4E: US Stock and Crypto Markets Rebound, Focus This Week on US February PCE Price Index

2025.03.24 11:00:34

March 24th. Based on 4E monitoring, during the past week, the dovish remarks from the Federal Reserve and President Trump's statement regarding flexibility in the tariff plan successively boosted stock market confidence. After significant fluctuations, the three major indices closed up collectively for the week: the Dow increased by 1.2%, marking the largest weekly gain in more than two months; the S&P 500 rose by 0.51%, ending a four-week losing streak; the Nasdaq rose slightly by 0.17%, halting the previous four-week decline. However, large-cap tech stocks generally closed the week in a lower position, with Nvidia down by 3.26%, Tesla down by 0.53%, and experiencing a consecutive nine-week decline. The cryptocurrency market witnessed fluctuations but overall showed a mild upward trend. Bitcoin dipped below $81,000 on Tuesday and then rebounded. It surged above $87,000 on Thursday following the dovish comments from the Fed and hit a two-week high. After that, it oscillated around the $84,000 level. This morning, it experienced another rapid increase and was trading at $85,721 before the deadline, with a 3.18% increase in the past 7 days. Other major altcoins saw slight gains, with Ethereum striving to hold above $2,000, and the on-chain meme trend of BNB continued to attract attention. Signs of a market recovery are emerging, and investor sentiment is improving. In the commodities market, the US dollar index rose by 0.34% for the week, marking its first weekly gain this month. Tensions between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East continued to escalate, resulting in a more than 2% increase in crude oil prices for two consecutive weeks. Spot gold rose by 1.31% last week, extending a three-week upward trend. Last week, the Federal Reserve maintained interest rates unchanged, in line with market expectations, with the guidance for two rate cuts still in place for the year. Powell's remarks also brought some comfort to the market. This week, the focus is on the release of the Fed's preferred inflation measure - the PCE Price Index on Friday. Additionally, as the April 2nd "tariff deadline" approaches, market caution remains due to uncertainty. However, once the tariff outlook becomes clearer, the ongoing market turbulence of recent weeks may start to subside. As a financial trading platform that supports cryptocurrency, stock indices, commodities such as gold, and forex assets, eeee.com recently launched a USDT stablecoin financial product with an 8% annualized return, providing investors with a potential hedging option. 4E reminds you to be aware of market volatility risks and to allocate your assets rationally.

UK FCA publishes final crypto regulatory rules, effective October 2027.

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has released its "landmark" final crypto asset regulations, completing years of work to build a regulatory framework. Trading platforms, custodians, stablecoin issuers, and staking service providers must obtain FCA authorization to operate in the UK. Companies can apply for authorization between September 30, 2026, and February 28, 2027, while the mandatory regulatory regime will take effect on October 25, 2027. The rules cover capital and stress testing requirements, market integrity provisions to combat insider trading and market manipulation, and dedicated stablecoin standards. Trading platforms bear gatekeeping responsibilities, requiring them to vet tokens and publish disclosure documents in the FCA’s central database before listing. Crypto firms will be brought under the FCA’s consumer protection framework, giving retail customers access to the Financial Ombudsman Service for the first time. The regulatory scope also extends to decentralized finance (DeFi), applying to cases where an "identifiable controlling entity" exists. Following consultations, the FCA simplified some rules, including cutting the capital requirements for stablecoin issuers (the key capital ratio was reduced from 2% to 1%). David Geale, FCA Executive Director for Payments and Digital Finance, stated that the framework allows firms to avoid choosing between regulatory certainty and room for innovation. Industry groups have generally welcomed the new rules, noting they provide a clearer development path for the UK as a competitive jurisdiction.

Listed company Solana Company will support the construction of Kazakhstan’s $6 billion crypto supercity.

Nasdaq-listed crypto asset management firm Solana Company has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Kazakhstan’s Alatau City to assist in developing the city’s blockchain and cryptocurrency infrastructure. The partnership stems from a June roadshow held in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, during which 30 cooperation agreements were already secured, with total potential investment exceeding $6 billion. The collaboration will span four key areas: digital asset custody, blockchain infrastructure, acceleration of institutional adoption, and platform development. Solana Company will also participate in constructing the Alatau Crypto Industrial Cluster, a special economic zone pilot that allows daily cryptocurrency transactions. Notably, Kazakhstan previously partnered with the Solana Foundation to establish Central Asia’s first Solana Economic Zone in the capital, Astana. Last week, a Kazakh exchange launched the country’s first Solana ETF. Alatau City is part of Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s smart city vision, proposed in May 2024, which encompasses low-altitude aircraft, robot taxis, and a hydrogen-driven economy. However, the project faces real challenges: Kazakhstan’s central bank and financial regulators have raised concerns over the constitutional amendments required to underpin the crypto economy, while independent media reports indicate local residents still grapple with shortages of gas, water, electricity, and internet access.
