2. Apple Eases Crypto Policy to Enhance DApp Ecosystem

Apple has modified its App Store policy to allow developers of crypto-related applications to direct users to external websites for transactions and payments within their apps. This move is seen as a significant turning point for the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency ecosystem. The change follows Apple's loss in the Epic Games case, where the court ordered it to lift its ban on "external link payments." Under the updated policy, developers can prompt users to navigate to external platforms to purchase NFTs or make crypto payments, no longer being forced to use Apple's internal payment system. Previously, such actions would incur a commission of up to 30% from Apple, which had led to restrictions or even removal of several crypto wallets and NFT applications. Analysts believe that Apple's concession could significantly enhance the availability of decentralized applications (DApps) in the iOS ecosystem, expand their user base, and drive overall market adoption. As crypto-native applications gain more freedom, the competition between U.S. regulators and tech giants over Web3 infrastructure will continue to intensify. -Original

3. Federal Reserve's Interest Rate Decision Next Week Draws Attention

In the past week, concerns over trade tensions have eased further. Despite a mixed bag of economic data, the unexpectedly strong non-farm payroll report has also alleviated worries about economic slowdown. In the coming week, market attention will shift to central bank interest rate decisions, including those from the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England. In terms of economic data, service sector PMIs from multiple countries will be released. Here are the key points the market will focus on in the new week:

• Monday 21:45, U.S. April S&P Global Services PMI final value;
• Tuesday 9:45, China April Caixin Services PMI;
• Wednesday 1:00, U.S. 10-year Treasury bond auction as of May 6;
• Thursday 2:00, Federal Reserve FOMC interest rate decision announcement;
• Thursday 2:30, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell holds a monetary policy press conference;
• Thursday 20:30, U.S. initial jobless claims for the week ending May 3;
• Thursday 23:00, U.S. April New York Fed 1-year inflation expectations;
• Friday 18:15, FOMC permanent voting member and New York Fed President Williams delivers a keynote speech at the 2025 Reykjavik Economic Conference;
• Friday 20:00, Federal Reserve Governor Cook speaks;
• Friday 22:00, 2025 FOMC voting member and Chicago Fed President Goolsbee delivers a welcome and opening speech at a Federal Reserve event;
• Friday 22:40, Federal Reserve Governor Barr speaks;
• Friday 23:30, FOMC permanent voting member and New York Fed President Williams speaks at the Hoover Monetary Policy Conference (via pre-recorded video).

U.S. hard data and soft data continue to paint different economic pictures, with market sentiment and survey-based soft data weakening, while hard data like non-farm employment figures may take until June or July to reflect the impact of tariffs. This means that, similar to the end of 2022, weak data has not translated into an economic recession. If tariffs are lowered after Trump, a similar scenario may play out in 2025. Looking ahead to June, "Federal Reserve mouthpiece" Nick Timiraos stated after the non-farm data release: "Currently, this (referring to non-farm data) means the Federal Reserve does not need to comment on June policy at next week's meeting." He also added, "The April employment report has reduced the likelihood of a rate cut in June, as only one employment report has been released prior to that." Both Goldman Sachs and Barclays have pushed back their expectations for the next rate cut from June to July. -Original
