According to a recent survey, Canadians are less excited about investing in cryptocurrencies than they were a year ago. They are also less inclined to believe that cryptocurrencies will play a big role in the economy going forward. November 29 marked the release of the ‘Crypto Assets Survey 2023’ by the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC), which was carried out in late May in partnership with Ipsos. 2,360 Canadians participated in the survey, which represented a proportionate cross-section of the nation in terms of gender, age, and geography. The results showed that the majority of people in Canada are sceptical of…
A UK Parliament panel recommends that the Bank of England proceed cautiously with the digital pound.
The Bank of England (BOE) has been recommended by a powerful commission in the UK Parliament to examine if a state-backed digital pound is indeed required, given the potential hazards to privacy and the banking system. The Treasury Committee recommended that the central bank act cautiously and take steps to reduce the dangers associated with “Bitcoin,” such as reducing the maximum quantity of digital pounds that individuals may possess. The panel, which included lawmakers from the major political parties in Parliament, came to the conclusion that it is unclear at this point if the advantages will likely outweigh the hazards.…

Expectations of rate cuts and inflation alleviation have markets waiting for Fed Chair Powell’s remarks.
Trader attention will be focused on Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks on Friday, as markets continue to resist the Federal Reserve’s higher-for-longer message. This is the last chance the central bank will have to set expectations prior to their December meeting. Before making its announcement on December 14, the Fed will go into blackout on Saturday. Powell, who is scheduled to speak at Spelman College, will have a difficult time persuading the market that interest rates will remain high until 2024. This is a result of the ongoing decline in inflation. The consumer price index, which was issued earlier this month,…
Owing to the slowing US economy, the Federal Reserve is anticipated to lower interest rates six times in 2024.
According to ING Economics, the Federal Reserve is expected to lower interest rates six times in 2024. In reaction to the US economy’s slowdown, interest rates are projected to be lowered starting in the second quarter and going all the way through 2025. More interest rate reduction will be required than the market presently believes due to lowering inflation, a cooling labour market, and a worsening outlook for consumer spending, according to ING Economics. The senior international economist at ING Economics, James Knightley, projects that the Fed will begin reducing interest rates in the second quarter of 2019 and may…

According to Chen Zhao, the lead economist at Redfin, “mortgage rates are dropping due to easing inflation and investors betting the Fed will cut interest rates sooner than expected,” the announcement stated. “Declining rates, along with a…
Amidst expectations of a rate cut, Asian markets begin December cautiously.
After some recent high advances, Asian sharemarkets started December cautiously, but mounting optimism that Europe and the US will lower interest rates should lessen the pressure on regional currencies and central banks. After falling more than 2% over night, oil prices around the world kept going down as OPEC+ producers’ voluntary output cuts for the first quarter of 2019 didn’t meet market expectations. The largest MSCI index of Asia-Pacific stocks outside of Japan dropped 0.5% following a record high of 7.3% previous month. Japan’s Nikkei was unchanged in November, despite posting its best month in three years with an 8.5%…

BlackRock has made changes to its Bitcoin Spot ETF proposal. Attracting investors while balancing the SEC’s preferences is the goal. BlackRock has been attempting to make real Bitcoin trading possible, but the SEC has been cautious in granting requests of this nature.

Exchange Traded Funded, the in-kind Bitcoin Spot ETF, has undergone revisions to guarantee that traders can trade Bitcoin directly, independent of futures, unlike other cash-based ETFs. The SEC and Nasdaq are presently considering the suggestion. It happens after BlackRock received input from the SEC requesting…
