Federal Reserve (the Fed), under Jerome Powell, has recently signaled that U.S. banks can provide crypto-related services, as long as they manage risks properly.
Regulators including Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) have rescinded some of their earlier tough guidance on banks and crypto — meaning banks no longer have to get prior permission to do crypto-asset activities under certain conditions.
The Fed has ended its special “crypto-oversight” program for banks (launched in 2023), moving to treat crypto- and fintech-related banking business under standard supervision.
So it’s correct to say that — as of 2025 — the regulatory environment in the U.S. is loosening, and banks have greater leeway to engage with crypto than in recent years. $BTC $ #Fed
🚨 Myth Busted: Ripple Is Not Selling XRP to ETFs at $2 🚨
There’s a rumor floating around that Ripple will feed its monthly 1B escrow releases (or more) to ETF issuers at some cheap fixed price — so Wall Street can load up and pump later.
But that’s not how ETFs work. And it’s not how Ripple operates.
According to @ChadSteingraber and basic ETF mechanics:
✅ ETFs must purchase XRP at real market prices.
Creation units are filled after inflows hit — usually 1–2 days later — and always at actual market value.
❌ No discounted Ripple deals.
❌ No “secret OTC hookups.” ❌ No “waiting for a dip.” ❌ No scenario where Ripple sells billions at $2 while ETFs buy spot.
Why?
Ripple holds a massive portion of total XRP supply. Their incentive is higher prices, not discounting their own asset. ETF demand flowing into open markets only strengthens Ripple’s treasury value.
💥 ETFs will chase XRP upward. 💥 Ripple won’t sabotage its own upside.
So… is this the true beginning of the XRP ETF era? 🚀💎$BTC
Everyone keeps talking about corruption in Ukraine - but nobody asks the real question: If billions were stolen, then which Western politicians, lobbyists, NGOs and media outlets were getting their cut to keep the money flowing? Because schemes of this size don’t work without people outside Ukraine who benefit even more. There are too many “coincidences”: — lobbyists aggressively pushing for unlimited funding, — politicians becoming overnight “defenders” of massive unchecked spending, — media and NGOs instantly shutting down any investigations, — private companies winning billion-dollar contracts out of nowhere. The issue isn’t Ukraine. The issue is: who in the US and EU was quietly feeding off this pipeline for years - and why are those names still untouchable? What do you think - is the truth being hidden, or is everyone pretending not to notice?$BTC $ETH #Politics
Powell just pulled off a double game last night and the crypto markets felt it instantly. The man is stubborn on the surface but sneaky underneath. He’s refusing to rush into rate cuts, keeping his “wait until employment cracks” stance. Classic Powell — slow, steady, annoyingly patient. But here’s the twist: tapering is slowing down. That’s basically opening a small liquidity faucet without touching rates. Quiet, subtle… and crypto is already smirking. Inflation? Better, but still sticky. Tariffs could push prices up again, though Powell says if it’s a one-off shock, he’ll ignore it. That’s code for: “Don’t panic… yet.” The economy’s jittery. Businesses are cautious, consumers confused, markets acting like they’re on their third espresso shot. Volatility isn’t going anywhere. Meanwhile, Trump is going nuclear. Calling Powell “Mr. Too Late,” demanding his resignation, threatening investigations. Rumor has it Powell could actually step down before May 2026. Every hit rattles stocks, bonds, the dollar. If you think crypto stays untouched… good luck. Here’s the real play: Powell’s not cutting rates, but the slowdown in QT is adding liquidity back into the system. Traders complain, but smart money loves it. Tight liquidity might be dying. And that slowdown? It’s a signal. Big players are already positioning. If Powell leaves and a rate-cut-friendly chair steps in, the next crypto bull run could be violent. So what do you think — will Powell resign? And if a new Fed chair steps in, is crypto blasting off or what?

EUROPE JUST GOT ROCKED BY A MASSIVE POLITICAL SHOCKWAVE ⚡🌍 Whispers flying through Brussels tonight are on another level… Word is that Italy may have just flipped the entire European hierarchy upside down. 🇮🇹🔥 Insiders claim Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stormed into the meeting, looked everyone dead in the eye and declared: “Italy wants its €300 BILLION in gold returned — every last euro.” The reaction? Total silence. EU officials stunned. Berlin caught off guard. Paris trying to keep cool while panic brews underneath. And the ECB? Rumored to be scrambling behind closed doors. Meanwhile, across the ocean… Trump reportedly loving the chaos, calling it “peak sovereign power play.” If this story holds, Europe’s financial landscape could shift dramatically — and fast. This isn’t just news… It’s the rumble before the quake. 💥🌐 #BinanceHODLerAT #IPOWave #TrumpTariffs #CPIWatch #BinanceAlphaAlert $ETH
