The post US Dollar Index rises to near 99.00 on fading Fed rate cut odds, Powell’s speech awaited appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. US Dollar Index appreciates ahead of Fed Chair Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium. Fed rate cut odds ease following the US Purchasing Managers’ Index data and Initial Jobless Claims. Cleveland Fed President Hammack stated there is currently no case for cutting interest rates. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the US Dollar (USD) against six major currencies, is extending its gains for the second successive session and trading around 98.80 during the Asian hours on Friday. Traders await Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium in Wyoming to gain clues on the September policy outlook. The US Dollar appreciates amid easing odds of Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate cut in September, driven by strong Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) and rising Initial Jobless Claims data from the United States (US).

WTI holds steady near $63.50 as optimism over Russia-Ukraine peace fades

WTI holds steady near $63.50 as optimism over Russia-Ukraine peace fades

The post WTI holds steady near $63.50 as optimism over Russia-Ukraine peace fades appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WTI steadies as fading prospects for an immediate Russia-Ukraine peace deal support the risk premium. Traders turn cautious amid Russian airstrikes near the EU border and Ukrainian strikes on a Russian Oil refinery. US increases pressure on India over Russian crude imports, imposing a 25% tariff on Indian goods effective August 27. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Oil price holds ground after two days of gains, trading around $63.40 during the Asian hours on Friday. Crude Oil prices were largely unchanged, with waning hopes for an immediate Russia-Ukraine peace deal underpinning the risk premium demanded by Oil sellers. Reuters cited analysts at ING, saying in a client note on Friday, “It’s proving difficult to set up a Putin-Zelenskiy summit, while discussions around potential security guarantees face obstacles,” “The less likely a ceasefire looks, the more likely the risk of tougher (US) sanctions” on Russia. The market sentiment remains cautious after reports of Russian airstrikes near the European Union (EU) border and Ukrainian attacks on a Russian Oil refinery. Moscow has demanded major concessions, but President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected giving up any territory. Oil prices may regain their ground as the United States (US) increases pressure on India over Russian crude imports, announcing a 25% tariff on Indian goods effective August 27. Crude accounts for nearly 35% of India’s imports. The demand for Oil could face challenges amid easing odds of a Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate cut in September. The higher borrowing cost negatively impacts the economic activities in the United States, the world’s largest economy, which affects Oil requirements. The CME FedWatch tool indicates that the Fed funds futures traders are now pricing in a 75% chance of a rate reduction in September, down from 82% on Wednesday. The rate cut likelihood reduced following the strong Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI)…

Here’s why Flutter stock is floating higher

Here’s why Flutter stock is floating higher

The post Here’s why Flutter stock is floating higher appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. FanDuel just inked a deal with CME Group to enter the predictions market. Flutter Entertainment (NASDAQ:FLUT) stock was up about 2% in early trading after the company announced a new partnership for its FanDuel property that will launch it into the growing predictions market. FanDuel is the largest online sports betting site, with some 4.5 million active users. With this new deal with derivatives marketplace CME Group (NASDAQ:CME), FanDuel will develop new event-based contracts that allow users to predict the outcomes in financial markets. Customers will be able to make predictions on a wide range of market questions with simple “yes” or “no” answers for as little as $1 per chance. It is essentially akin to betting on the outcome, but FanDuel and CME call it trading event-based contracts. According to FanDuel, the prediction will focus on benchmarks such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, prices of oil and gas, gold, cryptocurrencies, and key economic indicators such as gross domestic product (GDP) and Consumer Price Index (CPI). An example of a question might be, Will the S&P 500 finish above X by X date? Or will the Fed lower interest rates at its next meeting? “Individual investors are increasingly sophisticated and continually pursuing new financial opportunities,” Terry Duffy, CME group chairman and CEO, said. “To meet this demand, we have created this innovative partnership, which will operate a non-clearing FCM. Together, our event-based products will appeal to the growing public interest in markets, and we will provide education to attract a new generation of potential traders not active in derivatives today.” Additional revenue stream for FanDuel and Flutter Through this new initiative, a first for the online sports betting space, CME and FanDuel will form a new joint venture. In this joint venture, they will operate a non-clearing futures…

Can privacy survive in US crypto policy after Roman Storm’s conviction? – Cointelegraph Magazine

Can privacy survive in US crypto policy after Roman Storm’s conviction? – Cointelegraph Magazine

The post Can privacy survive in US crypto policy after Roman Storm’s conviction? – Cointelegraph Magazine appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Roman Storm’s conviction over Tornado Cash has sparked a debate about whether US authorities are narrowing crypto privacy rights despite the White House’s recent report emphasizing the importance of self-custody and individual freedoms. The case has drawn comparisons to earlier battles over Silk Road, raising questions about criminal intent, control of immutable smart contracts and whether privacy itself can ever outweigh security concerns. Meanwhile, the White House is pushing for a clear taxonomy of digital assets — commodity or security — highlighting how unresolved definitions and liability standards continue to shape US crypto policy discussions. To explore the legal implications of Storm’s conviction and the broader policy context, Magazine spoke with Joshua Chu of the Hong Kong Web3 Association, Yuriy Brisov of UK law firm Digital & Analogue Partners and Charlyn Ho of US law firm Rikka.  The conversation has been edited for clarity and length. Storm has received financial support to fund his defense from the Ethereum community. (Fede’s intern, screenshot edited) Magazine: Does Storm’s conviction highlight the tension between US policy recommendations on privacy rights and the way liability is assigned in crypto cases? Chu: If I’m putting on my asset recovery lawyer hat, we always say we target the infrastructure to safeguard our clients’ interests. There are crypto mixers that argue the nature of their activity doesn’t automatically mean they’re always used for illicit purposes. I do a lot of these cases, and I always say that it doesn’t matter if assets are going through centralized or decentralized platforms. Just because somebody purports that it’s a decentralized operating vehicle, it doesn’t mean you’re just publishing codes out there. At the end of the day, laws are laws. The real question is not whether we need new ones, but whether existing laws have been followed. Founders of Ethereum’s…
