Call of Duty is dead.
Arc Raiders is dead.
Fortnite is dead.
Battlefield is dead.
GTA is still not out.
What is anyone even playing anymore these days?

@moonpay Is the MoonPay intern trying to be different by using this clip that set everything in motion in GoT instead of the King Theoden "So it begins"?

News: Sen. Kennedy tells Semafor he will vote for the crypto market structure bill tomorrow in Banking Committee, meaning it will get out of committee regardless of what Dems do. More TK
- He says he has a deal with Chairman Scott on "creating fiduciary duty for people within the crypto world” and adding his Build Now Act housing bill with Sen. Warren
- He met with President Trump on Monday about the Road to Housing bill: "He's agreed to try to help with the overall housing bill with the couple of House members who are holding it up”
- He says he’ll listen to Dem crypto amendments tomorrow but “I'm told there won't be an ethics provision. The chairman doesn't believe we have jurisdiction.” Still says it’s important and might get added on the Senate floor
English
@DelCrxpto Actually, I'll take that deal. Pass Clarity as-is with current stablecoin yield, no ethics provisions and reject all the 100+ amendments. Then you can have your $25/hr.

I've spent my life in arenas where hesitation costs you – markets, a cockpit, the wrestling mat. The lesson is always the same: cede the center of the ring and you don't get it back. That is the risk the Democratic Party, my party, is running today on crypto.
I have voted for Democrats most of my adult life, and I will again. I am writing this because I root for my party, and because, on the technology that will shape American power in this century, the loudest voices on our left are about to hand the future away.
Pass the CLARITY Act. This is how America wins.

@plx12024 @InvestWithD I agree for the most part but remember they threw that housing bill in there bc D's want that. If they want too many ethics provisions etc.. the housing language comes out and they can try to pass it as a standalone.
English
I don't think they'll block it on Thursday because it only needs a majority to pass the committee. Republicans have the majority so they do not need any Democrat votes.
✨️But, I do believe it will be debated heavily in the senate. The final form will not look as it does now. In the politico article, Lummis said, ultimately, she'd go to the White house, if necessary, with Alsobrooks (to get concessions from the President).
🤞

As a former head of a crypto trade association, I have some advice for bank lobbyists: upgrade your technology – and your advocacy.
Public debate on X is a superpower. It allows for solutions to complex problems to be widely scrutinized and vetted. It also communicates support to our champions. And it activates the millions of passionate crypto users and builders who deserve a voice in Washington.
Transparency is why crypto is winning.

Banking policy leaders now signaling that if they lose on stablecoin yield at Thursday's Clarity markup, they will ramp up their fight for changes on the Senate floor. "Thursday is Thursday, and there are 24 members who will opine, and we still have 76 members left to go before this thing is finished," one banking leader told me today. Alsobrooks + Tillis seem poised to stay put with their new yield compromise, however, even though banks don't like it. After banking trades released proposed changes to the deal Friday, an Alsobrooks spox told me the senator stands by her + Tillis' earlier statement that they "respectfully agree to disagree" w/ banks on yield. "It can't be a compromise if both sides don't agree to it," a frustrated banking trade leader also told me today. The trade leader also threw some shade at crypto for how they've navigated the process. "We don't debate this on X," they said. "We're very professional. X is really not, you know, the proper place to negotiate this."

From PBN Midday: Crypto ethics meeting did not appear to go so hot. Sen. Moreno (R-Ohio) said it was a “circus” and said Dems were “making up bullshit excuses”
Gallego (D-Ariz.) replied Moreno “is prone to exaggeration”
Brendan Pedersen@BrendanPedersen
Latest on this: The White House’s Patrick Witt is here in the Capitol and meeting with Sens. Lummis (R-Wyo), Schiff (D-Calif.), Tillis (R-N.C.), Moreno (D-Ohio), Gillibrand (D-NY). They all just walked into Majority Whip Barrasso’s office.

This Thursday, the Senate Banking Committee and I will vote on the CLARITY Act.
We’re voting on a bill that protects consumers, gives digital asset innovators certainty, and keeps the future of crypto in America, not offshore.
Let's get this done.

On behalf of more than 2.9 million U.S. advocates, @StandWithCrypto is notifying Senators that it will score the Senate Banking Committee’s May 14th markup vote on the CLARITY Act.
SWC strongly urges Senators to vote “Yes” to advance the bill out of committee. Please note that lawmaker scores will be updated based on these recorded votes.
For years, SWC advocates have championed market structure legislation, contacting lawmakers nearly 1.5 million times. Because market structure directly impacts their economic security and daily lives, these constituents are counting on their Senators to stand with them.
SWC appreciates the thoughtful, bipartisan effort invested in this legislation.

I specifically requested the attendance of Mr. Nichols and other bank trade CEOs at the meetings we hosted back in February to resolve the stablecoin rewards/yield issue. They refused. I guess the White House was beneath them?
In their defense, I wouldn’t want to have to defend their position in public either.

American Bankers Association CEO Rob Nichols sent the following letter on Sunday to every other bank CEO in the country, asking bankers for “immediate engagement” on stablecoin yield policy. Senate Banking Committee is slated to mark up landmark crypto bill Thursday

🚨 The banking cartel is in full panic mode. 🚨
While Americans were celebrating Mother’s Day with their families, the CEO of the American Bankers Association sent a frantic alert to every bank CEO in the country, demanding “immediate engagement” to lobby Senators and kill stablecoins that would finally let everyday Americans earn real yields on their own money.
This line in the letter sticks out: “we believe committee members may not be fully aware of the risks to the economy by the stablecoin loophole.” That’s both intellectually dishonest and simultaneously demeaning. First, there is no “loophole.” This entire issue was litigated during the GENIUS Act debate. @BillHagertyTN worked tirelessly on this issue and this statement is an insult to his and others work.
For decades, these banks have treated your deposits like their personal piggy bank, paying you next to nothing while lending YOUR money out for massive profits and executive bonuses.
During the Biden era, these same banks worked hand-in-glove with @SenWarren and her allies to debank Americans, including President Trump’s own family. They shut down accounts of conservatives, patriots, and anyone who dared challenge the regime, all while regulators applied pressure under schemes like Operation Choke Point 2.0. It wasn’t about risk. It was about political control.
Now that innovative stablecoins threaten to break their monopoly and give you actual financial freedom? They’re running to Congress again, screaming about “threats to economic growth and financial stability.”
Translation: Protect the racket at all costs.
The Senate Banking Committee votes on landmark crypto legislation this Thursday.
As a member of that committee, my message is clear:
Hands off the people’s money. Let Americans choose real competition and better returns. No more shielding Wall Street from the future. The banking elite’s days of rigging the system and debanking their political enemies are over. Innovation, freedom, and the American people will win.
I’m voting to break the cartel.

🚨NEW: @BankingGOP Committee markup of the Clarity Act set for Thursday, May 14 at 10:30 AM EST.
Eleanor Terrett@EleanorTerrett
🚨SCOOP: The Senate Banking Committee is preparing to notice a markup for the Clarity Act as soon as tomorrow and has circulated draft legislative text to select industry members ahead of a potential Thursday vote, according to multiple industry sources who have seen the text. The language is reportedly still being finalized, with additional edits expected to reflect priorities from Democratic offices. One source told me the overall vibes after reviewing the bill and coordinating with other industry leaders are positive so far, though some bracketed sections are raising concerns that key provisions previously thought to be settled may still be in flux.

Ondo, Kinexys by @jpmorgan, @Mastercard, & @Ripple successfully completed a landmark pilot transaction connecting the XRP ledger with interbank settlement rails.
This milestone marks the first time tokenized U.S. Treasuries have settled across borders and banks in near real time and outside traditional banking windows.
1. Ondo processed Ripple’s OUSG redemption on XRP Ledger
2. Mastercard's Multi-Token Network routed instructions to Kinexys by J.P. Morgan
3. J.P. Morgan delivered USD to Ripple's Singapore bank account
Tokenized assets are no longer separate from the global financial system. For the first time, a public blockchain and global banking infrastructure settled a cross-border transaction of a tokenized fund together in real time.
Together, we’re laying the groundwork for 24/7 global markets that never close.
