Building the Bright Path While Secretly Crossing Chencang: Is Walsh Paving the Way for a September "Rate Cut"?

The title "Building the Plank Road Openly While Secretly Crossing at Chencang: Is Walsh Paving the Way for a September 'Rate Cut'?" suggests Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Walsh's hawkish stance may be a deliberate smokescreen. Academy Securities analyst Peter Tchir argues in a report that markets, currently pricing a 75% chance of a September hike, are missing a potential path to a September rate cut that Walsh himself might be quietly preparing. Tchir posits that Walsh's hawkish rhetoric aims to suppress long-term yield risks (with the 10-year Treasury yield falling recently) while creating room for a narrative shift based on upcoming data. The potential political endgame, according to this view, could be rate cuts in September and October, ahead of the midterm elections. This hinges on a political logic where the Trump administration's preference for lower rates remains unchanged. A core part of Tchir's argument involves redefining inflation metrics. He contends the Fed under Walsh may deprioritize the PCE index, criticizing its lagging components like Owners' Equivalent Rent (OER). Instead, he points to alternative, more real-time indicators like the New Tenant Repeat Rent Index (NTRR) and the Truflation daily index, which shows core inflation around 1.45%. He suggests the Fed could shift its data narrative to justify policy easing. Furthermore, Tchir downplays AI-driven inflation fears. He argues that consumer price sensitivity, evidenced by negative market reactions to price hikes (e.g., Apple), contradicts persistent inflation narratives. He also separates AI/data center spending—which he sees as relatively rate-insensitive—from broader consumer affordability issues, implying rate hikes are misdirected. Based on this analysis, Tchir sees a re-pricing of rate cut expectations as likely, creating opportunities in short-duration Treasuries. He maintains a neutral-to-slightly-bullish view on the long end of the yield curve. For equities, he recommends a significant overweight in energy (especially global nuclear assets) and, within defense/security themes, an overweight in biotech/pharma versus an underweight in semiconductors, expressing caution on AI/data center valuations.

Warsh's Debut Takes Shape: The Dot Plot Remains, but the Fed May Have Changed

The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady as expected in its June meeting, the first under new Chair Warsh. While the key dot plot of rate projections remained, Warsh notably did not submit his own forecast, signaling a deliberate move to weaken its forward guidance role. He emphasized a data-dependent approach, refusing to provide clear future policy signals and advocating for more restrained communication. The market interpreted this shift as heightening inflation constraints and the possibility of more aggressive tightening. Consequently, market pricing quickly adjusted: rate hike expectations for later in the year increased, U.S. stocks sold off, and the dollar strengthened. Warsh's debut suggests a fundamental change in Fed communication—moving away from "explaining the future" to merely "describing current assessments"—which could force markets to fundamentally reprice assets in a less predictable policy environment.

Fed's Internal Doves Flock to Hawkish Stance, Warsh's Debut "Between a Rock and a Hard Place"

U.S. Federal Reserve officials who previously advocated for rate cuts, including Governor Christopher Waller, have recently shifted their stance, with many now not ruling out the possibility of future rate hikes. This sets a challenging stage for new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's first policy meeting. Appointed by President Trump based on his dovish views, Warsh now faces a committee where the debate has pivoted from "when to cut" to "whether to hike," driven by persistent inflation above 3%, a strong labor market, and supply-side pressures from AI infrastructure demands and geopolitical tensions. Key figures illustrate the shift. Governor Waller, once concerned about employment, now says data has pushed him toward considering rate increases. Even moderate voices like Governor Lisa Cook, while expecting inflation to ease, have indicated readiness to hike if it fails to do so. Long-time hawks such as regional Fed presidents Beth Hammack, Lorie Logan, and Neel Kashkari have grown more vocal, arguing that the real policy rate is effectively falling and that action may soon be needed. The upcoming Fed meeting is expected to keep rates steady but will likely remove the "easing bias" from its statement, signaling a neutral stance between cuts and hikes. The quarterly "dot plot" is anticipated to show most officials projecting no cuts this year, with some potentially indicating hikes. Chair Warsh, a critic of the Fed's reliance on forward guidance like the dot plot, must navigate communicating this pivot using tools he has questioned, all while steering policy in a direction counter to the preferences of the president who appointed him. The consensus suggests the Fed's next move could well be a rate increase.

Cryptocurrency Targets the $49 Trillion US Retirement Market

Cryptocurrency is targeting the U.S. retirement market, valued at $49.1 trillion, through Self-Directed IRAs. These accounts allow investments beyond traditional stocks and bonds into assets like real estate, gold, and nearly 100 crypto tokens. IRA Financial founder Adam Bergman argues that mainstream institutions have limited access to such alternative assets to protect their fee-based revenue, not due to risk alone. Regulatory shifts, including a revoked cautionary note and a recent pro-alternative asset executive order, are opening doors. IRA Financial's new platform consolidates stocks, crypto, and other assets under one low annual fee, unlike typical asset-based charges. Bergman, a former tax lawyer and early Bitcoin adopter, cites examples like Peter Thiel's tax-free Roth IRA growth. However, experts warn of significant risks: self-directed IRAs lack custodian investment reviews, face custody vulnerabilities (highlighted by a $36M hack on IRA Financial's Gemini accounts), and risk disqualification if investors hold private keys. Despite risks, Bergman maintains high personal allocation to alternatives, seeing them as key to wealth building. The convergence of policy, platform innovation, and generational demand is pulling crypto into retirement planning, but requires careful, advised consideration due to its complexity and potential pitfalls.

Trump Halts AI Executive Order, Regulatory Efforts Succumb to Competitive Anxiety

In a last-minute reversal, former President Donald Trump halted the signing of a long-anticipated executive order on artificial intelligence. The order had sought to establish a voluntary, pre-release safety testing framework for advanced AI models developed by leading companies like OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and xAI. Under the proposed plan, companies would have shared their most powerful models with the U.S. government 90 days before public release for national security and cybersecurity risk assessments. Trump refused to approve the order, stating he did not want anything to "slow down our leadership," emphasizing America's lead over China in AI and the technology's role in job creation. This decision highlights the core tension in U.S. AI policy: balancing the management of systemic risks posed by frontier models—such as exposing financial system vulnerabilities—against fears that any regulation could stifle innovation and undermine competitive advantage. The move came despite significant public support for AI safety testing and followed internal administration debates. Some officials, alarmed by the capabilities of models like Anthropic's Mythos in uncovering critical security flaws, had advocated for stronger oversight. However, the industry and many within Trump's circle opposed even this voluntary framework, arguing it would hamper American innovation. The incident underscores how AI policy is increasingly intersecting with national security, economic strategy, and political governance.

The Warsh Storm Approaches

The article "The Warsh Storm Approaches" analyzes the potential market impact of Kevin Warsh becoming the new Federal Reserve Chairman, succeeding Jerome Powell. It argues that the current AI-driven stock market rally, concentrated in high-valuation tech giants, relies on a crucial premise: that long-term interest rates will eventually fall. This premise is now under threat as the 30-year Treasury yield remains persistently high, exceeding 5%, due to sticky inflation, worsening U.S. fiscal deficits, and deteriorating Treasury supply-demand dynamics. The core vulnerability is that high long-term rates pressure valuations by increasing the discount rate for future earnings. The article warns that Warsh's policy stance could intensify this pressure. Unlike Powell, Warsh is seen as more tolerant of market stress, more committed to quantitative tightening (QT/shrinking the Fed's balance sheet), and less inclined to provide implicit market support. His tenure at the Fed during the 2008 crisis shaped his skepticism about prolonged quantitative easing, believing it fuels asset bubbles without sufficiently boosting the real economy. While strong AI-driven earnings growth could theoretically offset higher rates, the narrative is currently concentrated in a few firms and hasn't yet translated into broad-based productivity gains for the wider economy. Therefore, the AI boom may not be enough to counter the valuation pressures from sustained high yields. Warsh's leadership could force the market to confront a new reality where the old supports—low long-term rates and a reliably supportive Fed—are no longer guaranteed, potentially triggering a reassessment of sky-high stock valuations.

Trump nominates Kevin Warsh as Fed Chair: A pro-crypto shift?

President Trump has nominated Kevin Warsh to replace Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve Chair, potentially ending their longstanding conflict over interest rate policy. Warsh, known for his inflation-hawk stance, is expected to pursue aggressive rate cuts amid rising geopolitical tensions and energy-driven inflation risks. The nomination faces Senate opposition, led by Senator Thom Tillis, who vows to block any nominee until a DOJ investigation into Powell is resolved. Meanwhile, Bitcoin surpassed $72,000, but market sentiment remains cautious. If Warsh cuts rates while inflation persists, it could weaken the U.S. dollar and boost appeal for crypto as a store of value.

Three Key Changes: Analyzing the Impact of New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh on the Crypto Market

Kevin Warsh's nomination as the new Federal Reserve Chair marks a potential shift in U.S. monetary policy, with significant implications for the crypto market. Warsh, a former Fed governor and critic of quantitative easing, advocates for a "limited central banking" approach, prioritizing price stability and financial system integrity over aggressive stimulus. His proposed policy mix—simultaneous interest rate cuts and balance sheet reduction—aims to ease government debt pressure while avoiding inflation resurgence. Warsh’s relationship with former President Trump, facilitated by family ties and shared critiques of the Powell-era Fed, adds a layer of political complexity. However, Warsh has historically emphasized Fed independence, creating tension between political expectations and his policy framework. For crypto markets, Warsh’s policies could bring short-term gains from rate cuts but long-term headwinds from sustained quantitative tightening (QT). This may reduce market liquidity, suppress asset valuations, and dampen volatility. Additionally, Warsh’s regulatory stance may accelerate crypto compliance, favoring established assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum while squeezing out riskier altcoins. The era of "policy-driven" crypto rallies may fade, giving way to fundamentals-based investing. Institutional adoption may grow, while retail speculation declines. Investors should focus on long-term value drivers—such as adoption cycles and technological upgrades—rather than short-term Fed policy shifts.

From Outflow to Taking Over: The Shift of South Korean Enterprises Behind 160 Trillion Won

South Korea's Financial Services Commission (FSC) has ended a long-standing ban on institutional cryptocurrency investment, permitting listed companies and professional investors to allocate up to 5% of their equity into top-20 cryptocurrencies by market cap. This marks a significant shift from the country’s previous stance, which restricted institutional participation since 2017 despite a highly active retail crypto market. The policy change is seen as a pragmatic response to substantial capital outflows, with over ₩160 trillion (approx. $1100 billion) moved to overseas crypto exchanges by Korean investors. By creating a regulated pathway for domestic institutional involvement, authorities aim to reduce off-shore risks and encourage the return of capital to local platforms. This move is part of a broader regulatory trend, including plans to introduce spot crypto ETFs, signaling a transition from restrictive measures toward a structured, supervised framework for digital assets. The adjustment reflects Korea’s acknowledgment of crypto as a legitimate, manageable asset class within its financial system.

Tiger Research: One Year into the Trump Administration, the Transformation of the U.S. Crypto Industry

Under the Trump administration's second term, the U.S. has aggressively shifted toward pro-cryptocurrency policies, aiming to integrate the industry into the existing financial regulatory framework rather than suppress it. Over the past year, key agencies including the SEC, CFTC, and OCC have implemented significant changes: the SEC moved from enforcement-heavy approaches to creating clearer rules for token classification; the CFTC recognized Bitcoin and Ethereum as commodities and allowed their use as collateral; the OCC granted national trust bank charters to major crypto firms like Circle and Ripple, enabling federal-level operations. Congress passed the GENIUS Act, establishing strict reserve requirements for stablecoins. Despite internal tensions—such as debates over privacy tools like Tornado Cash—the U.S. is advancing a cohesive strategy to absorb crypto into traditional finance, reducing uncertainty while supporting innovation and aiming to position itself as the global center for the industry.
