According to Cointelegraph, Trish Turner has stepped down as the head of the United States Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) digital assets division, a position she held for approximately three months. Turner announced her resignation in a LinkedIn post, expressing gratitude for her two-decade-long career at the IRS. She highlighted the collaborative efforts in navigating complex challenges and establishing foundational programs for the IRS’s digital asset strategy, which has evolved from a niche focus to a mainstream concern. Turner is reportedly transitioning to the private sector, though she did not specify her next role in her announcement. However, Bloomberg Tax reported that Turner will join Crypto Tax Girl as the tax director. This move was confirmed by Crypto Tax Girl founder Laura Walter, who expressed enthusiasm about Turner’s upcoming contributions, especially in light of significant changes in crypto tax and compliance on the horizon. Turner’s departure comes shortly after her appointment in May, following the exits of Sulolit “Raj” Mukherjee and Seth Wilks, who were initially brought in from the private sector to lead the IRS’s crypto unit. Economist Timothy Peterson humorously remarked on Turner’s career shift, likening it to leaving the "Dark Side" to become a "Crypto Jedi Knight." The focus on crypto taxation in the U.S. has intensified, with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) proposing a 20% reduction in the IRS workforce in March. Additionally, the House Committee on Ways and Means and Oversight Subcommittee leadership scheduled a July hearing to discuss necessary steps for establishing a tax policy framework for digital assets. Earlier, on April 11, U.S. President Donald Trump signed a resolution overturning a rule from the previous administration that would have mandated decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols to report transactions to the IRS. Cointelegraph attempted to contact Trish Turner for further comments but did not receive a response before publication.

According to BlockBeats, Federal Reserve official Musalem emphasized the importance of focusing on the overall interest rate trajectory rather than decisions from individual meetings. Inflation remains above target levels and poses ongoing risks. The upcoming employment report may or may not justify a rate cut, depending on its specifics. The Federal Reserve's policy is moderately tightening, requiring more data and continuous adjustments to the interest rate outlook until the September meeting. While risks in the job market are increasing, they have not yet materialized. The inflationary impact of tariffs is expected to gradually diminish. The interest rate strategy may include pausing rate cuts, and if job market risks intensify, policy rates might need adjustment.

According to Foresight News, Hong Kong's Monetary Authority has issued a circular confirming the full implementation of new banking capital regulations based on the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's crypto asset standards starting January 1, 2026. These regulations will encompass not only cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum but also real-world assets (RWA) and stablecoins. Industry experts highlight Ethereum as a prime example of permissionless blockchain technology, noting that most mainstream stablecoins and an increasing number of RWAs are typically issued on public blockchains. The anticipated implementation of these new regulations is expected to impact the willingness of Hong Kong's banking system to hold such stablecoins or RWAs. However, both the Basel Committee and Hong Kong's Monetary Authority have clarified that the Basel crypto asset standards generally do not impose credit risk or market risk regulatory capital requirements on banks for crypto assets held in custody for clients. This exemption is contingent upon the separation of clients' crypto assets from the bank's own assets.
