PANews reported on December 11th that, according to Cailian Press, after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points as expected on Wednesday, Eastern Time, Chairman Powell delivered a speech. He stated that current interest rates are at a good level and can cope with changes in the economic outlook, but he did not provide guidance on whether there would be another rate cut in the near future. Powell pointed out, "It is worth noting that since last September, we have cumulatively cut interest rates by 175 basis points, including 75 basis points since this September. Currently, the federal funds rate is in a broad range of neutral levels, and we are in a favorable position to wait and see further developments in the economy." He added, "Monetary policy is not a fixed path set in advance; we will make decisions step by step based on the situation at each meeting." Notably, after Powell stated that no one currently considers a rate hike as a basic expectation, the three major US stock indexes began to rebound sharply. Analysts pointed out that Powell's speech undoubtedly relieved traders, who rushed to buy stocks. The optimism stemmed from the market's belief that the Fed would not consider raising interest rates, but rather focus on future easing policies, even if such easing may not materialize in the near future.PANews reported on December 11th that, according to Cailian Press, after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points as expected on Wednesday, Eastern Time, Chairman Powell delivered a speech.

Powell: The Fed has shifted to a wait-and-see approach; rate hikes are not currently the base case.

Mono Protocol Raises $2M in Private Round and Opens Whitelist: Here’s How Its Unified Balances and Universal Accounts Will Reshape Web3

The post Mono Protocol Raises $2M in Private Round and Opens Whitelist: Here’s How Its Unified Balances and Universal Accounts Will Reshape Web3 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The way people use blockchain today often feels complicated. Balances are scattered across different networks, bridging takes time and money, and users constantly switch wallets and chains to complete simple actions. Mono Protocol is building a new foundation for Web3 that unifies these experiences. With unified balances, instant settlement, and universal accounts, it aims to make blockchain interactions feel seamless.  The project has raised $2M in a Private Round and is now running whitelist registration ahead of the presale. Mono Protocol: Solving Web3’s Biggest Problem With a Unified Design Today’s blockchain space struggles with fragmentation. Users maintain balances across several chains, bridges are slow and expensive, and front-running risks cause value loss. Developers face the added challenge of building infrastructure for multiple networks, making the experience complex on both sides. Mono Protocol addresses these issues with chain abstraction technology. By unifying per-token balances, it allows users to hold and use assets from any supported blockchain in one place. Transactions are protected with MEV-resistant routing, ensuring value is preserved during execution.  Liquidity Lock technology guarantees that transactions cannot fail, which is a major step forward compared to traditional cross-chain systems. This combination creates a new standard for blockchain interaction. Developers gain access to simple APIs to build cross-chain applications without handling infrastructure overhead, while users enjoy one-click transactions across multiple ecosystems. It marks a shift from fragmented networks to a cohesive Web3 environment where complexity is invisible. One Balance, One Account, One Experience Mono Protocol introduces unified balances, instant settlement, and universal accounts that work across blockchains. This approach makes transactions simpler, faster, and free of the friction users often face today. Instead of managing assets on multiple networks, users interact with a single account and one balance. Liquidity Locks ensure transactions are guaranteed and completed instantly, while universal accounts remove…
