If youre yapping about Peaq and you havent dived into the Machine economy then youre leaving good content on the table.

[The Tradeguru 🧠 @tradeguru]

Peaq is already home to a host of smart DePINs

Yep — each project turns your phone into a DePIN tool and pays you in crypto for every data you collect.

If you think this is progress, just wait till you see what they're building for the Machine DeFi 🧵

The Treasury Just Doubled Down on the Long End
The U.S. Headlines vs Real story

Headlines👇

Treasury announced Wednesday it is at least doubling the size of its buyback operations for longer-dated bonds, taking the cap from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation.

Effective September 9 through November 4, the increase covers the 10-to-20-year and 20-to-30-year nominal coupon sectors specifically.

The real story👇

That official language is only half the story. Three things were building at once heading into this announcement.

Surging yields: the 30-year hit 5.34% on Tuesday, a 19-year high, its highest level since 2007. That is not a small move on the long end.

Fiscal pressure: total U.S. public debt is closing in on $40 trillion, and July's budget deficit landed at a record $432 billion. The Treasury is issuing into a market that is already digesting record supply.

Geopolitical jitters: escalating Iran-related tensions, including reports of Iran weighing strikes on U.S. assets in southern Europe, Cyprus, and Bulgaria, were adding a risk premium on top of an already stressed bond market.

connect those three together and stepping in outside the normal quarterly refunding schedule doesn't look like routine liquidity management and more like the Treasury acting as shock absorber before the long end got worse

The Market Reaction

Bonds: the 10-year yield fell 6 basis points to 4.647%, and the 30-year dropped 9 basis points to 5.196%.

Equities: the reaction was muted relative to bonds and currencies. The S&P 500 rose 0.2%, the Dow gained 0.2%, and the Nasdaq added just 0.1%.( Moderna pumped for diff reasons)

Currency: the U.S. Dollar Index fell 0.8% to 98.85, its lowest level in three months, making the dollar the worst-performing major currency on the day.

Gold: spot gold surged 3.6% to settle near $4,488 an ounce, its best level since early June, as falling yields and a weaker dollar both worked in its favor at the same time.

And our favs bitcoin:native & ethereum:native broke the crucial resistance

@tradeguru Good read guru.
My best line was: "in all things knowing your reason for playing any game gives you more focus on winning."

@tradeguru @Morpho What did it for me is remaining in usdc and withdrawing anytime, although cores is not much but worth it. Whats the yield apy on lending?

[Szymanski @Szymansk_ii]

If you bought SUNUSI with $70 when it was first introduced, you'll be left with $3 today. What a beautiful investment..

[Need4Defi @Need4Defi]

@tradeguru @sparkfinance Typo. I meant learning from.

[The Tradeguru 🧠 @tradeguru]

From my POV, @sparkfinance’s proposal to add USDG and RLUSD as borrow-only reserves is a solid move.

> In the event of a depeg, SparkLend would not have loans backed by the affected asset.

> For borrowers, adding USDG and RLUSD would provide more choice when comparing liquidity and borrowing rates, while also providing access to stablecoins without having to sell existing collateral.

> Importantly, both assets would be borrow-only reserves, meaning they could be borrowed against other approved collateral but could not be used as collateral themselves.

SparkLend is the #3 lending protocol by TVL, with $3.88B in net TVL, $5.77B supplied and $1.89B borrowed but it's not be the first major lender to introduce borrow-only stablecoins:

> @aave already uses the same non-collateral structure for both assets, while @Morpho uses stablecoins as loan assets across isolated markets.
