Solana is testing quantum-resistant signatures before quantum computing becomes a real threat. Good move.

🚨 TOMORROW COULD BE CRYPTO'S MAKE OR BREAK IN DC
Senate Banking Committee votes on the CLARITY Act May 14 the first real US crypto bill ever.
It draws the line: SEC for securities, CFTC for the rest.
Over 100 amendments filed, banking lobby fighting dirty to kill it. One holdout Republican senator can torpedo the whole thing.
This is the big one. Watch closely.
SBF may go down as both a fraud and one of the most insane missed VC fortunes ever. Forbes says his early bets - including Anthropic, SpaceX, Robinhood, and Cursor - could have made him another $100B if FTX hadn’t collapsed and the estate hadn’t liquidated so early.
FTX creditors should be furious.
Not over SBF's fraud...
Over the Anthropic stake liquidation. 😡

Bybit co-founder Ben Zhou names Georgia a key regional center for the crypto industry.
Hard to disagree! The country is in strategic location at Europe, Middle East, Asia crossroads, has fairly advanced VASP licensing system established years ago and Georgia's Central bank as regulator ensures fast processes, unlike other jurisdictions. #crypto #Georgia
Bahrain 🇧🇭 is a great place to invest in.
The country has everything one might need for a successful venture: a great environment, competitive tax system, excellent banking, access to a skilled workforce, and most importantly, safety. It’s an underrated pearl of the Gulf.
Core PPI hit 0.7% last month, crushing forecasts and lifting USD and yields. Economists expect 0.3% now as markets brace for another surprise.
One hot print and the rate cut fairy vanishes. Inflation loves big government. #investing
A crypto trader says a former Revolut employee tried to extort him using leaked personal data. Revolut confirmed it reported the case to law enforcement.
Not the first time centralized databases turn citizens into hostages.
Bitcoin Lightning just crossed 1B monthly. Banks still pushing paper and permission slips.
US President Donald Trump has extended sanctions on Russia for another year due to its aggression against Ukraine.
