I’m glad to see so many dems voting in favor of the GENIUS act because crypto should not be partisan. I maintain it’s an unforced error by the industry (and legislators) to impose a 10bn cap on state regulated issuers, but a W is a W. Stablecoins are here to stay (which I never doubted).

This warrants its own PSA. Next time you need a summary of a legal doc that’s in PDF (proposed bills, court documents, etc.) use NotebookLM. My experience has been far better than with ChatGPT, Harvey, or copilot.

Anyone have a good resource on the actual legal questions at issue in today’s SCOTUS rulings? Headlines on the substance and facts are are intense, but I’m struggling to find a good summary on what the legal questions before the court actually were.

Fannie and Freddie ordered to consider crypto assets to facilitate mortgage lending, but only if the assets are held with a US regulated exchange (not assets held in self custody). This is a step in the right direction, but the biggest winners from this will be the centralized / regulated FIs.

This has the potential to be a big deal in the universe of not letting industries get arbitrarily debanked.

Hearing that market structure bill is getting tied up on conflict of interest provisions. Do the law and policy folks here think those provisions need to stay or are they negotiable?

Any conlaw types on here? Would love a summary on the legality of the national guard / marine deployment situation in LA with minimal political commentary and a focus on the legal issues.

Federal district court in Texas halts enforcement on $250 CTR requirements near the southern border. Fringe case in some ways, but notable that courts are finding a limit to how far the BSA permits mass financial surveillance. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69829398/59/texas-association-of-money-services-businesses-v-bondi/

I agree we should all care about stablecoin legislation, but I’m struggling to get excited about or support a bill that (a) blanket bans yield/interest, and (b) forces state-regulated issuers into a federal regime based on market cap, which is not a tech-neutral outcome for payment instruments.

Ok I love 8sleep but I feel like the new release cycle is too aggressive. Upgraded from 3 to 4 less than a year ago and now they’re spamming me about the 5?!

CFPB withdraws 67 guidance docs — policy statements, interpretive rules, and advisory opinions. Most, tho not all, date from the prior administration. https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-08286.pdf
