Anti-government protests erupted in Iran, causing nationwide internet traffic to plummet to "near zero."
PANews reported on January 9th that, according to Decrypt, Iranian authorities have implemented a nationwide internet blackout due to the ongoing anti-government protests. Cloudflare data shows that since 18:45 UTC (22:15 local time), internet traffic in Iran has been "almost completely zero." The protests are fueled by high inflation, currency collapse, and pressure on people's livelihoods, and have recently escalated further after the exiled crown prince called for large-scale demonstrations. It is currently unclear whether satellite internet services such as SpaceX's Starlink are available in Iran. NetBlocks described this as a "nationwide digital blockade," which will severely restrict the dissemination of protest images.

Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts?
The post Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In recent crypto news, Stephen Miran swore in as the latest Federal Reserve governor on September 16, 2025, slipping into the board’s last open spot right before the Federal Open Market Committee kicks off its two-day rate discussion. Traders are betting heavily on a 25-basis-point trim, which would bring the federal funds rate down to 4.00%-4.25%, based on CME FedWatch Tool figures from September 15, 2025. Miran, who’s been Trump’s top economic advisor and a supporter of his trade ideas, joins a seven-member board where just three governors come from Democratic picks, according to the Fed’s records updated that same day. Crypto News: Miran’s Background and Quick Path to Confirmation The Senate greenlit Miran on September 15, 2025, with a tight 48-47 vote, following his nomination on September 2, 2025, as per a recent crypto news update. His stint runs only until January 31, 2026, stepping in for Adriana D. Kugler, who stepped down in August 2025 for reasons not made public. Miran earned his economics Ph.D. from Harvard and worked at the Treasury back in Trump’s first go-around. Afterward, he moved to Hudson Bay Capital Management as an economist, then looped back to the White House in December 2024 to head the Council of Economic Advisers. There, he helped craft Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” approach, aimed at fixing trade gaps with China and the EU. He wouldn’t quit his White House gig, which irked Senator Elizabeth Warren at the September 7, 2025, confirmation hearings. That limited time frame means Miran gets to cast a vote straight away at the FOMC session starting September 16, 2025. The full board now features Chair Jerome H. Powell (Trump pick, term ends 2026), Vice Chair Philip N. Jefferson (Biden, to 2036), and folks like Lisa D. Cook (Biden, to 2028) and Michael S. Barr…
