Former World Bank President David Malpass Makes Special Statements on Interest Rate Cuts, the Fed, and the US Economy
Former World Bank President David Malpass harshly criticized FED Chairman Jerome Powell's interest rate policy.
Former World Bank President and Purdue University School of Business International Finance Expert David Malpass criticized the FED's interest rate policy on the Squawk Box program he attended on CNBC.

Malpass said the Fed's interest rates are “still too high” and are holding back growth in the U.S. economy.

Malpass criticized Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s statement that Trump’s tariffs had raised inflation expectations and delayed interest rate cuts. Malpass described Powell’s assessment, made in Europe, as “contextual but distracting,” adding, “The real problem is that the Fed is still keeping interest rates too high.”

Stating that the European Central Bank prefers low growth, Malpass stated that this approach is not suitable for the US:

“The entire economy cannot be run on the principle of ‘let’s not overheat.’ That’s bad for the middle class and small businesses.”
Malpass argued that Trump's proposal to not tax tips was a step in the right direction to support the working class.
The program also brought up the compromise bill that would extend Trump’s tax cuts. Former Treasury Secretaries Robert Rubin and Larry Summers’ article titled “This Bill Is Dangerous” was recalled. Malpass said he disagreed with these criticisms:
“If this law is not passed, there will be a tax increase. This will have a negative impact on growth. Rubin and Summers' proposals are from the 1990s. Today's conditions are different.”

Malpass responded to criticism that the bill would add an additional $3.3 trillion to the budget as follows:
“These numbers are static models that assume the tax cuts are not extended and have no impact on growth. That is not the reality. The U.S. economy could grow much faster

#BTCPrediction One of Belgium’s Largest Banks Takes Important Step with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH)
KBC, one of Belgium's major financial institutions, is preparing to offer its customers the opportunity to purchase Bitcoin and Ethereum.
KBC, one of Belgium’s leading financial institutions, is preparing to offer individual clients the opportunity to purchase Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) through its investment platform Bolero starting this fall. This move is a first for a major Belgian bank.
According to a statement from KBC, the regulatory process required to gain official recognition as a crypto asset service provider is currently under analysis. The bank expects this process to be completed and approval to be received by the fall. Once approved, individual investors will be able to purchase BTC and ETH directly through KBC’s secure platform. The bank states that special attention will be paid to user education, security and legal compliance.
The move makes KBC the first major Belgian bank to announce concrete plans to offer cryptocurrency services. Until now, Belgian investors have generally had to turn to foreign platforms such as Binance, Coinbase and OKX, or digital banks such as Revolut and N26 for their crypto investments.

Other major Belgian banks are taking a cautious approach. Belfius says it is exploring how to adapt to the crypto market through its investment platform Re=bel. ING Belgium says it is examining the issue “very carefully,” while BNP Paribas Fortis says it has no plans to offer any crypto-related services.
Large banks in Europe have long shied away from the sector due to regulatory uncertainty, money laundering risks, and the high volatility of crypto assets. However, the introduction of the European Union’s MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) regulation regulating crypto asset markets has changed the situation as banks no longer need extensive new licenses to enter the digital asset

Ripple-backed Company’s $100 Million XRP Announcement Causes a Stir
The $100 million step from the company, which is traded on the US stock exchange and previously announced its XRP strategy, made a splash.
US-listed Webus International Limited has announced that it has signed a senior equity credit line agreement with Ripple Strategy Holdings for up to $100 million. According to the press release, the financing will be used as part of Webus’ strategy to increase its XRP reserves.

Prediction 2: Bitcoin ETFs will attract more inflows in 2025 than in 2024. – Still valid.

#BTCPrediction Is Bitcoin (BTC) Currently Overpriced or Undervalued? Here’s What Analysts Think
Cryptocurrency analyst Axel Adler discussed the current situation of Bitcoin price being either too expensive or too cheap.
Cryptocurrency analyst Axel Adler has provided important data on the current market position of Bitcoin. Based on the metric “Bitcoin Distribution by Realized Supply,” Adler assessed how expensive or cheap Bitcoin’s current price level is relative to the average cost of investors.

According to Adler, “Realized Supply” represents the total dollar value of Bitcoins on the network, calculated based on the most recent price movement. The ratio between this metric and the Bitcoin price allows comparison of today’s price with the average cost paid by investors.

According to Adler, the Bitcoin price is currently slightly above the annual average based on this ratio. This shows that the market is neither overbought nor oversold, i.e. in a neutral position. Adler recalled that a similar ratio was observed before the rise in November 2024, when Bitcoin rose from $ 74,000 to $ 107,000.
Adler, who touched upon another important indicator in his analysis, the “365-Day Bitcoin Price Change” metric, stated that this rate is currently around 30%. In other words, Adler stated that Bitcoin is currently increasing in value by around 30% on an annual basis, and that if a classic macro cycle is followed, this increase could reach levels of 60-70%, at which point investors will decide whether to make a profit or not.
“Once this threshold level is reached, investors will either choose to take profits or wait for the rise to continue,” Adler said, adding that a similar structure has continued since September 2023.

#StrategyBTCPurchase According to Cointelegraph, the price of XRP (XRP) showed signs of indecision on June 30, experiencing a slight decline of 0.8% over the past 24 hours to trade at $2.17. Despite this, XRP remains above the $2.00 mark, with analysts emphasizing the importance of overcoming key resistance levels to achieve new all-time highs. Institutional interest in XRP investment products is on the rise, as evidenced by data from CoinShares. XRP exchange-traded products (ETPs) saw inflows of $10.6 million in the week ending June 27, contributing to a total of $219 million in inflows for the first half of the year. This trend reflects a growing institutional appetite for XRP, alongside other major altcoins such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and Solana (SOL), which recorded net inflows of $2.2 billion, $429.1 million, and $5.3 million, respectively.
James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, attributes this resilient investor demand to factors such as heightened geopolitical volatility and uncertainty surrounding monetary policy. Additionally, the supply held by entities with a balance of 1 million to 10 million tokens has increased, now accounting for 9.9% of the total XRP supply—a 65% rise since late November 2024. XRP's price has surged by approximately 350% during this period. Notably, whale holdings of XRP increased even during a 35% price pullback to $1.60 between January and April, suggesting that larger holders, often seen as patient or strategic investors, are accumulating positions in anticipation of further gains.$XRP

Long-Awaited Innovation in Ripple (XRP) Begins Today – Company CTO Makes Announcement
Ripple, the company behind XRP, announced the launch of a major development for the altcoin’s network today.
Ripple has announced that it has integrated the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible sidechain of the XRP Ledger into its mainnet.

This sidechain aims to increase the interoperability of the XRP ecosystem and enable developers to easily deploy their Ethereum-based decentralized applications (dapps) on XRPL.

The new EVM sidechain supports EVM-compatible smart contracts while maintaining a connection to the XRP Ledger. According to Ripple’s blog post, this architecture provides developers with access to the XRP ecosystem at a low cost and allows them to combine the benefits of XRPL’s payment infrastructure with Ethereum applications.

“XRPL EVM Sidechain provides a flexible environment for developers to deploy EVM-based applications while maintaining a connection to the efficiency of XRPL,” said David Schwartz, Ripple CTO and co-founder of XRPL. “This solution expands the capabilities of the ecosystem without compromising the reliability of XRPL.”

This sidechain operates as an independent blockchain that runs parallel and in conjunction with the XRP Ledger. The connection is provided via the Axelar protocol. XRP will be used as the native gas token in transactions on the sidechain.

According to Ripple, this development creates an attractive development environment for developers by providing access to the XRPL network, which has over 6 million wallet owners. In the future, the sidechain is also planned to be integrated with another interoperability protocol, Wormhole.

The token was recently distributed to users via airdrop.

Sahara began its journey with a Testnet launch in 2024 and quickly surpassed 3.2 million on-chain users and 1.4 million daily active users.

The REX-OSPREY Solana ETF will begin trading on Wednesday, according to the CEO.

“If we put the whole system together, it looks like we’re all set for launch,” Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said in a post on the X (formerly Twitter) platform on Friday.

ETF Store President Nate Geraci said in a statement the same day that the SEC appeared open to the relatively rare C-Corp (C-corporation) business model that REX Shares uses in its fund structure. This structure had previously been found problematic by the SEC because it conflicted with Rule 6C-11, which governs the governance of ETFs.

“It looks like they’re leaning toward moving forward with the creative 40 Act structure,” Geraci said, adding that the process is accelerating, “Here we go.” He also added that they believe all of the SEC’s comments have been resolved. “It looks like the comment issue has been resolved.”

Tensions Escalate Between Donald Trump and Fed Chair Jerome Powell – Trump Sends Handwritten Letter – Here Are the Details
Donald Trump's insistence on FED Chairman Jerome Powell to 'lower interest rates' continues at full speed.
US President Donald Trump continues to pressure Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to cut interest rates.

Trump slammed Powell in a handwritten note shared on the Truth Social platform on Monday, saying interest rates should be lowered “significantly.”

Trump tweeted, “Powell and the Fed Board should be ashamed. They have one of the easiest yet most prestigious jobs in America and they have failed, and continue to fail.”

The image added to the post included a message Trump wrote with a Sharpie pen on a table showing central bank interest rates in different countries:

“Jerome – As usual, you are too late. You have cost the United States a fortune – and continue to do so – you must seriously lower interest rates!” Trump wrote in his note, adding “Hundreds of billions of dollars being lost! No inflation” and signing off.

Note shared by Donald Trump on the social media platform Truth Social.

Trump argued that the US interest rates should be at 1.75% or lower, and that the country should be among the countries with low interest rates.

Fed officials had planned to continue reducing interest rates once inflation slowed to its annual target of 2% in early 2025. However, those steps were postponed in the first half of the year due to the uncertainty created by Trump's tariff plans.

In a statement last week, Powell defended the Fed's decision to keep interest rates on hold again and said that “patience is needed.”

Trump, on the other hand, has been continuing his criticism of Powell for months. Trump, who has previously stated that he was considering firing Powell, whom he nicknamed “Mr. Too Late,” appointed Powell to the position in 2017. Powell's term will end in 2026.
