PANews reported on November 26th that, according to The Block, a post from the Texas Blockchain Commission indicates that the state has made its first allocation to the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, purchasing approximately $5 million worth of BlackRock's Bitcoin Spot ETF (IBIT) last week. This transaction appears to be the first use of authorized funds under SB 21, enacted by Greg Abbott in June. This act established a state-level Bitcoin reserve operated by the Texas Treasury Trust Company. Lee Bratcher, chairman of the Texas Blockchain Commission, revealed on Twitter that the purchase occurred on November 20th, marking both the reserve's first allocation and the first instance of a state government purchasing Bitcoin in the United States. However, state officials have not yet released any documents or statements to confirm the transaction. According to the latest 13F filing by the Texas Fiscal Trust, the company holds approximately $667 million in SPY (S&P 500 ETF) and $34 million in the Janus Henderson Fund. If, as Lee Bratcher stated, the purchase of $5 million worth of IBIT (as part of a $10 million Bitcoin allocation) would become the third largest holding in this portfolio.PANews reported on November 26th that, according to The Block, a post from the Texas Blockchain Commission indicates that the state has made its first allocation to the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, purchasing approximately $5 million worth of BlackRock's Bitcoin Spot ETF (IBIT) last week.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For
The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
