As of today, the national debt of the USA is over $36 trillion. This includes both intra-governmental debt and public debt, which is the debt owed to private individuals, corporations, the Federal Reserve, and foreign governments. In 2024, it constituted 98% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the USA, which is significantly higher than 32% in 2001. The increase in debt is associated, in particular, with the budget deficit, which has recently been covered by borrowing. The largest foreign creditors of the USA are Japan and China. The constantly increasing debt is a major problem, so President Trump has tasked the creation of a commission that should explore ways to reduce the budget deficit and optimize it.

#PowellRemarks Federal Reserve Chair Powell
warned of volatile
inflation in the future.
The current situation in the US
economy indicates that the
Federal Reserve may have to face
sudden shocks in the supply
side in the coming years,
the Fed Chair stated at the conference.
According to him, long-term
interest rates are now substantially
higher than in the ten-year
period following the global financial
crisis of 2007-2008.
"Higher real rates
may also reflect the possibility
that inflation in the future may
prove to be more volatile than
in the 2010s," he said.
The Federal Reserve's key interest rate
is currently in the range of 4.25% to 4.5%

The speech of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell became a central event for global financial markets. What Powell said: We will not lower rates — not yet. Rate cuts are approaching, but not now. The Fed is waiting for more data. No panic, but also no breakthrough. Inflation is slowly decreasing — around 2.5%, but it is not yet a 'victory'. The labor market is strong, the economy is holding up, so there is no reason to rush into cuts. In the Fed's forecasts, rate cuts are possible in 2025, but only 'if all goes well'. To which Trump noted that this is a mistake and called for cutting the rate immediately by 2% because the economy needs to be 'saved'.

#CryptoStocks When we talk about "crypto stocks", we are referring to the shares of companies related to cryptocurrencies and blockchain. These can be companies that develop cryptocurrency wallets, exchanges, mining equipment, or companies that use blockchain technology in their business processes. "Crypto stocks" are companies that provide a platform for trading cryptocurrencies (for example, Coinbase (although it is an American company, its shares are traded on NASDAQ)).
Companies developing mining equipment: companies that produce equipment for cryptocurrency mining (for example, Nvidia, which manufactures graphics cards that are widely used for mining).
Companies that use blockchain in their activities: companies that implement blockchain technology to enhance the efficiency or transparency of their business processes. It should be noted:
There is no single term "crypto stocks" in financial terminology. It is rather a slang term for the shares of companies in the crypto industry.

#GENIUSActPass The American Senate has approved the GENIUS bill.
The vote passed with a result of 68-30.
Now it must be supported by the House of Representatives. "GENIUS lays
the seed regulatory
foundation for payment
stablecoins. It will secure
the dominance of the US dollar,
protect customers, and
stimulate demand for
Treasury Bonds," said
Republican Senator Bill
Hogerty, the main author
of the bill.
The US Senate has approved the stablecoin bill "Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins" (GENIUS). Bipartisan support passed with a result of 68 votes 'for' and 30 'against' requiring that all stablecoins be fully backed by liquid dollar assets;
The new law mandates large issuers (capitalization over $50 billion) to undergo annual audits;
prohibits giants like Meta and Amazon from issuing their own stablecoins without adhering to strict criteria regarding risks and privacy;
ensures that stablecoin holders have "superpriority" in the event of the issuer's bankruptcy.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent supported the initiative:
"It is expected that by the end of the decade, the stablecoin market will grow to $3.7 trillion.

#FOMCMeeting Should we have high hopes for the FOMC decisions? Expectations from the decisions of the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) in 2025 mainly revolve around possible interest rate cuts, although the timing and magnitude of these cuts are still being discussed. Most economists suggest that the Fed will begin easing monetary policy, but the timing and number of rate cuts depend on the economic situation, particularly on inflation dynamics and unemployment levels. Factors influencing the decisions
of the Fed:
Inflation, unemployment rate, as
well as the forecasts and assessments
of the Fed will be key factors
in determining decisions. Current rate:
The current key interest rate of the Fed
is 4.5% (TradingView).
In conclusion, it can be said that
expectations come down to
a cautious and gradual
easing of the Fed's monetary
policy, if the economic situation
allows for it.

#VietnamCryptoPolicy Vietnam has adopted a law on digital currencies that will take effect in 2026. The new regulation in Vietnam recognized digital assets as legal. It is expected to pave the way for technological leadership. AI sector companies and chip developers will receive tax incentives. The National Assembly of Vietnam has passed the law 'On the Digital Technology Industry', which officially allowed digital assets in the country. This was reported by local media. The new legislation will come into effect on January 1, 2026, and will be a key step towards a technological breakthrough and exiting the 'grey list' of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). According to the new law, digital assets are defined as assets that use encryption or similar digital technologies for verification during creation, issuance, storage, or transfer. They are divided into two categories: virtual assets and crypto assets. According to this, virtual assets are a form of digital assets used for exchange or investment, excluding securities, digital representations of fiat currencies, or other financial instruments.

#TrumpBTCTreasury Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), the parent company of Truth Social, partially owned by U.S. President Donald Trump, has received permission from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a major acquisition of bitcoin.
According to a statement filed on June 13, the SEC recognized TMTG's registration statement on Form S-3 as effective, allowing the company to proceed with the acquisition of bitcoin for $2.3 billion, reports Cointelegraph.
The registration includes the resale of nearly 56 million shares and another 29 million related to convertible bonds issued to approximately 50 investors. I believe Trump Media aims to become an indispensable company for expanding the customer base of the economy. The company views bitcoin not only as an investment but also as "the pinnacle of financial freedom."

#CardanoDebate ADA is the foundation for the development of decentralized applications (dApps) and other services in the Cardano ecosystem. Additionally, ADA holders can "stake" their tokens, meaning they can delegate them to a pool to participate in securing the network and receive rewards for it. ADA grants the right to vote in the governance of the Cardano network, which is great as it allows holders to participate in decision-making about its development. In this regard, it can be said that this is a very promising project.

$BTC Cryptocurrency Market Crash: Bitcoin Dropped to $103,000, Ethereum to $2,450
After Israel launched a series of strikes on Iran, Bitcoin fell to $103,000, but then regained its position. At the time of writing the news, the price of the first cryptocurrency is around $105,000. However, just yesterday the asset was trading at $108,400. Over the course of a day, Bitcoin lost 2.5%. This event once again clearly shows how the market instantly reacts to events in the world.

#IsraelIranConflict As the IDF writes, for many years Iran has been conducting a direct and indirect campaign of terror against Israel, developing nuclear weapons, creating modern missiles and long-range warheads, as well as financing and directing 'terrorist puppets' throughout the Middle East. In my opinion, a shaky peace is better than war, but if you see that a fight is inevitable, it is better to strike first. Of course, this event will shake all financial markets and prompt us to take more decisive actions in our dealings.

of the deposit, while the quotes
of liquid cryptocurrencies during this time

conform to the laws of logic. Unfortunately or fortunately, most
traders make typical
mistakes and are unable, due to the change
in the downward phase, as the distribution
transitions to a prolonged
decline.

psychological error occurs and
