According to Odaily, Eugene Epstein, Head of Trading and Structured Products at Moneycorp, discussed the current state of the cryptocurrency market in a recent interview. Epstein noted that while the cryptocurrency market has experienced cyclical bull markets before, this is the first time significant hype has occurred at the government level. Despite extensive discussions, the acceptance of cryptocurrencies has reached unprecedented levels. The United States has become the largest sovereign holder of Bitcoin, primarily through judicial seizures. Data from Bitbo indicates that the U.S. holds over 200,000 Bitcoins, valued at nearly $22 billion. Epstein highlighted that the market is currently trading on the expectation that the U.S. will make substantial cryptocurrency purchases in the future. He further explained that the market has already factored in the possibility of large-scale cryptocurrency acquisitions by various levels of the U.S. government. However, if these expectations are not met, there could be a market correction. Epstein expressed skepticism about market growth unless a state-level initiative is implemented, which he anticipates would be led by the Treasury Department.

Odaily Planet Daily News: Eugene Epstein, head of trading and structured products at Moneycorp, said in an interview: "We have experienced cyclical bull markets in cryptocurrencies before, but I remember that this is the first time that the hype has really happened at the government level. So far, there has been just a lot of talk, but in terms of acceptance, this is still the furthest that cryptocurrencies have ever gone." The United States is already the largest sovereign holder of Bitcoin, mainly from judicial seizures. According to Bitbo data, the country holds more than 200,000 bitcoins, equivalent to nearly $22 billion. Epstein said that trading in the cryptocurrency market is based on the expectation that the United States will buy a lot in the future. The large-scale purchases of cryptocurrencies by governments at all levels in the United States have been digested by the market, and if expectations are not met, they may be retraced: "Unless some kind of state-level plan really starts to be implemented, it will be difficult for me to see the market rise, and I expect this will be led by the Treasury Department."

According to Odaily, as global attention remains on Donald Trump, the interest rate decisions of three Asian central banks are also vying for market focus. Following a statement by Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda last week about discussing a rate hike, analysts at Maybank predict that the Bank of Japan is likely to raise rates by 25 basis points to 0.50% on Friday. Officials have recently indicated that a clearer U.S. policy direction is another crucial factor. Maybank suggests that the yen might strengthen, as the current U.S.-Japan yield differential implies the USD/JPY rate will fall below 150. Meanwhile, the Monetary Authority of Singapore is expected to ease its policy on Friday by slightly lowering the slope of the Singapore dollar exchange rate, citing a benign inflation outlook and a more uncertain global environment. The Central Bank of Malaysia is anticipated to maintain its current stance on Wednesday, given the strong economic growth and potential inflation rise.

Odaily Planet Daily News While all parties are paying attention to Trump, the interest rate decisions of three Asian central banks will also compete for market attention. After Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda said last week that the bank would discuss raising interest rates, Maybank analysts believe that the Bank of Japan is very likely to raise interest rates by 25 basis points to 0.50% on Friday. Officials recently said that the clearer direction of US policy is another key factor. Maybank believes that the yen may strengthen because the current US-Japan yield gap means that the dollar/yen will be below 150. The Monetary Authority of Singapore will ease policy on Friday by slightly lowering the slope of the Singapore dollar exchange rate, citing a benign inflation outlook and a more uncertain global environment. The Malaysian central bank will remain on hold again on Wednesday as economic growth remains strong and inflation may rise. (Jinshi)
