The Federal Reserve accepted a total of $105.993 billion from 49 counterparties in its fixed-rate reverse repurchase operations.On January 1st, JPMorgan Chase stated that the US labor market has cooled after a year of economic and financial market turmoil, and is expected to show a slowdown at the start of 2026 followed by a gradual improvement in the second half. A forecast report released earlier this month by the bank indicated that the weakening momentum in job growth in 2025 can be attributed to business uncertainty caused by tariffs and trade policies. Economist Michael Ferroli stated, "Therefore, businesses continue to face difficulties in both long-term and short-term planning, with both layoff and hiring rates remaining low. When businesses lack confidence in the situation over the next six months, they tend to be cautious about large-scale increases or decreases in staff." Furthermore, the Trump administrations immigration controls and deportations have been more stringent than expected. The reduced labor supply, coupled with a relatively stable labor force participation rate, means that the monthly job creation needed to maintain a stable unemployment rate may plummet from 50,000 to just 15,000. Although the rate of job growth is slowing, the unemployment rate is expected to continue to rise gradually.U.S. Special Envoy Witkov: Focus on how to advance discussions on ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict, including strengthening security guarantees and developing a de-escalation mechanism.According to sources and shipping data, Venezuela’s remaining fuel stocks are nearing capacity limits as exports have almost come to a standstill.EIA Natural Gas Report: For the week ending December 26, total U.S. natural gas inventories were 3.375 trillion cubic feet, down 38 billion cubic feet from the previous week and down 55 billion cubic feet from the same period last year, a year-on-year decrease of 1.6%, while 58 billion cubic feet higher than the 5-year average, an increase of 1.7%.

Brother of ex-Coinbase manager pleads guilty to insider trading charge

In what U.S. authorities have dubbed the first insider trading case involving cryptocurrencies, the brother of a former Coinbase Global Inc product manager entered a guilty plea to a wire fraud conspiracy charge on Monday.


Nikhil Wahi, 26, acknowledged making transactions using secret Coinbase information during a virtual court proceeding before U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska in Manhattan.


Ishan Wahi, the former product manager, allegedly sent secret information about new digital assets that Coinbase planned to allow customers trade to his brother and their mutual acquaintance Sameer Ramani.


The assets were reportedly acquired by Nikhil Wahi and Ramani using Ethereum blockchain wallets, and were allegedly transacted at least 14 times prior to Coinbase disclosures in June 2021 and April 2022.


According to prosecutors, these disclosures often increased the value of the assets and produced profits of at least $1.5 million.


Nikhil Wahi admitted to the court, "I understood that it was improper to obtain Coinbase's sensitive information and execute transactions based on that secret information.


He said that he was aware that by entering a guilty plea, he would ultimately be removed from the country and "lose all that I have fought for."


Last month, Nikhil Wahi entered a guilty plea; however, he then altered it after reaching a deal with the prosecution. In December, he will be sentenced.


Ishan Wahi has entered a not guilty plea and will next be in court on March 22. Ramani, who was charged as well, is missing.


One of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world is Coinbase, which claims to have disclosed its findings from an internal investigation into the trade with the authorities.
