πŸš€ Federal Reserve Governor Supports 50 Basis Points Rate Cut

According to BlockBeats, on September 26, Federal Reserve Governor Kugler expressed her strong support for the Federal Reserve's decision to cut interest rates by 50 basis points, highlighting the focus on the labor market. Kugler stated, 'The labor market remains resilient, but the FOMC now needs to balance its focus to continue making progress on inflation while avoiding unnecessary pain and economic weakness. I firmly support last week's decision to cut rates by 50 basis points, and if inflation continues to progress as I expect, I will support further rate cuts.'

Kugler anticipates that the inflation data to be released this Friday will show continued easing of price pressures, with the August PCE price index annual rate possibly as low as 2.2%. She noted that it is appropriate for the Federal Reserve to focus on the labor market now, which has cooled but 'remains resilient,' with a 4.2% unemployment rate that is 'still quite low by historical standards.'

πŸš€ US Congressman Proposes DeFi Opportunities Act For Regulatory Study

According to PANews, U.S. Congressman Warren Davidson introduced the 'Assessing DeFi Opportunities Act' on Tuesday. The bill calls for a joint study on decentralized finance (DeFi) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and the Secretary of the Treasury. Davidson emphasized the crucial role DeFi plays in the future of capital markets but expressed concerns over the Biden-Harris administration's regulatory approach to the sector. He stated, 'This legislation ensures that the federal government can implement data-driven financial regulation without disrupting the digital market's development or compromising the privacy offered by DeFi.'

Lawmakers noted that as the number of users continues to grow, the total market value of DeFi has surged to approximately $75 billion. However, Davidson warned that excessive regulation could stifle innovation and drive investment overseas. The proposed study aims to help regulators understand the benefits of DeFi, such as blockchain's operational resilience, market competition, and user privacy protection. Davidson stressed that regulators need to 'take a measured approach' to ensure DeFi can thrive without jeopardizing user privacy or innovation.
