Sarahbeth Maney/Pool via REUTERSAug 9 (Reuters) - Democrat Congresswoman Maxine Waters said on Wednesday she was "deeply concerned" about payment giant PayPal (PYPL.O) launching its own stablecoin in the absence of a federal framework to regulate digital assets. Earlier this week, PayPal became the first major financial technology firm to embrace digital currencies for payments and transfers with the launch of a U.S. dollar stablecoin, dubbed PayPal USD. "Given PayPal's size and reach, Federal oversight and enforcement of its stablecoin operations is essential in order to guarantee consumer protections and alleviate financial stability concerns," Waters said in a statement. Similar attempts by other well-known non-crypto companies, including Meta Platforms (META.O), to launch a stablecoin have met fierce opposition from financial regulators and policymakers around the world.

CNN —The jury hearing arguments surrounding the disposition of Aretha Franklin’s estate on Tuesday determined a 2014 version of her will should stand as the document of record.

Indeed, Biden will likely be accused of hypocrisy for playing down issues of human rights and democracy erosion under Modi, both accusations that Modi claims are false. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Joe Biden meet at the Oval Office, in September 2021. Though Modi’s administration denies it, human rights organizations say discrimination against Muslims has worsened under Modi and his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party. Officials say Biden will raise the issue of India’s human rights record and democracy backsliding, but it’s likely they will be downplayed. After all, putting human rights publicly at the heart of relations with Saudi Arabia did little more than open the region’s door to China.

We see the same images over and over, and it’s really hard to make anything different.” Kyiv, Ukraine, Feb 26.
