Senior market strategist Mike McGlone, in his latest assessment of the cryptocurrency markets, issued a notable warning that Bitcoin could fall to the $10,000 level in the long term.

McGlone stated that Tether has surpassed Ethereum by market capitalization to become the second-largest digital asset in the crypto ecosystem, which he described as a significant indicator of the transformation within the sector.

According to McGlone, Tether, a US dollar-backed stablecoin, is increasingly taking on a central role in the crypto market. The analyst notes that the adoption of the dollar as a base layer by crypto assets and the large holdings of US Treasury bonds by stablecoin issuers are strengthening ties between the US financial system and the crypto sector, which he describes as a significant technological advancement.

The analyst, referring to the approaches of US President Donald Trump’s first term and subsequent administrations towards stablecoins and cryptocurrencies, argued that Trump has gained a better understanding of the sector’s importance over time, paving the way for crypto-friendly policies in the current period.

However, McGlone noted that the surge in crypto and stock markets in recent years has reached historic proportions, and that a repeat of past financial bubbles could result in equally sharp corrections. According to the analyst, high interest rates keep inflation under control while simultaneously putting downward pressure on bond yields.

McGlone also suggested that record-high US stock markets could increase inflationary pressures, potentially leading to political consequences. Noting that a “lose-lose” scenario may be emerging in the markets, the analyst stated that Bitcoin, which has led the rise in risky assets, could similarly act as a guide in a potential downturn.

McGlone, recalling that Bitcoin has acted as a leading indicator of risk appetite in past cycles, said that if current macroeconomic conditions worsen, BTC could face the risk of testing much lower levels.

Is a new wave of sell-offs approaching? The ultimate rival of the AI bull market emerges—The "global anchor of asset pricing" breaks through the 5% super threshold

After the 10-year US Treasury yield breaks back above the critical 5% mark, it is more likely to usher in a period of high-level tug-of-war and accelerated asset differentiation. Especially before energy shocks and the significantly eased large-scale expansion of the US fiscal deficit, the conditions to quickly replicate the sharp yield decline seen at the end of 2023 are not yet fully in place.

Anthropic releases another article: What will the economy look like in the AI era?

Anthropic's economics team has released an AI economic scenario model, centered around three scenarios: moderate and gradual growth, transformative changes with GDP doubling, and an extreme situation with 15% annual growth but massive job losses among knowledge workers. The model treats work as "bundles of tasks" and analyzes AI’s enhancement and substitution effects on different types of tasks. Anthropic emphasizes that the economic outlook for 2030 is not predetermined; the key lies in how the dividends from AI are widely shared.

"New Federal Reserve News Agency": Waller's Rate Hike "Has No Way Back", Trump's "Trust" Faces Test

Nick Timiraos believes that after the higher-than-expected August CPI, the probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates this week has surged, while Waller’s hawkish stance on inflation has left himself almost "no leeway." With seven weeks before the election, whether or not Waller raises rates will directly test how long Trump's “trust” in him can last. Previously, Waller maintained a balance between the White House and the Federal Reserve by “talking less and avoiding provocation,” but after this meeting, silence will no longer serve as his shield.
