Bitcoin Made It to the Big Leagues—Can It Stay There?

I've watched Bitcoin get tossed around like a frat bro at a poker table—now it's shaking hands with Wall Street. The ETF approvals in early 2024? That was the tell. What used to be a renegade asset stuffed in cold wallets is now cozying up in pension funds and brokerages.

But with stability comes surveillance.

OKX Just Backed the Underdog Stablecoin—Here's Why That Matters

OKX has 60 million users and a roster of major stablecoins—but now it's backing Paxos' USDG, a lesser-known, tightly regulated digital dollar. This isn't just a tech move—it's a signal. As regulators circle and stablecoin wars heat up, the exchanges are making their alliances clear. USDG isn't flashy, but it's compliant, predictable, and built for global scaling.

Something's shifting, and OKX is betting early.

Capitol Hill's Crypto Crackdown Is Heating Up

Washington's gearing up for a full-on policy brawl—and crypto's right in the crosshairs. This week, three bills are hitting the floor, all targeting digital assets, CBDCs, and stablecoin structure.

Sounds dry? It's not.

Behind the scenes, Democrats are lobbing accusations of crypto "corruption" while Republicans rally behind the Anti-CBDC Surveillance Act. I'm keeping tabs on what gets passed, buried, or twisted into political theater.

Either way, this one's messy—and it's just getting started.
