BNB Chain is building infrastructure for AI to operate as an "economic entity" on the blockchain, without the need for humans in between.
Specifically, they are implementing the ERC-8004 standard so that each AI has: - A unique identity. - A reputation history. - Can be verified as real or fake.
Additionally, the BAP-578 standard helps AI: - Have its own crypto wallet. - Manage its own funds. - Pay for services autonomously (for example, booking tickets, purchasing services).
Because BNB Chain has low fees and is fast, it is suitable for AI to conduct many small transactions.$BNB

RAY DALIO WARNS OF "CAPITAL WARS" AND THE RISK OF LOSING FAITH IN AMERICAN ASSETS
🔹 Billionaire Ray Dalio (founder of Bridgewater Associates) warns that the world may enter "capital wars", meaning countries may reduce their purchases or sell off American assets, particularly USD and US bonds.
🔹 The US is borrowing too much. If faith declines, countries holding USD and US bonds will no longer want to finance the US deficit.
🔹 When geopolitical tensions arise, even allies will not want to hold each other's debt. They will seek harder and safer assets.
🔹 Therefore, he emphasizes that investors need to diversify and not rely on a single country or a single type of asset.
🔹 Gold is seen as an important defensive barrier and should comprise about 5% to 15% of the portfolio to protect when the financial system encounters risks.$BTC
🇻🇪 VENEZUELA BONDS BECOME HOTTEST TRADING ASSET ON WALL STREET, BUT RISKS REMAIN HIGH
🔹 Venezuela bonds maturing in October 2026 surged strongly to around 43 cents per USD, more than double the level in August.
🔹 The rally stems from expectations of faster political transition than anticipated and the potential for debt restructuring following Nicolás Maduro's arrest and a shift in U.S. policy.
🔹 Venezuela defaulted in late 2017, with the government and PDVSA's total debt obligations nearing 100 billion USD, equivalent to approximately 119% of GDP. PDVSA is Venezuela's state-owned oil company, controlling all oil and natural gas exploration, production, refining, and export activities in the country.
🔹 Major institutions such as Fidelity Investments and T. Rowe Price hold large amounts of these bonds.
🔹 Barclays upgraded Venezuela's bonds to neutral, but warned that upside potential may be limited.
Note: The ~43 cents level is still below par (par is 1 USD), meaning the bonds are trading below par, i.e., at a discount to their original value.$BTC
Liquidity is essentially driven by incentives, so it moves reactively to a very simple question:
"Where do I have the highest upside with the lowest risk?"
At each stage of the cycle, the answer is different.
🟡 Beginning of the cycle = Safe
⚪️ Middle of the cycle = Efficient
🟢 End of the cycle = Speculative
When yields at the peak of the chain begin to compress — as is currently happening with Gold and Silver — then cash flow must shift downwards to maintain profitability.
It's not that investors suddenly become stupid or more reckless, but because the risk remains almost unchanged while the upside gets smaller and smaller.
This forces capital to seek other places, and naturally, it will flow into smaller-cap assets, where the same amount of liquidity can create larger price fluctuations.
Gold → Silver → Bitcoin → ETH & large-cap → mid-cap → small-cap → meme & some random stuff
Yield compression forces cash flow to seek efficiency, not because people want to accept more risk.
And therefore, narratives only form after the cash flow has shifted.
🟡 "Gold rises because people lose faith in fiat currency"
⚪️ "Silver rises due to global supply shortages"
🟠 "Bitcoin rises because it is a better version of gold"
…and many other stories.
In essence, it is just the same liquidity being reused, flowing through different markets and creating new narratives.

JEFF PARK SAYS LARGE HOLDERS ARE SELLING CALL OPTIONS TO CAP BITCOIN PRICE
🔸 Jeff Park (CIO of Procap) states that based on the data, some large Bitcoin holders are selling call options to earn regular fees instead of waiting for a significant price increase.
🔸 The sale of many call options creates a "price ceiling" because they will incur losses if Bitcoin exceeds that level.
🔸 As the BTC price approaches this ceiling, they sell BTC spot, pushing the price down to hedge against risk.
🔸 Selling pressure appears whenever the price rises, making it difficult for Bitcoin to break through in the short term.$BTC
The Fed Chairman just concluded the press conference, initial thoughts of Thuan:
There are 3 dissenting members in the decision to cut interest rates this time. Austan Goolsbee (Chairman of the Fed Chicago region) and Jeffrey Schmid (Chairman of the Fed Kansas region) opposed the cut. Governor Stephen Miran wants a stronger cut at 0.5%. The remaining 9 members support a cut of 0.25%.
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell stated that interest rates could remain unchanged, decrease slightly, or decrease more significantly in the coming year, depending on the data. He emphasized, "I do not think raising interest rates is anyone's baseline scenario." The Fed has not yet made a decision for the January meeting.
Powell continues to emphasize that there is no path that is completely risk-free. Both the labor market and inflation need to be closely monitored. He mentioned that recent employment figures may have been "overstated" by about 60,000 each month. At this point, he believes the U.S. is at the high end of the neutral interest rate, which is the interest rate the Fed considers balanced between supporting the labor market and controlling inflation.
Regarding AI, Powell has not yet expressed a clear opinion. He only mentioned that AI could take away jobs but could also increase output, business profits, and impact GDP.
On the issue of tariffs, Powell stated that the full impact may become clearer in the first quarter of 2026. He does not believe it will have a significant effect. Tariffs may cause inflation to rise slightly, but this is just a one-time impact; thereafter, inflation will stabilize and continue its downward trend. Regarding the tariff lawsuit at the Supreme Court, he declined to comment as the Fed does not express political opinions $BTC
