According to BlockBeats, on September 4, Rune, co-founder of Sky (formerly Maker), discussed the possibility of implementing a decentralized appeal process for the new cryptocurrency stablecoin USDS as part of its freezing function.
USDS will not have a freezing function upon its launch. However, if the governing body decides to add this feature, it can be upgraded. Should this function be implemented, users whose USDS are frozen could leverage decentralized governance to ensure transparency and due process.
Rune mentioned that it is unclear when or if the USDS freezing function will be introduced. He emphasized that it would require extensive legal, political, and regulatory analysis, as well as a thorough design process completed by Sky's decentralized governance body.#Sky #USDS #Decentralized #Cryptocurrency #Stablecoin #Governance #Transparency #Legal #Regulatory #Blockchain

π US Treasury Bonds Expected to Extend Gains, Says Analyst
#USTreasuryBonds #MarketTrends #SafeHavenAssets #FederalReserve #InterestRates #CurveSteepening #CorporateBonds #FinancialAnalysis
According to BlockBeats, on September 4, Pepperstone Senior Research Strategist Michael Brown stated in a report that U.S. Treasury bonds might continue their upward trend from Tuesday. The gains on Tuesday were led by long-term bonds, although they might be somewhat restrained by the issuance of a large number of new corporate bonds.
Brown noted that while the demand for safe-haven assets might sustain these gains, if this demand persists over the next few trading days, the market could start to reprice the Federal Reserve's outlook in a more hawkish direction. This could lead to another sell-off in short-term Treasury bonds and a new round of curve steepening.
He added that the current expectations in the money market for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 100 basis points by the end of the year remain overly optimistic.#USTreasuryBonds #MarketTrends #SafeHavenAssets #FederalReserve #InterestRates #CurveSteepening #CorporateBonds #FinancialAnalysis

According to BlockBeats, on September 4, CoinDesk reported that the crypto derivatives protocol Volmex Finance introduced a new implied volatility index for the SOL token on Tuesday.

Volmex stated that the SVIV index gauges the anticipated volatility of SOL over the next 14 days, adding that traders can monitor this index to understand the potential price swings of SOL in either direction over the upcoming two weeks. Volmex also mentioned plans to eventually launch longer-term implied volatility indices for SOL, including a widely tracked 30-day index and related derivatives, enabling market participants to bet on volatility.
Volatility trading refers to profiting from the degree of price fluctuations rather than the direction of the price. Traders use tools such as options tied to the underlying asset and futures linked to volatility indices to bet on or hedge against volatility.#VolmexFinance #SOLToken #ImpliedVolatilityIndex #CryptoDerivatives #VolatilityTrading #PriceFluctuations #Traders #Futures #Options

π Bitcoin Mining Profitability Hits Record Low Amid Rising Difficulty
#Bitcoin #Mining #Profitability #Difficulty #MarketCapitalization #JPMorgan #Blockchain #Hashrate #Crypto #Economics #BTC
According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin mining profitability has reached a record low, as reported by JPMorgan in a recent research report. The aggregate market capitalization of U.S.-listed Bitcoin miners tracked by the bank fell by 15% last month. The report highlighted that mining difficulty increased by 9% from the previous month.
JPMorgan analysts Reginald Smith and Charles Pearce noted that Bitcoin miners earned an average of $43,600 per exahash per second (EH/s) in daily block reward revenue in August, marking the lowest point on record. This is a significant drop from the peak value of $342,000 in November 2021, when Bitcoin's price was $60,000 and the network hashrate was 161 EH/s.
The decline in mining stocks was attributed to the falling average price of Bitcoin for the third consecutive month and the rising network hashrate. The total market cap of the 14 U.S.-listed miners tracked by JPMorgan shrank to $20 billion, with only three miners outperforming Bitcoin during this period. The network hashrate, which serves as a proxy for competition and mining difficulty, averaged 631 EH/s in August, up 16 EH/s from the previous month and about 20 EH/s below pre-halving levels.
JPMorgan also noted that mining difficulty rose by 9% last month and is now 4% higher than before the halving. There was a brief spike in transaction fees in August, reaching as much as 120% of the block reward, which provided an incremental positive for miners. Additionally, Bitcoin's annualized volatility increased to 62% in August, up from 45% in July.#Bitcoin #Mining #Profitability #Difficulty #MarketCapitalization #JPMorgan #Blockchain #Hashrate #Crypto #Economics #BTC
π Banks Interested In Bitcoin But Face Regulatory Hurdles, Says Cantor Fitzgerald CEO
#Bitcoin #RegulatoryHurdles #CantorFitzgerald #TradFi #FinancialInstitutions #Crypto #Investment #GlobalFinance #BTC
According to CoinDesk, Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick has stated that traditional financial companies are eager to engage in bitcoin transactions as a new asset class but are hindered by current U.S. regulatory requirements. Lutnick highlighted that the regulatory environment is the primary reason banks do not hold bitcoin, as they would need to set aside an equivalent amount of their own money, effectively putting it 'in jail.' He emphasized that a favorable regulatory environment would lead to a significant increase in traditional financial companies investing in bitcoin.
Lutnick made these remarks in a post on X, noting that bitcoin is currently an 'outsider to the TradFi community' and is only beginning to integrate into global finance. He reiterated that if regulatory conditions were more accommodating, traditional financial institutions would fully embrace bitcoin.
Cantor Fitzgerald, which announced plans to open a bitcoin financing business in June, owns a substantial amount of bitcoin. The firm plans to launch its bitcoin financing business with $2 billion in lending, providing leverage to BTC holders. Additionally, Cantor Fitzgerald already manages U.S. Treasury trading with stablecoin issuer Tether.#Bitcoin #RegulatoryHurdles #CantorFitzgerald #TradFi #FinancialInstitutions #Crypto #Investment #GlobalFinance #BTC
