Odaily Planet Daily reports that Wall Street is concerned that escalating conflict in the Middle East could lead to a surge in international oil prices, potentially reigniting inflation in the United States and prompting the Federal Reserve to pause interest rate cuts or even raise rates. Bank of America stated that whether the Fed will raise interest rates this year has become a recurring question among its clients. The bank's response is that while the possibility cannot be completely ruled out, the Fed must meet certain conditions to raise rates, including a stable labor market, further inflation, and Jerome Powell remaining as Fed Chairman. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, Wall Street traders expect a greater than 30% probability of a rate hike by the end of the year, while the probability of a rate cut is only 6.1%. (Cailian Press)

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Elon Musk's xAI is sending engineers directly into the offices of potential corporate clients to poach customers from OpenAI and Anthropic PBC. This hands-on strategy helped xAI win business from payment company Shift4 Payments. Shift4 CEO Taylor Lauber stated that the company plans to gradually phase out OpenAI's ChatGPT and switch to xAI's Grok, but will continue to use Anthropic's Claude for code development. However, Shift4 is not simply a market-driven client-winning venture. Its founder, Jared Isaacman, an ally of Musk, completed the world's first commercial spacewalk aboard a SpaceX spacecraft and currently serves as NASA Administrator. SpaceX's Starlink is also a Shift4 client. In the three years since xAI's founding, its clients have primarily consisted of Musk's affiliated companies such as Tesla and SpaceX, as well as government agencies. Bloomberg points out that xAI's on-site deployment strategy reflects a general trend in the AI industry: OpenAI and Anthropic are also actively sending engineers to assist customers with deployments, and OpenAI is also partnering with private equity firms to establish a dedicated "deployment department."

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Electric Capital analyzed 501 real-world yield assets and cross-referenced them with tokenized assets currently showing significant on-chain activity. The report shows that only 34 yield assets have an on-chain size exceeding $50 million, primarily concentrated in US Treasury bonds, private credit, corporate bonds, and non-US sovereign bonds. The remaining 93% of yield sources are still hampered by seven types of obstacles, covering legal structures, asset-backed securities challenges, and real-world integration difficulties with commodity and computing infrastructure. The research indicates that distribution is a major bottleneck: of the 35 non-stablecoin on-chain yield assets, only two have more than 2,000 holders. This is partly due to design restrictions, such as BlackRock's BUIDL requiring a minimum investment of $5 million, but the data shows that most tokenized assets still rely on a small number of large deployers and treasury managers. The top ten holders of BUIDL control 98% of the supply, mostly from other protocols. Electric Capital believes five key factors will drive more assets onto the blockchain in the future: the growth in stablecoin size and diversification of yield preferences; product competition between protocols; the absorption of duration risk by treasury infrastructure; tiered mechanisms to expand the buyer base; and leveraged cycles to amplify demand for collateralized assets. Meanwhile, spending on AI infrastructure (Goldman Sachs predicts it will exceed $500 billion by 2026) could be a catalyst, including the on-chain financing potential for GPU leasing, data center construction, and energy contracts.
