According to BlockBeats, Caroline D. Pham, a commissioner at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), is reportedly among the candidates being considered for the position of CFTC Chair. This development comes as the agency, under new leadership, is contemplating a pause on enforcement actions initiated during the Biden administration. The potential appointment of Pham as CFTC Chair signals a possible shift in the regulatory approach of the commission. The CFTC, which plays a crucial role in overseeing derivatives markets, has been active in enforcing regulations to ensure market integrity and protect investors. However, the consideration of halting enforcement actions from the previous administration suggests a reevaluation of priorities and strategies under the new leadership. Pham's candidacy is part of broader discussions within the CFTC as it navigates changes in leadership and policy direction. The agency's decisions in the coming months will likely impact its regulatory stance and the broader financial markets. Stakeholders are closely monitoring these developments to understand how they might affect market operations and compliance requirements.

According to PANews, venture capitalist and a16z co-founder Marc Andreessen revealed on the Joe Rogan podcast that the US government had pressured banks to close accounts related to industries such as cryptocurrency.

During the hearing, Denelle Dixon, CEO of the Stellar Development Foundation, and Nathan McCauley, CEO of Anchorage Digital, both confirmed experiencing direct service cut-offs from banks. Hill emphasized that in the United States, legitimate businesses should have the freedom to access banking services.

According to Odaily, a recent survey conducted by VanEck's Head of Digital Asset Research, Matthew Sigel, sheds light on the factors influencing potential investors' decisions to increase their Bitcoin holdings. The survey results, shared on the social media platform X, indicate that 49% of respondents are waiting for a price drop before investing in Bitcoin. Meanwhile, 46% are looking for new regulatory developments, and 24% are interested in the possibility of a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve. Notably, 9% of respondents cannot envision purchasing Bitcoin at all. Respondents were allowed to select multiple options, reflecting the diverse considerations impacting investment strategies. Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan responded to these findings, offering advice to those waiting for a price decline. He suggested that individuals should determine a specific price point at which they plan to buy Bitcoin and commit to that decision. Hougan noted that over the past six years, many investors have expressed intentions to purchase Bitcoin at a certain price level, only to withdraw when the price actually reaches that point. He emphasized that the best strategy might be to invest now, but if one is convinced that prices will fall, and they are fortunate enough to witness such a decline, they should not hesitate to follow through with their plan.

FOX Business reporter Eleanor Terrett wrote on X: "U.S. CFTC Commissioner Caroline D. Pham, one of the candidates for the new chairman, pointed out that under the new leadership, suspending Biden-era enforcement actions is an issue on the table." Pham recently said, "The outlook for next year is optimistic because under the new leadership in Washington, the CFTC chairman can use this power to set the agenda, determine new rules, and suspend enforcement actions."

(Note: respondents can choose multiple options) Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan responded: "If you are 'waiting for a drop', write down the exact number of Bitcoins you will buy and stick to it. Over the past six years, I have seen many people say that they will buy when the price falls to a certain level, and then after the price falls, they will withdraw. Your best option is to buy now, but if you insist that the price is falling-and you are lucky enough to encounter a drop-please don't withdraw. "
