Goldman Sachs Delays Fed Rate Cut Forecasts to December 2026, Citing Inflation Pressure
ChainCatcher News, Goldman Sachs has postponed its forecast for the next two Fed rate cuts to December 2026 and March 2027. The report points out that energy cost pass-through could keep core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation around 3% for all of 2026, above the Fed's 2% target. Previously, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) also predicted core PCE wouldn't return to 2% until early 2027 at the earliest.
Goldman Sachs US economists believe that cooling monthly data and a weakening labor market must precede rate cuts. On April 29, the Fed maintained the federal funds rate at 3.50% to 3.75%, a meeting that saw four dissenting votes, the most since 1992. According to CME FedWatch data, the market probability of rates remaining unchanged at the June 17 meeting is 93.4%. Lindsay Rosner of Goldman Sachs Asset Management previously stated that hawks might prevail at the June FOMC meeting. For the crypto market, delayed rate cuts tighten liquidity flowing into risk assets, and a stronger dollar tends to suppress crypto asset valuations.
Data: Top Three DeFi Applications Return Nearly $100 Million in Revenue to Token Holders in 30 Days
ChainCatcher News, According to DefiLlama data, three relatively active DeFi applications—Hyperliquid, EdgeX, and Pump.fun—collectively distributed $96.3 million in revenue to token holders over the past 30 days. Hyperliquid led with $50.95 million, returning all revenue directly to holders with zero incentive spending; Pump.fun returned $22.09 million to holders from its $38.81 million total revenue; EdgeX distributed $23.26 million from its $8.26 million protocol revenue, indicating it may have utilized reserves or other income sources.
Annualized data shows Hyperliquid generated $946 million in revenue over the past year, Pump.fun $481 million, and EdgeX $236 million. This trend reflects the crypto community's shift from focusing on trading volume to actual revenue. Yearn.Finance founder Andre Cronje noted that DeFi in 2026 is no longer just a speculative venue but is becoming the backend infrastructure for the on-chain economy, with a stablecoin market of $320 billion, decentralized exchange monthly spot trading volume exceeding $160 billion, and perpetual contract DEX monthly trading volume reaching $540 billion.

Polymarket: Identified and Banned Multiple 'Ghost-Fill' Account Clusters, Will Strengthen Ban Mechanism
ChainCatcher News, Polymarket announced the latest progress on feature updates, including the rollout of latency spam mitigation measures to ensure order placement and cancellation operations, fixing the "insufficient balance/authorization" error, with another core issue affecting limit buy orders expected to be resolved in the coming days.
Additionally, Polymarket stated it has identified and banned multiple "ghost-fill" account clusters. The relevant accounts were all created before the deposit wallet system went live. Any account exhibiting "ghost-fill" behavior will be identified and banned, and the deposit wallet system will also prevent violators from mass-creating new accounts. More updates to resolve previous legacy issues will be released in the coming week.
South Korean National Tax Service Pilots Delegating Seized Virtual Assets to Private Custodian Management for First Time
ChainCatcher News, According to News1, the South Korean National Tax Service is piloting the delegation of seized virtual assets to private crypto custody institutions for safekeeping and management for the first time, with the trial planned to run until the end of this year.
Major South Korean custody institutions such as KODA, KDAC, Hecto WalletOne, BDACS, and InfiniteBlock are preparing to participate. Although the pilot project's budget is only about $5,800, the industry believes gaining a reference case as a "South Korean National Tax Service project" holds symbolic significance.
