BlockBeats News, October 30th: The recent interest rate views of the Federal Reserve's voting members this year have shown "three-way differentiation," as follows:

Advocating for a Significant Rate Cut

1. Federal Reserve Governor Milan: Supports a 50-basis-point rate cut in October. It sounds realistic to cut rates twice more this year. The difference in policy views with colleagues is more based on the speed of rate cuts rather than the ultimate goal of rate cuts.

Dovish

1. Federal Reserve Chair Powell: Money market liquidity is gradually tightening, and the balance sheet reduction may be nearing its end in the coming months; recent economic activity data has been stronger than expected, with increased downside risks to the labor market. Acting too slowly could suppress employment, while acting too fast could jeopardize the anti-inflation task.

2. Federal Reserve Governor Wall: Supports a 25-basis-point rate cut in October. Officials can gradually ease monetary policy by cutting rates by 25 basis points each time to support the weak labor market. Rate cuts are needed, but cautiously so.

3. Federal Reserve Governor Bowman: Continues to expect two more rate cuts by the end of the year. As long as the labor market and other economic data develop in the direction I expect, we will continue along the path of lowering the federal funds rate.

4. Federal Reserve's Collins: Given the reduced inflation risk and concerns about the labor market, further rate cuts seem "cautious," and a 25-basis-point rate cut may be appropriate.

5. Federal Reserve's Williams: Supports further rate cuts this year, even though the inflation rate has deviated from the central bank's 2% target in recent months. Rate cuts are intended to prevent further fissures in the labor market.

Hawkish

1. Federal Reserve Vice Chair Jefferson: Risks to the inflation and employment targets require caution.

2. Federal Reserve Governor Barr: The Fed should exercise caution in further rate cuts; the current rates are mildly restrictive, and tariff actions pose risks to inflation, while a fundamentally balanced labor market has underlying vulnerabilities.

3. Federal Reserve's Mester: Is skeptical about further rate cuts. Concerns about risks in the labor market have increased. Supports a 25-basis-point rate cut in September, but due to the inflation rate being nearly one percentage point above the Fed's 2% target, further rate cuts could imply overconfidence in price increases.

4. Federal Reserve's Schmidt: Leans toward not further cutting rates. When the Fed seeks a balance between the dual risks of policy being too tight or too loose, it should continue to focus on the risk of high inflation.

5. Federal Reserve's Gursky: Holds a cautious stance on significantly cutting rates preemptively, not expecting inflation to recede on its own. Seeing both aspects of the Fed's dual mandate deteriorating. (Jin10)

Japan to Assess a Framework for Yen Stablecoins and Crypto ETFs as Asia’s Compliant Payments Narrative Heats Up

Recently, according to the original report, Japan is considering the launch of yen stablecoins and cryptocurrency ETFs. Public information remains limited at this stage, and there is still no complete policy text, regulatory draft, or clear implementation timeline, so this is better characterized as a “policy discussion” rather than formal implementation. The original wording also noted that advancing stablecoin regulation in Asia is driving XRP usage and supporting growth in the XRPL ecosystem. However, based on currently available public information, there is not enough evidence to directly establish a clear causal relationship between this round of discussion in Japan and XRP or XRPL.

ZachXBT: Humanity private key leak and abnormal surge in H token should be viewed separately

On June 9, according to related disclosures, on-chain investigator ZachXBT posted an update on Humanity’s roughly $31 million security incident, saying that after further analyzing fund flows, he currently tends to believe the project team was not involved in an “inside job” or a self-staged attack. According to him, the official explanation about the private key leak was broadly accurate, but before the token unlock, the price of H had been artificially pushed higher, and the hacker later took advantage of that market environment; therefore, the private key leak and the earlier abnormal price pumping should be regarded as two separate and independent events. This reframing has shifted the market’s understanding of the nature of the incident. Earlier discussion around Humanity had focused on whether the team directly participated in the attack or used the security incident to cover up internal operations. ZachXBT’s latest remarks shift the focus from “whether it was self-theft” to “whether there were pre-unlock market structure issues.” He also questioned whether the team may have.
