🚀 🔥 Banking GOP Bill Pulled, But Path Forward Remains 🔥
#Banking #GOP #Bill #SenateBankingCommittee #TokenizedSecurities #Coinbase #Legislation #Amendment #EthicsConcerns #WhiteHouse #BipartisanDeal #AgricultureCommittee #ClarityAct #FinancialServicesCommittee #Negotiations
Nearly 24 hours after the GOP-led markup on the Senate Banking Committee’s bill was pulled, industry insiders, lawmakers, and staffers are still processing the fallout—and many remain frustrated by the process, according to Eleanor Terrett (@EleanorTerrett).Sources tell Terrett that hope remains for the legislation if banks, Coinbase, and Democratic lawmakers can reach a deal on yield in the coming days. “All is not lost,” said one insider.The contentious tokenized securities provision, Section 505, now appears less of a roadblock. Tokenization firms suggest the language Coinbase objected to was taken out of context, while stakeholders—including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong—say a significant amendment or removal of the section is possible.Ethics concerns remain unchanged, and talks between the White House and Senate are ongoing.Questions also persist about whether the Banking Committee’s shifted markup will affect the Agriculture Committee’s timeline. Sources tell Terrett the order may not matter: if Agriculture secures a bipartisan deal, it could ease the Senate Banking process. This mirrors last summer’s House experience, when the Agriculture Committee passed its portion of the Clarity Act 47-6, encouraging the Financial Services Committee to move forward even with less Democratic support.As negotiations continue, both the industry and Congress are watching closely to see if a compromise emerges to revive the bill.#Banking #GOP #Bill #SenateBankingCommittee #TokenizedSecurities #Coinbase #Legislation #Amendment #EthicsConcerns #WhiteHouse #BipartisanDeal #AgricultureCommittee #ClarityAct #FinancialServicesCommittee #Negotiations
🚀 Japanese Central Bank May Consider Early Interest Rate Hike Amid Yen Depreciation
#JapaneseCentralBank #InterestRateHike #YenDepreciation #InflationPressure #BankOfJapan #EconomicRecovery #GlobalEconomicHeadwinds #JapanEconomy #InflationTarget #AprilRateHike
According to ChainCatcher, some policymakers at the Bank of Japan are contemplating an earlier-than-expected interest rate hike, potentially as soon as April, due to the ongoing depreciation of the yen which could exacerbate inflation pressures. The policymakers face the challenging task of increasing borrowing costs that have been low for years, amidst global economic headwinds, while Japan's economy is just beginning to recover from prolonged deflation.
The central bank raised rates to a thirty-year high in December and is expected to maintain them at the upcoming January meeting. However, insiders suggest that many policymakers see room for further hikes, with some not ruling out action in April, which would be earlier than the market's expectation of a rate increase in the latter half of the year. Sources indicate that if sufficient evidence emerges showing Japan can consistently achieve its 2% inflation target, some within the Bank of Japan may consider acting sooner.#JapaneseCentralBank #InterestRateHike #YenDepreciation #InflationPressure #BankOfJapan #EconomicRecovery #GlobalEconomicHeadwinds #JapanEconomy #InflationTarget #AprilRateHike
🚀 Utah Man Sentenced to Three Years for Cryptocurrency Fraud
#Utah #cryptocurrency #fraud #BrianGarrySewell #prison #investors #illegalbusiness #financiallosses #FBI #RockwellCapitalManagement #restitution #blockchain
According to BlockBeats, a Utah man has been sentenced to three years in federal prison for his involvement in a cryptocurrency-related fraud scheme. Brian Garry Sewell, 54, from Washington County, Utah, was convicted of operating an illegal cash-to-cryptocurrency business and defrauding investors of approximately $2.9 million. Following his guilty plea, Sewell received a 36-month prison sentence and will be subject to three years of supervised release after serving his term. The court also ordered him to pay over $3.8 million in restitution to compensate the affected investors and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Prosecutors revealed that between December 2017 and April 2024, Sewell deceived at least 17 investors by fabricating his experience, educational background, and ability to generate high returns. The head of the FBI's Salt Lake City office stated that Sewell's false promises resulted in significant financial losses for numerous individuals and families.
The investigation into the case began in 2020 and concluded after nearly five years. Prosecutors noted that Sewell's illegal cash-to-cryptocurrency operations, conducted through his controlled entity Rockwell Capital Management, transferred over $5.4 million, which became a crucial element in the subsequent criminal charges.#Utah #cryptocurrency #fraud #BrianGarrySewell #prison #investors #illegalbusiness #financiallosses #FBI #RockwellCapitalManagement #restitution #blockchain
🚀 West Virginia Senator Proposes Bill for State Investment in Digital Assets
#WestVirginia #ChrisRose #DigitalAssets #InflationProtectionAct #StateInvestment #PreciousMetals #Stablecoins #Bitcoin #CryptoAssets #BankingAndInsuranceCommittee #Legislation #BTC
According to ChainCatcher, West Virginia Senator Chris Rose has introduced a bill to the state legislature proposing amendments to the state code. The bill suggests allowing the State Treasury Board to invest up to 10% of its funds in precious metals, specific digital assets, and stablecoins.
The proposal, named the 'Inflation Protection Act,' would permit the state treasury to invest in precious metals, digital assets with a market capitalization exceeding $750 billion in the previous year (currently only Bitcoin meets this criterion), and stablecoins approved by U.S. federal or state regulators.
The bill stipulates that the acquired digital assets can be held by qualified custodians or managed through exchange-traded products and secure custody solutions. If passed, West Virginia would join Texas, Arizona, and New Hampshire in allowing state-level holdings of crypto assets. The bill is currently under review by the Banking and Insurance Committee.#WestVirginia #ChrisRose #DigitalAssets #InflationProtectionAct #StateInvestment #PreciousMetals #Stablecoins #Bitcoin #CryptoAssets #BankingAndInsuranceCommittee #Legislation #BTC

According to Odaily, ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood has emphasized Bitcoin's low correlation with major asset classes such as gold, stocks, and bonds in her 2026 outlook, suggesting it as a powerful tool for portfolio diversification and higher returns per unit of risk.
ARK's analysis of weekly returns from January 2020 to early January 2026 indicates that Bitcoin's correlation with gold is moderate at 0.14, significantly lower than the correlation between the S&P 500 and bonds, which stands at 0.27. Bitcoin shows the lowest correlation with bonds at 0.06, slightly higher with gold and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and the highest correlation with the S&P 500 at 0.28. Even at peak levels, Bitcoin's correlation remains far below that of traditional asset pairs, such as the S&P 500 and REITs, which have a correlation of 0.79.#Bitcoin #CathieWood #ARKInvest #PortfolioDiversification #AssetCorrelation #Investing #Crypto #FinancialAnalysis #Securities #Gold #Stocks #Bonds #REITs #BTC

According to ChainCatcher, the U.S. Department of Justice has initiated a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. This development has raised concerns among global central banks about the potential impact on the Federal Reserve's independence. The investigation not only affects the direction of U.S. monetary policy but also poses a direct threat to a critical tool in the global financial system—currency swap agreements. Analysts have pointed out that if the U.S. ties these swap agreements to geopolitical interests, the global capacity to respond to crises could face significant challenges.#USJusticeDepartment #FederalReserve #JeromePowell #MonetaryPolicy #CurrencySwapAgreements #GlobalFinancialSystem #GeopoliticalInterests #CentralBanks #FinancialCrises
