The Central Bank of Japan expects to maintain interest rates at 1 per cent at the policy meeting ending on 31 July, but may send a signal of further interest rate hikes in response to the weak yen and inflationary pressures.

BITCOIN OG OLDCAT: AT LEAST 2-3 YEARS LEFT FOR A.I

On 27 July, at the Money Front 2026 New Capital Chile Summit, Bitcoin OG’s old cat gave a speech in which he stated that he was very certain that the world’s largest macro over the past decade or so was the one in which Governments were constantly overstretched, while bitcoin, as a countervailing tool of overstretch, was the strongest trend. Such a powerful trend has allowed itself to flout all other fundamentals and other assets. By the end of the year, however, the narrative that brought the greatest value to Bitcoin had suddenly become bleak. Bitcoin's narrative was like a 100-watt light bulb in the dark world, but in the last two years, suddenly, a 1,000-watt big light came out of it, named AI. Bitcoin's resources continue to flow to AI. AI became the biggest narrative and AI the largest macro. Having learned this reality, we began to think about how to get involved in this narrative. However, it is premised on the need to judge how long this new narrative will last. My judgment is that there is at least two to three years left for AI's narrative, and AI itself is an engine of global economic growth for the next 10 years。

UNDER THE FRENZIED FRENZY OF THE FED'S INTEREST RATE, BITCOIN ETF ENDED THE FLOW OF FUNDS

On 27 July, the United States-listed Bitcoin ETF experienced a significant outflow of funds at the end of last week, highlighting the vulnerability of Bitcoin to its recent rebound. The withdrawal of more than $465 million from the Bitcoin spot ETF on 23 and 24 July brought to a close the momentum of seven consecutive trading days, as concerns about a possible increase in interest rates in the Fed overshadowed the positive momentum behind the recent Clarity Act. Despite large-scale divestments on the last two trading days, the Bitcoin ETF as a whole recorded an inflow of $33.8 million last week. This marked the third consecutive week of inflow, with $8.3 billion flowing eight weeks before。

Tesla Optimus is a well-known investor in cold water: no revenue in the short term

On 27 July, Tesla CEO Mask described human robots as “the most important product ever produced by the company”, yet a prominent American investor warned that it might take a long time for Tesla Optimus robots to be successful in their business, because they are not only difficult to manufacture but are unlikely to generate revenue in the short term. According to Ross Gerber, Chief Executive Officer of the investment company Gerber Kawasaki, the greatest obstacle to the creation of human-shaped robots is the reproduction of the unique human body capacity. Gerber also questioned the commercial opportunities for consumer-centred human robots, stating that investment levels did not match short-term income potential。
