The Russian Central Bank Acknowledges the Role of Bitcoin Mining in the Stability of the Ruble
BlockBeats News, December 23rd, according to financefeeds reports, the Central Bank of Russia has made a significant reversal in its traditional hardline stance on digital assets, officially acknowledging the country's thriving Bitcoin mining industry has provided stability to the Ruble. Governor Elvira Nabiullina made the above comments in a recent interview with the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) media, noting that the value inflows from mining operations have become a supportive factor for the national currency exchange rate. This acknowledgment marks a pragmatic shift for this institution that has long advocated for a complete ban on cryptocurrency. While Nabiullina acknowledges that due to a substantial part of the industry operating in a legal gray area, precise quantification of the impact remains challenging, she views the mining industry as a tangible macroeconomic variable. This development comes as the country seeks alternative financial channels to bypass international sanctions and manage liquidity after experiencing extreme economic pressures.

Deutsche Bank: After the three major central banks hiked rates simultaneously, the market may once again underestimate the terminal interest rate
Deutsche Bank points out that as central banks in the US, Europe, and Japan are tightening policy simultaneously, the market may still be underpricing the eventual terminal rates. With oil prices remaining high, inflation may spill over into core inflation and wages. Moreover, financial conditions have not tightened in tandem, which could weaken the effect of rate hikes. Citing the experience of 2022, Deutsche Bank notes that the market then expected a total of around 200 basis points of Fed rate hikes in the first year, but the final figure exceeded 400 basis points, illustrating that the market often underestimates the terminal rate.
