In April, the CPI in the United States increased by 3.8% year-on-year, reaching a new high since May 2023, exceeding the market expectation of 3.7%. Previously, on May 8, Bank of America economists stated in a report to clients that due to inflationary pressures remaining above expectations and robust job growth, they have abandoned their earlier predictions of rate cuts in September and October this year, postponing the first rate cut to the second half of 2027.The previous view was based on the expectation that Trump would nominate Kevin Warsh to replace Powell as the chairman of the Federal Reserve, leading to a more accommodative policy. However, with changes in the economic situation, this view has shifted. The report mentioned, "We no longer expect the Federal Reserve to cut rates this year." They also pointed out that multiple shock factors affecting the economy, including the war in Iran, tariffs, and the rise of artificial intelligence, have made predicting interest rate changes more difficult.

According to Politico, Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini proposed to lawmakers earlier this year to remove a provision in the digital asset bill that requires cryptocurrency trading platforms to only list "non-manipulable" digital assets. The three exchanges are concerned that this would make it more difficult to list small-cap tokens.This amendment occurred after the Senate Agriculture Committee voted to advance the bill in January. The CFTC has long required exchanges to "self-certify" that the product contracts they list are not easily manipulable, but cryptocurrency companies believe this standard does not apply to the spot crypto market. The three exchanges stated that they have been working with Congress for years to push for comprehensive federal regulation of the digital asset market. Coinbase's Federal Policy Director Robin Cook stated that they hope to ensure consumers are protected by standards suitable for spot trading.

DTCC (Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) CEO Frank La Salla stated that the company is collaborating with multiple high-performance Layer 1 blockchains to explore migrating complex corporate actions such as dividend payments and tender offers to on-chain processing.La Salla mentioned at the Consensus 2026 conference that most blockchains still lack efficiency in handling corporate actions, while DTCC needs to process millions of dividend payments daily, thus requiring support from Layer 1 networks with high throughput and stability. DTCC is one of the core infrastructures of the U.S. capital markets, handling approximately $20 trillion in U.S. Treasury and securities transactions daily. The organization plans to launch a tokenized securities platform test in July this year, aiming for a broader rollout in October.La Salla believes that "tokenized collateral" could become the first large-scale institutional application scenario for blockchain. In the future, Asian institutions could even access dollar liquidity in real-time through on-chain collateral during New York's Sunday hours. However, he also warned that blockchain still faces issues such as scalability, liquidity fragmentation, and risk management, especially the efficiency of "net settlement" in traditional financial systems, which remains difficult to replicate in a decentralized environment.
