On January 10, 2026 at around 11 pm UTC a victim lost $282M+ worth of LTC & BTC due to a hardware wallet social engineering scam.

The attacker began converting the stolen LTC & BTC to Monero via multiple instant exchanges causing the XMR price to sharply increase.

BTC was also bridged to Ethereum, Ripple, & Litecoin via Thorchain.

[Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡ @shanaka86]

53 banking associations just wrote themselves a $6.6 trillion protection bill.

They called it the CLARITY Act.

Here is what they do not want you to understand.

Banks pay depositors 0.1% interest. Stablecoin issuers hold Treasury bills earning 4.5%. If stablecoins could pass that yield to users, banks lose the deposit war. They cannot compete. The math is fatal.

So they made competition illegal.

The Kansas City Fed calculated what happens if stablecoins pay competitive rates. Banks lose 25.9% of deposits. $1.5 trillion in lending capacity vanishes. The entire community banking model collapses.

Their solution was not innovation. Their solution was legislation.

The CLARITY Act everyone is celebrating contains Section 404 prohibiting yield payments through any mechanism. Not just from issuers. From exchanges. From affiliates. From partners. Every single pathway to competitive returns, closed by statute.

Brian Armstrong reviewed the 278-page draft for 48 hours. He withdrew Coinbase support at 11pm. The markup was postponed by morning. He saw what Wall Street analysts missed entirely.

This is not crypto regulation.

This is Dodd-Frank for digital assets. Incumbents writing rules that crush competitors. Regulatory capture so brazen they published the lobbying letters on their own websites.

The American Bankers Association. 52 state banking associations. The Community Bankers Council. All coordinating to eliminate an industry they cannot beat in open markets.

Meanwhile China made e-CNY interest-bearing on December 29.

America is banning stablecoin yield while Beijing is paying it.

The crypto industry spent years begging for regulatory clarity.

They got it.

Clarity that $6.6 trillion in deposits will be protected at any cost. Clarity that banks write the rules. Clarity that if you cannot win in markets, you win in Congress.

This is the largest regulatory capture event in American financial history.

And it is being sold as innovation policy.

CRITICAL - PAY ATTENTION

The Bank 🏦 Lobby is trying to hand China the keys to the future of money. 💰 💴

Right now, U.S. Senators are being pressured to "revisit" the GENIUS Act to ban third-party rewards on Stablecoins.

THIS IS A NATIONAL SECURITY TRAP 🪤

Today, the stakes are higher than ever because China officially began paying interest on the Digital Yuan (e-CNY) - making it a "yield-bearing" competitor to the USD. 

Meanwhile, the Bank Lobby - the American Bankers Association - is currently pressuring the Senate to close the "third-party loophole" in the GENIUS Act - which would stop companies like @coinbase @krakenfx @Gemini or @UpholdInc from giving those rewards to everyday Americans.

If we ban American companies from offering yield to YOU - we’re not "protecting banks" like the bank lobby claims - we’re forcing the world to use China’s currency instead of the USD. 

Why is the Bank Lobby so afraid of your Digital Dollars? Because they can’t "rent" your money back to you if you’re earning the yield yourself!

That’s why the Banking Policy Institute, led by Jamie Dimon, wrote @ewarren’s Anti-Crypto Bill in 2024 and why I continue to call her and @EdMarkey puppets for the Banking Industry.

If the Senate sells out to the Bank Lobby they are effectively taxing every retail investor and customer in MA and across the country to protect Wall Street's bottom line. PERIOD.

President Trump promised to make the U.S. the Crypto Capital of the World. We can't do that if career politicians serve as puppets for the bank lobby at the expense of ordinary Americans while also threatening NATIONAL SECURITY.

Stand with regular Americans - not the lobbyists - and keep the "Genius" in the Act and stop this sell-out.
