Under EU rules, unlicensed crypto companies must withdraw from EU business starting July 1. Binance said it will comply with the regulatory requirements of the jurisdictions where it operates and is seeking MiCA authorization.

Goldman Sachs pushes its second rate hike forecast to December.
According to news from Bijie, Goldman Sachs has postponed its forecast for the Federal Reserve's second rate hike from October to December, after August core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) inflation came in near 3%, below expectations. Goldman Sachs revised its interest rate forecast after the inflation data was released on September 30 and adjusted it based on comments from New York Fed President John Williams. The bank still expects a rate hike in December, but believes the Federal Open Market Committee may conclude that further rate hikes are no longer needed. According to data from Investing.com, August core PCE inflation rose 0.25% from July and 3.01% year over year, both below expectations. Goldman Sachs also adjusted its forecast for fourth-quarter core PCE inflation to 3%, below the median of 3.4% among Federal Reserve policymakers. In addition, Investing.com reported that U.S. economic growth in the second quarter was revised up by 0.7 percentage points to an annualized 2.2%, mainly due to strong consumption and investment. Nevertheless, the bank still lowered its third-quarter growth forecast by 0.1 percentage points to 3.3%.

Coinbase CEO: In a few years, it may be the banks that push the U.S. to pass CLARITY 2.0 instead.
According to news from Bijie, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said in an exclusive interview on "The Wolf Of All Streets" that a few years from now, it may actually be the banks that push the United States to pass "CLARITY 2.0." He agreed with former CFTC Chairman Chris Giancarlo's assessment, believing that banks and traditional financial institutions need this bill more than the crypto industry, because they are more constrained by the law, move more slowly, and yet want to enter the crypto asset custody market. Armstrong also said that the failure of this round of CLARITY to pass was related to bank lobbying. Banks opposed the stablecoin rewards Coinbase offers to customers, and after the bill fell through, Coinbase can still continue to distribute rewards, while banks instead face greater competitive pressure.
