Odaily Planet Daily reported that the Federal Reserve has kept policy rates unchanged and hinted that high rates may still be maintained after next month's meeting. Analysts predict that a wait-and-see attitude will lead to market consolidation lasting for several months, and this trend is favorable for Bitcoin. BRN Chief Analyst Valentin Fournier added that inflation has cooled down and tariff concerns have eased, but the slowdown in US economic growth has raised concerns about stagflation. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell expressed confidence in the "deflationary trend" at a press conference after the meeting, with a slightly dovish tone. However, he pointed out that steady job growth and strong consumer spending provide space for policymakers to maintain high interest rates. Due to the lack of urgency to cut interest rates, the Federal Reserve reiterated its wait-and-see attitude and postponed the expectation of the first rate cut until September. （The Block）

According to Cointelegraph, Russian Finance Ministry official Ivan Chebeskov revealed that despite the introduction of cryptocurrency mining regulations by the end of 2024, 70% of mining companies are still unregistered with the Federal Tax Service. The two mining laws implemented by the Russian government in October and November last year require companies to complete registration and clarify legal definitions, but compliance progress has been slow. Chebyskov stated that he will promote the legalization of the remaining mining companies, but did not disclose specific measures. Industry analysts pointed out that there are restrictive clauses in the current regulations, such as prohibiting foreign entities from mining in Russia and implementing restrictions in some regions, and the industry has not been truly legalized. Its main function is only to improve tax collection and management.
