According to Odaily, the U.S. Treasury Department has granted access to its payment system to Elon Musk's Government Efficiency Office (DOGE). This system annually distributes trillions of dollars in benefits, grants, and tax refunds to Americans, typically managed by career civil servants. Treasury Secretary Besant approved this move, which involves one of the primary financial channels of the U.S. government. Any disruption in its operation could lead to significant economic turmoil.
Former Treasury officials noted that it is unusual for politically appointed personnel to be involved in managing the payment network, which adheres to strict protocols to ensure the security and privacy of transactions. It remains unclear how DOGE representatives plan to utilize their access to the payment system. Sources indicate that DOGE representatives will not have direct authority to halt individual payments or make other changes, as their access is "read-only."
Besant's approval of this arrangement comes with the condition that DOGE representatives' activities must be documented and subject to oversight. The representatives intend to review the overall efficiency of the payment system.#USTreasury #ElonMusk #GovernmentEfficiency #PaymentSystem #EconomicTurmoil #Privacy #Oversight #FinancialChannels #DOGE #Access
🚀 ASIC Seeks High Court Appeal on Block Earner's DeFi Product Classification

According to Odaily, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) is pursuing an appeal to the High Court, aiming to have the DeFi product 'Access' by fintech company Block Earner classified as a financial product. In March 2024, the High Court dismissed ASIC's claims that the product required a license to operate. ASIC's appeal seeks to clarify the definition of financial products, which should encompass all products, including cryptocurrencies. The High Court has yet to schedule a date for hearing the application.
Previously, the court delivered a mixed verdict on Block Earner's offerings, determining that the 'Earner' product constituted unlicensed financial services, while dismissing similar allegations against 'Access.' In June 2024, the court annulled a AUD 350,000 fine imposed on Block Earner for the 'Earner' product, and ASIC's subsequent appeal was rejected in April 2025.#ASIC #HighCourt #DeFi #BlockEarner #financialproduct #cryptocurrency #Access #Earner #licensing #financialservices
