Joe Biden News

Apple Inc is a $2.5 trillion company. To significantly boost that bottom line, the company has only so many opportunities it can pursue. Self-driving cars and mixed-reality glasses come to mind (as much as I love the Ted Lasso cinematic universe, it won’t move the needle). There’s another massive opportunity that the iPhone maker has been fairly mum on: crypto. “Apple’s position on crypto is between neutral and hostile,” says Ric Burton, an early contributor to the Ethereum project. “However, iPhone could be the tool that on-boards millions of people to the ecosystem.” How? By creating a user-friendly way to interact with the crypto economy.

On March 9, US President Joe Biden signed an executive order directing various government agencies to address the risks and harness the potential benefits of digital assets, including cryptocurrencies, and to also analyse the risks and benefits of establishing a central bank digital currency i.e. digital version of their dollar.

US President Joe Biden has branded his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin a "war criminal" over his invasion of neighbouring Ukraine.

Russians with strong social connections, who are under international sanctions for the invasion of Ukraine, have been using cryptocurrencies to launder their wealth, according to a report.

The Bank of Canada has partnered with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to work on a 12 month research project focused on the design of a Central Bank Digital Currency.

Jake Chervinsky, head of policy at crypto advocacy group the Blockchain Association, said the United States should be careful to avoid a “totalitarian nightmare” in its potential launch of a central bank digital currency, or CBDC.

Over the past two months, Bitcoin (BTC) has respected a slightly ascending trend, bouncing multiple times from its support.

United States President Joe Biden signed the Executive Order on Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets on March 9. The order had been expected for several months, giving some in the industry ample time to build up trepidation. Once the executive order, or EO, was released, however, it was met with a chorus of approval.

Crypto markets still have many puzzles, but they are beginning to reveal their secrets. The last few months of chaos show what Bitcoin and other crypto assets are good for: They are advanced tools of globalisation, luxury goods for complex, well-functioning markets — not protections against the depredations of hostile governments.

Former Federal Reserve Board governor Sarah Bloom Raskin has withdrawn her name for consideration as the central bank’s vice chair for supervision in an attempt to allow other nominations to move forward.

Regulatory hurdles and geopolitics remain at the forefront of investors’ concerns for digital assets. Notably,Bitcoin traded roughly flat over the past 24 hours. In fact, trading volume across major exchanges declined to its lowest level since 19 February. Well, this signals some caution for the traders ahead of the Fed meeting this week. Curiously, altcoin suffered the same fate.

After Bitcoin (BTC) faced its third consecutive rejection, investors became more confident in adding altcoin positions. For the leading cryptocurrency, the path to $50,000 appears more challenging than previously expected.

As Russia’s self-styled “special operation” against Ukraine continues, crippling economic sanctions remain the Western powers’ primary weapon to counter Russia’s military actions without triggering an even more dramatic escalation. As NATO and allies’ financial offensive unfolds, ensuring that the collective West presents a united front remains political leaders’ chief concern. The global crypto industry keeps getting suspicious looks as some agents of state power are seemingly entrenched in their beliefs that digital assets could be the weak spot undermining the efficiency of the sanctions push. Despite ample evidence to the contrary — including the FBI director’s Congress testimony — there are signs of increased regulatory pressure on the crypto industry participants, as well as policy initiatives that clearly capitalize on the situation to tighten state control of digital assets’ circulation.

Bitcoin reached its highest at $42,000 on March 9th when US President Joe Biden signed the executive order. It is trading above $39,000 with dominance of nearly 42 per cent over the past day.

The US has woken up to the criticality of cryptocurrency, with Joe Biden issuing an executive order on Wednesday, requiring the treasury department, commerce department and other key agencies to examine various aspects of 'the future of money' and the role of cryptocurrencies, along with assessing the risks and benefits of creating a US central bank digital currency (CBDC).On February 1, India's Union budget imposed a 30% tax on income earned
