The UK Treasury is drafting new regulations aimed at bringing cryptocurrencies and digital assets under regulation. Under the legislation, cryptocurrencies would be regulated in a manner similar to other financial products, and the legislation is expected to come into effect in 2027. The new regulations would require cryptocurrency companies to meet a range of standards overseen by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves stated that bringing cryptocurrencies under regulation is a key step in ensuring the UK remains a leading global financial center in the digital age. This move will provide clear rules for businesses, stronger protections for consumers, and keep criminals out of the UK market. Under the proposed amendments, companies offering cryptocurrency services would fall under the FCA's jurisdiction, and their services would be regulated like other financial products, including compliance with transparency standards. These companies include cryptocurrency exchanges and digital wallets, and if their services fall under UK anti-money laundering regulations, they would be required to register with the FCA.

White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said he would consider President Trump's policy opinions if selected to lead the Federal Reserve, but the Fed's interest rate decisions would remain independent. Hassett stated on CBS's "Face the Nation" last Sunday that the president has very strong and well-founded opinions on the Fed's actions. However, he added that the Fed's responsibility is to remain independent and work with its Board of Governors members and FOMC colleagues to reach a collective consensus on interest rate levels. Hassett was responding to a question about comments Trump made last Friday, in which Trump indicated he should be able to advise on the interest rates set by the Fed. For months, Trump and his senior advisors have been pressuring Fed Chairman Powell to cut interest rates while also weighing potential successors.

According to CME's "FedWatch": The probability of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates by 25 basis points in January next year is 24.4%, and the probability of keeping rates unchanged is 75.6%. By March next year, the probability of a cumulative 25 basis point rate cut is 41.9%, the probability of keeping rates unchanged is 49.8%, and the probability of a cumulative 50 basis point rate cut is 8.3%.
