3. House Democrats Boycott Crypto Regulation Hearing

Due to tensions arising from President Trump's digital asset disputes, House Democrats boycotted a hearing scheduled for Tuesday titled "The Future of American Innovation and Digital Assets: A Blueprint for the 21st Century," which aimed to discuss how to regulate the cryptocurrency industry. The committee's chief Democrat, Maxine Waters, protested at the start of the hearing, stating that President Trump and his family's deep involvement in the cryptocurrency industry has created "irreconcilable conflicts of interest." She specifically mentioned the meme coins issued by the Trump couple and their supported World Liberty Financial stablecoin project, arguing that this severely impacts the fairness of regulatory legislation. The hearing, hosted by Wisconsin Republican Congressman Bryan Steil, will now be replaced by a roundtable discussion. The controversy surrounding the stablecoin bill GENIUS continues to simmer, which requires stablecoins to be 100% backed by liquid assets like the US dollar and mandates annual audits for projects with a market cap exceeding $50 billion. Although Senate Majority Leader John Thune has stated that a vote will be pushed before May 26, Democratic lawmakers have recently pointed out flaws in the bill, such as insufficient regulation of foreign issuers. Meanwhile, House Republicans unveiled a draft framework for cryptocurrency market regulation on Monday, based on revisions to the FIT 21 bill, aiming to clarify the regulatory boundaries between the CFTC and SEC. -Original

4. Federal Reserve May Delay Rate Cuts to Address Inflation

On the eve of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision announcement this Thursday, renowned financial journalist Nick Timiraos, known as the "New Fed Communicator," published a report analyzing the dilemma the Federal Reserve faces in responding to the Trump administration's "hasty" tariff policies, suggesting that the Fed may delay rate cuts. The article indicates that the Fed will closely monitor changes in the labor market, using employment data as a key reference for its decisions: "The Fed will not cut rates prematurely due to anticipated economic slowdown; they need to see actual data, especially in the labor market." Tariffs may force the Fed "down a different path," as they could temporarily drive up prices and their uncertainty may slow economic activity, leading to signs of stagflation, which could cause the Fed to delay rate cuts. If inflation expectations spiral out of control, controlling inflation will become more difficult. The article further points out that the "constraints" mentioned by former Fed Governor Brainard have worsened compared to five years ago, as the economy has recently experienced a period of very high inflation. Even if the Fed internally considers rate cuts, it still needs to maintain vigilance against inflation in public to stabilize market expectations. -Original

The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) today released a consultation paper aimed at gathering public opinions on the regulatory framework draft for tokenized capital market products, with the public consultation period running from May 6, 2025, to June 16. The SC noted that tokenized capital market products digitize traditional financial products such as stocks, bonds, and funds through distributed ledger technology (DLT) and should be distinguished from digital tokens and digital currencies, which are regulated under different frameworks. The SC stated that the development of the regulatory framework is in response to the growing market interest in tokenized products, focusing on the application of DLT in capital markets, including programmable assets, fractional ownership, and enhanced transparency, while ensuring investor protection. The draft also addresses key areas such as public disclosure requirements, governance controls, and technology risk management, proposing additional requirements for relevant licensees.
