Melania Trump Involved in Pump-and-Dump Fraud Lawsuit for Endorsing Meme Coin MELANIA

A meme coin named MELANIA has gained attention for claiming to be "official" and being promoted by First Lady Melania Trump. The coin was launched in January this year, around the time of President Donald Trump's inauguration. In April, several crypto traders filed a class-action lawsuit accusing multiple meme coin project teams, including M3M3, LIBRA, ENRON, and TRUST, of engaging in "pump-and-dump" fraud, manipulating token issuance for personal gain and causing investor losses. This Tuesday, the plaintiffs updated the lawsuit to include MELANIA as a suspected project.

The lawsuit does not accuse Melania herself of participating in the fraud but claims she inadvertently endorsed the project, acting as a "figurehead." The plaintiffs emphasized that if the First Lady's team was aware of any illegal activities related to the project, they would immediately withdraw any authorization. The White House and the defendant's lawyer have not yet responded to requests for comment.

Federal Reserve Loses Access to Separate Employment Data from Third-Party Providers

"Federal Reserve mouthpiece" Nick Timiraos wrote that Federal Reserve officials recently lost access to employment data provided by third parties. Since 2018, payroll processing company ADP has provided the Federal Reserve with a dataset containing anonymous employment and income information, covering 20% of the private sector workforce in the U.S., and the Federal Reserve typically received this data with about a week’s delay, making it a timely and comprehensive measure of employment market conditions. Sources revealed that after Federal Reserve Governor Waller's speech at the end of August drew public attention to the Fed's long-term use of ADP employment data, ADP stopped providing this data to the Fed. The specific reasons for this change are unclear. In Waller's speech, he cited ADP's data in a footnote, further illustrating his concerns about the slowdown in the labor market. The footnote indicated that preliminary estimates showed a continued deterioration in hiring conditions over the summer, and the data's time frame exceeded the coverage period of the latest government data.

Regulatory Trends

U.S. SEC and CFTC Push to Implement Crypto Regulation Plans by Year-End

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Acting Chair Caroline Pham stated that the two regulatory agencies are pushing to complete cryptocurrency regulatory milestones by the end of the year. The CFTC plans to manage "spot crypto trading and tokenized collateral" by year-end; the SEC is advancing "Project Crypto," which aims to introduce an innovative regulatory exemption system. However, the ongoing government shutdown has limited the efficiency of both agencies. The White House previously suggested that the SEC consider a crypto safe harbor and exemptions for securities issuance, while the CFTC has been authorized to regulate the spot market for non-security digital assets. Congress is also pushing for legislation to establish clear rules for the crypto industry, with the SEC hoping that relevant bills can be signed into law by year-end to clarify market boundaries and coordinate regulatory actions.

Federal Reserve Plans New Rules to Significantly Relax Capital Requirements for Large Banks

Although the outline did not provide specific forecast data, this estimated range is significantly lower than the original proposal's 19% increase in 2023 and also lower than the 9% increase proposed in last year's compromise plan. Some insiders stated that banks with larger trading investment portfolios may face smaller capital increases or even reductions.

"Father of the Currency Board" John Greenwood: We Should Steer Clear of Stablecoins and Improve Transaction Speed in the Banking System

"Father of the Currency Board" John Greenwood stated at a press conference in Hong Kong that he recommends steering clear of stablecoins, as they are essentially a stepping stone for fiat currencies to enter the crypto asset realm. He does not support the promotion of crypto assets due to their instability and unreliability, and they are often used for illegal purposes. Instead of developing stablecoins, a better approach would be to build instant transfer systems for domestic and overseas transactions to accelerate the transaction speed of the banking system.
