Adam Aron, CEO of U.S.-listed theater chain AMC Entertainment, criticized Robinhood Chief Legal Officer Dan Gallagher over stock token trading and said Gallagher should be ashamed. Aron made the remarks after reposting Gallagher’s statement on X. Earlier, Aron had called for a halt to trading in AMC stock tokens. Gallagher responded in English, "We know the U.S. securities laws" and "we will not" stop token trading. In response, Aron said Gallagher appeared to believe openly admitting he was ignoring the law meant he did not have to follow it. Aron also questioned why the tokens were being promoted on a U.S. website if stock tokens issued overseas could not be offered or sold to Americans. Aron added that if the practice was not illegal, it should be, and said either way the episode showed severely flawed judgment.

Bitcoin is being heavily influenced by moves in the stock market, and the current interest-rate outlook could also weigh on BTC, Bloomberg Intelligence senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone said in an analysis posted on X. McGlone said fed funds futures are pricing in about 0.5 percentage points of rate hikes over the next year. Under those conditions, BTC has typically shown weakness and then rebounded after futures-market expectations began shifting back toward easier monetary policy, he said. McGlone added that a stock-market decline is a key variable that could change monetary policy expectations, but it would be difficult for metals or crypto assets to rise on their own while equities are falling. He said risk assets, including BTC, are currently being driven largely by the direction of the stock market.
