Bitcoin, Ethereum Lead US Congress Members' Crypto Holdings Under STOCK Act Disclosure

Gate News message, April 21 — Under the 2012 STOCK (Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge) Act, members of US Congress and other government employees must disclose cryptocurrency, stock, and bond trades exceeding $1,000 within 45 days of execution. Public disclosure is designed to prevent insider trading and market manipulation. Bitcoin remains the most favored cryptocurrency among lawmakers. Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis, a prominent voice on crypto policy, made her first BTC purchase in 2013. Other Bitcoin holders include Senators Ted Cruz and Dave McCormick, as well as Representatives Byron Donalds, Guy Reschenthaler, and Sheri Biggs, with individual holdings reported as high as $250,000. Some lawmakers including Senator Sheldon Whitehouse have gained Bitcoin exposure through investments in Bitcoin-related companies such as PayPal, BlackRock, and The Block (formerly Square), while others hold Bitcoin ETFs from Valkyrie and VanEck. Ethereum ranks second among congressional holdings. Representatives Mike Collins (holding up to $60,000) and Barry Moore, along with Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and Senator Dave McCormick, have disclosed ETH positions or Ethereum ETF investments. Solana (SOL) and XRP, both reported by Representative Guy Reschenthaler, each valued at up to $15,000, rank third and fourth respectively. Cardano (ADA) ranks fifth, disclosed by Representatives Barry Moore and Mike Collins, with Barry Moore's holdings worth up to $45,000. Beyond the top five, lawmakers have also invested in lesser-known cryptocurrencies including Ski Mask Dog (SKI), The Graph (GRT), Velodrome (VELO), Aerodrome Finance (AERO), and LGB Coin. In the past 24 hours, most of these cryptocurrencies have gained between 1.8% and 4%, with SKI declining 2.86%.

Retail Investors Return to U.S. Stock Market with Strongest Rally Since 2020, S&P 500 Breaks 7,000

Gate News message, April 17 — Retail investors have returned to the U.S. stock market with their strongest rally since November 2020, pushing major indices to record highs despite ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The S&P 500 broke through the 7,000-point milestone on Wednesday, marking its first all-time high since late January, and has surged 11% since March 30. According to Goldman Sachs' basket of retail-favored stocks, which tracks the most popular holdings among individual investors, the index has climbed 22% since late March. Roundhill Investments CEO Dave Mazza commented, "Animal spirits have not only returned, but they have returned with much greater ferocity." Quantum computing stocks have led the rally, with IonQ Inc., D-Wave Quantum Inc., and Rigetti Computing Inc. each posting gains exceeding 40% this month. The Roundhill Meme Stock ETF (MEME), which trades under that ticker, has surged 51% since March 31. Market sentiment shifted as the United States and Iran considered extending a ceasefire agreement by two weeks. Despite significant damage to Persian Gulf energy infrastructure and the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, major global stock exchanges have largely erased losses since the conflict began. Tech giants have regained control of market direction, with one company known for athletic footwear surging 582% in a single day following announcements related to artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives. However, underlying economic risks persist. Oil prices remain elevated above $90 per barrel, pressuring inflation expectations and monetary policy outlook, particularly after consumer price index (CPI) data—which measures changes in prices paid by consumers—recorded its largest monthly increase since 2022. Miller Tabak + Co. Chief Market Strategist Matt Maley warned, "Middle East issues and risks in areas like private credit markets have not disappeared, so current market dynamics are indeed concerning." Barclays' Chief of Global Equity Tactical Strategy Alexander Altmann noted that retail fund flows have rebounded sharply since early April and have been supporting daily capital movements since April 8. Looking ahead, retail buying is expected to accelerate after the April 15 tax filing deadline, as investors anticipate higher refunds under the Trump administration's tax policies. Altmann stated in a Thursday client report, "You can call it a return of animal spirits—or, given the Iran conflict backdrop, perhaps you can choose not to. Either way, retail fund flows are undeniably an important component of broader U.S. equity dynamics."

美国基督教社区接受加密货币什一税，教育组织规模自2022年近翻倍

Gate News 消息，3 月 28 日，美国正兴起一种基督教加密亚文化，涵盖教会接受数字货币缴纳什一税、博主宣传比特币符合圣经教义等现象。致力于向教会普及数字资产的非营利组织 Thank God for Bitcoin 表示，其年度会议规模自 2022 年以来已近翻倍。尽管比特币价格已从 2025 年 10 月 12.6 万美元的高点回落至目前的 6.9 万美元左右，但该社区活跃度依然显著。相关支持者认为比特币是摆脱通货膨胀和美联储干预的一种手段；部分开发者表示，对比特币的兴趣部分源于信徒对因宗教或政治立场被去银行化的担忧。与此同时，该趋势也伴随着争议与风险。科罗拉多州检察官此前指控一名牧师通过其创建的加密货币诈骗投资者逾 300 万美元。此外，传统财务专家 Dave Ramsey 对此趋势持批评态度，将其与投资 Beanie Babies（美国 90 年代投机泡沫代名词）类比。

Private equity insider gets stunning wake-up call that turns her into an advocate for women’s wealth ==================================================================================================== Victoria Vesovski Thu, February 19, 2026 at 4:00 AM GMT+9 7 min read In this article: NTRS At some point, almost everyone gets a wake-up call. It could be job loss, the death of a loved one or the realization that the life you thought you were building isn’t the one you’re standing in anymore. That moment came abruptly for Steph Wagner, National Director of Women & Wealth at Northern Trust and author of _Fly! A Woman’s Guide to Financial Freedom and Building a Life You Love_ (1). In an exclusive interview with _Moneywise_, Wagner shared her wake-up call. It was when she learned that her husband, the father of her three young sons, was having an affair. The revelation didn’t just fracture her marriage. It exposed something else she hadn’t expected: how far removed she had become from her financial life — even as someone who had helped others build financial security and wealth in her private-equity career. “I love this stuff and I let this happen to me,” she said. Must Read --------- * Dave Ramsey warns nearly 50% of Americans are making 1 big Social Security mistake — here’s what it is and 3 simple steps to fix it ASAP * Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how * I’m approaching retirement with no savings. Should I panic? Here are 6 easy ways to catch up (and fast) One of the reasons Wagner wrote her book and shared her own story was to support others through similar shocks. “How is that average woman feeling who never learned about this stuff that buries her head in the sand? How is she feeling at moments like this?” As she reveals in the book, while it’s hard to prepare for the emotional fallout of such wake-up calls, surviving — and eventually thriving — depends on whether you have a firm grip on your personal finances. Sacrificing your income comes with more than financial costs ------------------------------------------------------------ Wagner didn’t feel like she had a firm grip when she learned about her husband’s affair. She admits she’d been losing touch with her financial health over the course of 14 years. It started when she turned down a work assignment to evaluate a business deal in rural Alabama. She was pregnant, had a two-year-old at home and a husband constantly travelling for work. She walked away from the assignment — and her job. “I lost my earning power that day,” she said. “I always thought I could get it back, but I began to slowly give away my agency around money.” As caregiving took priority, Wagner became less involved in the mechanics of her financial life. She said this is a common, and troubling, scenario for many women. It’s not only about loss of income, but the emotional trade-offs that come with becoming financially dependent on someone else. Story continues It also means losing opportunities for all sorts of growth — including personal growth — as financial security is tied to the ability to plan, imagine and take risks. A Bank of America study on women and financial wellness found that nearly all women expect to be financially responsible for themselves at some point in adulthood. Yet their financial confidence doesn’t keep pace with that expectation. The study revealed that while 92% of women feel comfortable managing day-to-day tasks like paying bills and sticking to a budget, only 36% were comfortable saving for retirement and a mere 27% were confident about investing (2). **Read More: The average net worth of Americans is a surprising $620,654. But it almost means nothing. Here’s the number that counts (and how to make it skyrocket)** Women taught to believe money is ‘complicated’ ---------------------------------------------- Wagner ties women’s lack of confidence around money to an undue sense of shame. They may feel embarrassed that they don’t know everything about how money and investments work. “It's been ingrained in us that this is complicated,” Wagner said. She adds that this sense of shame is instilled through “money messages” — laws, lessons, cues and assumptions that a woman absorbs before she opens her first bank account. For example, until the _Equal Credit Opportunity Act_ was signed into law in the U.S. 1974, banks could legally deny American women access to credit. Unmarried women could be refused a credit card outright, while married women often needed a husband to co-sign. That restriction limited generations of women’s ability to build credit impacting everything from mortgage approval to borrowing costs and access to financial products. Research by Ylva Baeckström, a senior lecturer in finance at King’s Business School, confirms that differences in women’s financial confidence, risk tolerance and knowledge are situational, not inherent (3). Taken together, those forces help explain why so many women end up stepping back from financial decisions, even when they’re fully capable of making them and why reclaiming confidence often starts not with numbers, but with unlearning the messages that shaped their relationship with money in the first place. How can women rebuild financial agency? --------------------------------------- In _Fly!_, Wagner argues that rebuilding agency starts with understanding the full picture of your finances — what you earn, what you spend, what you owe and what you’re building. Research shows that 75% of women still don’t have a formal financial plan. Working with a financial advisor can help, she says, but it’s only part of the equation. A long-term plan also has to reflect everyday decisions, including how money actually moves in and out of your account each month. When it comes to budgeting, Wagner takes a different approach. “I don’t believe in budgets,” she said. “I feel like budgets set us up to fail.” Instead, she uses a simple bucket system designed to balance structure with flexibility. Under her 45-20-35 framework: * 45% of take-home pay goes toward fixed costs like housing, transportation, utilities and insurance * 20% is directed toward future goals including saving, investing and paying down debt. * 35% is reserved for living, the spending that supports day-to-day life without guilt. That flexibility is intentional. Wagner favors tools over rigid rules, an approach she says helps people stay engaged with their money, whether they’re rebuilding in midlife or learning to manage finances for the first time. When asked what she still splurges on, Wagner laughed before giving an answer she knows is well worn. “This seems like such a cliché,” she said. “But I'm still going to say it. Starbucks.” Her order: a venti latte, no foam, with cinnamon and sugar. She doesn’t sidestep the math. Over 15 years, she notes, a daily luxury like that could cost upwards of $50,000. Still, she rejects the idea that financial health requires eliminating small pleasures altogether. Some expenses, she says, are non-negotiable not because they’re cheap, but because they support long-term well-being. That includes investments in physical and mental health, like fitness classes or cycling, which she sees as foundational rather than indulgent. The goal of her approach isn’t perfection. It’s participation by staying involved in your financial life rather than disengaging out of guilt or frustration. As women live longer and take on greater financial responsibility, Wagner believes that balance matters more than ever. “We're living longer than ever. We have more opportunity than ever before to go throughout the rest of our chapters and do things that we never thought possible,” Wagner said. In fact, women are expected to control roughly $34 trillion, or 38%, of U.S. assets by 2030, nearly double today’s levels (4). “The rise of women's economic power combined with the rise of financial autonomy opens up so many possibilities for us as individuals, but also collectively as a group of women.” Steph Wagner hopes all Americans heed that wake-up call for investing in the future.

Husband Making $117K Tries To Walk Away From 6 Kids After $60K Debt — 'Ramsey Show' Host Calls Him 'Dead Man Walking' ===================================================================================================================== Casey B. Renner Thu, February 19, 2026 at 2:30 AM GMT+9 3 min read Six kids. Nearly 20 years of marriage. And a husband who says he's done. Christy, who has spent the past 14 years raising six children in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, told "The Ramsey Show" that her husband wants to file for divorce this summer. She is now trying to understand how to protect herself and their children. She works part time as a preschool teacher so she can bring her 4-year-old son to class. Her husband earned about $117,000 on their most recent tax return, and most assets and accounts are tied to his income. **Don't Miss:** * **The ‘ChatGPT of Marketing' Just Opened a $0.85/Share Round — **10,000+ Investors Are Already In**** * **Motley Fool's analysts have built a new lineup of passive ETFs — **explore which "Foolish" strategy fits your investment goals.**** "Everything's up on end," Christy said, as hosts **Dave Ramsey** and **John Delony** spoke with her about her six children, ages 4 to 18, with the oldest having just started college. Debt Returns After Financial Peace Years ---------------------------------------- The strain, she said, followed debt they once believed was behind them. After their third child was born in 2010, the couple taught a Ramsey financial course. They later welcomed three more children. "Things were going really well," Christy said. While refinancing their home in 2020, her husband admitted he accumulated credit card balances. They rolled additional funds into the mortgage to pay off the credit card balances and he promised they would be canceled. **Trending: Designed for investors with strong market convictions, **REX Shares builds ETFs for income, leverage, and tactical positioning — explore the lineup.**** Earlier this year, she discovered nearly $60,000 in new credit card debt. With minimum payments climbing into the hundreds and even thousands each month, they took out a second mortgage to eliminate the balances. "And then he kind of — things went downhill really quickly after that," Christy said. "It's been a very difficult year." Soon after, she said, he stopped sleeping in their bedroom, stopped talking to her and said he intends to file for divorce. She also learned he stopped paying her life insurance premium. "Like, cuz here you’re dead men walking," Delony said, after confirming that her husband is still living in the home while announcing plans to leave. Income, Assets And What Courts Consider --------------------------------------- Ramsey asked what her husband earns. She confirmed it was a six-figure income. Christy asked what would happen if he pushed for a 50/50 split. "50/50 is assets, but I’m not talking about his income," Ramsey said. Story continues **_See Also: You Saved for Retirement — **_But Do You Know What You'll Keep After Taxes?_**_** He said that in most states, child support and alimony are calculated separately from asset division and can take a significant portion of income in a 20-year marriage with six children. Christy said she scheduled a meeting with an attorney to understand her legal rights. Delony urged her to ask her attorney whether it matters who files for divorce, saying he has heard of cases where one spouse wants out but hesitates filing. Ramsey said that in most states, filing first does not affect child support or alimony.

Climate-disaster scores can make or break a home sale — but they are often wrong. What sellers need to know =========================================================================================================== Rebecca Holland Thu, February 19, 2026 at 2:00 AM GMT+9 7 min read As climate change fears have worsened over the years, extreme weather has become a serious concern for both insurers and homeowners across the country. According to a report from Ceres in June 2025, insurers pulling out of areas that are at risk due to extreme weather events is creating a “global protection gap,” which is described as the difference between insured coverage and economic losses (1). Must Read --------- * Dave Ramsey warns nearly 50% of Americans are making 1 big Social Security mistake — here’s what it is and 3 simple steps to fix it ASAP * Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how * I’m approaching retirement with no savings. Should I panic? Here are 6 easy ways to catch up (and fast) The Ceres report also notes that this gap was projected to increase by 5% in 2025, totalling $1.86 trillion. An estimated 8% of homeowners are now without insurance as they either can’t afford to pay the skyrocketing rates, or simply can’t find an insurer to cover their high-risk homes. Meanwhile, some sellers are now facing another concern that could cost them money: inaccurate climate-disaster scores. As the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reports, inaccurate third-party assessments of a home’s potential exposure to natural disasters on websites like Zillow, Redfin and Realtor.com are potentially keeping buyers from being interested in viable properties. In fact, the WSJ reported in January that backlash from the real estate industry prompted Zillow to remove climate-disaster scores for its listings back in November 2025 (2). As climate risks become more of a factor in real estate, it’s more critical than ever that the information available to potential homebuyers is accurate. Here’s why you should do your own research — or get an expert’s opinion — before making a call on buying a property, as well as what sellers can do about a bad climate-disaster score. How sellers are impacted ------------------------ John Simeone is one such seller who is having trouble selling his vacation property after it was inaccurately listed with an extremely high flood risk. As he shared with the WSJ, Simeone’s townhouse in Lincoln, New Hampshire was given a nine out of 10 flood risk score on Zillow, which uses data from First Street — a “small but influential climate-research company” — for its climate-disaster scores (2). However, Simeone’s high flood risk score was reportedly linked to a First Street report for a different address. Simeone believes the inaccurate assessment is the reason his property — which was listed in August 2025 — hasn’t sold, even after he lowered the asking price. He has since asked Redfin and Realtor.com to remove the climate-disaster score info from his listing. In the meantime, First Street has reassessed Simeone’s property and has given it a seven out of 10 flood risk score due to rainfall issues in the area. Story Continues Simeone, however, is far from the only person impacted by these scores, as the WSJ reports. In fact, Andrew and Eri Uerkwitz of Chappaqua, New York sued First Street and Zillow over their high flood risk score, while Nancy and Gary Berrios of North Carolina reported that they’ve also been unable to sell their home for the same reason. Other homeowners have told the WSJ that scores from First Street are inaccurate and tough to change. The problem with climate risk assessment models ----------------------------------------------- As the WSJ reports, federal and state government flood and wildfire maps aren’t necessarily kept up to date with the latest risk assessments, which can jeopardize safety for existing and potential homeowners. Because of this, the assessments from private companies like First Street are used by insurers to perform their modelling and set prices, even if said scores aren’t as accurate as they claim (3). Some experts, however, don’t have a lot of faith in how we currently assess climate risk. “Accurately estimating future flood risk at every property in a single city or watershed — let alone the entire United States — is fundamentally not possible given current knowledge,” said James Doss-Gollin, a climate-risks specialist and assistant professor of engineering at Rice University in Houston (2). But Matthew Eby, CEO and founder of First Street, says otherwise. According to Eby, an accurate national flood map is “not only possible, it has been done not just by First Street, but many other firms.” “We stand by our data,” Eby assured. **Read More: The average net worth of Americans is a surprising $620,654. But it almost means nothing. Here’s the number that counts (and how to make it skyrocket)** Given these differing viewpoints, it’s up to both homeowners and potential buyers to do their own research as best they can, especially when the WSJ notes that a single property could have widely differing climate-disaster scores from different assessment firms. These inaccurate assessments are not only impacting individuals, as the data could shape whole housing markets, as well as inflate insurance prices at a time when rates are already rising rapidly. The Bipartisan Policy Center reports that property insurance rates have increased across the country for 26 consecutive quarters since Q4 of 2017, and home insurance premiums rose 40% faster than inflation between 2017 and 2022 (4). Why homebuyers need to do their homework ---------------------------------------- While a climate-disaster score on Zillow may be enough to turn some buyers off of a specific property, this information can be misleading. A local ABC News affiliate in North Carolina reported last year that John and Laura Haldane were also having issues with their First Street rating (5). The company, however, stated that the couple’s property was within an "area of known limitation within our model," and that it has "reduced confidence in the flood results due to generous limitations." ABC News’ report also noted that First Street's model assumes that all properties have some flood risk, and that no property is ever given a zero out of 10 rating. For this reason, independent verification of potential climate issues is becoming essential for homebuyers. If you’re shopping for houses, you can look for services in your area which can assess the risk of climate-related issues for your desired property. You may even be able to negotiate through your real estate agent for the seller to provide this report, especially if the property is listed as high risk. You should also do your own homework and seek out the scores from several similar companies — as well as government modelling — and take a look at the scores for properties in the same neighborhood. How you can fight an inaccurate score for your property ------------------------------------------------------- If you’re trying to sell your home, you should be aware that it is possible to dispute a bad climate-disaster score with assessment companies like First Street. However, doing so is not always an easy process. You can start by submitting information to the assessment company that disproves your current climate-disaster score and request a reassessment. If that doesn’t work, try reaching out to websites like Redfin and Realtor.com to have the score removed from your listing. You can also potentially get ahead of the problem by acknowledging the climate-related issues with your realtor and providing information about previous issues to potential buyers, or by paying for your own private assessment. While dropping the price of your home may seem inevitable, it doesn’t have to be. In fact, a bad assessment might reveal some protective steps you can take to lower the flood risk or other potential damage to the property from severe weather, and making these changes — along with detailing them on your listing — could tempt buyers into considering your property more seriously.
