DashTape reports - According to the Bitfinex Alpha analysis report, August employment data has reinforced expectations of a Fed rate hike in September. The market now estimates the probability of a 25-basis-point hike on September 16 at approximately 60%. However, Bitcoin remains near $80,000, with US spot Bitcoin ETFs recording net inflows of approximately $986.7 million last week. Data shows that US non-farm payrolls increased by 162,000 in August, while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%. The manufacturing PMI rose to 54.6, indicating that the economy has not shown signs of a sharp slowdown. Nevertheless, input costs remain elevated, and inflationary pressures have shifted market policy discussions back toward rate hikes. Meanwhile, US Treasury yields continue to weigh on risk assets, with the 2-year yield climbing to 4.37% and the 30-year yield holding at a high of 5.24%. Bitfinex notes that Bitcoin has encountered resistance near $82,000 recently and remains range-bound between approximately $77,200 and $82,100. Bitfinex believes that sustained ETF inflows and growth in stablecoin supply are providing support for Bitcoin, but Fed policy expectations and elevated Treasury yields are limiting upside potential. If this week's inflation data comes in below expectations, the market may once again price in a pause in rate hikes for September; conversely, persistent inflationary pressures could further strengthen rate hike expectations. Until a breakout from the current consolidation range occurs, Bitcoin is more likely to maintain a relatively strong sideways trend rather than confirming the start of a new upward rally.

DashTape reports Malone Lam, the mastermind behind the theft of over 4,100 BTC (valued at more than $240 million at the time) via a "social engineering" attack in August 2024, will appear at a plea agreement hearing this Tuesday. The group posed as Google and Gemini staff, tricking the victim into granting Google Drive access and providing security verification codes before transferring away their Bitcoin and laundering the funds through multiple trading platforms and money laundering intermediaries. After succeeding, the group members splurged extravagantly: Lam, the 22-year-old Singaporean mastermind, once spent $569,000 in a single night at a Los Angeles nightclub, and used the stolen funds to purchase watches worth $2 million as well as more than 30 Porsches, Lamborghinis, and Ferraris. A total of 18 defendants were indicted in connection with the case. The lavish spending exposed their vulnerabilities: one suspect was traced after leaking an IP address while hiding nearly $30 million in stolen assets, while another suspect was found in possession of $37 million in stolen crypto assets. U.S. judicial authorities have already issued sentences for multiple accomplices, and Lam is scheduled to appear at a plea agreement hearing on Tuesday.

DashTape reports Tom Lee, Chairman of Bitmine, the Ethereum treasury company, and Co-Founder of Fundstrat, stated that Ethereum is more akin to "digital land" than cash. Tom Lee believes that the core of high-quality assets lies in their ability to serve as a long-term store of value, as investors trust these assets to effectively hold and manage capital. Stocks can serve as stores of value because investors purchase shares based on their confidence in a company's long-term capital management capabilities; real estate possesses both store-of-value and cash-flow attributes, generating income through rental yields. Within this framework, Tom Lee argues that Ethereum is closer to the stock market or land, with its long-term value primarily derived from the network itself serving as the underlying infrastructure and settlement layer, rather than functioning mainly as a payment and medium-of-exchange instrument like cash.
