The House Agriculture Committee is pressing President Donald Trump to nominate four commissioners to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), warning that the agency is not well-equipped to handle its expanding mandate with only one member in place. In a joint letter on Friday, Committee Chairman Glenn “GT” Thompson and Ranking Member Angie Craig urged Trump to seat a full bipartisan panel of five commissioners alongside CFTC Chairman Michael Selig, who has been the agency’s sole commissioner since taking office in December following a wave of departures. “The public, the markets, and the agency itself will be best served by…

Intesa Sanpaolo crypto exposure jumped sharply in the first quarter of 2026, giving fresh weight to the idea that major banks are still finding new ways to build positions in digital assets through fund and trust structures.

However, it was not just a matter of adding more crypto risk overall. The bank also changed the mix, increasing its Bitcoin holdings, adding Ethereum exposure for the first time, opening a…

The Strategy trade is starting to look less like a clean Bitcoin bet and more like a financial Jenga tower with orange laser eyes. Investors bought MSTR for the $BTC upside. Now they have to read the debt schedule, the STRC yield, the 8-K, and the fine print that turns “0% debt” into a 2027 cash problem. The author of this article owns a tiny bit of Strategy. And when I received the email that the board had decided to pause its heavy Bitcoin buying and repurchased about $1.5 billion of 0% convertible notes for around $1.38 billion, I couldn’t…

This means being directed by the same company whose 1 billion users would determine its value. Toncoin…
