Great to be back at the White House today alongside @realDonaldTrump, @SECPaulSAtkins, @ChairmanSelig and leaders across the crypto industry.

The big picture has never been clearer: 67 million Americans hold crypto today (that’s nearly 1 in 4!). Crypto isn't a fringe industry. And Washington DC knows the crypto voter is alive and well.

This President's incredible commitment to innovation and leadership around digital assets in the US has been profound. The future is bright.

@Ben_POOLIEY_YT @misat0x there's 100% evidence that JP Morgan invited the billionaires of America that were against a federal reserve at that time to sail on the Titanic and JP Morgan canceled that same trip he was going to be also on at the last minute coincidence highly doubtful

Hyperliquid (HYPE) posted strong gains amid positive developments, including expanded roles for Coinbase with its ecosystem. Cross-chain protocol THORChain faced an exploit estimated around $10 million, leading to a temporary trading halt and a drop in its RUNE token. Corporate activity included Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) planning bond repurchases potentially funded by Bitcoin sales, alongside high trading volumes in related shares. These events highlight ongoing innovation, risks in DeFi infrastructure, and institutional integration in the sector.

Major Bitcoin Mining Pools Commit to Stratum V2 Protocol Upgrade. Seven prominent Bitcoin mining pools, representing nearly 75% of global hashrate including Foundry, AntPool, F2Pool, SpiderPool, and MARA Pool have joined the Stratum V2 working group. This adoption represents a substantial push toward decentralizing block construction, potentially improving miner profitability, efficiency, security, and privacy by returning more decision-making to individual miners. The move is viewed as one of the most meaningful decentralization shifts in Bitcoin mining in recent years. Implementation timelines vary, but the broad industry backing signals strong momentum for the open standard originally developed to address limitations in the older Stratum protocol.

Bitcoin Experiences Sharp Pullback After Regulatory Optimism. Bitcoin prices declined notably on May 16, sliding toward the $78,000 level after briefly erasing recent gains tied to legislative developments. This movement triggered significant liquidations, with around $500 million in leveraged crypto long positions wiped out across major assets. Broader market pressures, including rising oil prices above $100 amid geopolitical tensions and shifting expectations for Federal Reserve policy, contributed to the sell-off. Bitcoin had approached or tested the $82,000 mark multiple times recently but faced resistance, while spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows around $290 million on May 15. Despite the short-term dip, analysts monitor key support levels near recent lows, with some viewing the action as profit-taking after a period of strength.

World Liberty Financial (WLFI) Executes Major Token Burn Amid Ongoing Volatility and Governance Developments. The Trump-linked World Liberty Financial project burned approximately $6.67 million worth of WLFI tokens in under 24 hours through a mechanism involving team-linked addresses and a vesting contract. This action, representing about 10% of certain allocations, aims to address supply concerns and support the token’s value amid a challenging market environment. WLFI has faced price pressure and record lows earlier, alongside governance proposals for phased unlocks and vesting following holder feedback. The burn represents a notable supply-reduction effort in the project’s evolving strategy.

Tokenization and Institutional Developments Continue to Gain Traction. Wall Street interest in tokenization accelerated, with discussions around tokenizing stock markets and new facilities enabling instant redemptions for tokenized funds (e.g., BlackRock’s BUIDL). Partnerships involving stablecoins like USDC on platforms such as Hyperliquid expanded infrastructure. These moves reflect ongoing integration of crypto rails into traditional finance, supported by regulatory progress.

CLARITY Act Advances in Senate Committee, Signaling Progress on Crypto Regulation. The Senate Banking Committee advanced the CLARITY Act in a bipartisan vote, moving the legislation closer to full congressional consideration. The bill addresses digital asset market structure, stablecoins, and related frameworks, with expectations of further amendments. Industry observers, including Hashdex, suggest markets may be underpricing the potential passage, which could unlock greater institutional participation. Banking groups expressed concerns over certain provisions, such as stablecoin yields, but crypto advocates mobilized in support.
