I'm back from a week at my mom's house and now I'm getting ads for her toothpaste brand, the brand I've been putting in my mouth for a week. We never talked about this brand or googled it or anything like that.

As a privacy tech worker, let me explain why this is happening. 🧵

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 US Senate Banking Committee releases crypto Clarity Act draft bill.

[Michael Saylor @saylor]

Last night’s CLARITY Act markup would unlock the next wave of Digital Capital, Digital Credit, and Digital Equity in the U.S. and globally — institutional validation for $BTC, a framework for $STRC -powered digital yield markets, and broader adoption of $MSTR.

🚨🚨🚨There is a major flaw in the BRCA of the proposed Clarity Act:

(d) CLARIFICATION OF TREATMENT explicitly states that the protections in subsection (c) DO NOT EXTEND to (or "modify the application of") 18 U.S.C. § 1960(b)(1)(C) for a specific subset of conduct by an "initial person."

18 U.S.C. § 1960 prohibits operating an unlicensed money transmitting business. Subsection (b)(1)(C) covers cases involving the transportation or transmission of funds that the defendant knows are:

(1) Derived from a criminal offense (e.g., proceeds of fraud, drug trafficking, etc.); or

(2) Intended to be used to promote or support unlawful activity (e.g., funding terrorism, further crimes).

This is the exact 1960 subsection now being used to target developers. Every builder and developer knows their tool could be used for nefarious purposes. Under this law, that knowledge alone is enough to send you to prison for years. There is NO PROTECTION for developers in the Clarity Act while this carve out remains.

Quantum computing and Bitcoin is a nuanced conversation. The risk isn't uniform across the network, and the game theory around how a quantum capability would actually be used matters just as much as the technology itself.

@rcarback of Postquant labs, joined BitGo's High Roller Summit to break it down.

[BitGo @BitGo]

If holding a stablecoin starts to look an awful lot like a bank deposit, that's where the regulatory questions get real.

At BitGo's High Roller Summit, @SoFi's Simon Griffin broke down the difference between stablecoins and tokenized deposits, and why the final rulemaking on this will be one of the most consequential decisions for the industry.

COINBASE: NO MARGIN CALLS FOR BITCOIN-BACKED MORTGAGES

Coinbase says its crypto-backed mortgages will carry rates around 0.5% to 1.5% higher than a standard 30-year, depending on borrower profile.

Loans feature no margin calls or collateral top-ups.

BTC price drops do not change loan terms or trigger liquidation.

Collateral is only at risk after 60 days of missed payments, aligning with traditional mortgage standards.

As Venezuelans celebrate in the streets of New York…

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

I was briefed this morning on the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned imprisonment in federal custody here in New York City.

Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law.

This blatant pursuit of regime change doesn’t just affect those abroad, it directly impacts New Yorkers, including tens of thousands of Venezuelans who call this city home. My focus is their safety and the safety of every New Yorker, and my administration will continue to monitor the situation and issue relevant guidance.

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

Bringing Maduro to stand trial feels like a win for the region and the world.
