ChainCatcher news, Spartan Group analysis indicates that in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Trump not only won the election with an overwhelming advantage, but the Republican Party also took control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives. This victory provides significant leverage for driving policy changes, and it is expected to be very favorable for the crypto industry in the next 12 months.The article points out that the difference in this election lies in the importance of the crypto agenda. Trump and his core advisors are crypto-friendly, and crypto companies provided substantial support during the election. Additionally, Trump expressed a desire for the U.S. to become a global crypto hub. Currently, the U.S. is a leader in crypto infrastructure, mining, and trading, but the new government's policies may further solidify this position.Historical data shows that the 12 months following a U.S. election are typically a strong performance period for crypto assets. The clarity of policies resulting from the election and the overlapping effects of the BTC halving cycle may shift market sentiment towards risk appetite, particularly benefiting the performance of small and medium-sized tokens. Spartan Group believes that as the "altcoin season" approaches, the crypto market will see more upward potential in the coming year.

ChainCatcher news, QCP Capital's latest analysis points out that the Federal Reserve's hawkish FOMC meeting triggered a comprehensive sell-off of risk assets, with the Nasdaq plummeting 3.56%, the S&P 500 falling 2.95%, and Bitcoin dropping by 6.13%. Although the market expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 25 basis points, the downward adjustment of the dot plot has caused panic. Due to persistent inflation, the Federal Reserve is expected to cut rates only twice by 2025, which is below the market's general expectation of three times.QCP Capital believes that while it is easy to attribute this round of sell-off to the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance, the fundamental reason for the market crash lies in the previously overly optimistic market sentiment. Since the U.S. elections, risk assets have experienced a one-sided upward trend, making the market extremely sensitive to any negative news.

ChainCatcher news, Grayscale Investments and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) submitted the 19b-4 filing for a Solana ETF to the U.S. SEC yesterday. With Grayscale's involvement, the only major crypto ETF issuers that have not yet applied for a Solana ETF are BlackRock, Fidelity, ProShares, and Ark. Notably, none of these proposed Solana ETFs will provide staking rewards to investors.This is not voluntary. Solana ETF issuers followed the precedent set by Ethereum ETFs, excluding staking rewards to comply with SEC guidelines. The details of the dialogue between Ethereum ETF issuers and the SEC remain unclear. However, the SEC seems concerned that staking rewards could be classified as securities, as well as the potential forfeiture risks associated with staking ETH.Therefore, when they began applying for the Solana ETF, these institutions opted out of staking from the start. Nevertheless, the issuers have repeatedly insisted that despite the lack of staking rewards, gaining compliant exposure to Solana directly in brokerage accounts makes these products still attractive.However, for Solana, the opportunity cost of forgoing staking is much higher than for Ethereum. According to the Ethereum Foundation, the current staking annual yield for Ethereum is 3.4%. According to data from 21.co, the average staking annual yield for Solana over the past week is 11.4%. The staking rewards for SOL are not always that high, but even in the relatively sluggish month of August, its yield exceeded 8%.

ChainCatcher news, Bank of America’s renowned strategist Hartnett pointed out that the current market reaction to a 50 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve seems to be following the script of "soft landing" or "panic rate cuts." The U.S. stock and credit markets are digesting expectations of a 250 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve by the end of 2025, along with an 18% growth in earnings for S&P 500 constituents. "The risks haven't improved much, so investors are forced to chase the 'uptrend,' and the 'bubble risk' is making a comeback."Regarding the reasons for this euphoric rise, Hartnett explained in his latest report that when there is no panic (at least not yet), Wall Street's favorite is "panic rate cuts." At the same time, the Federal Reserve hopes to cut rates by 50 basis points so that real interest rates can decline from their highest levels this century, preventing layoffs in the small business sector that is already in recession.
