BRICS REALIZE THEY CANNOT CHALLENGE THE US DOLLAR
The US dollar started 2025 with a bang leaving local currencies of BRICS countries distantly behind in the charts. The DXY index, which tracks the performance of the US dollar shows the currency crossing the 110 mark.
The US markets are confident that Trump’s re-e------n could turn the fortunes of America and bring economic prosperity. The same positivity is lacking in developing countries as their local currencies are being hammered by the raging US dollar.
The BRICS alliance, which kick-started the de-dollarization agenda is now reeling under pressure from the US dollar. BRICS country India’s local currency, the rupee, has fallen to a lifetime low of 86.68 this week. The rupee fell four trading sessions in a row as the USD trampled the currency in the charts. Currency experts predict that the Indian rupee could fall to 90 to 92 levels in the next 10 months.
BRICS No Challenge to the US Dollar
The US dollar is strengthening in the indices with the massive inflow of funds entering the American markets. Institutional investors offloaded most of their overseas funds and are now taking entry positions in the US markets.
The belief that Trump’s rule could bring fortunes has reached a peak in 2025. The first instance of the market gaining steam occurred immediately after he was declared the winner in November. This puts BRICS on the back foot as it stands no chance to challenge the US dollar during Trump’s tenure.
Trump has already threatened BRICS with 100% tariffs if they plan to abandon the US dollar for trade. The alliance is now left with obeying his demands as a tariff increase will only hurt their economies.

RAMASWAMY EXITS DOGE FOR OHIO GOVERNOR BID, LEAVING MUSK AS SOLE HEAD
Vivek Ramaswamy said on X he was leaving the Department of Government Efficiency and was “confident that Elon and the team will succeed in streamlining government.”
Entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy will no longer co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) alongside Elon Musk, and is reportedly opting to run for Ohio governor instead.
“It was my honor to help support the creation of DOGE,” Ramaswamy said in a Jan. 20 X post. “I’m confident that Elon and the team will succeed in streamlining government.”
Ramaswamy didn’t elaborate on his future plans, but CBS News and The New York Times were among the US media outlets reporting that the business leader and author would soon announce he is running run for governor of Ohio.
Ramaswamy said that he’d “have more to say very soon” while reaffirming his support for President Donald Trump.

“Vivek Ramaswamy played a critical role in helping us create DOGE. He intends to run for elected office soon, which requires him to remain outside of DOGE based on the structure that we announced today,” DOGE spokesperson Anna Kelly told the Associated Press.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine’s second — and legally his last — term will end in January 2027.
On Jan. 18, Ramaswamy re-shared an X post from a parody account using this likeness that stated he was running for governor of Ohio, with the pro-crypto Republican commenting that it wasn’t “a bad idea.”
Politico reported that Musk made it known that he wanted Ramaswamy out of DOGE in recent days. A Republican strategist close to Trump’s advisers told Politico that Ramaswamy “just burned through the bridges and he finally burned Elon. Everyone wants him out of Mar-a-Lago, out of D.C.”
The move was driven in part by Ramaswamy’s criticism of American culture. In December, he made a post on X stating that tech companies hire foreign workers partly because of a mindset that has “venerated mediocrity over excellence.”
The now-solely Musk-led advisory organization, named after his favored cryptocurrency Dogecoin, was officially created through one of a slew of executive orders that Trump signed on his first day in office.
DOGE is already on the firing line as it was hit with lawsuits from consumer advocate group Public Citizen and other nonprofit groups minutes after Trump took office.
The lawsuits allege that DOGE violates the Federal Advisory Committee Act by allowing private individuals to make government decisions without proper transparency and oversight.
DOGE, which was announced by Trump soon after his e-------l victory in November, is designed to slash federal spending through budget cuts and mass firings.

=======================================
SEC LAUNCHES CRYPTO TASK FORCE TO DEVELOP CLEAR REGULATION
In a recent announcement, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced the launch of a brand new crypto task force. Specifically, the agency is set to develop “a comprehensive and clear regulatory framework for crypto assets,” according to a recently released press release.
The announcement is part of the expected changes to come from the incoming administration. With Donald Trump officially inaugurated into office Monday, he announced the appointment of Mark Uyeda as acting chair of the agency. His presence comes following former Chair Gary Gensler’s resignation this week.
SEC Launching Crypto Task Force to Develop New Regulatory Framework
For the last several years, the SEC has developed a rather contentious relationship with the digital asset sector. Under the former Biden Administration, the agency adopted a regulation-by-enforcement approach. As a result, companies like Ripple found themselves engaged in years of court battles with the agency.
Yet, that has begun to change today. With Donald Trump beginning his second non-consecutive term as US President Monday, the SEC has announced the launch of a crypto task force dedicated to the formulation of a clear regulatory framework for which the industry will be governed.
Chairman Uyeda announced the framework, with Commissioner Hester Peirce set to lead it. “Drawing from talented staff across the agency, the Task Force will collaborate with Commission staff and the public to set the SEC on a sensible regulatory path that respects the bounds of the law,” the agency said.
Additionally, they noted things like clear regulations and a pathway to registration “have been elusive.” Moreover, they noted, “The SEC can do better.” The task force appears to be the first step in that pursuit. It could be the beginning of the United States’ path to being a global crypto leader.

NO CRYPTO FOCUS IN TRUMP’S 200 EXECUTIVE ORDERS: WHAT’S NEXT?
▪️ Trump’s first 200 executive orders did not include any clear actions related to Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies.
▪️ David Bailey hinted at potential crypto-related content but admitted uncertainty about the specifics.
▪️ The crypto community was disappointed as Trump prioritized energy, immigration, and security over digital assets.
US President Donald Trump signed his first 200 executive orders shortly after assuming office. However, despite speculation and expectations from the crypto community, none of these orders were related to virtual assets like Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.

David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine and former cryptocurrency advisor to the Trump campaign, shared his insights on X (formerly Twitter), stating:
“Got confirmation tonight that our EOs are among the first 200.”
However, he admitted uncertainty about the specifics. “I have no idea what made it in, but good news cometh,” he added.
Interestingly, the crypto community had hoped for stronger signals from the administration. Rumors before Trump’s inauguration suggested that he might prioritize cryptocurrency, perhaps even declaring it a national priority or establishing a Bitcoin reserve. But these ambitions did not materialize.
No Crypto in Trump’s First-day Executive Orders
On his first day, Trump directed his attention to immigration, energy, and federal operations. Key actions included reversing Biden’s restrictions on oil drilling and announcing, “We will extract as much oil as we can.” He also withdrew the US from the Paris Climate Agreement, a global initiative to combat climate change.
In another notable move, Trump signed a decree granting TikTok an additional 75 days to find a US buyer, allowing its operations in the country to continue temporarily. While this decision aimed to address security concerns, critics noted the absence of actions supporting the burgeoning crypto industry.
Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett expressed disappointment, tweeting:
“No Day 1 executive orders on #crypto or industry-related pardons, then?”
This sentiment echoed across the crypto community, which had anticipated early moves to recognize or regulate digital assets.
A Shift in Focus, a Missed Opportunity?
Cryptocurrency advocates were left questioning why digital assets, widely viewed as transformative, were left off the agenda. Before Trump’s term, some hoped he would pardon Ross Ulbricht, the Silk Road founder serving a life sentence. However, no such measures emerged.
During his inaugural speech, Trump remained silent on the topic of cryptocurrencies, further deepening concerns. David Bailey reassured enthusiasts by saying that their [our] “decrees are coming too”, suggesting that virtual assets might gain attention later in Trump’s presidency.
Despite the initial absence of crypto-focused orders, the speculation surrounding Trump’s approach to digital assets highlights the growing importance of cryptocurrency in national policy discussions. For now, the crypto world watches and waits, hopeful for future recognition and regulation.

HESTER PEIRCE TAPPED TO LEAD SEC’S NEW CRYPTO TASK FORCE
Acting SEC chair Mark Uyeda appoints Hester Peirce to lead a task force focused on crypto regulations and market integrity.
▪️ The SEC has formed a Crypto Task Force under Commissioner Hester Peirce to establish proactive regulation and clear legal standards.
▪️ The initiative aims to support innovation while addressing industry confusion over previously enforcement-focused approaches.
The SEC has established a Crypto Task Force under the leadership of Commissioner Hester Peirce, with Acting Chairman Mark T. Uyeda announcing the initiative on Tuesday.
Richard Gabbert and Taylor Asher will serve as Chief of Staff and Chief Policy Advisor, respectively, bringing together experts across the agency to work with Commission staff, industry participants, and the public.
“The SEC has relied too heavily on enforcement actions to regulate crypto, often adopting untested legal interpretations,” Uyeda said.
The task force seeks to move toward proactive regulation by establishing clear legal standards, creating practical registration pathways, and maintaining market integrity while supporting innovation.
The announcement comes as Uyeda serves as interim SEC Chair until Paul Atkins assumes the role under President Donald Trump’s administration.
The initiative aims to address industry confusion resulting from the SEC’s previous enforcement-focused approach by developing clear regulatory guidelines and disclosure frameworks for crypto assets.
