Federal Reserve Maintains Interest Rates Unchanged for the Fifth Consecutive Time
According to Jinshi, the Federal Reserve maintained its benchmark interest rate at 4.25%-4.50%, in line with market expectations, marking the fifth consecutive meeting of inaction. It is reported that two Trump-appointed board members, Waller and Bowman, opposed this resolution, both believing the current monetary policy is too tight. This is the first time in over 30 years that two board members have voted against a resolution. The FOMC voted 9-2 to keep the benchmark overnight rate in the 4.25%-4.50% range, maintaining inaction for the fifth consecutive meeting. The Fed stated in its statement: "Unemployment remains low, and the job market conditions are still robust. Inflation remains slightly high." The statement also noted that economic growth has "slowed down" in the first half of the year, which could strengthen the case for a rate cut in 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 targets face risks. This wording reflects the Fed's reluctance to cut rates hastily before the paths of inflation and employment become clearer.
White House Releases Digital Assets Report with No Substantial Update on Bitcoin Reserve Plan
The White House released a long-awaited digital assets report, outlining a national strategy aimed at positioning the United States as a global leader in blockchain, cryptocurrency markets, and tokenized finance. Although the report covers a broad range of digital asset policy areas, it did not provide substantial updates on the government's planned Bitcoin reserve, merely reiterating the language from President Trump's January executive order without listing subsequent steps or implementation timeline. The report stems from an executive order signed by President Trump in January, establishing an interagency working group on emerging technologies like digital assets and artificial intelligence. This 166-page document, led by White House Crypto and AI Affairs Head David Sacks and Executive Director Bo Hines, integrated input from the Treasury Department, Commerce Department, SEC, and CFTC, proposing various measures to simplify regulation, support innovation, and modernize oversight. The report recommends that Congress empower the CFTC to regulate non-security digital asset spot markets and support DeFi technology development. It calls on the SEC and CFTC to use existing authorities to clarify digital asset trading regulations and promote innovative financial product implementation. Additionally, the working group suggests that regulators advance digital asset innovations in banking, implement a federal stablecoin regulatory framework, and strengthen anti-money laundering regulations to ensure national security. The report emphasizes that the US must secure its leadership in digital assets and blockchain technology through legislative and regulatory innovation.
