According to Odaily, FOX Business journalist Eleanor Terrett reported on X that with only a few days remaining until the presidential inauguration, the transition team is set to inform regulatory agencies about leadership preferences during the Senate confirmation process for Trump's nominees. At the SEC, the two Republican commissioners are Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda. Trump is expected to choose one of them to lead the agency until Paul Atkins is confirmed. At the CFTC, the current Republican commissioners are Summer Mersinger and Caroline Pham. Trump has not yet nominated a candidate for CFTC chair. Either Pham or Mersinger will assume the role on January 20, serving until Trump appoints a permanent chair who is confirmed by the Senate, or decides to make the acting chair permanent. During his first term, Trump appointed Republican commissioner Chris Giancarlo as acting chair in January 2017 and announced his intention to make him permanent in March. Giancarlo was officially confirmed by the Senate in August. Whoever Trump appoints as acting CFTC chair could potentially become the permanent chair. Trump may also consider appointing an outsider later this year.#Trump #TransitionTeam #RegulatoryLeadership #SEC #CFTC #Nominations #SenateConfirmation #RepublicanCommissioners

According to Odaily, Geoffrey Kendrick, Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered Bank, has highlighted the macroeconomic risks currently affecting Bitcoin. He noted that any decline below $90,000 represents a 'mid-term' buying opportunity. In a research report dated January 14, Kendrick emphasized the value of strategic accumulation during ongoing market volatility. He suggested that a drop below key support levels could offer a favorable entry point, as the bank's long-term outlook for Bitcoin remains unchanged. Kendrick stated, 'If we do break below (potentially falling further to below $80,000), I would view it as an excellent mid-term buying opportunity.' Despite short-term risks, Standard Chartered Bank maintains its long-term price target of $200,000 for Bitcoin by the end of 2025, reaffirming previous forecasts. This prediction is supported by expectations of strong institutional inflows and favorable economic policies under the new U.S. administration. Meanwhile, the bank advises investors to adopt a cautious approach in the short term while monitoring strategic buying opportunities.#Bitcoin #MacroRisks #BuyingOpportunity #MidTermInvesting #MarketVolatility #LongTermOutlook #StrategicAccumulation #InvestmentStrategy #InstitutionalInflows #EconomicPolicies #BTC

🚀 South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol Arrested Amid Controversy
#SouthKorea #YoonSukYeol #arrest #martiallaw #impeachment #politicalturmoil #CorruptionInvestigationOffice #YonhapNews #controversy
According to Cointelegraph, South Korean authorities have arrested the country's impeached president, Yoon Suk Yeol, marking a significant event as he becomes the first president in years to be taken into custody. The arrest took place on January 15, following a controversial martial law ruling that Yoon had declared the previous month. Reports from South Korea's Yonhap News Agency indicate that Yoon was taken from his residence for questioning regarding this decree.
The arrest was carried out by South Korea's Corruption Investigation Office after a warrant was executed at 10:33 am local time. This development follows a series of events that began with Yoon's declaration of martial law on December 3. The South Korean legislature swiftly responded by overriding the decree approximately six hours after it was announced. Subsequently, Yoon faced impeachment on December 14, just 11 days after the decree.
This situation is evolving, and more details are expected to emerge as the investigation continues. The arrest of a sitting president is a rare occurrence in South Korea, highlighting the gravity of the allegations and the political turmoil surrounding Yoon's administration. The implications of this arrest are yet to be fully understood, and the nation awaits further updates on the proceedings.#SouthKorea #YoonSukYeol #arrest #martiallaw #impeachment #politicalturmoil #CorruptionInvestigationOffice #YonhapNews #controversy
