Bitcoin is currently one of the top most followed tickers on social media platform StockTwits. Ian Rosen, CEO of StockTwits, explains how users are responding to the cryptocurrency craze. Rosen says more than 10 percent of StockTwits 1.2 million users checked a cryptocurrency stream in the last week. "It's an exciting set of assets," said Rosen. Currently Bitcoin has more watchers than Microsoft on StockTwits says Rosen. This week StockTwits launched a redesign of its mobile and web social platform. While users cannot currently trade cryptocurrency on the platform, Rosen said the company is looking to integrate this capability in the future.

Trump Administration Shutters Consumer Protection Agency
The Trump administration has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work, effectively shutting down the agency that was created to protect consumers after the 2008 financial crisis and subprime mortgage-lending scandal. Russell Vought is the newly installed director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought directed the CFPB in a Saturday night email to stop work on proposed rules, to suspend the effective dates on any rules that were finalized but not yet effective, and to stop investigative work and not begin any new investigations. The agency has been a target of conservatives since President Barack Obama created it following the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
