Experienced Analyst Speaks About the Decline! “Bitcoin is Falling Due to US President Donald Trump’s Announcement Today!”

After a long period of deliberation, US President Donald Trump will finally announce his nominee for the FED chairman today.

It was reported that the number of candidates was narrowed down to two, Kevin Warsh and Rick Rieder, and this was claimed to have negatively impacted Bitcoin.

Accordingly, the increasing likelihood of former FED Chairman Kevin Warsh being appointed as the next FED Chairman is intensifying the downward pressure on Bitcoin (BTC).

Although Warsh occasionally takes a positive stance towards cryptocurrencies, some analysts consider him a bearish force for Bitcoin.

Speaking to Coindesk, Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, stated that Warsh advocates for higher real interest rates and lower liquidity.

Thielen also noted that Warsh views cryptocurrencies as speculative tools that will disappear when the era of low interest rates ends.

Thielen noted that over the years, many experts had shown that Warsh’s hawkish stance and his disregard for the risks of deflation had worsened the crisis.

According to Thielen, Warsh repeatedly spoke of inflation risks during the global financial crisis (GFC), which lasted from December 2007 to June 2009, even when the global economy was teetering on the brink of deflation.

In September 2008, when Lehman Brothers collapsed, Warsh said, “I’m still not ready to give up on my concerns about inflation.” Seven months later, with the Fed’s inflation measure at 0.8% and the unemployment rate at 9%, Warsh stated, “I’m more concerned about the upside risks of inflation than the downside risks.”

At this point, Thielen argues that Warsh’s hawkish track record sharply clashes with Trump’s inflationary, pro-rivalry strategy, making Warsh’s potential candidacy ironic.

Trump has repeatedly criticized Jerome Powell, accusing him of keeping interest rates high and killing the economy. At this point, Thielen believes the market thinks Warsh is the wrong choice for the Fed, which is expected to follow Trump’s line.

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

The post Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave DAO is gearing up for a significant overhaul by shutting down over 50% of underperforming L2 instances. It is also restructuring its governance framework and deploying over $100 million to boost GHO. This could be a pivotal moment that propels Aave back to the forefront of on-chain lending or sparks unprecedented controversy within the DeFi community. Sponsored Sponsored ACI Proposes Shutting Down 50% of L2s The “State of the Union” report by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) paints a candid picture. After a turbulent period in the DeFi market and internal challenges, Aave (AAVE) now leads in key metrics: TVL, revenue, market share, and borrowing volume. Aave’s annual revenue of $130 million surpasses the combined cash reserves of its competitors. Tokenomics improvements and the AAVE token buyback program have also contributed to the ecosystem’s growth. Aave global metrics. Source: Aave However, the ACI’s report also highlights several pain points. First, regarding the Layer-2 (L2) strategy. While Aave’s L2 strategy was once a key driver of success, it is no longer fit for purpose. Over half of Aave’s instances on L2s and alt-L1s are not economically viable. Based on year-to-date data, over 86.6% of Aave’s revenue comes from the mainnet, indicating that everything else is a side quest. On this basis, ACI proposes closing underperforming networks. The DAO should invest in key networks with significant differentiators. Second, ACI is pushing for a complete overhaul of the “friendly fork” framework, as most have been unimpressive regarding TVL and revenue. In some cases, attackers have exploited them to Aave’s detriment, as seen with Spark. Sponsored Sponsored “The friendly fork model had a good intention but bad execution where the DAO was too friendly towards these forks, allowing the DAO only little upside,” the report states. Third, the instance model, once a smart…
