The Final Seat on the Fed Chair Candidate List: What Is Rick Rieder's Stance on Crypto?

Former US President Trump is set to interview Rick Rieder, BlackRock’s Global Chief Investment Officer of Fixed Income, as the fourth and final candidate to potentially replace Fed Chair Jerome Powell. The shortlist also includes former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, and Fed Governor Christopher Waller. A decision is expected in January. Rieder, a longtime fixed-income expert with over 17 years at BlackRock, has publicly expressed pro-crypto views since 2020. He has described Bitcoin as a durable asset with long-term value, comparing it to gold and endorsing its role in hedging against currency devaluation. He has also disclosed personal Bitcoin holdings and led BlackRock’s early moves into Bitcoin futures and its successful spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT). If selected, Rieder could bring a more crypto-friendly stance to the Fed. He has advocated for significant rate cuts to around 3%, which may benefit risk assets like crypto. His influence could encourage further institutional adoption and support developments in tokenization, stablecoins, and DeFi. As of the latest Polymarket data, Rieder’s probability of becoming Fed chair is low at 7%, though it recently increased by 6%. The frontrunners remain Warsh (40%) and Hassett (38%). If chosen, Rieder would still require Senate confirmation—a process that could take months.

TKF Report Highlights Uncollected TDS in India from Offshore VDA Trading

A TKF Report titled "Taxation of Digital Assets in India" highlights significant uncollected TDS from offshore cryptocurrency exchange platforms, estimated at approximately ₹11,000 crore since July 2022. Of this, ₹4,877 crore pertains to the last year alone, indicating a major shift of Indian trading activity beyond the nation’s taxation framework. The Bharat Web3 Association shared the report, emphasizing that regulatory arbitrage and uneven enforcement are causing sustained revenue leakage. In contrast, the Indian government collected ₹158 crore in FY22-23, ₹180 crore in FY23-24, and around ₹450 crore in FY24-25 from domestic platforms. CoinDCX CEO Sumit Gupta previously suggested key policy changes, including reducing TDS to 0.01%, aligning capital gains tax with income slabs, and allowing loss offsetting to encourage onshore platform usage and ensure tax equity.

After 160 Trillion Won Outflow, 3,500 Listed Companies Enter the Market

South Korea has officially ended its seven-year ban on institutional cryptocurrency investment, marking a significant regulatory shift. Starting January 12, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) now allows listed companies and professional investors—approximately 3,500 entities—to allocate up to 5% of their equity into the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap. This move addresses a long-standing contradiction: while South Korea has one of the world's most active retail crypto markets, institutions were previously barred from participation. The policy change is a pragmatic response to massive capital outflows, with over 160 trillion won (roughly $1.1 trillion) moved to overseas crypto exchanges by 2025. This exodus stifled local platforms and created regulatory blind spots. The reform is part of a broader strategy to integrate crypto into the formal financial system, including plans for spot crypto ETFs. The focus has shifted from blocking institutional access to creating a regulated, compliant pathway for participation. Cryptocurrencies are now being recognized as a manageable and legitimate asset class within Korea’s financial framework.

Ripple presses SEC to lock in XRP’s post-lawsuit status

Ripple has formally requested the SEC's Crypto Task Force to adopt a legal framework that would exempt tokens like XRP from securities law once the original fundraising obligations end. The company argues that securities regulations should only apply during the initial sale where a direct legal relationship exists between issuer and buyer, not to secondary market trading. This approach aims to prevent what Ripple calls the "zombie promise" problem, where outdated issuer statements bind later buyers. Instead, mature crypto markets should be governed by commodity-style rules. The proposal aligns with Ripple's ongoing legal defense against the SEC's claim that XRP is a security. The timing is significant as U.S. crypto regulation evolves, with Congress preparing new legislation and the SEC shifting toward formal rulemaking. If adopted, this framework could permanently exclude XRP and similar tokens from SEC securities oversight.

South Korea Plans to End Corporate Crypto Ban With 5% Equity Cap

South Korea is set to lift its ban on corporate cryptocurrency investments, a policy in place since 2017. The Financial Services Commission (FSC) will allow listed companies and professional investors to allocate up to 5% of their equity to crypto assets, with final guidelines expected by January or February. Investments will be restricted to the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap and must be conducted through the country's top five exchanges. This move could inject significant capital into the market and accelerate developments like a national stablecoin initiative and spot Bitcoin ETFs. The policy aligns with South Korea's broader digital finance strategy, which includes exploring CBDCs and a licensing framework for stablecoin issuers.

Coinbase Flags Concerns Over CLARITY Bill

Coinbase has threatened to withdraw its support for the upcoming CLARITY Act, a key U.S. crypto bill, if it restricts the ability of platforms to offer rewards on stablecoin holdings beyond basic disclosure rules. The exchange argues such limitations would harm its business and competition in the stablecoin market, particularly affecting rewards programs for assets like USD Coin. This stance follows the earlier GENIUS Act, which prohibited issuers from paying yields but allowed third-party platforms to offer rewards. Coinbase claims restricting platform-based rewards would undermine previous compromises and unfairly advantage traditional banks. The issue arises as policymakers work on broader crypto market reforms, with some senators seeking a compromise that would permit rewards only for chartered banks or trust companies.

Trump "Gets Serious": Powell Faces Investigation, Interest Rate Dispute Escalates

US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has publicly accused the US Department of Justice (DOJ) of threatening criminal charges to pressure the Fed into aligning interest rate policy with former President Donald Trump's demands. In a rare video statement, Powell condemned the action as an unprecedented attack on the central bank’s independence. The investigation, initiated by the Washington DC US Attorney’s office, focuses on allegations that Powell misled Congress regarding a $250 million renovation project at the Fed’s headquarters. The conflict stems from Trump's longstanding criticism of Powell for being too slow to cut interest rates. Since returning to office, Trump has intensified pressure on the Fed to lower rates to stimulate economic growth. Market reactions were immediate, with US stock index futures falling, gold and silver prices rising, and Bitcoin holding near $91,000. Powell reaffirmed the Fed’s commitment to data-driven policy, emphasizing its mandate to ensure price stability and maximize employment, not to yield to political influence. Legal experts suggest the evidence against Powell is weak, but if charges proceed, he could face resignation or even imprisonment. Meanwhile, speculation about his potential replacements includes Kevin Warsh and Kevin Hassett, both seen as favorable to Trump’s economic agenda. The situation has raised concerns about institutional independence and potential constitutional crisis.
