Market news: A global bond frenzy is expected to push issuance to a record $5.94 trillion in 2025.Federal Reserve Governor Barr voted against changes to the regulatory rating framework for large banks, saying the rule would “weaken regulation” and increase risks to the financial system and the broader economy.On November 6th, the Federal Reserve finalized revisions to its regulatory rating framework for large bank holding companies. The finalized framework is largely similar to the proposal released in July. The revisions included in the final framework more accurately reflect the strength of individual banks and better align the final framework with the regulatory rating system used for other banking organizations. The framework comprises three components: capital, liquidity, and governance and control. Each component has four potential ratings: broadly meeting expectations, conditionally meeting expectations, defect-1, or defect-2. The final framework will now consider companies with a defect rating of no more than defect-1 as “well-managed.” Consistent with the previous framework, companies with a defect rating of -2 in any component will continue to be considered poorly managed. Poorly managed companies face restrictions on certain activities and acquisitions.Qualcomm (QCOM.O) CEO: Data center revenue will become substantial in fiscal year 2027.Bank of Canada Governor Macklem: Monetary policy has limited effectiveness in addressing structural changes in U.S. tariffs.

Government personnel who actively engage in cryptocurrencies or are discovered to be in possession of any are prohibited from taking part in the creation of legislation and policies pertaining to cryptocurrencies, according to a recent directive from the US Office of Government Ethics.

With Some Exceptions

Additionally, the advisory notice made clear that even if the restriction is in effect, it only does so with a de minimis exception.


Owners are still able to invest in cryptocurrencies via publicly listed shares and mutual funds of businesses offering cryptocurrency and blockchain services because to this exception. Stablecoins and all other forms of cryptocurrency are included.


Government personnel are still permitted to acquire cryptocurrencies; but, doing so will prevent them from contributing to the development of crypto-related regulations.


They may still work on such initiatives, however, provided they divert their cryptocurrency holdings into other financial opportunities.


The notification went on to further describe the situation, saying "An employee may not engage in a specific topic if the employee understands that particular item might have a direct and predictable influence on the value of their cryptocurrency or stablecoins."


However, even for those who are permitted to invest in cryptocurrency-related stock index listings, a $50k threshold has been imposed over which the de minimis exemption is no longer applicable.

Crypto investors suffer a loss

The cryptocurrency market isn't in the greatest of health right now, even if the Biden administration is concentrating on creating laws for cryptocurrencies after the POTUS issued an executive order for the same.


The continued bearishness is having an impact on cryptocurrency firms as the overall market value of all cryptocurrencies is struggling to reach $1 trillion.


Voyager Digital has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy a week after stopping the platform's withdrawal, trading, and deposit services after Harmony almost went bankrupt a while back.


Thus, even without the US GOE's decision, it would only have taken these investors a little longer to leave the market, similar to how many other investors are already doing.
