According to the Federal Reserve's semi-annual report released on July 10, the U.S. economy in 2026 is maintaining a solid expansion, driven by high-tech investment and government spending. The report noted that investment in AI-related data centers has strongly boosted manufacturing output and continues to expand production capacity. However, the housing market has stagnated, and the external economy shows sluggish growth due to the conflict in the Middle East and the impact of tariffs. The labor market is generally stable, with wages and productivity rising in tandem, but a slowdown in immigration has reduced the labor supply. Small businesses and households continue to face tight financing conditions. Inflation remains high, having risen further in the spring, and asset prices are above their historical averages. The financial system is generally sound with sufficient bank reserves, and the private credit market is functioning normally despite some redemption pressures. While long-term inflation expectations are anchored near the 2% target, the report identified uncertainty stemming from the war in Iran as the biggest remaining risk.

Standard Chartered has maintained its year-end price forecast of $100,000 for BTC, The Block reported. The bank stated that recent market weakness stemming from sales of BTC by Strategy (MSTR) is not due to financial health concerns but rather a lack of communication with the market about its strategic shift. Strategy has moved from its previous stance of never selling BTC to a policy that allows for sales when necessary to fund dividends for its preferred stock (STRC) and to increase its reserves. SC noted that if the price of STRC approaches its face value, the need for actual BTC sales would diminish. The bank views the issue as temporary noise rather than a signal that undermines the medium-to-long-term trend, diagnosing the current $64,000 price level as a strong buying zone.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reviewing more than 24 prediction market exchange-traded funds (ETFs) filed by Roundhill, Bitwise, and GraniteShares in February, Cryptoslate reported. The proposed ETFs are based on event contracts tied to a variety of outcomes, including the results of the 2028 U.S. presidential election and the 2026 House and Senate elections, as well as whether BTC will reach $100,000, ETH will surpass $3,500, or WTI crude oil will hit a target price. These event contracts are designed to settle at one dollar if the specified event occurs and $0 if it does not. The SEC has delayed its approval to conduct further reviews of the funds' structure, valuation, liquidity, settlement methods, and measures for investor disclosure and protection. Industry observers believe that approval would make these products available through standard brokerage accounts, significantly expanding access for retail investors and broadening the overall market.
