Yellen: US economy strong, not overheated
Despite a weaker-than-expected first-quarter GDP reading, the US economy is “firing on all cylinders” and inflation is on a path toward a more normal level, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Thursday in an interview with Reuters. Yellen on Thursday was interviewed by Reuters’ editor in chief Alessandra Galloni as part of the news organization’s NEXT Newsmakers series. “The economy is clearly performing very well,” Yellen said. “I certainly don’t see it as overheated.” Earlier on Thursday, the Commerce Department reported that the US economy grew by an annualized rate of 1.6% during the first ...

SEC SUED OVER ETHEREUM, CRYPTO FIRM ASKS COURT TO STATE TOKEN IS NOT A SECURITY “The SEC’s unlawful seizure of authority over ETH would spell disaster for the Ethereum network, and for Consensys. Every holder of ETH, including Consensys, would fear violating the securities…Consensys sues the SEC in defense of the Ethereum ecosystem Consensys, the leading blockchain and web3 software technology company, today filed a lawsuit (the "complaint") against the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to ensure that Ethereum remains a vibrant and indispensable blockchain platform and the foundation for countless new web3 innovations, technologies, and products. The complaint highlights how the SEC is attempting to unlawfully regulate ether through ad hoc enforcement actions against Consensys and possibly others -- the latest examples of aggressive and unlawful SEC overreach.

The complaint seeks the Court's confirmation that the SEC has no legal authority to regulate ether, user-controlled software interfaces built on Ethereum, or the Ethereum blockchain in general on the basis that: The SEC only has jurisdiction over securities, and up until recently has agreed that ether, the digital good that permits users to access and transact on the Ethereum network, is not and should not be treated as a security. The SEC has no legal authority to regulate the technological evolution of the in
