PANews reported on October 30th that, according to Decrypt, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders sent a letter this week to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, warning that the Trump administration's encouragement of 401(k) providers to invest Americans' retirement savings in cryptocurrencies and private markets could have disastrous consequences. The letter points out that President Trump has recently encouraged the retirement savings industry to embrace cryptocurrencies, and that the Department of Labor has revoked the Biden administration's policy recommendation that 401(k) plans should exercise caution when investing in private market funds and high-risk assets such as cryptocurrency-related stocks and ETPs. The senators believe that the Department of Labor's efforts to legalize these financial products as safe investments are disturbing, as American workers rely on retirement savings for their later years and deserve stronger protection. This group of Democratic senators has requested that the heads of both departments provide information in the coming weeks out detailing their considerations regarding the risks of the new "dangerous" retirement savings policy.PANews reported on October 30th that, according to Decrypt, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders sent a letter this week to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, warning that the Trump administration's encouragement of 401(k) providers to invest Americans' retirement savings in cryptocurrencies and private markets could have disastrous consequences.

Adam Wainwright Takes The Mound Again Honor Darryl Kile

The post Adam Wainwright Takes The Mound Again Honor Darryl Kile appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

That personality came out last week during our Zoom call when I mentioned for the first time that I’m a Chicago Cubs fan. He responded to the mention of my fandom, “So far, I don’t think this interview is going very well.” Yet, Wainwright will return to Busch Stadium on September 19 on a more serious note, this time to honor another former Cardinal and friend, the late Darryl Kile. Wainwright will take the mound not as a starting pitcher, but to throw out the game’s ceremonial first pitch. Joining him on the mound will be Kile’s daughter, Sierra, as the two help launch a new program called Playing with Heart. “Darryl’s passing was a reminder that heart disease doesn’t discriminate, even against elite athletes in peak physical shape,” Wainwright said. “This program is about helping people recognize the risks, take action, and hopefully save lives.” Wainwright, who played for the St. Louis Cardinals as a starting pitcher from 2005 to 2023, aims to merge the essence of baseball tradition with a crucial message about heart health. Kile, a beloved pitcher for the Cardinals, tragically passed away in 2002 at the age of 33 as a result of early-onset heart disease. His sudden death shook the baseball world and left a lasting impact on teammates, fans, and especially his family. Now, more than two decades later, Sierra Kile is stepping forward with Wainwright to…

The Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, is expected to begin slashing interest rates on Wednesday, with analysts expecting a 25 basis point (BPS) cut and a boost to risk asset prices in the long term.Crypto prices are strongly correlated with liquidity cycles, Coin Bureau founder and market analyst Nic Puckrin said. However, while lower interest rates tend to raise asset prices long-term, Puckrin warned of a short-term price correction.  “The main risk is that the move is already priced in, Puckrin said, adding, “hope is high and there’s a big chance of a ‘sell the news’ pullback. When that happens, speculative corners, memecoins in particular, are most vulnerable.”Read more
