Data from the CME Group’s FedWatch Tool shows that the probability of the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) keeping interest rates unchanged at the July 2025 meeting is currently very high, at 95.3%. Meanwhile, the likelihood of the Fed implementing a 25 basis point (0.25%) rate cut this month is only 4.7%.
For the next meeting in September 2025, the market predicts that the probability of the Fed continuing to keep the current interest rate unchanged has decreased significantly, to only 35.3%. In contrast, the likelihood of the Fed carrying out a total rate cut of 25 basis points is up to 61.8%, indicating an increasing expectation for looser monetary policy. Additionally, the probability of a more significant Fed rate cut totaling 50 basis points in September is recorded at 2.9%.

Mr. Max Crown - CEO of Ton Foundation - recently officially responded to the incident regarding the cooperation program between Ton and UAE to provide Golden Visa for investors. He said the Golden Visa program in the UAE actually stems from an independent cooperation effort between Ton and a licensed partner, focusing on blockchain and encrypted property. However, he emphasized that this is only an initial testing and exploration activity, absolutely no official agreement with the UAE Government.
This statement is to clarify the misunderstandings that are spreading in the community after some sources promote that users can apply for a Visa settlement in the UAE (Golden Visa) through the commitment to investing in tokens associated with Ton ecosystem.
Shortly thereafter, CZ - Founder Binance - commented on the incident on Twitter, saying:
"This marketing campaign is too misleading. Details need to be clearly made.
Cz's sharing shows the common concern of many experts in the field of Blockchain, that the use of untruthful information or promotions in order to stimulate investment demand can lead to a large -scale loss of confidence, leading to legal risks and deteriorating the image of the whole web3 industry.
Currently, Ton Foundation has not made any official statement about whether the Golden Visa program will continue to be implemented with the UAE Government. However, the incident is creating a strong wave of debate in the Crypto community for transparency and responsibility in communicating programs related to settlement and investment in digital assets.

The US government has just proposed a new proposal to the European Union (EU) to maintain a basic tax rate of 10% for all goods from the EU, with an exception for some sensitive industries such as aviation and strong alcohol. This information was revealed by an EU diplomat and a national official in an exchange with Politico.
Earlier, President Donald Trump's administration announced that he would extend the time limit for re -application of a comprehensive tax rate until August 1. After this time, the tax rate will return to the application level on April 2 for countries that have not reached a new trade agreement with the US.
From August 1, South Korea and Japan will face 25% tax - these are the first countries to receive a letter of new tax notice from the US.
EU Trade Commissioner, Maroš šefčovič, is currently actively exchanging with the Washington administration, especially after the telephone on Sunday between President Trump and the European Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen. The two EU diplomats said Mr. šefčovič informed the EU ambassadors and said that the European Commission did not expect to receive one of the aforementioned tax letters from the US.
However, the trade negotiation process is still not stable and is largely dependent on Mr. Trump's final decision. Washington has not yet made any commitment of tax exemption for sensitive industries such as cars, steel, aluminum or pharmaceuticals - something the EU has proposed many times. However, countries like France, Italy and Ireland are expected to be satisfied if there is exemption for aviation and alcoholic beverages.
The White House spokesman, Karoline Leavitt, confirmed on the second day that a executive decree will be issued to officially turn the extension of the taxppon.
Before the decree was published, the EU was still operating under the old time on July 8 and steadfastly the goal of reaching an agreement with the US before Wednesday.
Irish Trade Minister Simon Harris, on Monday night, also confirmed that "we can expect the extension of the tariff status until August 1, in order to create more time for the EU and the US to reach an agreement in principle."
However, the EU is currently facing an awkward situation: accepting disproportionate in trade relations with Washington or continuing to face unexpected changes from the Trump administration. During the second night meeting - described by diplomats as gloomy - Brussels expressed concerns because they have not received any guarantee from the US about not having extra sudden changes related to tax policy.
The European Commission refused to comment, only said that "negotiations are still happening."

On July 8, the world's leading financial group Goldman Sachs commented that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) may start cutting interest rates in September - earlier than the market's previous expectations.
The main reason pointed out by Goldman Sachs is the weakening impact of tariff policies as well as the recent downward trend of inflation in the US. This development creates conditions for the Fed to loosen monetary policy earlier to support economic growth without putting great pressure on consumer prices.
According to the updated forecast from Goldman Sachs, the terminal interest rate that the Fed is aiming for is likely to fluctuate in the range of 3.00% - 3.25%. Previously, this organization estimated that this interest rate range would be higher, from 3.50% - 3.75%.

The Trump administration has just announced plans to impose new import tariffs, ranging from 25% to 40%, on goods from 14 different countries. This policy will take effect from August 1, 2025 and mark a new strong step in the US's protectionist trade strategy.
In an official notice sent to relevant countries, Mr. Trump stated that the reason for the high tariffs is to deal with the persistent trade deficit and policies that the US believes are disadvantageous to its exports.
According to the plan, Japan and South Korea are the first two countries to receive the notice, with a 25% tax rate applied to products exported to the US market. Other countries also subject to the tax include Tunisia, Malaysia and Kazakhstan (25%); South Africa, Bosnia and Herzegovina (30%); Serbia and Bangladesh (35%); Cambodia and Thailand (36%); and Laos and Myanmar (40%).
Notably, these tariffs will not be cumulative with previous tariffs already applied to certain sectors such as automobiles, steel or aluminum. This means that import tariffs on automobiles from Japan will remain at 25%, instead of increasing under the new tariff schedule.
In addition to imposing tariffs, President Trump also sent a message to trading partners, encouraging them to move their production chains to the US to avoid tariff barriers and take advantage of the domestic market. At the same time, he also warned that if these countries retaliate by increasing tariffs on US goods, Washington may continue to raise tariffs even higher in the future.

According to on-chain data recorded by analytics platform Arkham, a crypto wallet labeled as belonging to the US government made a notable transaction less than 10 minutes ago. Specifically, this wallet transferred a total of 86,564 $ETH (Ethereum) to the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase. At the time of the transaction, this ETH was estimated to be worth around $219,450.
Moving funds from a US government wallet to a centralized exchange like Coinbase often attracts special attention from the crypto community, as it can suggest the possibility of asset liquidation or law enforcement-related activities. Similar transactions have occurred in the past after the US government seized cryptocurrencies from criminal cases or illegal exchanges.

On July 8, US President Donald Trump announced that he would impose a 25% tariff on all imported goods from Japan and South Korea. This is a move that is believed to increase trade pressure on the two East Asian countries, while encouraging businesses to shift production to the US.
According to information from the White House, official letters have been sent to South Korean President Lee Jae-myung and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, clearly stating that the 25% tariff will be applied to all goods originating from the two countries, starting from August 1, 2025. This tariff measure will be completely separate from the previous industry taxes, meaning that all imported goods regardless of type will be subject to higher tariffs.
However, the White House also made it clear that Japanese and Korean companies could be exempted from tariffs if their production activities were carried out directly in the United States. This shows that the Trump administration is continuing to maintain a protectionist trade policy while seeking to attract foreign investment to the United States through tariff incentives.
This new move is likely to have a strong impact on the economic relations between the United States and Japan and South Korea, as well as significantly affect the global supply chain. Experts warn that without a reasonable negotiated solution, the trade conflict between the three countries could escalate, destabilizing the international market.

According to CoinDesk, Jon Atack – one of the core developers of Bitcoin Core – was temporarily detained by El Salvadoran police in connection with a property dispute with his neighbor. However, he was quickly released and received his phone and passport back.
The incident stemmed from a neighbor’s accusation that Jon Atack had committed violence against a woman. Given that El Salvador’s laws are strict on such acts, especially after the 2012 Women’s Protection Law came into effect, the accusation was immediately handled as a criminal offense.
While there is no concrete evidence of the authenticity of the accusation, the case has attracted a lot of attention from the international cryptocurrency community due to Jon Atack’s important role in the development of Bitcoin Core – the open-source software that runs the Bitcoin network.
