JPMorgan recently stated in a research report that although the Ethereum blockchain is constantly being upgraded, its activity has not significantly increased. The bank pointed out that since the Dencun upgrade in March 2024, average fees and total fees have decreased, and the daily transaction volume and active address count have not shown substantial growth. In addition, the futures position data indicates that institutions have played an important role in the recent rise of ETH. Ethereum launched the Pectra upgrade on May 7th, which aims to simplify the staking process, enhance wallet functionality, and improve overall efficiency.

The Bank of Japan is reportedly planning further interest rate hikes; some officials believe the neutral interest rate will be higher than 1%.
according to insiders, Bank of Japan officials believe that before the current rate hike cycle ends, interest rates are likely to rise above 0.75%, indicating that there may be more rate hikes after next week's increase. These insiders said that officials believe that even if rates rise to 0.75%, the Bank of Japan has not yet reached the neutral interest rate level. Some officials already consider 1% to still be below the neutral interest rate level. Insiders stated that even if the Bank of Japan updates its neutral rate estimates based on the latest data, it currently does not believe that this range will significantly narrow. Currently, the Bank of Japan's estimate for the nominal neutral interest rate range is about 1% to 2.5%. Insiders said that Bank of Japan officials also believe there may be errors in the upper and lower limits of this range itself. (Golden Ten) -
