Trump Criticizes Powell Again, Claims Failure to Cut Rates Will Devastate the Real Estate Industry
Trump posted on the Truth platform, urging Federal Reserve Chairman Powell to cut interest rates as soon as possible. He criticized Powell's policies for severely impacting the real estate industry, making it difficult for people to obtain mortgages, while there is currently no significant inflation pressure. He bluntly stated that Powell is "too late," calling his performance a "disaster."
Powell to Speak This Friday Evening, Some Traders Lower Rate Cut Expectations
Federal Reserve Chairman Powell will deliver a key speech this Friday evening at the annual gathering in Wyoming. Meanwhile, the latest inflation data, which exceeded expectations, has led some traders to lower their rate cut expectations while still maintaining the view that a cut will occur next month.
Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. interest rate strategy at BMO Capital Markets, stated in a research report, "As the market prepares for Powell's speech in Jackson Hole, the biggest risk for U.S. Treasuries is that the Fed Chairman may dampen the market's widely held expectation of a rate cut in September."
Currently, about 325,000 options positions (costing around $10 million) could yield up to $100 million in profits if the Fed cuts rates by 50 basis points at the September policy meeting. Additionally, current market pricing shows an approximately 80% probability of a 25 basis point cut at the September 16-17 meeting.
BNB company Windtree Therapeutics (WINT) received a notice from Nasdaq on August 19, 2025, due to its stock price remaining below $1 for too long (Rule 5550(a)(2)). After multiple reverse splits and failing to meet the usual grace period, its common stock will be delisted from Nasdaq and traded on the OTC market starting August 21. This news caused its stock price to begin falling early this morning, ultimately closing down 77.21%, with a market cap of only $3.152 million.
Notably, WINT's stock price has maintained a textbook-like trajectory towards zero over the past year. On August 22 of last year, the stock price was $517.5, and it has since dropped 99.98%. The opening price on February 21 of this year was $4.68, and it has since fallen 97.8%. After announcing the BNB treasury strategy a month ago, the stock saw a significant increase in trading volume over several trading days (including the days leading up to the announcement), eventually reaching a recent high of $1.28 on July 18, before starting a downward trend again, with a total drop of 91.4% to date.
Previously, Windtree Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical and medical device company, with several medical projects still in clinical stages far from commercialization. According to the latest data, the company's net income for the most recent quarter was -$10.64 million, compared to -$4.04 million in the previous quarter, representing a 163.04% increase in losses. The company initially announced on July 16 that it would launch a BNB treasury strategy to raise $60 million through a securities subscription. On July 25, it announced that it had signed a new financing agreement for $520 million to purchase BNB.
Hyperliquid Now the Highest Revenue Per Capita Company Globally
Hyperliquid has now become the highest revenue per capita company globally, with an annualized revenue of $102 million per person. According to a recent interview with Jeff, Hyperliquid consists of 11 core members, and based on data from the past 30 days, its annualized revenue is approximately $1.127 billion.
Coinbase to Provide Tiered USDC Subsidies for Unsettled Contract Positions
According to Superjun, the community leader, Coinbase's derivatives have updated a new feature today, providing tiered USDC subsidies based on users' unsettled contract positions. Superjun stated, "This subsidy directly targets funding fee products like BFUSD and USDE. For example, if a user has a margin of 1 million USDC and opens a contract worth 2 million dollars, then the user's margin of 1 million USDC naturally earns an annualized return of 8%; if the user's margin reaches 10 million USDC and opens a contract worth 20 million dollars, then the user's 10 million USDC will receive an annualized return of 12%."
The U.S. Treasury will begin replenishing the Treasury General Account (TGA) in the coming weeks, planning to withdraw approximately $500 to $600 billion in liquidity from the market over the next two months.
Unlike previous rounds, this replenishment lacks a buffer: the Federal Reserve is still draining liquidity through quantitative tightening (QT), reverse repurchase agreements (RRP) are nearly exhausted, and banks are constrained by capital rules and book losses, while overseas buying from countries like Japan and China has also significantly declined. In other words, this fundraising will directly extract funds from market liquidity.
This change is particularly sensitive for the crypto market. Historical data shows that during the liquidity easing in 2021, the supply of stablecoins still expanded with the TGA rebound; however, in 2023, the supply of stablecoins has shrunk by over $5 billion, causing the crypto market to stagnate. The liquidity environment in 2025 is even tighter, and if the supply of stablecoins contracts again, high Beta assets like ETH may face larger declines relative to BTC, unless offset by ETF or corporate capital inflows.
Analysts believe that during a weak liquidity cycle, the allocation of positions between assets and the rotation of funds along the risk curve will become key variables in the market.
Industry News
Federal Reserve meeting minutes: Almost all participants at the July meeting believed it appropriate to maintain the benchmark rate in the 4.25% to 4.50% range.
The Blockchain Association and the Cryptocurrency Innovation Council condemned and resisted the American Bankers Association's (ABA) request to amend the GENIUS stablecoin bill, stating, "Amending the provisions already outlined in the GENIUS Act is unwise and fundamentally undermines the legislative framework designed to democratize the benefits of competition and advance digital financial technology. This proposed change introduces a significant policy shift that could have unintended consequences for the digital asset ecosystem and unnecessarily attempts to reimagine provisions of the GENIUS Act that have already become law."
Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) and a staunch ally of Trump, urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate two mortgage transactions by Federal Reserve Governor Cook. Pulte stated in a letter to Bondi and Justice Department official Ed Martin on August 15 that Cook "forged bank documents and property records to obtain more favorable loan terms, which may constitute mortgage fraud under criminal law." He noted that Cook purchased a property in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and secured a loan, promising to use it as his primary residence for at least a year, but two weeks later took out another mortgage in Georgia, also claiming it as his primary residence. Pulte cited four criminal law provisions, suggesting Bondi investigate for potential charges. No charges have been filed yet, and it is unclear whether Bondi will initiate an investigation.

Fluid Community Proposes Token Buyback with Three Models
Fluid's Chief Operating Officer DMH initiated a proposal on the governance forum regarding the buyback of FLUID. The proposal outlines three buyback models:
Model One is a dynamic buyback based on FDV. In this model, the percentage of revenue allocated for buybacks will depend on FLUID's FDV. If the FDV is below $500 million, 100% of the revenue will be used for buybacks, and as the FDV increases, the allocation for buybacks will decrease according to a specific curve.
Model Two is a buyback based on the 30-day time-weighted average price (TWAP). If the current price is below the 30-day TWAP, 100% of the revenue will be used for buybacks; if the current price is above the 30-day TWAP, no buybacks will occur.
Model Three is a hybrid mechanism. In a bull market, the protocol minimizes buybacks and retains revenue; in a bear market, the function curve from Model One will adjust the buyback scale based on FDV to ensure more aggressive buybacks when the token is severely undervalued.
Additionally, the proposal supports discussing the option of not conducting buybacks, allowing more revenue to be retained for growth and reinvestment.
Web 3 native AI infrastructure protocol LazAI announced that its ecosystem's AI agent launch platform Lazpad has officially ended the whitelist activity and started minting the first AI companion data anchor token (DAT) Lazbubu. Lazbubu companion DATs serve as the first entry point into the LazAI internal ecosystem, featuring memory, personality, and evolutionary capabilities, designed for long-term interaction and value creation. In the "Exploration Zone," these unminted DATs await users to shape their growth stories through on-chain decisions, conversations, and adventure records.
The month-long whitelist activity saw participation from over 50,000 users. Whitelisted users can unlock DAT blind boxes, randomly obtaining Lazbubu DATs with four rarity levels: Common, Advanced, Rare, and Legendary.
It is reported that Lazpad is an on-chain AI agent launch platform supported by LazAI's internal incentive ecosystem, transforming complex AI models into interoperable, composable, and tradable agent tokens through open and selective dual-track assetization paths. These token-based AI agents create a co-creation crowdfunding, public participation, and tripartite win-win development ecosystem for creators, investors, and the agents themselves.

Voices
Goldman Sachs analysts Will Nance and James Yaro pointed out in a recent report that whether stablecoins pegged to fiat currencies will grow to a multi-trillion dollar scale and gradually erode traditional financial services remains to be seen. The "threat" posed by stablecoins to payment services (including the consumer credit card ecosystem) is "limited," and the current overall poor performance has created a buying opportunity. Visa and Mastercard are not competitors but are "likely to play an important role in the large-scale promotion of stablecoin payments on the consumer side." Therefore, despite Circle's valuation soaring after its sensational IPO this year, Goldman Sachs is more optimistic about Robinhood's continued innovation capabilities in the cryptocurrency space.
Tom Lee: Powell's Speech on Friday May Be Interpreted as Dovish, Stock Market May Rise After Speech
Tom Lee, the newly appointed chairman of BitMine, stated on social media that in conversations with institutional investors, more people expect Federal Reserve Chairman Powell to lean hawkish in his speech this Friday, as he does not want to be cornered into cutting rates. This is just the basic situation, and the probability leans towards his statement being viewed as dovish, which means the stock market may rise after the Jackson Hole event. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell will deliver a speech on the economic outlook and the Fed's policy framework at the Kansas City Fed's annual central bank conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, at 10 AM ET on August 22 (10 PM Beijing time).

Santiment data shows that after Bitcoin fell below $113,000 and failed to sustain a rebound, retail trader sentiment plummeted in the past 24 hours, reaching its lowest level since the sell-off triggered by geopolitical conflicts on June 22.

SkyBridge Capital Founder Scaramucci: Year-End Bitcoin Price Target Remains at $180,000 to $200,000
SkyBridge Capital founder and CEO Anthony Scaramucci stated in an interview with CNBC that despite recent market pullbacks, he maintains a year-end Bitcoin price target between $180,000 and $200,000. Scaramucci pointed out that the market is currently in a consolidation phase, with institutional investor participation accelerating. Compared to three years ago, when retail investors dominated the conference atmosphere, more attendees are now institutions. He believes that some large investors' sell-offs have caused short-term market volatility, but the medium-term outlook remains optimistic, as demand continues to exceed supply. He added that both individuals and his firm SkyBridge hold significant amounts of Bitcoin and emphasized that Bitcoin's limited supply and institutional allocation demand are the core drivers of price increases.
