The American Bankers Association (ABA) issued a statement regarding the cryptocurrency industry meeting held at the White House that day. The meeting aimed to advance the legislative process related to cryptocurrency market infrastructure and invited representatives from cryptocurrency companies and traditional banking to participate together.In the statement, the ABA thanked the Trump administration for facilitating this "constructive dialogue" and noted that the meeting acknowledged the traditional banking industry's concerns regarding digital asset legislation. However, the ABA also emphasized that any related legislation must support local credit supply aimed at households and small businesses to maintain the safety and soundness of the financial system.Additionally, the ABA called on congressional senators to close regulatory loopholes that might allow cryptocurrency companies to pay consumers interest or returns on stablecoins, viewing this issue as one of the core differences between traditional banking and the cryptocurrency industry. The banking sector is concerned that such arrangements could exacerbate deposit outflows or force banks to raise deposit rates to compete. Reports indicate that the White House is expected to continue pushing for follow-up consultations to seek a compromise between supporting digital asset innovation and maintaining the traditional financial system.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, the market generally expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 25 basis points, adjusting the policy rate to 3.75-4.00%.At the same time, it is expected that the central bank will announce the end of quantitative tightening (QT). This meeting will not release the quarterly economic projections report, so the focus will mainly be on Powell's press conference. It is anticipated that Federal Reserve Chairman Powell will once again characterize the rate cut as a risk management measure and will not disclose too much information to maintain market expectations stable in the absence of key economic data.Currently, the market expects a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in October to be a certainty, with the probability of a rate cut in December also approaching 100%. By 2026, a cumulative rate cut of 117 basis points is expected, higher than the Federal Reserve's projected 75 basis points.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jin Shi reports, next week, due to the continued government shutdown in the United States, there will be less important data from the U.S. However, many central banks will hold monetary policy meetings, including the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of Japan. Here are the key points the market will focus on in the new week (all in Beijing time):Thursday 02:00, the Federal Reserve announces the interest rate decision;Thursday 02:30, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell holds a monetary policy press conference;Friday 01:15, 2026 FOMC voting member and Dallas Fed President Logan speaks;Friday 21:30, 2026 FOMC voting member and Dallas Fed President Logan speaks;Before gaining a clearer understanding of inflation and the labor market, Powell is unlikely to significantly change his wording on the future policy path while announcing a 25 basis point rate cut. Therefore, considering the recent tensions in trade relations and the ongoing government shutdown, Powell and his colleagues' statements on Thursday may appear somewhat dovish, but the extent may not be too large. Even dovish members like Waller are reluctant to commit in advance to a series of rate cuts. If the Federal Reserve questions the market's expectation of a 100 basis point rate cut after October, the risk of disappointment among traders will increase.
