Let’s analyze the news on the global economy and cryptocurrencies and consider economic trends together! On Sunday, September 21st, we’ll be discussing today’s cryptocurrency news and on-chain market conditions.
This program brings you the latest news to help you build your wealth. Let’s start by looking at 24-hour data headlines from the cryptocurrency market.
First, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin talks about “Low-Risk DeFi (Decentralized Finance).”
“Low-risk DeFi could be as significant for Ethereum as search engines were for Google,” Vitalik said. This isn’t just a technological advance; it’s about creating an environment where safer, more reliable DeFi services can be widely adopted, creating a safer and more secure environment for many users.
The underlying motivation is concerns about the risks inherent in traditional DeFi, such as price fluctuations and smart contract vulnerabilities. Low-risk DeFi has the potential to mitigate these issues and attract a new user base.
Just as Google dominated the search engine market and fundamentally changed how information is accessed, low-risk DeFi will likely create a new wave throughout the Ethereum ecosystem. Market participants are hopeful that this will increase trust in DeFi and lead to massive capital inflows.
Next, an analyst makes an interesting point: “The world is entering its fourth turning point.”
The “fourth turning point” he refers to is a period of major social and economic change based on historical cycle theory. Analysts predict that Bitcoin prices will accelerate at this time.
Looking back over the past few decades, not only gold and stock markets but also Bitcoin have shown unique movements during periods of major societal change. This time around, too, it is believed that demand for Bitcoin will increase due to market participants’ psychology and as a safe haven.
There are three key points to this view.
First, increased uncertainty is driving demand for Bitcoin as a safe haven.
Second, increased buying interest from institutional and large investors.
Third, the market as a whole is gaining understanding and acceptance of digital assets.
However, some experts point out that “historical cycle theory itself has its limitations, so overconfidence is not advisable.”
Next, we look at the bold goal set by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong.
He has declared his goal of creating a “crypto super app that replaces banks.” This super app plans to provide services that can centrally manage everything from payments to investments and loans.
The underlying motivation is dissatisfaction with and inefficiency toward traditional financial institutions. By utilizing virtual currencies and blockchain technology, which are particularly popular among young people and the digital native generation, Armstrong aims to provide “more convenient and transparent financial services.”
While some in the market are excited about this initiative, saying it could mark a paradigm shift for the entire financial industry if successful, others are cautious, citing a mountain of friction with regulators and technical challenges.
The fourth issue is Bitcoin mining difficulty.
Recently, this indicator reached a new all-time high (ATH). Mining difficulty is a numerical value that indicates the difficulty of generating a new block. A higher value indicates increased competition among miners and increased computing power.
However, this also raises concerns about centralization. The increasing concentration of mining in large mining pools and specific regions has been criticized for its impact on a network that should be decentralized.
Market participants have stated that while increased difficulty will strengthen network security, the risks of centralization cannot be ignored.
Finally, there is activity by stablecoin developers.
Many stablecoin project teams are rushing to develop regulatory responses ahead of the “GENIUS Act,” which is expected to be introduced soon in the U.S. Congress. This bill aims to stabilize the market by establishing strict rules for stablecoin issuance and management.
Developers are cautious, saying, “While we welcome the tightening of regulations, depending on their content, they could become a barrier to providing innovative services.” At the same time, they intend to act quickly in order to gain trust and stabilize the market.
Here are some key points that can be seen from today’s news.
First, low-risk DeFi is expected to bring trust and capital inflows to the entire Ethereum ecosystem.
Second, the “Fourth Turning Point” is a backdrop for predictions of a long-term trend of expanding Bitcoin demand.
Third, the Coinbase CEO’s bold initiative to create a super app aimed at restructuring the financial industry.
Fourth, rising mining difficulty and the resulting concerns about centralization pose network challenges.
Fifth, stablecoin developers are taking preemptive measures to combat the imminent tightening of regulations.
All of these reflect the complex dynamics unique to the maturation and growth of the cryptocurrency market as a whole. It’s something we’ll need to keep an eye on from all angles.
