Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban is skeptical about Trump and Biden’s understanding of crypto. However, he believes Biden may lose ground due to Gary Gensler, the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s chief, who is well-known for his tough stance on the crypto industry.

In its statement, the Bank of Japan indicated it will continue to raise rates and adjust the degree of monetary easing, but the forward guidance language showed limited changes from the July statement, without sending notably more hawkish signals.
