CZ’s Kyrgyzstan visit highlights why state backing cannot guarantee a stablecoin exit

Changpeng Zhao’s September 5 visit to Kyrgyzstan’s crypto council coincided with President Sadyr Japarov setting a three-month deadline for new regulations. The discussion underscores that domestic approval does not ensure foreign access. USDKG, a state-linked stablecoin whose issuer is under UK sanctions, illustrates how retail holders may depend on available trading counterparties to exit.

Bitcoin faces a strange new macro reality as the Fed tightens and Treasury expands buybacks

Bitcoin’s rally began after the Treasury said it would raise the cap on selected buybacks of long-term government bonds from $2 billion to $4 billion per operation. The Fed kept rates at 3.50%–3.75%, while some officials favored another hike. Treasury support improved trading liquidity but did not produce a lasting fall in long-term yields, and higher real yields increased the opportunity cost of holding bitcoin, which generates no return.

Fed stablecoin research warns the same dollar could be counted twice in M1 or M2

A Federal Reserve staff note published Sept. 4 outlines how regulated payment stablecoins could eventually be classified in M1 or M2, but only after statistical adjustments. Without accounting for reserve assets already included in the aggregates, US versus global circulation, and economic use, a higher money-supply figure could reflect dollars being given a new wrapper rather than new purchasing power. The research represents its authors’ views and is not a Fed policy deliberation.

Bitcoin crosses line that ended four of five bear markets, but historical trap still threatens $62,000 crash

Bitcoin rose above $82,000 intraday on Sept. 3, moving past the roughly $81,800 50-week moving average that Galaxy Research identifies as a bear-market ceiling. Four of five comparable completed bear markets bottomed after the first successful weekly reclaim, but the 2021–2022 exception saw two reclaims before a fresh low. A weekly close above the line is still required.

Bitcoin may be moving beyond its four-year cycle toward a 6-to-8-year Wall Street rhythm

Bitcoin analyst Willy Woo says Bitcoin could be shifting from a halving-linked four-year cycle toward a 6-to-8-year rhythm shaped more by traditional finance’s short-term debt cycle. The article says halvings still matter, but their influence is shrinking relative to institutional money flowing through exchange-traded products, corporate treasuries and other channels.

Nearly six months later, its application remains under review while regulators have approved or converted narrower national trust-bank charters for crypto firms, focused mainly on custody, reserves and digital-asset services rather than full-service insured banking.

Regulated exchange Kalshi is preparing to seek approval for a West Texas Intermediate crude oil perpetual futures contract. The proposed product would trade 24 hours a day on weekdays but close over the weekend, potentially exposing positions to accumulated news when markets reopen.
