LATEST NEWS: Here is the FOMC statement released after interest rates were left unchanged!

At its July meeting, the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged in the 3.50–3.75 percent range. The decision was approved by a vote of 9 to 3, with three policymakers dissenting in favor of a 25 basis point hike, signaling heightened internal support for tighter policy within the central bank. The dissenting votes underscored the hawkish stance of the decision. The Fed stated that U.S. economic activity continues to expand at a solid pace while inflation remains above the 2% target, partly due to recent shocks. The statement noted that job gains have kept pace with labor supply growth and the unemployment rate has remained low. It also highlighted that productivity and capital investment growth remain strong. The Federal Reserve affirmed it will continue to maintain ample reserve levels in the banking system. The FOMC stated it will keep closely monitoring incoming data and risks in pursuit of its goals of price stability and maximum employment.

LATEST NEWS: Long-Awaited Fed Interest Rate Decision Announced! Here is Bitcoin's Initial Reaction

The Federal Reserve has kept interest rates unchanged as expected. All attention is now focused on the press conference by new Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh, scheduled for 21:00. Bitcoin's initial reaction to the rate decision is shown in the provided chart. Chairman Warsh, like his predecessor Jerome Powell, has emphasized controlling inflation, with some investors perceiving his stance as tougher than anticipated. While rate cuts were expected under Trump-appointed Warsh, market expectations for a potential rate hike by year-end have strengthened. Notably, Trump's frequent public criticism of Powell for not cutting rates fast enough has ceased since Warsh took office, despite no major shift in the Fed's decision-making approach. An investment strategist noted significant continuity between the two Fed chairs. *This is not investment advice.

The Fed's Interest Rate Decision is Inevitable! Former Senior Fed Advisor Reveals His Forecast for Today!

Former Federal Reserve senior advisor John Faust stated he does not expect the Fed to raise interest rates at the FOMC meeting concluding today. He argued the Fed will not try to win credibility by deliberately surprising markets. In his assessment, Faust noted that Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh has used strong rhetoric on restoring price stability but largely failed to share details on how he plans to achieve it. This information gap has led to various market scenarios. However, Faust believes the reality is simpler: Warsh positions himself as a pragmatic, tough-minded policymaker, placing high importance on monetary policy communication while showing flexibility regarding balance sheet reduction. Faust compared Warsh's approach to the "refined intuitive approach" used by former Chairman Alan Greenspan. Faust stated that, unlike strict policy rules, this approach does not yield clear-cut answers on rate decisions. In current conditions, both a 25-basis-point hike and waiting for the next meeting could be reasonably justified. Aligning with market expectations, Faust predicts the Fed will choose to wait today. He believes the benefit of waiting outweighs the negatives, partly because he agrees that deliberately surprising markets to boost credibility is not a valid factor. Faust also argued there is no substantial macroeconomic difference between hiking today and holding steady, as a 25-basis-point move over eight weeks alone is not economically decisive. He emphasized that the important aspect will not be the decision itself, but how it is explained to markets. Warsh has so far advocated forward-looking policy without clear guidance on economic forecasts or the likely rate path. Faust warned that if the Fed does not explicitly state grounds for a hike and opts to wait for more data, markets may misinterpret the decision's meaning. Regardless of today's outcome, how Warsh explains the policy decisions at the meeting and press conference may be the most critical information for investors.

The US estimated damage from cryptocurrency fraud at $80.7 billion

According to a report by the Consumer Federation of America (CFA), U.S. citizens lost an estimated $80.7 billion to cryptocurrency fraud in 2025. This figure is derived from data reported to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), which received 181,565 crypto-related complaints with claimed losses of $11.37 billion—a 22% increase from 2024. The CFA applied a 7.1 multiplier to account for significant underreporting. Cryptocurrency fraud accounted for over half of all losses reported to IC3. The largest category of reported damage was investment fraud, totaling $8.6 billion (estimated $61.4 billion after the multiplier). The FBI specifically noted 61,559 crypto investment fraud complaints with losses of $7.23 billion. Individuals over 60 were disproportionately affected, reporting $4.43 billion in losses from 44,555 complaints. Overall, IC3 received over 1 million complaints across all internet crimes in 2025, with reported losses of $20.88 billion. The CFA estimates total losses at $148.2 billion, or $1,009 per U.S. household. For the first time, the FBI separately tracked AI-enabled crimes, logging 22,364 complaints with $893.3 million in reported losses (estimated $6.3 billion). The FBI also highlighted its "Operation Level Up" initiative, launched in 2024, which has prevented over $500 million in potential crypto fraud losses.

Central Bank Publishes Rules for Cryptocurrency Margin Trading

The Bank of Russia has published draft rules for margin trading of cryptocurrency and digital financial assets (DFAs). According to the proposals, both qualified and non-qualified investors will have access to leveraged transactions, though limits will be set for the latter in the future on transaction volume and permitted assets. Brokers may open a margin position for a client only if the trading platform provides an official risk rate for the specific asset. To combine crypto-assets and digital rights into one position, they must trade on the same technological platform or information system. The central bank is accepting feedback on the draft until August 12. Russia's organized cryptocurrency market is slated to launch from September 1, 2026, following the enactment of the "On Digital Currencies and Digital Rights" law. While this law establishes the core regulatory framework, additional norms, including these margin trading rules and previously published requirements for digital depositories and organized trading conditions, will be set out in separate Bank of Russia regulations.
