Trump failed crypto today.
Our politicians failed us today.
The entire industry showed up for him funded, supported, pushed for U.S. innovation and when it actually mattered, he folded to the same big banks crypto was built to replace.
Let’s be honest about what just happened:
Stablecoin yield was becoming real competition. Real alternatives. Real financial freedom.
So they killed it.
Not for “consumer protection.” Not for “risk management.”
But because it threatens a system that survives on control, fees, inflation, and gatekeeping.
Traditional banking doesn’t win in a free market so it rewrites the rules.
And Washington just proved exactly who they work for.
Meanwhile, politicians somehow outperform markets, insiders get rich, and we’re told this is all for our benefit.
Short term?
DeFi gets hit.
Projects die.
Innovation leaves the U.S.
Long term? You can’t stop open-source.
You can’t kill decentralization.
But today was a reminder:
They don’t want competition.
They want control.
Fuck every politician who sold out to big banks instead of protecting consumers.

@DelCrxpto No shit. You mean the most powerful cartel in the world has agency? Is water also wet?

Word from The Hill is, they made an offer Coinbase couldn't refuse.

Surprise, surprise... the banks won.

"This war has been won." – Trump.
Just like Bush did with Iraq 6 weeks in. But then it went on for over 8 years.
Martin A. Armstrong@ArmstrongEcon
Bush declared victory six weeks into the Iraq War... It went on for eight years. Trump may do the same.

@Lukewearechange more like europe saying "if we go down everyone goes down with us"

The real altcoin season is beginning for the first time in 8 years.
A breakout from the convergence on the $ETH/BTC chart will signal the official start of the altcoin rally.
The bull market of 2021 was all preparation for this bull market.
We will soon see the real altcoin season.

@ChartingGuy Why not just get a cd if you are so concerned with dollar yield? They are still liquid
English
if Trump let’s the clarity act pass without the stablecoin yield, then there goes his very last positive he had left..
crypto regulation.

@Suzanne66769799 @realtimsharp Don't forget they also get to diddle our kids and get to flee back to Israel
English
If Israel is our greatest ally, what do we gain from the relationship?
English
@martypartymusic Yep. You can put your savings in tbills right now and catch yield. They are super liquid

People - the Clarity contention over Stablecoin passive yield is a nothing burger.
By registering as securities Stablecoins will bypass this silly issue which is clearly political in motivation.
Either way, simple products will be offered to provide non passive yield just like there are now. Nothing is changing.
There are passive yield stable tokens already. Here is one. Just hold it and it pays yield.
Example: @Figure $YLDS (issued by Figure Certificate Company, is a yield-bearing, SEC-registered digital security explicitly designed as a compliant alternative to traditional stablecoins like $USDC or $USDT. Launched in February 2025 and expanded to chains like Solana and Sui by late 2025, it maintains a $1 peg while paying holders passive interest (currently around 3–4% APY, tied to SOFR minus ~50 basis points, accruing daily and paid monthly in USD or additional YLDS). It is backed by short-term U.S. Treasuries and repo agreements, functioning more like a tokenized prime money market fund or unsecured face-amount certificate than a pure cryptocurrency.
As you see there are ways around this silly amendment already being used. There will 100% be passive earning Treasury backed stable pegged tokens.
Banks are redundant and will fight like dogs for relevance.

@WallStreetMav It's not rates. Home prices are too high by almost double. Look at home prices pre COVID and post covid
English
More homes are for sale.
Prices are down.
But nobody’s buying.
Because the Fed trapped 40 million mortgages in cheap Covid rates so selling would double their payment.
Jerome Powell should have cut rates years ago. Instead, he’s letting them rise, which will make the housing crisis worse.
Peter St Onge, Ph.D.@profstonge
Home sales hit a wall, falling 18% in a single month — the worst since the 2008 crisis. The problem is mortgage rates: They’re too high to buy, but sellers are trapped in cheap Covid-era mortgages. Worse, oil prices are now hiking mortgage rates even higher.

@LibertyCappy It's actually not unpopular for people but it is for politicians

Unpopular opinion
We should have an IQ test as one of the requirements for immigration to the United States and anyone under 100 IQ should be rejected

@79illwill Maybe some veterans are disabled and some aren't. I know legit disabled veterans, I also know disabled veterans who were never deployed and never injured.
English
Yeah man. I was 22 ordered invade Iraq got shot at with AK-47s, RPGs and watched my friends burn to death in a helicopter crash.
Fuck you
Caleb Hull@CalebJHull
Every veteran I know is “disabled” and taking advantage of this broken system. About time we start fixing it.

@girdley My wife's family bought so many timeshares she had to drag them out of those events when she was 15 to keep them from buying more. Btw they are broke currently and my wife is extremely frugal
English
When I was young, my parents took us to a timeshare sales pitch.
“Will we buy one?” I asked.
“No. You’re going to see how people will try to get you to do dumb things,” they answered.
I’m thankful for the gift of having great parents every day.

@RealAllinCrypto @jbutterfill Psst the whales are intelligence agencies

Whales offloaded $30B in Bitcoin since October, turning the 4‑year ‘cycle’ into a self‑fulfilling prophecy. @jbutterfill, Head of Research at @CoinSharesCobreaks down the real market mechanics behind the drop. $BTC

@martypartymusic @BitcoinConner That's the point. It basically legalizes theft by government whenever and whoever they want to target

@ColonelTowner gotta wait to launch those until everyone in leadership gets killed - said no leader ever.

CNN: interviews bin Laden when supposedly the CIA can't find him
CNN: has access to Iranian tunnels that the CIA supposedly can't find
CNN reports CIA talking points.
Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh
🚨 JUST IN: Americans are suspicious of how CNN just got FULL ACCESS to “investigate” Iran’s underground missile cities It is VERY concerning that a terrorist regime thinks CNN is their best mouthpiece for America What did they agree to for this access?

@ArmstrongEcon Hopefully milekowski has gone over the rainbow road

If Trump attempts to exist, he may find that Netanyahu will take action to drag the US in deeper.
English
@CryptoVikings07 funny that it coincides with Iran and Venezuela getting toppled. my guess is some intelligence assets need some cash.

Or someone just cracked another lost wallet
Is it just a coincidence that so many 2011-2012 wallets are suddenly getting active and sold instantly into the market?
TFTC@TFTC21
Someone just moved 2,100 BTC that hadn't been touched since 2012. They paid $13,700 total. $6.52 per bitcoin. Today it's worth $148 million. A 10,823x return. 13 years of conviction.
