Fed Maintains Interest Rates Unchanged for the Fifth Consecutive Time

According to Jinshi, the Federal Reserve kept the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.25%-4.50%, in line with market expectations, marking the fifth consecutive meeting with no changes. It is reported that the resolution was opposed by two Trump-appointed governors - Waller and Bowman, who both believed that the current monetary policy is too tight. This is the first time in more than 30 years that two governors have voted against a resolution. The FOMC voted 9-2 to keep the benchmark overnight interest rate in the 4.25%-4.50% range, unchanged for the fifth consecutive meeting. The Fed said in a statement: "The unemployment rate remains low, and labor market conditions are still solid. Inflation is still slightly high." The statement also noted that economic growth "slowed somewhat" in the first half of the year, which may strengthen the case for the Fed to cut interest rates at a future meeting if this trend continues. However, the statement also emphasized that "uncertainty about the economic outlook remains high" and that both inflation and employment goals face risks. This wording reflects that the Fed is reluctant to cut interest rates hastily before the paths of inflation and employment are clear.

White House Releases Digital Asset Report, No Substantial Updates on Bitcoin Reserve Plan

The White House released the long-awaited digital asset report, which outlines a national strategy to position the United States as a global leader in blockchain, cryptocurrency markets, and tokenized finance. Although the report covers a wide range of digital asset policy areas, it does not provide substantial updates on the government's planned Bitcoin reserves, only reiterating the wording in President Trump's January executive order without listing subsequent steps or an implementation timetable. The report stems from an executive order signed by President Trump in January, which established an interagency working group on emerging technologies such as digital assets and artificial intelligence. This 166-page document was led by David Sacks, head of White House cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence affairs, and executive director Bo Hines, integrating input from the Treasury Department, Commerce Department, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). It lists a number of proposals on simplifying regulations, supporting innovation, and modernizing regulation. The report recommends that Congress improve legislation to grant the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) the authority to regulate the spot market for non-securities digital assets and support the development of decentralized finance (DeFi) technology. The report also calls on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and CFTC to use existing authority to clarify regulatory rules for digital asset transactions and promote the implementation of innovative financial products. In addition, the working group recommends that regulators promote digital asset-related innovation in the banking industry, implement a federal regulatory framework for stablecoins, and strengthen anti-money laundering regulations to safeguard national security. The report emphasizes that the United States needs to ensure its leading position in digital assets and blockchain technology through legislative and regulatory innovation.
