Crypto analyst Crypto Rover (@rovercrc) tweeted that the markets currently expect a 92 percent chance that Federal Reserve will cut rates in September. The positivity is after a poor July jobs report, whereby the economy has been recording a decrease in the labor market, adding only 100,002 instead of expected 226,000 jobs in this report. Analysts consider that the smaller cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) will also gain in case Powell makes this step, and the former may aim to surpass the $70,000+ mark.

Most people think of bitcoin as just another asset: You buy some, throw it in cold storage and wait. Easy, right? That’s the white-collar view of bitcoin: clean, polished and abstracted. Perfect for quarterly reports and portfolio charts. But here’s the reality: Bitcoin mining is messy. It’s loud. It’s physical. Bitcoin mining is energy and infrastructure. It’s boots on the ground — not loafers on stage. Miners don’t just hold bitcoin. Miners make bitcoin. And that often overlooked reality matters more than most people realize. I’ve Lived Both Sides Before I started mining, I was deeply involved in the solar…

Coinbase has urged US lawmakers to modernize the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) by incorporating Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) into the country’s financial compliance framework. In an Aug. 4 statement, Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal argued that ZKPs could enhance financial transparency while simultaneously protecting consumer privacy. Why Zero-Knowledge Proofs? According to him, the existing Know-Your-Customer (KYC) process mandated by the BSA poses security risks, as it is often stored in large, centralized databases vulnerable to cyberattacks. While he noted that the collected information frequently goes unused, he pointed out that they remains an attractive target for criminals. Considering this, he…

Bitcoin ETFs also saw substantial outflows, bleeding $333 million after Friday’s $812 million, suggesting that institutional capital is not as sanguine as the spot market. Meantime, long-term bullishness has evaporated from BTC options…
