White House National Economic Council Director Hassett said that to celebrate the official launch of the "Trump Account" for minors, officials from Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) plan to jointly ring the opening bell at the White House Oval Office. Hassett stated, "Next week we will hold a grand opening bell-ringing ceremony, during which Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange will jointly ring the bell at the Oval Office for the first time ever. They are doing this to celebrate the official rollout of the 'Trump Account' and to let everyone know that now is the time to open an account for their children, even if the child was not born this year." This tax-advantaged savings account, previously announced by Trump, will officially launch on July 4. All U.S. citizens born between 2025 and 2028—a period covering Trump’s second presidential term—will receive an initial $1,000 investment from the U.S. government. Older children can also open and use such accounts, however. Additionally, some eligible children will receive an extra $250 contribution from Michael Dell, founder of Dell Technologies, and his wife Susan. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the arrangements. Trump previously rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange in December 2024, ahead of his second presidential inauguration.

JPMorgan said that based on its conversations with clients and market participants, institutional demand for perpetual futures remains limited, with the products more widely viewed as speculative trading tools rather than alternatives to traditional derivatives. The report noted that while perpetual futures enable 24/7 trading and eliminate rollover costs, most trading activity stems from traders seeking leveraged directional exposure, not institutions with genuine hedging needs. Additionally, factors including basis risk, the absence of a term structure, insufficient physical delivery, and the lack of traditional clearing guarantees for on-chain products are constraining institutional adoption, per the report.
