1. Federal Reserve's Logan Expects Banks to Use Repo Tools in September to Alleviate Liquidity Pressure

2. UBS Warns that Politicization of the Federal Reserve Could Worsen U.S. Treasury Risk Premium

UBS Global Wealth Management Chief Economist Paul Donovan stated that the increasing politicization of the Federal Reserve could lead to a higher risk premium in the U.S. bond market due to inflation uncertainty. This trend will raise real borrowing costs, increase the debt repayment pressure on the U.S. government, thereby compressing fiscal stimulus space and suppressing corporate investment. Additionally, this situation could weaken the dollar's status as a reserve currency, but it will not completely shake its dominance. Last Friday, Fed Chair Powell left room for a rate cut in September at the Jackson Hole meeting but did not clearly propose a medium-term policy framework or strongly defend the Fed's independence. Meanwhile, President Trump has been continuously pressuring the Fed to take action on rate cuts. -Original

4. UAE Marked as the Fourth Largest Government Holder of Bitcoin, with Holdings Worth $740 Million

On August 25, Arkham announced on social media that relevant addresses of the United Arab Emirates have now been marked on the Arkham platform. The UAE's Bitcoin holdings, valued at $700 million, have now been annotated on the Arkham platform. These holdings originate from Citadel's Bitcoin mining operations—this publicly listed mining company is controlled by the UAE Royal Group through the International Holding Company (IHC). Arkham stated that the UAE is the fourth largest government entity holding Bitcoin on the platform, with a total BTC holding value of nearly $740 million. Unlike the U.S. and the U.K., the UAE's Bitcoin does not come from police asset seizures but is generated through mining operations in collaboration with Citadel. To date, approximately 9,300 BTC have been mined, with at least about 6,300 still held. Citadel is 85% owned by 2pointzero, which is 100% owned by IHC. IHC is approximately 61% owned by the UAE Royal Group, which is controlled by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family. Through collaboration with Phoenix Group (a UAE-listed mining company) and the government-owned IHC, Citadel built an 80,000 square meter Bitcoin mining facility on Al Reem Island in Abu Dhabi in six months in 2022. Satellite delay images from the construction of the mining facility corroborate the timeline of on-chain mining activities. On-chain transactions between Phoenix Group and Citadel also match the amounts disclosed officially. Phoenix Group has also been marked on the Arkham platform, with its BTC holdings valued at $3.2 million. -Original
