The new market structure bill text came out last night. A lot has changed since the draft that came out in September, and the devil is in the details. Amendments are due by 5 pm ET, so it's a mad scramble today identifying critical issues to fix in markup. Sadly there are many.

China has decided to pay interest on their own stablecoin, because it benefits ordinary people, and they recognize it as a competitive advantage. I worry we are missing the forest through the trees in the U.S. Rewards on stablecoins will not change lending one bit - but it does
And of course, as the Senate deliberates, China understands the opportunity the bank lobby is poised to give them and announces that they will pay interest to users of the Digital Yuan. Undermining the supremacy of the USD has been a longstanding goal of the PRC - the Senate

People are worried about the wrong $MSTR risk - getting delisted by MSCI - not a big deal (marginally bad for stock, irrelevant for $BTC) - BTC crashing - irrelevant for MSTR (they will never be a forced seller. 2+ years of cash & no covenants forcing sales) The biggest risk is

So when China launches a special op to seize the president of Taiwan: or Russia tries to do the same for Zelensky - what exactly do we say? You can’t do that, it’s illegal?

Exactly - U.S. stablecoins must remain competitive on a global stage.
For those who misunderstand what’s at stake in the debate on offering rewards on US-issued stablecoins under the GENIUS Act, a sobering and timely announcement from the People’s Bank of China that they plan to pay interest on the Digital Yuan. 🇨🇳🇨🇳 Tokenization is the future and

SUI was DDoS attacked yesterday causing mass delays Proving again that 127 validators is not enough Sufficient decentralization demands a larger attack surface Let this be a lesson for SOL not to let validator counts drop too low. We must win on scalability & decentralization!

Bitwise just filed amendment for its Hyperliquid ETF which added the 8a thing, the fee (67bps) and the ticker $BHYP. Usually that means launch imminent. Stay tuned.

Bernstein: "In view of recent market correction, we believe, the Bitcoin cycle has broken the 4-year pattern (cycle peaking every 4 years) and is now in an elongated bull-cycle with more sticky institutional buying offsetting any retail panic selling. Despite a ~30% Bitcoin

Read between the lines of Citadel's "everyone in crypto is an intermediary" letter to the SEC and you see an attempt to establish standing for a lawsuit once the SEC adopts its long-promised innovation exemption. TradFi's about to run the crypto policy playbook circa 2023. Glhf!

“For the first time ever, spot crypto can trade on CFTC-registered exchanges that have been the gold standard for nearly a hundred years”… IMO, basically paves way for *every* major brokerage to offer spot crypto trading & feel comfortable from a regulatory perspective. Huge.

There have been five major bull market cycles in $BTC since inception. In all previous cycles the violation of the dominant parabolic advance has been followed by a 75%-plus correction -- NO EXCEPTIONS!! You better have a great reason to bet against this pattern.

Nov was a choppy month and down -6% at one point but S&P 500 managed to gain +0.20%, a sign of strength - we see multiple tailwinds into year-end - including end of Fed’s QT and a Dec Fed cut Great speaking with @JoeSquawk and @BeckyQuick on @SquawkCNBC this am @fs_insight
“I think the biggest tailwind that’s going to emerge in the coming weeks is going to be the central bank,” says Tom Lee of @fundstrat on markets: https://t.co/vknt6AnFYR

Today is the beginning of the end of $MSTR. Saylor was forced to sell stock not to buy Bitcoin, but to buy U.S. dollars merely to fund MSTR's interest and dividend obligations. The stock is broken. The business model is a fraud, and @Saylor is the biggest con man on Wall Street.

I just wish, hope, and pray that MSTR is not the LUNA of this cycle. Another public, but this time, Wall Street–retail-entangled death spiral is the last thing this industry needs. Hoping Saylor can pull some Wall Street voodoo magic.

Q: Will Strategy sell BTC? Saylor: Yes, we could sell BTC or BTC derivatives when mNAV falls below 1x because it's in the best interest of the shareholder, for the company & BTC!!!
$MSTR announces the formation of a $1.44 billion USD Reserve and an increase in its BTC Reserve to 650,000 $BTC.
