According to BlockBeats, as of July 9th, data compiled from mainstream CEX flexible deposit/earning platforms shows that there are some differences in the yield rates of stablecoin flexible deposits on platforms such as HTX, Binance, OKX, and Bitget. Moreover, most products adopt a tiered interest calculation model of "high returns for small amounts and reduced returns for larger amounts".

Among USDT products, HTX offered the highest annualized yield at 10% for the 0–200 USDT tier; Bitget offered 6.31% for the 0–300 USDT tier; Binance offered 4.47% for the 0–200 USDT tier; and OKX offered 1.57%. Once the corresponding limit was exceeded, the annualized yields for HTX, Binance, and Bitget dropped to 1.95%, 1.47%, and 1.65%, respectively.

Regarding USDC products, Binance offers an annualized yield of 6.76% for 0–200 USDC, Bitget offers 6.66% for 0–300 USDC, HTX offers 3.00%, and OKX offers 1.74%. Additionally, HTX, Binance, and Bitget offer USDE flexible deposit products with annualized yields of 5% (0–1000), 3% (>1000), 3.75%, and 3.64%, respectively; USDD flexible deposit products are currently only offered by HTX, showing an annualized yield of 4.00%.

Overall, the high returns of current CEX stablecoin flexible deposit products are mostly concentrated in small-amount transactions, with yields declining significantly for larger sums. When comparing products, users should pay attention to factors beyond the nominal annualized return, such as transaction limits, supported cryptocurrencies, platform rules, and product availability.

According to BlockBeats, on July 11, Deutsche Bank stated that after several weeks of relatively quiet speeches from Federal Reserve officials, next week will see a surge of speeches before the quiet period.

The most anticipated events are: Waller's speech at the New York Business Economics Association on Monday, Chairman Warsh's testimony on Tuesday and Wednesday, and several officials' outlook speeches following the release of the June CPI data (Cook on Wednesday, Vice Chairman Jefferson, Dallas Fed's Logan, and Kansas City Fed's Schmid on Friday).

Walsh is expected to reiterate his recent statements and remain silent on future policy actions. Waller, on the other hand, typically prefers to elaborate on his policy response mechanisms and expectations, so his remarks will be closely watched for any signals of his policy inclinations.

For outlook-oriented speeches, the market is focused on how officials interpret this week's inflation data and whether any officials favor a rate hike in July. As the June meeting minutes indicated, "several" officials believed there was reason to raise rates last month. Since then, the situation has been mixed, with oil prices and inflation expectations retreating but subsequently rebounding somewhat, and the unemployment rate falling further. The possibility of dissenting votes in favor of a rate hike at the July meeting cannot be ruled out.

According to BlockBeats, on July 11, CryptoQuant analyst JA Maartun reported that Binance's June futures trading volume rose to approximately $1.63 trillion, the highest level since 2026.

The analyst pointed out that although BTC is still fluctuating in the mid-range of $60,000, market sentiment is cautious, and the European MiCA regulatory process and summer trading activity typically slow down, the trading volume in the Binance futures market remains high, indicating that traders' participation in derivatives remains active.
