US Treasury Secretary Presses Senate To Pass Crypto Market Structure Legislation
Authored by Micah Zimmerman via BitcoinMagazine.com,
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told a Senate panel Wednesday that passing comprehensive crypto legislation is essential to securing U.S. financial leadership and protecting the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency, using an appearance before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government to amplify a push for legislation that has stalled on Capitol Hill for months.
Bessent testified at a hearing reviewing President Donald Trump's Fiscal Year 2027 budget request for the Department of the Treasury. During the session, a senator on the Agriculture Committee raised Bessent's recent Wall Street Journal op-ed on crypto policy, noting support for the market structure bill that cleared the Agriculture panel in January.
“When the United States leads in best practices, safety and soundness in the financial worl...

US Treasury Sanctions 14 Targets For Helping Iran Obtain Weapons
Authored by Joseph Lord via The Epoch Times,
The U.S. Treasury Department on April 21 announced that it is imposing sanctions on 14 targets “for their involvement in helping the Iranian regime obtain weapons,” in contravention of international sanctions.
“As the regime attempts to reconstitute its production capacity, the United States will continue to deplete Iran's ballistic missile inventories,” the Treasury wrote in a post on X.
According to a press release from the Treasury, the targets include 14 “individuals, entities, and aircraft” based in Iran, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates, “for their involvement in procuring or transporting weapons or weapons components on behalf of the Iranian regime.”
During the military operations in the region, the United States and Israel have sought to deplete Iran's weapons reserves, particularly targeting Iranian ballistic missile sites.
Amid these operations, the Trea...

|
|
Former Wall Street banker faces questions at confirmation hearing – but his biggest backer is also his biggest liabilityOn the face of it, Kevin Warsh looks like an ideal candidate to chair the Federal Reserve, the world's most important central bank. The 56-year-old Ivy League economist, former Wall Street banker and presidential adviser ticks all the boxes. Unfortunately for Warsh, as he faces what could be a fraught nomination hearing, his biggest backer is also his biggest liability.In his second term, Donald Trump has attacked the Fed in a manner both unprecedented and unseemly. He has called current chair Jerome Powell – whom he also appointed – a “jerk” and “a stubborn MORON”, and repeatedly threatened to fire him. Continue reading......

US Treasury Extends Russian Crude Waiver Amid Supply Disruptions
Authored by Kimberley Hayek via The Epoch Times,
The Trump administration renewed a key sanctions waiver on April 17, allowing countries to purchase Russian oil stranded at sea, responding to urgent pressure from Asian nations battered by skyrocketing energy costs.
The move also reverses a position Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had stated two days earlier.
The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control issued General License 134B on Friday, authorizing transactions tied to Russian crude and petroleum products loaded onto vessels as of that date.
The waiver runs through May 16 and replaces a previous license that expired on April 11.
The move comes after Bessent told reporters on Wednesday the administration would not extend the earlier waiver, signaling what appeared to be a firmer stance on Russian energy exports.
“As negotiations [with Iran] accelerate, Treasury wants to ensure oil is available to those wh...
