Jeffrey Jaensubhakij, former Group Chief Investment Officer of the Singapore government investment company (GIC), said that if risk assets such as US stocks collapse, the Federal Reserve may take quantitative easing (QE) measures. Jaensubhakij said, "If they are indeed in a bubble state, and they break - will the Federal Reserve really implement an index-level enhanced version of quantitative easing? I think the likelihood of this happening is high," which will provide a cushion for commodities. "In the coming months, the market will increasingly realize that significant volatility is on the horizon, as such a state cannot be sustained," he said. Jaensubhakij stated that investors need to consider whether they can achieve the same return from artificial intelligence bets as capital expenditures increase, and how to finance these expenditures.

Lido strategic consultant Hasu replied to user X's post "Lending DEX like AAVE and Fluid have enough advantages to issue stable coins" by saying that the idea that stable coins are more profitable than the lending market is one of the biggest misunderstandings in DeFi. Both the lending market and stable coins involve borrowing money from A and then lending it to B, earning the interest difference in the process. Stable coins do have hidden benefits such as global transferability, but these benefits are limited to stable coins with deep global liquidity and network acceptance, such as USDT and USDC. Everyone else is competing for the same scarce pool of funds and increasingly needs to pay interest to lenders. For new stable coins entering the market, there are actually only two advantages - superior distribution (allowing you to borrow at a lower amount) and superior ALM (allowing you to lend at a higher amount). Which one do AAVE and Fluid have?
