- [confirms] Fed Chair Warsh Rules Out a Crypto Bailout, With a Caveat for "Extraordinary" Risk (2026-07-17): Fed Chair Warsh told the House 'we do not want to be in the bailout business, full stop,' with only a caveat for 'extraordinary' risk, days before the July 18 GENIUS Act stablecoin deadline.
