On Wednesday, US Senator Elizabeth Warren called for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) watchdog to investigate whether the Donald Trump administration profited from dropping crypto enforcement against the likes of Justin Sun, Binance, and Coinbase.  In a letter to the SEC’s Inspector General Deborah Jeffrey — who is responsible for investigating “allegations of wrongdoing or misconduct involving SEC programs, operations, or personnel” — Warren asked if she could probe the agency, members of the White House, or anyone with direct ties to Trump’s family and business partners to find out if they influenced SEC crypto policy. If this turns out to be the case, Warren wants to uncover if they made a profit from any crypto policy meddling. She said, “President Trump, his closest advisors, and his family members all stand to benefit from boosts in the crypto industry.” SEC drops high-profile crypto cases in pivot Read more: ETH down 39% sinc...

With the price of bitcoin down 10% and global crypto markets losing half a trillion dollars since the start of the year, investors are questioning the mainstream narrative that institutional demand would drive up the price of bitcoin. This year, giant companies like Tether, MicroStrategy, and Blackrock have been gobbling up tens of thousands of bitcoin, yet their efforts have not stopped its declining price.

Despite the uncertainty of this theory, the idea of Tether’s power has remained popular. Similarly, institutional demand was supposed to propel bitcoin to new heights . “The institutions are coming” meme dominated discussions among many bitcoin investors over the years who predict...

Lawmakers in the United States have an informational edge over the public — and their committee assignments mean that they, quite often, regulate the industries they invest in. There’s no shortage of suspicious stock trades being made — but the sighting of a suspicious crypto trade on Capitol Hill remains a much rarer and more interesting occurrence. While U.S. politicians still trade and invest in crypto on a much smaller scale than equities, there has been a notable uptick in activity since the start of the Trump presidency. Moreover, it’s apparent that lawmakers are not above using their unique advantages when it comes to digital assets.

Despite being seen as the pro-crypto candidate of the 2024 election, thus far, Donald Trump’s second presidency has had its fair share of controversies regarding the cryptocurrency market. Perhaps the most significant of these was the launch of Official TRUMP (Trump), the president’s very own meme coin. Released on January 17, just days before the inauguration, TRUMP quickly skyrocketed, reaching an all-time high (ATH) price of $44.28 per token on January 21, as well as a market capitalization of roughly $14.7 billion.
