@Cointelegraph No cloture filed, no vote scheduled as of Aug 5. Thune promised a vote before recess on Aug 3. Still nothing. Shocking absolutely no one. 🙄
1/ They just told: the Fed dropped "MASSIVE" $8.6B liquidity into markets.
What they didn't screenshot: the schedule proving this was locked in since July. ⤵️

Fed buying bills on a pre-set calendar isn't stimulus. It's paperwork.
Dates were fixed weeks ago — 7/20, 7/22, 7/30, 8/4, 8/6, 8/11. Same amount, same rhythm, every time. Not a panic move. A routine one.

"But isn't that just QE with extra steps?" Not quite.
QE = the Fed expanding its balance sheet to flood markets during stress.
This = short-term bill purchases that were already on the calendar.
Same toolbox. Opposite intent.

The real question isn't what the Fed did. It's why a headline account chose "MASSIVE" for a program that's been running on autopilot for weeks.
Fear travels faster than footnotes. Worth asking who that serves.
🟡Numbers checked out. Framing didn't.
Genuine question: should headline accounts be required to disclose when something's routine vs new? 👇
DYOR/FAFO.
MASSIVE: The Fed will inject over $8.6 BILLION into markets this week.
The Federal Reserve conducted a $5.1 billion Treasury bill purchase operation today and has scheduled another $3.5 billion purchase for August 6, injecting a total of $8.6 billion in liquidity.
@vladtenev Future of crypto = RWAs, says CEO whose firm just launched an L2 for tokenized equities. Timing so perfect it feels reverse-engineered from the product roadmap.🤔
@vladtenev Pitched as the serious RWA chain, first big flex a week in is 'works great for memes too.' Permissionless neutrality, or just chasing whatever prints volume?🤔
@TedPillows Real question isn't casino or not — it's whether $400M+ in buybacks can absorb a 30% supply unlock hitting July 12. That's the actual test, not vibes.
@Cointelegraph “Bitcoin isn’t a democracy” — sure, but it sure seems to care a lot what one president tweets. Self-sovereignty with a Truth Social dependency. 😅
@Cointelegraph This is the one data point that actually supports the conviction thesis — 270K $BTC absorbed by whales in 14 days. Everything else is noise. 🟢
