ZachXBT: UK's Sanctions on HTX Are Overreach, Exacerbating On-Chain Address Contamination
on-chain detective ZachXBT stated on platform X that the UK's recent inclusion of HTX in crypto sanctions lists constitutes overregulation.ZachXBT pointed out that, compared to previously sanctioned entities such as Huione, Blender, and Hydra, HTX has a large number of retail users in Asia. Placing HTX on the sanctions list has linked numerous legitimate on-chain addresses to the sanctions regime, worsening the issue of address contamination and gradually rendering the "risk" tag itself meaningless. He noted that while tracking on-chain cases, he has already been forced to ignore tags related to the sanctions category.Furthermore, ZachXBT also criticized UK regulators for failing to uncover a money laundering case involving $1.25 billion, arguing that this aligns with long-standing issues in how the UK handles crypto-related cases.
HTX DeepThink: The divergence between core PCE and CPI widens, presenting headwinds for the crypto market—but also harboring structural opportunities.
Chloe (@ChloeTalk1), a columnist for HTX DeepThink and researcher at HTX Research, analyzed that the current crypto market is operating within a more complex macroeconomic pricing environment. The divergence between the U.S.’s two core inflation indicators is widening: core PCE has risen to 3.3%, while core CPI stands at 2.8%. On the surface, inflation does not appear to be spiraling upward uncontrollably; however, the PCE measure—preferred by the Federal Reserve—remains notably above the central bank’s 2% policy target, thereby eroding market bets on interest-rate cuts.

The Most Crypto-Savvy Fed Chair Arrives: Huobi HTX Invites Multiple KOLs to Discuss the Interplay Between the Federal Reserve and the Crypto Market

HTX DeepThink: The Warsh Era Begins—Era of Comprehensive Monetary Easing May Be Over, Crypto Market Faces a Paradigm Shift in Liquidity
Chloe (@ChloeTalk1), a columnist for HTX DeepThink and researcher at HTX Research, analyzed that Kevin Warsh’s formal confirmation as Federal Reserve Chair on May 14—by an extremely narrow Senate vote—marks the completion of the most contentious leadership transition at the Fed in decades. Global risk assets, especially the crypto market, are now entering a new phase characterized by “high volatility + high uncertainty.” The biggest current market contradiction lies in the head-on clash between “political pressure for rate cuts” and “real-world inflationary pressures.” Trump continues to demand rapid rate cuts to stabilize the financial environment ahead of the midterm elections. Yet the latest U.S. PPI year-on-year reading stands at 6%, with core PPI at 5.2%—both significantly exceeding market expectations—indicating that energy price increases driven by the Iran war have begun spreading across broader goods and services. Warsh’s stance proves more complex than market expectations. Though viewed by the Trump camp as a candidate “more willing to cut rates,” his long-standing intellectual framework is fundamentally hawkish: he has repeatedly criticized the Fed for excessive market intervention and long opposed unlimited balance-sheet expansion. What he truly advocates is not traditional large-scale monetary easing, but rather a “low-interest-rate environment without QE”: shrinking the balance sheet, reducing market intervention, and simultaneously curbing inflation via AI-driven productivity gains and regulatory relaxation. This implies that the future U.S. dollar liquidity environment will likely differ sharply from the era of unlimited QE seen in 2020–2021.

HTX DeepThink: Rate Cut Expectations Delayed to Post-September, Cryptocurrency Market Structure Divergence Intensifies
Chloe (@ChloeTalk1), a columnist for HTX DeepThink and researcher at HTX Research, analyzes that the current macro framework for the crypto market has shifted from “liquidity trades awaiting rate cuts” to a constraining environment characterized by “higher-for-longer interest rates + sticky inflation + war-related shocks.” According to the latest Reuters survey, most economists have pushed back their expectations for rate cuts to after September, with nearly one-third believing no cuts will occur this year. The primary reason is that the Middle East conflict has driven up energy prices, pushing inflation trajectories higher once again and thereby constraining the Federal Reserve’s policy space. This shift directly undermines the two key narratives previously supporting crypto assets: expectations of liquidity easing and a declining interest-rate path. Elevated oil prices, coupled with consecutive upward revisions to PCE inflation expectations, increase the likelihood that interest rates will remain high—or even extend their elevated period—leading to a higher discount rate and shrinking risk budgets. As a result, marginal capital inflows into the crypto market are diminishing, and high-volatility assets broadly face mounting pressure.
