Days ago, the International Financial Planning Standards Board (FPSB) organized financial planners (CFPCM) from 13 countries to attend a survey of crypto assets (Crypto Assets).

Classify crypto products as simple products and complex products, 2. Crypto-asset marketing and sales, 3. Social media influencers (such as KOL) or financial industry influencers (Fin-fluencers).

##Macro: The U.S. 30-Year Treasury Bond Yield Rose to 4.815%; Fed May Further Hike Interests by End of the Year
A series of hawkish speeches delivered by the Federal Reserve officials in the early hours of Tuesday put a chilling effect on the crypto market.
 
In a speech,  Powell, the Federal Reserve’s Chairman, mentioned that it has been the Fed's consistent goal to keep a strong labor market and to maintain price stability is a necessary step to achieve this goal. In the later stage of the economic expansion, the low-income groups will see the most obvious increase in their personal income.

At Monday's bank meeting,  Fed Governor Bowman mentioned in a speech that he will continue to approve Fed’s interest hike if inflation cannot be brought down to 2% in time.

Another hawk,  Mester from the Fed, clearly affirmed the possibility of the Fed’s interest hike.   He recognized the role played by the interest rate policy in controlling inflation, yet admitted the policy still failed to bring the inflation to a satisfactory level. This situation will provide grounds for the Fed to further hike the interest rate this year.

Although there is a divergence of opinions among Fed officials on whether to lift the interest rate hike one more time this year, it is a consensus among them that a high-interest rate will stay for a period of time until the attaining of the 2% inflation target.
 
Due to the widespread pessimism in the market, the U.S. dollar index (DXY) rose to 106.50 after a sideways movement. In today’s market (October 3), the latest U.S. dollar index rose to 107.09. Meanwhile, the U.S. 30-year treasury yield ascended to 4.815%, the highest level since 2010.

The overall picture of the crypto market was discouraging as well. For example, Bitcoin fell rapidly after rising to a maximum of $28,580 yesterday and is now close to the starting point of yesterday's rise.
 
To combat inflation, the Fed has lifted interest rates 11 times since March 2022, raising the interest rate from a level that is nearing zero to 5.25%-5.5%. The  ISM manufacturing industry has shown an unexpected PMI recently, which will give another reason for the Fed to continue to keep up the interest rate. Although the Fed's high interest rate policy exhibits decreased edge effect on the crypto market, we will keep watching the development of the U.S. economy and researching the impact of interest rate policy on the global economy and crypto market in order to better adapt to the changes.
