During the roundtable discussion on 'Building Decentralized Social Networks - Opportunities and Challenges,' Lippencott emphasized the importance of a cohesive community for early-stage projects to gain initial traction.

๐Ÿš€ Bitcoin's September Performance May Exceed Expectations Amid Market Trends

According to Odaily, Matrixport has released a new chart indicating that the flow of funds into U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs has slowed as expected, given that September is typically a weak period. However, the recent upward trend in Bitcoin suggests that its performance this month may surpass expectations. The potential for a U.S. interest rate cut and a strong stock market are contributing factors that could drive Bitcoin's performance beyond anticipated levels. Historically, October has been a strong month for Bitcoin, and investors might take advantage of September's pullback to position themselves for potential opportunities in the fourth quarter.

๐Ÿš€ FOMC Meeting Unlikely To See Significant Rate Cut, Says Expert

According to Odaily, Steve Englander, Head of Global G10 FX Research and North American Macro Strategy at Standard Chartered Bank's New York branch, has stated that recent U.S. economic data does not provide a compelling reason for the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to cut interest rates by 50 basis points at its upcoming meeting. Englander emphasized that a 50 basis point rate cut, if proven to be a policy mistake, could be more detrimental than a 25 basis point cut under similar circumstances. The rationale for a 25 basis point reduction is that forthcoming inflation data does not support a rapid approach to the 2% inflation target. Additionally, the recent rise in unemployment rates indicates a concerning deterioration in the economy.

This announcement was made by Jeremy Allaire, the co-founder and CEO of Circle, the issuer of USDC. Allaire shared the news on X on September 17, reposting an announcement from Sui network ambassador Stravia.sui111.sui.

As part of this integration, USDC will be natively supported on Sui through the Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP).

Launched in 2023, Sui is an L1 blockchain and smart contract platform designed to simplify and enhance the creation of applications and functions within the Web3 ecosystem. It utilizes the Move programming language and supports parallel transaction execution.

The integration of native USDC and CCTP is anticipated to enhance Suiโ€™s usability, security, and interoperability for both users and developers. This sentiment was echoed in an announcement shared by the Sui Foundation. Adeniyi Abiodun, co-founder and chief product officer of Mysten Labs, the developer of the Sui network, stated that the availability of USDC as a native asset on Sui marks a significant milestone in the maturation of the Sui ecosystem. He emphasized that the combination of USDCโ€™s technology with Suiโ€™s capabilities provides the Sui community with seamless access to one of the worldโ€™s most trusted digital currencies, thereby solidifying Suiโ€™s position as an industry leader.

Cointelegraph reached out to Circle for comments regarding the USDC launch on Sui but did not receive a response at the time of publication. This is a developing story, and further information will be provided as it becomes available.

This is more than double the 5,875 BTC held by El Salvador.The data points to Bitcoin mining operations conducted by DHI, which also holds 656 Ether (ETH) and small amounts of BNB and Polygon. Arkham confirmed the mining activity by cross-referencing onchain data with satellite images of the mining facility construction at the site of the now-defunct Education City project.Bhutanโ€™s Bitcoin holdings, which represent about a quarter of the country's projected $3 billion GDP for 2024, date back to April 2019, when BTC was priced around $5,000. In May 2023, DHI partnered with Bitdeer to develop carbon-neutral mining operations in the country, and in 2024, they announced plans to increase Bhutanโ€™s mining capacity to 600 megawatts by mid-2025.In contrast, El Salvador began purchasing Bitcoin in September 2021 when prices were significantly higher, around $51,700. While the Central American nation holds 5,875 BTC valued at $331 million, its average acquisition cost of $43,900 results in an aggregate profit of 32.6%.Both Bhutan and El Salvador leverage renewable energy for their Bitcoin mining activitiesโ€”Bhutan through hydroelectric power and El Salvador via geothermal volcanic energy.

๐Ÿš€ Yawn Rong Discusses Token Incentives And AI Challenges At FarCon Asia

According to BlockBeats, on September 17, STEPN co-founder Yawn Rong spoke at FarCon Asia, the first large-scale Farcaster ecosystem offline event in Asia. During the roundtable discussion on 'Strategies and Inspirations for Online Social Interaction,' Rong emphasized the pitfalls of projects that gain popularity solely due to token incentives. He argued that such projects often end up worthless. Rong suggested that it is crucial to understand why users would want to own something on-chain beyond token incentives. He noted that if users are not willing to spend money on a product, it indicates that the product has not met their standards. Based on his analysis over the past three years, Rong believes that achieving strong growth is essential. Sustaining operations over time will lead to acquiring key users, whose spending will subsequently increase.

Rong also addressed the challenges faced by most artificial intelligence companies in figuring out how to handle their products and achieve profitability. He expressed skepticism about the ability of blockchain or cryptocurrency to solve these issues. While he is not pessimistic about AI, Rong pointed out that it is still in its early stages, and companies are primarily burning through investors' money. He believes that in the next 10 to 20 years, AI could become dominant, but it is crucial to understand how the technology will develop, particularly in terms of monetization and growth.

FarCon Asia, the first large-scale Farcaster ecosystem offline event in Asia, was co-hosted by Tako Protocol, BlockBeats, and Jam. The conference aimed to explore and showcase the innovative achievements of the Farcaster ecosystem and the future prospects of Web3 social interaction. It sought to break the stereotype of traditional financial crypto conferences being one-way outputs. The event was expected to attract over 500 attendees, including Farcaster ecosystem builders, active users in the Asian Farcaster ecosystem, venture capitalists, renowned investors, and senior researchers.

๐Ÿš€ Fed Rate Cut Decision Sparks Debate Amid Political Tensions

According to BlockBeats, with only two days remaining until the Federal Reserve's anticipated rate cut announcement on September 17, the U.S. interest rate market is divided on whether the cut will be 25 basis points or 50 basis points. Bloomberg data indicates that this is the most significant uncertainty among interest rate swap traders regarding any scheduled Fed meeting decision since the emergency rate cut in March 2020 during the pandemic, and before that, since 2007.

Former New York Fed President and Bloomberg Opinion columnist William Dudley reiterated his support for a 50 basis point cut on Monday. This shift by the Fed comes amid increasing political tensions in the United States, with less than two months remaining until the presidential election. Three Democratic senators have urged the Fed to aggressively lower the benchmark rate, including a 75 basis point cut this week, to shield the U.S. economy from potential harm.

Joe Tuckey, Head of FX Analysis at Argentex, a London-based currency risk management and payment solutions provider, stated that a more substantial rate cut by the Fed this week could likely push the dollar to new lows, while a smaller 25 basis point cut might significantly reduce currency volatility.
