Recently, the US financial market has undergone significant changes. The Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point reduction in the benchmark Intrerest Rate during its latest monetary policy meeting, adjusting the rate range to 4.00%-4.25%. This move marks the first shift towards easing monetary policy since December of last year, attracting widespread attention from the market.

The results of the meeting showed that the majority of officials appointed by Trump support the decision to cut interest rates, with only board member Mylan holding a different opinion, advocating for a larger rate cut. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stated in a subsequent press conference that this rate cut is mainly based on risk management considerations, rather than a rush to push for large-scale policy adjustments.

It is noteworthy that Federal Reserve officials have significant differences regarding the direction of interest rates in 2025. Most officials tend to favor gradual interest rate cuts, with 9 expecting a cumulative reduction of 75 basis points throughout the year. However, there are also officials with different views, such as Milan, who believes that more aggressive interest rate cuts should be implemented, suggesting a reduction of 150 basis points.

At the same time, the U.S. Congress is pushing a piece of legislation called the "BITCOIN Act," aimed at incorporating Bitcoin into the national strategic reserve assets. The bill was proposed by Senator Cynthia Lummis, with plans to acquire 1 million BTC over the next 5 years. Industry leaders, such as MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor, have expressed strong support for this, believing it will significantly enhance the long-term competitiveness of the U.S. financial system.

In terms of regulation, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has also made significant adjustments by passing new listing rules. The new regulations allow commodity trust shares, including digital assets, to be listed directly without the need for individual applications. This policy change not only simplifies the listing process for digital assets but also opens up new avenues for the development of the cryptocurrency market.

These policy changes reflect a positive shift in the attitude of the US government and financial regulators towards the digital asset sector. As monetary policy becomes more accommodative and digital asset regulations gradually improve, the cryptocurrency market may usher in new development opportunities. However, investors still need to carefully assess risks and closely monitor policy trends and market changes.
