Wall Street relationshipsOne of Vance's earliest interactions with Wall Street came shortly after the November 2016 presidential election, when he headlined a lunch in New York to discuss his newly published memoir. John Underwood, a longtime managing director at Goldman Sachs, encouraged his allies to support and raise money for Vance's Senate campaign, according to people familiar with the matter. He told them the Trump campaign would need "hundreds of millions of dollars" to compete with Vice President Kamala Harris' fundraising surge. The Ohio Republican's opposition to Wall Street was on full display during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee in July. "Wall Street barons crashed the economy and American builders went out of business," Vance said in his nomination acceptance speech.

Stablecoins may be crypto's killer app, but there needs to be regulation in place to allow them to flourish – which could benefit the U.S. dollar, according to Brian Brooks, a partner at Valor Capital Group. "In many countries where you can't get a dollar bank account, stablecoins are your best solution." "If only the U.S. government would create a framework that allows dollars to back stablecoins in a regulated way, that demand would flourish," he continued. This week, payments giant PayPal launched its own dollar-backed stablecoin – a first for a major U.S. financial institution. "Demand for [stablecoin products are] a way for us to make the dollar relevant again at a time when governments around the world are looking to decouple from the dollar," said Brooks.

Brazil's central bank chief opposes creation of common currency
  + stars: | 2023-06-02 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
BRASILIA, June 2 (Reuters) - Brazil's central bank chief Roberto Campos Neto expressed his opposition on Friday to the creation of a common currency, stating that in the era of digitalization it is unnecessary to have a shared currency for its purported benefits. Campos Neto emphasized the potential power of digital solutions in providing effective alternatives. Specifically addressing the proposal of a common currency between Brazil and Argentina, which has also been previously mentioned by the government, he reiterated his opposition. "We should have a 'digital' minister, someone should be thinking about digital solutions," he added. He defended that Brazil's CBDB is much easier to regulate than other forms of CBDCs since tokenized bank deposits will be subject to the same regulations that govern traditional deposits.

Uber said Tembici and Itau bike docking stations would "soon" appear in its app, but did not provide a specific date.
