										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Trump backs CFTC control over prediction markets as a growing legal fight puts federal derivatives law against state gambling rules.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The president said the Commodity Futures Trading Commission should keep exclusive authority over platforms such as Kalshi, Polymarket, Robinhood, and Crypto.com.&nbsp;</p>



<p>His statement adds political weight to a dispute already moving through courts, state capitals, and federal oversight channels.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Federal Position Strengthens</h2>



<p>Trump used a Truth Social post to support CFTC Chair Michael Selig, who is currently leading the agency with a reduced commission. He described federal control as critical and argued that other countries are competing for leadership in this new financial market.</p>



<p>The post also named Chris Christie, Letitia James, Tim Walz, and JB Pritzker as officials resisting the federal framework. Trump’s comments came as the CFTC continues to argue that event contracts listed on registered derivatives markets fall under the Commodity Exchange Act.</p>



<p>The issue has become more sensitive because Trump Media has also entered the prediction market sector. Its Truth Predict product was announced through an arrangement with <a href="http://crypto.com">Crypto.com</a> Derivatives North America, a CFTC-registered exchange.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="843" src="https://coinfea.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-19.png" alt="" class="wp-image-21875" srcset="https://coinfea.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-19.png 1024w, https://coinfea.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-19-300x247.png 300w, https://coinfea.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-19-768x632.png 768w, https://coinfea.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-19-860x708.png 860w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">States Push Back</h2>



<p>The <a href="https://coinfea.com/cftc-challenges-minnesota-prediction-market-ban/">CFTC </a>is suing Wisconsin, Illinois, Arizona, Connecticut, and New York after those states moved against prediction market platforms under gambling laws. The agency argues that states cannot block contracts traded on designated contract markets.</p>



<p>State officials have answered with their own legal pressure. A coalition of 39 attorneys general, led by Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, backed Massachusetts in its case against Kalshi sports contracts.</p>



<p>They argue that Congress did not clearly remove state authority over gambling when it wrote the Commodity Exchange Act. The coalition also cited heavy sports trading activity on Kalshi, where more than $1 billion was wagered across 3.4 million sports bets between January and June 2025.</p>



<p>Minnesota has taken the strongest state action so far. Governor Tim Walz signed a law that criminalizes prediction markets and creates felony penalties for operators.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Supreme Court Fight Looms</h2>



<p>The central legal question is whether sports and entertainment outcome contracts are federally regulated derivatives or state-regulated gambling products. That distinction will shape how prediction market platforms operate across the United States.</p>



<p>Court watchers now expect the dispute to reach the Supreme Court within 12 to 18 months. Until then, platforms may keep operating in many states under federal cover while some states continue enforcement.</p>



<p>Congress is also watching the sector more closely. The House Oversight Committee has opened an inquiry into Kalshi and Polymarket over insider trading concerns. Trump’s endorsement strengthens the federal position, but courts must still determine the legal boundaries for this fast-growing sector.</p><p>The post <a href="https://coinfea.com/trump-backs-cftc-authority-over-prediction-markets/">Trump Backs CFTC Authority Over Prediction Markets</a> first appeared on <a href="https://coinfea.com">Coinfea</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>XRP entered the center of U.S. crypto discussions after President Donald Trump ordered a review of Federal Reserve payment access for digital asset firms.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The directive could reshape how crypto companies connect with the banking system and settle transactions. Market participants are closely watching the review because it may affect Ripple’s payment network and the future role of XRP in regulated financial transfers.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Federal review raises new questions for crypto firms</h2>



<p>The executive order directs regulators to examine whether crypto companies should receive direct access to the Federal Reserve payment infrastructure. Companies including Ripple, Coinbase, and Circle could eventually gain access to services that traditional banks currently dominate.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Trump’s latest fintech executive order could be the massive catalyst <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24XRP&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$XRP</a> has been waiting for. <br><br>By directing the Fed to review giving crypto firms direct access to US payment rails, the administration is opening the door for players like <a href="https://twitter.com/Ripple?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Ripple</a> to bypass legacy banking… <a href="https://t.co/nvB3aao1vI">pic.twitter.com/nvB3aao1vI</a></p>&mdash; 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸XRP (@BankXRP) <a href="https://twitter.com/BankXRP/status/2058999842416775523?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 25, 2026</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p>For years, digital asset firms depended on intermediary banks to process payments and settlements. That structure often increased operational costs and slowed transaction processing for firms operating in the crypto sector.</p>



<p>The <a href="https://x.com/BankXRP/status/2058999842416775523?s=20">review </a>may reduce those barriers if regulators approve broader participation in the payment system. Banking organizations, however, continue raising concerns regarding oversight, financial stability, and operational risk tied to expanded access.</p>



<p>The policy discussion follows earlier developments involving Kraken, whose banking division secured limited payment access through a specialized charter arrangement. That move increased discussions surrounding how crypto businesses may participate within the national banking framework.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ripple could reduce dependence on intermediary banks</h2>



<p>Ripple has long promoted XRP as a settlement asset for cross-border transfers and institutional payments. The company designed its network to lower transaction costs and improve settlement speed for global financial activity.</p>



<p>If Ripple receives direct Federal Reserve access, the company could reduce reliance on correspondent banking networks. Financial institutions using Ripple services may complete transfers with fewer intermediaries and lower expenses.</p>



<p>The proposed changes may also strengthen liquidity movement across the <a href="https://coinfea.com/xrp-ledger-wallets-reach-record-high-as-large-holders-accumulate/">XRP </a>payment ecosystem. Faster settlement times and direct payment connectivity could improve institutional adoption if regulators approve the framework.</p>



<p>Supporters argue that direct access may help modernize payment systems and improve efficiency across digital finance operations. Critics maintain that expanding central bank access beyond traditional institutions could create additional regulatory and financial risks.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CLARITY Act advances through Senate committee</h2>



<p>Trump’s executive order arrived as lawmakers continued debating broader crypto legislation in Washington. The Senate Banking Committee recently advanced the CLARITY Act through a 15 to 9 vote with bipartisan support.</p>



<p>The legislation seeks to define how digital assets are classified under U.S. law and determine which agencies oversee the crypto market. Lawmakers have spent months negotiating issues connected to stablecoin oversight and market regulation.</p>



<p>The committee vote restarted discussions that had stalled earlier this year and renewed focus on the future structure of digital asset regulation in the United States financial policy.</p><p>The post <a href="https://coinfea.com/xrp-gains-attention-after-trump-order-targets-fed-payment-access/">XRP Gains Attention After Trump Order Targets Fed Payment Access</a> first appeared on <a href="https://coinfea.com">Coinfea</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Trump deepened his family’s indirect exposure to the cryptocurrency sector through investments in crypto-linked companies during the first quarter of 2026.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>New financial disclosures submitted to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics show purchases tied to Coinbase Global, MARA Holdings, and Strategy.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The <a href="https://www.oge.gov/web/oge.nsf/">filing </a>arrived as Washington advanced digital asset legislation and investors assessed weaker crypto trading conditions.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Disclosures Show Fresh Crypto Stock Purchases</h2>



<p>The OGE Form 278-T released this week outlined thousands of stock trades connected to President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, and their dependent children.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The document covered family assets, although authorities noted that the president’s children control those assets.</p>



<p><a href="https://coinfea.com/coinbase-deal-revives-senate-push-for-crypto-market-structure-rules/">Coinbase </a>appeared several times in the filing. The disclosure listed nine purchases of Coinbase Global Class A common stock.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The largest transaction took place on February 10, 2026, and carried a value range between $100,001 and $250,000. Other Coinbase purchases during the quarter appeared in smaller ranges.</p>



<p>The family also bought shares of MARA Holdings, one of the largest publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Those transactions mostly ranged from $15,001 to $50,000. MARA recently reported a $1.26 billion first-quarter net loss, while analysts said the company plans to shift more attention toward artificial intelligence and data center infrastructure.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategy Trades Draw Added Attention</h2>



<p>Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, also <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/crypto/articles/strategy-becomes-top-bitcoin-holder-120648842.html">featured </a>in the disclosure. The filing showed eight transactions involving Strategy Class A common stock, including both purchases and sales.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The biggest purchase occurred on February 12 and ranged from $50,001 to $100,000. The largest sale, recorded on January 12, ranged from $15,001 to $50,000.</p>



<p>Strategy remains the largest corporate Bitcoin holder worldwide, with more than 818,000 BTC on its balance sheet. That position has made the company a major proxy for public market exposure to Bitcoin.</p>



<p>The Trump family’s broader crypto-linked activity has drawn scrutiny because of policy debates in Washington.&nbsp;</p>



<p>A Trump Organization representative said the investments sit in fully discretionary accounts managed by independent financial institutions.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The representative said neither Trump, his family, nor the Trump Organization chooses or approves individual investments.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Regulation Debate Meets Weak Market Conditions</h2>



<p>The disclosure emerged as lawmakers moved forward with the <a href="https://www.vanhollen.senate.gov/news/press-releases/van-hollen-proposes-amendments-to-clarity-act-to-ensure-transparency-stop-trump-corruption">Clarity Act,</a> a bill designed to create a broader U.S. digital asset framework.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The <a href="https://www.banking.senate.gov/newsroom/majority/chairman-scott-senate-banking-committee-advance-clarity-act-in-historic-bipartisan-vote">Senate Banking Committee </a>advanced the bill on May 14, 2026, through a 15-9 vote, although conflict-of-interest concerns remained unresolved.</p>



<p>Meanwhile, <a href="https://cantorfitzgerald.ie/">Cantor Fitzgerald</a> pointed to prediction markets as a possible growth driver for Coinbase and Robinhood.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The firm said investors were looking beyond weak first-quarter trading results and focusing on future product demand.</p>



<p>Crypto markets stayed under pressure during the quarter. Bitcoin fell about 23 percent, while Ether dropped roughly 29%. Coinbase volumes declined to $54 billion in March from about $66 billion in January.</p><p>The post <a href="https://coinfea.com/trump-deepens-crypto-exposure-through-coinbase-and-strategy-stakes/">Trump Deepens Crypto Exposure Through Coinbase and Strategy Stakes</a> first appeared on <a href="https://coinfea.com">Coinfea</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Trump crypto comments drew fresh attention after Donald Trump told $TRUMP meme coin holders at Mar-a-Lago that the crypto industry was created in America.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The statement came during a Saturday event tied to wallet rankings, VIP access, and branded rewards for top holders. It also arrived as $TRUMP traded near $2.59, down 14% over the past 24 hours and well below its record above $70.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Addresses Holders as Token Falls</h2>



<p><a href="https://coinfea.com/trump-heads-to-palm-beach-to-address-crypto-crowd-on-saturday-amid-beef-with-justin-sun/">Trump </a>spoke for about 45 minutes before a crowd of leading $TRUMP holders at his Florida club. During the speech, he said the crypto industry was invented in America and argued that its future would remain linked to the United States and other countries.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The claim drew criticism because Bitcoin was introduced by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, whose identity and nationality remain unknown.</p>



<p>The event drew more attention because $TRUMP has lost most of its value since its post-inauguration surge in January 2025.&nbsp;</p>



<p>CoinGecko <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/official-trump">data </a>cited in the report showed the token was trading near $2.56 on Saturday afternoon, down 10.4% over 24 hours.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The same token had reached above $70 after its launch rally, then dropped to about $15 by May 2025.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ethics Concerns Follow VIP Access</h2>



<p>The Mar-a-Lago gathering was linked to rankings of major $TRUMP wallets. The 29 largest holders were invited to a VIP reception with Trump, according to the report.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Guests also reportedly received Trump-branded fragrances, posters, trading cards, and watches, although the official event site said there would be no private meetings with Trump and no gifts would be accepted.</p>



<p>The guest list reportedly included Cathie Wood, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, Tony Robbins, and Mike Tyson.&nbsp;</p>



<p>During the eligibility window for the event, $TRUMP generated $1.35 billion in trading volume, based on Nansen data cited in the report.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Critics said the setup raised ethics questions because Trump linked entities still earn fees from trades involving the meme coin.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Justin Sun Dispute Adds Pressure</h2>



<p>The event also unfolded during a legal dispute involving Justin Sun and World Liberty Financial, the Trump family-linked crypto project.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Sun, described as the largest known public investor in $TRUMP, sued the project after his WLFI tokens were frozen.&nbsp;</p>



<p>He accused the team of criminal extortion and said the freeze followed his refusal to invest more money.</p>



<p>Sun said he remained supportive of the Trump administration’s crypto policy but blamed World Liberty staff for actions he said opposed Trump’s values.&nbsp;</p>



<p>He claimed the team removed his voting rights and threatened to burn his tokens. The dispute has gained support from parts of the crypto community, while Sun and Eric Trump have exchanged public remarks on X.</p><p>The post <a href="https://coinfea.com/trump-crypto-claim-faces-scrutiny-after-mar-a-lago-meme-coin-event/">Trump Crypto Claim Faces Scrutiny After Mar-a-Lago Meme Coin Event</a> first appeared on <a href="https://coinfea.com">Coinfea</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Trump heads to Palm Beach to address a private cryptocurrency audience on Saturday as scrutiny intensifies over his business ties and a dispute involving Justin Sun.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The event is linked to the $TRUMP memecoin and will take place at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida. Attendance is restricted to a select group of top token holders, raising fresh concerns about access and influence.</p>



<p>The gathering follows confirmation from the White House that Donald Trump will deliver remarks at the closed-door conference. Organizers have positioned the event as a high-profile meeting of crypto investors and public figures aligned with Trump’s business network.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Exclusive access tied to $TRUMP holdings</h2>



<p>Entry to the Palm Beach event is limited to the top 297 holders of the $TRUMP token, according to promotional material from Fight Fight Fight LLC, the company behind the memecoin. Among those attendees, the top 29 investors are expected to receive invitations to a smaller reception with Trump.</p>



<p>The company has marketed the gathering as a premier crypto and business event, with Trump listed as the keynote speaker during a scheduled lunch. The format mirrors a similar dinner hosted last year at Trump’s Virginia golf club, where 220 token buyers attended. That earlier event reportedly generated about $148 million and drew criticism from ethics watchdogs.</p>



<p><a href="https://gettrumpmemes.com/terms">Promotional </a>details also note uncertainty around Trump’s full participation. If he is unable to attend, the event could be rescheduled or participants may receive a limited edition Trump-themed NFT as compensation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dispute with Justin Sun adds pressure</h2>



<p>The event comes amid a public fallout between Trump-linked entities and Justin Sun, a major investor tied to the TRON ecosystem. Sun has filed a lawsuit against World Liberty Financial, alleging financial misconduct and claiming he suffered significant losses.</p>



<p>The dispute has added another layer of tension around <a href="https://coinfea.com/trump-campaign-adopts-bitcoin-lightning-network-for-donations/">Trump’s </a>growing involvement in cryptocurrency ventures. It also raises questions about the stability of partnerships linked to the $TRUMP token and related projects.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Political backlash and conflict concerns</h2>



<p>Democratic lawmakers, including Elizabeth Warren, Adam Schiff, and Richard Blumenthal, have criticized the event and called for greater oversight. They argue that such gatherings risk creating conflicts of interest, especially as Trump and his family remain active in crypto-related businesses.</p>



<p>The senators have urged Congress to investigate the extent of financial gains linked to Trump’s digital asset ventures. They also highlighted data suggesting that while early investors profited heavily, many retail holders have incurred losses tied to $TRUMP and related tokens.</p>



<p>The White House has rejected claims of wrongdoing, stating that Trump complies with applicable conflict-of-interest laws. Trump has also defended his actions, maintaining that his business dealings remain legitimate and transparent.</p><p>The post <a href="https://coinfea.com/trump-heads-to-palm-beach-to-address-crypto-crowd-on-saturday-amid-beef-with-justin-sun/">Trump heads to Palm Beach to address crypto crowd on Saturday amid beef with Justin Sun</a> first appeared on <a href="https://coinfea.com">Coinfea</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The</strong> <strong>Trump-Iran war has removed more than 500 million barrels from the global oil supply and wiped out over $50 billion in crude value within about seven weeks. </strong></p>



<p>The disruption began in late February and <a href="https://coinfea.com/btc-quarterly-options-expiry-shakes-market-as-traders-brace-for-volatility/" title="continues">continues</a> to weigh on energy markets as supply chains struggle to stabilize. </p>



<p>Analysts warn that the impact could persist for months or even years due to ongoing damage and uncertainty.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Supply shock shakes global energy balance</h2>



<p>The scale of the disruption is significant and ranks among the largest energy shocks in modern history based on Kpler data.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The missing volume includes crude and condensate that never reached the market, creating a supply gap that is already affecting pricing, storage, and trade flows worldwide.</p>



<p>Analysts <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/five-loaded-qatari-lng-vessels-approach-strait-hormuz-ship-tracking-data-shows-2026-04-18/?taid=69e3a5d3ba4ee50001ee14f1&amp;utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&amp;utm_medium=trueAnthem&amp;utm_source=twitter">estimate </a>that 500 million barrels equate to nearly ten weeks of global aviation fuel demand and around eleven days of zero road traffic globally. </p>



<p>It also represents about one month of oil consumption in the United States and more than a month of demand in Europe.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The volume could supply global shipping for four months or meet several years of fuel needs for the US military.</p>



<p>Inventory data shows further strain across the system. Global onshore crude stockpiles declined by about 45 million barrels in April alone, while supply outages have averaged around 12 million barrels per day since late March.&nbsp;</p>



<p>These figures highlight the depth of the disruption and the difficulty of restoring balance in the near term.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strait of Hormuz tensions keep markets on edge</h2>



<p>Iran has reopened the Strait of Hormuz following a ceasefire linked to regional tensions, but the risk of another closure continues to unsettle markets.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The waterway remains one of the most critical energy routes, previously handling about one-fifth of global LNG trade.</p>



<p>Market participants are closely watching the situation as prediction markets indicate a $44 chance that US oil prices could exceed $100 per barrel if the strait is shut again.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Political signals remain mixed, with the United States indicating it will not respond to pressure while negotiations continue without a clear timeline.</p>



<p>Shipping activity has started to resume cautiously. Several LNG vessels from Qatar are moving toward the strait, marking the first such shipments since the conflict began on February 28.&nbsp;</p>



<p>A convoy of oil tankers has also entered the route, signaling partial normalization, though risks remain elevated.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Recovery faces long delays and structural damage</h2>



<p>Despite the reopening of key routes, recovery across the region is expected to be slow. Damage to infrastructure, including refineries and LNG facilities, is likely to reduce supply capacity for several years.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Repairs at major sites could remove up to 12.8 million metric tons per year from global LNG supply over the next three to five years.</p>



<p>Production challenges are also emerging in key oil-producing areas. Heavy crude fields in Kuwait and Iraq may take four to five months to return to normal output levels, which will extend supply tightness into the summer period.</p>



<p>Qatar’s export capacity has already been reduced by about 17% due to earlier disruptions, adding further strain to global gas markets. Even with shipping lanes open, the broader energy system faces a prolonged adjustment period.</p>



<p>The Trump-Iran war continues to reshape global energy dynamics, with lasting consequences for supply stability, pricing trends, and geopolitical risk.</p><p>The post <a href="https://coinfea.com/trump-iran-war-cuts-global-oil-supply-by-500-million-barrels-and-triggers-50-billion-losses-in-seven-weeks/">Trump-Iran war cuts global oil supply by 500 million barrels and triggers $50 billion losses in seven weeks</a> first appeared on <a href="https://coinfea.com">Coinfea</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Trump’s Fed chair pick takes a procedural step forward as Powell’s May 15 deadline approaches after Kevin Warsh submitted key documents.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The filing clears an early hurdle that had delayed the Senate process. However, political resistance continues to cloud the timeline for final approval.</p>



<p>Kevin Warsh completed the required financial disclosures, allowing his nomination to move closer to a Senate hearing. The missing paperwork had stalled proceedings and forced a delay in the expected review schedule. Lawmakers now have what they need to advance the process, but confirmation remains uncertain.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Senate resistance complicates confirmation timeline</h2>



<p>The path forward still faces obstacles on Capitol Hill. Thom Tillis has said he will block final approval until a federal case tied to Jerome Powell is resolved. This stance creates uncertainty as the deadline for leadership transition approaches.</p>



<p>Powell’s term is set to end on May 15, and the administration aims to install Warsh before then. The ongoing legal matter has become a key sticking point in the confirmation process. Jeanine Pirro has indicated that prosecutors will continue pursuing the case despite earlier setbacks.</p>



<p>The delay raises questions about whether the Senate can complete its review in time. Even with paperwork submitted, procedural steps and political disagreements may extend the timeline beyond expectations.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fed officials assess inflation outlook amid energy shock</h2>



<p>At the same time, policymakers are weighing economic risks tied to global events. Stephen Miran stated that the Iran-related energy shock has not altered long-term inflation expectations. He said there is no clear evidence that expectations have risen.</p>



<p>Miran noted that the labor market has been cooling gradually over several years. This trend, he argued, reduces the risk of a wage-driven inflation cycle. He added that energy price spikes often fade quickly, limiting their lasting impact.</p>



<p>He expects inflation to move close to the central bank’s target within a year. This outlook contrasts with concerns raised during the March meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee. Minutes from that session showed growing worries about persistent inflation pressures.</p>



<p>The committee kept its benchmark rate unchanged between 3.5% and 3.75%. Miran supported a rate cut at the meeting, placing him at odds with several colleagues. Since joining the board, he has advocated for faster easing.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market views highlight rate sensitivity and policy direction</h2>



<p>Debate has also extended to financial innovation and market behavior. Miran addressed proposals allowing stablecoin issuers to pay interest to users. He suggested the impact on traditional banks would likely remain limited.</p>



<p>Meanwhile, Jim Cramer <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2026/04/13/the-fed-will-most-likely-asterisk-inflation-from-tariffs-and-the-war-as-one-offs-says-jim-cramer.html">focused </a>on interest rates and market reactions. He argued that future Fed policy under Warsh may avoid raising rates if current trends hold. He added that rate cuts could become more likely under stable conditions.</p>



<p>Cramer said energy-driven inflation may be treated as temporary by policymakers. He pointed to improved fuel efficiency and lower domestic natural gas costs as mitigating factors. He described natural gas as a key advantage for the United States.</p>



<p>He also emphasized that interest rates continue to shape stock valuations more than geopolitical events. Rising rates tend to reduce the value investors assign to future earnings. This dynamic can pressure equity markets through multiple compressions.</p><p>The post <a href="https://coinfea.com/trumps-fed-chair-pick-takes-a-procedural-step-forward-as-powells-may-15-deadline-approaches/">Trump’s Fed chair pick takes a procedural step forward as Powell’s May 15 deadline approaches</a> first appeared on <a href="https://coinfea.com">Coinfea</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A sell-off in Trump-linked crypto assets is raising fresh scrutiny across the digital asset space, especially after the TRUMP token suffered a staggering 90% collapse. The concern intensified after data from CoinGecko showed that the token fell to a record low of approximately $2.73 last month and is currently trading at $2.83, down 0.75% in the past 24 hours.</strong></p>



<p>As earlier reported by Cryptopolitan, the Trump-backed WLFI token has decreased by more than 19% this week, primarily due to <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/trump-token-plunges-90/">complications</a> arising from its multi-million-dollar self-collateralized loans on the Dolomite platform. The WLFI token dropped nearly 75% from its September 2025 peak of about $0.31, while the TRUMP meme coin has plunged by roughly 90% since hitting a high of more than $73 in January 2025.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">TRUMP token drops as Trump’s venture draws criticism</h2>



<p>Concerning the recent token price declines, Professor Tonya Evans, the Founder and CEO of Advantage Evans Global Regulatory Strategies, stated that, “We thought Sam Bankman-Fried or Gary Gensler were the worst things for the crypto industry, and they were terrible. But it turns out it was someone who surrounds himself with yes-men, takes every bit of value for himself, and quickly bankrupts companies and casinos without facing any consequences.”</p>



<p>Democratic lawmakers serving in the United States Senate, including Elizabeth Warren, Richard Blumenthal, and Adam Schiff, also expressed concerns about Trump’s involvement in the <a href="https://coinfea.com/blockency-smart-crypto-investment-platform/" title="Blockency: Smart Crypto Investment Platform">crypto</a> ecosystem. Their concerns intensified after he released a public statement about an upcoming gala for token holders scheduled for April 25. According to them, the president misused his influence by providing token holders with exclusive access to him.</p>



<p>In an attempt to discover the truth, the three senators wrote a letter to Bill Zanker, the individual behind the introduction of the Trump meme coin, requesting further clarification concerning the objective of the upcoming gala. In the meantime, Ross Gerber, the co-founder, President, and CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth &amp; Investment Management, earlier issued a statement expressing his belief that introducing these coins around the inauguration period, followed by a sharp rise in meme tokens, diminished investor engagement in the sector.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Upcoming gala for token holders draws debate</h2>



<p>Gerber explained that, “celebrity-backed meme coins often turn out to be scams or appear like one; either way, regular investors end up losing money while celebrities profit.” According to him, people, deceived by these scams, ultimately suffer losses, as their funds are stolen rather than merely lost. Gerber deemed this situation a critical challenge in the sector. He noted that losing money on meme coins often drives people away from crypto for good.</p>



<p>Additionally, he stressed that the Trump administration’s lenient regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies diminishes their appeal to everyday investors. Earlier, analysts observed a rapid price increase in TRUMP Coin following the announcement of a new project event featuring a keynote address from Trump. This gathering, a Conference &amp; Gala Luncheon, is scheduled to take place at Mar-a-Lago on April 25 this year.</p>



<p>The event is aimed at top TRUMP token holders and will follow the same approach as the private dinner the project hosted last year. Moreover, the organizers behind this occasion hinted that invitations to the luncheon are limited to the top 297 qualifying token holders. In addition to the main attendees, the event will feature 18 high-profile participants, dubbed “Superstars,” including Donald Trump, who is expected to attend. The development drew inquiries from reporters seeking further details from the organizers.</p><p>The post <a href="https://coinfea.com/trump-token-declines-90-as-crypto-ventures-continue-to-draw-scrutiny/">TRUMP token declines 90% as crypto ventures continue to draw scrutiny</a> first appeared on <a href="https://coinfea.com">Coinfea</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Trump administration has maintained its ban on Anthropic in a court document filed Tuesday. The Trump administration noted that the Pentagon’s blacklisting of Anthropic was legally sound, contesting the company’s significant lawsuits.</strong></p>



<p>The Claude developer initiated two federal lawsuits on Monday, <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/trump-upholds-pentagon-ban-on-anthropic/">arguing</a> it faced illegal retaliation for advocating for AI safety. It insists that Pentagon officials are using the blacklist to punish it for refusing to drop protections against autonomous weaponization and surveillance, thus violating its First Amendment rights. On March 3, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth formally classified Anthropic as a supply chain risk over national security concerns.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Trump administration cites security risks for its ban on Anthropic</h2>



<p>In its court filing, the Trump administration noted, “For national security reasons, the terms of service for plaintiff Anthropic PBC’s artificial intelligence (AI) technology have become unacceptable to the Executive Branch. Anthropic concedes the Government’s right not ‘to use Anthropic’s services’ and to ‘transition to other AI providers.’”</p>



<p>It further contended that Anthropic’s First Amendment argument is a stretch and won’t stand up under legal scrutiny. The filing asserted that its actions were driven solely by national security concerns, not by a desire to punish the company for its AI safety views. It also claimed that during its talks with the company, Anthropic’s overall attitude led them to second-guess whether it would be a good fit for the Department of Defense.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Anthropic wary about granting the government autonomous force</h2>



<p>According to the filing, the Pentagon reportedly became concerned that Anthropic could pose a vulnerability to its defense supply chains. Reportedly, government officials fear the company might pull the plug on its systems in the middle of a conflict if it doesn’t like how the tech is being used. In addition, negotiations also stalled for months over Anthropic’s refusal to lift safety rules that prevent AI from being used in mass surveillance or automated combat.</p>



<p>The AI firm has maintained that allowing “any lawful use” as requested by the DoD would go against its core safety principles and increase the risk of misuse of its Claude systems. So far, anti-war activists have been hailing Anthropic as a hero for resisting the military. However, co-founder and chief executive Dario Amodei recently noted that the AI firm and the government broadly share the same objectives.</p>



<p>Margaret Mitchell, an <a href="https://coinfea.com/tron-joins-agentic-ai-foundation-to-support-open-infrastructure-for-autonomous-ai-systems/" title="TRON Joins Agentic AI Foundation to Support Open Infrastructure for Autonomous AI Systems">AI</a> researcher and chief ethics scientist at the tech firm Hugging Face, even cautioned, “If people are looking for good guys and bad guys, where a good guy is someone who doesn’t support war, then they’re not going to find that here.” Amodei also said, “Anthropic has much more in common with the Department of War than we have differences.” He shared his concerns about the dangers of AI-made bioweapons and Chinese interference.</p>



<p>However, he also believes AI companies have a duty to help governments win the tech war against autocracies. Per his remarks, he’s less worried about AI being used in war and more terrified of a handful of people having the power to launch a massive, mindless, automated drone strike at the push of a button. At the moment, the executive is balancing a firm “no” on autonomous weapons and domestic surveillance.</p>



<p>Regardless, the firm has otherwise been a highly cooperative ally of the US military. Previously, the company altered its AI models for the Department of Defense; they actually built Claude into the government’s most secure, classified networks, including satellite imagery systems, intelligence analysis, modeling and simulation, and operational planning. In its recent lawsuit, it even noted, “Anthropic does not impose the same restrictions on the military’s use of Claude as it does on civilian customers. Claude Gov is less prone to refuse requests that would be prohibited in the civilian context.”</p><p>The post <a href="https://coinfea.com/trump-backs-pentagon-ban-on-anthropic-cites-national-security-risks/">Trump backs Pentagon ban on Anthropic, cites national security risks</a> first appeared on <a href="https://coinfea.com">Coinfea</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TRUMP Coin has increased by 36% in the past few days as major investors are consolidating their stakes.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>It increases the price before a very exclusive party of the best holders, and the number of wallets holding more than 1 million TRUMP tokens is up to a five-month high.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Whale Accumulation and Gala Incentives</h2>



<p>To a large extent, this rise in the price of TRUMP Coin can be explained by the recent buying of many coins by the so-called whales, who are large investors and possess considerable volumes of the token. </p>



<p>According to the market data, the wallets containing more than 1 million tokens increased to the highest level in more than five months, up to 83.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This accumulation burst has been supported by the next exclusive gala luncheon that will involve President Donald Trump as the main speaker.</p>



<p>Crypto investors have been drawn to this occurrence, and thus, they believe that the token is not just a speculative instrument. </p>



<p>The <a href="https://coinfea.com/trump-tokens-hold-gains-as-whale-competition-for-dinner-spots-grows/">TRUMP Coin</a> has become a ticket into the event, with only <a href="https://x.com/santimentfeed/status/2033629998527938885?s=20">297 seats</a> in it, which creates the sense of exclusivity.&nbsp;</p>



<p>With a passionate bid to get the spots, a buying frenzy has been ignited, and the whales are attempting to get more tokens to guarantee they get a spot in the event.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Event Creates Competitive Dynamics</h2>



<p>The increasing demand for TRUMP tokens has evolved into a constant rivalry. </p>



<p>The organizers of the event are using a live leaderboard that monitors the ranking of token holders, which has been used to provide a competitive advantage. </p>



<p>Consequently, investors are not only buying tokens in the event of a price increase, but to advance their positions and access the gala.</p>



<p>Certain huge investors have already earned huge profits by buying millions of dollars of tokens immediately after the event has been announced. </p>



<p>These investors have been witnesses to a rise in the value of their holdings as prices soar.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Nevertheless, there have been those who sold their holdings before the announcement and have not realized the proceeds, which points to the speculative and volatile nature of such events.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Social Status and Market Demand</h2>



<p>The next gala is not a business meeting only, but rather perceived to be a high-profile networking event, which also contributes to the increased demand for the TRUMP tokens.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The place is a luxurious place, which further increases the appeal of the event to investors interested in a social ticket into exclusive events.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This has led to a large number of investors purchasing TRUMP tokens as a way of speculating on the financial front, as well as the personal branding and networking that the gala will provide.</p>



<p>Although the event happens to be exclusive, it is the concern of some industry observers how just and transparent such an association of digital assets with such high-profile gatherings becomes.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This is not the first instance when similar events have caused controversy.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The dinner last year, which also involved Trump, caused criticism on the border between traditional financial speculation and incentives based on access.</p>



<p>The recent popularity of the TRUMP Coin proves the changing aspect of cryptocurrencies to bring financial activity to social and personal experiences.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The market is still being influenced by the competitive nature of the investors as the gala nears.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Some of them are making money out of the price increment, and some are retaining their tokens with the hope that they will get an opportunity to be present in this exclusive event.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Their overlap with cryptocurrencies and networking, as well as branding, is an indication of a change in the digital asset market, where investment strategies are becoming more about access and status.</p><p>The post <a href="https://coinfea.com/trump-coin-price-surges-36-as-whale-accumulation-spikes-ahead-of-gala-event/">TRUMP Coin Price Surges 36% as Whale Accumulation Spikes Ahead of Gala Event</a> first appeared on <a href="https://coinfea.com">Coinfea</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
