Startup JPYC Issues First JPY-Backed Stablecoin

3 days ago

On October 27th, the Japanese startup JPYC announced today the formal launch of a stablecoin pegged at a 1:1 ratio to the Japanese Yen. This stablecoin is backed by domestic savings and Japanese government bonds. Ryozo Himino, the deputy governor of the Bank of Japan, recently stated that stablecoins are expected to become an integral part of the global payment system and will partly replace the function of bank deposits. JPYC stated that in the initial stage of the project, transaction fees will be waived to expand the user base, and revenue will be generated through holding government bond interest. Tomoyuki Shimoda, a scholar at Rikkyo University and a former central bank executive, estimates that it will take about 2 to 3 years for the Japanese Yen stablecoin to be widely adopted in Japan.

Powell: There Will Be Reason to Slow Down Interest Rate Cuts If There Is No New Information

On October 30th, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stated that if no new information is received and the economic situation remains unchanged, there would be grounds to decelerate the pace of interest rate cuts. It is hoped that by December, more sufficient data can be obtained. The absence of data during the government shutdown may imply the necessity to slow down the pace of policy adjustments.

Fed's Bullhorn: FOMC Not Fully Endorsing Market's Pricing of Rate Cut in December

On October 30th, "Fed Whispers" Nick Timiraos wrote that Powell's press conference suggested that the FOMC as a whole did not concur with the market's previously high pricing of a December rate cut. Powell stated, "There exists a range of views regarding December, and I believe we will take those into account as we make decisions moving forward." And he emphasized that a December rate cut "is not something that should be regarded as a given. It is far from being determined." This went beyond their usual assertion that "policy is not on a preset course" and was evidently an attempt to regain some policy flexibility in order to avoid being constrained into a specific action. What if there is no government data available to assist in clarifying the economic situation? Powell noted that this means there is a "very high degree of uncertainty, and that can become a factor in a more cautious approach."
