According to Odaily, Federal Reserve official Neel Kashkari emphasized that the next Federal Reserve Chair must present their strongest argument, noting that they will only have one vote in decision-making processes.

According to Odaily, a recent report by J.P. Morgan indicates that after reaching a historic high of approximately $130 billion in 2025, the inflow of funds into the cryptocurrency market is expected to grow further in 2026, with an estimated year-on-year increase of about one-third. Analysts suggest that this additional capital will be primarily driven by institutional investors. J.P. Morgan notes that clearer cryptocurrency regulatory legislation, such as the U.S. Clarity Act, is likely to encourage institutional adoption of digital assets. This could lead to increased venture capital investments, mergers and acquisitions, and IPO activities in sectors including stablecoin issuers, payment companies, exchanges, wallets, blockchain infrastructure, and custodial services. The institution's projections are based on a combination of indicators, including ETF fund flows, CME futures implied fund flows, crypto venture capital fundraising, and Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) purchases.

According to foreign media reports, US President Trump stated that he had been assured that Iran would stop "killing" protesters, a statement suggesting he might postpone a military response to the Iranian protests. As a result, international oil prices fell by as much as 4% in the short term. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday, "We've been told that the killings by Iran are stopping—they've stopped. And there are no plans for executions, and no executions have been carried out." He said he would be "very disappointed" if this information proved untrue. These remarks came after Trump called on the Iranian people to continue opposing the Khamenei government and stated that he would "take appropriate action" after learning the number of protester deaths.

According to sources familiar with the matter, Trump administration officials are considering appointing Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chairman Andrew Ferguson to head the Justice Department's newly created division tasked with combating nationwide fraud. Ferguson would remain as FTC chairman. Vice President Vance stated last week that the division would be overseen by the White House and would have "nationwide jurisdiction over fraud issues." Vance also indicated that the Justice Department would create a new Assistant Attorney General position to lead related fraud investigations. This structure would blur the traditional lines between the president and the Justice Department, which already has several divisions dedicated to criminal and civil fraud investigations. The law also explicitly prohibits commissioners from "engaging in any other business, profession, or employment relationship." It remains unclear whether this provision will affect Ferguson's appointment to the new role.

The White House: Trump may soon impose broader tariffs on imports of semiconductors and their derivatives.

According to the Jerusalem Post, Iran issued an aviation notice late Wednesday night, announcing that all flights were prohibited from entering its airspace unless permitted. Flight tracking websites showed that airspace over Iran and Iraq had been quickly cleared before the notice was issued. A Western military official stated on Wednesday, "All signals indicate an impending US attack, but this is typical of this administration's approach—keeping everyone on high alert. Uncertainty is part of the strategy."
