Day: September 12, 2024
The U.K. government introduced a bill to Parliament touching on the legal status of digital assets including cryptocurrencies, NFT’s and RWAs.
The bill will clarify that these assets are considered personal property under British law. Once enacted, it will give the legal profession guidelines to follow when there’s a dispute on ownership, such as during a divorce. It will also provide protection to crypto owners, whether individuals or companies, who are hit by fraud and scams. https://preview.redd.it/q0s41b0xxfod1.png?width=788&format=png&auto=webp&s=12104fd7bbefa5eb7a6f77a5b57b34d0cab8f570 submitted by /u/Lor1al [link] [comments]

U.S. Treasury Press Release on Sanctions (September 2024): Allies have intensified sanctions against Russia, targeting Russia’s financial infrastructure.
In recent days, the U.S. and its allies have intensified sanctions against Russia, particularly in response to its continued aggression in Ukraine and efforts to evade existing restrictions. On September 6, 2024, new measures were announced targeting Russia’s financial infrastructure and its ability to sustain its war efforts. The sanctions include restrictions on entities and individuals in Russia and third countries that are facilitating sanctions evasion, as well as efforts to undermine Russia’s access to international financial systems and technological resources. The U.S. Treasury and State Department have sanctioned hundreds of individuals and entities, impacting sectors such as defense, energy, and finance. Foreign financial institutions engaging with Russia’s war economy now face a heightened risk of secondary sanctions. The new actions also aim to limit Russia’s access to critical technologies and materials used in military production, such as microelectronics and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) submitted by /u/Ankle_be [link] [comments]

Private stock trading company Forge Global on Wednesday unveiled its own “private magnificent seven” of major names that draw big volume on its platform: SpaceX, OpenAI, ScaleAI, Databricks, Fanatics, Stripe and Rippling.
Forge Global said the share prices of the seven privately traded companies have outperformed the S&P 500 index’s publicly traded so-called “magnificent seven” that have fueled much of the gains in the stock market in recent years: Tesla, Apple, Nvidia, Amazon, Microsoft Corp., Alphabet Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc. Just don’t run to look for stock symbols for these assets on your trading terminals – for individual investors to trade privately-held stocks, they must qualify as an accredited investor, which is someone with a net worth of $1 million outside the value of their primary home. We can only hope for some loud IPOs in the future. I think Databricks, Stripe and Rippling may be the first to do this, because at least there have been conversations about it. So we mark the names for ourselves and wait.

From Stimulus to Stagnation: An Unexpected Turn in US Poverty Fight
In 2023, America faced a paradoxical situation: despite rising incomes, the country’s poverty rate increased. According to Census Bureau data, the share of Americans living in poverty rose to 12.9%, up from 12.4% the previous year. This increase is linked to two key factors: inflation and the expiration of aid programs introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although median household income rose to $80,610, reaching pre-pandemic levels, this proved insufficient to offset rising prices for food and other necessities. Children were particularly affected, with the poverty rate for those under 18 rising 1.3 percentage points to 13.7%. Experts note that the end of programs such as expanded tax credits for low-income families and additional nutrition assistance played a significant role in this increase. Social Security remains the most effective anti-poverty program, lifting 27.6 million people above the poverty line. However, this is not enough to compensate for the losses from the termination of other aid programs. submitted by /u/Aftermebuddy [link] [comments]
Pearls of Wisdom or Buds of Deceit? Right-Wing Figures Baselessly Claim Harris Used Audio Earrings For Debate
