PANews reported on September 6 that crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett tweeted that the U.S. Senate Banking Committee’s latest draft of the market structure bill has incorporated feedback from stakeholders and lobbying groups. The following are some highlights of the draft: 1. Ancillary Assets (Section 101): This provision is intended to provide clearer legal interpretation, exclude “ancillary assets” from the scope of securities, stipulate that pledges and airdrops are not securities, and provide that SEC enforcement actions and private lawsuits cannot target existing tokens issued before the date of enactment of the bill, provided that these tokens do not constitute fraud. 2. DePIN (Section 504): Adds a new exemption to exempt decentralized physical infrastructure networks from securities laws. 3. Protecting software developers: The new draft retains the self-custody protection clause (Section 506), the DeFi exemption clause (Section 501), and the blockchain regulatory certainty bill (Section 505). 4. SEC-CFTC Coordination: The SEC and CFTC have established processes to jointly form a joint advisory committee to make decisions in the digital asset area (Section 701) and resolve any disputes (Section 702).PANews reported on September 6 that crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett tweeted that the U.S. Senate Banking Committee’s latest draft of the market structure bill has incorporated feedback from stakeholders and lobbying groups.

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

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…
