Brera Holdings Becomes 'Solmate,' Records 225% Jump After Announcing Solana Treasury Strategy — Rally Simmers Down After Hours

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…

ChainOpera leverages Web3-based governance and incentive mechanisms to bring users, developers, GPU/data providers into co-construction and co-governance, allowing AI Agents to not only be "used" but also "co-created and co-owned." Written by 0xjacobzhao In our June research report, "The Holy Grail of Crypto AI: Exploring the Frontiers of Decentralized Training," we mentioned federated learning, a "controlled decentralization" solution situated between distributed and decentralized training. Its core approach is to retain data locally and centrally aggregate parameters, meeting privacy and compliance requirements in healthcare, finance, and other fields. At the same time, we have consistently highlighted the rise of agent networks in previous reports. Their value lies in enabling multi-agent autonomy and division of labor to collaboratively complete complex tasks, driving the evolution from "large models" to "multi-agent ecosystems." Federated learning, with its principle of "data storage within the local machine and incentives based on contribution," lays the foundation for multi-party collaboration. Its distributed nature, transparent incentives, privacy protections, and compliance practices provide directly reusable experience for the Agent Network. Following this path, the FedML team upgraded its open-source nature into TensorOpera (the AI industry infrastructure layer) and then evolved it into ChainOpera (a decentralized agent network). Of course, the Agent Network is not an inevitable extension of federated learning. Its core lies in the autonomous collaboration and task division of multiple agents. It can also be directly built on multi-agent systems (MAS), reinforcement learning (RL), or blockchain incentive mechanisms. 1. Federated Learning and AI Agent Technology Stack Architecture Federated Learning (FL) is a framework for collaborative training without centralized data. Its fundamental principle is that each participant trains the model locally and only uploads parameters or gradients to a coordinating end for aggregation, thereby achieving privacy compliance with "data staying within the domain." Through practical application in typical scenarios such as healthcare, finance, and mobile, FL has entered a relatively mature commercial stage. However, it still faces bottlenecks such as high communication overhead, incomplete privacy protection, and low convergence efficiency due to heterogeneous devices. Compared with other training models, distributed training emphasizes centralized computing power for efficiency and scale, while decentralized training achieves fully distributed collaboration through open computing networks. Federated learning lies somewhere in between, embodying a "controlled decentralization" solution that not only meets industry needs for privacy and compliance but also provides a viable path for cross-institutional collaboration, making it more suitable for transitional deployment architectures within the industry. In the entire AI Agent protocol stack, we divided it into three main layers in our previous research report, namely Agent Infrastructure Layer: This layer provides the lowest-level operational support for agents and is the technical foundation for all agent systems. Core modules: including Agent Framework (agent development and operation framework) and Agent OS (lower-level multi-task scheduling and modular runtime), providing core capabilities for agent lifecycle management. Support modules: such as Agent DID (decentralized identity), Agent Wallet & Abstraction (account abstraction and transaction execution), Agent Payment/Settlement (payment and settlement capabilities). The Coordination & Execution Layer focuses on collaboration among multiple agents, task scheduling, and system incentive mechanisms, and is the key to building the "swarm intelligence" of the agent system. Agent Orchestration: It is a command mechanism used to uniformly schedule and manage the agent lifecycle, task allocation, and execution process. It is suitable for workflow scenarios with central control. Agent Swarm: It is a collaborative structure that emphasizes the collaboration of distributed intelligent agents. It has a high degree of autonomy, division of labor, and flexible collaboration, and is suitable for coping with complex tasks in dynamic environments. Agent Incentive Layer: Builds an economic incentive system for the Agent network to stimulate the enthusiasm of developers, executors, and validators, and provide sustainable power for the intelligent ecosystem. Application & Distribution Layer Distribution subcategories: including Agent Launchpad, Agent Marketplace, and Agent Plugin Network Application subcategories: including AgentFi, Agent Native DApp, Agent-as-a-Service, etc. Consumption subcategory: Agent Social / Consumer Agent, mainly for lightweight scenarios such as consumer social interaction Meme: It is hyped by the Agent concept, lacks actual technical implementation and application landing, and is only driven by marketing. 2. FedML, the Federated Learning Benchmark, and the TensorOpera Full-Stack Platform FedML is one of the earliest open-source frameworks for federated learning and distributed training. Originating from an academic team (USC) and gradually becoming a company-owned product of TensorOpera AI, it provides researchers and developers with tools for cross-institutional and cross-device data collaboration and training. In academia, FedML has become a universal experimental platform for federated learning research, with frequent appearances at top conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML, and AAAI. In industry, FedML has a strong reputation in privacy-sensitive scenarios such as healthcare, finance, edge AI, and Web3 AI, and is considered a benchmark toolchain for federated learning. TensorOpera is FedML's commercialized upgrade into a full-stack AI infrastructure platform for enterprises and developers. While maintaining its federated learning capabilities, it expands to the GPU Marketplace, model serving, and MLOps, thereby tapping into the larger market of the large model and agent era. TensorOpera's overall architecture can be divided into three layers: the Compute Layer (foundation layer), the Scheduler Layer (scheduling layer), and the MLOps Layer (application layer). 1. Compute Layer (bottom layer) The Compute layer is the technical foundation of TensorOpera, building on the open-source DNA of FedML. Its core functions include Parameter Server, Distributed Training, Inference Endpoint, and Aggregation Server. Its value proposition lies in providing distributed training, privacy-preserving federated learning, and a scalable inference engine. It supports the three core capabilities of "Train/Deploy/Federate," covering the entire chain from model training and deployment to cross-institutional collaboration, and serves as the foundation of the entire platform. 2. Scheduler Layer (Middle Layer) The Scheduler layer serves as the computing power trading and scheduling hub, comprised of the GPU Marketplace, Provision, Master Agent, and Schedule & Orchestrate. It supports resource allocation across public clouds, GPU providers, and independent contributors. This layer represents a key milestone in the evolution of FedML to TensorOpera. Through intelligent computing power scheduling and task orchestration, it enables larger-scale AI training and inference, encompassing typical LLM and generative AI scenarios. Furthermore, the Share & Earn model within this layer includes a reserved incentive mechanism interface, potentially enabling compatibility with DePIN or Web3 models. 3. MLOps Layer (Upper Layer) The MLOps layer is the platform's direct service interface for developers and enterprises, encompassing modules such as Model Serving, AI Agent, and Studio. Typical applications include LLM Chatbot, multimodal generative AI, and the developer Copilot tool. Its value lies in abstracting underlying computing power and training capabilities into high-level APIs and products, lowering the barrier to entry. It provides ready-to-use agents, a low-code development environment, and scalable deployment capabilities. It is positioned to compete with next-generation AI infrastructure platforms such as Anyscale, Together, and Modal, serving as a bridge from infrastructure to applications. In March 2025, TensorOpera upgraded to a full-stack platform for AI agents, with core products including the AgentOpera AI App, Framework, and Platform. The application layer provides a multi-agent entry point similar to ChatGPT. The framework layer evolved into "Agentic OS" with a graph-structured multi-agent system and Orchestrator/Router. The platform layer deeply integrates with the TensorOpera model platform and FedML to enable distributed model serving, RAG optimization, and hybrid end-to-end cloud deployment. The overall goal is to create "one operating system, one agent network," enabling developers, enterprises, and users to jointly build a next-generation Agentic AI ecosystem in an open and privacy-protected environment. 3. ChainOpera AI Ecosystem Overview: From Co-founder to Technology Foundation If FedML is the technical core, providing the open-source DNA of federated learning and distributed training, and TensorOpera abstracts FedML's research findings into commercially viable full-stack AI infrastructure, then ChainOpera brings TensorOpera's platform capabilities to the blockchain, creating a decentralized agent network ecosystem through an AI Terminal + Agent Social Network + DePIN model, a computing layer, and an AI-Native blockchain. The core shift lies in the fact that TensorOpera remains primarily focused on enterprises and developers, while ChainOpera leverages Web3-based governance and incentive mechanisms to bring users, developers, and GPU/data providers into the co-construction and co-governance of AI agents, allowing them to be not just "used" but "co-created and co-owned." Co-creators ChainOpera AI provides a toolchain, infrastructure, and coordination layer for ecosystem co-creation through the Model & GPU Platform and Agent Platform, supporting model training, intelligent agent development, deployment, and expansion collaboration. The ChainOpera ecosystem's co-creators include AI agent developers (designing and operating intelligent agents), tool and service providers (templates, MCP, databases, and APIs), model developers (training and publishing model cards), GPU providers (contributing computing power through DePIN and Web2 cloud partners), and data contributors and annotators (uploading and annotating multimodal data). These three core components—development, computing power, and data—jointly drive the continued growth of the intelligent agent network. Co-owners The ChainOpera ecosystem also incorporates a co-ownership mechanism, enabling collaborative network building through collaboration and participation. AI Agent creators are individuals or teams who design and deploy new AI agents through the Agent Platform, responsible for their construction, launch, and ongoing maintenance, driving innovation in functionality and applications. AI Agent participants are members of the community. They participate in the lifecycle of AI agents by acquiring and holding Access Units, supporting their growth and activity during use and promotion. These two roles represent the supply and demand sides, respectively, and together form a model of value sharing and collaborative development within the ecosystem. Ecosystem partners: platforms and frameworks ChainOpera AI collaborates with multiple parties to enhance the platform's usability and security, focusing on Web3 integration. The AI Terminal App integrates wallets, algorithms, and aggregation platforms to enable intelligent service recommendations; the Agent Platform introduces multiple frameworks and zero-code tools to lower the development barrier; models are trained and inferred using TensorOpera AI; and an exclusive partnership with FedML supports privacy-preserving training across institutions and devices. Overall, the platform forms an open ecosystem that balances enterprise-level applications with Web3 user experience. Hardware Portal: AI Hardware & Partners Through partners such as DeAI Phone, wearables, and Robot AI, ChainOpera integrates blockchain and AI into smart terminals, enabling dApp interaction, device-side training, and privacy protection, gradually forming a decentralized AI hardware ecosystem. Core Platform and Technology Foundation: TensorOpera GenAI & FedML TensorOpera provides a full-stack GenAI platform covering MLOps, Scheduler, and Compute; its sub-platform FedML has grown from academic open source to an industrial framework, enhancing AI's ability to "run anywhere and scale arbitrarily." ChainOpera AI Ecosystem 4. ChainOpera Core Products and Full-Stack AI Agent Infrastructure In June 2025, ChainOpera officially launched the AI Terminal App and decentralized technology stack, positioning itself as a "decentralized version of OpenAI." Its core products cover four major modules: application layer (AI Terminal & Agent Network), developer layer (Agent Creator Center), model and GPU layer (Model & Compute Network), and CoAI protocol and dedicated chain, covering a complete closed loop from user entry to underlying computing power and on-chain incentives. The AI Terminal app has integrated BNBChain, supporting on-chain transactions and DeFi agent scenarios. The Agent Creator Center is open to developers, offering capabilities such as MCP/HUB, knowledge base, and RAG, with community agents continuously joining. The CO-AI Alliance has also been launched, connecting with partners such as io.net, Render, TensorOpera, FedML, and MindNetwork. According to the on-chain data of BNB DApp Bay in the past 30 days, it has 158.87K independent users and 2.6 million transaction volumes in the past 30 days. It ranks second in the BSC "AI Agent" category, showing strong on-chain activity. Super AI Agent App – AI Terminal (https://chat.chainopera.ai/) As a decentralized ChatGPT and AI social portal, AI Terminal offers multimodal collaboration, data contribution incentives, DeFi tool integration, cross-platform assistants, and support for AI agent collaboration and privacy protection (Your Data, Your Agent). Users can directly access the open-source DeepSeek-R1 model and community agents on their mobile devices, with language tokens and cryptographic tokens transparently transferred on-chain during interactions. Its value lies in enabling users to transition from "content consumers" to "intelligent co-creators," enabling them to leverage a dedicated agent network across scenarios such as DeFi, RWA, PayFi, and e-commerce. AI Agent Social Network (https://chat.chainopera.ai/agent-social-network) Positioned similarly to LinkedIn + Messenger, but for AI agents, it leverages virtual workspaces and agent-to-agent collaboration mechanisms (MetaGPT, ChatDEV, AutoGEN, and Camel) to transform single agents into multi-agent collaborative networks, encompassing applications in finance, gaming, e-commerce, and research, while gradually enhancing memory and autonomy. AI Agent Developer Platform (https://agent.chainopera.ai/) Providing developers with a "Lego-like" creative experience. Supporting zero-code and modular expansion, blockchain contracts guarantee ownership, DePIN + cloud infrastructure lowers barriers to entry, and the Marketplace provides distribution and discovery channels. Its core goal is to enable developers to quickly reach users, transparently record their contributions to the ecosystem, and earn incentives. AI Model & GPU Platform (https://platform.chainopera.ai/) As the infrastructure layer, DePIN combines with federated learning to address the pain point of Web3 AI's reliance on centralized computing power. Through distributed GPUs, privacy-preserving data training, a model and data marketplace, and end-to-end MLOps, it supports multi-agent collaboration and personalized AI. Its vision is to promote a paradigm shift in infrastructure from "companies dominated by large companies" to "community-based collaboration." 5. ChainOpera AI Roadmap In addition to the official launch of its full-stack AI Agent platform, ChainOpera AI firmly believes that artificial general intelligence (AGI) will emerge from a multimodal, multi-agent collaborative network. Therefore, its long-term roadmap is divided into four phases: The provider receives revenue based on usage. Phase 2 (Agentic Apps → Collaborative AI Economy): Launch AI Terminal, Agent Marketplace, and Agent Social Network to form a multi-agent application ecosystem; connect users, developers, and resource providers through the CoAI protocol, and introduce a user demand-developer matching system and credit system to promote high-frequency interactions and continuous economic activities. Phase 3 (Collaborative AI → Crypto-Native AI): Implemented in DeFi, RWA, payment, e-commerce and other fields, while expanding to KOL scenarios and personal data exchange; Develop dedicated LLM for finance/encryption, and launch Agent-to-Agent payment and wallet systems to promote "Crypto AGI" scenario applications. Phase 4 (Ecosystems → Autonomous AI Economies): Gradually evolve into an autonomous subnet economy, where each subnet is independently governed and tokenized around applications, infrastructure, computing power, models, and data, and collaborates through cross-subnet protocols to form a multi-subnet collaborative ecosystem; at the same time, it moves from Agentic AI to Physical AI (robotics, autonomous driving, aerospace). Disclaimer: This roadmap is for reference only. The timeline and features may be adjusted dynamically due to market conditions and does not constitute a guaranteed delivery commitment. 7. Token Incentives and Protocol Governance ChainOpera has not yet announced a complete token incentive plan, but its CoAI protocol is centered on "co-creation and co-ownership" and uses blockchain and Proof-of-Intelligence mechanisms to achieve transparent and verifiable contribution records: the input of developers, computing power, data and service providers is measured and rewarded in a standardized manner. Users use services, resource providers support operations, and developers build applications, and all participants share the growth dividend; the platform maintains the cycle with a 1% service fee, reward distribution and liquidity support, promoting an open, fair and collaborative decentralized AI ecosystem. Proof-of-Intelligence Learning Framework Proof-of-Intelligence (PoI) is the core consensus mechanism proposed by ChainOpera under the CoAI protocol, aiming to provide a transparent, fair, and verifiable incentive and governance system for decentralized AI. This blockchain-based collaborative machine learning framework, based on Proof-of-Contribution (PoC), aims to address the challenges of insufficient incentives, privacy risks, and lack of verifiability in practical applications of federated learning (FL). This design, centered around smart contracts and combining decentralized storage (IPFS), aggregation nodes, and zero-knowledge proofs (zkSNARKs), achieves five key goals: 1. Fair reward distribution based on contribution, ensuring that trainers are incentivized based on actual model improvements; 2. Maintaining data locality to protect privacy; 3. Introducing robustness mechanisms to combat malicious trainer poisoning or aggregation attacks; 4. Ensuring the verifiability of key computations such as model aggregation, anomaly detection, and contribution assessment through ZKP; and 5. Efficient and versatile application of heterogeneous data and diverse learning tasks. The value of tokens in full-stack AI ChainOpera's token mechanism operates around five major value streams (LaunchPad, Agent API, Model Serving, Contribution, and Model Training), with the core being service fees, contribution confirmation, and resource allocation, rather than speculative returns. AI users: Use tokens to access services or subscribe to applications, and contribute to the ecosystem by providing/labeling/staking data. Agent/Application Developer: Use the platform's computing power and data for development and receive protocol recognition for the Agents, applications, or datasets they contribute. Resource providers: Contribute computing power, data, or models to obtain transparent records and incentives. Governance participants (community & DAO): participate in voting, mechanism design, and ecosystem coordination through tokens. Protocol layer (COAI): Maintain sustainable development through service fees and balance supply and demand using an automated allocation mechanism. Nodes and validators: provide verification, computing power, and security services to ensure network reliability. Protocol Governance ChainOpera utilizes DAO governance, allowing participants to participate in proposals and voting through token staking, ensuring transparent and fair decision-making. Governance mechanisms include a reputation system (to verify and quantify contributions), community collaboration (proposals and voting to drive ecosystem development), and parameter adjustments (data usage, security, and validator accountability). The overall goal is to avoid centralized power, maintain system stability, and foster community co-creation. 8.

The team stated that this round of funding will accelerate the realization of its vision of "a decentralized AI ecosystem co-owned and co-created by AI resource contributors, developers, and users." 9. Analysis of the Federated Learning and AI Agent Market Landscape There are four main representative federated learning frameworks: FedML, Flower, TFF, and OpenFL. FedML is the most comprehensive, combining federated learning, distributed large-scale model training, and MLOps, making it suitable for industrial deployment. Flower is lightweight and easy to use, with an active community, and is oriented towards teaching and small-scale experiments. TFF, deeply dependent on TensorFlow, has high academic research value but weak industrialization. OpenFL focuses on healthcare and finance, emphasizes privacy compliance, and has a relatively closed ecosystem. Overall, FedML represents an industrial-grade, all-round approach, Flower focuses on ease of use and education, TFF is more focused on academic experiments, and OpenFL has advantages in compliance with vertical industry regulations. At the industrialization and infrastructure level, TensorOpera (the commercialization of FedML) inherits the technical expertise of open-source FedML, providing integrated capabilities for cross-cloud GPU scheduling, distributed training, federated learning, and MLOps. Its goal is to bridge academic research and industrial applications, serving developers, small and medium-sized enterprises, and the Web3/Decentralized Infrastructure (Decentralized Infrastructure) ecosystem. Overall, TensorOpera is like "Hugging Face + W&B for open-source FedML," offering a more comprehensive and versatile full-stack distributed training and federated learning platform, distinguishing it from other platforms focused on community, tools, or a single industry. Among the innovation-tier representatives, ChainOpera and Flock are both attempting to integrate federated learning with Web3, but their approaches differ significantly. ChainOpera builds a full-stack AI agent platform encompassing four layers: access, social networking, development, and infrastructure. Its core value lies in transforming users from "consumers" to "co-creators," enabling collaborative AGI and community-building ecosystems through its AI Terminal and Agent Social Network. Flock, on the other hand, focuses more on blockchain-enhanced federated learning (BAFL), emphasizing privacy protection and incentive mechanisms within a decentralized environment, primarily targeting collaborative verification at the computing and data layers. ChainOpera prioritizes application and agent network implementation, while Flock focuses on strengthening underlying training and privacy-preserving computing. At the agent network level, the most representative project in the industry is Olas Network. ChainOpera, derived from federated learning, builds a full-stack closed loop of models, computing power, and agents, and uses the Agent Social Network as a testing ground to explore multi-agent interaction and social collaboration. Olas Network, rooted in DAO collaboration and the DeFi ecosystem, is positioned as a decentralized autonomous service network. Through Pearl, it launches a directly implementable DeFi revenue scenario, demonstrating a distinct approach from ChainOpera. 10. Investment Logic and Potential Risk Analysis Investment Logic ChainOpera's advantage lies first in its technological moat: from FedML (a benchmark open source framework for federated learning) to TensorOpera (enterprise-level full-stack AI Infra), and then to ChainOpera (Web3 Agent network + DePIN + Tokenomics), it has formed a unique continuous evolution path that combines academic accumulation, industrial implementation and encryption narrative. In terms of application and user scale, AI Terminal has already established an ecosystem with hundreds of thousands of daily active users and thousands of Agents. It ranks first in the AI category on BNBChain DApp Bay, demonstrating clear on-chain user growth and real transaction volume. Its multimodal coverage of crypto-native applications is expected to gradually expand to a wider range of Web2 users. In terms of ecological cooperation, ChainOpera initiated the CO-AI Alliance, and joined forces with partners such as io.net, Render, TensorOpera, FedML, MindNetwork, etc. to build multilateral network effects such as GPU, model, data, and privacy computing; at the same time, it cooperated with Samsung Electronics to verify mobile multimodal GenAI, demonstrating the potential for expansion to hardware and edge AI. In terms of tokens and economic models, ChainOpera distributes incentives around five major value streams (LaunchPad, Agent API, Model Serving, Contribution, and Model Training) based on the Proof-of-Intelligence consensus, and forms a positive cycle through a 1% platform service fee, incentive distribution, and liquidity support, avoiding a single "coin speculation" model and improving sustainability. Potential risks First, the technical implementation is quite challenging. ChainOpera's proposed five-layer decentralized architecture spans a wide range of domains, and cross-layer collaboration (especially in large-scale distributed inference and privacy-preserving training) still faces performance and stability challenges. It has yet to be verified in large-scale applications. Secondly, the ecosystem's user stickiness remains to be seen. While the project has achieved initial user growth, it remains to be seen whether the Agent Marketplace and developer toolchain can maintain long-term activity and high-quality supply. The currently launched Agent Social Network primarily relies on LLM-driven text conversations, and user experience and long-term retention still need further improvement. If the incentive mechanism is not carefully designed, there is a risk of high short-term activity but insufficient long-term value. Finally, the sustainability of the business model remains to be determined. Currently, revenue relies primarily on platform service fees and token circulation, and stable cash flow has yet to be established. Compared to more financial or productivity-focused applications like AgentFi or Payment, the commercial value of the current model requires further verification. Furthermore, the mobile and hardware ecosystems are still in the exploratory stages, leaving market prospects uncertain.

The post Edges higher ahead of BoC-Fed policy outcome appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CAD gains marginally to near 1.3760 ahead of monetary policy announcements by the Fed and the BoC. Both the Fed and the BoC are expected to lower interest rates. USD/CAD forms a Head and Shoulder chart pattern. The USD/CAD pair ticks up to near 1.3760 during the late European session on Wednesday. The Loonie pair gains marginally ahead of monetary policy outcomes by the Bank of Canada (BoC) and the Federal Reserve (Fed) during New York trading hours. Both the BoC and the Fed are expected to cut interest rates amid mounting labor market conditions in their respective economies. Inflationary pressures in the Canadian economy have cooled down, emerging as another reason behind the BoC’s dovish expectations. However, the Fed is expected to start the monetary-easing campaign despite the United States (US) inflation remaining higher. Investors will closely monitor press conferences from both Fed Chair Jerome Powell and BoC Governor Tiff Macklem to get cues about whether there will be more interest rate cuts in the remainder of the year. According to analysts from Barclays, the Fed’s latest median projections for interest rates are likely to call for three interest rate cuts by 2025. Ahead of the Fed’s monetary policy, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, holds onto Tuesday’s losses near 96.60.
