According to Jin Shi reports, Federal Reserve Governor Milan stated that, given the inflation situation that had already emerged before the Middle East conflict, he may lower his expectations for interest rate cuts again this year. Milan mentioned that if he were to draw the dot plot now, he would lean towards cutting rates 3 times, possibly 4 times, but has not made a final decision yet. In March, he expected to cut rates 4 times this year, each by 25 basis points, but the pace of cuts may slow down if price trends become "less favorable."

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi Data reports, Citic Securities' research report indicates that on July 29, the Monetary Authority released a series of documents regarding the regulatory framework for stablecoin issuers, which will take effect on August 1. The core document is the "Regulatory Guidelines for Licensed Stablecoin Issuers," and the most instructive document during the current application phase is the "Summary of the Stablecoin Issuer Licensing System."On the timeline, the Monetary Authority encourages prospective applicants to contact the regulator by August 31, while the application deadline for mature applicants is September 30. The number of initial licenses is expected to be in single digits, with the first licenses anticipated to be issued by the end of the year. It is recommended to continue monitoring issuers that may obtain the first batch of scarce licenses, as well as platforms that are definitively participating in the creation of stablecoin use cases.

This means that, at a pace of 25 basis points per rate cut, the Fed may implement three rate cuts this year, consistent with the forecast made last December.
