Wu stated that it was informed that it had regained control of the Discord server. Previously, there had been a false announcement on the server that “ext tokens had been opened” and the official emphasis had been placed that there was no TGE, nor was there an ext token. The user is reminded not to connect to the website, sign messages or authorize transactions. Users who have interacted with malicious websites should immediately withdraw their token authorization, transfer assets and consider their original wallets as leaked. Any future airdrops, TGE or currency applications will be published only through the official X account number。

Federal Reserve Chairman Walsh's first monetary policy report to Congress today

Today, Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Walsh will appear before Congress at 10 a.m. Eastern Time to give testimony on the first monetary policy report. The market will be concerned about whether he would suggest that continued inflation could force interest rates to increase. According to market expectations, there are three possible outcomes: hawks: an increase in interest-rate concerns, an increase in the United States dollar and rates of return, a decrease in interest-rate concerns, a decrease in returns, and a possible rebound of risk assets: without new guidance, the market will refocus on inflation data. At present, Polymarket is projected to increase interest rates by 36 per cent, up from 15 per cent last week。

The Trompholmuz billing scheme raises oil supply risk concerns

President Trump ' s plan to levy a 20 per cent levy on goods passing through the Strait of Hormuz could threaten global oil supplies, especially in the event that the conflict could once again close this critical waterway. According to the analyst, the proposed charge is not only a direct cost but, more importantly, a signal it conveys: a disruption in transport may lead to a shortage of supplies and subvert earlier projections of surpluses. According to Andy Lipow, Managing Director of Lipow Oil Associates, the market had hoped that the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran would lead to a stronger supply, but optimism had diminished. He estimated that a levy on crude oil cargo would increase the cost of transporting oil per barrel by approximately $16. Citi warned that the implementation of the cost could increase the risk of a recent military conflict, and the analysts believed that the risk of military escalation would increase significantly if the announcement were implemented。
