According to Jinshi reports, the market generally believes that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged, but it faces uncertainty in economic trends. The new chairman, Waller, is under close scrutiny regarding how he will lead the Federal Reserve. Despite a strong job market and consumer spending, inflation remains above target levels. Analysts expect Waller to reshape the Federal Reserve's communication and policy decision-making, potentially reducing forward guidance on interest rate expectations and adjusting the frequency of press conferences. The chief economist at Oxford Economics predicts that the Federal Reserve will not raise interest rates in June, but the wording will be adjusted, with a baseline forecast of a rate cut in December.

Currently, CrossEx has covered multiple mainstream trading platforms and supports over 5,000 assets as collateral or trading targets. Since the launch of its Beta version, both its asset scale and trading volume index have shown rapid growth.

According to a report by Reuters, informed sources revealed that the U.S. government has currently postponed adding Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, memory chip manufacturer Changxin Storage (CXMT), and more than 100 other companies marked as "national security risks" to the U.S. Department of Commerce's trade blacklist (entity list). The report pointed out that this move by the Trump administration aims to avoid escalating tensions with Beijing.It is reported that the aforementioned companies had already received approval for inclusion from the U.S. interagency committee last year, but the Department of Commerce has not publicly announced any new additions to the entity list since October of last year, marking the longest update stagnation period in over a decade. In addition, some other Chinese companies marked as potential sanction targets for allegedly providing equipment related to Russian drones, selling restricted Nvidia chips to Chinese universities, or manufacturing unmanned devices for the Chinese military have also not been formally included on the list.

According to BBX data, yesterday's interest rate hike in Japan coincided with the Federal Reserve's decision window, creating the most intense macroeconomic shock point of the week. The latest results of institutional stablecoin research were released on the same day, with the core dynamics as follows:Metaplanet Inc. (TSE: 3350), as the largest corporate BTC reserve holder in Asia and the third largest publicly traded company holding Bitcoin globally (holding 40,177 BTC at an average price of about $104,000, with a target of 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026), faced a dual-edged sword pressure from the exchange rate yesterday: after the Bank of Japan announced a 25 basis point increase in the policy interest rate to 1.0%, the yen strengthened, superficially lowering the book value of BTC denominated in yen, but Bitcoin subsequently rose against the trend (CoinDesk's headline on the same day: "Bitcoin rallies after Japan rate increase"), with actual improvements in USD-denominated holdings. The company's current holdings are approximately $2.64 billion (estimated at $65,750/BTC), with the latest capital move being the issuance of 8 billion yen (about $55 million) for the 20th bond (EVO FUND) on April 24 for additional BTC purchases. Analysts warn that if the BOJ's interest rate hike triggers large-scale unwinding of "Yen Carry Trade," global risk assets including BTC may suffer systemic deleveraging shocks—however, Metaplanet holds physical BTC rather than leveraged positions, with its main risk being the exchange rate conversion effect rather than forced liquidation.OSL Group (Hong Kong Stock Exchange: 0863.HK) and the School of Business at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University jointly released a white paper on June 16 (The Block included it on the same day at 9:01 am EDT), titled "Cross-Border Trade Payments Will Drive the Adoption of Regulated Corporate Stablecoins." The core conclusion is that the demand for corporate-level cross-border trade payments is the main path to drive the large-scale adoption of regulated stablecoins, with importance surpassing retail consumption scenarios. OSL Group holds the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission licenses 7 (automated trading services) and 1 (securities trading), making it one of the few compliant exchanges globally with both institutional custody and practical experience in stablecoin settlement. Previously, it provided institutional clients with approximately $130 million in USDGO stablecoin settlement services in April 2026. This white paper provides an industrial basis for the stablecoin policy framework of Hong Kong's financial regulatory authorities, and, together with Visa's stablecoin settlement of $7 billion annualized scale, SoFi SoFiUSD's launch, and Western Union's USDPT layout, constitutes multiple points of evidence accelerating the global adoption of corporate stablecoins.

Latest data shows that the circulation of USDD is approximately $1.44 billion, with a TVL exceeding $2 billion, and the collateralization rate maintained at a healthy level of 154.65% by the end of May. The decentralized stablecoin USDD, with its Peg Stability Module (PSM) offering 1:1 USDT/USDC zero-slippage instant exchange as a core advantage, has become a long-term favorable competitor in the stablecoin sector. Relying on the significant capital efficiency improvement brought by "no discount on funds," the PSM mechanism of USDD thoroughly addresses the slippage pain points in traditional exchanges, providing certainty for large transactions and volatile markets, and deeply integrating zero-slippage exchanges with stablecoin yield distribution, unlimited participation, flexible access without lock-up, and long-term sustainable operations.In a market where the total market capitalization of stablecoins exceeds $315 billion, USDD, through protocol layer innovation and transparent multi-chain layout, offers more efficient and robust capital management solutions for institutions, traders, and long-term holders, effectively reducing trading friction and market risk.

According to Premium Times, the Nigerian Senate passed a bill on Tuesday aimed at regulating cryptocurrency, protecting investors, and strengthening the digital economy. The bill passed its second reading and has been submitted to the Capital Market Committee for further review, with a report due in four weeks.The bill was introduced by Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin and aims to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for virtual assets, digital assets, and virtual asset service providers. It mandates that cryptocurrency exchanges apply for licenses and comply with transparency and regulatory requirements. Chief Whip Tahir Monguno stated during the debate that although Nigeria is one of the countries with the highest cryptocurrency adoption rates in Africa, it has fallen behind several African nations in regulating the digital financial ecosystem. The lack of a clear legal framework exposes investors to risks and allows illegal activities to thrive in the industry.

The Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Bitbank today issued a risk warning to users regarding the use of prediction market services such as Polymarket.The announcement pointed out that prediction platforms that trade on future events, elections, or sports results using cryptocurrency assets are mostly operated by overseas institutions.

Once an account is suspended, the user will be unable to log in, trade, or withdraw and deposit cryptocurrency assets and yen, and the platform will not be responsible for any losses incurred as a result.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, within 2 days, the SIREN controllers have essentially "broken down" 680 million SIREN (accounting for 94% of the total). This sell-off of SIREN led to a price drop of 96% (from $1.3 to $0.05), resulting in approximately 64.8 million USDT. About 200 million of these flowed into centralized exchanges such as Binance, Gate, and KuCoin, with most being bought in small amounts on-chain by hundreds of addresses after the price fell below $0.1. These small purchases are likely still orchestrated by the controllers, aiming to recover chips at low prices, increase tracking difficulty, and prepare for the next manipulation.
