According to Jinshi News, the Eastern Alliance Investment Research Institute stated that the Federal Reserve is expected to remain inactive in the upcoming meetings. The agency pointed out that the current monetary policy has basically returned to neutral, and if energy costs rise and transmit to broader prices while economic growth accelerates, the risk of interest rate hikes will increase. Eastern Alliance expects the trend of slowing inflation to resume in 2027, which will allow the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates next year.

On Wednesday, the U.S. House Financial Services Committee held a hearing to discuss the changing roles of banks and fintech companies, with one focus being the "streamlined master account" proposal that the Federal Reserve is considering, which would allow certain crypto banks and fintech companies limited direct access to the Federal Reserve's payment system. A Federal Reserve master account allows financial institutions to directly use the Federal Reserve payment network and gain the most direct access to the U.S. dollar monetary system. Institutions without this account typically need to rely on partner banks that have master accounts to provide services.The so-called "streamlined account" is a limited-function version intended to provide limited access for new financial institutions. Republican Congressman Dan Meuser stated at the hearing that access to the Federal Reserve payment system is no small matter, and the core issue is which institutions should be allowed to directly use these critical payment channels. Traditional institutions like community banks are concerned that crypto and fintech companies are not subject to equally stringent regulation, and direct access could pose risks to security and stability. The crypto industry generally supports the proposal, arguing that direct access to the Federal Reserve payment system should have been opened long ago, as it would help reduce reliance on intermediary banks and promote innovation.In May of this year, Trump also signed an executive order requiring the Federal Reserve to assess policies for opening central bank payment channels to fintech companies, including crypto companies. Previously, the Kansas City Federal Reserve had approved Kraken's parent company Payward for a "limited purpose account" in March, sparking discussions in the market about the extent to which crypto and fintech companies should have direct access to Federal Reserve services. A representative from Anchorage Digital stated at the hearing that if the U.S. wants to continue as a global financial center, it needs to allow for innovative federal and state regulatory frameworks.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) participated in an exclusive interview on the Galaxy Brains podcast with Galaxy Research Director Alex Thorn. CZ stated that he is no longer operating the trading platform, allowing him more time to communicate with developers, and he is excited about some new features of BNB Chain. He mentioned that BNB Chain is developing the next version, which will be faster, cheaper, and include more privacy controls.CZ also advised blockchain developers not to make major upgrades during a bull market, but to push forward significant updates during the quieter times of a bear market. CZ said that he was skeptical about RWA (Real World Assets) about a year to a year and a half ago, uncertain whether the related assets would be traded or could develop. However, the speed of RWA's development surprised him, as stablecoins, oil futures, AI stocks, and others have gained good acceptance in the crypto community. This indicates that many people globally have been looking for access to these assets.Crypto should not be seen as an independent industry, but rather as a new technological tool that makes financial transactions faster, cheaper, and more transparent. He believes that traditional financial institutions can use blockchain, and crypto companies can also provide services similar to traditional finance, such as loans, savings, stock trading, remittances, and payments. In the future, there should not be a clear distinction between traditional finance and crypto, but rather a more globalized, faster, and lower-cost financial industry.
