According to the latest annual "Presidents Economic Report" from the White House Council of Economic Advisers, "If single-family home construction and the growth in the stock of such homes had not declined significantly since 2008, but had continued at their historical pace, there would be 10 million or more single-family homes available today." Freddie Mac, a government-controlled company, stated in November 2024 that based on demand driven by population growth, the U.S. housing supply gap is 3.7 million units. The National Association of Realtors, in June 2021, estimated the housing gap at 5.5 million units based on trends over the past 20 years compared to the construction rate between 1968 and 2000. This report comes as policymakers in Washington are trying to demonstrate to voters that they are taking action on high housing prices. High housing costs are a key issue in the upcoming midterm elections, with affordability expected to be a central theme.

Dutch central bank fines Binance 3.3 million euros

The Dutch central bank (DNB) on Monday said it had fined Binance, one of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges, 3.3 million euros ($3.35 million) for offering services in the Netherlands without being registered in the country.


The fine was issued against Binance Holdings Ltd. in April 2022, following a public warning issued against Binance in August 2021, DNB said. The bank said in a statement that Binance in June had indicated it would appeal.


The DNB said Binance had been in violation of Dutch money-laundering laws and had enjoyed a competitive advantage against companies that do have a DNB registration during the period it was in non-compliance — between at least May 2020 and Dec. 1, 2021.


A spokesperson for Binance said in an emailed reaction the fine marked a “pivot in our ongoing collaboration” with the DNB.


The spokesperson said the company has since set up a local company branch, Binance Nederland BV.


“With this now behind us, we can continue pursuing a more traditional operating model in the Netherlands,” they said.


The DNB said it has not yet approved Binance’s registration but it had lessened the fine it had originally intended by 5% because the company has “been relatively transparent about its operations throughout the process”.


Binance said it had received regulatory approvals in European countries including France, Italy and Spain.


The Binance spokesperson and a spokesperson for the DNB did not answer questions about where Binance Holdings Ltd. is based.


According to Dutch Chamber of Commerce filings, Binance Nederland BV was established in October 2021 and has been owned by Binance Holdings Ltd. Of Ireland since Dec. 24, 2021.
