Coinbase CEO: The Genius Act will not be amended; this is Coinbase's red line.

PANews reported on December 27th that Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on the X platform, stating that banks are lobbying Congress to amend the Genius Act. Coinbase will not allow anyone to amend the act; this is Coinbase's red line, and they will continue to protect the interests of their customers and the cryptocurrency industry. Armstrong added that he personally predicts that in a few years, once banks realize the enormous business opportunities presented by stablecoins, they will change their stance and lobby Congress to allow stablecoins to pay interest and yields. Therefore, what they are doing now is completely futile (and unethical), and the innovator's dilemma always exists.

It is understood that the current Genius Act requires stablecoin issuers not to offer stablecoin rewards, but trading intermediary platforms such as Gemini, Coinbase, and Kraken can, and this has already been incorporated into the existing legislation. If traditional bankers amend the law to prohibit such behavior, it will stifle stablecoin innovation.

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…
