According to journalist Eleanor Terrett, Democratic lawmakers will use the meeting to review unresolved issues that previously stalled the bill. Think of it as a game of regulatory Tetris: fit the pieces together before the whole thing collapses into a rug of buzzwords and paper trails.

In the shadow of the digital abyss, Tether, that titan of stablecoins, has scaled back its ambitions. Once, it dared to envision a $500 billion valuation-a dream as grand as a poet’s sigh. Yet investors, those fickle creatures, recoiled, and so Tether now settles for a mere $5 billion. What a comedown!
In a letter to the committee, Democrats demanded that “any nomination proceedings for Mr. Warsh” be put on ice until the investigations are fully wrapped up. They reckon it’s unfair and politically perilous to swap Powell mid-crisis, like replacing a pair of shoes in the middle of a marathon.
Savvy traders, much like the most discerning of hostesses, employ a variety of tools to analyze markets. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), a creation of mechanical engineer and technical analyst J. Welles Wilder Jr., stands among the most popular, sniffing out trend strength and momentum extremes with the precision of a well-trained hound.
The crypto markets, ever the barometer of collective hysteria, responded with a sigh of relief so profound it might have been mistaken for a yodel. Bitcoin, that digital darling of the financially fickle, experienced a modest resurgence, as though the mere act of Trump’s quill meeting parchment had restored order to the universe.
In January 2026, the crypto market faced a downturn, but signs of recovery emerged by February. Because nothing says “resilience” like a bunch of people nervously high-fiving over a spreadsheet. Despite broader challenges, Avalanche showed resilience, excelling in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. Because who doesn’t want to tokenize a toaster?
In a move that’s about as surprising as finding a towel in a hitchhiker’s backpack, South Korean neobank KBank is going full-on digital asset mode just as it gears up to go public. Trademark filings-those thrilling documents everyone pretends to understand-suggest they’re launching stablecoin wallet services. Why? Because the world is tilting towards crypto, and KBank doesn’t want to be left holding the wrong end of the stick (or the blockchain).
But this statue, affectionately dubbed “Don Colossus,” is not merely a tribute to a man with 34 felony counts (and counting). It is, as the New York Times delicately puts it, the centerpiece of a crypto venture so bizarre it could make a Broadway farce weep. Expect legal tussles, financial whiplash, and alliances forged in the fires of desperation.
Data, that cold and unflinching arbiter of truth, revealed Bitcoin’s plight in stark terms: a 4% tumble in 24 hours, a 15% plunge over seven days. Yet, Bitcoin was not alone in its misery. Ethereum, that other enfant terrible of the crypto world, shed 25% of its value, while XRP followed suit with a 17% decline. The sell-off, it seemed, was a communal affair, a tragic ballet performed by assets once hailed as the future of wealth.
