- 09:53Financial Times: Stablecoins Will Usher in a "Supercycle" Reshaping the Banking Industry Within Five YearsAccording to ChainCatcher, citing a report by the Financial Times, technology experts predict that blockchain stablecoins will trigger a "super cycle" within five years, with more than 100,000 such payment systems potentially emerging worldwide, forcing a fundamental restructuring of the financial system. Stablecoins threaten the traditional banking deposit base and the ability to supply credit, as they facilitate payments but not credit. The European Central Bank is concerned about the loss of sovereignty and is accelerating the launch of digital currency. Commercial banks are fighting back by converting traditional deposits into "deposit tokens." Lloyds Bank CEO Charlie Nunn stated that combining AI can redesign financial services. JPMorgan's daily tokenized payment volume is about $5 billion, which is still small compared to mainstream payments of $15 trillion. However, tokenized bank deposits have advantages: 24/7 transfers without correspondent banks, anti-money laundering protection, central bank endorsement, the ability to pay interest, and support for smart contract automation. These features are expected to help banks maintain regulatory advantages and withstand competition from stablecoins.
- 09:39Analysis: After the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, capital flows out of the United States, and assets in Europe and Asia attract investmentChainCatcher news, according to financefeeds, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 0.25% as expected (with 3 dissenting votes). Powell confirmed that after another rate cut in 2026, there will be a pause. The market has started to digest dovish remarks from new chairman candidate Kevin Hassett (who mentioned the possibility of more than three rate cuts). Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve announced monthly repurchases of about $40 billion in short-term Treasury bonds, lowering real interest rates and providing liquidity, which is mildly positive for stocks, metals, and cryptocurrencies. Compared to the US dollar, major currencies such as the euro and yen are showing a hawkish narrative. The yield on Germany's 30-year government bonds reached a record high, attracting capital inflows into European assets. Precious metals surged strongly: gold broke through $4,300, silver hit a historic high, and platinum and palladium also reached mid-term highs. Bitcoin is fluctuating narrowly in the $92,000-$93,000 range, trying to find demand after large ETF outflows. Bloomberg experts say hedge funds are preparing for a rebound. The DAX index has been forming a large consolidation pattern since June 2025 and is expected to break out; the Hang Seng Index is consolidating above the 200-day moving average and may reverse after testing the 24,500 support area.
- 09:39Market Analysis: Dovish Remarks from Powell and the Federal Reserve's Dovish Response Mechanism Support Gold's RallyChainCatcher news, according to Golden Ten Data, Investinglive analyst Giuseppe Dellamotta stated that recently, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell made more dovish remarks than expected at the FOMC press conference, providing support for gold prices. He downplayed inflation risks and emphasized the weakness in the labor market, suggesting that the Federal Reserve has a higher tolerance for higher inflation than for labor market weakness. This week's focus is on the US Non-Farm Payrolls report and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report. Currently, the market expects the Federal Reserve to cut rates by 57 basis points by the end of 2026. If US economic data is strong, especially in the labor market, we may see a hawkish adjustment in market rate expectations, leading to a decline in gold prices. On the other hand, weak data should further support precious metal prices, as the market will bet on rate cuts ahead of time. From a more macro perspective, due to the Federal Reserve's dovish reaction mechanism, real yields may continue to decline, so gold prices should maintain an upward trend. However, in the short term, further hawkish adjustments in rate expectations may put pressure on the market.
