JUST IN: New York bill would severely curtail prediction markets by banning PMs on sporting events, ban market makers, require RG safeguards, and raise minimum age to 21. Would empower AG to impose $50K/violation and $1m/day civil penalties and obtain 2x disgorgement of profits.

Glad to see progress in NY. Staking services aren’t securities - hope all other states stuck in the past can drop their lawsuits and catch up soon (CA, WI, NJ, MD).

Happy staking, New Yorkers!

Modern nostalgia -- paper tickets for @Capitals games are back.

Caps season-ticket holders will be able to get collectible tickets for all home games.

Can we say paper tickets is innovation? I love music on vinyl -- so yes we will!

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER WAS A LACROSSE PLAYER? 😳

Before he won the @BMW Championship this weekend, world No. 1 stayed at the home of the legendary Kelly family.

There, he got to play some lacrosse, a sport he grew up with in Texas.

66K grassroots crypto advocates in Illinois and 2.3M SWC advocates nationally...

Insulting the millions of crypto voters on both sides of the political aisle who want to make the US the crypto capital of the world is a bold strategy for someone who wants to run for president.
