BlockBeats News, January 27th: The US dollar fell across the board on Monday, and the yen jumped to its highest level in over two months amid speculation of US-Japan joint intervention in the forex market following statements from the Japanese Prime Minister and the Ministry of Finance. Investors also cut their dollar positions ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting and amid expectations of President Trump announcing his pick for the new Fed chair. Concerns about another US government shutdown also weighed on the dollar. The dollar-yen pair dropped nearly 3% in the past two trading days, marking the most severe decline since the market turbulence related to last April's "Liberation Day" tariff.A source said the New York Fed had inquired with traders about the dollar/yen exchange rate, seen as a precursor to intervention. Dominic Bunning, Nomura's G10 FX strategist, said: "Clearly, if both the Japanese Ministry of Finance and the US Treasury want to cap the upside in dollar-yen, that would be a more powerful driver." A Goldman Sachs analyst said: "Given potential US involvement, we view the signal for intervention as stronger than in 2022 or 2024, making any actual intervention likely to be coordinated." "However, when the broader backdrop suggests the pressure faced by the currency is warranted, the impact of direct operations tends to be temporary." (FXStreet)

BlockBeats News, January 27th – Following a setback in negotiations on cryptocurrency market legislation in the Senate Agriculture Committee, a Democratic senator's aide stated that the Democratic side is still willing to return to the negotiating table to push for a bipartisan compromise. The aide revealed that at the beginning of the new year, Democratic members were somewhat caught off guard in the negotiations as the Republican side drafted a new version of the bill without sufficient consultation and had planned to proceed directly to markup in mid-January. In response, the Democrats hope to reengage with the committee chair, Republican Senator John Boozman's team this week before the vote, seeking to establish a bipartisan consensus.The Senate Agriculture Committee was originally scheduled to hold a markup and voting session on cryptocurrency legislation this Tuesday but was postponed to Thursday due to severe weather in Washington. Meanwhile, some Democratic lawmakers are actively pushing for a restart of negotiations to reach a bipartisan-agreed text before the hearing. The cryptocurrency market structure bill aims to establish a federal-level digital asset regulatory framework, including clarifying the regulatory roles of the SEC and CFTC and related disclosure requirements. Analysts point out that given the need for both the Senate Banking Committee and the Agriculture Committee to separately advance their respective versions of the bill, bipartisan cooperation remains a key prerequisite for the smooth progress of the legislation.
