Bitcoin sits near $110K as all eyes turn to Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole decision and whether the Fed will signal rate cuts or stick with “higher-for-longer.” Washington heats up with Senator Lummis pushing a crypto market structure bill, the DOJ easing enforcement on developers, and banks lobbying to reshape the GENIUS Act. Globally, China explores yuan-backed stablecoins, while whales shift from Bitcoin into Ethereum and BlackRock doubles down on ETH. Even the Kanye West memecoin shows the risks of speculation. With policy, institutions, and macro all colliding, the key question remains: will the Fed’s decision spark Bitcoin’s next big move?

The Crypto Town Hall live stream tackled the current state of the crypto market, focusing on the so-called summer doldrums—a period of reduced news and trading activity. The discussion ranged from meme coins like the speculative Kanye coin saga, to broad questions on market psychology, to an in-depth dive into banking, stablecoins, U.S. macroeconomic policy, interest rates, liquidity, and their impact on both traditional and crypto markets. The hosts and guests analyzed the mechanics of the banking lobby against stablecoins and speculated on Fed policy, inflation, and the direction of long-term interest rates, ultimately tying all these to the continued case for Bitcoin and other hard assets. The aim was to cut through meme coin hype and focus attention on the systemic drivers of value and risk in the evolving financial landscape.

In politics, the Winklevoss twins have pledged millions to a crypto super PAC aimed at shaping the 2025 elections.
