Next Week's Macroeconomic Outlook: Federal Reserve Decision + Non-Farm Payroll 'Super Week' Approaches

This week, under the favorable catalysts of the US-Japan trade agreement and the "American AI Plan," the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices have continuously hit historical highs. Regarding interest rate expectations, the White House continues to pressure Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, with Trump directly urging Powell to cut interest rates, marking the first visit by a US president to the Federal Reserve headquarters in nearly 20 years; Treasury Secretary Mnuchin is also planning to confirm the new Federal Reserve chairman candidate by the end of the year. Looking ahead to next week, the US stock market will welcome a significant macroeconomic and earnings report week, with the Federal Reserve set to announce its interest rate decision next Thursday; on the tariff front, the deadline for Trump's tariffs is approaching on August 1, and the US and China will begin a new round of economic and trade consultations for four days starting this Sunday.

U.S. media: DOGE plans to use AI to eliminate 50% of regulatory requirements before Trump's inauguration anniversary.

According to The Washington Post and four government officials, the U.S. government's efficiency department (DOGE) is using a new artificial intelligence tool aimed at significantly reducing federal regulations, with the goal of eliminating half of the regulatory requirements before the one-year anniversary of Trump's inauguration. The tool, named "DOGE AI Deregulation Decision Tool," is planned to analyze approximately 200,000 federal regulations to determine which regulations can be eliminated. A presentation on July 1 indicated that the tool is expected to cut about 100,000 regulatory entries. The report also noted that the tool would save the U.S. trillions of dollars by reducing compliance requirements, cutting the federal budget, and freeing up "external investment." According to the report, the tool has successfully removed over 1,000 "regulatory clauses" from the Department of Housing and Urban Development in less than two weeks and has completed "100% of deregulation work" at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Economic Daily: Multiple regions have issued risk warnings to prevent scams disguised as "stablecoin".

According to an article published by the Economic Daily, since July, financial management departments and industry self-regulatory organizations in multiple regions have consecutively issued risk warning announcements. With the rising popularity of stablecoins, illegal activities by some criminals using stablecoins as a gimmick have begun to emerge, and their potential risks warrant high vigilance. Financial management departments and industry self-regulatory organizations in various regions remind consumers to verify the legal qualifications of relevant institutions and products through official channels of national financial management departments before making investment decisions. They should choose licensed and legitimate financial institutions; fully understand the high complexity and volatility of digital currencies such as "stablecoins" and related innovative concepts, and establish correct monetary concepts and rational investment ideas; consciously resist and stay away from any form of virtual currency speculation, illegal token issuance, and unapproved "digital asset" investment projects to effectively protect personal property safety.

CryptoQuant CEO: The recent transfer of 80,000 BTC after 14 years of silence may come from the MyBitcoin hacker or its founder's wallet.

Ki Young Ju, the founder and CEO of the on-chain analysis platform CryptoQuant, posted on platform X that 80,000 BTC recently transferred after 14 years of dormancy may have originally come from MyBitcoin's custody wallets. These wallets have been idle since April 2011, until MyBitcoin was hacked that same year (it is reported that MyBitcoin experienced a Bitcoin theft incident in August 2011 and subsequently declared bankruptcy). These wallets likely belong to the hacker who attacked the platform or may belong to Tom Williams, the anonymous founder of MyBitcoin. It appears that Galaxy Digital has purchased these Bitcoins, but it is uncertain whether they have conducted any forensic work.

Survey: 14% of American adults own cryptocurrency, and 64% of investors believe the risks are extremely high.

According to a report by CoinDesk, a Gallup poll found that only 14% of American adults own cryptocurrency, 60% of respondents expressed no interest in buying, and only 4% of respondents plan to purchase in the near future.

Moreover, among American investors holding more than $10,000 in stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, 55% believe that this asset class is "very high risk." Even those who claim to understand cryptocurrencies still view it as a speculative investment. Among American investors, 64% consider this asset class to be "extremely high risk," up from 60% in 2021. Additionally, about one in seven Americans owns cryptocurrency, while nearly 60% of Americans own stocks or real estate. Only 4% of adults believe that cryptocurrency is the best long-term investment.

Surveys show that while a quarter of men aged 18 to 49 hold cryptocurrencies, the holding rate among women and the elderly has dropped sharply. The participation rate among college graduates and high-income groups is above average, but the elderly and low-income families remain largely absent in this field. A knowledge gap still exists. Almost all respondents have heard of cryptocurrencies, but only 35% say they truly understand how it works. Young men and affluent groups have the highest familiarity.
