Opinion: Fed's Emergency Rate Cut Will Significantly Boost Bitcoin and Altcoins

2025.09.20 12:32:22

On September 20th, Economist Timothy Peterson cautioned that those involved in the cryptocurrency market might be undervaluing how assertive the Federal Reserve could be in its policy transition. "The market fails to recognize the Fed's potential for rapid rate cuts in the forthcoming months." "There has never been a scenario where the Fed has been gradually cutting rates to the extent they are currently envisioning," Peterson elaborated, anticipating a "surprise element" that could catch the market off guard. "This will give a substantial boost to the price of Bitcoin and altcoins, and I believe this will transpire within the next 3 to 9 months." Peterson's remarks followed shortly after the Fed's first rate cut of the year on September 17, 2025, with a 25-basis-point reduction. The rate cut had been widely anticipated, as indicated by the CME FedWatch tool, which showed a 96% probability of a 25-basis-point cut and only a 4% probability of a 50-basis-point cut in the hours preceding the announcement.

Even trillion-parameter models can’t salvage dirty data, domestic large language models are starting to redo pre-training.

Beating AI Insight News Flash. Leiphone reports that over the past six months, multiple domestic large language model (LLM) vendors have begun redoing their pre-training processes, with all issues traced to data quality. One vendor spent nearly a year training a trillion-parameter model, only to have its performance outperformed by a small model with just around 1% of the parameter count. The team ultimately found the root cause lay in the training data: web spam, duplicate corpora, and low-quality annotations had been mixed into the training set, rendering even the largest models ineffective. The case comes from an anonymous source, and the specific company has not been disclosed. Tencent Hunyuan has publicly announced a full redo of its pre-training work. Since February this year, the team has rebuilt its pre-training and reinforcement learning infrastructure. Previous media reports revealed that the old version of Hunyuan had issues including ranking manipulation data being mixed into the training set and inconsistent annotation rules. The new team redefined data standards, cleaned up existing corpora, and Hy3 listed data quality and diversity as key improvement areas. Alibaba and Baidu are also stepping up data governance efforts. Alibaba’s Qwen3 uses the Qwen2.5 series models to clean documents, and has significantly supplemented synthetic math and code data. Baidu’s Ernie 4.5 has added deduplication, low-quality filtering, data mapping, and manual review processes. Neither company has publicly stated that they had to redo work due to dirty data, but both have invested more efforts in data processing for their new-generation models.

US Treasury May Deploy Nearly $1 Trillion in Fiscal Cash to Stabilize Money Markets

The U.S. Treasury is developing a plan that could reshape how short-term funding markets function: deploying a portion of cash held in the Treasury General Account (TGA) into the private repo market on a regular basis, rather than leaving all of it parked at the Federal Reserve. The proposal earned backing from multiple market participants at the New York Fed’s annual U.S. Treasury market conference this week. The TGA, which currently holds just under $1 trillion, serves as the Treasury’s day-to-day operating cash account. The Treasury first put forward this idea back in May, and this week’s discussions have advanced to focus on specific implementation methods. Market observers see this move as a potential new stabilizing tool for short-term funding markets. If the Treasury actively deploys part of its TGA cash into the repo market, it would add a direct channel for traditional fiscal cash flows to enter the money market. Market participants are thus particularly concerned about whether the operations will be predictable.
