Act I of crypto was proving it could exist. Act II is proving it can be trusted at scale. MiCA is Europe drawing that line, and we are ready. Full authorization, one of the deepest license stacks on the continent, European customers served since 2011. Regulation did not slow us down. It is the runway. Now we grow.

Bought a Mac Mini a few weeks ago to experiment with @openclaw.

Now my AI agent @BelltheBot 🔔 runs her own:

• YouTube channel
• Blog
• Tutorials on building agent systems

This space is moving insanely fast and the limit is really our imaginations.

Here's the intro video - all YouTube shorts can now be fully automated via CLI from prompt straight to youtube production.

Working on deeper automation with agents. Really incredible how far along the tech is.

@hellonatch @openclaw @belltheBot I'm working on a video right now! The short answer is @elevenlabs API with voice configuration and ID 👇

[Kraken @krakenfx]

A historic moment for crypto.

Kraken Financial has been granted a Federal Reserve master account, making us the first digital asset bank with direct access to the U.S. payments system.

A major step toward connecting crypto infrastructure with the core rails of global finance.

@jessepollak @brian_armstrong @iampaulgrewal We used to do CB Legal peloton rides in the morning and Paul would absolutely smoke everyone. Guy is a beast.

@cbventures @coinbase Working on adding one more to this list :)

And one thing I learned during my time at CB was the importance of clear communication. Being direct and succinct is critical, particularly in impactful, quickly moving situations.

Cut through the noise and ship 💪

Every bank on Earth scrambling to launch a stablecoin.

[Thor Mathison @Thormathison]

The GENIUS Act is going to blow the doors off of stablecoin adoption.

Internal discussions will quickly move from "Should we even touch stables?" to "What is our stablecoin strategy?"

[DEGEN NEWS @DegenerateNews]

BREAKING: APPLE, X, AIRBNB, AND GOOGLE ARE ALL HOLDING EARLY CONVERSATIONS WITH CRYPTO FIRMS ABOUT INTEGRATING STABLECOINS - PER FORTUNE SOURCES

[Thor Mathison @Thormathison]

The GENIUS Act sets a new bar for stablecoin compliance: AML, transaction blocking, auditability, and more.

Here’s what it means for builders and how we’re tackling it at @GetCryptia:

D.C. is getting serious about stablecoins and, with that, ensuring strict regulatory AML compliance in crypto.

As new and existing companies look to expand into the stablecoin space, off the shelf compliance solutions will be needed.

We are working on building them. Stay tuned!

[Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent @SecScottBessent]

The Trump Administration is going big on digital assets.

Why? Because the previous administration nearly destroyed the industry with its anti-innovation agenda and regulation-by-enforcement approach.

No more.

Digital asset companies deserve regulatory clarity—and that’s exactly what we are working toward.

Passing the stablecoin bill is just the start.
