🇺🇸 President Trump Is Seeking To Abolish The IRS 🚀

President Donald Trump has announced plans to abolish the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and replace it with an External Revenue Service (ERS), focusing on collecting revenue from foreign sources, such as tariffs.

Key aspects of this proposal include:

● Establishment of the ERS: Set to be operational from January 20, the ERS aims to charge foreign nations for trade with the U.S., ensuring they pay their "fair share."

● Elimination of Federal Income Taxes: Trump suggests that the revenue generated from increased tariffs could allow for the removal of federal income taxes.

● Appointment of Billy Long as IRS Commissioner: Former Representative Billy Long, known for sponsoring bills to abolish the IRS, has been nominated to lead the agency during this transition.

While some experts support the shift towards tariffs, others question its practicality and potential impact on the economy.

EU Regulator ESMA Orders Crypto Firms to Delist Non-Compliant Stablecoins by January 31, 2025
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has urged crypto asset service providers (CASPs) to act immediately on stablecoins.
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has urged crypto asset service providers (CASPs) to act immediately on stablecoins that do not comply with the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). ESMA's call, made on Jan. 17, gives firms until Jan. 31 to restrict or delist non-compliant stablecoins. MiCA, which will come into full effect on June 30, 2025, governs the issuance of asset-referenced tokens (ARTs) and electronic money tokens (EMTs) in the European Union, making it illegal for firms to offer stablecoins from non-authorized issuers.

While ESMA has not named specific stablecoins, major players such as Tether's USDT could face restrictions as it does not have MiCA authorization. According to the European Commission's guidance, any stablecoin issuer not authorized within the EU cannot legally offer their products in the region. Non-compliant stablecoins must be delisted or restricted to a "sell-only" basis by the end of Q1 2025.

Tether’s USDT, the largest stablecoin by market capitalization, has particularly come under scrutiny. A member of the MiCA Crypto Alliance, Juan Ignacio Ibañez, stated that USDT is considered non-compliant due to its lack of MiCA authorization and that CASPs would need to delist USDT by Jan. 31, 2025, except for "sell-only" services. Tether has acknowledged the evolving regulatory environment but has assured that discussions with local national competent authorities (NCAs) are ongoing and they do not expect immediate changes for users.

The deadline for compliance remains a pressing issue for CASPs. While ESMA has allowed firms to keep non-compliant stablecoins on a "sell-only" basis until March 31, 2025, the situation’s urgency has led to calls for quicker actions. ESMA has also emphasized the role of EU national regulators, or NCAs, in ensuring crypto firms adhere to MiCA regulations. These regulators are responsible for overseeing firms’ compliance with MiCA’s requirements. Firms that fail to comply by the end of Q1 2025 could face stricter regulations or penalties.

While the MiCA regulations aim to bring clarity to the crypto market, some uncertainty remains within the industry. Executives have expressed concerns about the interpretation of the rules, particularly about which stablecoins are compliant. As MiCA’s enforcement date approaches, many in the crypto sector seek clearer guidance from regulators.

Over 10 Crypto ETF Proposals Filed as SEC Chair Gary Gensler Prepares To Step Down
On Jan. 17, just days before Gary Gensler's final day as SEC chair, a flood of cryptocurrency ETF filings were submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)

On Jan. 17, just days before Gary Gensler's final day as SEC chair, a flood of cryptocurrency ETF filings were submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The filings come as the crypto industry anticipates a shift in regulatory approach with the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump, expected to adopt a more crypto-friendly stance.

ProShares, a well-known asset manager, filed for a Solana Futures ETF, aimed at offering investors exposure to Solana’s native cryptocurrency, SOL, via futures contracts. This marks a significant development as Solana’s futures contracts are not yet widely available. ETF analyst James Seyffart expressed uncertainty over whether Solana ETFs would launch in the U.S. before 2026. This filing follows a similar one from Volatility Shares in December, highlighting a growing interest in the asset.

CoinShares, formerly Valkyrie Funds, also submitted a proposal for a “CoinShares Digital Asset ETF,” which would track its proprietary Compass Crypto Market Index. Meanwhile, ProShares submitted filings for additional leveraged, inverse, and futures ETFs tied to XRP. Other firms like Bitwise, Canary Capital, 21Shares, and WisdomTree had already filed proposals for spot XRP ETFs.

Tidal DeFi, a firm focused on decentralized finance, filed for the Oasis Capital Digital Asset Debt Strategy ETF (DADS). This fund is set to invest in debt instruments related to crypto firms, including miners, utilities, and payment platforms. On Jan. 15, VanEck submitted its application for the “Onchain Economy” ETF, aimed at investing in a range of crypto-focused companies such as software developers, mining firms, and payment providers.

Gensler’s exit on Jan. 20 comes after a tenure marked by high-profile regulatory actions, including lawsuits against Coinbase and an aggressive crackdown on unregistered securities offerings. These filings were seen as a strategic move by the crypto industry to take advantage of the expected changes in the regulatory environment under the new administration.

The sudden surge in ETF filings came as Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst, noted, “Gensler wasn’t even out of the building for five minutes, and the ETF industry unloaded a massive crypto filing frenzy.” Alongside Gensler’s departure, SEC Chief of Staff Amanda Fischer announced her resignation, and IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel is also expected to step down on Trump’s inauguration day.

These developments indicate that the crypto industry is bracing for a potential shift in regulation, with many looking to seize opportunities in a more crypto-friendly environment.
