Stablecoins are centralized and their end is regulation. We are in a moment of history where they can get away with not being regulated because regulators don't really understand them yet, but it will happen whether it's in months or decades.

Yo wtf

"You buy $20,000 of Solana (SOL), a restricted cryptocurrency. You’ve now used $20,000 of your $30,000 annual limit. If you want to purchase more crypto, you are limited to buy a maximum of $10,000"

Glad to see Ethereum people pushing against regulations that privilege ETH over other legitimate cryptocurrencies.

(I have not dug into the details of what specifically is going on and to what extent it's a gov thing vs a compliance decision of one business, but either way…) https://t.co/NDYPh5rqsk

❗️ BBG: Because of the greatly increased "crypto-shares" correlation, crypto traders can no longer ignore what's happening in stocks.

The positive correlation between #BTC – #SPX is on a record right now. 👀 pic.twitter.com/c1NGeYLIXp
