Lane explained that this is why governments must urgently advance their long-held vision of a savings and investment union. This adds to the argument for closer cooperation among the 27 EU member states. Lane pointed out: "The Eurozones bank-centric financial system is mismatched with the scale and nature of the opportunities presented by artificial intelligence. Bank-based financing is structurally ill-suited to intangible, long-term investments, while alternative channels such as venture capital and private lending are too weak in the Eurozone." He stated that a "deeper, more integrated capital market is needed that can broaden the investor base for intangible asset-intensive projects, promote cross-border risk sharing, and reduce the need for bank financing."U.S. Interior Secretary Bergham: Asian partners seeking to purchase U.S. energy underscores the need for energy security on U.S. territory.U.S. Interior Secretary Bergham: Alaska is key to U.S. energy security, and liquefied natural gas is a high priority project; regarding Iran—Trump will resolve this issue and win.

Bitcoin falls below $19,000 as cryptos creak under rate hike risk

On Monday, cryptocurrency prices hit new lows as a result of regulatory worries and a general investor reluctance to engage in risky assets due to impending interest rate increases.


By market value, Bitcoin, the most valuable cryptocurrency, dropped almost 5% to a three-month low of $18,387.


The second-largest cryptocurrency, ethereum, lost 3% to a two-month low of $1,285 and had lost more than 10% in the previous day. The majority of the smaller tokens had larger losses.


Over the weekend, a significant update to the Ethereum blockchain—which supports the ether token—called the Merge changed how transactions are handled and reduced energy consumption.


The value of the token has decreased amid rumors that comments made last week by Gary Gensler, chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, suggested the new structure would draw further regulation. The upgrades' surrounding trades were likewise unwound.


The regulatory outlook is guesswork, according to Matthew Dibb, COO of Singapore's Stack Funds cryptocurrency platform.


Since the Merge, the markets have shed a lot of their excitement, he said. Given the uneasy global background, he said, "It's truly been a sell-the-news sort of event," and predicted that ether will test $950 in the near future.


"From a basic and technological standpoint, the current situation does not appear promising. There isn't a clear quick positive trigger that will support these markets and inject a ton of fresh cash and liquidity, in our opinion.
