II. Industry Updates
Macro-economic Policies
1.
The Federal Reserve has launched five task forces to reassess its monetary policy framework, focusing on communications, balance sheet policy, economic data, productivity and jobs, and inflation frameworks. This signals a shift toward more adaptive policy tools, which could increase volatility and liquidity shifts in crypto markets.
2.
The Fed held its benchmark interest rate steady at 3.5%-3.75%, but the latest dot plot shows a majority of FOMC members now expect at least one rate hike this year. Higher rates may dampen risk appetite and reduce liquidity for Bitcoin and DeFi assets.
3.
The European Central Bank has upgraded its economic modeling with AI and scenario analysis, projecting headline inflation at 3.0% for 2026 and maintaining a higher-for-longer rate stance. This environment raises the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like Bitcoin and could suppress DeFi activity in the euro area.
4.
Mexico's June CPI slowed to 3.37%, a 5.5-year low, fueling speculation of potential rate cuts by Banxico. Easing inflation may support the peso and encourage capital inflows, potentially increasing crypto trading volumes in emerging markets.
5.
Geopolitical easing between the US and Iran has stabilized oil prices and improved market sentiment, leading to a rebound in Bitcoin and gold. Lower energy-driven inflation expectations may support further gains in crypto asset prices.

4.
