Banks Prepare To Spend $100 Million+ To Stop Crypto Bills, Expert Warns

The fight over US crypto legislation is intensifying into a direct clash between the digital asset industry and the established banking sector. According to Dennis Porter, CEO of the Satoshi Action Fund, the banking industry is preparing a massive lobbying push, potentially exceeding $100 million, to counteract efforts to advance crypto market structure and stablecoin legislation. Porter warns that this creates a significant counterbalance to crypto lobbying groups and could lead lawmakers to withdraw support. He states that crypto industry faces political challenges, including low public trust and ethical concerns linked to Trump family involvement. Furthermore, market structure legislation is politically difficult as it covers a wide range of complex issues. The banking industry holds an advantage due to its entrenched local influence, including physical branches and jobs in lawmakers' districts. Porter cautions that if the dispute escalates into an open lobbying war, it could jeopardize the already tight Senate vote. He also notes that the legislative window is narrowing as midterm elections approach, with electoral incentives increasingly shaping the calendar.

Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage Takes a Stake in Bitcoin Reserve Business

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has acquired a 6.3% stake, valued at approximately £215,000, in a Bitcoin reserve business led by former Conservative MP Kwasi Kwarteng. The London-based venture focuses on building a Bitcoin treasury by investing surplus cash into the cryptocurrency. Farage reiterated his long-standing support for Bitcoin and digital currencies, emphasizing his goal to make the UK a global crypto hub. Kwarteng welcomed the investment, which was part of a £260,000 equity fundraising. The Reform UK party has previously advocated for crypto tax reductions and a Bitcoin reserve for tax payments.

The Crypto Industry Waited Five and a Half Years, and Got Half a Ticket

After a five-and-a-half-year wait, Kraken has become the first cryptocurrency exchange to receive a master account from the Federal Reserve, specifically a "skinny account" that grants limited access to the Fedwire payment system. This allows Kraken to settle U.S. dollar transactions directly for institutional clients, reducing reliance on intermediary banks and lowering friction for large-scale transactions. However, the account does not include key banking privileges such as access to the discount window or interest on reserves. The approval, granted by the Kansas City Fed in March, marks a significant shift in the U.S. regulatory approach to crypto, occurring under a new political administration. It follows the collapse of key crypto-friendly banks like Silvergate and Signature in 2023, which exposed the industry's vulnerability to traditional banking partners. The move has faced criticism from banking groups, who argue the approval bypassed established rulemaking procedures. The broader implications are substantial: Kraken can now offer near-instant settlement to institutional clients, enhancing its competitive position as it prepares for an IPO. This decision, seen as politically driven rather than rules-based, may pave the way for other crypto firms like Anchorage Digital to gain similar access, though its longevity remains tied to the current political climate.

UK Reform Party Races Ahead Through Crypto Donations

The UK Reform Party, led by Nigel Farage, has become the first British political party to accept cryptocurrency donations, receiving a significant £3 million in crypto from British-Thai businessman Christopher Harborne in Q4 2025. This brought the party's total donations to £5.5 million, surpassing both the Conservative and Labour parties. While Farage promotes this move to position the UK as a global crypto hub, parliament members have raised concerns about potential foreign interference and the volatility of digital assets, citing past bribery convictions linked to the party. Some are calling for a ban on such donations. Chancellor Rachel Reeves has committed to regulating crypto like traditional finance. Harborne, a repeat donor, had previously given £9 million in August 2025. The Reform Party remains the only UK party accepting crypto, and Farage has pledged to pass pro-crypto legislation if elected.

WLFI's Insider Deal Again? The $5 Billion Investment Bank License Controversy

The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) faced scrutiny during a Senate hearing over World Liberty Financial (WLF), a crypto firm linked to the Trump family, which is seeking a national bank charter. WLF received a $500 million investment from Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a UAE national security advisor and royal family member, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest, foreign influence, and national security risks. Democratic senators, including Elizabeth Warren, questioned whether WLF disclosed the foreign investment and its implications, including possible AI chip exports to China. OCC officials declined to comment on specific applications but emphasized adherence to standard procedures. If approved, WLF could self-custody and issue its USD1 stablecoin. The firm denies any wrongdoing and claims the scrutiny is politically motivated.

What Brought GPT and Claude Together? Opposing the Pentagon?

The article discusses the unexpected alignment between rival AI companies OpenAI and Anthropic, driven by their shared ethical stance against the U.S. Department of Defense's demands. Anthropic, the maker of Claude, had signed a $200 million contract with the Pentagon but insisted on two red lines: no mass surveillance of U.S. citizens and no autonomous weapons without human oversight. When the Pentagon demanded unrestricted use, Anthropic refused, citing ethical concerns. In a show of solidarity, over 400 employees from OpenAI and Google signed an open letter supporting Anthropic’s position. OpenAI’s CEO also internally affirmed similar principles. However, this unity was short-lived. After Anthropic held its ground and rejected the Pentagon’s ultimatum, it was labeled a "supply chain security risk," effectively barring it from all federal contracts. Meanwhile, OpenAI secured the Pentagon contract by accepting less stringent terms, agreeing not to engage in mass surveillance or autonomous weapons but without pushing for additional legal safeguards. The piece highlights the political and ideological dimensions of the conflict, noting that Anthropic’s stance was perceived as "woke" and ideologically driven, while OpenAI’s more pragmatic approach was rewarded. The outcome signals the high cost of resisting government pressure in the AI industry and raises questions about the real-world value of ethical principles when faced with political and economic consequences.

Is Crypto Funding A Risk To UK Politics? Lawmaker Seeks Temporary Ban

A senior UK security official, Matt Western, is calling for a temporary ban on cryptocurrency donations to political parties, warning that foreign governments could exploit the anonymity of digital assets to interfere in British politics. Western, who chairs the Joint Committee on National Security Strategy, highlighted that oversight of political funding is fragmented across six agencies, leaving the UK vulnerable. He proposed creating a dedicated police unit to address this structural weakness. The temporary freeze would remain until official guidance is issued. If allowed in the future, crypto donations would face strict rules, including using only FCA-registered platforms, banning mixed funds, and converting crypto to fiat within 48 hours. He also advocated for stronger donor checks and harsher penalties for breaking finance laws.

Will Trump’s ‘Bitcoin is a Ponzi’ remark crash BTC? Peter Schiff wonders

Bitcoin recovered to around $68,197 after a recent dip toward $62,000, rising nearly 4.75% in 24 hours. Peter Schiff criticized Bitcoin again, suggesting its strength relies on political support from figures like Donald Trump and warning a shift could cause a collapse. He speculated that a negative Trump post could severely impact BTC. However, the market reacted with a price increase, likely due to a short squeeze rather than political sentiment. The crypto community pushed back, arguing Bitcoin's value isn't governed by social media posts. While some supporters echoed Schiff’s long-standing skepticism, the market appears to be on a technical rebound, ignoring political narratives for now.

Trump’s State of the Union Address Triggers a Controlled Surge for Cryptocurrencies

President Trump's State of the Union Address, which focused heavily on economic achievements, triggered a controlled surge in the cryptocurrency market. Following the speech, the overall market cap increased by 2.58% to over $2.25 trillion, with Bitcoin rising 3.44% to $65,436. However, the gains were tempered as cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH remained below key resistance levels. The market reaction was also influenced by contradictory economic reports that resurfaced after the address, including data showing only 1.4% economic growth in Q4 and concerns about financial strain on low-income households. Analysts advise thorough research and risk assessment for crypto investors.

Prediction Market ETFs: A Foray into the Mainstream or Playing with Fire?

Several major ETF issuers, including Bitwise Asset Management, GraniteShares, and Roundhill Investments, have recently filed applications with the U.S. SEC to launch prediction market ETFs. These ETFs are designed to track the outcomes of U.S. political events, such as the 2028 presidential election and the 2026 midterms, allowing investors to trade election probabilities through traditional brokerage accounts like Robinhood or Fidelity. Prediction markets aggregate crowd-sourced forecasts using real-money contracts, where prices reflect the market’s consensus probability of an event occurring. Platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi have demonstrated strong predictive accuracy in events like the 2024 U.S. election, often outperforming traditional polls due to their incentive-based structure. The proposed ETFs would track the price movements of these prediction market contracts, with share values fluctuating between $0 and $1. If the predicted event occurs, the corresponding “Yes” ETF would settle near $1; otherwise, it would approach $0. Unlike Bitcoin ETFs, which track asset prices, these are binary outcome products, more akin to options or insurance. If approved, these ETFs could bring prediction markets into mainstream finance, offering new tools for hedging and macro risk management. However, concerns remain about potential market manipulation, public perception influence, and regulatory approval, as the SEC may view them as gambling-like instruments. The move represents a significant test of how “probability as an asset” is accepted in traditional markets.
