Once legislation and tax treatment are clarified, we are ready to embark on this work." JPX also believes that if there are delays, the listing could be postponed until 2028.

BlockBeats News, on April 30, DeepThink columnist and Research analyst Chloe from a certain exchange analyzed that the Federal Reserve is currently entering a phase of "policy path uncertainty + power structure reshaping." The impact on the crypto market has shifted from a single interest rate expectation to a more complex framework of liquidity and risk pricing. On one hand, the current system represented by Jerome Powell clearly signals that there will be no short-term rate cuts. Against the backdrop of rising energy prices, core inflation sticking around 3%, and tariff transmission effects, real interest rates may remain elevated or even tighten further, directly restricting the Beta expansion space in the crypto market. This especially constrains sectors reliant on leverage and liquidity, such as Perp and DeFi. Incoming Kevin Warsh advocates for a "more divided, more openly debated" decision-making process, which means future policy signals will no longer be stable and single-sourced, but will feature multi-source competition. This decentralization of signals will significantly increase market volatility, making the interest rate expectation curve harder to price, and thus raising the discount rate for risk assets. For the crypto market, macro liquidity will not provide clear direction in the short term, so trending markets will rely more on structural narratives such as RWA, on-chain yields, and trading infrastructure rather than a single easing expectation. Meanwhile, if the hawkish consensus within the Federal Reserve strengthens and political intervention increases, threatening its independence, this could trigger a repricing of US dollar credit and the long-term interest rate system, which in turn provides medium- to long-term narrative support for non-sovereign assets like BTC. From a market observation perspective, betting unilaterally on macro easing in the current environment has limited odds of success, and structural opportunities may deserve more attention.
