ポールソン氏は、再び利下げを急ぐ必要はないという主流の見解に同意する姿勢を示した。ポールソン氏は今年、政策金利の投票権を持つ委員となる。彼女は過去3回の会合でFRBが利下げを決定したことを支持している。彼女は、年末までにインフレ率が中央銀行の目標である2％に向けて意味のある進展を遂げると予想しているが、1月27日から28日にかけて開催されるFRBの次回会合で金利を据え置くことに満足していると述べた。金利は依然として十分に高く、成長を刺激も抑制もしない中立水準をやや上回っていると彼女は考え、現水準を維持することが適切であり、インフレ抑制の任務達成に寄与すると述べた。同時にポールソン氏は、インフレデータが彼女の予想（価格圧力が緩和している）を裏付けるか、雇用市場の状況が予想外に悪化している証拠が現れるかのいずれかの条件を満たせば、今年後半に小幅な利下げに傾く可能性があると示唆した。（金十）

According to ChainCatcher, some policymakers at the Bank of Japan are contemplating an earlier-than-expected interest rate hike, potentially as soon as April, due to the ongoing depreciation of the yen which could exacerbate inflation pressures. The policymakers face the challenging task of increasing borrowing costs that have been low for years, amidst global economic headwinds, while Japan's economy is just beginning to recover from prolonged deflation. The central bank raised rates to a thirty-year high in December and is expected to maintain them at the upcoming January meeting. However, insiders suggest that many policymakers see room for further hikes, with some not ruling out action in April, which would be earlier than the market's expectation of a rate increase in the latter half of the year. Sources indicate that if sufficient evidence emerges showing Japan can consistently achieve its 2% inflation target, some within the Bank of Japan may consider acting sooner.

Nearly 24 hours after the GOP-led markup on the Senate Banking Committee’s bill was pulled, industry insiders, lawmakers, and staffers are still processing the fallout—and many remain frustrated by the process, according to Eleanor Terrett (@EleanorTerrett).Sources tell Terrett that hope remains for the legislation if banks, Coinbase, and Democratic lawmakers can reach a deal on yield in the coming days. “All is not lost,” said one insider.The contentious tokenized securities provision, Section 505, now appears less of a roadblock. Tokenization firms suggest the language Coinbase objected to was taken out of context, while stakeholders—including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong—say a significant amendment or removal of the section is possible.Ethics concerns remain unchanged, and talks between the White House and Senate are ongoing.Questions also persist about whether the Banking Committee’s shifted markup will affect the Agriculture Committee’s timeline. Sources tell Terrett the order may not matter: if Agriculture secures a bipartisan deal, it could ease the Senate Banking process. This mirrors last summer’s House experience, when the Agriculture Committee passed its portion of the Clarity Act 47-6, encouraging the Financial Services Committee to move forward even with less Democratic support.As negotiations continue, both the industry and Congress are watching closely to see if a compromise emerges to revive the bill.
