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

2025.03.14 02:24:20

On March 14th, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee advanced the "Financial Integrity and Regulation Management Act" by a 13 - 11 vote this Thursday. This act will disallow federal regulatory agencies from employing "reputational risk" as an assessment element in financial regulation. Furthermore, the committee made a series of amendments to the act, such as adjusting regulatory approaches through "management schemes" to guarantee that bank regulation is "tailored" according to their risk profile and business model.

Trump Insists on Criminal Investigation of Powell, Vows to Get to the Bottom of It Despite Party Pushback

Feb. 3 — U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday the criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell should continue and won’t be blocked by internal Republican pushback. Earlier, Republican Senator Thom Tillis had warned he would oppose any new Fed chair nominee if the probe isn’t wrapped up—potentially derailing Kevin Warsh’s nomination. Speaking from the White House, Trump told federal prosecutor Jeanne Pirro (who’s leading the investigation) to “get to the bottom of the facts and conclude.” Powell has confirmed he’s under criminal scrutiny and pushed back that the allegations stem from the Fed’s failure to speed up interest rate cuts at his request, emphasizing rate decisions are rooted in the public interest. Reports link the probe to a high-cost renovation project at the Fed’s headquarters. Powell’s term expires in May, and the investigation has heightened market uncertainty about the Fed’s independence and policy outlook amid the nomination process.

Viewpoint: Cryptocurrency is no longer "weird," which has become the problem

**February 3 – Gnosis co-founder Friederike Ernst warned that as Wall Street and traditional financial firms ramp up their entry into crypto, the industry risks diluting its core principles.** She noted crypto was never intended to be just a "back-end upgrade" for traditional finance (TradFi) — but rather to reshape money, platforms, and power structures, with a focus on individual sovereignty, collective ownership, and personal agency. Ernst recalled that when Gnosis launched in 2015, crypto was still viewed as a "weird" fringe technology. That "weirdness," she said, spurred a rethinking of the financial system’s essence and power distribution. Today, however, crypto is moving mainstream: Robinhood is rolling out blockchain-based stocks, major U.S. banks are hiring stablecoin engineers, and governments are pushing TradFi-crypto integration. As the regulatory landscape improves and institutional capital pours in, Ernst urged entrepreneurs to stay vigilant against value drift.
