According to a report by Reuters, Tether's Bitcoin mining project in Uruguay has ultimately come to a halt due to a power supply contract dispute with the local state-owned electricity company UTE, with an estimated investment scale of about $120 million. The two parties have differences regarding the contracted power supply amount, with Tether believing the relevant figure is the minimum guaranteed supply, while UTE considers it the maximum supply limit.Due to the failure to sign a new agreement and overdue electricity payments, UTE cut off power supply to two mining sites on July 25, 2025. Tether subsequently ended its local operations and laid off most of its employees. The Uruguay project was seen by Tether as the "first step" into the South American Bitcoin mining market. However, Tether continues to expand its regional energy and mining layout, having previously acquired a 70% stake in the renewable energy company Adecoagro and plans to utilize its remaining electricity for Bitcoin mining.

Bitcoin recently rose to a monthly high, with Bitfinex analysts stating that this round of market activity is primarily driven by spot buying and short covering, rather than new leveraged funds, thus providing a longer duration compared to typical short squeeze scenarios. As investors who bought Bitcoin in the past five months are currently in a profit state, the main risk of the current upward trend comes from profit-taking chips flowing into trading platforms.Bitfinex believes that the U.S. Treasury's announcement on August 19 to expand the scale of long-term bond repurchases is an important factor driving the recent market activity. The initial phase of this rise was indeed driven by short liquidations. On the same day, the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF recorded an inflow of $297.6 million. However, the subsequent price increase mainly came from spot buying. From the position structure, while Bitcoin prices rose by 10% to 11%, open interest (OI) only increased by about 4%, indicating that spot demand and short covering played a major role, while the impact of leveraged funds was limited.Bitfinex pointed out that the $68,000 to $69,000 range is currently an important support level, close to the average cost of buyers over the past five months. If Bitcoin maintains above this level, it will keep these investors in a profitable state, reducing the pressure of previously trapped chips selling during rebounds. In terms of funds, the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF saw an inflow of $606.29 million on August 20, the largest single-day inflow since May 1, with BlackRock's IBIT contributing about 82%. Bitfinex stated that if fund inflows continue for a week, it will further strengthen the market demand structure.However, Bitfinex warns that the current biggest risk is a large amount of profitable Bitcoin flowing into trading platforms, which could trigger the largest profit-taking market since 2026. Analysts indicate that if real yields rise again to levels that previously suppressed Bitcoin from falling below $65,000, macro factors could still quickly impact the market.
