    Federal Reserve Chair Candidate Not Necessarily an Either/Or Situation? Warlick to Accept Interview
    BlockBeats News, December 17th: According to the WSJ report, sources familiar with the matter revealed that Trump will interview current Federal Reserve Board Governor Waller on Wednesday local time regarding the Fed Chair candidacy. Trump interviewed former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh last week. Trump stated that Warsh and Hassett are currently his two favorite candidates. Waller has emerged as a key voice within the Fed advocating for rate cuts this year. At the Fed meeting in July where rates were held steady, Waller dissented and favored a rate cut. Waller is a favored candidate for Fed Chair among economists, well-regarded on Wall Street for his logically clear and consistent arguments in support of rate cuts this year, seen as capable of bridging the Fed's growing internal divisions. Several of his arguments for rate cuts have been adopted by current Chair Powell. Waller is scheduled to speak on the economic outlook on Wednesday night 东八区. (FX168)

    US Senator Warren calls for investigation into Trump-related DeFi projects, crypto market structure bill delayed again
    Jinse Finance reported that Elizabeth Warren, a senior Democratic member of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, has called for a national security investigation into certain DeFi platforms, with a focus on their potential connections to Trump’s business interests. In a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Besant and Attorney General Pam Bondi, Warren specifically named PancakeSwap, stating that it may amplify tokens issued by World Liberty Financial Inc., which is related to Trump, and requested a review to determine whether there is any “improper political influence.” This move comes as the U.S. Senate continues to debate legislation on crypto market structure. Warren criticized DeFi platforms for their large daily trading volumes yet lack of identity verification, noting that regulatory disagreements have become a key “red line” for whether the bill can gain industry support. Due to significant differences between Democrats and Republicans on DeFi regulation and conflicts of interest among officials, the bill has been postponed for further review until January next year, and still faces the risk of further delays due to ongoing budget negotiations.

    Trump to Deliver National Address: Responding to Declining Poll Numbers or Previewing New Year Policies
    Jinse Finance reported that Trump stated on social media that he will deliver a prime-time address to the nation at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday (10:00 a.m. Thursday, Beijing time). This speech comes at a critical moment as the first year of Trump’s return to the White House draws to a close, with his approval ratings declining and the economy facing headwinds. Over the past year, Trump has focused on reshaping the relationship between the U.S. economy and national security. He has imposed tariffs on trade partners and key industries, and has had intense disputes with allies over defense spending, immigration, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Domestically, he has continually tested the boundaries of executive power, pushed for a reorganization of the federal government, carried out large-scale deportations of undocumented immigrants, and tightened legal entry channels. This address provides Trump with a platform to highlight his achievements and outline his priorities for the coming year. The Republican Party will strive to maintain control of Congress in the midterm elections next November. Midterm elections typically result in the president’s party losing seats in Congress. The White House revealed that Trump will speak about his historic achievements, discuss future prospects, and may preview new policies for the coming year.
