The US Supreme Court ruled to prevent President Trump from removing Cook from office, reaffirming the protections granted to Federal Reserve governors by Congress. This means the president cannot easily remove a Federal Reserve governor on controversial grounds, thus limiting the space for pressuring the Fed through replacements and providing institutional guarantees for Warsh to lead the Fed more independently. The analysis points out that if the president could easily dismiss a Federal Reserve governor and replace him with a like-minded official, the Feds independence would be severely weakened, and Warsh would find it difficult to manage the institution. Investment manager Mark Spindall stated that allowing the president to remove governors on flimsy grounds and fill the vacancies with "loyalists" would undermine Warshs ability to focus on achieving the Feds policy objectives. However, the report believes that this ruling does not completely eliminate the possibility of presidential pressure on the Fed; the Feds future independence still depends on how Trump treats Warsh, whom he personally appointed, and whether the Supreme Courts 5-4 ruling will be upheld in future cases.Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister: Experts from Iran and Oman will begin talks on this matter in the coming days.

Bitcoin Is Now Legal Tender In the Honduran Special Economic Zone

Officials from a special economic zone on a tourist-oriented island off Honduras' Caribbean coast announced on Thursday that bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies had been accepted as legal cash.


The special zone, dubbed "Honduras Prospera," was created in 2020 to stimulate investment and enjoys administrative, fiscal, and budgetary autonomy.


In a statement, Honduras Prospera stated, "Prospera's flexible regulatory framework facilitates crypto-innovation and the usage of Bitcoin by citizens, enterprises, and governments."


Municipalities, local governments, and foreign corporations will be able to issue bitcoin bonds under the authority of the economic zone.


Honduras Prospera encompasses sections of the beautiful island of Roatan as well as the city of La Ceiba on Honduras' Atlantic Coast.


El Salvador, a neighboring nation, became the first government in the world to accept bitcoin as legal cash in September, despite a rocky rollout and widespread public mistrust.


The Central Bank of Honduras has said that it cannot guarantee for bitcoin transactions.


"Any transaction involving this form of virtual asset is carried out at the risk and responsibility of the individual carrying it out," the bank said in a March statement in response to questions on Thursday.
