June 29th - Given the Reserve Bank of Australias recent warning that official interest rates could rise further, issues concerning the Middle East conflict and oil prices remain crucial. Matthew Hassan, Head of Macro Forecasting for Australia at Westpac, expects the normalization of oil and gas supplies to be a "slow and tortuous process." He noted that concerns about persistently high domestic inflation will force the RBA to raise interest rates further in August. Hassan added that this decision will be difficult for the committee given the already weak economic growth.Invesco survey: 61% of central banks believe that the level of US debt has a negative impact on the long-term status of the dollar as a reserve asset.June 29 - On June 28 local time, Venezuelan Acting President Rodriguez stated that power services in La Guaira state, the hardest-hit area by the earthquake, have been restored to 75%, water supply to 68%, and road traffic to approximately 90%, with road and vehicle traffic essentially back to normal.Ruwei Technology announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that it plans to issue 28.08 million H shares in its Hong Kong listing at a price of HK$21.66 per share, with trading expected to commence on July 8.June 29 - According to Kintetsu Railway Company, a train derailed at Kyoto Station at approximately 5:13 AM local time on June 29.

Government personnel who actively engage in cryptocurrencies or are discovered to be in possession of any are prohibited from taking part in the creation of legislation and policies pertaining to cryptocurrencies, according to a recent directive from the US Office of Government Ethics.

With Some Exceptions

Additionally, the advisory notice made clear that even if the restriction is in effect, it only does so with a de minimis exception.


Owners are still able to invest in cryptocurrencies via publicly listed shares and mutual funds of businesses offering cryptocurrency and blockchain services because to this exception. Stablecoins and all other forms of cryptocurrency are included.


Government personnel are still permitted to acquire cryptocurrencies; but, doing so will prevent them from contributing to the development of crypto-related regulations.


They may still work on such initiatives, however, provided they divert their cryptocurrency holdings into other financial opportunities.


The notification went on to further describe the situation, saying "An employee may not engage in a specific topic if the employee understands that particular item might have a direct and predictable influence on the value of their cryptocurrency or stablecoins."


However, even for those who are permitted to invest in cryptocurrency-related stock index listings, a $50k threshold has been imposed over which the de minimis exemption is no longer applicable.

Crypto investors suffer a loss

The cryptocurrency market isn't in the greatest of health right now, even if the Biden administration is concentrating on creating laws for cryptocurrencies after the POTUS issued an executive order for the same.


The continued bearishness is having an impact on cryptocurrency firms as the overall market value of all cryptocurrencies is struggling to reach $1 trillion.


Voyager Digital has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy a week after stopping the platform's withdrawal, trading, and deposit services after Harmony almost went bankrupt a while back.


Thus, even without the US GOE's decision, it would only have taken these investors a little longer to leave the market, similar to how many other investors are already doing.
