Weak US Jobs Data Drives $2.5 Billion Gold Futures Surge on Binance
Gold (XAU) futures on Binance recorded one of their strongest trading days in four months on Friday. The surge followed a July jobs report that missed expectations. The move came alongside a broader gold rally, which ended a four-month losing streak. Investors appear to be returning to the precious metal after months of pressure. Revisions to May and June erased another 103,000 jobs. The unemployment rate still fell to 4.1%. However, the decline did not reflect stronger hiring conditions. Instead, 264,000 people left the labor force during the month.
Yields are spiking toward 5.2%, but history shows Bitcoin might completely ignore Wall Street’s $125 billion stress test
The Treasury auctions will total $125 billion from Aug. 11 through Aug. 13, while two inflation reports land hours before the corresponding 10-year and 30-year sales. The sequence will show whether softer bond demand and any resulting rise in yields coincide with pressure on Bitcoin. The Treasury refunding plan starts with $58 billion of 3-year notes at 1 p.m. EDT on Aug. 11. It continues with $42 billion of 10-year notes at the same time on Aug. 12 and $25 billion of 30-year bonds on Aug. 13. All three settle Aug. 17. The gross total is not a $125 billion liquidity drain.

Australia orders Cryptolink Bitcoin ATMs offline over ‘basic reporting’ failures

Crypto’s first quantum attack will look like unexplained breach: Quantus founder
Bad actors with access to a cryptography-breaking quantum computer probably won’t try to announce it to the world by hacking Satoshi Nakamoto’s high-profile Bitcoin wallets, crypto executives say. The first sign that quantum computing has broken modern cryptography probably won’t be a splashy theft of Satoshi Nakamoto’s dormant Bitcoin. It could just be a wave of unrelated crypto wallet breaches with no trace of how an attacker did it, according to the founder of blockchain startup Quantus.
