🇺🇸 THIS WEEK’S ECONOMIC EVENTS (October 13–17)

🔹 Monday (Columbus Day): The U.S. stock market remains open, but the bond market will be closed.

🔹 The U.S. government is still shut down, so key reports such as Wholesale Inflation (PPI), Construction Data, and Retail Sales are likely to be delayed or unavailable this week.

🔹 Even if the government reopens, data releases may still be delayed due to backlogs.

🔹 Several Federal Reserve officials are scheduled to speak throughout the week.

The Central Bank of Russia is considering tokenizing (converting shares into digital assets on the blockchain) so that foreign investors can purchase shares of Russian companies. The goal is to expand access to the domestic stock market without being affected by international sanctions.

Many experts support this idea, saying that tokenization could help Russia attract capital from friendly nations such as BRICS, the UAE, Kazakhstan, and Armenia, while also allowing small investors to buy fractional shares more easily.

POWELL HINTS FED MAY SOON END QUANTITATIVE TIGHTENING, BUT OFFERS NO RATE GUIDANCE

🔹 This suggests the Federal Reserve could soon halt the reduction of its bond portfolio, which has shrunk from nearly $9 trillion during the pandemic to around $6 trillion today.

🔹 Chair Jerome Powell did not specify a timeline but noted that bank reserves are approaching the ample level the Fed aims to maintain to ensure stable financial system liquidity.

🔹 Powell emphasized that the Fed will not return to the pre-COVID balance sheet size (around $4 trillion), signaling that system liquidity will remain higher than pre-pandemic levels.

🔹 He also acknowledged that economic data has been disrupted due to the temporary U.S. government shutdown, making it harder to assess the situation, although early figures indicate economic activity is stronger than expected.

🔹 The market still expects two rate cuts this year, but Powell did not confirm, stressing that “there is no path without risk” as the Fed balances growth and inflation.

REPUBLICANS PROPOSE TO CODIFY TRUMP’S CRYPTO 401(K) EXECUTIVE ORDER

🔹 Representative Troy Downing has introduced the Retirement Investment Choice Act, aiming to turn President Trump’s August executive order—allowing crypto investments in 401(k) retirement plans—into federal law.

🔹 The bill would enable Americans to invest in alternative assets such as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies within their 401(k) accounts, provided that fund providers deem them suitable for long-term portfolio growth.

🔹 Analysts estimate that if the $25 trillion U.S. retirement industry opens up to crypto, billions of dollars in new capital could flow into the digital asset market.

🔹 SEC Chairman Paul Atkins admitted that the U.S. is a decade behind in establishing a clear regulatory framework for crypto, calling it the agency’s “number one mission.”

🔹 Speaking at the DC Fintech Week event hosted at Amazon HQ, Atkins said the SEC will shift from an enforcement-first approach to a collaborative and innovation-driven regulatory model.

🔹 The SEC plans to introduce an “Innovation Exemption” before the end of the year, allowing crypto companies to test new products without being constrained by heavy regulations.

Japan’s three largest banking groups — MUFG, SMFG, and Mizuho — are planning to issue a joint stablecoin.

🔸 The three banks will build a shared system for issuing and transferring stablecoins for corporate clients, initially pegged to the Japanese yen, with plans to expand to a USD-pegged version.
🔸 The project will operate on an interoperable infrastructure among banks, with unified technical and legal standards, aiming to digitize interbank payment processes.
🔸 MUFG previously launched the Progmat platform in 2023 to support tokenization and blockchain infrastructure for Japanese financial institutions.
🔸 Japan has recently eased regulations: JPYC has been licensed to issue a yen-pegged stablecoin, while SBI Holdings plans to distribute Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin in Q1 2026, pending regulatory approval.

Japan is preparing to ease regulations to allow banks to invest in and hold cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.

🔸 The Financial Services Agency (FSA) is expected to discuss revising its 2020 guidelines, which currently prohibit banks from holding crypto due to price volatility risks.
🔸 The goal is to classify crypto as a legitimate investment asset, similar to stocks and government bonds.
🔸 The FSA will establish capital and risk management standards before allowing banks to invest directly.
🔸 In addition, the agency is considering allowing banks to register as crypto exchanges and custodians, paving the way for them to offer direct crypto services.
🔸 Japan currently has over 12 million crypto accounts, a 3.5× increase compared to five years ago.
🔸 This move aligns with Japan’s broader effort to integrate crypto under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (FIEA) to enhance investor protection.

🇺🇸 ROBINHOOD OFFICIALLY LISTS BNB FOR U.S. USERS

🔸 Robinhood has officially listed BNB, allowing U.S. investors to buy and sell the token.

🔸 This move comes after Coinbase added BNB to its listing roadmap, signaling that major U.S. exchanges are finally beginning to support BNB after many years.

🔸 This is also a prime example of herd behavior in the market — when Coinbase makes a move first, other exchanges feel safer to follow suit.

💰 PETER SCHIFF WANTS TO PUT GOLD ON THE BLOCKCHAIN

🔸 Peter Schiff believes that putting gold on the blockchain makes sense because it can function as a form of real money.

🔸 Peter is developing the Shift Gold app, which allows users to buy, store, and transfer gold instantly.

🔸 Users can convert their holdings into physical gold or digital tokens, with the gold securely stored by his company.

🔸 A debit card will enable users to spend directly from their gold balance.

🔸 Schiff believes that tokenized gold can achieve what Bitcoin promises — but with real, tangible value.

⸻

💬 CZ RESPONDS TO THIS VIEW

🔸 CZ said that most people in crypto understand that tokenized gold is not on-chain gold like Bitcoin.

🔸 It’s merely a promise that a third party will deliver gold later, which requires trust in that company.

🔸 That trust can be broken at any time — after management changes, over decades, or during wartime.

🔸 CZ called it a “trust-me-bro token,” meaning it’s not truly decentralized.

🔸 This is also why gold-backed tokens and coins, despite existing for years, have never gained real popularity in the crypto world.
