Odaily Planet Daily reports that researchers at the Federal Reserve have published a new paper highly praising the role of forecasting markets in economic analysis, specifically highlighting the performance of the forecasting platform Kalshi. The report points out that Kalshi's forecasts of the federal funds rate and the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) statistically outperform federal funds futures and professional economist forecasts, providing continuously updated complete probability distributions rather than traditional discontinuous point forecasts. The study also argues that forecasting markets provide unique market-based distribution data in areas such as GDP growth, core inflation, unemployment rate, and non-farm payrolls, variables for which comparable market pricing tools were previously lacking. Since 2022, Kalshi's forecasts of federal funds rate meetings have been perfectly consistent with actual results. The report notes that a major advantage of forecasting markets lies in the participation of retail investors, distinguishing them from traditional institutionally dominated financial markets and giving them unique value in information integration and real-time reflection of market expectations.

At the World Liberty Financial forum in Mar-a-Lago, Eric Trump reiterated his optimistic outlook on Bitcoin's long-term price, stating that Bitcoin "will eventually reach $1 million" and that he has "never been more bullish on cryptocurrency." In an interview with CNBC, Trump pointed out that Bitcoin has seen an average annual growth of about 70% over the past decade, calling it "one of the best-performing asset classes of the last ten years." He stated that while price volatility exists, it is the price that must be paid for high-growth assets. Currently, Bitcoin's price is hovering around $67,000, a significant drop from its high of $126,000 reached in October 2025. Trump had previously predicted that Bitcoin would reach $175,000 by the end of 2025, with a long-term target of $1 million. This statement comes as the Trump family deepens its involvement in the crypto space, with World Liberty Financial considered one of its core crypto projects.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that the White House held its third closed-door meeting on Thursday, inviting representatives from the crypto industry and banking groups to discuss stablecoin reward mechanisms. The meeting lasted several hours and was described by participants as a "constructive dialogue," but no final compromise was reached. Ji Hun Kim, CEO of the Crypto Council for Innovation, stated that the meeting further advanced the framework based on previous discussions, aiming to enhance U.S. competitiveness while protecting consumers. Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal also described the discussions as "cooperative and constructive," hinting that further negotiations would continue. Stablecoin holding rewards mechanisms are a key point of contention in current crypto market structure legislation. Sources revealed that the White House proposed some principles allowing companies to offer rewards based on specific activities or account balances, but banks remain cautious. Whether a next round of meetings will be held is yet to be determined. Participating organizations included Ripple, the Blockchain Association, the Crypto Council for Innovation, and several major banking associations.
