According to The Block, the Washington think tank Cato Institute published an article criticizing the current Bitcoin tax policy in the United States. Researcher Nick Anthony pointed out that the current tax framework treats Bitcoin as "property" rather than "currency," requiring users to calculate capital gains or losses for each transaction individually, even for everyday small purchases. This makes tax reporting extremely cumbersome and effectively hinders the adoption of Bitcoin as a payment tool.In response, the Cato Institute proposed several reform suggestions, including completely eliminating the capital gains tax on cryptocurrency payments and introducing a tax-free threshold for small transactions. The report also mentioned the existing "Virtual Currency Tax Fairness Act," which aims to exempt cryptocurrency transactions under $200, but Anthony believes this threshold is too low to cover the actual spending levels of consumers. Currently, the Trump administration has expressed support for establishing a small tax exemption for cryptocurrency transactions and will continue to evaluate related legislative options.

Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett posted on social media that Kraken, the second-largest crypto exchange in the U.S., has just accomplished something no other crypto company has done before—obtaining key access qualifications from the Federal Reserve.Kraken's banking division, Kraken Financial, has received approval from the Kansas City Fed to open a master account with the Federal Reserve. This marks the first time a native crypto company has gained (albeit with limited permissions) direct access to the Federal Reserve's payment system.This approval comes five and a half years after Kraken submitted its application to the Kansas City Fed in October 2020. The account allows Kraken to directly access the Federal Reserve's payment system, but does not include the right to use the Fed's lending tools. The company can hold reserves and settle with central bank funds, but cannot issue loans, use the discount window, or operate as a traditional commercial bank.According to sources, Kraken's approval is seen as a pilot project to test this new model. This decision is historically significant for the crypto industry, which has long been excluded from the traditional banking system, and indicates a shift in the Federal Reserve's stance. This move could trigger a wave of applications from other crypto companies seeking master accounts with the Federal Reserve. Custodia Bank, Anchorage, and Ripple's U.S. banking partner have all applied for master accounts.

Senator Warren called the application "the most despicable" presidential corruption scandal, pointing out that the UAE National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan's related investment firm invested $500 million in WLFI four days before Trump took office, acquiring a 49% stake, of which approximately $187 million flowed to Trump family entities.Warren urged Gould to reject or suspend the review of the application, stating that approval would make him "an accomplice to corruption." Gould, however, refused to intervene, stating that he would process the application according to standard procedures and countered that the only political pressure felt came from Warren. 41 House Democrats had previously written to the Treasury Secretary, warning that approving the license could threaten "the legitimacy of the U.S. banking system and its independence from foreign actors."

Cathie Wood posted on the X platform that, according to ARKInvest's research, the most profound application of AI will be in healthcare. Deregulation is accelerating this transformation in the healthcare sector. The science of assessing drug efficacy has made significant progress, with R&D projects collecting evidence from multiple dimensions such as mechanisms of action, biomarker effects, and intermediate endpoints. This verifiable evidence, ranging from mechanistic data to real-world evidence, can replace the second pivotal trial.Historically, there has been considerable regulatory flexibility in the fields of rare diseases and oncology. It is expected that the change from two trials to one will have the greatest impact in common disease areas such as cardiovascular and respiratory conditions, with each project potentially saving up to $350 million in costs and shortening the R&D cycle by several years.
