Week of 27th May 2022. Here's your intelligence brief on the tokens and markets that are contributing to growth of the Tokenised Earth Economy and relevant to ReFi.
The FOMC met again this week, and they're not backing down on their plans to drive inflation down. All set to go ahead with multiple 50 basis-point interest rate increases. Furthermore, the Fed approved a plan to reduce the central bank's $9 trillion beginning in June, mainly including Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities.
This hasn't helped the markets this week as we've seen Bitcoin range between $28.6k and $30.8k. It's a sideways market for now. Month ends are generally quite volatile as options expire. Max pain for this week is $34k. We are well below that, so we may see an artificial pump, or traders have just lost this month's bet.
On a positive note, Andreesen Horowitz raised $4.5 billion to take advantage of bargains in a bear market. That's a healthy sign. Ark and 21Shares refile for a Bitcoin spot ETF. Thailand exempts VAT on crypto transfers.
