According to Caixin on August 2nd, an insider stated in an interview regarding stablecoins that my country currently lacks a globally influential public blockchain. Another insider suggested that the construction of national backbone public chains should be led by central state-owned enterprises, while the development of industry-level public chains should be open to market competition. One insider stated, "Public chains are the infrastructure for the issuance of stablecoins. They are of vital importance and indispensable for building an independent, controllable, secure, and efficient financial infrastructure system for the digital financial era." A person familiar with policy stated, "Stablecoins must be issued on public chains. The current problem is that my country lacks a globally influential public chain, whether in Hong Kong or mainland China. If we use a US public chain, we could face political risks such as the Sino-US confrontation in the future, potentially being choked." "Next, we must increase investment in public blockchains, ensure independent control, and develop them in a tiered manner. For example, national backbone public chains should be led by central state-owned enterprises, while industry-level public chains should be open to market competition, and scenario-specific public chains should be fully market-based," another insider suggested.

According to Bijie.com, Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat and chairman of Ethereum treasury firm Bitmine Immersion (BMNR), stated that the cryptocurrency market should rebound, but some investors are unconvinced that such a rebound is real, which is precisely why the cryptocurrency market may rise. "Investors have underestimated every recovery since 2020, and this time will be no exception." Lee added that the traditional financial industry, led by Wall Street, is steadily and quietly increasing its investment in cryptocurrencies. Ethereum has benefited from Wall Street's push for tokenization. Ethereum has never experienced downtime, which is crucial for banks. Based on fundamental estimates, ETH should be $15,000 (current price $3,700). He believes the real problem is that institutional investors have underestimated ETH's acceptance, and Ethereum is only in the middle of its development.

According to Coinnet, market risk sentiment was positive this week, with reports of a trade breakthrough between the EU and the US triggering a sharp rally in global markets. Consequently, demand for the US dollar was strong, while the euro and yen fell sharply as the US's improved trade position led to a rotation into US dollar assets. A confusing non-farm payroll report, coupled with mixed corrections, impacted various asset classes. Bonds and gold rallied on safe-haven demand. Following the release of the non-farm payroll report, gold prices rose $40, erasing all previous losses, closing the week at $3,363 per ounce, up 0.79%. The following are key market events to watch in the new week: Tuesday, 9:45 PM: Final S&P Global Services PMI for July Thursday, 3:10 AM: Speaker Daly, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and a voting member of the FOMC for 2027. Thursday at 8:30 PM: US Initial Jobless Claims for the week ending August 2nd. Thursday at 10:00 PM: 2027 FOMC voting member and Atlanta Fed President Bostic will participate in a fireside chat. Thursday at 11:00 PM: New York Fed's July 1-year inflation forecast. Friday at 10:20 PM: 2025 FOMC voting member and St. Louis Fed President Moussallem will speak. The new tariffs will take effect on August 7th, instead of the previous date of August 1st, giving countries another window to negotiate a reduction. Furthermore, while two governors voted for a 25 basis point rate cut, the overall tone of the statement and Powell's comments was remarkably neutral, suggesting that while the Fed has left the door open for a September rate cut, it hasn't ruled out a rate hike if higher tariffs and a tight labor market lead to further inflation.

According to a report from Bijie.com on August 2nd, Sina Finance reported that the US stock market closed lower on August 1st, wiping out over $1 trillion in market value. This is related to the latest US tariff announcement, demonstrating the impacts of the US tariff policy are reverberating one after another. Boomerang 1: On August 1st, US President Trump announced he would fire Erica McEntuff, Director of the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. This was due to data released by the US Department of Labor showing a slight increase in the US unemployment rate in July and a significant downward revision to job growth figures for May and June. This was the first major economic indicator to signal that the US economy was in danger. Boomerang 2: On the afternoon of August 1st, Federal Reserve Board Governor Adriana Kugler unexpectedly announced her resignation, which some analysts believe may be related to the disappointing employment data. Boomerang 3: The Yale University Budget Lab stated that the US government's newly announced tariffs are the highest in nearly a century, and the average American household will lose approximately $2,400 this year. Combined with U.S. jobs data released on Friday, this is the latest sign that American households will face more difficult economic conditions in the coming months.

According to Bijie.com, on August 2nd, following the release of the non-farm payroll data yesterday, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics significantly revised downward its non-farm payroll figures for May and June. May's non-farm payroll figures were revised from 144,000 to 19,000, and June's non-farm payroll figures were revised from 147,000 to 14,000. After the revisions, the combined employment figures for May and June were 258,000 lower than before the revisions. U.S. President Trump issued a statement directly calling this a "scam against him": "In my opinion, today's jobs data was manipulated to embarrass Republicans and me - just like the 2024 presidential election, where they first produced three days of good data, and then on November 15, 2024, right after the election, they revised it significantly downward - a complete scam." Trump subsequently ordered the dismissal of Erika McEntarfer, the director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Her deputy, William Wiatrowski, will serve as acting director. In addition, Trump said early this morning: "Based on the extremely provocative remarks of former Russian President and current Deputy Chairman of the Russian Federation Security Council Medvedev, I have ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines to the corresponding area to prevent these stupid and inflammatory remarks from being more than just talk." He updated at 8 o'clock this morning that the nuclear submarine is closer to Russia.

According to Bijie.com, on August 2nd, Federal Reserve official and Powell ally Williams stated, "The labor market conditions I've observed over the past year can be described as 'modest and gradual cooling,' but overall they remain solid." Although the unemployment rate rose only slightly to 4.2% in July (from 4.1% in June), the relatively weak non-farm payroll data provided room for Powell to push for a consensus rate cut. Williams pointed out that the significant downward revisions to job growth in May and June were the real focus of the report. He said, "This information is crucial for understanding the direction of labor supply and demand, as well as the cooling trend in labor market momentum." Regarding the possibility of a September rate cut, Williams remained cautious, not endorsing the market's expectations of a rate cut, which had once reached 80.0%. He said, "The challenges facing market participants are the same as those we face as policymakers. I think the market's reaction to the signals is understandable." Williams expects US economic growth to slow to around 1.0% this year, but believes the economy is expected to recover in 2026.

According to CoinWorld, US President Trump stated in an interview with US media that he "hopes to release all documents related to the Epstein case."

According to Bijie.com, on August 2 (UTC+8), the giant whale "The White Whale" posted on the X platform: "Many people are concerned about how I am doing after the bloodbath in the market over the past 24 hours.

According to a report by Bijie.com, tokenized asset issuer Securitize published an article on the X platform stating that the BlackRock BUIDL Fund has paid out more than $62.5 million in dividends to date, with $9.3 million paid in dividends in July.

According to Bijie.com, Wang Yongli, former Vice President of the Bank of China, has published an article stating that the integration of blockchain and encryption technologies has enabled a single platform with borderless global coverage. By integrating the platform's operating rules into the system, the platform controller is no longer required as an intermediary. Users register and open accounts on a unified platform, rather than with a clearing house. Clearing houses are no longer required as transfer intermediaries. Instead, payers make their own payments, achieving direct point-to-point payments with payees. The platform system participates in distributed verification, storage, and accounting, ensuring that the entire process is transparent, traceable, and difficult to falsify. This can greatly improve efficiency and reduce costs, especially compared to the traditional cross-border payment and clearing system dominated by banks and SWIFT. Its superiority is very obvious, bringing a huge impact to the traditional payment and clearing system. This new blockchain technology and platform can now promote blockchain-native crypto assets (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.), as well as blockchain-derived crypto assets issued through ICOs (various altcoins), various stablecoins (especially fiat stablecoins pegged to fiat currencies), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), real-world asset tokens (RWA, including real data asset tokens RDA), and even tokenized stocks, tokenized bonds, tokenized money funds, etc., to achieve global 7x24 hours of uninterrupted trading and settlement on public (non-permissioned) blockchain platforms, thereby giving birth to a new borderless "crypto world" and accelerating its development. This trend requires close attention.

According to Bijie.com, on August 2 (UTC+8), more than 50 companies and institutions flocked to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority to apply for licenses. Among them were a certain state-owned energy enterprise, CITIC Group and other cross-border trade giants. These companies and institutions met with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's regulatory team to discuss the possibility of applying for stablecoin licenses. The ultimate goal of some institutions seeking licenses is still to establish stablecoins pegged to offshore RMB. Tencent News' "Qianwang" has not yet been able to obtain a comment from CITIC Group.

According to Reuters on August 2nd, the cryptocurrency craze, led by stablecoins, is exacerbating uncertainty within the US credit card duopoly. In recent earnings calls, Visa and Mastercard executives, facing new legislative developments that could accelerate the adoption of stablecoins for the first time, generally downplayed the potential threat posed by dollar-pegged digital currencies to their payment networks. While both companies have provided some comfort to the market with their stable profits and strong valuations, the surge in stablecoin operator Circle Internet Group's market capitalization, exceeding $40 billion, reveals diverging expectations in the capital market for changes in the payments sector, making it difficult for both groups of investors to maintain a balanced view.
