YouTube video by Forbes Breaking News TENSE: Josh Hawley And James Lankford Have Surprisingly Heated Exchange Over The PELOSI Act

This ethics bill discussion is interesting - at the end Rand Paul literally says that members have to be allowed to own stablecoin because in a few years it will be the *only* way to shop at Walmart or Amazon.

Tweet where Mark Wetjen announces he has started a job at OKX

Wetjen was the regulatory affairs guy at FTX, in case you want to know which crypto company will implode next.

There's now an 11-day queue to pull your eth out of staking lock-ups. This isn't the lack of liquidity you want to see in an exchange fund. Especially one that does redemption in kind. And offers staking as a service.

You know, things us "morons" didn't allow when I was at SEC.

Tron Inc. to Ring The Nasdaq Opening Bell on July 24, 2025 Winter Park, Florida, July 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tron Inc. (Nasdaq: TRON) (the “Company”), an innovation leader at the intersection of blockchain,...

The height of corruption if not the height of absurdity. Vonnegut please come back and write the book about crypto.

"I've known Fred for a long time. He's a guy that's getting a lot of attention right now." - Trump, probably.

Why crypto matters in the midterms An esoteric financial regulatory issue has suddenly become an urgent consideration for lawmakers facing competitive races in the 2026 midterm elections.

Other negotiation 101 news - crypto already got their votes from House and Senate Dems. There's nothing keeping Fairshake from going after blue seats in 2026 in favor of Republican/MAGA crypto hardliners.

If you sell your soul at least get it in writing.

Our media and political leadership still can't figure out how to deal with Trump. It's tragic because there's nothing they need to know that couldn't be learned by reading "If you Give a Mouse a Cookie"

Barr already tried this playbook. It didn't get the administration to back off, they just shifted their ire to Powell.

The Fed thought they could cave on deregulation, climate change, and DEI. But the administration's goal is full compliance. Nothing less will suffice.

JPMorgan explores lending against clients’ crypto holdings Bank’s chief Jamie Dimon, who once branded bitcoin a ‘fraud’, has moderated his tone

Remember when the banks thought MBS vehicles were bankruptcy remote but then they weren't and the off balance sheet leverage sparked a global financial crisis?

It was fairly predictable and hilarious that after the Senate told the House "we will consider your crypto market structure bill" they immediately dunked on the House's subpar negotiating skills by releasing their own fully-fledged bill.

Investors cheer new crypto law while critics warn of potential for crisis President Donald Trump signed the Genius Act into law on Friday afternoon.

Ethereum is Trustware, core trust infrastructure for the world The cryptoeconomic, decentralized trust of our age scales to billions without borders or intermediaries, is available continuously, globally, and predictably

Trustlessness is trust. Trust us.

To be clear, we already had laws about private currency. Baking regulators and the DOJ just decided not to do anything about it.

Congrats to the one hundred members of the Democratic caucus who voted for the Trump Crypto Scam Enabling Act.

This is an important win for the FTC and agency independence but it's harder for me to enjoy knowing that Commissioner Slaughter's husband Justin is a crypto peddler who helped get us here in the first place.

Trump is unpopular
Crypto is unpopular
Corruption is unpopular
Trump uses crypto to do corruption and it's unpopular

Over 1/3 Democrats in the House and Senate as well as the Democratic Leadership vote for Trump's crypto legislation

Do they think losing in 2026 gets them first overall draft pick?

I mean, why else would there be so much talk about candlesticks?

GAVEL!!

There is a non-zero chance that Khaki Seersuckerman has changed into a houndstooth jacket and black slacks.

Vote could be gaveled right now but technically remains 1 shy of a definitive plurality.

I mean, I never understood how calling people by their preferred pronouns was anything other than basic politeness and yet...

What if I just said "Indiana."

I would say that I was on the panel with Simon

Vote flips are starting to tally.

One can only assume Congressman Seersuckerman has finally leveraged his power over the House Freedom Caucus.

Yea the examples they give are almost always "matinee pricing and early bird specials" which instinctually invokes "awwwwww, grandma" and not "ahhhhh, racism."

Clerk just handed the presiding member of the House chamber a script - something is about to happen re Crypto bill votes

Representative Seersuckerman has exited the floor into the speaker's lobby.

It's been a wild night.

End Transmission.
