Two totally unrelated storylines collided into one big question across Crypto Twitter: Why is the market turning green again? Spoiler: It’s not because Congress is releasing the Epstein files — but that headline didn’t hurt the chaos. House Votes 427–1 to Release Epstein Files: Market Reacts, but Not How You Think In one of the most lopsided votes in modern history, the US House of Representatives voted 427–1 to force the Department of Justice to release the long-sealed Jeffrey Epstein files. The bipartisan bill, co-sponsored by Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna, now heads to the Senate. BREAKING: US…
A cross-party coalition of U.K. lawmakers has called on Chancellor Rachel Reeves to step in and ensure Britain’s regulatory framework for stablecoins doesn’t stifle innovation or drive capital overseas, warning that the Bank of England’s current proposals risk risks undermining the City of London’s appeal as the global financial hub. In a letter dated Dec. 11, 2025, addressed to the Chancellor and signed by prominent MPs and peers including Sir Gavin Williamson, Viscount Camrose, and Baroness Verma, the group said that stablecoins, or digital tokens pegged to an external reference such as traditional fiat currencies, are fast becoming a pillar…

The US Congress is closer than ever to defining federal rules for digital assets, yet the question of whether stablecoins can provide yield has slowed the process more than agency turf battles or token classification. Notably, the House has already advanced the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, outlining a path for certain tokens to move from securities regulation to CFTC oversight. At the same time, the US Senate is shaping a parallel package that divides responsibilities between the Agriculture and Banking Committees. However, despite substantial areas of agreement, negotiators say the issue of stablecoin yield remains the sticking point. This…

Central banks rarely make headlines for personnel changes, but the upcoming shift inside one of the US Federal Reserve banks has captured global attention in finance, particularly in crypto.

The order creates an AI Litigation Task Force under the Attorney General and instructed the Justice Department to contest state laws on federal preemption grounds and potential conflicts with interstate commerce protections. The order identified Colorado’s new “algorithmic discrimination” statute as a key concern and signaled that additional state measures could face scrutiny. “My administration must act with the Congress to…
