BlockBeats News, August 21st. The Federal Reserve released its latest meeting minutes early today. Regarding the inflation outlook, participants generally expect inflation to rise in the short term. They believe that there is still significant uncertainty about the timing, magnitude, and sustainability of the impact of tariff increases this year. The downward revision of nonfarm data has intensified Fed officials' concerns about economic slowdown, with "several participants stating that they expect economic activity growth to remain subdued in the second half of this year."

Of note, this edition of the Fed meeting minutes mentioned "stablecoins" eight times, with many participants discussing recent and future developments related to payment stablecoins and their potential impact on the financial system. These participants pointed out that with the recent passage of the "GENIUS Act" ("United States Stablecoin Guidance and National Innovation Act"), the use of payment stablecoins may increase.

Nick Timiraos, a Wall Street Journal reporter known as the "Fed Whisperer," stated that Fed meeting minutes usually do not reveal much new content, but they reinforce already public information: first, based on Powell's press conference, the overall sentiment of the committee at the July meeting was more hawkish (at least compared to the market); second, the reliance on data and forecasts is evident, with more officials showing openness to a rate cut in September following the August 1st jobs report.
