2025.09.11 12:32:28

On September 11th, as reported by the Financial Times, the Avalanche Foundation is in the process of planning to raise approximately $1 billion by establishing two cryptocurrency treasury companies within the United States. The foundation has carried out in-depth discussions with investors regarding the establishment of a new digital asset treasury company and the transformation of an existing Nasdaq-listed company into a treasury company. The funds to be raised will be utilized to purchase a significant amount of AVAX tokens from the Avalanche Foundation at a discounted price. The first project is being led by Hivemind Capital and aims to raise up to $500 million in a Nasdaq-listed company, with cryptocurrency investor and former White House Press Secretary Anthony Scaramucci serving as an advisor. The second project is initiated by Dragonfly Capital's SPAC and is targeting another $500 million.

Institution: US Labor Market Still Fragile, with a 40% Chance of Entering an Economic Recession

April 4th — EY-Parthenon Senior Economist Lydia Boussour noted Wednesday that while U.S. March employment data showed a strong rebound, the labor market remains fragile. Against a backdrop of policy uncertainty, businesses are growing more cautious: hiring intentions are cooling, and firms are increasingly prioritizing protecting profit margins by boosting productivity rather than expanding headcount. “Looking ahead, we anticipate the U.S. labor market will be largely frozen in 2026 — marked by selective hiring, muted wage growth, and strategic workforce adjustments amid a historically tight labor supply environment.” Boussour projects job growth will run slightly below the breakeven level, pushing the unemployment rate to gradually rise to around 4.7%. “With the Middle East conflict ongoing, downside risks remain dominant — and there’s a 40% probability of a U.S. economic recession,” she added.

The current mainstream CEX, DEX funding rate indicates a weakening bearish sentiment in the market

On April 4, data from Coinglass shows that as Bitcoin trades within a narrow range, current funding rates across major centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) exchanges indicate a slight easing of bearish sentiment in the market. Specific funding rate details are available in the attached image. **BlockBeats Note**: Funding rates are fees set by crypto exchanges to keep perpetual contract prices aligned with underlying asset values. This mechanism facilitates fund transfers between long and short traders—exchanges do not collect the fee themselves. It adjusts the cost or profit of contract holders to maintain price parity between contracts and their underlying assets. A 0.01% funding rate acts as the baseline: rates above 0.01% signal generally bullish sentiment, while rates below 0.005% indicate a predominantly bearish outlook.

Federal Reserve's Daly: Fed Should Focus on Employment Rates, Not Jobs Data

**April 4th – Federal Reserve official Daly said the U.S. economy no longer needs to generate large numbers of jobs to keep the employment-population ratio steady. In this environment, monthly hiring figures no longer accurately reflect labor market health, and the unemployment rate is a more reliable measure.** **“Ratios and indicators like the employment-population ratio, unemployment rate, quit rate or hiring rate capture changes in workforce size, making them clearer reflections of labor market health,” she stated.** **Source: FX678**
