Binance CEO: The working group is working hard to rescue Tigran Gambaryan, whose health is worrying
Odaily Planet Daily News Binance CEO Richard Teng said his team has been working day and night to bring Tigran Gambaryan, an executive arrested in Nigeria, back to the United States because his health is deteriorating. We have repeatedly called on the Nigerian government to release Tigran so that he can go home and get the proper treatment he needs.
“There is no need to detain our employee. He has been detained unjustly and unfairly,” Teng said at the TOKEN 2049 conference in Singapore on September 19.
“This is painful for all of us,” he said, “especially for his family. For Binance, this is our top priority. We have a task force working around the clock internally to find different avenues from legal to political (to help Tigran return home).”
Teng hopes the U.S. can designate Gambaryan as illegally detained to expedite the process. He added that Binance is also trying to appeal to the Nigerian government to release Tigran on humanitarian grounds.
He also claimed that Gambaryan had contracted malaria and pneumonia twice since being held in Nigeria. His deteriorating health even caused him to suddenly faint during a court appearance in May. (Cointelegraph)

Fed Chairman Powell: The Fed will speed up, slow down or pause rate cuts as needed
Odaily Planet Daily News: Fed Chairman Powell said at a press conference that there is no sign in the forecast that the Fed is rushing. If appropriate, the Fed can speed up or slow down, or even pause rate cuts. If the economy remains solid, we can slow down the pace of rate cuts. Similarly, if the labor market deteriorates, we can respond. Our forecasts are not plans or decisions, and we will adjust policies as needed. Taking all the risks into consideration, we cut interest rates by 50 basis points today. This adjustment will help maintain the strength of the economy and the labor market. Powell also said that if the Fed sees the non-farm payrolls report released a few days after the July resolution in advance, it may cut interest rates for the first time at the July interest rate meeting. The July non-farm payrolls report in the United States showed a weak labor market in the United States. Powell pointed out that the Federal Reserve remains firmly focused on its dual mission goals. The U.S. economy is generally strong, and the labor market has cooled from its previous overheated state. Our decision today reflects increasing confidence that the strength of the labor market can continue, and the Federal Reserve is committed to maintaining a strong economy. The unemployment rate has risen, but it is still low. The labor market environment continues to cool, the labor market is not a source of high inflationary pressure, and the downside risks to employment have increased.
ECBs Centeno: ECB may have to cut rates faster
Odaily Planet Daily News: In an interview with Politico, Portuguese central bank governor and ECB board member Centeno said that the European Central Bank may have to speed up the pace of interest rate cuts because data released since last weeks rate cut showed that economic growth and inflation may be lower than the ECBs new forecasts.
“Given where we are right now, in the monetary policy cycle, we really have to minimize the risk of lower-than-expected rates because that’s the primary risk,” Centeno said. Centeno’s comments were the clearest sign yet that an October rate cut remains a possibility.
The European Central Bank is grappling with how quickly it should ease policy as the economy struggles to build momentum but also struggles to completely curb inflation. ECB President Christine Lagarde signaled last week that no further action would be taken before December as the ECB cut rates for the second time this year. Although ECB Chief Economist Ryan confirmed on Monday that policymakers should remain selective about cutting rates in October, hawks on the Governing Council stressed that a major shift would be needed to consider a succession of rate cuts.

BlackRock: Market volatility could rise after Fed cuts rate by 50 basis points
Odaily Planet Daily reported that BlackRock Investment Institute head Boyven said in a report that the US Federal Reserves decision to cut interest rates by 50 basis points may boost the market in the short term, but if US inflation and economic growth do not meet the Feds expectations, the risk of increased market volatility in the coming months will also increase.
Given the extremely uncertain outlook and the divergence of opinion ahead of the Feds regulatory period, the near-unanimous decision may be more surprising than one dissent. Data from LSEG Refinitiv showed that the market expects the Fed to cut interest rates by a further 71 basis points in 2024. We still believe that market expectations for rate cuts will ultimately be disappointed, and instead, positive news will come from resilient economic growth, said Boyven. (Jinshi)
Odaily Planet Daily News ByBit Institutional Director Chris Aruliah has a different view on the impact of rate cuts on the crypto market. Aruliah wrote in an emailed statement: The general slowdown in the global economy caused by weaker economic indicators and geopolitical complexities is weakening investor sentiment. Therefore, while the Feds 0.5% cut in policy rates may boost the cryptocurrency market in the short term, it is critical to remain vigilant to the potential challenges posed by economic uncertainty and market volatility.
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes pointed out in an interview that he believes that an overall interest rate cut is unnecessary. A 50 basis point rate cut will trigger a short-term market rebound, but will ultimately expose deeper problems in the global financial system, leading to further price declines.
He said: At a high level, I dont think they should raise interest rates. I believe the U.S. economy is quite strong. If you look at the GDP data for the past eight or nine quarters, you will find that it has been growing continuously. If they decide to continue to cut interest rates, inflation will accelerate into the fourth quarter. (CoinDesk)
