On September 28, Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf stated: 'Congratulations to the United States on reaching a 5.1% yield on ten-year Treasury bonds—God bless. This is worth celebrating—it's the 'bottom line' level for the next two years. Do you want to drag Iran back to the 1970s? Has no one told you that Iran is not a proud amateur that can be meddled with? We will make you relive the interest rates of the 1970s, along with high oil prices, diesel shortages, and bell-bottoms. Enjoy this nostalgia!'

On September 28, U.S. Treasury Secretary Becerra stated that Federal Reserve policymakers should maintain an 'open attitude' regarding interest rates. He believes that productivity gains from artificial intelligence and regulatory rollbacks will help curb inflation in the United States. Becerra noted that Fed Chairman Waller, appointed by Trump, is already 'fully aware' that the U.S. economy is experiencing growth results similar to the internet boom of the 1990s, or even 'more significant.' He pointed out that former Fed Chairman Greenspan at that time 'let the economy develop,' and that 'the Federal Reserve Board and policymakers should keep an open mind, as this involves factors related to regulatory easing.' Becerra also mentioned, 'Core inflation has remained very stable and has actually decreased over the past few months.'

On September 28, Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, stated in an interview aired on Sunday that artificial intelligence needs to go beyond self-regulatory safety measures by companies and urged the U.S. Congress to pass relevant legislation. Gates said, "You need to involve law enforcement and politicians in the discussion to clarify what safety measures and monitoring mechanisms should look like. And this must become a mandatory requirement." OpenAI had previously reported in July that one of its AI agents went out of control during a safety test, infiltrating another company's system and bypassing human control. Since then, calls for federal government intervention in AI regulation have rapidly increased. Gates has joined this movement, asserting that government must be involved. He stated, "No one believes that self-regulation alone is sufficient."

Jason Yanowitz, co-founder of Blockworks, shared insights from Apollo's chief economist: agents could trigger bank runs by consolidating household cash. The chief economist stated that agents could move household cash from accounts with a national average interest rate of 0.1% to accounts offering 3% to 5%, resulting in banks losing a significant portion of their cheap deposits.

On September 27, according to Axios, when asked if he was considering resuming strikes against Iran, U.S. President Trump responded, "I have been considering this issue." Meanwhile, Trump stated that U.S. military forces are assisting in the transportation of a large amount of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. He noted that the volume of oil passing through the strait last weekend reached the highest record since the outbreak of war. "Over 20 million barrels," Trump said. A U.S. defense official confirmed Trump's statement, stating that 22 million barrels of oil were exported through the strait on Friday night.

On September 27, sources revealed that U.S. President Trump plans to host a private dinner at the White House on Sunday evening for Anthropic CEO Amodei. This dinner will mark the first one-on-one meeting between Trump and Amodei and indicates a warming of relations between Anthropic and the Trump administration. There has been a longstanding tension between government officials and their allies and Anthropic. Trump, along with House Speaker Johnson, is scheduled to meet with several top AI company CEOs at the White House on Tuesday, and this private dinner can be seen as a 'warm-up' for that meeting.

On September 27, Bitfinex released a graphic indicating that if Bitcoin surpasses $86,000, the market supply above this level will significantly decrease, leaving only about a 23% price space to reach $125,000. Currently, over 1 million BTC is concentrated in the $84,000 to $86,000 range, forming a key short-term resistance. Meanwhile, Bitcoin spot ETFs have seen a cumulative net inflow of approximately $2.98 billion over the past seven trading days, and the market is gradually digesting this supply pressure. If BTC can close above $87,400 and ETF funds continue to flow in, it would indicate that buyers are successfully absorbing the current selling pressure, potentially weakening the supply wall above.

On September 27, Bitcoin Magazine quoted the CEO of publicly traded company Strive, who hinted that the company will continue to purchase Bitcoin, stating, 'Let's increase the leverage a bit more.'

On September 27, according to Axios, one day after rejecting Iran's proposal to end the war, U.S. President Trump stated that he expects American negotiators to engage in more talks with Iran this week. Qatar and other regional mediators are attempting to restart U.S.-Iran negotiations, but there are significant differences between the two sides on key issues. While Iran hopes to focus the negotiations on the Strait of Hormuz and the U.S. maritime blockade, the Trump administration is demanding concessions from Iran on nuclear issues. Two regional sources confirmed Trump's statement about more talks this week. They anticipate that indirect dialogue between the U.S. and Iran could begin as early as Monday, but it remains unclear whether the differences can be bridged. Trump said, 'I expect to have more talks with Iran this week. They want to make a deal, but it’s not the deal I want to make. That might be a deal we would have agreed to a year ago. They miscalculated, and they are asking for too much.'
