BiyaPay Analyst: Breakthrough in China-US Trade Talks, Boost from US-UK Agreement Lifts Market, US Stock Futures and Bitcoin Soar

2025.05.12 20:16:19

May 12th. The most anticipated event on Wall Street, the high-level China-US economic and trade talks, took place in Geneva, Switzerland from May 10th to 11th. Subsequently, the high-level officials from China and the US announced that significant progress had been made during the talks. Driven by this news, US stock futures rose across the board on Sunday night. Dow futures, S&P 500 futures, and Nasdaq futures all increased by more than 1%. Meanwhile, the US and the UK reached a trade agreement framework on May 8th. President Trump described it as "groundbreaking" as the agreement will reduce tariff barriers and expand market access. This double positive news stimulated market sentiment. The three major US stock indices ended a three-week decline. Bitcoin soared by more than 6% in a single day and broke through the $100,000 mark. US Commerce Secretary Rutenick emphasized that the 10% benchmark tariff on multiple countries will remain unchanged in the "short term." However, the US-UK agreement may serve as a reference for future trade negotiations. Analysts pointed out that although the details of the agreement still need to be refined, the market's optimistic expectations for global economic recovery and the easing of trade tensions have significantly warmed up, and risk assets may continue to be strong in the short term. BiyaPay, as the world's first multi-asset trading wallet, showcases unique value. It has now connected 30 fiat currencies with 200 digital currencies for instant exchange.

Magic Eden: Current open orders are not affected by this vulnerability; users who used the EVM marketplace between February and October 2024 should revoke relevant contract authorizations.

Magic Eden released a statement noting that the vulnerability occurred in the Payment Processor V2 NFT trading protocol maintained by Limit Break. Magic Eden adopted this protocol to handle EVM network transaction settlements in 2024, but ceased using V2 in October 2024 and will fully shut down its EVM marketplace in Q1 2026. As such, NFTs currently listed on Magic Eden are not affected by this vulnerability. NFTs listed via its EVM marketplace roughly between February and October 2024 may be impacted, while listings made after October 2024 are generally not affected. The platform is in contact with protocol owner and maintainer Limit Break to explore additional risk mitigation measures, including pausing protocol transfers, and will continue investigating the full scope of the impact. Magic Eden reminds users who have listed or traded NFTs on its EVM marketplace to revoke relevant contract approvals on the Ethereum, Polygon, and Base networks. Users can filter their addresses via revoke.cash and revoke all NFT approvals marked as "approved for all". Magic Eden emphasizes that revoking approvals cannot retrieve assets that have already been transferred.

Wash is pushing for institutional reforms at the Federal Reserve, though the central bank's balance sheet reduction plan is moving slowly.

127 days after Kevin Warsh took office as Federal Reserve Chair, the institutional reforms he promised have begun to take effect. He has shortened the duration of post-Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) press conferences, rearranged reporters’ seating, and more importantly, downplayed traditional forward guidance while refusing to provide individual interest rate forecasts in the dot plot, forming a distinct policy communication style from his predecessors. Warsh’s new policy framework places more emphasis on overall financial conditions rather than the traditional concept of the "neutral rate". He argues that the neutral rate is only "academically useful", and policy tightening should be judged by a comprehensive look at asset prices, U.S. Treasury trading, the U.S. dollar exchange rate, credit costs and supply, and commodity prices. Given that the stock market, employment and credit markets remain strong, he may support further rate hikes if inflation stays persistently high. The Federal Reserve unanimously approved a 25 basis point rate hike last week, its first such move since 2023. Markets currently price in a 70% chance of another rate hike in October, and factor in the possibility of up to two more hikes before March next year. However, progress on Warsh’s push to reduce the Fed’s $6.7 trillion balance sheet has been slow. Some FOMC members prefer to wait for reports from the five working groups he established to be submitted early next year; meanwhile, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has risen above 5%, creating greater headwinds for the Fed’s current balance sheet reduction and increased bond supply to the market.

Sources: The Federal Reserve plans to raise banking regulatory thresholds.

Four sources familiar with the matter said the U.S. Federal Reserve is crafting a plan to raise the asset thresholds that trigger stricter oversight for large banks, a move that would exempt some lenders from costly extra regulatory burdens and potentially push industry consolidation. The Fed is expected to soon propose adjusting the thresholds at which banks must comply with stricter rules on balance sheet stress tests, liquidity, capital and other metrics to reflect inflation and economic growth factors, the sources added. Three of the sources noted the Fed will likely put forward these adjustments later this year. Current rules impose stricter requirements when a bank’s assets reach $100 billion, with even higher standards applying at $250 billion and $700 billion. Lenders say the thresholds set in 2019 have not kept pace with economic development, leading to stricter regulation than the actual risks these institutions pose.
