In May 2025, major U.S. policy developments are reshaping both monetary policy and the crypto landscape. The Federal Reserve, during its May 6–7 FOMC meeting, is expected to maintain interest rates at 4.25%–4.50%, amid inflation concerns and economic slowdown. Simultaneously, U.S. House lawmakers unveiled a draft bill to regulate digital assets, defining clear roles for the SEC and CFTC. This draft notably excludes certain Bitcoin transactions from securities laws, potentially easing regulatory pressure. Together, these moves highlight Washington’s dual focus: stabilizing the economy while creating a clear framework for digital innovation, positioning Bitcoin within a regulated, yet growth-oriented environment.
