Coinbase: Bitcoin is fighting down or presupposing a market floor

On 14 July, Coinbase Industrial wrote on platform X that non-farm employment data were lower than expected, but that the escalation of the Middle East conflict had brought inflation back into the market's focus, that the market was pricing an “higher and longer” interest rate environment, that financial conditions for long-cycle risk assets were tightened and that the probability of higher interest rates at the end of the year increased. Bitcoin fell by only about 2 per cent under the leeway, which Coinbase believes may imply a bottom-up process. At the same time, the market value of the stable currency has roughly doubled since January 2024, but the volume of entity-adjusted transactions has increased four to fivefold, which means that the rate of swing of the stable currency is accelerating, moving away from idle stocks or “dry powder” and increasingly being used for actual payments。

BIT Official: Tonight CPI data or will decide on the next phase of Bitcoin Love

On 14 July, BIT Official released a daily graph analysis that current market pricing indicates that the Federal Reserve is expected to increase interest rates 2.6 times over the next few quarters, in large reverses from the expected decline in the fifth round of cattle, which pushed Bitcoin to open in early 2023. Since September 2025, the market has expected a sustained shift towards monetary tightening, placing significant downward pressure on Bitcoin and other encrypted assets. Federal Reserve Councillor Christopher Waller also stated that the Fed was at a policy crossroads, and that the statement was biased against the eagle. As a result, the CPI inflation data released this evening are crucial for the movement of the coin. If inflation readings were higher than 4.0 per cent, the approximate rate would reinforce the expectation of sustained interest rate hikes, further exacerbating downward pressure。

The United States Association of Federal Law Enforcement Officials supported the Clarity Act, but called for the strengthening of the DeFi accountability clause

On 14 July, Cointelegraph reported that the United States Clarity Act had received public support from the second leading law enforcement organization before the Senate adjourned in August. On 10 July, the Federal Association of Law Enforcement Officials sent a letter to the Senate Banking Commission in support of the bill, calling for the amendment of the DeFi safeguard to enhance accountability, clarify the decentrization of responsibility in the financial system and prevent enterprises from avoiding regulation in the name of decentrization. The bill had previously been supported by the National Association of Black Law Enforcement Organizations Executive, and two letters had helped to counter the argument that it weakened the Government ' s ability to combat crimes of encryption. The Federal Association of Law Enforcement Officials, however, still requires that the scope of DeFi's protection be narrowed, that the words “specific intent” be changed to facilitate the identification of responsibility, and that the bill do not restrict existing federal investigative powers. Four law enforcement organizations had previously written to the White House in June to express their concerns about article 604。
