Odaily News ANZ Bank pointed out in a report to clients that the Federal Reserve meeting this week is likely to keep the federal funds target rate unchanged. Although the latest macroeconomic data show that the job market has cooled, it remains relatively resilient. The bank believes that the stability of the job market gives the Fed time to pay attention to the upcoming inflation report at a time of rising tariffs and rising inflation uncertainty. ANZ Bank expects that Fed Chairman Powell will continue to emphasize patience, pointing out that monetary policy is in good shape and can respond appropriately to developments. (Jinshi)

Odaily News Gold prices moved toward a record high on Monday as the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran prompted investors to turn to safe-haven assets. In early Asian trading on Monday, gold prices rose 0.6% to above $3,450 an ounce, about $50 away from the all-time high set in April. The sudden rise in geopolitical risks has added more momentum to the rise in gold prices, which has been driven mainly by the threat to global economic growth posed by Trump's aggressive tariff agenda. Gold has risen more than 30% in 2025, with central banks seeking to diversify away from the dollar being another important driver. (Jinshi)

Odaily News Arthur Azizov, founder of B2 Ventures, pointed out that although the total market value of the cryptocurrency market has reached 2.49 trillion US dollars (expected to reach 5.73 trillion in 2033), its liquidity structure has serious hidden dangers. The order books of centralized exchanges will shrink rapidly when the market fluctuates, especially for tokens outside the top 20 in market value. Liquidity is scattered across different exchanges and lacks a unified pricing mechanism. During the market crash in 2022, mainstream tokens also experienced significant slippage on top exchanges. The recent flash crash of Mantra's OM token once again proves that market depth can disappear in an instant under pressure. Experts believe that the solution needs to start from the protocol layer and improve the fragmentation through native cross-chain bridging and unified liquidity routing technology (some L1s have already adopted). Currently, 70%-90% of stablecoin trading volume is completed by automated trading, and technical bottlenecks are gradually eliminated. (Cointelegraph)

Odaily News Chris LaCivita, co-manager of Trump's campaign, said at the Coinbase Crypto Summit that Trump's support for cryptocurrency has become a key factor in his successful inauguration in 2024. LaCivita pointed out that the issue of cryptocurrency has helped the Republican Party attract voter groups that have traditionally leaned toward the Democratic Party, including African Americans, Asian Americans and young voters. Data shows that 28% of Asians and about 20% of African Americans hold cryptocurrencies, far higher than the 14% of white people. The Trump administration has written crypto-friendly policies into the Republican platform, promising to protect Bitcoin miners and ban central bank digital currencies. At the same time, political action committees backed by Coinbase and Ripple Labs have invested more than $200 million in the 2024 election, boosting the influence of crypto assets in American politics.
