Arthur Hayes: US May Expand Money Supply to Support AI and Government Debt, Driving Crypto Assets Higher
According to Cointelegraph, BitMEX co-founder and Maelstrom CIO Arthur Hayes said during Blockchain Week Korea that U.S. policymakers may need to expand the money supply to support AI data center construction and government debt financing, with the resulting increase in liquidity potentially driving crypto asset prices higher. Hayes noted that AI companies require trillions of dollars in funding to build data centers, and as prices for related services continue to drop, this could ultimately push policymakers to adopt a more accommodating monetary stance. He also highlighted that China's monetary policy may shift from relatively tight conditions to larger-scale stimulus, which he believes could reignite market demand for scarce assets.

Arthur Hayes stated that U.S. policymakers may support the AI industry and government debt financing through money printing, driving cryptocurrency prices higher; if China shifts from limited tightening to large-scale monetary stimulus, it could also boost demand for scarce assets.

Arthur Hayes: Rising Dollar Liquidity Will Drive Bitcoin and Crypto Higher
Odaily Planet Daily Report: Arthur Hayes stated on the X platform that his article "Yen-quake" will introduce how Buffalo Bill Bessent plans to manipulate the dollar-yen exchange rate and restart the money printing press. Arthur Hayes said that over the past decade, the continued weakening of the yen has driven gains in global asset markets, but this situation will eventually come to an end. The yen is the lowest-valued currency globally and is also a point of contention among the United States, China, and Japanese everyday voters. There are three ways to resolve the yen issue, but the U.S. Treasury and Japanese politicians tend to favor only one of them. He will explain the operating mechanisms of each yen appreciation method and why the final option is the preferred approach; he will then discuss how to execute the third option at the political level. He stated that as dollar liquidity rises significantly, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies will rally. The three options include: 1. The Bank of Japan sharply raises interest rates, causing the dollar-yen interest rate differential to disappear, at least on the short end. 2. The government persuades domestic institutions and public bodies such as GPIF to change their investment mandates, selling overseas assets and buying local assets. 3. Preferred option: The Japanese Ministry of Finance conducts repurchase transactions of its U.S. Treasury holdings with the Federal Reserve in exchange for dollars; it then sells dollars and buys yen in the foreign exchange market. Arthur Hayes said that before getting into the details, speculators should consider why yen appreciation is being discussed now. Over the past few decades, many have claimed that the yen was about to appreciate and trigger a global unwinding of carry trades. Two weeks ago, monetary policy officials from the United States and Japan conducted a joint exchange rate manipulation operation, though they euphemistically called it intervention. U.S. Treasury Secretary Buffalo Bill Bessent indicated a desire to raise the counterparty limit for the FIMA repo facility, enabling Japan's Ministry of Finance to use its massive asset reserves to defend the yen. Japan's Ministry of Finance also stated it is working closely with the United States to push the dollar-yen exchange rate lower. Relevant officials are signaling to the market their support for a shift in global currency relations, so the market must pay attention to this.
Analysis: Micron May Be Entering a New Valuation Structure Logic of "Higher Earnings, Higher Valuation"
Odaily reports, Deep Value Memetics posted an analysis on X platform, pointing out that Micron Technology may currently be exhibiting an atypical semiconductor valuation structure: as earnings per share (EPS) rise, the valuation multiple the market assigns is simultaneously expanding.Currently, Micron trades at approximately 22 times PE, below the S&P 500 (SPY) average of about 22 times, and also significantly lower than the semiconductor index (SOX) at roughly 26 times. In previous cycles, analysts typically assigned lower valuation multiples during the peak earnings phase. However, as the "de-risking" process advances, this "show-me" narrative is shifting. The market may be entering a new phase of "EPS growth → valuation multiple expansion," leading to exponential valuation revaluation. If EPS reaches $200 and is assigned a 20 times valuation, Micron's stock price could point toward the $4,000 level.
Analysis: Micron May Break the Traditional Semiconductor Pricing Framework and Enter a New Logic of “Higher Profits, Higher Valuation”
According to an analysis published by Deep Value Memetics, Micron Technology may currently be exhibiting an atypical semiconductor valuation structure: its earnings per share (EPS) are rising while its market valuation multiple is simultaneously expanding.

BIT: Fed Expected to Hold Rates Steady, U.S. Stocks May Trend Higher Amid Volatility in September
According to an analysis by BIT official Chinese (@BITofficial_CN), US stocks historically tend to enter a consolidation phase in September, particularly ahead of midterm elections. Despite market concerns over a potential Federal Reserve rate hike next week, BIT anticipates that the Fed is more likely to keep interest rates unchanged, helping markets downplay the impact of short-term monetary policy and political uncertainties. The S&P 500 Index currently trades slightly above its 30-day moving average, and the overall uptrend remains intact, with trend-following funds continuing to maintain long exposure. Absent any major risk events, US stocks are still expected to trend higher amid fluctuations. While tensions surrounding Iran and oil price risks continue to unsettle markets, US equities as a whole display strong resilience.

Analysis: On-chain data sends bearish signals, Bitcoin rebound faces sustained selling pressure
Bitfinex Alpha's latest report indicates that Bitcoin has entered a deeper correction phase, dropping to a low of $59,200 on June 5, a cumulative 53% decline from its all-time high in October 2025. This decline is primarily driven by record outflows from spot ETFs, derivative deleveraging, and sustained pressure from a high-interest-rate macroeconomic environment. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note currently remains above 4.45%, further dampening market expectations for a Fed rate cut.On-chain and fund flow data suggest the current market is closer to a "distribution phase" than "panic selling." The spot Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) has turned significantly negative after strong accumulation from April to May, indicating that recent buyers are steadily exiting. Meanwhile, the cost basis for short-term holders has fallen below the True Market Mean of $77,800, meaning a large number of new investors are in unrealized loss positions, creating significant selling pressure for any potential rebound. As the price approaches the overall realized cost basis of around $53,900, the characteristic of reducing positions on bounces is becoming more pronounced.At the macro level, the US economy continues to grow, but inflation is eroding real household income. The job market remains robust, with job openings hitting a nearly two-year high and continued job creation exceeding replacement levels. Sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, construction, and leisure and hospitality are all expanding. However, inflation is expected to continue outpacing wage growth, leading to a decline in real purchasing power and presenting the Fed with a more complex balance between maintaining employment and controlling inflation.The key driver of current market trends has shifted to real yields. Driven by rising energy prices and geopolitical risks, inflation expectations are heating up, pushing both nominal and real yields on US Treasuries higher. Higher real yields increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets, prompting investors to reassess their allocation to risk assets. Bitcoin has been the first to feel the impact, with US spot ETFs experiencing their largest outflows since launch. The market has also shifted from betting on rate cuts to pricing in the risk of "higher for longer" interest rates. Bitfinex Alpha believes that, in the current phase, the trajectory of real yields has become the most important variable influencing performance in both traditional financial and digital asset markets.Despite short-term pressure, the institutionalization process continues. The report notes that Securitize's approval to list on the New York Stock Exchange signals that tokenization infrastructure is further integrating into the traditional financial system. Concurrently, the US GENIUS Act is advancing a regulatory framework for stablecoins, bringing issuers under compliance requirements similar to those for traditional financial institutions. The institutio
Bonkguy: USELESS Will Become the Leading Meme Coin This Cycle, with Higher Conviction Than All Previous Trades
Odaily News Trader Bonkguy (unipcs) stated on the X platform that his publicly recorded Meme coin trades from the previous cycle include: BONK growing from $16,000 to over $20 million, WIF growing from $6,000 to over $1 million, FARTCOIN growing from approximately $300,000 to over $8 million, PNUT and POPCAT each growing from low six-figure USD amounts to over $1 million, and MAGA, DOGEGOV, and Roaring Kitty-themed tokens collectively growing from low five-figure and six-figure USD amounts to over $5-10 million.Unipcs stated that despite constant ridicule and claims that he would fail, his judgment has been repeatedly validated. Additionally, Unipcs said he believes USELESS will become the leading Meme coin this cycle, becoming the next DOGE or SHIB with a market cap in the tens of billions, and stated that his conviction in USELESS is stronger than in any previous trade. This is his most representative Meme coin trade of the cycle and the one he is most willing to stake his reputation on.
QCP: Long-Term Interest Rate Volatility and ETF Inflows Drive Crypto Market Higher
QCP reported that Bitcoin's rise is linked to declining US long-term Treasury yields and a weakening US dollar, following the US Treasury's announcement to expand the scale of its long-term Treasury liquidity support repurchase agreements starting September 9. Markets will now focus on the US July PCE data on August 26, the Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Symposium from August 27 to 29, and the Federal Reserve's policy meeting on September 15–16. QCP believes that the key factor for the current cryptocurrency market is whether spot demand can sustain itself following initial position adjustments, particularly amid the backdrop of rising leverage.
Analyst: Bitcoin May Be Bottoming Out in a "Boring Market," ETF Inflows Fail to Push Price Higher
According to Odaily, despite spot Bitcoin ETFs recording net inflows of $211.5 million on Tuesday, the price of Bitcoin remained largely flat, hovering around $64,000. Analysts believe this movement resembles the market being compressed into a low-volatility state, rather than signaling an impending sharp decline.On the same day, spot Ethereum ETFs also recorded net inflows of $53.8 million. In the broader macro market, the S&P 500 index closed at a record high of 7,737 points on August 4, the Nasdaq rose 2.6% driven by AI earnings, and Brent crude oil fell below $80 due to easing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.Wintermute OTC trader Jasper De Maere stated that ETF buying entering the market but failing to push Bitcoin's price higher is itself a key signal, indicating that marginal buyers in the spot market are not truly one-sided bulls. He believes that for Bitcoin to sustain its recovery narrative, it needs a clear breakout above $65,000 in the short term.Overall, analysts are interpreting the current Bitcoin price action as a form of "boring bottoming": no obvious panic selling, yet lacking strong upward momentum. ETF inflows provide support, but the price remains suppressed below key resistance, suggesting the market is still waiting for a clearer directional catalyst.
Morningstar: Nvidia's Fair Value Estimate Set at $280 Per Share, 44% Higher Than Current Levels
Odaily News: Investment research firm Morningstar stated in a report on July 30 that it has set Nvidia's fair value estimate at $280 per share, 44% higher than the current level of approximately $194. The firm believes that Nvidia's 17% decline since mid-May has begun to diverge from its fair value estimate.Morningstar also assigned Nvidia a "very high" uncertainty rating. The risks it listed include the possibility of hyperscale cloud providers developing their own AI hardware in the future, as well as related customers cutting spending in response to investor demands.Morningstar Senior Equity Analyst Brian Colello stated that the likelihood of strong AI capital expenditure in the near and medium term remains high, and Nvidia's growth prospects are being underestimated. He also noted that the stock appears to exhibit undervaluation characteristics.

OpenAI: Deep AI Adoption Drives 8.6x Higher Enterprise Productivity, Business Redesign Is Key
According to Yonhap News Agency, Kim Kyung-hoon, General Manager of OpenAI Korea, stated on the 8th at Samsung SDS's "Real Summit 2026" conference held at Seoul's COEX that between January and June this year, the productivity gap between the top 10 percent of enterprises leveraging AI applications and average-level companies has widened from 2.6 times to 8.6 times, with a 5.3 times gap observed in the manufacturing sector. Kim noted that the core factor driving this disparity is "connection": 21 percent of employees at leading firms use AI plugins integrated with business systems weekly, compared to just 9 percent in average companies. He introduced a three-phase methodology for corporate AI transformation—"켜라·맡겨라·남겨라" (Connect·Delegate·Retain)—emphasizing the redesign of business workflows over the mere adoption of AI tools.
