Paul Sztorc spent years building a technical case for Bitcoin sidechains. Then he attached a Satoshi coin redistribution to the proposal.
The administration going on record is not the same as the bill being done. It does mean the version the banking lobby has been shaping probably isn't the version that passes.
Holding the coin got you into a dinner at the President's house. That is not a joke.
The SEC-CFTC taxonomy doesn't end the regulatory fight. It replaces the fight with a liability chart, and the chart has names on it.
The regulatory chokehold that kept BTC and ETH as the only crypto ETFs for two years just broke. Everything already filed is on a 75-day clock.
When the person who wrote the biggest check sues before the product ships, the problem predates the product.
A twelve-bank consortium just turned MiCAR compliance into a product. That's what eats EURC's European share.
