AI is eating culture. The EU says: Pay up.

A bold new copyright report just dropped from the European Parliament.

It doesn't ban GenAI — it demands accountability.

Here’s what’s inside 🧵

BPI President and CEO Greg Baer recently testified in front of the House Financial Services Committee.

He set the record straight on multiple misconceptions about the latest Basel proposal in his opening statement, including the false claim that the failure of Silicon Valley Bank means that all banks should hold more capital.

The IMF says the GENIUS Act cost payment firms ~$300 billion.

The market actually moved about 1%.

A prediction market supplied most of the rest.

That's where the story gets interesting.

Warsh’s predicament: The White House says he can still deliver cuts. Wall Street and some of his colleagues are eyeing hikes.

The cuts didn’t die just from Trump’s Hormuz fallout. The labor market firmed up, and AI started generating its own demand. https://t.co/0keCw6tLk6

A lot of people still think the biggest question in crypto is adoption.

I’m not so sure.

The bigger question may be: adoption on whose terms?

[Nick Timiraos @NickTimiraos]

Janet Yellen called Powell's stewardship of the Fed's independence "close to exemplary" at a retrospective hosted at the Brookings Institution on Tuesday.

Resisting recent pressure "required a kind of steadiness that good monetary policy judgment alone does not provide, and Jay Powell had that steadiness in abundance."

She outlined why she doesn't think it's enough to say the central bank's independence is up to the central bank.

"The Fed cannot defend itself alone."

She said the past several years have been "alarming and ultimately somewhat reassuring" that a broader coalition, "slow and imperfect as it is, exists, and can be rallied."

May 29 may become the most important crypto market-structure day of 2026.

Not because of price action.
Because U.S. regulators quietly operationalized perpetual crypto market infrastructure before Congress finalized the rulebook.
Here’s the sequence:

The sequence matters:

• perpetual futures approval
• federal review framework
• 24/7 infrastructure guidance
• regulated access to global liquidity

All on the same day.
