On June 17, a bipartisan group of senators led by Cynthia Lummis sent a letter to U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, urging the department to preserve state regulatory authority over certain stablecoin issuers while developing implementation rules for the GENIUS stablecoin legislation. The GENIUS Act was signed into law last year, establishing a federal regulatory framework for stablecoins, requiring that stablecoins be fully backed by U.S. dollars or similarly high-liquid assets, and mandating annual audits for issuers with a market capitalization exceeding $50 billion, while also setting rules for offshore issuance. The legislation allows stablecoin issuers with a market capitalization of no more than $10 billion to be regulated at the state level, provided that the relevant state regulatory frameworks are 'substantially similar' to federal requirements. The senators expressed concern that the rules previously proposed by the Treasury did not clearly outline the timeline and standards for state regulatory framework applications, reviews, and certifications, creating uncertainty for states. The letter noted that legislative cycles vary significantly across states, with some states even adopting a biennial legislative cycle, thus necessitating a flexible and continuously open certification mechanism to ensure that states can apply for certification as demand arises, rather than being constrained by timing mismatches that limit innovation and competition.

Saudi Media Releases Detailed 14-Point Memorandum of Understanding Between the U.S. and Iran

On June 17, CNN reported that an Israeli source revealed Israel had requested the United States to provide the text of the US-Iran memorandum for review but was denied. The source stated that one reason for the US refusal was the Trump administration's concern that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu might leak the content of the memorandum before its official release. Netanyahu held a press conference on the evening of June 15, where he barely mentioned the memorandum in his opening remarks. During the subsequent Q&A session, he stated that he and Trump 'do not always agree.' He also remarked, 'We still do not know what this memorandum is about.'

On June 17, U.S. intelligence assessments indicated that Iran, having demonstrated relevant capabilities during conflicts, still has the potential to close the Strait of Hormuz again. Although an agreement to reopen the Strait is expected to be reached, Tehran retains capabilities in missiles, drones, fast boats, and mine-laying, which could disrupt global energy transportation. Intelligence officials stated that Iran has gained leverage over this critical trade route and may use regional energy infrastructure as a tool for pressure.

On June 17, during the G7 summit in France, U.S. President Trump stated that negotiations for the U.S.-Iran agreement have entered the second phase, which is expected to progress more smoothly. Despite Trump's repeated emphasis that the U.S. will not provide financial support to Iran, it has been revealed that Iran will receive several economic incentives to reach the preliminary memorandum of understanding and the final agreement. On that day, Trump announced that the U.S. and Iran have successfully signed the memorandum of understanding online, and the negotiations have entered the second phase, which he described as 'should be easier than the first phase.' Trump also mentioned that a press conference will be held to officially announce the text of the memorandum and it will be submitted to the U.S. Congress for review. He emphasized that 'the text clearly states that Iran will not have nuclear weapons,' which is a core bottom line; otherwise, it will face devastating strikes from the U.S., and the U.S. will not provide any financial support to Iran.

On June 17, SpaceX saw its stock rise for the third consecutive trading day, surpassing Amazon to become the fifth largest company by market capitalization globally. The stock closed up 4.8%, pushing its market value to $2.65 trillion, approximately $8 billion higher than Amazon. At one point during trading, the valuation of Elon Musk's rocket and AI company exceeded that of Microsoft, briefly making it the fourth largest company in the world. Part of the surge can be attributed to the limited number of SpaceX shares available for trading, with only about 4.2% of the total shares being tradable on the first day of its IPO. This may lead to more pronounced price fluctuations and significant changes in market capitalization. SpaceX's stock price has increased by 49% from its IPO issuance price of $135 per share, indicating strong investor demand and alleviating concerns about the record size of this IPO being too large for the market to absorb.

On June 17, options traders' views on the Federal Reserve's recent rate path have become increasingly divergent, with various bets ranging from expectations of rate cuts in the coming months to differing degrees of rate hikes. Swap market pricing indicates that it is almost certain the Fed will maintain rates at its meeting on Wednesday, with all eyes turning to Chair Waller's first press conference for clues about future policy. Although the U.S. and Iran are set to formally sign a temporary peace agreement, leading to a drop in oil prices to a three-month low and providing some relief to inflationary pressures, future policy remains uncertain.
