Fed Holds Rates Steady as Expected,but Overall Hawkish with Major Policy Statement Overhaul
The Federal Reserve held its benchmark interest rate steady in the 3.50%-3.75% range for the fourth consecutive meeting, in line with market expectations.
“Fed Whisperer” Nick Timiraos commented on the Fed’s rate decision: The dot plot from this meeting showed a clear hawkish tilt. Among the 18 officials, 9 expect at least one rate hike this year, with 6 of them even anticipating multiple hikes. In contrast, only one official expects a rate cut this year. Furthermore, one participant (presumed to be Fed Chair James Bullard) did not submit a Summary of Economic Projections (SEP).
Concurrently, the Fed’s policy statement underwent a comprehensive revision from beginning to end, with the text length significantly shortened. Overall, the communication framework for this meeting has notably shifted, and market expectations for the interest rate path may be readjusted as a result.

a16z crypto: Crypto Industry Enters ‘Show Me’ Era, Shifting from Narrative-Driven to Data-Verified
a16z 加密 published an article stating that the crypto industry is entering what is called the ‘Show Me’ era. 市场s and media are no longer accepting projects that rely solely on vision and whitepapers, demanding real data and verifiable product delivery. Over the past decade, crypto projects often relied on a ‘vision-is-product’ logic, gaining market attention through whitepapers, token narratives, and proof-of-concepts. However, with increasing regulation, negative industry events, and institutional entry, this model is fading. Concurrently, the accelerated entry of traditional financial institutions into the crypto space is significantly raising industry standards. This includes BlackRock’s tokenized money market funds, Fidelity’s ETF strategy, and JPMorgan Chase’s advancements in on-chain settlement and building its own blockchain network, making ‘real products and actual usage’ the new standard for competition.
Michael Burry, famous for successfully shorting the US subprime mortgage market, stated that he currently holds neither a long nor a short position in SpaceX. The primary reason isn’t fundamental analysis of the company, but rather the prohibitively high cost of shorting. Burry wrote that SpaceX is essentially “a small aerospace company, a niche telecom operator, a troubled social media company, and a CoreWeave-light computing services provider,” with annual revenue under $20 billion yet a market valuation of approximately $3 trillion. These remarks came as SpaceX’s stock price continued to rise after its public listing. The company surged 20% on its first trading day, accumulating gains exceeding 25% over the following week. Its market capitalization has not only surpassed Berkshire Hathaway but has also entered the global top five, trailing only Nvidia, Google, Apple, and Microsoft.
