Federal Reserve's Harker: May Temporarily Hold Rates Steady

2025.02.08 00:32:20

February 8th: On this day, the US January seasonally adjusted non-farm payrolls reached 143,000. This figure is significantly lower than the market's expected level of 170,000 and hits a new low since October of last year. Federal Reserve's Gullsby provided comments on the macro data, stating, "This is a rather robust non-farm payroll report. It appears that we are on the verge of achieving full employment. Based on recent observations, I am optimistic that tariffs will not ultimately pose a significant obstacle to trade. I am satisfied with the current economic development path. Tariffs may act as a 'wrench' in the supply chain. Wage growth is roughly in line with the 2% inflation level. Long-term market-oriented inflation expectations suggest that the market believes the Fed will be able to keep inflation under control at 2%." "Currently, the Federal Reserve is keeping interest rates unchanged. However, in the next 12 to 18 months, interest rates will be slightly lower than the current level. Under greater uncertainty, the pace of interest rate cuts will slow down. In the process of achieving the 2% inflation target, we may temporarily maintain interest rates unchanged. The neutral balance point for interest rates has decreased. Stable interest rates need to be achieved on a 'cautious' timetable. I do not think the Federal Reserve will be involved in any sovereign wealth fund." (Jin Shi)

Poland Rejects Strictly Regulated Cryptocurrency Market Bill

On Dec. 2, Polish President Karol Nawrocki vetoed the heavily regulated "Cryptocurrency Market Regulation Act" — a move that earned praise from the crypto community and sharp criticism from the Polish government. The Polish Presidential Palace stated the act’s provisions "pose a genuine threat to Poles’ freedom, property rights, and national stability." Key reasons for the veto include: - Risk of abuse from rules allowing authorities to easily block crypto websites; - Excessive complexity of the act leading to overregulation; - High regulatory costs that could stifle startup growth and favor foreign firms and banks. The president noted overregulation would drive businesses to relocate to the Czech Republic, Lithuania, or Malta instead of operating and paying taxes in Poland.

Wintermute: Market Structure is Improving, Mainstream Tokens are No Longer as Fragile

On December 2, crypto liquidity provider Wintermute released a market report noting that Bank of Japan (BOJ) rate hike expectations have fully erased last week’s stable market conditions and triggered widespread deleveraging. The market structure has been cleanly reset: leverage has dropped sharply, funding has returned to neutral, and spot participation has risen markedly. While trading now hinges on macro logic, major currency pairs no longer look as fragile. From a structural standpoint, conditions are actually improving: Basis levels have fallen to cyclical lows—Bitcoin’s 90-day annualized basis is around 4-5%, Ethereum’s 3-4%—reflecting ongoing accumulation of leveraged long positions. Total open interest (OI) for perpetual contracts has declined from ~$230 billion in early October to ~$135 billion currently, clearing excess leverage and reducing the risk of further cascading liquidations. Spot trading volume share has increased, and despite the Thanksgiving holiday impact,
