Infini View | The Powell Effect: How Spot ETFs Pulled Crypto into the Macro Arena

Over the past decade, the pulse of the crypto asset market was driven mainly by events within its own ecosystem. A major Ethereum upgrade, a DeFi protocol innovation, or even a single tweet by a key industry KOL such as Vitalik Buterin could trigger violent swings. This was the age of the “Vitalik Effect,” when pricing was anchored to technology narratives, project milestones, and community sentiment. But this “old paradigm” is fading fast. Today, attention has shifted toward Washington—every speech by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, every CPI or NFP release carries unprecedented influence that eclipses crypto-native news. This shift—the rise of the “Powell Effect”—is the defining feature of the new paradigm: global macro liquidity is now the dominant force behind crypto pricing.

Infini View | Opportunities and Challenges of Integrating Crypto and Private Equity into U.S. 401(k) Portfolios

In the United States, the pension system is built upon three main pillars: Social Security, employer-sponsored retirement plans, and voluntary personal savings. Among these, the employer-sponsored 401(k) plan—formally launched in 1981—has gradually become the most important retirement savings vehicle for U.S. households. Unlike traditional “defined benefit” pensions, the 401(k) follows a “defined contribution” model: employees and employers contribute according to a set ratio, employees choose their own investments, and both returns and risks are borne by the employee.

Infini View | The Evolving Role of the Next-Gen CFO: From Controller to Strategic Growth Engine

As enterprises undergo digital transformation, grapple with increasingly complex international settlements, face growing cash flow pressures, and navigate an uncertain macroeconomic environment, the boundaries and functions of the CFO are undergoing profound change. Traditionally regarded as the custodian of financial statements, compliance, and cost control, today’s CFOs are being redefined as co-architects of strategic growth.

Infini View | On-Chain Payments and Interest-Bearing Stablecoins: Balancing Innovation and Compliance

Stablecoins have become a crucial medium for on-chain payments in recent years, playing a key role in transaction settlement and value storage. With shifts in the crypto market’s interest rate environment, users have developed a strong demand for stablecoins to “earn interest” (i.e. earning interest or returns simply by holding them). However, regulators want stablecoins to behave more like safe payment tools, rather than unregulated high-yield deposits. This contradiction between a strong market demand and compliance requirements is becoming a core issue in stablecoin development.

Infini View | Why SCALE Matters: Building Enterprise Crypto Finance for the Stablecoin Era

The past quarter has made one thing clear: stablecoins are no longer fringe. From Mastercard and Fiserv to Paxos and PayPal, legacy financial giants are going all-in on stablecoins. Why? Because $27.6 trillion in stablecoin transaction volume last year—surpassing Visa and Mastercard combined—wasn’t a fluke. It was a warning shot.At Infini, we’ve spent years preparing for this shift. But building enterprise-grade crypto infrastructure is not about hype—it’s about principles. That’s why we follow SCALE:

Infini View | From Wild West to Regulated Era: Unpacking America's STABLE Act

Once upon a time, the stablecoin market resembled the "Wild West," growing unchecked with little regulation. But this scenario is undergoing a seismic shift: the U.S. Congress has introduced the Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy Act of 2025 (referred to as the *STABLE Act*). This legislation aims to impose strict regulations on stablecoins—requiring issuers to obtain licenses, maintain full reserves, refrain from paying interest, and disclose information regularly. A regulatory storm is brewing around stablecoins. How will it reshape this multi-billion-dollar market?
