Analysis
September’s Surprise
September has historically been a challenging month for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market. However, this year, we’re witnessing a relatively positive performance in September for BTC and most altcoins. However, the month isn’t over yet.
Japan’s Economic Shift
Japan’s consideration to slowly exit its zero-interest-rate policy has captured global attention. This move could impact global bond markets, particularly by raising long-term interest rates, potentially influencing crypto markets and beyond. The Kishida administration is starting to face extreme pressure from the population due to the country’s high inflation and the declining yen.
The monetary policy of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey
The Turkish lira’s correlation with the crypto market is worth mentioning. The recent interest rate hike by Turkey’s central bank from 25% to 30% affected BTC and other major cryptocurrencies, signaling how monetary policies in different parts of the world can sway crypto trends.
SEC’s Watchful Eye
David Hirsch, the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit, has issued a warning that more enforcement actions could be on the horizon for the cryptocurrency industry including the DeFi space.
Hirsch’s statement suggests that the SEC is considering bringing charges against various entities within the crypto ecosystem, including brokers, dealers, exchanges, and clearing agencies. The primary focus of these potential charges would revolve around issues related to inadequate disclosures and a failure to register with the regulatory authorities.
