- Arthur Hayes: The current decline in Bitcoin is mainly due to the contraction of dollar liquidity, rather than changes in fundamentals.
The decline in ETF and DAT capital flows has exposed the market to a negative liquidity environment again. Arthur pointed out that since July, approximately $1 trillion has evaporated from the dollar liquidity index, with ETF arbitrage capital withdrawing and DAT premium turning, causing Bitcoin to lose its “pseudo buying pressure.” The market needs to adjust first to realign with liquidity realities. He believes that BTC may further drop to the range of $80,000 to $85,000 in the short term, corresponding to potential credit events and rising U.S. Treasury yields. He expects that once U.S. stocks experience a 10% to 20% correction and Treasury yields rise, the Federal Reserve and the Treasury will be forced to initiate substantial easing again, and then Bitcoin may rapidly rebound to $200,000 to $250,000 by the end of the year.

- The White House reviews the CARF rules, the U.S. may strengthen tax reporting for overseas encryption accounts.
The White House is reviewing the proposed rules for joining the global encryption tax reporting framework CARF submitted by the Treasury Department. This framework, created by the OECD in 2022, aims to combat offshore tax evasion by enabling member countries to automatically share information about citizens' encryption assets. The Trump administration had previously supported advancing this rule and believed that joining CARF would help the IRS obtain information about U.S. taxpayers' overseas encryption accounts, reduce asset outflows, while not imposing new reporting obligations on DeFi transactions. The global implementation of CARF is expected to begin in 2027.
