Leak suggests Chainalysis can trace Monero transactions

A leaked video from Chainalysis indicates that despite Monero’s (COIN:XMRUSD) reputation for privacy, its transactions may be traceable. The video, which was removed, shows methods like using malicious Monero nodes to capture IP addresses and transaction data. While this raises concerns, some believe these methods could actually improve Monero’s security by enabling better privacy protection on the blockchain.

$1.2 billion exits from US Bitcoin ETFs in September

In the past eight days, the 11 US spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced net outflows of $1.2 billion, marking the largest exit since their launch in January. This occurred as Bitcoin dropped 17.28%, from $64,668 on August 26 to $53,491 on September 7.

Crypto funds see $726 million net outflows

Managers like BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale saw $726 million in net outflows from crypto funds last week. CoinShares’ head of research, James Butterfill, cited uncertainty over US monetary policy as the main cause. US markets, particularly in Bitcoin, accounted for $706.1 million in outflows, while Europe showed resilience with net inflows in German and Swiss funds. However, Solana funds defied the trend with $6.2 million in inflows.

Economic forecast and presidential debate could shake crypto market

With Bitcoin (COIN:BTCUSD) priced at around $56,590, the market faces volatility due to events in the US. The Consumer Price Index (CPI), due on September 11, could impact market sentiment, followed by the consumer confidence report on September 13. Unemployment data and the September 10 debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris could also intensify Bitcoin fluctuations.

The debate has already attracted $850 million in bets on Polymarket, with Trump holding a 52% chance of victory according to bettors. The event is expected to draw over 70 million viewers.

Bernstein predicts Bitcoin could reach $90,000 if Trump wins the election due to his strong support for the cryptocurrency. Conversely, a Harris victory could cause Bitcoin to fluctuate between $30,000 and $40,000. Bernstein emphasizes that Trump aims to make the US the “world capital of Bitcoin,” which could stimulate innovation and attract investors.

Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, believes Republicans, who are more crypto-friendly, have stronger support compared to Democrats. Despite Bitcoin’s recent drop below $53,000, Saylor maintains his prediction that BTC will reach $13 million in 20 years. MicroStrategy, which holds about $8.3 billion in Bitcoin, has seen its stock rise 879% since it began buying.

Additionally, the US jobs report suggests the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates by up to 50 basis points next week. 10x Research warns that such a move could raise economic concerns, leading investors to reduce exposure to risk assets like Bitcoin and stocks. The probability of a 50 bps cut stands at 30%, with some experts believing the Fed may opt for more moderate adjustments to avoid signaling panic.
