On May 13, Federal Reserve's Collins stated on Wednesday that she expects interest rates to remain stable for an extended period and believes that in certain scenarios, further tightening of policies may be necessary to ensure inflation returns to the 2% target. She pointed out that traditional monetary policy often 'overlooks' sudden supply shocks, such as rising oil prices. However, given that inflation has been above the target level for over five years, she believes that current patience in suppressing price increases is waning. Collins noted that the current tight monetary policy 'may need to persist for some time.' She remarked, 'The shocks have slightly increased the downside risks to economic activity, while the upside risks to inflation have further increased.' At the same time, she also mentioned that if inflation falls, the Fed may still consider cutting rates later this year. Collins added, however, that if conflicts continue and lead to further price increases, 'I can envision a scenario where tightening policies would be necessary to ensure inflation returns to 2% in a reasonable timeframe.'

On May 13, the Japan Blockchain Foundation is preparing to launch EJPY, a stablecoin pegged to the yen, on the Ethereum network. This move is another step in Japan's gradual expansion of regulated digital currency infrastructure. The initiative aims to create a blockchain-based asset representing the yen to support programmable payments, digital settlements, and tokenized financial applications. The foundation stated that EJPY will be issued on Ethereum and that the organization will act as the settlement entity behind the token. The project is positioned as part of a broader effort to modernize Japan's financial infrastructure using public blockchain networks rather than closed, permissioned systems. With its early implementation of a digital currency legal framework, Japan has become one of the most structured jurisdictions in the global stablecoin competition. The launch of EJPY reflects Japan's strategy to integrate digital currencies into the financial system through a regulated structure. Choosing to issue on Ethereum rather than building a proprietary blockchain facilitates the connection of the stablecoin with existing DeFi, tokenization, and settlement infrastructure, and demonstrates the increasing institutional recognition of public blockchains as a viable layer of financial infrastructure.

On May 13, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing informed sources, that recent investment offers for Anthropic have valued the company at over $900 billion, doubling its current valuation and surpassing OpenAI for the first time. Earlier this year, OpenAI was valued at $852 billion in a funding round. Anthropic's 'revenue run rate' is expected to reach $50 billion by the end of next month, having already exceeded $30 billion in April, compared to just $9 billion at the end of 2025. The company initially anticipated a tenfold growth this year, but in reality, it achieved approximately 80 times annualized revenue and usage growth in the first quarter. In contrast, OpenAI reported at the end of March that its monthly revenue reached $2 billion, equivalent to an annualized $24 billion. However, the data from the two companies is not entirely comparable, as Anthropic accounts for revenue through sales from cloud service partners, while OpenAI does not use the same method. An OpenAI spokesperson also stated that the monthly revenue figure is not intended to serve as an accurate annualized run rate.
