Tether And Circle To Meet Top South Korean Bank CEOs: Report

Tether And Circle To Meet Top South Korean Bank CEOs: Report

The post Tether And Circle To Meet Top South Korean Bank CEOs: Report appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Leading stablecoin issuers Tether and Circle are expected to meet with top executives from South Korea’s largest banks this week, according to local media. South Korea’s state-funded Yonhap News Agency reported Thursday that representatives from Tether and Circle are scheduled to meet with the top executives of South Korea’s four major financial groups. The executives are expected to discuss potential partnerships, the issuance of Korean won-backed stablecoins and the distribution of US dollar-backed stablecoins in South Korea. Shinhan Financial Group CEO Jin Ok-dong and Hana Financial Group CEO Ham Young-joo reportedly have scheduled meetings with Circle President Heath Tarbert on Friday. Young-joo is also reportedly scheduled to meet a Tether official on the same day. KB Financial Group’s chief digital and information technology officer Lee Chang-kwon and Woori Bank President Jeong Jin-wan also reportedly plan to meet Circle’s Tarbert at an undisclosed time. These represent South Korea’s “Big Four” banking groups, designated by the Financial Services Commission as domestic systemically important banks. South Korea readies stablecoin regulation The news follows reports from earlier in the month that South Korea is preparing to introduce a regulatory framework for a won-backed stablecoin. South Korean regulator, the Financial Services Commission, will purportedly unveil the bill as part of a second phase of the nation’s Virtual Asset User Protection Act. In early July, shares of at least three major South Korean banks surged following the filing of trademarks for stablecoins. This was followed by statements by the banking arm of South Korean IT giant Kakao Corporation announcing that the institution “plans to participate” in the stablecoin market actively. South Korea’s pivot to focus on stablecoin regulation follows the late June suspension of the country’s central bank digital currency (CBDC) tests in favor of focusing on supporting won-backed stablecoins instead. Prior to the development, eight major…

U.S. Stock Index Futures Display V-Shaped Recovery Amid Crypto Volatility

The post U.S. Stock Index Futures Display V-Shaped Recovery Amid Crypto Volatility appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: U.S. stock index futures show V-shaped recovery on August 22, 2025. No direct primary-source commentaries reference this move. Crypto-exposed equities report significant activity and volatility. On August 22, 2025, U.S. stock market futures exhibited a notable “V-shaped” recovery, with the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 futures all turning positive. This shift signals potential investor confidence and may influence related cryptocurrency markets, including notable crypto-exposed equities like BNB Treasury Company and recently delisted Windtree Therapeutics. U.S. Futures Surge with Crypto-Equities Activity Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Invest, amplified the market’s momentum by reallocating shares within the Robinhood platform, investing approximately $16.22 million. She stated, “Ark Invest added a total of 150,908 shares of Robinhood stock yesterday, which is approximately worth $16.22 million based on the closing price.” Market reactions varied across sectors. President Trump criticized Federal Reserve policy, claiming it hindered mortgage procurement—a notable external commentary amid the recovery. He remarked, “Can someone please tell Jerome ‘Too Late’ Powell that his actions are severely damaging the real estate industry? People are unable to get mortgages because of him.” Mixed Reactions Amid Federal Policy Criticism Did you know? V-shaped recoveries in U.S. stock markets often correlate with key economic announcements, impacting crypto-equities. BNB’s market snapshot highlights a recent price of $853.57, supported by a circulating supply of 139,287,464.16 according to CoinMarketCap.

CFTC Kicks Off Second Crypto Sprint Under Trump

CFTC Kicks Off Second Crypto Sprint Under Trump

The post CFTC Kicks Off Second Crypto Sprint Under Trump appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The initiative comes at a time of leadership uncertainty at the CFTC. President Trump’s nominee for CFTC chair, Brian Quintenz, is still awaiting Senate confirmation. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania lawmaker Ben Waxman introduced legislation to ban public officials from profiting off crypto while in office. CFTC Begins New Crypto Sprint The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) launched a second “crypto sprint,” which is aimed at expanding its engagement with market participants and implementing recommendations from the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets. Acting Chair Caroline D. Pham announced that the agency is now seeking public feedback on how it should regulate spot crypto trading, particularly when it comes to leveraged, margined, or financed retail activity on CFTC-registered exchanges. Pham explained that stakeholder input will be crucial for the regulator to evaluate new approaches to oversight in order to fulfill the Trump administration’s crypto agenda. Earlier this month, the CFTC unveiled its first crypto sprint initiative, which focused on exploring how spot crypto asset contracts could be traded on CFTC-registered futures exchanges. That announcement came shortly after the release of a 166-page White House report outlining a comprehensive strategy for digital asset markets.  White House report The report produced 18 recommendations for the CFTC, with two being directly under its authority. The first urged the regulator to issue clearer guidance on when cryptocurrencies should be classified as commodities, how decentralized finance (DeFi) entities can comply with registration requirements, and what activities CFTC-regulated entities are permitted to undertake in the crypto space.  The second called on the agency to amend existing rules to better accommodate blockchain-based derivatives. The other 16 recommendations involved coordination with the Treasury Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission. In its initial sprint announcement, the CFTC pledged to work closely with the SEC to build a rulemaking framework…

US Dollar Index rises to near 99.00 on fading Fed rate cut odds, Powell’s speech awaited

US Dollar Index rises to near 99.00 on fading Fed rate cut odds, Powell’s speech awaited

The post US Dollar Index rises to near 99.00 on fading Fed rate cut odds, Powell’s speech awaited appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. US Dollar Index appreciates ahead of Fed Chair Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium. Fed rate cut odds ease following the US Purchasing Managers’ Index data and Initial Jobless Claims. Cleveland Fed President Hammack stated there is currently no case for cutting interest rates. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the US Dollar (USD) against six major currencies, is extending its gains for the second successive session and trading around 98.80 during the Asian hours on Friday. Traders await Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium in Wyoming to gain clues on the September policy outlook. The US Dollar appreciates amid easing odds of Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate cut in September, driven by strong Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) and rising Initial Jobless Claims data from the United States (US). According to the CME FedWatch tool, Fed funds futures traders are now pricing in a 75% chance of a rate reduction in September, down from 82% on Wednesday. The preliminary S&P Global US Composite PMI inched higher to 55.4 in August, from 55.1 prior. Meanwhile, the US Manufacturing PMI rose to 53.3 from 49.8 prior, surpassing the market consensus of 49.5. Services PMI eased to 55.4 from 55.7 previous reading, but was stronger than the 54.2 expected. Moreover, US Initial Jobless Claims rose to 235K for the previous week, an eight-week high and above the consensus estimate of 225K, suggesting some softening in labor market conditions. On the sidelines of the three-day symposium, Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack said, during an interview with Yahoo Finance on Thursday, “I walk into every meeting with an open mind,” “But with the data I have right now and with the information I have, if the meeting was tomorrow, I would not see a…

Powell’s Jackson Hole-toespraak: markten kijken gespannen vooruit

Powell’s Jackson Hole-toespraak: markten kijken gespannen vooruit

Snelle crypto updates? Connect op Instagram! Check onze Instagram   De financiële markten staan vandaag vooral in het teken van de jaarlijkse conferentie in Jackson Hole, waar Fed-voorzitter Jerome Powell vanmiddag zijn langverwachte toespraak zal houden. Beleggers en analisten volgen het evenement op de voet, omdat de speech richting kan geven aan het toekomstige rentebeleid van de Amerikaanse centrale bank. Afnemende hoop op snelle renteverlaging Lange tijd rekenden markten bijna zeker op een renteverlaging in september. In juli lag de kans volgens de futuresmarkt nog op ruim 90 procent. Inmiddels is dat optimisme echter afgezwakt: de kans wordt nu ingeschat op ongeveer 73 tot 79 procent. De reden daarvoor ligt in recente economische signalen. De groothandelsprijzen stegen vorige maand tot het hoogste niveau in drie jaar, wat wijst op aanhoudende inflatiedruk. Tegelijkertijd blijft de werkloosheid historisch laag, waardoor de Fed minder haast lijkt te hebben om de rente te verlagen. INFLATION Here’s the data worrying investors: Inflation in the USA remains high despite steady interest rates. Many expect the Fed to maintain current rates longer, impacting the economy. However, there’s a 75% chance of a rate cut in September, per consensus. I’m not… pic.twitter.com/lE67rNpP5l — TokenTide (@TokenTideCrypto) August 22, 2025 Economische signalen en marktreacties De combinatie van stijgende prijsdruk en een verslechterde arbeidsmarkt maakt de afweging voor Powell complex. Terwijl consumenten nog steeds blijven uitgeven en de woningmarkt toch veerkrachtig oogt, zijn er ook tekenen van verzwakking, zoals een lagere banengroei in de afgelopen maanden. Deze gemengde data zorgen voor onzekerheid bij beleggers. De aandelenmarkten lieten dat deze week duidelijk zien: de Nasdaq verloor ruim 2 procent, de S&P 500 daalde meer dan 1 procent, en ook de Dow Jones sloot lager. Terrible numbers in Aug #JobsReport and it gets worse with the increasingly suspicious “revisions”… Here’s a deep-dive, plain English with what you need to know… pic.twitter.com/3Pdba7u1gb — E.J. Antoni, Ph.D. (@RealEJAntoni) September 1, 2023 Deze dalingen weerspiegelen ook duidelijk in de crypto markt, waar Bitcoin, Ethereum en veel andere coins de afgelopen week een neerwaartse trend tonen. Zowel Bitcoin en altcoins gaan de laatste tijd langzaam naar beneden. Bron: CoinGecko   Tegelijkertijd bleef de obligatiemarkt relatief rustig, met beperkte bewegingen in de Amerikaanse tienjaarsrente rond de 4,2 tot 4,3 procent. Analisten waarschuwen echter dat de speech van Powell vandaag alsnog flinke schommelingen kan veroorzaken, zeker omdat de liquiditeit in de zomer lager is dan normaal. Wat denk jij? Komen er rente verlagingen? En wat zal dat voor invloed hebben op crypto? Word vandaag nog lid van onze Discord-community en praat live mee over Powell’s speech, deel inzichten en ontdek kansen samen met andere crypto experts. Politieke druk en onafhankelijkheid Naast economische data speelt ook de politieke context een rol. Powell ligt onder een vergrootglas door druk vanuit Washington. President Trump heeft recentelijk openlijk gepleit voor renteverlagingen en leverde stevige kritiek op het beleid van Powell en de centrale bank. Hij en Powell staan niet op goede voet met elkaar en hebben zeer uiteenlopende ideeën over hoe de Amerikaanse economie moet worden bepaald.   Ook binnen de Fed zelf is er onrust, onder meer door de oproepen tot het aftreden van gouverneur Lisa Cook. Voor Powell is het daarom een uitdaging om zowel de markten als de politiek tegemoet te treden, zonder de onafhankelijkheid van de Fed in twijfel te laten trekken. BREAKING: A Department of Justice official appointed by President Trump has called for Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to remove Democratic Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, who faces a criminal referral for alleged mortgage fraud from FHFA Director Bill Pulte. pic.twitter.com/UPeJUcSNon — Officer Lew (@officer_Lew) August 21, 2025 Vooruitblik: alle ogen op Jackson Hole Vanmiddag om 16:00 uur Nederlandse tijd zal Powell spreken in Jackson Hole en meer duidelijkheid geven over de koers van de Amerikaanse centrale bank. Of hij expliciet zal hinten op een renteverlaging in september is nog onzeker. De markten wachten gespannen af hoe de boodschap van Powell de toon voor de komende maanden zal zetten.

Australian Dollar declines as US Dollar advances on easing Fed rate expectations

Australian Dollar declines as US Dollar advances on easing Fed rate expectations

The post Australian Dollar declines as US Dollar advances on easing Fed rate expectations appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Australian Dollar maintains its position near the two-month low of 0.6414 recorded on Thursday. AUD/USD came under pressure as the US Dollar strengthened following upbeat S&P Global US PMI data. The CME FedWatch Tool indicates a 74% chance of a September rate cut, down from 82% on Wednesday. The Australian Dollar (AUD) steadies near a two-month low at 0.6414 after registering losses in the previous four consecutive days. However, the AUD/USD pair lost ground as the US Dollar (USD) gained ground after the upbeat S&P Global US Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) data was released on Thursday. The AUD also received downward pressure as Consumer Inflation Expectations rose 3.9% in August, coming in below the previous increase of 4.7%. The preliminary S&P Global US Composite PMI picked up pace in August, with the index at 55.4 versus 55.1 prior. Meanwhile, the US Manufacturing PMI rose to 53.3 from 49.8 prior, surpassing the market consensus of 49.5. Services PMI eased to 55.4 from 55.7 previous reading, but was stronger than the 54.2 expected. Traders expect the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to remain cautious after last week’s rate cut. However, investors anticipate that the central bank may resume easing with a larger 50 basis-point rate cut, likely in November. Australian Dollar loses ground as US Dollar steadies ahead of Powell’s speech The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the US Dollar against six major currencies, is holding ground after registering gains in the previous session and trading around 98.60 at the time of writing.
