JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said in a CNBC interview... that crypto exchanges offering yields is unfair! Banks want competition... but only on a "level playing field." Cool. Then let's make it fair: Abolish fractional reserves & back deposits 1:1, like stablecoins must under the GENIUS Act. Your move, banks.show more

That is a hard NO from Jamie Dimon. Look,... we get it. Banks pay you almost nothing on your deposits, then lend it out at 7, 8, 9 percent. That spread is their whole business model. So, when stablecoins come along offering actual returns, of course they are sweating. But here is what nobody wants to say. It is our money. We put it there. So do we get a choice? Because last time I checked, if someone offers you a better deal on your own money, you should probably be allowed to take it.show more

🚨JUST IN: COINBASE SAYS CLARITY ACT STABLECOIN DEAL COULD... LAND BY FRIDAY Paul Grewal (Paul Grewal), Chief Legal Officer of Coinbase 🛡️, has expressed confidence that a deal on stablecoin yields under the CLARITY Act could be struck by Friday. Speaking on FOX Business, Grewal said the crypto industry must "finish the job" following last year's passage of the GENIUS Act. The stablecoin yield provision has been the biggest sticking point, with banks and crypto firms clashing over whether crypto companies can distribute yields to customers. Grewal called the CLARITY Act critical for defining which tokens fall under the SEC vs. CFTC jurisdiction.show more

I told everyone Elizabeth Warren was 100% in bed... with the Banks when I debated her with Jon Keller as moderator. She refused to ask Jamie Dimon a single question about his bank J.P. Morgan financing Epstein - the largest child-sex trafficking operation in American history. As for crypto, of course there are lots of junk projects and scams within the industry - that’s why we needed sensible regulations. ATM machines have been used for bad things like drug buys - but we don’t ban the technology. In fact, the banks are the biggest crooks in the world. JPMorgan Chase has been fined over $40B dollars for illicit activity NOT including Epstein. Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc., all have engaged in criminal enterprises, including money laundering for some of the worst bad guys on the planet. Unlike the banks, Stablecoins require 100% reserves - which is far more safe than the fractional banking system Warren and Ed Markey love to protect. When Warren says that the economy will crash does she mean similar to the way the banks caused the Great Financial Crisis in 2008 and then people like her and Ed Markey supported bailing those same banks out with taxpayer dollars? Warren is a fraud. Ed Markey is a puppet. I look forward to seeing Markey on the debate stage next. #mapoli #MASen #Deatonshow more

Now that the GENIUS act is in the home... stretch, there’s a lot of talk on what stablecoin is compliant. Is it $xrp/ripple/RLUSD? Nope Is it $usdc/circle? Nope Is it $tether? Nope It’s $tel(Telcoin) Telcoin is uniquely well-positioned under the proposed GENIUS Act due to its Digital Asset Bank Charter granted by Nebraska under the Transactions in Digital Assets Act (LB649). This codified state law explicitly authorizes the issuance and management of digital assets, including stablecoins, by chartered entities. Importantly, the GENIUS Act stipulates that only “state-qualified issuers” operating within states that have adopted a formal, legislative framework for digital assets will be eligible to issue compliant stablecoins. Nebraska’s statute clearly meets that federal requirement, giving Telcoin a clear and defensible legal pathway toward national regulatory compliance. In contrast, RLUSD, issued by Standard Custody & Trust and overseen by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), operates under a regulatory regime based on guidance rather than statute. Although NYDFS published stablecoin guidance in 2022 — mandating 1:1 reserves, auditability, and redemption rights — New York has not enacted a specific stablecoin law. That distinction matters: under the GENIUS Act, regulatory guidance alone may not satisfy federal requirements if it lacks the backing of an enacted state statute. This leaves RLUSD in a gray area of compliance, dependent on whether federal regulators view NYDFS’s oversight as sufficiently robust. The same regulatory uncertainty applies to Circle’s USDC, which is primarily issued under various state money transmitter licenses and a limited-purpose trust charter from NYDFS. Circle has advocated for federal legislation and cooperates with regulators, but like RLUSD, it lacks a foundation in a state statutory framework for digital assets. As with RLUSD, USDC’s path to GENIUS Act compliance hinges on whether its existing regulatory structure will be recognized as equivalent to the Act’s “state-qualified issuer” standard — a significant unknown. In summary, Telcoin’s operations under a legislative charter place it in a stronger position than both RLUSD and USDC under the GENIUS Act. Where others depend on discretionary recognition of regulatory guidance, Telcoin operates on the basis of codified law — a key distinction that could define future leadership in the U.S. stablecoin market.show more

🚨 RIPPLE CEO CALLED OUT CITI BY NAME 🤯... Brad Garlinghouse didn’t even try to hide it. At the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium he looked at the camera and said Ripple competes with Citi “sort of indirectly” — then explained why. Citi is one of the two biggest correspondent banks on SWIFT. They make roughly $5 billion a year in gross margin just sitting in the middle of cross-border payments. They have every reason to keep the old, slow, expensive system alive. Ripple’s entire play is to take that business on-chain. The banks want a seat at the table. Ripple wants the table. Watch the clip. This one isn’t subtle.show more

We just published our latest research: "Tokenized Deposits: The... Future of Money." The report breaks down how commercial bank deposits are moving onto blockchain infrastructure, and what that means for the financial system. Here's what we found: 🪙 Tokenized deposits, stablecoins, and CBDCs serve different roles. They complement each other rather than compete. 🪙 J.P. Morgan, Citi, BNY, Standard Chartered, HSBC and Lloyds are already running live tokenized deposit services for institutional clients. 🪙 Five US regional banks announced a shared tokenized deposit network in February 2026, signaling adoption beyond the top tier. 🪙 87% of financial institutions are exploring tokenization. 🪙 Digital currencies are projected to process up to $13 trillion in transaction value by 2030. 🪙 Global customer deposits totaled $103 trillion in 2024. Even a fraction moving on-chain creates a market far larger than today's stablecoin sector. The regulatory picture is also shifting. The US GENIUS Act provides clarity for stablecoins while keeping tokenized deposits under existing banking law. The UK's GBTD pilot is live with seven major banks. The ECB is advancing the Digital Euro. And in the UAE, the Digital Dirham has gone live on the mBridge platform. The big challenge ahead: interoperability. Tokenized deposits remain liabilities of individual banks. Scaling requires networks that let deposits issued by one bank settle with another. Projects like BIS Project Agora, Partior, and the UK's GBTD are working on exactly this. This report was shaped with contributions from 15 organizations, including Standard Chartered, Citi, BNY, J.P. Morgan, Ondo Finance, Digital Asset, Canton Network, LayerZero, BMW, ABN AMRO, ERC3643.org, TRON DAO, UK Finance, Cambridge University and Alchemy. A big thank you to anyone involved 🤝show more

BREAKING: Senator Lummis just gave the clearest CLARITY Act... timeline yet. On Mornings with Maria this morning. "We are finally to the point where we are going to put out the text over July 4th." "Give people one last really thorough look at the bill." "And then we are moving in July." After months of fighting. After three rounds of objections. After the banks, Jamie Dimon, and stalled negotiations. A real timeline. With a real month attached. July. This is the woman who has carried this bill from the beginning. When Lummis says they're moving. She means it. The text drops over July 4th. The final review happens. Then the vote. All before the August recess closes the window. Here is what's waiting on the other side. - $20,000,000,000,000 in sidelined institutional capital. - Legal clarity for Bitcoin, stablecoins, and tokens. - The framework that turns America into the crypto capital of the world. The bill that survived everything thrown at it. Now has a finish line in sight. July. Be positioned before they cross it.show more

JPMorgan's JPM Coin just landed in Argentina, and it... could be the start of a much bigger Latin American push. A group of Argentine banks including Banco CMF through its corporate unit QORP has begun piloting JPM Coin, JPMorgan's fiat-backed deposit token, for interbank settlement and reconciliation. The pilot is currently running without real money, using blockchain to record and reconcile transactions while traditional systems handle final settlement, but Banco CMF's CIO says the goal is to verify improvements in settlement times of up to 50%. Banco Galicia, BIND, and Banco Comafi are reportedly evaluating whether to join. The timing is notable. Argentina's central bank still bars banks from offering crypto to customers, but internal blockchain use is not prohibited, and that restriction is under active review. JPMorgan opened JPM Coin to institutional clients on the Base Layer 2 network in November 2025 and expanded to the Canton Network in January. The Argentine pilot is its first confirmed emerging market foothold. Latin America recorded $1.5 trillion in crypto transaction volume between 2022 and 2025. If Argentina proves out the model, JPMorgan has explicitly flagged Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico as the next logical targets.show more

We are excited to announce our $8.3M Series A... to build the financial control layer for companies operating across stablecoin, crypto and fiat rails. Stablecoins settle in seconds. Yet too many treasury, risk, and compliance controls still run on business-day logic. Range closes that gap: a single real-time platform unifying your wallets, custodians, bank accounts, and exchanges, with risk and compliance controls that screen transactions before money moves and full visibility across rails. This round brings our total funding to $11M. Investors in the round include TX Ventures, Maven 11, SixThirty Ventures, Stellar, Onigiri Capital, and others. Range is already running at scale: - $30B+ in assets under management protected - 99.41% of all stablecoin payments tracked across 200+ networks - 10,000+ integrations across banks, custodians, and wallets See what total financial control looks like across stablecoins, crypto and fiat 👇show more

THIS IS REALLY CONCERNING 🇺🇸 US government's cash balance... has almost reached $1T, its highest level in 5 years. The TGA (Treasury General Account) balance is up $300 billion over the past month, reaching almost $1 trillion. TGA is the US government's primary operating account, held at the Fed. When TGA balance rises, it drains liquidity from the system. When TGA balance falls, it pumps liquidity into the system. Right now, TGA balance is increasing at a rapid pace, which means liquidity is being taken out. Here's why this is bad: 1) Liquidity drain When TGA rises, bank reserves fall. This reduces the cash banks have available to lend or hold as buffers. When this gets extreme, it causes SOFR to spike, which creates stress in money markets. 2) Rising bond yields TGA is often funded by increasing T-bill supply. This pushes bond prices lower and yields higher, which is bad for the economy. 3) Downward pressure on assets When TGA rises quickly, SOFR spikes and bond yields surge. Both of them are bad for risk-on assets, especially crypto. In October 2025, the TGA balance almost reached $1T, and we all saw what happened to the crypto market after that. What could happen next? When liquidity gets drained, the crypto market feels it the earliest. Also, May has started, which has historically been bearish for the crypto market during mid-term election years. This doesn't mean BTC will drop immediately, but from here, the max pain is to the downside.show more

They don't make 'em like Neil Warnock any more.... The legendary gaffer used to pick the team based on his wife's dreams. And on one occasion this led to a mad result... The night before a big FA Cup tie with Wolves, Warnock's wife Sharon dreamed that a right back would score the winning goal. The next morning, Neil walked into the dressing room and told them about the dream. "Danny Butterfield", he said, pointing to the club's second choice right-back. "You're playing up front". The players were baffled: Butterfield had scored 1 goal in 6 years. But Sharon must have been on to something... Butterfield scored a 6 minute hat-trick Palace won 3-1.show more

Ray Dalio is right about one thing: Bitcoin forces... you to think harder. But zoom out. 1) “Bitcoin has no privacy.” Bitcoin is pseudonymous, not anonymous. That’s by design. Transparency is what makes it auditable, trust-minimized, and globally verifiable. Privacy isn’t binary — it’s a spectrum. Second-layer solutions like Lightning Network improve transactional privacy, and self-custody + best practices eliminate counterparty surveillance. If your definition of “privacy” is “opaque like the banking system,” then yes — Bitcoin is different. It replaces institutional secrecy with mathematical transparency. 2) “Central banks don’t want to buy Bitcoin.” Correct. Central banks also didn’t want the internet, stablecoins, or gold leaving their vaults. Bitcoin isn’t competing for central bank approval. It’s competing as neutral collateral in a world of weaponized fiat. When sovereign debt hits structural limits, assets without counterparty risk win. That’s why individuals, institutions, ETFs, and even nation-states accumulate it — regardless of central bank preferences. 3) “Quantum computing issues.” If quantum breaks Bitcoin’s cryptography, it breaks the entire global financial system first — SWIFT, online banking, military communications. Bitcoin can upgrade via consensus long before that scenario materializes. Cryptography evolves. That’s not a flaw; that’s software. 4) “Relatively small and controlled market.” Every monetization process starts small. Gold was once a niche commodity. The internet was once “small and controlled.” Bitcoin’s market cap reflects 15 years of monetization — with no CEO, no marketing budget, and no state backing. And “controlled”? Try censoring a decentralized network running across tens of thousands of nodes worldwide. Dalio views Bitcoin through a macro-hedge lens. But Bitcoin isn’t just an asset. It’s: •Programmatic scarcity (21M hard cap) •Final settlement without intermediaries •Borderless value transfer •A hedge against monetary debasement The real question isn’t whether central banks want Bitcoin. It’s whether individuals want money that can’t be inflated, frozen, or diluted. History suggests they do.show more

🚨 Albert Einstein’s last words weren’t recorded… But his... final idea might be more important than anything he ever said: “Past, present and future… is only a stubbornly persistent illusion. Let that sink in. If time isn’t flowing the way we think… then nothing is really “moving forward.” What we call reality might just be a structure… that we’re experiencing slice by slice. Time isn’t a line l it’s a field Particles aren’t things they’re stable patterns in that field “Now” is just where your awareness intersects it So the real question is Are we moving through time… or is time moving through us?

🚨 Francisco conceicao on Ronaldo not passing the ball... to him on Portugal 2-1 win over chile: 🗣️ “I felt I was in a much better position to take the shot and score but Ronaldo didn’t pass the ball Sometimes in football moments like that are what decided games We had opportunities in transition where the right decision could have changed everything, but it didn’t happen in that moment. We ended up going 1 man down and having to fight to take something out of the game but at the World Cup we need to work as a team to achieve our goal At this level, small details matter a lot. One pass, one decision, one second can completely change the direction of a match. We have the quality in this team, but we need more understanding in those situations, especially in the final third. If we want to go far in the World Cup, we cannot rely on individual moments we must move as one unit and make the best choice for the team every time.” {talkSPORT }show more

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝗨𝗦 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗙𝗶 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁... 𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀? For much of early 2026, precious metals were the biggest driver of TradFi trading on crypto exchanges. Gold, in particular, attracted traders looking for stability during uncertain market conditions. But June changed everything. According to CoinGecko's latest report, US stock trading volume jumped from $43.40B in May to $189.84B in June, overtaking precious metals to become the largest TradFi category across the six exchanges studied. 📊 What does this tell us? This isn't just a spike in trading activity. It signals a shift in what crypto users want access to. Instead of using centralized exchanges only for digital assets, more traders are now looking for exposure to traditional financial markets without leaving the platforms they already use. The lines between crypto and TradFi are becoming increasingly blurred. Another interesting takeaway is that different exchanges are finding different strengths rather than competing in exactly the same way. For example, the report shows MEXC ranked #1 in precious-metals trading volume during April and May 2026, while the rapid growth of US stocks has intensified competition across the industry. Rather than asking which exchange is "winning," a more interesting question is: Are crypto exchanges evolving into true multi-asset trading platforms? If the current trend continues, the future may not be about choosing between crypto and traditional markets, it may simply be about accessing both from one place.
