Let’s analyze the news on the global economy and cryptocurrencies and consider economic trends together! Tuesday, October 7th, we’ll be discussing today’s cryptocurrency news and on-chain market conditions.
This program brings you the latest news to help you with your asset building. Let’s start with a look at 24-hour data headlines from the cryptocurrency market.
First, let’s start with the news that “U.S. Bitcoin Reserve Funding ‘Can Begin Anytime Now’.” This means that the U.S. government’s funding to secure Bitcoin as a reserve asset is technically and legally ready, and could begin immediately if the timing is right.
The background to this is Bitcoin’s growing status as digital gold. Amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty and inflation concerns, it is attracting attention from governments and institutional investors. Looking back over the past few years, Bitcoin has attracted attention alongside traditional assets during periods of large-scale monetary policy and market turmoil. This latest move marks a further step in that trend.
According to market participants, the announcement that fundraising is “available at any time” at this stage has fostered confidence in the market and led to expectations of future Bitcoin price increases. However, some have pointed out that “the timing and scale of actual purchases remain unclear.”
Next, we turn to the topic of gold prices approaching $4,000. Gold has long been known as a safe-haven asset, but its price approaching $4,000 is highly suggestive.
This level is significantly higher than in past decades, suggesting that many investors are shifting their funds to gold as a risk hedge. These developments are also indirectly affecting Bitcoin, drawing renewed attention to its correlation with Bitcoin, often referred to as “digital gold.”
Some experts have analyzed that while rising gold prices signal a risk-averse trend in investor sentiment, this could also lead to increased demand for Bitcoin.
The third factor is the decline in USDT (Tether) market dominance and the rise in altcoin prices. USDT is a stablecoin used on many cryptocurrency exchanges and has a significant presence in the overall market. When its dominance declines, funds tend to flow more easily to other altcoins.
Recently, the decline in USDT dominance has led to an increase in the prices of many altcoins. In response to this trend, some are hoping for an “alt season,” a period in which major altcoins perform well across the board. However, market participants caution that this is still early days and caution remains lingering regarding its sustainability.
The fourth factor is the move by ARK Invest, led by Cathie Wood. ARK Invest, known for its innovative thematic investing, has announced its investment in BlackRock-backed Securitize. Securitize provides a tokenization platform and is working to digitize traditional assets such as real estate and stocks.
This investment can be seen as a bet on the new financial revolution known as “tokenization.” In other words, it envisions a future in which more assets will be managed and traded on the blockchain. ARK Invest is known for its proactive investment in such cutting-edge technologies and has attracted significant attention from the market.
Finally, we have “Grayscale Launches the First Ethereum Staking ETF in the US.” Grayscale, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency mutual fund managers, has launched its first Ethereum staking exchange-traded fund (ETF) product in the US market.
Ethereum staking is a system in which investors earn rewards for participating in maintaining the Ethereum network, and this ETF will allow individual investors to access staking revenue with relative ease. This product is expected to support the expansion of the cryptocurrency market and the spread of DeFi (decentralized finance) from 2025 onward.
We’ve introduced five pieces of news so far, each with its own psychological and economic impact.
First, the U.S. government’s preparations to fully participate in Bitcoin reserves are boosting confidence in the overall market and expectations for future price increases. This is a positive signal for both institutional and retail investors.
Second, the rise in gold prices reflects ongoing uncertainty about global conditions and concerns about monetary policy, increasing demand for Bitcoin as a safe-haven asset and accelerating its popularity as digital gold.
Third, the upward trend in altcoins due to the decline in USDT dominance reflects a shift in market participants’ risk appetite and increased interest in new growth stocks. However, careful monitoring is required to determine whether this trend will continue.
Fourth, ARK Invest’s expanded investment in tokenization companies signals expectations for financial innovation brought about by blockchain technology and its integration with the real economy. This could lead to changes in the market structure itself.
And fifth, the launch of Grayscale’s Ethereum staking ETF will pave the way for the spread of new investment methods and revenue models, lowering the barriers to participation in the diversifying cryptocurrency market.
