PANews reported on November 12 that Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer of Bitwise, stated that Coinbase's launch of a new token sale platform marks a major turning point in the way capital is formed in the crypto industry. Compliant ICOs are expected to reshape the financing model in 2026 and become a key force driving a new bull market. Hougan believes that after Bitcoin reshaped "digital gold," stablecoins reshaped "digital dollars," and asset tokenization reshaped trading and settlement systems, the fourth phase of the crypto industry will be a decentralized revolution in "capital formation." He points out that Coinbase will launch one rigorously vetted token project each month, with the first being Monad (MON), whose token sale will take place from November 17th to 22nd. Hougan predicts that 2026 may see the emergence of several compliant ICOs with market capitalizations exceeding one billion US dollars. This model will create new opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors and strengthen the long-term investment logic of crypto assets.PANews reported on November 12 that Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer of Bitwise, stated that Coinbase's launch of a new token sale platform marks a major turning point in the way capital is formed in the crypto industry.

Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts?

The post Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In recent crypto news, Stephen Miran swore in as the latest Federal Reserve governor on September 16, 2025, slipping into the board’s last open spot right before the Federal Open Market Committee kicks off its two-day rate discussion. Traders are betting heavily on a 25-basis-point trim, which would bring the federal funds rate down to 4.00%-4.25%, based on CME FedWatch Tool figures from September 15, 2025. Miran, who’s been Trump’s top economic advisor and a supporter of his trade ideas, joins a seven-member board where just three governors come from Democratic picks, according to the Fed’s records updated that same day. Crypto News: Miran’s Background and Quick Path to Confirmation The Senate greenlit Miran on September 15, 2025, with a tight 48-47 vote, following his nomination on September 2, 2025, as per a recent crypto news update. His stint runs only until January 31, 2026, stepping in for Adriana D. Kugler, who stepped down in August 2025 for reasons not made public. Miran earned his economics Ph.D. from Harvard and worked at the Treasury back in Trump’s first go-around. Afterward, he moved to Hudson Bay Capital Management as an economist, then looped back to the White House in December 2024 to head the Council of Economic Advisers. There, he helped craft Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” approach, aimed at fixing trade gaps with China and the EU. He wouldn’t quit his White House gig, which irked Senator Elizabeth Warren at the September 7, 2025, confirmation hearings. That limited time frame means Miran gets to cast a vote straight away at the FOMC session starting September 16, 2025. The full board now features Chair Jerome H. Powell (Trump pick, term ends 2026), Vice Chair Philip N. Jefferson (Biden, to 2036), and folks like Lisa D. Cook (Biden, to 2028) and Michael S. Barr…
