Hubbis Partners with Independent Reserve to Deliver Weekly Crypto News and Market Insights: Navigating Warsh Uncertainty, Fed Signals, and Bitcoin’s Cautious Rally
May 13, 2026 — Hubbis, a leading platform dedicated to private wealth management communities across Asia, has announced a strategic partnership with Independent Reserve, a major cryptocurrency exchange, to provide weekly updates on cryptocurrency news and market trends. This collaboration aims to keep investors and wealth managers informed on the evolving landscape of digital assets amid significant monetary policy developments and market movements.
Monetary Policy Under the Spotlight with Kevin Warsh
The partnership launch comes at a pivotal moment as Kevin Warsh is set to take on the role of Federal Reserve chairman. Markets are closely monitoring the anticipated shifts in U.S. monetary policy under his leadership. Recently, three members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) indicated openness to a rate hike, signaling potential tightening measures ahead.
Contrasting statements from political and financial leaders have added to the uncertainty. While President Trump has expressed expectations that Warsh would opt for interest rate cuts, Warsh himself has refrained from committing to any specific policy stance. This ambiguity, combined with Warsh’s historically hawkish approach and his favorable views on cryptocurrency—he notably referred to Bitcoin as “new gold” for younger investors—has put market participants on alert.
Bitcoin’s Tentative Uptrend Amid Mixed Signals
The digital currency market has reflected a cautiously optimistic tone recently. Bitcoin’s perpetual funding rates surged to a recent peak of 6%, marking a reversal from predominantly negative readings throughout much of April. This uptick indicates renewed leveraged buying interest as Bitcoin’s price has sustained levels above $80,000. However, not all indicators point to unwavering confidence. The options market exhibits a more guarded stance with a put-call skew steady at 10%. This unchanged level suggests that traders are still hedging against downside risks, signaling skepticism over whether the recent correction phase has definitively ended.
Reports from over-the-counter (OTC) trading desks highlight that much of the current activity involves profit-taking amid Bitcoin reaching local highs. Meanwhile, stablecoins continue to experience strong one-way inflows, underscoring ongoing demand for onramps into cryptocurrency markets.
Economic Events to Watch
Investors are also advised to keep an eye on key upcoming economic data releases that could influence market dynamics, including:
- May 12, 2026: US Core Inflation Rate YoY (Consensus: 2.7%)
- May 13, 2026: US Producer Price Index (PPI) MoM (Consensus: 0.5%)
- May 14, 2026: United Kingdom GDP MoM (Consensus: -0.2%)
- May 14, 2026: US Retail Sales MoM (Consensus: 0.5%)
- May 18, 2026: China Industrial Production YoY & Retail Sales YoY
These data points are expected to shape sentiment and potential policy responses, adding further layers of complexity to the markets.
