@CoinDesk@EricBalchunas Does the Clarity Act threaten self-custody? Yes, by shifting the definition of what is "lawful."
Not coincidence privacy coins have been rallying and BTC falling. BTC should be privacy first to regain momentum.
Bill Pulte has weaponized information from housing agencies he oversees to gin up prosecutions of Trump’s political rivals.
Now he's being put in charge of the agency that assesses foreign influence and interference in US elections. That's dangerous. https://t.co/fVS2xt2J7q
Financial surveillance has been expanding for 55 years, and the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act is only the latest expansion, explains Cato’s @EconWithNick.
“Rather than rope new innovations into the old system, Congress should recognize that people want to reclaim their privacy,” he says.

Phase 1 locked down. One giant step closer to claiming the official $cheems ticker tag natively on the Hyperliquid L1.
The "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act" might look like regular market structure, but its failure will be a massive win for financial privacy.
Stopping the bill means no automated "intermediary policing" AND keeps the Treasury from flat-out blacklisting privacy tools and users.
No foreign government should have privileged or embedded access to American national security agencies. This should be obvious, but former intelligence and military officials have been saying out loud, publicly, that Israeli working groups and liaison arrangements operate inside our own national security apparatus with a level of access no other relationship resembles. Whatever the precise arrangements, the principle is simple and universal: the agencies that determine American foreign and defense policy answer to the American people only, not to any foreign capital.
End the privileged access. A national security apparatus penetrated by foreign interests is not a national security apparatus at all — it is a liability wearing the costume of one.
Selloff on Bitcoin quite insane actually
Also other thing which is quite insane is that the market never ever moved this way, the core dynamics between alts and BTC are deeply shifting, which has never happened before
Extremely positive for the industry as a whole
The top 2 institutional majors are bleeding *because* they became part of the legacy financial system.
The market is waking up to the reality of "surveillance finance". If you're fully transparent, you're target practice.
Privacy isn't a "disgrace" its necessary for real adoption
It’s such a disgrace to the crypto industry that the top 2 majors with institutional approved ETF’s are bleeding a slow death while absolute dog shit like Near and Zec are outperforming and showing immense strength.
When the meme coin you bought on a drunken bender crashes 99.2% and you gotta pull up to the blockchain creator’s house like, *'Where the fuck is my money, Jack?'*" $HC #Hyperliquid#Base
Let’s be real: if the market didn’t crash before privacy coins took off, Citadel and Ken Griffin would’ve manufactured a localized apocalypse to crash crypto just as it went parabolic. No way they were letting private money succeed on their watch. 🖨️📉 #Hyperliquid#Base $HC
$STRC is down to $94.85, putting the current yield at 12.12%. The lower the price falls, the higher $MSTR will have to increase the dividend to bring the share price back up to $100. That means MSTR will run out of cash much sooner, pulling forward Bitcoin sales to fund payments.
