Today I cover the Senate pushback against an SBF pardon, a housing bill deal with a CBDC ban through 2030, Binance’s reported MiCA trouble in Europe, Christine Lagarde’s digital euro argument, stablecoin risk warnings from the IMF, Illinois’ new crypto transaction tax, and a Bitcoin, AI, and energy summit in Mexico.
