PANews reported on January 18 that Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong denied reports that the Trump administration was considering withdrawing its support for the cryptocurrency market structure bill. Armstrong stated that the claim was inaccurate. He added that the White House has been very active on this matter. "They have indeed asked us to try to reach agreements with banks, and we are currently working on that. In fact, we have been coming up with some good ideas that we hope will specifically help community banks in this bill, as that bill focuses on community banks. More information will be released soon."

According to a previous report by journalist Eleanor Terrett, the White House is considering withdrawing its support for the Market Structures Act if Coinbase does not offer a yield agreement that satisfies banks.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut.

In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
