The $5,000 DOGE dividend checks sit in limbo as stock markets quiver and inflation fears grow. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariff plans and revived pleas for the Federal Reserve to reduce interest rates complicate the economic landscape. Despite growing anticipation, taxpayers remain in the dark about the direct payment stimulus checks. Trump has maintained that the economic toll from tariffs is a necessary “detox” for the US economy. Yet his administration’s hesitance to issue direct payments — despite its initial backing of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — points to a move away from immediate financial relief toward more…

The Bitcoin price-moving might of President Donald Trump’s trade tactics appears to be fading. The president’s threat to slap tariffs on Canadian, Mexican, and Chinese imports dropped Bitcoin’s price to $93,000 a week ago, but his latest policy remarks caused far less chaos. On his way to watch Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, Trump promised that his administration would unveil 25% levies on aluminum and steel imports from all countries on Monday. How soon the measures could be imposed was still unclear, as of Monday morning New York time. Despite signaling trade tensions could further escalate after an already…

On Friday, Maryland Delegate Adrian Boafo (D) and New York Assemblyman Clyde Vanel (D) sent a joint letter to Democratic Congressional leaders urging them to pass comprehensive crypto legislation at the federal level. In the letter, the elected officials cited New York State as being a leader in crypto regulation and proposed that New York’s BitLicense be used as a model for what federal crypto regulation should look like. The letter’s authors also noted that New York State has placed a two-year moratorium on proof-of-work cryptocurrency mining that uses fossil fuels (seemingly citing this as something else the federal government…
