【BlockBeats】Tonight at 21:30, the US initial jobless claims data will be officially released. This data is related to the Federal Reserve’s assessment of the economic situation—previously at 208,000, with market expectations at 215,000. It seems to indicate some softening in the employment sector.

Meanwhile, a major event is brewing in the Ethereum ecosystem. The institution with the largest holdings, BitMine, is convening a shareholder meeting with a critical agenda—expanding shares from 500 million to 50 billion. Once approved by vote, BitMine will have more ammunition to buy ETH, which is a direct positive stimulus for price expectations.

What’s even more noteworthy is the voice from the Federal Reserve. FOMC permanent voting member and New York Fed President Williams will deliver an opening speech. Minneapolis Fed President Kashkari, a 2026 voting member, will also speak, along with Atlanta Fed President Bostic and Richmond Fed President Barkin, who will comment on Virginia’s economic outlook. The dense statements from these four officials imply policy signals that should not be underestimated.

Unemployment benefits loosen, BitMine is about to spend money, the Federal Reserve is about to hold a meeting... Isn't this just the "triple blow" combo for retail investors? Waiting with a smile for the 21:30 data to come out.

It's another day of unemployment benefits and the Federal Reserve. Why are there so many variables today? Could it be another bloodbath? BitMine expanding by 50 billion shares? They must be very bullish on ETH. Want to join in and scoop some up? Four Federal Reserve officials speaking intensively—are they giving the market a warning? Let's wait and see at 21:30.

Unemployment data is out, and employment is really a bit tight... But speaking of BitMine's upcoming share expansion, if it really goes through, the ammunition to sweep ETH will indeed be quite fierce.

Unemployment data is causing trouble again; it's always this way that makes it the most exciting. BitMine is voting to expand the shareholding? With 50 billion in ammunition, someone is taking over ETH now. What do these several Federal Reserve officials' intense statements mean? Are they hawks or doves? Feels like tonight is just a fuse; let's wait and see.
