This lawsuit highlights a dangerous gap in the fight against illicit finance in crypto. Right now, exchanges and issuers can’t freeze stablecoins if they suspect illicit activity without fear of a lawsuit. Section 305 of the Clarity Act gives issuers and exchanges the power they need to stop illicit finance in its tracks without having civil liability. coindesk.com/business/2026/…

Interest rates have two components: time value of money and default risk. If central planners set rates artificially low, inflation goes higher. If markets set rates, they rise to ensure 1) the money lent buys the same amount of stuff when it is repaid (TVM) and 2) default risk the long run, markets set rates.
Default risk higher. TVM higher. Rates will be higher.
Stablecoins may provide some reliefby increasing demand for Treasuries. Stablecoins are theoretically more secure than fractional reserve banking, but yield needs to flow to the bearer for that to be true. Thus the fight about stablecoin yield...

Ok, let me be more precise than @grok was, since several people seem to be missing the point cleverly made by @luke_broyles.
Scott has an income of $55,000 per year.
The US collects roughly $5.5 trillion in revenue (taxes, tariffs, etc)
Scott spends $75,000 per year ($10,000 on guns).
The US spend roughly $7.5 trillion per year, more than $1 trillion on Defense.
Scott grows his debt by $20,000 per year.
Total federal debt is growing exponentially, by about $2 trillion per year.
Scott has total debt right now of $400,000.
The US currently has $40 trillion in debt.
Scott has fixed unfunded liabilities of $1,750,000 and is less than 10 years from retirement.
Unfunded liabilities are promises to pay in the future, like Social Security.
Scott's own employees say that his 130% debt will be 690% by the year 2096.
CBO says nothing stops this train, and it's accelarating.
Scott needs to refinance roughly $100,000 in the next 12 months to stay solvent.
Bonds have a maturity date. The US must redeem the bond for its face value. We have no money, so more debt is needed.
What is happening now? Scott has a Japanese friend who is his biggest lender (despite being in even more debt) that just told Scott he might need to unwind $110,000 of Scott's debt to the open market. Therefore Scot sent his Japanese friend "$50-$100" this summer to keep him calm and ask him to not dump the debt.
This is a reference to US actions to deter Japan from dumping Treasuries.
The credit card companies Scott borrows from are refusing to give him cheap debt anymore, and are giving him 19 year highs on interest rates. Scott said on August 19th that because nobody is buying his credit card debt that he will "at least double" the rate he is buying back his own credit card debt with new debt he takes out.
This part relates to Scott Bessent's plan to monetize the debt. Since there are not enough buyers, the Treasury plans to buy back it's own debt. Circle...
The credit card companies didn't like that and offered him even higher rates 24 hours later.
Lenders correctly see this as a sign of distress, making default on the outstanding debt more likely. Consequently, market rates are moving higher.
Sound money is essential to defending freedom. We don't have sound money. Consequences will get worse. Make a plan. Luke's plan is Bitcoin.

View Stance DetailsSome community banks are suggesting stablecoins are driving deposit flight. The data says otherwise: BofA shows household deposits rising across income groups this year, and the FDIC reports domestic deposits grew for a seventh straight quarter. Community banks actually outperformed the industry, posting 5% deposit growth.
If the worry is the Clarity Act compromise itself, that’s backwards. Section 404 bars stablecoin issuers from paying anything that functions like interest, even disguised as rewards or points, and bans marketing stablecoins as deposits or FDIC-insured. It’s actually tougher than current law, not looser.
The real story behind closing community banks isn’t stablecoins. It’s consolidation: 2,000 community banks lost in a decade, only 62 new ones formed, and the buyers are super regional banks, not crypto companies.
The Banking Committee already built a nine-provision community bank package into the housing bill to help with deposit retention, on top of tightening stablecoin yield rules under Clarity.

1. She claims the blind trust is a shell game. It’s not. By law (5 U.S.C. §13104(f)(3)(A) and 5 C.F.R. 2634.403), a trustee is barred from disclosing trust holdings back to the official. That’s not a loophole, it’s literally what makes a blind trust blind. Read the law for yourself below.
2. She claims $TRUMP proves the president would create new coins. But $TRUMP launched when President Trump was a private citizen. The ethics ban applies to conduct while serving. You can’t retroactively ban something that happened before the law — or the presidency — existed. That’s how the law in the Soviet Union worked, not America.
3. She acts like Trump’s adult children running WLF is some unprecedented dodge. It’s not. Federal ethics law has never imputed financial interests from adult, independent children — only spouses and minor children. That’s not new to this bill; it’s how conflict-of-interest law has worked for decades.

There’s been progress since — thousands of hours of bipartisan negotiations took place at the staff and Member levels. The Senate Committees on Banking and Agriculture advanced their respective titles. And Senate Republicans produced a floor-ready product that, as I type this, is waiting for a vote.
It’s disappointing — but not surprising — that Senate Democrats are choosing politics on the cusp of a major victory for American leadership. Find another instance in history where Congress, when given the choice, opted to push an industry out of the United States rather than smartly regulate it. American Exceptionalism was once a bipartisan goal; if Clarity fails, I have serious doubts.
These same Democrats — many of whom have taken millions of dollars from the crypto industry — proclaim that Clarity lacks safeguards for consumers and falls short in countering illicit finance. Nothing could be further from the truth. Titles II and III materially uplift regulatory and compliance obligations for digital asset intermediaries, placing them on similar footing with traditional financial institutions. The Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act — which Washington lobbyists have spun up as a boogeyman for certain groups of prosecutors and law enforcement — does nothing other than codify longstanding Treasury Department policy that’s remained consistent across Administrations: non-custodial builders and developers are not, and have never been, subject to registration obligations under the Bank Secrecy Act. And at this point, major law enforcement trades that once opposed the bill, including the Fraternal Order of Police, have now endorsed it.
The Senate needs to vote NOW on this landmark legislation. The truth is that Senate Democrats are afraid to advance the Clarity Act as they fear Senator Warren and the “Anti-Crypto Army” she once promised to build.

And at this point, major law enforcement trades that once opposed the bill, including the Fraternal Order of Police, have now endorsed it.
The Senate needs to vote NOW on this landmark legislation. The truth is that Senate Democrats are afraid to advance the Clarity Act as they fear Senator Warren and the “Anti-Crypto Army” she once promised to build. In the days ahead, Leader Thune will put this theory to the test. Will Senate Democrats be on the side of American Exceptionalism, or will they opt to cede American leadership of a global industry for fear of the bespectacled squirrel’s Left flank?
America will lead or America won’t. It’s not more complicated than that. I believe Satoshi once said it best:
“If you don’t believe me or don’t get it, I don’t have time to try to convince you, sorry.”

No one in this Chamber gets to act surprised by that." [S4361]

“If you’re a crypto exchange, get ready to be regulated like a bank.”
@RepFrenchHill joins @NikMilanovic on a special edition of Stable Pulse to explain what clearer rules mean for crypto exchanges as they move beyond trading and into regulated financial services.
Regulatory clarity will determine which services exchanges can offer themselves, including custody, payments and stablecoin products, and where they will still need a bank or another regulated partner.
Bringing those capabilities in-house can improve margins, strengthen control of the customer relationship and reduce partner dependence, but it also shifts responsibility for safeguarding assets, managing risk and meeting supervisory requirements to the exchange.
As exchanges assume responsibilities historically carried by financial institutions, they will increasingly be expected to meet the same regulatory standard.
