JPMorgan's Epstein problem is about to get subpoena power. CNBC reports Senate Finance Democrats plan to investigate the bank's Epstein ties once they take control in January, with Ron Wyden likely in the chair. Their focus: Mary Erdoes, who still runs JPM's wealth arm. What's already on the record: • Erdoes admitted in a deposition JPM knew by 2006 that Epstein was accused of paying for underage girls • JPM kept him as a client until 2013 • While he was alive, it flagged ~$4.3M of his activity. After he died, it filed retroactive reports on ~$1.3B • Per Wyden's staff, a JPM private bank chief coached Epstein on cash withdrawals to dodge reporting rules • JPM has paid $365M in settlements. Zero charges. The same system that files a report on your $10K cash withdrawal looked away from one of its biggest clients for 15 years. $JPM down 1.7% today.

US regulators have reportedly contacted banks to check their systems for security vulnerabilities after the Binance hack, according to Reuters, citing sources. The Federal Reserve and the OCC reportedly asked about unusual activity or service disruptions. Both declined to comment.

Paraguay's largest digital bank just collapsed, and about 60% of the country's adults banked there. The central bank seized Ueno Bank on Tuesday after its solvency ratio fell below half the legal minimum. Roughly 3 million customers were locked out overnight: app, cards and transfers all frozen. The fallout so far: • About $380M of the state pension and health fund (IPS) is tied up in Ueno bonds and deposits • 13 mutual funds froze withdrawals and trading in Ueno's bonds was halted • Ueno handled about two thirds of electronic payments at large supermarkets, and merchants warn retail could be partly paralyzed • Customers can only get back up to about $1,700 for now • The central bank chief resigned and prosecutors ordered 8 people linked to the bank arrested Angry depositors have taken to the streets of Asunción, and the opposition is pushing to impeach President Santiago Peña over his past ties to the bank's parent group. One bank failure, and most of a country can't touch its money. That's counterparty risk.

The US military is finishing preparations for a possible resumption of major combat operations in Iran, Axios reports, citing US officials. The preparations reportedly include sending more assets to the Middle East. No final decision has been made, and Trump's closest aides reportedly don't know what he will do.

Voters sided against data centers in 40 of 41 local midterm ballot measures, according to a preliminary CNBC analysis of Ballotpedia data. Counts vary by tracker and results aren't final. The exception was Harwood, North Dakota, where about 75% voted against an amendment that would have required independent review of large industrial projects, including data centers.

Binance says it has replaced about 98% of the ~$6.3 billion stolen in last week’s hack, using its own funds. It’s still buying the last 2% through market and OTC desks. Those are the less liquid tokens, so it’s going slower. x.com/binance/status…
