Crypto Market

II. Industry Updates
Macro-economic Policies
1.
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand raised its policy rate by 25 basis points to 2.50%, citing persistent inflation risks. This hawkish move strengthened the New Zealand dollar but weighed on local equities, and signals tighter global liquidity, which may pressure crypto asset valuations and DeFi yields.
2.
The US Treasury auctioned $52 billion in 52-week bills at yields near 3.86%, with strong demand. Elevated risk-free rates continue to attract institutional capital, increasing the opportunity cost for crypto investments and driving flows into tokenized Treasury products within DeFi.
3.
The US trade deficit widened sharply to $77.6 billion in May, driven by record capital goods imports, especially AI-related equipment. The resulting dollar weakness and inflationary pressure could support Bitcoin and digital assets as alternative stores of value amid macro headwinds.
4.
China is considering restrictions on foreign access to its advanced AI models, which could raise operational costs for crypto protocols reliant on affordable AI inference. This may disrupt oracle networks and DeFi data services, prompting liquidity shifts and increased volatility in crypto markets.
5.
US military strikes on Iran and the revocation of Iran's oil export waiver triggered a 3% surge in oil prices, fueling inflation concerns. Higher energy costs may delay global rate cuts, sustaining a risk-off environment and dampening crypto market sentiment in the near term.
