Hassett mentioned that he would consider U.S. Treasury Secretary Besent as a top candidate for the Federal Reserve Chair position.

Hassett emphasized the importance of focusing on data for the Federal Reserve Chair and indicated that interest rate decisions would be made based on his judgment.

According to ChainCatcher, the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) has recently revised its policy to permit the retail sale of cryptocurrency index ETNs and remove the warning label requirement for eligible products. This move aligns with the UK's decision to lift the retail crypto ETN ban in October 2025 and Nordea Bank's plan to offer Bitcoin ETPs in December, marking a regional shift in regulatory approaches. Data indicates that CoinShares holds a 32% share of asset management in the European cryptocurrency ETP market, with its physical platform seeing a net inflow of $1 billion since the beginning of the year. The European crypto ETN market has recorded an inflow of €2.5 billion this year. These regulatory changes expand the potential market reach, including 14 million active retail investors in the UK, nearly a quarter of adults in France holding financial investments, and 9 million private clients in the Nordic region.

According to ChainCatcher, White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett has affirmed that the Federal Reserve has room to increase interest rates by more than 25 basis points.
