🚨NEW: SEC Commissioner and Crypto Task Force chief @HesterPeirce is tempering expectations around the agency’s contemplated innovation exemption for tokenized stocks, saying she expects it to apply narrowly to onchain equity products, not synthetic tokens that mimic stocks without giving investors the same shareholder rights. ⬇️

🇺🇸 SpaceX is opening its IPO to retail investors. Shares will be available through Charles Schwab, Fidelity, Robinhood, SoFi Securities, and E*TRADE by Morgan Stanley, one of the deal's underwriters.

🚨THE FBI CREATED A FAKE CRYPTOCURRENCY.. LISTED IT ON UNISWAP.. HIRED MARKET MAKERS TO PUMP IT.. THEN ARRESTED EVERYONE WHO SAID YES.. THIS IS THE CRAZIEST LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATION IN CRYPTO HISTORY!!! The FBI built an actual ERC-20 token on Ethereum called NexFundAI.. 100 billion token supply.. A professional website.. Whitepapers promising "passive income through AI-powered investing".. It looked exactly like every other crypto project.. Because that was the point.. Undercover agents posed as the founding team.. Then reached out to professional market-making firms and said "we need you to fake our trading volume".. Every single firm said yes.. Here's what they recorded.. Gotbit.. A firm run by a 26-year-old Russian who publicly bragged in 2019 that he built a business faking trade volumes.. His team kept internal spreadsheets with columns literally labeled "fake volume" vs "market volume".. When asked how fast they could pump NexFundAI's volume to $1 million per day.. They said "6 hours.. It will cost about $200".. $200 to fake $1 million in daily trading volume.. MyTrade.. Run by a guy who called himself "the mastermind".. He explained the exact psychology of the scam on camera.. "We make the chart look like a really nice roller coaster ride.. That's where people jump in.. We have to make them lose money in order to make profit".. He said that on a recorded FBI video call.. CLS Global.. A Dubai-based firm.. Their bots generated 98% of NexFundAI's total trading volume.. When the FBI asked if they could sync fake volume spikes with fake news announcements.. They said absolutely.. ZM Quant.. Bots executing 10 to 20 trades per minute through dozens of wallets to look organic.. All of them knew it was fraud.. All of them did it anyway.. All of it was recorded.. And the clients were even worse.. Saitama.. A meme coin that hit $7.5 billion market cap.. The founders coordinated buys through private Telegram chats.. Sent "pump it" memes while manipulating the price.. Then dumped on retail investors.. $7.5 billion.. Built entirely on fake volume.. Every penny of real money came from retail investors who thought the momentum was organic.. One founder left Saitama and started Robo Inu.. Used Gotbit again.. Another launched VZZN.. Same playbook.. Lillian Finance.. Founder claimed to be a defense contractor who addressed Congress.. Marketed the token as funding children's hospitals.. Pocketed everything.. When the FBI shut it down.. They seized $25 million in one day.. 18 people indicted across the US, UK, and Portugal.. The CEO of Gotbit was arrested in Portugal and extradited.. Sentenced to 8 months plus $23 million forfeiture.. But here's the part that broke my brain.. Real people bought NexFundAI.. The FBI's fake token.. With zero utility.. Zero real developers.. Created solely to catch criminals.. Attracted real retail investors because the fake volume made the chart look bullish.. When the FBI pulled the liquidity to end the operation.. Those people lost real money.. On a government-issued token.. The FBI had to set up a restitution portal to pay them back.. And it gets worse.. Within 24 hours of the DOJ announcing the sting.. Someone cloned the FBI's exact smart contract.. Launched a copycat token.. Rode the viral momentum.. And made $127,000 in a single day.. Using the exact same manipulation tactics the FBI just arrested 18 people for.. Then in 2026.. The FBI did it again.. New token called Lexobit.. 10 more arrests.. Including operators extradited from Singapore.. IRS forensics showed that in one firm's trading.. 1,209 out of 1,221 consecutive transactions went straight back to wallets the firm controlled.. 99% circular.. The FBI proved what everyone in crypto suspected.. The volume is fake.. The charts are painted.. The momentum is manufactured.. And every time you buy a token because "the chart looks bullish".. You might be the exit liquidity.

Anthropic just published a support page that should terrify anyone holding its shares on the secondary market. "Any sale or transfer of Anthropic stock, or any interest in Anthropic stock, that has not been approved by our Board of Directors is void and will not be recognized on our books and records." Void. Not restricted. Not pending review. Void. That means if you bought Anthropic shares through Forge, Hiive, or any other secondary platform without board approval, you are not a stockholder. You have no stockholder rights. Your transaction is invalid. It gets worse. Anthropic says it does not permit SPVs to hold its stock. Any transfer to an SPV is void. Investment funds claiming to offer indirect exposure are "most likely relying on mechanisms that attempt to circumvent our transfer restrictions." Forward contracts, tokenized securities, synthetic exposure products, all of it potentially worthless. Their advice to investors: "Assume that it is invalid." There is a multi-billion dollar secondary market in Anthropic shares right now. Platforms are pricing the stock at $265-$1,400+ per share based on a $380 billion valuation. Real people have put real money into these positions. And Anthropic just told them none of it counts. This is the purest possible illustration of counterparty risk. You can buy a share of a company and have the company itself declare your ownership void because you bought it through the wrong channel.

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.

On May 7th, Governor Kathy Hochul announced that New York's Fiscal Year 2027 budget will become the first law in the United States to mandate surveillance software inside every 3D printer sold within the state. It will make it a Class E felony to possess or share a 3D-printable file capable of producing a firearm component. Every printer sold in New York must ship with print-blocking algorithms that scan each job in real time and refuse to execute anything the algorithm flags. The sales pitch is "ghost guns." The mechanism is a permission gate inside a machine you paid for. Pilot tests of the proposed algorithm by an open-firmware team triggered the block on 17% of non-weapon prints. Brackets that resemble triggers. Cylinders that resemble barrels. A model train coupling. A bottle opener. The algorithm cannot tell. It will refuse the print and log the attempt to whatever server the manufacturer is required to maintain. The same arithmetic the printing-press licensors used in 1660. The same arithmetic the Stationers' Company used to brand a printer's son for distributing tracts the Crown had not approved. The same arithmetic the early DRM crowd used to make a DVD ripper a federal criminal in 1998. A tool you bought, in a room you own, with electricity you paid for, becomes a deputy of the state at the moment of purchase and remains one for the lifetime of the device. Anything that takes a digital design file and outputs a physical object is now within the reach of a state that has declared it owns the question of which physical objects you are permitted to bring into existence inside your own house. The fence has spent forty years moving inward. Around the song first. Around the page. Around the cipher. Around the camera roll. Now, finally, around the workbench. The state has run out of digital territory to enclose and has started enclosing the atoms. The maker who prints a bracket for a broken washing machine tonight commits the same act, technically, that the law is written to stop. The algorithm will not know the difference. It is not designed to know the difference. It is designed to fail closed, to refuse first and let the human appeal upward through whatever bureaucratic channel the manufacturer designs, if any, on whatever timeline the manufacturer chooses, with whatever paper trail attaches to the request. Permission to print, denied. Submit a ticket. Wait. Unfortunately for New York, and fortunately for us, the firmware on every consumer 3D printer is open or near-open. All of them forkable, all of them flashable, all of them already installed on millions of machines outside the reach of any future New York compliance certificate. The CAD files at issue are mathematical descriptions of geometry that will be mirrored on a thousand drives in a thousand jurisdictions before the ink on the bill is dry. The state cannot bind geometry. It can only bind the people who agree to be bound. Forty years from now nobody will remember the ghost gun argument. They will remember the year a state government decided that the physical output of a private machine was the state's business at the point of manufacture.

I'm predicting a massive Bitcoin summer. There are two key regulatory tailwinds that not enough people are talking about. 1) The Senate Banking Committee votes on the Clarity Act on May 14th. This is the legislation that formally classifies Bitcoin as a commodity and provides the regulatory clarity institutions have been waiting for. 2) The Basel consultation on Bitcoin closes June 18th. Basel rules govern how banks globally are required to treat assets on their balance sheets. A favourable outcome dramatically lowers the cost for banks to hold and offer Bitcoin exposure. These are not small catalysts. Regulatory clarity and bank-level access unlock trillions in institutional capital that is currently sitting on the sidelines. Bitcoin will have a beautiful summer.

Sat down with @coffeebreak_YT today on Bitcoin and Digital Credit. His edit will drop soon. Posting the full raw hour for anyone who wants the unfiltered version. Enjoy

@AntiFraudClub @stephenasmith The fact people don’t look at fraud as a non partisan issue is crazy

A person can buy Bitcoin and suffer for ten years. They check the price every hour. They argue online. They feel genius on green days and stupid on red days. They outsource their mood to a chart. Even if they win financially, they become a “miserable success.” The wiser version is different. You study it. You decide your thesis. You size it so you can sleep. You secure it properly. You stop needing everyone else to agree with you. Then you go live. Build. Love your family. Develop skills. Create value. Let Bitcoin be savings, not personality.

GERMANY MAY BE PREPARING TO END ONE OF THE WORLD'S BEST BITCOIN TAX LAWS For years, German law treated Bitcoin more like gold under private disposal rules, allowing tax-free gains after one year of holding. But now, Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil reportedly confirmed the government plans to tax Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies “differently,” potentially abolishing Germany’s one year holding exemption and treating Bitcoin more like stocks. Critics say this directly contradicts prior coalition promises not to raise taxes and reflects a government desperately searching for new revenue sources amid one of the world’s heaviest tax burdens. Legal scholars now warn that singling Bitcoin out for harsher treatment could face constitutional challenges under Germany’s equality protections, especially since long term holders made financial decisions based on the existing framework. Austria already removed its holding period exemption. Bitpanda co founder Eric Demuth later called the move an “extremely stupid decision,” saying it created more bureaucracy and complexity while generating little meaningful benefit for the state. To Bitcoin advocates, this is about whether governments will increasingly target individuals using decentralized money systems outside traditional financial control.

SHOTS FIRED: Morgan Stanley is rolling out crypto trading on its E*Trade platform for 50bps/trade, undercutting Schwab's 75bps (who undercut Coinbase). If I know Schwab, they likely won't let this stand. Others will prob undercut too. By the time the dust settles it'll be pretty dirt cheap to trade crypto everywhere- just was we saw with btc ETF exp ratios prior to launch. This is why TradFi is no joke and crypto exchanges should be scared.
