The US Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points, ending its pause cycle, while the SEC and CFTC introduced new regulatory measures to support crypto innovation, including a five-year innovation exemption for tokenized stock trading and a new pre-rule on crypto asset transactions. Bitcoin and Ethereum prices rallied despite the rate hike, influenced by these regulatory developments.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You need to reposition your crypto offerings for regulated US markets as SEC and CFTC clear paths for tokenized stock trading and define non-enforcement zones for software providers. Your ability to engage with onchain liquidity pools and access these innovation exemptions can open new market doors this week.
