Trump’s White House Has One View of Crypto Legislation. His Family’s Crypto Company Has Another

There is a potential for a positive shift in Ethereum sentiment, driven by improvements in metrics like TVL and institutional interest. The Solana Foundation’s proactive…
The International Monetary Fund said Wednesday that US inflation will not return to the Federal Reserve’s 2% target until early 2027. The assessment, part of the IMF’s first Article IV review of the Trump administration, signals that meaningful rate relief remains distant despite the president’s optimism.
