SELF CHECKOUT by Jack Butcher✅ Mint: https://receipts.vv.xyz/ X: https://x.com/jackbutcher Jack just rolled out a new conceptual experiment: you choose how much you want to pay, and the receipt itself becomes the artwork. Its length expands based on the amount you contribute. A live dashboard tracks whether the project will recover the $74,211 production cost — or end up publicly in the red. Personally, I treat it more like supporting the artist with no expectations attached. But knowing Jack Butcher, he rarely launches anything without a deeper idea behind it, so the curiosity around this drop makes sense. For context, here are some of his collections and their current floor prices: Opepen Edition — 0.097E (~$309) Checks — VV Originals — 0.21E (~$686) Checks — VV Edition — 0.25E (~$810) Gas Wars — 0.2E (~$637) Signature — 0.3E (~$959)

Senate Democrats unveil own crypto market structure framework, setting stage for bipartisan talks A group of 12 Senate Democrats introduced a detailed seven-pillar framework on Tuesday for regulating U.S. crypto markets, marking the party's most comprehensive proposal to date. While the plan signals Democrats' readiness to negotiate with Republicans on long-stalled market structure legislation, it also sharpens the dividing lines over ethics and enforcement. The group, including Senators Ruben Gallego, Mark Warner, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Cory Booker, framed the nearly $4 trillion global crypto market as too large to remain in regulatory limbo. Their blueprint emphasizes investor protections, closing regulatory gaps, and curbing what they describe as potential corruption linked to President Trump and his family's various crypto ventures. https://www.theblock.co/post/370018/senate-democrats-crypto-market-structure-framework
