Gundlach: It is impossible for the Fed to cut interest rates, and the inflation market is not cooperating
ChainCatcher news, according to Golden Ten, DoubleLine Capital CEO Gunlach said investors will not see a rate cut at the next Fed policy meeting. He pointed out that although the market had expected two rate cuts this year, the inflation market did not cooperate at all. Gundlach mentioned that when the two-year Treasury yield is nearly 50 basis points higher than the federal funds rate, it is simply impossible to cut interest rates. He also said that Kevin Walsh, who had just been confirmed as Fed chair, took office in a "tough time" and predicted that the first digit of the next CPI index would be a "4-figure prefix".

Data: Long-term Bitcoin holder holdings rose to 15.26 million BTC, a new high since August 2025
According to ChainCatcher news, on-chain analyst Darkfost posted that the supply of Bitcoin held by long-term Bitcoin holders (LTHs) continues to increase and has now rebounded to 15.26 million BTC, the highest level since August 2025. The LTH supply has increased by approximately 316,000 BTC over the past 30 days, contrasting with a 30-day net decrease of 650,000 BTC at the end of November last year, when a significant amount of Bitcoin flowed out of long-term holders' wallets. Darkfost said this suggests that some investors who accumulated Bitcoin about six months ago are still holding on.

Opinion: The new Federal Reserve chairman Walsh faces the dual challenges of inflation and balancing Trump's pressure to cut interest rates
According to ChainCatcher news, FOX reporter Charles Gasparino posted on the X platform that the new Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Walsh has faced the dual challenges of continued inflation and pressure from Trump to cut interest rates since taking office. Consumer inflation has risen to an annualized level of 3.8%, the highest since May 2023, with the war in Iran pushing up energy prices as a major driver. Last week, wholesale prices rose more than the consumer side. On Friday, futures markets began pricing in a rate hike this year, after expectations of a rate cut had largely faded. Walsh himself is a staunch inflation hawk. After leaving the Fed in 2011 to take up academic positions, he wrote several commentary articles criticizing the "loose monetary" system of the Bernanke, Yellen and Powell eras, and advocated shrinking the Fed's balance sheet through more "restrained" policies. He believes that the Fed's easing policy for many years is the root cause of current inflationary pressures. However, in the face of high inflation, his room to cut interest rates is extremely limited. At the same time, the Fed's interest rate decision-making committee is no longer monolithic. Former chairman Powell, who was replaced by Trump, still retains his voting rights as a council member. Powell said he would not leave until the dust settled on his congressional testimony about the cost of building a new Fed headquarters — an investigation initiated by Trump that had previously delayed Walsh's appointment process. Trump appointed Walsh while pressuring for interest rate cuts. But if Walsh gets what he wants, it will be in direct contradiction with the policy position he has always advocated. The Iranian war has entered its third month, and the situation is unclear; Once oil prices break through $200 per barrel, the U.S. economy will face the risk of "stagflation" similar to the 1970s.

Analysis: Massive outflows from fixed income markets may benefit Bitcoin in the medium term
According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin recently fell below $79,000 and had previously encountered significant selling pressure near $82,000. Market analysis believes that the current BTC trend is highly correlated with the US small-cap index, indicating that it is still regarded as a "risk asset" by the market rather than a safe-haven tool. The analysis pointed out that the escalation of the situation in Iran, rising oil prices and concerns about a global economic recession are continuing to suppress market risk appetite. At the same time, the funding rate of Bitcoin perpetual contracts has recently turned negative, indicating that the demand for leveraged long positions in the market is obviously insufficient, and traders are still cautious about short-term gains. However, the report believes that in the medium term, large-scale capital outflows from the fixed income market may actually benefit BTC. As global Treasury yields rise to multi-decade highs, investors are gradually withdrawing from the bond market, and some liquidity may flow back to risky assets, including Bitcoin, in the future. At present, US and European 10-year Treasury yields have risen to multi-year highs, and Brent crude oil prices have also exceeded $100, exacerbating market concerns about inflation and economic pressures.

Russian stablecoin projects plan to get rid of the USDT system and promote cross-border crypto settlement of rubles
ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, A7A5, a stablecoin project based on the Russian ruble, said that even if the situation between Russia and Ukraine eases in the future and some sanctions are lifted, the stablecoin still has long-term survival space, and its core value lies in cross-border settlement efficiency, profitability and regional crypto payment infrastructure construction. The stablecoin, with a former market capitalization of about $500 million, was originally intended to help Russia bypass banking restrictions, but in the future it hopes to further develop into a "direct settlement channel between stablecoins" to achieve direct exchange with other stablecoins without relying on USDT, USDC or the US dollar system.
