BTC reclaimed $60K overnight and is stabilizing at these levels, fully reversing last Monday’s sell-off. BTC even ticked higher when Bitgo moved $2B of Mt. Gox BTC last night. This could signal that the market is beginning to disregard this supply factor.

ETH spot ETFs continue to attract inflows, marking a 2-day winning streak and drawing $24.3 million in net inflows on Tuesday.

Last night’s softer US PPI print shifted market expectations towards a 50bps rate cut in September by the Fed, with the probability now at 52.5% for 50bps versus 47.5% for 25bps.

All eyes are on tonight’s US CPI print. A soft CPI could support a recovery in risk assets like equities and crypto on the back of anticipated Fed rate cuts.

Trade Idea

With consistent ETF inflows and BlackRock buying the dip last week, crypto seems relatively well supported. However with no major catalysts on the horizon, we anticipate limited major breakouts until Q4.

Risk Warning on Digital Payment Digital Services
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) requires us to provide this risk warning to you as a customer of a digital payment token (DPT) service provider.

 

Before you pay your DPT service provider any money or DPT, you should be aware of the following.

 

Your DPT service provider is an exempt payment services provider pending licensing under the Payment Services Act (2019) to provide DPT services. Please note that this does not mean you will be able to recover all the money or DPTs you paid to your DPT service provider if your DPT service provider’s business fails.

 

You should not transact in the DPT if you are not familiar with this DPT. This includes how the DPT is created, and how the DPT you intend to transact is transferred or held by your DPT service provider.

 

You should be aware that the value of DPTs may fluctuate greatly. You should buy DPTs only if you are prepared to accept the risk of losing all of the money you put into such tokens.

 

You should be aware that your DPT service provider, as part of its licence to provide DPT services, may offer services related to DPTs which are promoted as having a stable value, commonly known as “stablecoin”.
