When it comes to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, it seems like there is a never-ending stream of news and a new initial coin offering every day. That is why Shaun Newsum launched ICO Watchdog, a financial information service aimed at keeping cryptocurrencies and the companies around them accountable. ICO Watchdog is a messaging platform with chatbots that helps users and investors understand what is going on in the industry. ICO Watchdog is also keeping an eye on insider trading within crypto companies. When asked if there will be more regulation in the future, Newsum explains that despite the need for more overhead, it is unlikely we will see that come in 2018.

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.
