🌟 Editor's Note
After looking at the results of my poll about starting a Discord or Telegram chat, I saw only 300 people wanted the option. Not sure if that says more about the quality of my newsletter or the general mood within crypto!
I’m told I need at least 500 people because 50% of those who say yes won’t join, 67% of those who join won’t participate, and 90% of those who participate won’t be active.
If you responded to the poll, maybe we can do something…need to think about this…ideas welcome!

On the one hand, it’s good to know somebody’s still making money from crypto. Namely, people associated with the Trump family.
On the other hand, you should read up on the details, the intended audience, and implications for crypto—your portfolio included.
Bottom line: The Federal Reserve no longer wants banks to be cautious or seek approval from regulators before dabbling in crypto and stablecoin activities.
My take: Pin this article for when the market’s down bad and gloomy, because here’s what’s going to fuel the next big crypto cycle—both from crypto entities getting access to more competitive financial services and investment relationships bridging the gap between legacy finance and digital assets.
Banks will need a few years to put the pieces together, but once they do, this will help open a new source of wealth and good vibes, potentially bigger than the ETFs have brought in.
(Assuming the US has any wealth or good vibes left by then.)
Why we care: We can weather any potential downturn knowing the wind is blowing in our favor.
