Bitcoin analyst Plan B stated on the X platform that the core of Bitcoin's long-term value lies in scarcity, not short-term price fluctuations.Plan B believes that many people focus on Bitcoin's price charts, while the S2F model he uses focuses on the degree of asset scarcity. This model measures scarcity through "existing supply ÷ annual new production," where the S2F for gold is approximately 60. Due to Bitcoin's fixed total supply of 21 million coins and its predictable issuance schedule, its S2F is currently around 120 and continues to rise over time.The Bitcoin halving mechanism is an important driver of the S2F model. Approximately every four years, the Bitcoin network reduces the block reward by half, decreasing new supply and roughly doubling the S2F level, making it the core supply-side event observed by the model.Plan B emphasized that the S2F and its upgraded version, the S2FX model, predict long-term average value rather than precisely forecasting market tops or bottoms. Bitcoin's price typically fluctuates around the model's estimated value, and investors should focus on multi-year cycle averages rather than single-day price highs. Additionally, Plan B believes that as scarcity increases, Bitcoin is undergoing different stages of development, including proof of concept, payment network, "digital gold"/store of value asset, and institutional-grade financial asset. Each increase in scarcity could bring new market narratives and capital inflows.However, Plan B also reiterated that "all models are wrong, but some are useful." He stated that the S2F model is merely a tool for long-term understanding of Bitcoin's scarcity, not a trading signal or a "crystal ball" for price prediction. Although the model has withstood major events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and China's mining ban, it still has limitations.
Odaily News: Asset management firm BlackRock has lowered the minimum threshold for in-kind Bitcoin conversions of the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) from $25 million to $1 million, a 96% reduction. This mechanism allows authorized participants to exchange Bitcoin for IBIT shares instead of settling in cash. Robbie Mitchnick, BlackRock's Head of Digital Assets, said in an interview on Bloomberg TV that Bitcoin holders can now convert BTC to IBIT in kind with a minimum amount of $1 million. Previously, the threshold was $25 million, primarily targeting large market makers and institutional trading desks. Over the past three consecutive trading days last week, IBIT attracted $479 million in inflows, accounting for approximately 76% of total spot Bitcoin ETF inflows during the same period. In early August this year, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows for five consecutive trading days, accumulating over $750 million for the week. (Bitcoin.com News)

BTC/ETH ETF weekly net inflows were $853M/$245M, the third-largest institutional buying week of the year. Core risk this week: 8/12 CPI (08:30 ET), determining the direction of September rate hike expectations. Strategy advances on three fronts: Sell ETH weekly expiry $1,800 P (annualized ~15-20%), Sell HYPE 1D $52 P (annualized ~70%, newly listed on Bybit), Sell XAUT 1D $4,360 C (annualized ~30-60%). All three positions must be reduced to safe levels before CPI.

据 BitMEX 联合创始人、Maelstrom 首席投资官 Arthur Hayes 在其 Substack 专栏发文，美国财政部长贝森特（Bessent）已公开呼吁扩大美联储 FIMA（外国及国际货币当局）回购便利机制，允许日本财务省（MOF）将其持有的美国国债作为抵押，从美联储借入美元，再将美元兑换为日元，从而在不抛售美债的前提下实现日元升值。 Hayes 认为，这一机制本质上是美联储直接印钞，其规模上限取决于日本政府及 GPIF（日本政府养老金投资基金）合计约 1.37 万亿美元的美债持仓。一旦美联储外汇货币小组委员会（Foreign Currency Subcommittee）召开会议并修改 FIMA 规则，这一"印钞开关"即可启动，且无需国会批准或公开听证。 Hayes 指出，日元廉价时代已近尾声，新一轮美元流动性扩张将推动比特币、黄金及黄金矿企股价上涨。他特别点名以太坊（ETH）为"大市值沉睡标的"，并看好 Ethena（ENA）在比特币价格回升后有望实现 5 倍涨幅。目前 Maelstrom 已重仓比特币，并等待 FIMA 规则修改落地后进一步加仓。
Odaily News Trader "First Set Ten Big Goals" Jason (@Jason60704294) stated that the medium-to-long-term trend has not changed and still believes the current area is a cyclical bottom. Barring an extreme structural collapse, he believes the area around $58,000 for Bitcoin will be the bottom zone for this cycle.Jason said that previously reducing his position by two-thirds at a cost basis of around $64,000 was not a change in his bullish outlook, but rather an active effort to lower position risk and reserve room for extreme market conditions. If future price action aligns with expectations, he will look for opportunities to gradually buy back the positions he trimmed.He reminded that Bitcoin has recently been in a range-bound market, making position management key to controlling risk. He noted that he typically uses 3x to 5x leverage for trading, while 10x, 20x, or even higher leverage may carry a greater risk of liquidation.
According to Yonhap News, the phenomenon of "reverse Kimchi premium" in South Korea's virtual asset market has continued to intensify since the beginning of this year. According to monitoring by on-chain data platform CryptoQuant, the average Bitcoin Kimchi premium index in early August was -0.48%, and the Ethereum average was -0.49%, meaning domestic prices were lower than those on overseas exchanges. Of the 221 days this year, the number of days with a reverse Bitcoin Kimchi premium reached 123, marking the first time since CryptoQuant began tracking this data in July 2020 that it exceeded the number of days with a positive premium. The record for the longest consecutive streak was also recently broken—from June 20 to July 24 this year, a reverse premium was recorded for 35 consecutive days, surpassing the previous historical record of 23 days. Analysts noted that the continued expansion of the reverse Kimchi premium mainly stems from three factors: first, the South Korean stock market has continued to strengthen, attracting a large number of investors to shift away from the crypto market; second, tighter regulations have prevented new services such as derivatives from being launched, suppressing the inflow of new funds; third, the crypto asset taxation policy is about to be implemented, further depressing investment attractiveness.
