The U.S. Senate Banking Committee Advances the "Financial Transparency and Regulatory Compliance Act"

**December 11th** Following the Federal Reserve’s FOMC meeting, several analysts emphasized the central bank’s policy adjustment is a **well-calibrated signal** rather than an outright shift. They draw parallels to the Fed’s cautious stance after its last rate-cut cycle: the bank raised its economic growth forecast, lowered inflation expectations, and signaled a **higher bar for further easing**. Coin Bureau co-founder Nick Parklin noted the rate cut “wasn’t as hawkish as some anticipated” — but strong internal opposition and the Fed’s guidance of just one rate cut next year have “injected fresh uncertainty into risk assets.” Per Parklin: “This isn’t enough to spark a Christmas rally for Bitcoin.” BRN Research Director Timothy Misir argues the post-cut market dip reflects a dynamic where investors “welcome the cut but reject the guidance.” Institutional demand remains robust: since December 1, smart fund wallets holding 10–10,000 Bitcoin have accumulated ~42,565 BTC, he noted.

On December 11, Poland’s government resubmitted a cryptocurrency bill previously vetoed by its president—with no modifications to the original text—sparking tension between President Karol Nawrocki and Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The legislation proposes naming the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) as the primary regulator of the national crypto market. While critics argue the measure is overly cumbersome, a government spokesperson stated President Nawrocki is unlikely to veto the bill again now that he fully grasps its national security implications.
