Kevin Warsh, incoming chairman of the US Federal Reserve, during a swearing-in ceremony in the East Room of the White House in Washington, DC, US, on Friday, May 22, 2026. Yuri Gripas | Bloomberg | Getty Images Divided Federal Reserve officials indicated at their last meeting that they will address persistent inflation this year with one interest rate hike. History, though, suggests that policymakers will have a hard time stopping there. In fact, there have been few instances over the past 35 years or so when the Fed has only made one rate move, be it up or down. Rather, the central bank’s Federal Open Market Committee tends to move in rate cycles, where it adjusts policy multiple times over a period to meet whatever goal it seeks to accomplish. “A lot of people are talking about one rate increase. The committee does not generally do that. I mean, what’s the point of t

The post CLARITY Act Misses July 4 Deadline, Senate Timeline Now Tightens appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CLARITY-ACT News The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) failed to clear Congress before the July 4 target the White House had set, leaving US crypto market-structure reform stalled in the Senate. Missing the Independence Day window does not kill the bill, but our reading of the process is direct: the rapid regulatory framework markets had priced in will not arrive in the near term. A White House crypto adviser had pushed lawmakers to advance the measure before the holiday, and that window has now passed with no final text.

Its central unresolved question is jurisdiction: whether a given token is a security under the SEC o

The post US Dollar: Warsh risks skewed to cuts – Commerzbank appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Commerzbank’s Antje Praefcke argues that interest rate differentials are again driving the Dollar, with USD reacting strongly to weaker US data as markets reassess new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh. She suggests limited scope for further hikes but growing risk of earlier rate cuts, leaving USD more vulnerable to negative data than supported by positive surprises. Fed uncertainty weighs on Dollar outlook “Nevertheless, in my view, the risks are asymmetrically distributed. Despite the hawkish surprise at the start of his tenure, the risk is likely growing that, in the face of weak data and falling inflation, Warsh will want to cut interest rates faster and more aggressively. Even if the USD is likely to hold up well for now, it will probably suffer more from weak data than it will appreciate from positive data.” “This is because there is hardly any room for expectations of further rate hikes amid fa
