II. Industry Updates
Macro-economic Policies
1.
The Federal Reserve maintained its benchmark interest rate at 3.50%–3.75% in June 2026, signaling a prolonged period of elevated borrowing costs. This stance is expected to constrain liquidity and risk appetite in crypto markets, potentially dampening BTC and DeFi activity.
2.
The European Central Bank raised its key deposit rate by 25 basis points to 4.00%, but the euro weakened as markets focused on economic slowdown risks. Higher rates and a weaker euro may increase volatility and reduce euro-denominated crypto inflows.
3.
The US dollar continued to rally against major currencies, driven by hawkish Fed signals and global risk aversion. A stronger dollar typically pressures risk assets, including cryptocurrencies, leading to potential outflows from BTC and DeFi protocols.
4.
The ECB signaled the possibility of one more rate hike in September 2026, citing persistent inflation and weak growth. This could further tighten financial conditions in Europe, impacting eurozone-based crypto trading and liquidity.
Cryptocurrency Regulatory Trends
2.
The Philippines SEC announced readiness to regulate real-world asset tokenization, signaling support for compliant RWA products and increased investor protection, which may encourage capital market innovation and safer investment channels.
Trending Tokens
