VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsThe unique value of Proof-of-Work (PoW) tokens lies in their mining mechanism and regulatory positioning. Research shows that mining costs are a defining feature of PoW tokens, involving significant investment in hardware and electricity. When market prices approach miners' breakeven points, miners tend to hold onto their coins in anticipation of future appreciation. This behaviour reduces circulating supply, shifts the supply-demand balance, and may contribute to price increases. Regulatory clarity is also critical to the investment appeal of PoW tokens. Both BTC and LTC are classified as commodities by the U.S. SEC rather than securities, which simplifies the ETF approval process. In January 2024, the approval of the BTC spot ETF triggered significant institutional inflows. LTC is currently undergoing the ETF application process. While DOGE and KAS have not yet received formal classification, their PoW nature may position them for similar treatment. Together, these factors enhance market liquidity and attract more institutional investors.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsIn recent weeks, increasing risk-averse sentiment and a decrease in demand for leverage have resulted in a significant decline in yields across Earn products. On major DeFi platforms, stablecoin yields have dropped below 4%, while on centralised exchanges, yields on stablecoin-based Earn products are now around 2%. In contrast, Bitget HodlerYield provides users with a 10% APR on stablecoins, without a 7-day cooldown for withdrawals or claims. Funds can be deposited and redeemed instantly, offering greater convenience and flexibility.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsThe RWA (Real-World Assets) sector has been gaining significant traction in the crypto space, as it tokenises traditional assets like real estate and bonds to bridge the gap between TradFi and DeFi. This process unlocks trillions of dollars in potential value, while enabling broader access to high-value investments through asset fractionalisation, increased liquidity, and lower entry barriers. RWA also diversifies and stabilises DeFi collateral options, addressing the sector's over-reliance on crypto-native assets and paving the way for large-scale adoption. With regulatory frameworks becoming clearer worldwide, the compliance advantages of RWAs are increasingly evident—drawing in institutional capital. What sets RWA projects apart is their connection to real-world income streams like rent and interest payments, offering more sustainable returns than purely speculative assets. These cash-flow-generating features appeal to investors seeking steady returns. As such, RWA is seen as a crucial step in the evolution of blockchain technology from concept to practicality. Its development potential and practical use cases make it an important sector in the crypto industry today.
- 17:33Anchorage Digital has applied for a Federal Reserve master account.Foresight News reported that crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett stated in a post that, according to the latest disclosures from the Federal Reserve database, Anchorage Digital has applied for a Federal Reserve Master Account. Previously, in June this year, she had asked Nathan McCauley, co-founder and CEO of the US crypto bank Anchorage Digital, whether they had applied for a Federal Reserve Master Account, but he declined to comment at that time. The Master Account is the operational foundation that allows banks to settle transactions directly with the central bank and hold balances at the Federal Reserve. Without such access, banks must use third-party intermediaries to process payments. If Anchorage Digital obtains a Master Account, it could become the first crypto bank able to hold assets other than digital currencies in the same way as traditional financial institutions.

- 04:46Société Générale: After the Fed decision, market focus returns to inflation dataJinse Finance reported that Société Générale stated the Federal Reserve's decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points was in line with general expectations and was not disappointing. Although our unconventional forecast of a 50 basis point rate cut did not materialize, as we mentioned last week, if the September meeting decides on a 25 basis point cut, it is very likely that there will be additional 25 basis point cuts in both October and December, which is indeed confirmed by the median in the dot plot. We also note that the Federal Reserve expects the interest rate level to reach 3.38% by the end of 2026, which is consistent with our forecast but nearly 50 basis points higher than current market pricing. Next week, the market's focus will shift entirely to personal income and expenditure data and the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation indicator—the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE).
