I’m in love with this sentence: “Discipline feels boring until you witness what it creates.”

@sander_lutz This isn’t about banking… they don’t have the product and shouldn’t have this much power in crypto rules…

New: Lots of crypto-side worry rn over the proposed stablecoin yield compromise on market structure. But the new language would allow for yield on staked stablecoins, two sources tell me--a potentially significant win for crypto. Staking could be an easy, passive way for crypto users to earn yield on their stablecoins. The real question becomes whether such an allowance would trigger outrage from the banking lobby, which might view staking rewards as too much of a threat to their business. Banking is reviewing the compromise language today on Capitol Hill. "The banking industry would be crazy to accept that as any sort of compromise," another source, who has been closely following the negotiations, told me.

@scottmelker Pretty wild tbh… and sad

Can someone please explain to me how negotiations between two industries, in this case crypto and banking, are relevant for legislation? Has outside influence in politics really gotten to the point where this is so normalized that nobody even bats an eye?

@0xZane_ Yes but step in right direction

@RustySailor_ Regulation still needs clarity

Nice to see common sense prevail, and the SEC lead! The Howey test was archaic and not relevant to today’s technology. Now crypto can move forward as an industry and develop legitimate projects without fear of being labeled a security.

@JamesRapien Makes too much sense

This would help fix a major need... si.com/nfl/bengals/on…

TODAY 🚨: The Commission issued an interpretation that clarifies the application of federal securities laws to crypto assets. This is a major step to provide greater clarity regarding the Commission’s treatment of crypto assets. Read the release here: ow.ly/XhhV50YvxvO

@KobeissiLetter @TheShortBear I’m not sure why the SPR wasn’t refilled when oil was super cheap.

Since the Iran war began: 1. US has lifted sanctions on Russian oil for the first time since the Ukraine war began 2. Oil futures posted their largest weekly gain in history, rising +34.5% 3. The S&P 500 has erased -$2 trillion in market cap in 10 trading days 4. Iran is considering allowing oil trade through the Strait of Hormuz to resume if done with Chinese Yuan 5. The world has seen the largest disruption to global energy markets in history 6. US strategic oil reserves are set to hit their lowest since the 1980s It has only been 2 weeks.

@KelseyLConway Bengals aren’t doing a thing… :/

Wow. The Commanders have done an excellent job reloading their defense, This was a target I had for the Bengals

@JoeGoodberry Terrible day 2

How the original Free Agent list looks as Day-2 dwindles.

@BlakeJewellNFL @zimwhodey wtf

Idk man watching Leo Chenal sign elsewhere for $8.3M per year while you had historically bad linebacker play is kinda crazy!

@CharlieG__ They had plenty of cap room to sign Chenal

@Ben_Baby How?

While Boye Mafe had just two sacks in 2025, he was eighth in pass rush win rate among edge rushers (ESPN/Next Gen Stats).

@HaydenWinks @Andrew_Russell7 How did he have almost no sacks?

Bengals sign Boye Mafe, who was EDGE8 in pass rush win rate per ESPN's on-field tracking data. Also signed a real FS in Bryan Cook, who flies downhill and can actually tackle. Big upgrades!

@RapSheet @LIFTSPORTSMNGMT Boom! WhoDey

#Chiefs standout S Bryan Cook is expected to sign with the #Bengals, as they make a splash on defense in a deal done by @LIFTSPORTSMNGMT, per The Insiders. It’s a 3-year, $40.25M deal. He gets $18M in year 1.

@traderhc Where do you see overnight stock prices?

Oil is up 28% this quarter. Energy stocks are up 8%. That 20-point gap is the market making a very loud statement. When $XLE refuses to chase crude higher, equities are pricing the oil spike as a temporary supply shock. A geopolitical tax on the economy, not a windfall for producers. The dollar confirms it. Oil and the dollar are moving together right now. That only happens in supply shocks. Demand-driven oil rallies weaken the dollar. This one isn't. So either energy equities are the smartest discounting mechanism in the market, correctly fading a price that reverses by summer. Or they're sitting on 28% unrealized revenue upside that hasn't been priced in yet. If crude holds through Q2, that gap closes violently to the upside. Which side of this trade are you on?

@vtchakarova I respect that 🫡.

@RustySailor_ I'm not allowed to give financial advise.

@martypartymusic Which crypto tho? That’s important as 99% is vaporware. Do you think the market structure separated the wheat from the chaff?

Again - price is not honest. Without market structure there is no market. Crypto is decentralized, dollar price is not. On regulation everything changes. Be patient, exploit the discount’s. Remember this post.

@CryptoTaxGirl For 2026 or before?

This was always important, but it's even more important now with the 1099-DAs: Make sure that you keep personal, business, and retirement crypto activity on separate wallets, and don't co-mingle them. (Also don't buy/sell crypto for other people on your wallets/exchanges)
