Powell: Rate Cut is Imminent, but Unlikely to Have Confidence for a Cut in March

Federal Reserve Chairman Powells interview on “60 Minutes” aired, during which host Pelley asked Powell, “You disappointed a lot of people last week. The next meeting to decide the direction of interest rates will be in March this year. Based on what you know now, is there a greater or lesser likelihood of a rate cut at that time？”　　Chairman Powell responded, “The current overall situation is that the economy is strong, the labor market is strong, and inflation is decreasing. My colleagues and I are trying to choose an appropriate time to start reducing our restrictive policy stance. That time is approaching. We have stated that we want to have more confidence in inflation reaching 2%, and I think the committee is unlikely to have that level of confidence at the March meeting in 7 weeks. Except for two participants, all other participants believe it is appropriate to start easing the restrictive stance through rate cuts this year. So, thats the basic situation, and we just want to find the right time.”　　During the interview, Pelley also asked Powell, “In the December 2023 Fed forecast, is it still possible for this years rate cuts to bring interest rates down to around

FTX Seeks Approval for Swift Sale of 8% Stake in Anthropic

Cryptocurrency exchange FTX, which is undergoing bankruptcy proceedings, is preparing to sell its most significant remaining illiquid asset: an 8% stake in the AI startup Anthropic. In October 2021, Anthropic received a $500 million investment from Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of FTX. FTX has submitted a motion seeking court approval to sell its stake in Anthropic. Another motion has been filed, requesting a shortened review period for the sale motion, allowing it to be considered at the next bankruptcy court hearing on February 22. Objections to this motion must be submitted by February 15.　　The filing discloses the exact percentage of FTXs ownership in Anthropic, which is 7.84%, and outlines two primary procedures for selling the shares: auction or private sale. FTXs lawyers have redacted the price they seek for their Anthropic shares, citing that “public reference prices may adversely affect the debtors goal of obtaining higher and better offers for the Anthropic shares.”

Reuters: Options Products for U.S. Bitcoin Spot ETF May Take Several Months to Gain Approval

Several industry insiders have indicated that the approval of options products for the new US Bitcoin spot ETF may take several months, potentially diminishing the appeal of the underlying product.　　The delay in the options products for Bitcoin spot ETFs is attributed to the absence of established regulatory procedures to approve them. According to sources, the US SEC, responsible for overseeing the required technical rule changes for exchanges to launch options products, usually approves them several days after the ETF starts trading. However, as regulatory authorities classify Bitcoin as a commodity, options products for Bitcoin spot ETFs may also need approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).　　An insider revealed that products associated with Bitcoin spot ETFs could raise jurisdictional and regulatory issues, and the CFTC is still addressing these concerns. MarketVector Indexes Digital Asset Product Strategist Martin Leinweber stated, “This dual regulatory involvement adds complexity, and some might call it regulatory friction.” He anticipates the approval process may take between two to ten months. MarketVector Indexes provides benchmark data for VanEcks Bitcoin spot ETF.　　Another insider disclosed that some executives from exchanges are set to meet with CFTC officials soon to discuss this matter.　　Institutional investors often use options for risk hedging.

JPMorgan: Tether's Increasing Dominance is Negative News for Cryptocurrencies

JPMorgan has expressed concerns about the growing dominance of USDT (Tether) in the stablecoin market, despite the recent encouraging growth in the total capitalization of stablecoins.　　In a report released on Thursday, analysts at JPMorgan, led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, stated, “Given its lack of regulatory compliance and transparency, Tether faces the greatest risk. Therefore, we believe that the increase in Tethers concentration over the past year is negative for the stablecoin universe and the broader crypto ecosystem.”　　The analysts noted that stablecoin issuers face regulatory risks globally. In the United States, the “Clarity for Payment Stablecoins Act” is awaiting approval from Congress. Additionally, in Europe, the Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulations are expected to be partially implemented in June of this year. According to the analysts, stablecoin issuers who strictly adhere to existing regulations are likely to benefit from the upcoming regulatory scrutiny and may gain market share.

ARK Invest: Optimal 2023 Portfolio Bitcoin Allocation at 19.4% for Maximum Risk-Adjusted Returns

According to the “Big Ideas 2024” report released by ARK Invest, research indicates that, to maximize risk-adjusted returns, the optimal allocation of Bitcoin in a portfolio for the year 2023 is 19.4%, significantly higher than the 6.2% in 2022.　　If 2.5 quadrillion dollars of global investable assets were allocated to Bitcoin, it would have a significant impact on its price. Allocating 1% of this total would potentially drive the Bitcoin price to $120,000. Allocating 4.8% could push it to $550,000, and allocating 19.4% might result in a Bitcoin price reaching $2.3 million.　　Furthermore, the report highlights that smart contracts can facilitate the origin, ownership, and management of on-chain assets with only a small fraction of the financial costs associated with traditional assets. If financial assets move to blockchain infrastructure at a speed similar to the adoption of the internet and fees related to decentralized financial services are one-third of traditional financial services, smart contracts could generate over $450 billion in fees annually, creating a market value exceeding $50 trillion, with compound annual growth rates of 78% and 32% by 2030.
