BlockBeats News, on August 12, Paul Grewal, Chief Legal Officer of Coinbase, posted on social media that "Today, Coinbase submitted another opinion brief to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on the agency's proposal to expand the definition of "trading platform." In short, the SEC's proposal lacks key analysis, is based on unreasonable assumptions, fails to prove the existence of any problems that require regulation, and greatly exaggerates the benefits claimed by the proposal. At the very least, the proposal should be withdrawn and revised.
The SEC failed to gather basic information and did not conduct any economic analysis of how this proposal would affect DEXs. Yet it persisted with its unjustified assumptions.
The SEC should reject extending this proposed rule to DEXs. Failing to do so could have serious implications for the millions of Americans engaging in digital assets. Not to mention the harm it could bring to innovation in the growing DEX market.
Furthermore, the SEC assumes that there is some problem with the industry that needs to be corrected, but has failed to prove that the problem exists. This is not the way to make rules. At the very least, the proposal should be withdrawn and corrected.
As always, Coinbase thanks the SEC for taking our comments seriously and looks forward to further exploring this important topic. ”

Matrixport: New OTC funds enter the market, or plan ahead for the Fed's rate cut
BlockBeats news, on August 12, Matrixport released its latest view that Bitcoin prices rebounded after the plunge last Monday. Although Bitcoin spot ETF funds are still flowing out, some people took the opportunity to buy on dips, as can be seen from the rebound in the 30-day minting ratio (black).
This shows that new fiat money has flowed into the crypto market, and investors are taking advantage of low prices, or planning ahead for the expected interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September.
BlockBeats news, on August 12, Greeks.live macro researcher Adam posted on social media that after a week of adjustment, the market has come out of the blow of the Bank of Japan's interest rate hike. The recent dovish remarks of the Bank of Japan have also given the market confidence. Although the market has been plagued by negative news, the market sentiment is relatively optimistic this week. This week's macro focus has returned to the US economic data. The probability of a rate cut in September continues to rise, which also gives the market some confidence. If this week's data gives the market confidence in a rate cut, the rebound will continue.
After a week of panic, market confidence has recovered by more than half, so the IVs of major maturities have fallen compared to last week. Currently, IVs are at a relatively high level, and there is still obvious downward pressure this week. The cryptocurrency market still maintains the wide range of fluctuations since March, among which ETH is relatively sluggish and the exchange rate has fallen sharply. Choosing the right IV at the right time can buy short-term call options, and building an inverse calendar spread is also a good choice.
In the crypto interest rate market, Bitfinex interest rate market occasionally has good interest rate orders. If you encounter a suitable interest rate order, you can actively trade it, especially when there is a market, it is worth paying special attention.
BlockBeats news, on August 13, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes said in his latest blog post that Yellen will inject at least $301 billion and up to $1.05 trillion from now until the end of the year. This will create a brilliant bull market for all risk assets, including cryptocurrencies, before the election.
Since April this year, the crypto risk market has been trading sideways, and liquidity has been drawn out of the system due to a net reduction in outstanding Treasury bills. Cash is still trapped on the Fed's balance sheet (RRP) and cannot drive up prices of financial assets.
Therefore, according to Yellen, net issuance of U.S. Treasury bills will reach $301 billion between now and the end of the year. If this relationship holds, Bitcoin will quickly give back the sell-off caused by the appreciation of the yen. The next stop for Bitcoin is $100,000.
The alt season will only return after Bitcoin and Ethereum break through $70,000 and $4,000 respectively.
Hayes also said, "This year is the best time for liquidity. Therefore, I will sell on the highs. And put the money into and stake it in Ethena USD (sUSDe). Once Yellen and Powell join forces, China will release its long-awaited fiscal stimulus plan. The US-China cryptocurrency bull market in 2025 will be brilliant."
