According to The Block, there has been another personnel change at the White House regarding digital asset regulation, as Patrick Witt has concluded his term as the White House Chief Crypto Advisor. A White House official stated in an email to The Block on Wednesday that Witt's 'detail has ended' and expressed gratitude for his contributions to the Trump administration, wishing him success in the future. Previously, Crypto In America reporter Eleanor Terrett reported that Witt was an employee of the Department of Defense and held a temporary position on the White House Crypto Council. Witt led the efforts in Washington to advance the comprehensive crypto legislation known as the Clarity Act as the Executive Director of the President's Advisory Committee on Digital Assets. The House version of the bill was passed over a year ago, and he was responsible for coordinating negotiations in the Senate. However, the Senate version faces multiple obstacles, including disagreements between the banking sector and the crypto industry over the handling of stablecoin rewards, as well as how to address the conflicts of interest arising from President Trump's substantial crypto assets. The latter was a major reason why the bill failed to pass its first procedural vote last month, with Democrats concerned that the relevant provisions would not be enforceable since decisions on whether to take enforcement action against the president would be made by the Department of Justice rather than the states. Witt is the third senior crypto official to leave the White House; David Sacks, who was in charge of crypto and AI affairs, departed in March, stating that his 130-day term as a special government employee had ended, and Witt's deputy, Harry Jung, also left in July.

Bitcoin News reported on the X platform that the White House is exploring ways to acquire Bitcoin through existing federal government funding to expand the United States' strategic Bitcoin reserves. Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the President's Advisory Council on Digital Assets, told Lark Davis that purchasing Bitcoin on the open market requires Congressional authorization. The government is currently researching methods to receive or convert existing federal funds into Bitcoin. This plan aims to follow former President Trump's executive order to expand the U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserves without increasing taxpayer spending.

The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) released a de-banking report on Wednesday, indicating that some banks have established 'public and private policies' to limit services to multiple industries, including oil and gas, tobacco, firearms, and digital assets. This report was issued based on an executive order signed by President Trump in August 2025, aimed at preventing what it terms 'illegal de-banking' practices. The OCC stated that many institutions have also imposed restrictions on digital asset businesses, including issuers, exchanges, or management entities, often citing concerns over financial crimes as the rationale. However, the 47-page report did not provide specific cases of de-banking related to digital asset activities. The OCC noted that based on a review of nine large banks, it 'cannot fully quantify the overall scale of de-banking or alleged de-banking practices.' OCC head Jonathan Gould primarily discussed claims of de-banking related to coal and firearms. Gould stated that these decisions are not based on financial risks; rather, banks cite concerns over negative news, public protests, and the potential reputational consequences of supporting related industries. In November 2024, over 30 executives from the tech and crypto industries claimed they were denied banking services, informally referring to it as 'Operation Chokepoint 2.' Trump's 2025 executive order was issued following industry-related calls, amid allegations that the Biden administration may influence financial institutions to cut off certain services to crypto companies.

On October 15, according to Tasnim News Agency, Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf stated: Even if we negotiate with the U.S., reach an agreement, and sign documents with U.S. commitments, can we guarantee that the U.S. will no longer attack Iran? Undoubtedly, the answer is no. Relying solely on war and escalating tensions will not force the enemy to abandon threats and established goals. The solution is to both fight and negotiate to establish lasting deterrence. We must be prepared to fight with full force when necessary, turning military victories into political victories, and securing the interests, resources, and time needed to strengthen our power. We need to replace the cycle of war, negotiation, and peace with a new model of war, negotiation, and deterrence. Before signing the memorandum of understanding, I stated that the U.S. would not fulfill its commitments, which is why we designed it in two phases. First, we achieve strategic advantage through combat, and then we force the U.S. to accept the understanding. Our approach of fighting and negotiating does not mean endless war or perpetual negotiations, but rather putting the enemy in a difficult position through combat, compelling them to accept the legitimate demands of the Iranian people. Regarding the proposals put forth by the U.S., the U.S. President previously made commitments but has now violated them. The U.S. must be punished, change its behavior, and fully recognize that it must accept the legitimate demands of the Iranian people.

The Central Bank of Russia has included Sberbank, the country's largest bank, in the registry of institutions authorized to trade digital currencies, allowing it to buy and sell cryptocurrencies in its own name and with its own funds. Just six days ago, Sberbank was added to the list of digital custodians. Sberbank plans to launch its first cryptocurrency products on December 1 through SberBank Online, SberInvestments, and SberBusiness, initially supporting Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT issued by Tether. The specific launch time will depend on decisions made by the Central Bank of Russia and the readiness of accompanying regulations. According to relevant laws, retail investors can trade up to 300,000 rubles per year through a single intermediary and must pass a knowledge test; using cryptocurrencies to pay for goods within Russia remains illegal.

On October 15, Chicago Fed President Goolsbee stated that the U.S. September inflation data, which exceeded expectations, was disappointing, particularly as service sector inflation remains above 5%. The core goods price increase also did not retreat as anticipated, indicating that inflationary pressures may be more persistent than previously assessed. He noted that if core inflation continues to maintain an annualized monthly increase of about 4%, it would be completely unacceptable, and the Fed must take policy action. Goolsbee mentioned that it is currently unclear whether existing interest rates are sufficient to bring inflation back to the 2% target, leaning towards waiting for more data before deciding on further rate hikes. However, if inflation data continues at current levels in the coming months, the Fed cannot remain passive. He emphasized that the latest data further indicates that inflation is not a temporary phenomenon and is declining more slowly than previously expected. Goolsbee also pointed out that the U.S. labor market is very stable, economic growth is strong, consumer spending is robust, and AI investments could further overheat the economy. He stated that businesses in his district show little concern about recession risks, but are generally focused on rising costs and prices, leading him to be more worried about demand overheating than supply shocks. Goolsbee stressed that if employment remains stable while inflation continues to exceed targets and moves in the wrong direction, the Fed must take measures to prevent further overheating of the economy.
