Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stated that if policy is not in the right place, action will be taken to adjust it.

Nick Timiraos, the "Federal Reserve's Voice," recently wrote: Federal Reserve Chairman Powell said that even after last week's rate cut, he still believes the Fed's interest rate stance "remains slightly tight," suggesting that there is room for more rate cuts this year if officials continue to judge that recent labor market weakness outweighs inflation setbacks. Powell largely reiterated the views he expressed at the press conference following last week's rate cut. He emphasized the challenges the Fed faces in achieving its twin goals of maintaining low and stable inflation and promoting a healthy labor market. "Two-way risks mean there is no risk-free path," Powell said. "Cutting rates too much, too quickly could keep inflation close to 3% rather than the Fed's 2% target, while maintaining a restrictive policy stance for too long could unnecessarily weaken the labor market." Powell also reiterated his view that slowing job growth this summer necessitated last week's policy shift to focus more on the labor market than earlier this year. The slightly tighter rate setting puts the Fed in a good position to respond to potential economic developments. (Jinshi)

Vitalik Buterin stated in a post on the X platform that Base, as an L2 platform built on Ethereum, enhances user experience through centralized features while relying on Ethereum's decentralized underlying infrastructure for security. Base lacks custody of funds and cannot steal user assets or block withdrawals, which meets the definition of L2 beat Stage 1. He noted that if L2 ceases to operate, users can still automatically retrieve their funds through Ethereum contract logic. Furthermore, there are existing cases demonstrating that L2 can prevent operators from censoring transactions. Vitalik emphasized that L2 is an extension of Ethereum, not a custodial server. User funds are ultimately controlled by Ethereum L1 and cannot be stolen or frozen by L2 operators.
