🏦 BlackRock: Stablecoins Backbone of Future Finance

BlackRock declared stablecoins as one of the five mega-forces shaping the future of finance. It sees crypto-native tokens as legitimate payment instruments rather than investment vehicles, especially now that the U.S. has passed the GENIUS Act.

According to BlackRock:

  • Stablecoins are set to reinforce dollar dominance globally

  • Regulation safeguards issuance via banks and non-banks

  • These tokens are now backed by Treasury bills

This matters for crypto because Bitcoin and Ethereum now enjoy an institutional tailwind from the adoption of stablecoins.

📉 Fed Holds Rates, Markets Eye September

The Federal Reserve chose to keep interest rates at 4.25–4.50%, resisting pressure from President Trump and two dissenting Fed governors who wanted cuts now.

Key points:

  • Inflation currently sits at 2.7% and job growth remains strong

  • The Fed signaled no commitment to cut but didn’t rule out a move in September

  • Bitcoin briefly dipped, eventually reclaiming $118K by Wednesday night.

Takeaway: If the Fed cuts rates in September, Q4 2025 should be great for markets.
