Summary

President Trump has not signed the housing legislation that passed both chambers. Instead, the President has underscored his priority: the SAVE America Act. A commercial JetBlue flight hit a drone at JFK, and SpaceX may one day donate stock shares to “Trump accounts.” Former director of the CFPB Rohit Chopra is about to begin a new role as Business and Consumer Services Agency Secretary for California. He’s concerned about pricing pressures on American consumers, calling the current environment a “grocery price emergency.” Plus, head of Coinbase institutional strategy John D’Agostino discusses crypto’s tough year so far, and considers the inherent value of digital assets.
