Goldman Sachs said Wednesday’s U.S. inflation data, paired with New York Fed President John Williams’ comments yesterday, has led the firm to now view an October Federal Reserve interest rate hike as unlikely. Economists Jan Hatzius, David Mericle, and Alec Phillips noted in a research report that, based on the latest inflation data, they project fourth-quarter core PCE year-over-year growth will reach 3.0%, well below the 3.4% median forecast from FOMC participants. The bank has thus pushed back its expectation for a second rate hike to December, and believes the FOMC has a high likelihood of ultimately determining no further rate increases are needed.

The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note rose to 5.29%, hitting a new high since 2007.

Bubblemaps stated in a post that meme coin Super Inu (SI) was launched around the time former US President Donald Trump pushed to rebrand artificial intelligence as "Super Intelligence", and the token rallied rapidly after Trump publicly used the "SI" shorthand. On-chain data reveals wallet 9pkJqJ created SI, minting 20% of its total supply for itself, then acquired an additional 12% via eight other wallets, bringing its total holdings to 32% of the token’s supply. The wallet later sold all its SI for approximately $24,000; had it held onto the tokens, they would now be valued at around $15 million. The developer repurchased SI after selling prematurely, but by that point the token’s price had already surged.

Ethereum Name Service (ENS) founder Nick Johnson has released a statement denying that he issued tokens on Robinhood. He explained that the relevant account was created for a Twitter contest, where participants needed to find the account’s mnemonic phrase from an image. The account and its mnemonic phrase have thus long been public, and are not his private account intended for token issuance.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Wednesday unveiled a series of reform proposals aimed at expanding individual investors’ access to private markets, enabling more retail investors to gain exposure to private equity, early-stage startups and other alternative assets. One proposal would allow registered investment advisors to charge performance fees of up to 20% based on fund performance, aligning the fee structure closer to the “2% management fee + 20% performance fee” model used by some hedge funds, in a bid to attract more private fund managers to serve individual investors. SEC Chair Paul Atkins stated that the commission aims to explore ways to expand individual investors’ participation in private markets while preventing fraud and misconduct. The SEC also proposed expanding the definition of an “accredited investor” to qualify more individuals with professional credentials, including certified public accountants (CPAs) and Chartered Financial Analysts (CFAs), as eligible investors.
