According to ChainCatcher, recent insights from the Federal Reserve meeting reveal a split in voting opinions. Barclays anticipates that the policy statement will incorporate hawkish language, suggesting a pause in rate cuts in January next year. JPMorgan believes the statement may be adjusted to focus on the extent and timing of further adjustments, indicating a reduced likelihood of rate cuts. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell may avoid providing explicit hawkish guidance, emphasizing that the threshold for rate cuts in early 2026 is high, signaling a short-term pause in rate reductions.

According to BlockBeats, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) has submitted a petition to the U.S. Senate, urging the withdrawal of the Cryptocurrency Market Structure Bill. The union warns that the proposal poses significant risks to pensions and the broader U.S. economy. The letter, initially obtained by CNBC, highlights that the Responsible Financial Innovation Act fails to establish adequate regulatory protections for cryptocurrency assets and stablecoins. AFT President Randi Weingarten expressed concerns that the bill lacks necessary regulatory measures and common-sense safeguards, potentially exposing working families, who currently have no ties to cryptocurrency, to economic risks and threatening the stability of their retirement security. Representing 1.8 million members, the union emphasized its fundamental mission to maintain a stable and reliable pension system for retired workers. The primary opposition to the bill stems from fears that it could pave the way for digital assets to enter retirement investment portfolios, including AFT pensions. Weingarten pointed out a critical concern that the bill might allow non-crypto companies to tokenize equity through blockchain, circumventing existing securities law regulations. She noted that this could bypass requirements for registration, disclosure, and intermediary regulation, weakening investor protection channels and regulatory accountability. Weingarten warned that this loophole and the erosion of traditional securities law could have catastrophic consequences, as even if pensions and 401(k) plans invest in traditional securities, they might ultimately hold unsafe assets. Beyond retirement pensions, the letter also highlighted the bill's insufficient regulation of illegal activities in the crypto market, cautioning that its vulnerabilities could lay the groundwork for the next financial crisis.

According to ChainCatcher, analyst Neil Keane has indicated in a report that the risks surrounding Wednesday's Federal Reserve policy meeting lean towards less 'hawkish' rhetoric and a willingness for further rate cuts, which will weaken the dollar. Keane noted that the dollar is expected to decline, influenced by seasonal factors and year-end capital flows, while stocks and metals are anticipated to rise. Currently, the market widely expects a reduction in the federal funds target rate by 25 basis points to 3.5%-3.75%.

According to ChainCatcher, the Indian government is significantly enhancing its cryptocurrency enforcement training to address increasingly complex financial crimes involving digital currencies. This initiative involves multiple agencies, including the Financial Intelligence Unit-India (FIU-IND), the Enforcement Directorate (ED), and the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB). The training focuses on blockchain forensics, on-chain analysis, seizure of crypto assets, and identification of wallet addresses. This move is a direct response to the mandatory registration requirement for Virtual Digital Asset Service Providers (VDASP) with FIU-IND and marks a shift from ambiguous regulation to structured oversight in India. The training aims to equip law enforcement personnel with the skills necessary to trace, seize, and prosecute crimes involving virtual digital assets (VDA).
