The addition of a mere 22,000 jobs last month was neither too hot nor too cool.This will pave the way for the Fed to initiate a rate cut in its next FOMC meeting scheduled on Sept. 16-17. At the same time, the chance of a near-term recession will not arise. The CME FedWatch interest rate derivative tool currently shows a 100% probability of 25% cut in the benchmark lending rate.A low-interest rate regime will be beneficial for high-growth sectors like technology, consumer discretionary and cryptocurrency. At this stage, it will be prudent to invest in crypto-centric stocks with a favorable Zacks Rank.Five such stocks are: Robinhood Markets Inc., Interactive Brokers Group Inc.,NVIDIA Corp., Cipher Mining Inc. and Riot Platforms Inc..Regulatory TailwindsOn July 18, President Donald Trump signed the GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins) seeking to regulate the stablecoin market of the nation. Stablecoins are digital assets that are built to maintain a stable value relative to a "stable" asset like the US dollar. Giant retailers such as Walmart and Amazon are considering launching their own stablecoins to reduce dependence on traditional payment networks like plastic money.Two major cryptocurrency-related regulations still pending are The CLARITY Act and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. The CLARITY Act aims to define when crypto is a commodity or a security.The CLARITY Act would establish a regulatory framework for digital assets other than stablecoins. This will allow crypto exchanges to register with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission thereby reducing the Securities and Exchange Commission's regulation of digital currencies.The Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act aims to prevent the Federal Reserve from issuing a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) directly to individuals or indirectly through intermediaries. The bill also prohibits the Federal Reserve from developing or issuing a CBDC without explicit authorization from Congress.Robinhood Markets Inc.Robinhood Markets operates a financial services platform in the United States.
