that Bitcoin is likely about to break out and initiate a new round of upward momentum, fearing they might miss the starting signal.

Odaily News Crypto analyst Ai stated on the X platform that multiple technical indicators on Bitcoin's monthly chart are flashing bullish signals, suggesting that the market may have formed a macro bottom. Data shows that the TD Sequential indicator triggered a buy signal on Bitcoin's monthly chart last month. This indicator previously succeeded in identifying the 2022 bear market bottom, and a similar signal has now emerged again.Additionally, Bitcoin's current price is near the 50-month simple moving average (SMA). Historical data shows that since 2014, this long-term moving average has repeatedly served as a key support zone for Bitcoin and has corresponded with multiple market bottoms. Meanwhile, the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) has fallen back to around -71. The last time this indicator reached a similar level was in June this year, when Bitcoin's price briefly dropped toward $57,000. Historically, extreme CMO lows often coincide with market bottom zones.Analysts believe that Bitcoin may continue to consolidate within the $60,000 to $67,000 range in the short term, but the TD Sequential buy signal, support from the 50-month moving average, and the oversold CMO condition collectively suggest that a long-term cyclical bottom may have already formed. The market will be watching whether the price can break out of the consolidation range to confirm a new round of upward trend.
Sharplink CEO Joseph Chalom (former Head of Digital Assets Strategy at BlackRock) posted that the EIP-8363 "decreasing issuance burn" proposal currently being discussed in the Ethereum community will gradually reduce validator staking yields by about 2.75%, until yields reach zero when staking volume reaches about half of the total supply; validators will then rely solely on transaction tips, accounting for 15% of current yields, to maintain operations. Chalom strongly opposes this, listing four major reasons: 1. Harms DeFi: Staking yields are the benchmark interest rate for on-chain lending; cutting them will raise on-chain capital costs and compress the collateral value of liquid staking tokens (approximately $35 billion TVL); 2. Weakens institutional appeal: ETH's native productivity is a core advantage distinguishing it from BTC; EIP-8363 will erase this difference, affecting institutional capital inflows such as ETPs and DATs; 3. Destroys ecosystem capital circulation: Issuance rewards are not "leakage," but flow to node operators, client development teams, and ecosystem builders; burning them will cut off the return of capital; 4. Extremely poor timing: Top institutions such as Robinhood, BlackRock, and BNY have successively chosen Ethereum; on-chain stablecoin scale reaches $159 billion, RWA exceeds $15 billion; modifying the underlying economic logic at this moment carries extremely high risk. Chalom expressed support for ETH's long-term deflationary goal, but believes the existing base fee burn mechanism (EIP-1
