He advocates for the U.S. to establish enduring and non-restrictive cryptocurrency regulations, even if it takes longer.

These radicals and weaponized NGOs are driving foreign government censorship suppression—targeting American speakers and American companies every time. Therefore, their entry into the U.S. could have serious negative diplomatic policy consequences."Reports indicate that Breton served as an EU commissioner from 2019 to 2024, and this action stems from Breton threatening compliance with the Digital Services Act (DSA) in 2024 due to Musk's unmoderated interview with Trump on the X platform, escalating tensions between the U.S. and the EU over digital regulation and freedom of speech.

According to an analysis by Zhongke Lian'an, the People's Bank of China held a coordination meeting on combating virtual currency trading speculation on November 28, in conjunction with the Ministry of Public Security, the Central Cyberspace Administration, and a total of thirteen departments.The lineup of this meeting is noteworthy. Compared to the ten ministries involved in the "924 Notice" of 2021, the addition of the Central Financial Office and the National Financial Regulatory Administration, as well as the Ministry of Justice, signifies that China's regulation of virtual currencies is transitioning from sectoral collaboration to comprehensive system governance.Analysis indicates that this change will reshape the regulatory landscape on three levels: Upgraded Coordination Framework: The involvement of the Central Financial Office will promote regulation from departmental collaboration to a higher-level cross-sector coordination, forming a synergy of policies and resources. Deepened Regulatory Framework: The inclusion of the National Financial Regulatory Administration means that regulation will shift from basic monitoring of capital flows to precise identification and professional investigation of illegal financial activities. Improved Legal Framework: The addition of the Ministry of Justice will promote regulation from being dominated by administrative documents to a stronger legal application and enforcement connection, solidifying law enforcement authority.In addition, the meeting clearly identified "stablecoins" as the core target of this crackdown and emphasized a focus on "information flow and capital flow," aiming to build a technology-driven full-chain monitoring system, demonstrating the regulatory body's determination and means to comprehensively upgrade the crackdown on illegal activities related to virtual currencies.Previously, the People's Bank of China held a coordination mechanism meeting to combat virtual currency trading speculation.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi Data reports, the U.S. Department of Justice has presented new arguments regarding why President Trump should be allowed to dismiss Federal Reserve Board member Lisa Cook, claiming that her statements about the "excuse for interest rate cuts" are baseless. Cook has been accused of mortgage fraud and is currently challenging the dismissal decision.On Thursday, U.S. government lawyers urged the judge once again to dismiss Cook's request to prohibit her dismissal during the litigation, reinforcing the arguments made at last week's hearing. Hours before this legal filing, reports emerged that the Department of Justice has launched a criminal investigation into Cook. The U.S. government argues that the fraud allegations first raised by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Mark Calabria constitute sufficient "grounds" under U.S. law for Trump to fire her.In Thursday's filing, the Department of Justice emphasized that the judge should not "question" Trump's judgment regarding the grounds for dismissal and reiterated that her alleged dismissal was merely an excuse to control the Federal Reserve and cut interest rates. "Her only 'evidence' is that the president has criticized the Federal Reserve's policies," the document states, "but mere policy disagreements do not mean the president dismissed Cook for that reason."
