Kevin Hassett wants Jerome Powell off the Fed board, a move that would let Trump nominate someone to one of the FOMC's 12 votes. Powell voted for the September hike Hassett says he disagreed with, so the seat is worth one dissent until other voters move.
Reality
US crypto holders on extension must file 2025 returns by October 15 or pay a failure-to-file penalty of 5% of unpaid tax a month. The percentage applies only to tax not paid in April, so the date costs most for filers who underpaid in spring and still cannot document their cost basis.
Reality
Pretty Good Policy for Zcash has registered Divij Pandya as its sole Washington lobbyist on a $750,000 first-year budget. The move takes Zcash's policy work out of developer lab ZODL and puts it in a separate group that looks to Zcash Community Grants for its money.

BitGo CEO Mike Belshe says the Senate's 50-49 vote that stalled the CLARITY Act lets single firms keep running an exchange, a brokerage and custody together. He thinks a failure at such a venue could be worse than Lehman, and reviving the bill means finding votes it lacked in September.
Reality
Ten percent of Hill aides polled by Punchbowl News expect a digital-asset tax bill to pass before Dec. 31, 2026. Crypto firms and investors face year-end and 2027 under current rules while the House bill's $10 fee exemption and wash-sale extension wait on a crowded lame-duck Senate.

Fight Fight Fight LLC will seat the top 185 time-weighted holders of $TRUMP, a token about 97% below its peak, at a November 22 dinner with Donald Trump. Earlier rounds drew leaderboard buying that unwound once invitations went out, so the November 12 snapshot will test how much of the token's bid is for the seat.

SEC estimates its proposed crypto self-custody fallback will cost each adviser that uses it $433,833 a year, and assumes about 823 firms will. After the CLARITY Act's Senate failure, that price helps decide which advisers can hold newly launched tokens for clients.

SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, head of the agency's Crypto Task Force, resigns Oct. 2, leaving Paul Atkins and Mark Uyeda as its only two commissioners. Neither her seat nor Caroline Crenshaw's has a nominee, so crypto policy now rests on two Republican votes.

Citigroup lifted its 12-month Bitcoin target to $113,000 from $82,000 on a forecast of $5 billion in crypto inflows over the next year. A single month like June, when $4.51 billion left spot Bitcoin ETFs, would nearly cancel that forecast.

Aztec Labs is bringing back zk.money as a private DAI wallet that caps every transfer at $2,500 and all users' deposits combined at $50,000 a day. Raising either limit means a new contract that each user must opt into. The caps arrive while US law on privacy wallets remains unsettled.
Reality
Coinbase-backed Stand With Crypto named its first three Senate endorsements two weeks after the Clarity Act failed 49-50. The group funds no campaigns itself, so its main Ohio pick depends on PAC money, starting with Fairshake's $30 million pledge for Jon Husted against Sherrod Brown.
Reality
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan says the Senate's Sept. 15 failure to advance the Clarity Act helped crypto, citing Bitcoin's roughly 8% gain since the vote. Half of his case is the status quo outliving the bill, and the rest is SEC relief that future regulators can change.
Reality
US spot Bitcoin ETFs have taken in about $3.1 billion over nine trading days, lifting their year-to-date net inflows to roughly $1 billion. Ether and Zcash funds slipped into small outflows after week-long inflow runs, in sums too small to show money leaving altcoins for Bitcoin.
Reality
Bitcoin gained about 6% in September as the dollar index rose nearly 2% and the 10-year Treasury yield passed 5%. Most of that gain came from a burst of ETF buying, so allocators who treat bitcoin as a bet against the dollar are really underwriting that flow.
Reality
Spot Bitcoin ETFs took in about $3 billion over eight sessions as oil lifted Treasury yields to 2007 highs, holding Bitcoin near $84,000. Onchain profit-taking adds sellers as this week's inflation and jobs data decide which side gives first.

Korea will open its token securities market in February while the stablecoin bill needed for on-chain settlement still has no committee hearing date. Until stablecoins are linked to the securities ledger, overseas buyers must convert currency and remit through banks to buy Korean tokens.
Reality
Blockchain Association founder Kristin Smith returns as interim CEO on October 17, days after the CLARITY Act failed a 49-50 Senate cloture vote. For investors waiting on a market-structure law, the Senate count matters more to the timetable than the change at the top.
Reality
Hester Peirce exits the SEC on October 2, cutting it to two Republican commissioners with seven seats empty across the SEC and CFTC. Crypto Briefing warns that one recusal could then leave the commission short of a quorum on crypto and market rules.
Reality
US spot Bitcoin ETFs drew $2.4 billion in the week to September 25, lifting 2026 net flows to about $934 million from a $5.8 billion deficit in mid-July. That week supplied roughly a third of a $6.7 billion climb, so the recovery is two months old.

Fed proposals issued Sept. 24 would set stablecoin rules under the already-enacted GENIUS Act, nine days after the Clarity Act stalled in the Senate. Clarity's unresolved jurisdiction questions still lack a statute, and the SEC's crypto task force leader, Hester Peirce, leaves Oct. 2.
