According to Jin Ten, Fed's Schmid stated on Wednesday that high inflation remains a key issue that the Fed needs to address, but he did not specify how monetary policy should respond. Schmid said, "I think we still have work to do on inflation," while noting that the employment situation is quite good. He pointed out that the large amount of mortgage-backed securities held from the Fed's past bond-buying actions continues to suppress housing borrowing costs, and mortgage rates "could be 75 to 100 basis points lower than their original levels."

According to on-chain analysis released by @Route2FI, a certain whale is holding a total value of $24 million in long positions of ARC on the Perp DEX Lighter, and is adding $360,000 every hour through TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price), continuously injecting funds to drive the bullish trend. Currently, this whale has made a profit of $5 million.The annualized funding rate for ARC contracts on Lighter has skyrocketed to 2100%, equivalent to short sellers earning about 5.7% in funding fees daily, which will attract more shorts and intensify the long-short battle. Route2FI noted that this whale's behavior is similar to the price manipulation incident involving JellyJelly on Hyperliquid. In March 2025, a whale trader on Hyperliquid heavily shorted the JELLY perpetual contract while simultaneously driving up the spot price through other accounts and on-chain, leading to the liquidation of short traders. The Hyperliquid liquidity pool HLP suffered losses after settlement, prompting the Hyperliquid team to urgently vote to delist the contract and force settlement at a very low price.Route2FI added that it is currently unclear what the whale's intentions are. The HLP of Hyperliquid will absorb liquidated positions, but the LLP of Lighter will not absorb such large positions. If the position is too large or the risk is too high, it will directly trigger the ADL automatic deleveraging mechanism, making it difficult for the whale to replicate the strategy of the JellyJelly incident successfully.

According to CoinDesk, although the price of Bitcoin has fallen nearly 17% this month, the stock prices of several Bitcoin mining companies have risen against the trend, such as TeraWulf, which has increased by 31% this month, Cipher Mining by 8%; Hut 8 by 6%; and Core Scientific remaining basically flat.Analysts believe that Bitcoin mining companies are currently one of the targets with a high short-selling ratio among hedge funds. If the fundamentals improve, it may trigger a short covering rally. These companies have secured long-term and attractive power contracts, giving them a structural advantage on the energy cost side. Their strategic value goes beyond just Bitcoin mining, and capital is flowing towards "structural winners," while traditional mining companies may face the risk of being marginalized.

According to The Block, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan pointed out that there may currently be structural valuation errors in crypto assets, primarily due to investors' "anchoring bias," which keeps them focused on old narratives while ignoring the reality that Wall Street is accelerating its shift towards on-chain infrastructure.Hougan emphasized that although the market size for tokenized assets is currently only about $20 billion, the vast scale of traditional financial markets indicates significant growth potential. He cited examples such as BlackRock launching a tokenized government bond fund, JPMorgan issuing deposit tokens on the Base network, and Apollo's tokenized credit fund, arguing that the lagging consensus narrative compared to actual developments provides investors with opportunities to achieve excess returns (Alpha). He suggested that investors should establish broad market exposure to navigate the ongoing structural changes in finance.
