Analysis: A-shares are siphoning funds from the cryptocurrency market, but the upward momentum is hard to sustain

ChainCatcher news, recently, the Chinese stock market has rebounded under the impetus of government stimulus policies, but this rise may be siphoning off funds from the crypto market, affecting the rise of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Since September 24, the Shanghai Composite Index has risen by more than 20%, reaching a new high since May 2023. However, the price of Bitcoin has remained around $64,000 after China's stimulus policies, maintaining a consolidation period of $50,000 to $70,000 for six months.Market observers point out that despite the Chinese government launching an economic stimulus plan exceeding 7.5 trillion yuan, which is widely seen as a super positive news for Bitcoin and other risk assets, the price of Bitcoin has not seen a significant increase. Danny Chong, co-founder of the Singapore Digital Asset Association, stated that this capital shift may be temporary, and once the upward trend in the Chinese stock market stabilizes, funds are expected to flow back into the crypto market.Traditional market analysts believe that China's latest stimulus measures have not addressed fundamental economic issues and may not lead to a long-term rise in the stock market. TS Lombard noted in a report on October 2 that unless some fundamental issues, such as fixing the banks' balance sheets, are resolved, any attempts to increase lending and leverage risk-taking may fail. BCA Research also stated that the rise in the Chinese stock market may not be sustainable.

4E: US August PCE data boosts rate cut expectations, US stocks and cryptocurrency markets continue to rise

ChainCatcher news, data released on Friday showed that the U.S. core PCE in August was below market expectations, with a year-on-year increase of 2.2%, close to the Federal Reserve's 2% target. The cooling inflation has strengthened market expectations for the Federal Reserve to continue cutting interest rates in the coming months, with the probability of a 50 basis point rate cut in November rising from 49.3% to 54.1%.According to 4E observations, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.59% last week, the S&P 500 index increased by 0.62%, and the Nasdaq rose by 0.95%, marking the third consecutive week of gains for all three major indices. Bitcoin saw a cumulative increase of nearly 4% last week, marking three weeks of gains and heading towards the best September in history. Under the expectation of continued rate cuts, the U.S. dollar index fell for four consecutive weeks, erasing all gains since mid-July. Spot gold hit a new historical high last week, rising 1.38%, with an increase of nearly 30% this year, surpassing the S&P 500 index's 20% gain, driven by rate cuts from major central banks like the U.S. and China, along with ongoing tensions in the Middle East.With inflation falling in Europe and the U.S., and the pace of global central bank rate cuts accelerating, this will provide strong momentum for the stock and cryptocurrency markets. eeee.com is a financial trading platform that supports assets such as cryptocurrencies, stock indices, bulk gold, and foreign exchange. U.S. non-farm payroll data for September will be released this Friday; if it performs strongly, it will further boost expectations for a 50 basis point rate cut in November. 4E reminds you to pay attention to market volatility risks and to allocate assets wisely.

Arthur Hayes: The Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts will lead to a weaker dollar, and the global wave of monetary easing presents opportunities for the cryptocurrency market

ChainCatcher news, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes posted on social media that based on the Federal Reserve's historical responses to high volatility, we know that once they start cutting interest rates, they usually continue to lower them until rates are close to 0%. The Federal Reserve will continue to cut rates, and the banking system will continue to release more dollars. Regardless of who wins the U.S. presidential election, the government will also continue to borrow to gain public support. Economic difficulties will be addressed through lower euro rates set by the European Central Bank. Meanwhile, governments will begin to pressure banks to lend more to local businesses to provide job opportunities and rebuild the increasingly crumbling infrastructure.As the Federal Reserve cuts rates and U.S. banks issue more credit, the dollar will weaken. This provides an opportunity for the Chinese government to increase credit growth while maintaining the stability of the RMB to USD exchange rate. If the Federal Reserve prints money, the People's Bank of China can take similar measures. This week, the PBOC announced a series of interest rate cuts across the Chinese financial system. This is just the beginning; the real "big weapon" will emerge when banks issue more credit. If other major economies are now easing monetary policy, the pressure on the Bank of Japan to raise rates quickly will decrease.Major global economies are once again suppressing the volatility of their countries or economies by lowering the cost of funds and increasing the supply of funds. If you have fully invested in cryptocurrencies, relax and watch the fiat value of your portfolio soar. If you still have some fiat funds, seize the opportunity to enter the crypto market.

TOKEN2049 Roundtable: Wealth Created by the Stock Market Will Flow Back to the Cryptocurrency Market Again

ChainCatcher live report, Dragonfly General Partner Tom Schmidt, DeFiance Capital Founder Arthur Cheong, VanEck Digital Asset Fund Manager Pranav Kanade, and Multicoin Capital Managing Partner Tushar Jain attended the TOKEN 2049 conference and reflected on the current strategic allocation in the crypto market during the panel titled "Institutional Crypto Allocation: Liquid vs Venture." They pointed out the risks that overly aggressive investment strategies may bring and emphasized the importance of learning from past market fluctuations. At the same time, the guests noted that although some crypto investment strategies performed exceptionally well over the past year, achieving gains of up to 120%, the overall market increase was only around 50%.Regarding the question that investors are generally concerned about—"Why choose specific crypto investment strategies over other equally performing strategies," the guests unanimously agreed that the professional capabilities of investment managers and their keen insights into market trends are key factors. They believe that paying management fees merely to hold assets is logically unsound, and the management of liquid funds relies more on expertise than simple exposure.When discussing the reasons for the differences in asset performance, market sentiment became an important topic. The guests pointed out that market sentiment is largely influenced by beliefs and expectations, leading to vastly different performances of various assets in the market. Additionally, the uniqueness of the crypto market requires investors to have a higher awareness of risk and strategic vision.Regarding the future prospects of the crypto market, the guests generally held an optimistic attitude. They emphasized that "the influx of retail capital in 2021 was partly due to the wealth created in the stock market ultimately flowing into cryptocurrencies, and the same thing will happen again." They believe that although the market may face volatility and challenges in the short term, in the long run, cryptocurrencies, as part of the emerging financial system, cannot be overlooked in terms of their value and potential. They also mentioned that each manager's strategy varies slightly, but all will closely monitor changes in the market and token economics.
