ChainCatcher reports that, according to Jin10, Federal Reserve’s Scheidler stated on Wednesday that high inflation remains a key issue the Fed needs to address, but he did not specify how monetary policy should respond. Scheidler said, “I believe we still have work to do on inflation,” while also noting that the employment situation is quite good. He pointed out that the large amount of mortgage-backed securities held from past Fed bond purchases is still suppressing housing borrowing costs, with mortgage rates “possibly 75 to 100 basis points lower than their original levels.”

IMF Warning: U.S. Inflation Unlikely to Reach Target Before 2027, Federal Reserve Rate Cut Delayed
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) report states that U.S. inflation will not reach the 2% target until early 2027, indicating that high interest rates will persist. The fiscal deficit is projected to remain between 7% and 8% of GDP, warning of rising government debt. The IMF recommends fiscal consolidation instead of tariffs to reduce the deficit, which differs from the Trump administration's strategy. The report shows that room for interest rate cuts is structurally constrained, which also impacts the cryptocurrency market.

In Q4 2025, Bitcoin ETF sales reach 25,000 units, revealing hedge fund strategic adjustments
On February 25, news reports indicated that the Bitcoin market experienced volatility in the fourth quarter, with hedge funds and financial advisors becoming the main selling forces. Analyst James Seyffart pointed out that institutions reduced approximately 25,000 Bitcoins through Bitcoin ETFs, demonstrating a cautious asset management strategy at the end of the year.
This reduction is not a panic move but a strategic adjustment by institutions based on risk control and profit locking. As macroeconomic uncertainties increase, with fluctuating interest rate expectations and changes in government bond yields, funds are choosing to reduce exposure to high-beta assets to maintain portfolio stability.

Wall Street plans to purchase 829,000 Bitcoins in 2025, marking BTC's entry into the mainstream financial era
February 25 News, Bitcoin is迎来 a new era of institutional adoption. Reports show that by 2025, Wall Street institutional investors will have accumulated 829,000 Bitcoins, marking a shift of Bitcoin from a fringe speculative asset to a strategic reserve asset. Large asset management firms, hedge funds, and corporate finance departments are all incorporating Bitcoin into their long-term asset allocations, highlighting confidence in its scarcity and potential value.
The large-scale purchases by institutional investors are driven by inflation pressures, macroeconomic uncertainties, and the gradually clarifying regulatory framework. Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million coins provides predictability for investment portfolios, while transparent cryptocurrency custody and tax policies reduce barriers to institutional participation. This strategic buying not only reflects trust in digital gold but also prompts a structural reallocation of capital within investment portfolios.

USDT market capitalization declines for two consecutive months; weakening stablecoin liquidity may hinder Bitcoin and the crypto market recovery
February 25 News, the world's largest stablecoin USDT's market capitalization has once again shown signs of contraction, declining for the second consecutive month, prompting a reassessment of liquidity and capital strength in the crypto market. The latest data shows that USDT's market cap has decreased by approximately 0.8% this month to $183.6 billion, a significant pullback from the previous all-time high of $186.8 billion, continuing the downward trend from January. This consecutive shrinking is relatively rare since the stablecoin trust crisis in 2022, leading to a more cautious market sentiment.
Stablecoins have long been regarded as the "capital reservoir" of the crypto market, with their size changes often directly reflecting off-chain capital inflows or outflows. Analyst Rachael Lucas pointed out that a reduction in stablecoin supply usually indicates a decline in market purchasing power. When liquidity tightens, the upward momentum of mainstream assets is also suppressed. The current weakening of USDT's market cap has been interpreted by some institutions as an important signal that capital has not yet flowed back into crypto assets on a large scale.
