Institutional Ethereum reserves surge, Derive claims Q4 has explosive potential

PANews September 3 news, according to The Block, Derive founder Nick Forster stated that last week, listed companies increased their holdings by about 330,000 ETH, surpassing the 250,000 ETH held by the US spot Ethereum ETF. Currently, strategic reserve-type companies hold about 4% of the total ETH supply, while ETFs hold 5.5%. Derive expects that by the end of the year, institutions may accumulate 6-10% of the supply. The short-term implied volatility of ETH options has dropped to 63%. BRN analysts pointed out that some companies increasing their holdings can hedge against the outflow of ETF funds, with ETH currently trading at about $4,320, down about 6% for the week.

1confirmation founder: The institutional holdings structure of Ethereum is healthier than that of Bitcoin.

Nick Tomaino, the founder of 1confirmation, believes that the flaw in Strategy lies in the disproportion between Michael Saylor's shares and voting rights. He holds 10% of the shares but controls 45% of the voting rights, which raises doubts in Wall Street about his wealthy intentions. He pointed out that, in contrast, other companies like SBET and ETHZ are not monopolized by a single individual, and therefore Wall Street's support for ETH will differ from that of BTC.

"Fed's Mouthpiece": Expected overall PCE inflation rate in July to be relatively mild, with a year-on-year rise of 2.6%.

BlockBeats news, on August 18, Nick Timiraos, a Wall Street Journal reporter known as the "Fed's mouthpiece," posted on social media that economists expect the core PCE inflation rate for July to be 0.28% (annualized at 3.4%) after converting CPI and PPI data into the PCE index, which will raise the year-on-year increase to 2.9%. The overall PCE inflation rate is expected to be relatively moderate, with a month-on-month increase of 0.21% and a year-on-year increase maintained at 2.6%.

ChatGPT Director: GPT-5 still has "hallucination" issues, suggesting users verify answers.

Jin10 data reported on August 17 that despite the launch of the new GPT-5 model, ChatGPT still has the potential for errors. A senior executive from OpenAI emphasized this point again this week. Nick Tilly, the head of ChatGPT, pointed out in an interview: "There is a significant discontinuity between being reliable and being completely reliable." He further explained, "Unless we can prove that ChatGPT is more reliable than human experts in all areas, and not just in certain areas, we will continue to advise you to double-check the answers."

1confirmation founder: The treasury company model requires tokens to have long-term value storage functions.

Odaily News 1 confirmation Founder Nick Tomaino stated that currently many coin holders hope to rescue their assets through treasury companies, but this model is only effective when the market generally recognizes that the related crypto assets have value storage functions. He pointed out that no one is willing to entrust assets to insiders who engage in fraudulent activities, which is also a significant distinction between tokens that can neutrally and credibly serve as value storage and so-called "company coins."

Opinion: The record net outflow of Ethereum ETFs in a single day indicates a short-term profit pullback and does not represent a decline in institutional interest.

Nick Ruck, the head of research at LVRG, and Vincent Liu, the Chief Information Officer at Kronos Research, stated that although the US Ethereum Spot ETF experienced the largest single-day net outflow, this may only reflect short-term profit pullback and risk-averse sentiment, and does not indicate a decline in institutional demand.

Analyst: Yen outlook under pressure, the Bank of Japan may maintain a wait-and-see approach.

Jin10 data July 21, ATFX Global Markets Chief Market Analyst Nick Twidale stated that uncertainty may ultimately be unfavourable for the yen. Despite the emergence of safe-haven buying, the results that met expectations triggered a pullback. The greater risk lies in subsequent developments, with the stock market likely to experience dumping due to uncertainty. If Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba ultimately resigns, the yen may weaken further. In the short term, the Central Bank of Japan will maintain a wait-and-see approach and continue to observe data until future policy direction becomes clear.

Fed spokesperson: Today's CPI report has the characteristic of being "open to interpretation".

Jin10 data reported on July 15, "Fed mouthpiece" Nick Timiraos commented on the U.S. June CPI data: today's CPI report has the characteristic of "you can choose your own interpretation angle." The core CPI rose 0.23% month-on-month in June, which is exactly the median of the monthly increases in core CPI over the past 12 months (that is to say, there were 6 months above this level and 6 months below this level). This number is slightly moderate, a bit lower than some forecasters' expectations. But the key point is that most forecasters believe that the more obvious tariff effects will be seen in July and August, while the performance of commodity prices in June was relatively stronger. Therefore, if you originally thought that the price impact driven by tariffs was still to come, this report will not change your view. Similarly, if you initially believed that the transmission of inflation would be slower and the impact smaller, then this report will not shake your original judgment.

"The Federal Reserve (FED) Echo Chamber": Minutes show that the Federal Reserve is divided into three major factions.

PANews July 10 news, according to Jin10 reports, "The Federal Reserve's mouthpiece" Nick Timiraos stated that the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes revealed some things we already knew. Officials are divided into three main camps regarding the interest rate path: ① a rate cut within the year but excluding July (the mainstream camp), ② keeping rates unchanged for the whole year, ③ advocating immediate action at the next meeting (the minutes show that only a "minority" of participants supported this, implying that it includes The Federal Reserve Board of Governors Waller and Bowman). The minutes also pointed out that "a few participants expressed that the target range for the federal funds rate may not be much higher than the neutral level at this time." In other words, unless the economy significantly slows down, even if a rate cut is restarted, the subsequent room for further cuts will be very limited.

1confirmation founder: firmly supports Ethereum, without it the industry cannot continue to evolve.

BlockBeats news, on July 5, Nick Tomaino, founder of the crypto venture capital firm 1confirmation, stated, "We firmly support Ethereum because without it, this industry cannot continue to move forward. The values of trust, neutrality, open source, and permissionless innovation must be continually spread. Some currently popular trends, such as venture capital chains and corporate adoption of Ethereum vault strategies, are actually unrelated to these values. This does not mean they are bad. They could be good." But as Hal Finney said 33 years ago: "Computers can be used to liberate and protect people, not to control them."

Institutions: The dollar may continue to be under pressure before the end of the suspension period for reciprocal tariffs.

Jin10 Data June 26 - On Thursday, the US dollar fell to multi-year lows against the euro and Swiss franc, as concerns over the future independence of The Federal Reserve (FED) undermined confidence in the robustness of the US monetary policy. Nick Rees, Head of Macroeconomic Research at Monex Europe, stated that from a market perspective, this not only clearly undermines the credibility and independence of the FED, but also poses risks to the US Intrerest Rate outlook. These concerns have put pressure on the dollar today. Before the expiration of the "reciprocal tariff" suspension period on July 9, remarks from the Trump team may further increase pressure on the dollar.

The Wall Street Journal: If Trump announces Powell's successor early, it may backfire.

Jin10 data reported on June 26, the Wall Street Journal reporter, "The Federal Reserve (FED) mouthpiece" Nick Timiraos and his colleague Brian Schwartz mentioned in a jointly published article that the early announcement of the Federal Reserve chairman candidate poses disadvantages for both Trump and the nominee. This could put the incoming chairman in an awkward position: if he publicly criticizes colleagues he will work with at the Federal Reserve (whose support is crucial for his confirmation in the Senate), the market may see him as merely a sycophant catering to the president; on the other hand, if he chooses to defend the Federal Reserve's policies, he risks angering Trump and losing the position before officially taking office.

Is Waller catering to Trump's preferences? The "Federal Reserve's mouthpiece" commented this way.

Jin10 data reported on June 20 that Federal Reserve Board Governor Waller suddenly voiced support for a rate cut in July, sparking speculation that "he wants to run for the shadow chairman of the Federal Reserve." In response, "The Federal Reserve's mouthpiece" Nick Timiraos stated that Waller is expected to be one of the dark horse candidates for Federal Reserve Chairman next year. His early expression of the view that "inflation is not the most concerning issue at the moment" is a clever strategy, especially as the impact of tariffs gradually becomes apparent; this position may come in handy. Unlike other potential candidates, Waller has not consistently maintained hawkish rhetoric over the past decade, and his stance will not seem contradictory in the face of a president who leans towards dovish policies. Unlike the current chairman, Waller does not have to bear the burden of "two misjudgments on the inflation issue," as this will not become part of his historical legacy.

Monex: The Bank of England's interest rate cut pace remains unchanged, and voting differences have a limited impact on future actions.

Jin10 reported on June 19 that NICK REES, head of macro research at Monex, stated that the Bank of England still appears to be sticking to a pace of cutting interest rates once a quarter. Although some comments have begun to downplay the speed of rate cuts initially suggested by Bailey, it seems to remain part of their plan, even if it is not an official statement. The biggest highlight of this meeting was the 6 to 3 voting split. This is seen as dovish in market consensus, and the market will interpret signals from this, but I believe it has limited impact on the Bank of England's specific actions in the future.

The Federal Reserve (FED) spokesperson: The Federal Reserve (FED) opens the door for interest rate cuts in the second half of the year, with significant divisions among officials.

On June 19, Nick Timiraos, the "mouthpiece of the Federal Reserve", issued an article saying that the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged this time, leaving the possibility of interest rate cuts in the second half of this year. To resume the rate cuts that began last year, Fed officials may need to see a softer labor market or stronger evidence that tariff-induced price increases will be relatively modest. Released projections show that officials are open to evidence before the fall. The new interest rate projections highlight the disagreement among the 19 officials. Ten of them expect to cut rates at least twice this year, a smaller percentage than in March, and two expect one rate cut. At the same time, seven believe that there will be no change this year, up from four in March.

Analysis: The regulatory progress of DeFi and stablecoins, along with the spillover effects of Bitcoin, drive strong inflows into Ethereum ETFs.

According to Gate News bot, Ethereum spot ETF has had net inflows for 18 consecutive trading days, with strong momentum. Nick Ruck, director of research at LVRG, said: "With the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) hinting at a possible exemption for DeFi, investors are increasingly believing that ETH is undervalued, especially as Bitcoin hit new all-time highs and altcoins rose to all-time highs last year. "The Pectra upgrade to the Ethereum network, which was launched earlier this year, reinforces the positive market momentum by addressing the scalability and cost-effectiveness issues faced by developers." In addition to price action, institutional investors are turning to Ethereum's ecosystem to launch innovative financial products and solidify their position in the crypto space," Ruck said, "Regulatory clarity, institutional adoption, and keeping up with broader market momentum combine to highlight Ethereum as a promising investment for bullish crypto investors." At the same time, another analyst noted that Ethereum ETFs have largely benefited from the spillover effect of Bitcoin's bullish sentiment.

1confirmation founder: The differences between a trustworthy neutral value storage and company coins are enormous, with potential market capitalization exceeding 1 trillion dollars.

Odaily News 1confirmation founder Nick Tomaino stated on the X platform that there is a significant difference between trustworthy neutral value storage and "company coin." Understanding this is key to becoming wealthy or poor in Crypto Assets. Company coins have a higher internal shareholding ratio, highly coordinated marketing narratives, and jurisdiction. Early purchases can make you a fortune, but you must seize the opportunity and sell before the market conditions ultimately end. Value depends on revenue (just like a company), and the room for rise is limited. Hype will always be intense, but there will always be new shiny targets worth chasing. A trustworthy and neutral value storage method has a low internal holding ratio, an effective early global ownership distribution mechanism, decentralized marketing, and is not subject to judicial jurisdiction. Value is based on belief and must be firm.

Analysts believe that Bitcoin will pump again after a healthy consolidation around $106,000.

Nick Forster, founder of on-chain options protocol Derive, said: "While the recent rise in the price of Bitcoin above $111,000 is worth watching, the current price action suggests that it is in a consolidation phase rather than an imminent breakout. Forster believes that the consolidation phase could be a "healthy break" before a new round of "big gains", which will give "the market time to digest recent gains and prepare for the next phase". It is uncertain how the next phase may develop. Bitcoin researcher Sminston With said BTC could rise by 100% to 200%, with a cycle peak between $220,000 and $330,000. Meanwhile, crypto trader Apsk32 said that a more reasonable goal for BTC to reach $220,000 in 2025 is to do so. Forster said the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled on May 28 to prevent Trump from exceeding his authority to impose sweeping tariffs, which means "immediate concerns about trade-induced inflation have been alleviated." However, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled on May 29 that Trump could temporarily continue his tariff regime under the Emergency Powers Act while appealing the Trade Court's ruling. Forster added that the Fed's next interest rate decision, which will be made on June 18, will be "critical".
