4E: American Bitcoin surges on its first day of trading, Trump family's holdings revealed

ChainCatcher news reports that, according to 4E observations, the Trump family's related mining company American Bitcoin has disclosed its holdings of 2,443 BTC, with a total value of approximately $273 million, a significant increase from the 152 BTC reported in the initial disclosure, indicating an astonishing pace of reserve expansion. American Bitcoin (NASDAQ: ABTC) rose nearly 17% on its first day of trading, closing at $8.04, with an intraday high of $14, and a total trading volume exceeding 29 million shares. In contrast, recently higher-valued listings Circle and Bullish had first-day trading volumes of 46 million shares and 58 million shares, respectively. Analysts state that this successful listing has pushed the market value of shares held by Eric Trump to over $500 million.

In terms of monetary policy, Federal Reserve Governor Waller has clearly expressed support for a rate cut at the next meeting, stating that a series of rate cuts may be on the horizon. Additionally, the Federal Reserve announced it will hold a special meeting on digital assets in October to discuss stablecoins and the tokenization of financial products. Trump's recent attempt to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook has triggered legal and market turmoil, with over 600 economists warning that weakening the Fed's independence will significantly increase policy uncertainty.

QCP points out that market focus is shifting from mere rate cut expectations to the risks surrounding the Federal Reserve's independence, with investors increasing their safe-haven allocations in gold and Bitcoin.

Furthermore, Chainalysis has released its 2025 Global Cryptocurrency Adoption Index, showing that India, the United States, and Pakistan rank in the top three, with on-chain transaction volume in the Asia-Pacific region increasing by 69% year-on-year, remaining a key driver of global adoption.

4E reminds investors: U.S. regulatory and political risks are rapidly shaping market narratives, with Bitcoin and gold potentially benefiting in the short term, but volatility remains high. Investors are advised to pay attention to the interconnected impacts of macroeconomic and policy factors.
