Huoxun Finance reported on February 12th that Paul Atkins, Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stated in an article on the X platform that during his testimony before Congress today, he outlined the SEC's three major priorities for 2026: focusing on fraud investigation and investor protection, reforming disclosure rules, and providing a clear regulatory framework for digital assets. Atkins stated that the SEC will protect investor rights through targeted enforcement and cross-border enforcement working groups, while emphasizing the need to modernize, rationalize, and streamline the reporting system to make it meaningful and easy for investors to understand.

Huoxun Finance News, February 12th - According to Jinshi, the Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill aimed at ending Trump's tariffs on Canada. This indicates growing anxiety about the White House's economic agenda as the midterm elections, with the cost of living a central issue, approach. Although Trump has threatened to veto such measures, making the bill virtually impossible to pass, the defection of six Republicans and opposition from almost all Democrats highlight the increasingly fragile nature of Trump's slim majority in the House. Republicans are striving to retain control of both houses of Congress in November, but this task is becoming increasingly difficult due to Trump's declining approval ratings on economic and immigration issues. During the vote, Trump made it clear that any Republican who defied him on tariffs would face political consequences.
