- 09/20 17:33Anchorage Digital has applied for a Federal Reserve master account.Foresight News reported that crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett stated in a post that, according to the latest disclosures from the Federal Reserve database, Anchorage Digital has applied for a Federal Reserve Master Account. Previously, in June this year, she had asked Nathan McCauley, co-founder and CEO of the US crypto bank Anchorage Digital, whether they had applied for a Federal Reserve Master Account, but he declined to comment at that time. The Master Account is the operational foundation that allows banks to settle transactions directly with the central bank and hold balances at the Federal Reserve. Without such access, banks must use third-party intermediaries to process payments. If Anchorage Digital obtains a Master Account, it could become the first crypto bank able to hold assets other than digital currencies in the same way as traditional financial institutions.

- 09/20 04:46Société Générale: After the Fed decision, market focus returns to inflation dataJinse Finance reported that Société Générale stated the Federal Reserve's decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points was in line with general expectations and was not disappointing. Although our unconventional forecast of a 50 basis point rate cut did not materialize, as we mentioned last week, if the September meeting decides on a 25 basis point cut, it is very likely that there will be additional 25 basis point cuts in both October and December, which is indeed confirmed by the median in the dot plot. We also note that the Federal Reserve expects the interest rate level to reach 3.38% by the end of 2026, which is consistent with our forecast but nearly 50 basis points higher than current market pricing. Next week, the market's focus will shift entirely to personal income and expenditure data and the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation indicator—the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE).
