BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes said on X that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies could surge if U.S. and Japanese efforts to strengthen the yen lead to a sharp increase in dollar liquidity. Hayes outlined three possible ways to support a stronger yen: aggressive rate hikes by the Bank of Japan; sales of overseas assets and purchases of domestic assets by institutions including Japan’s Government Pension Investment Fund; and a mechanism in which Japan’s Ministry of Finance uses its U.S. Treasury holdings as collateral with the Federal Reserve to obtain dollars, then sells those dollars and buys yen in the foreign-exchange market. He argued the third option is the one preferred by U.S. and Japanese authorities. Hayes added that if the U.S. Treasury expands limits through the Federal Reserve’s FIMA repo facility, Japan could use its holdings to defend the yen, a process that could boost dollar liquidity and provide strong upside momentum for BTC and the broader crypto market.

Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr was stripped of his Bitcoin Improvement Proposal editor privileges after a dispute over BIP-110 and allegations of conflict of interest. The move came after Murch of Bitcoin research group Localhost Research formally proposed Dashjr’s removal through a developer mailing list, saying Dashjr had lost neutrality as an editor during the handling of the controversial proposal, BIP-110, in which Dashjr was involved. Murch also alleged Dashjr exercised editorial authority in a biased way and repeatedly refused to coordinate with other editors, creating a serious conflict-of-interest issue. Just one day after the removal proposal, Dashjr’s editor and administrator privileges were revoked from the GitHub BIP repository. Dashjr dismissed the allegations as entirely false and denounced the decision as a clear abuse of power by some developers. BIP-110 is a proposal aimed at restricting the large-scale storage of data, including Ordinals and NFTs, on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Bitwise Head of Research Ryan Rasmussen said the stablecoin market is expected to grow from about $300 billion to $3 trillion-$5 trillion, while investors are underestimating Circle’s growth potential, according to a CoinDesk interview. Rasmussen said Circle is well positioned based on its existing market share and stands to benefit as U.S. stablecoin regulation takes clearer shape. He added that payments infrastructure will become Circle’s second business, with the company building infrastructure to facilitate payments in a stablecoin-based financial system. In five years, Circle is likely to be not only a major player in stablecoins but also in payments, Rasmussen said. He also discussed OpenUSD, or OUSD, from OpenStandard, which includes more than 140 payments and crypto companies such as Visa and BlackRock, and said it does not pose a major threat to Circle. Projects like OpenUSD show growing interest from established players, he said, adding that Circle can still expand even as new competitors enter the market. Rasmussen said Circle’s strength lies in its ability to keep advancing its business as the regulated stablecoin market develops.
