On September 18th, arguably the biggest surprise in the Federal Reserves latest interest rate decision was the single dissenting vote. Despite unfavorable circumstances, Fed Chairman Powell managed to achieve a near-unanimous consensus at this weeks monetary policy meeting. Newly appointed Governor Milan was the only vote against the 25 basis point rate cut. Milan, a close ally of Trump, was sworn in as an interim Fed governor on Tuesday. His objection was based on support for a larger rate cut—something Trump has been demanding for months. However, Governors Waller and Bowman, who had voiced dovish dissent in July, did not do so again this time. KPMG Chief Economist Diane Swonk said, "Its clear that Powell has successfully herded the cats together."Meghan Robson, head of U.S. credit strategy at BNP Paribas: "Todays Fed decision suggests the Fed will prioritize growth over inflation and may allow the economy to "overheat" until the inflation path becomes clearer. We believe this policy approach should currently support credit spreads."Syrian President: Security agreement with Israel is a "necessary move" and Syrias airspace and territorial integrity should be respected.Syrian president: Security talks with Israel may produce results in the "coming days."Scott Kimball, chief investment officer of the fixed income team at Loop Asset Management: "The Feds 12-month inflation forecast is 2.6%, which shows that it is more tolerant of inflation and may no longer be its primary focus. Implementing a looser policy on the basis of fiscal stimulus should support lower-quality corporate credit spreads."

Binance.US Adds Terra UST Stablecoin As Base Pair for Cryptocurrencies

Binance. Today, the United States formally designated UST as the Bitcoin base trading pair.


Since the release of the $10 billion Bitcoin reserve, everyone has been talking about the stablecoin.


LUNA is once again on the verge of setting a new all-time high.


Terra, LUNA, and UST have been attracting a lot of interest from investors, developers, analysts, and traders in the crypto sector for a time now.


The bullish storm that the DeFi chain has sparked isn't going to let up anytime soon. Especially in light of today's events.

UST Is Now A Base Pair

Because UST is a base pair, other cryptocurrencies will be able to trade against it in the same way they can with USD, if the option is available.


Binance disclosed this development earlier this month, along with the delisting of the UST/BTC trading pair and the cancellation of all existing trade orders. UST is currently only available as a Bitcoin base pair.


Binance isn't the first to do so; in fact, OKX, one of the top 20 cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, introduced UST as a base pair for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche earlier this month.


TerraUSD has garnered traction in the market as a result of its CEO Do Kwon's announcement that he intends to create a $10 billion+ UST reserve in Bitcoin.


At its current value, $10 billion in Bitcoin corresponds to roughly 253183.79 BTC, making Terra the largest Bitcoin holder at the time, surpassing MicroStrategy's current holdings of around 129,218 BTC.

At The Moment, LUNA

Terra's native cryptocurrency, LUNA, is presently the year's best-performing asset, with gains of 142.22 percent from February to April and a new all-time high of $119.5 at the same time.


Although LUNA is now trading at $93.5, it is on its approach to gradually exceeding the $120 mark, owing to the 23.5 percent rise seen three days ago.
