Eric Trump Goes to War With Big Banks Over ‘Anti‑American’ Crypto Lobbying

Eric Trump has publicly criticized major U.S. banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America, accusing them of pursuing an "anti-American" agenda by lobbying against crypto and stablecoins. He claims these institutions are trying to block Americans from earning higher yields on savings—often 4–5% in crypto platforms—to protect their low-interest monopoly and prevent deposit flight. According to Trump, banks are supporting bills like the Clarity Act to restrict yields and rewards on stablecoins, undermining competition and consumer freedom. He argues this contradicts American ideals and reflects the banking industry's panic over losing dominance in digital finance. The conflict centers on the GENIUS Act, which allowed stablecoins but banned interest payments, and the proposed Clarity Act, which aims to further limit yields.

Cardano Founder Shares What To Expect For XRP If The Clarity ACT Is Passed

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson states that the proposed Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act could provide established tokens like XRP with clearer regulatory treatment, effectively granting them a "grandfathered" status that spares them from being classified as securities. However, he strongly criticizes the bill for its default treatment of all new tokens as securities, which he argues gives the SEC too much power and creates significant obstacles for future crypto innovation. He also highlights that the bill offers no protections or pathways for decentralized finance (DeFi) projects and stablecoin yields. In contrast, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse supports the bill as a workable starting point, creating a notable divide within the industry.

Trump Moves To Install Pro-Bitcoin Leader At The Federal Reserve

President Trump has nominated pro-Bitcoin Kevin Warsh to lead the Federal Reserve, replacing Jerome Powell. The nomination has been sent to the Senate Banking Committee for review, though political opposition may slow the process. Warsh, a former Fed governor, has referred to Bitcoin as "new gold" and expressed openness toward it. Markets reacted positively, with Bitcoin surpassing $70,000. Warsh's background in both public service and private finance makes him appealing to some senators but raises concerns about the Fed's independence for others. His potential appointment is viewed as favorable for risk assets like Bitcoin, though confirmation faces hurdles from lawmakers seeking delays due to ongoing investigations.

FBI arrests suspect in $46M U.S. Marshals crypto theft case

FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrest of John Daghita, a U.S. government contractor, in Saint Martin by French authorities. Daghita is accused of stealing over $46 million in cryptocurrency from wallets managed by the U.S. Marshals Service, which handles seized digital assets in criminal cases. The theft was initially flagged by blockchain investigator ZachXBT in January, who identified suspicious transactions linked to an individual named "John." Following the allegations, U.S. agencies began reviewing the incident. The case highlights ongoing concerns about crypto custody risks as government-held digital assets grow. Authorities have not confirmed if any stolen funds were recovered.

How OTC Merchants Step into the Trap of 'Illegal Business Operation Crime' Step by Step

OTC商家 selling virtual currencies like USDT for profit can inadvertently receive funds linked to illegal foreign exchange activities, leading to potential criminal charges such as Illegal Business Operations or Concealment of Crime Proceeds. This article, based on a real case handled by lawyer Shao Shiwei, discusses how such traders may face legal risks when funds from underground banks involved in unauthorized forex trading enter their accounts during routine transactions. The key issue is whether OTC traders should bear criminal responsibility solely for receiving such funds. Authorities may treat them as accomplices in illegal forex operations, but the traders’ actual role, intent, and awareness must be carefully evaluated. A referenced case illustrates differentiated handling: individuals directly involved in illegal forex were convicted, while those merely providing accounts without clear profit motives or direct participation were not prosecuted. The profit from virtual currency trading differs fundamentally from illegal forex gains; the former stems from market fluctuations, while the latter involves facilitating cross-border transfers. If no intent to assist illegal activities is proven, charges may not apply. Alternatively, Concealment of Crime Proceeds charges require proof that the funds were criminal proceeds and that the trader knowingly handled them. Factors like transaction frequency, anomalies, and prior knowledge are considered, but hindsight alone isn’t sufficient for conviction. In summary, while trading virtual currencies isn’t illegal, involvement with illicit fund sources creates significant risks. Case outcomes depend on evidence regarding the trader’s awareness and role, emphasizing the need for individualized legal assessment.

Banks Seek To Block Kraken’s Fed Approval, Label Crypto A ‘Potential Risk’

Major US banking groups are opposing the Federal Reserve's decision to grant Kraken Financial, the crypto exchange's banking arm, a master account—the first ever given to a digital asset institution. While this "skinny" account allows Kraken to hold reserves and settle transactions in central bank money, it does not grant full banking powers like lending. Banking associations, including the ICBA, argue the approval was granted without proper public comment and that crypto poses a risk to financial stability. The move intensifies the existing legislative battle between banks and the crypto industry over stablecoin regulations and market structure bills, despite former President Trump's public support for crypto.

TRM Labs Reports $35B Lost to Crypto Scams Worldwide in 2025

TRM Labs reports that crypto-enabled fraud resulted in an estimated $35 billion in global losses in 2025, with over $100 million affecting New Yorkers. The actual figure may exceed $200 billion due to underreporting. Criminals use advanced tactics like social engineering and AI, moving funds rapidly across wallets and chains, making recovery difficult. The report emphasizes the need for better law enforcement training, advanced blockchain and AI tools, and modernized regulations like the RIP OFF Act to combat increasingly sophisticated crypto crime networks.

After the Secret Meeting, Why Did Trump Aim His Fire at Banks?

President Trump met privately with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, after which he publicly criticized major banks on Truth Social. Trump accused the banks of trying to undermine the pro-crypto GENIUS Act and called for the advancement of the CLARITY Act, arguing that Americans should earn more from their money and that the crypto agenda should not be blocked. The meeting, first reported by Politico, occurred shortly before Trump's social media post, revealing a direct link between the private discussion and his public stance. The key legislative conflict involves a stalled crypto market structure bill. Banks warn that interest-bearing stablecoins could erode deposits and lending capacity, while crypto firms, including Coinbase, argue that the GENIUS Act rightly allows consumers to earn rewards from stablecoin holdings. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon stated that stablecoin issuers paying interest should be regulated like banks, a claim countered by crypto advocates who emphasize that the GENIUS Act prohibits such issuers from lending or rehypothecating underlying funds. Following these developments, crypto-related stocks, including Coinbase (COIN), saw significant gains amid a broader market rally.

Crypto President, or the Yuan Shikai of the Industry?

An article titled "Encryption President or Industry's Yuan Shikai?" draws a historical parallel between former U.S. President Donald Trump and Yuan Shikai, a Chinese general who briefly restored imperial rule in 1915, suggesting that both were initially seen as saviors but ultimately betrayed their supporters' trust. The piece argues that Trump was embraced by the crypto industry during the 2024 election as a pro-crypto leader who would ease regulatory pressures. His administration did take initial friendly steps, such as replacing SEC Chair Gary Gensler and pausing lawsuits against major exchanges, which helped drive Bitcoin to new all-time highs. However, the article claims this support was superficial and self-serving. It highlights that Trump and his family allegedly engaged in lucrative meme coin schemes, with tokens like TRUMP and MELANIA, which reportedly earned the family over $1 billion before crashing and harming retail investors. This behavior is compared to the corruption of President Ulysses S. Grant's administration. Furthermore, the author contends that Trump’s trade war and tariff policies, particularly the escalation against China in October 2025, triggered a massive market crash. On October 11, 2025, Bitcoin plummeted from $126,000 to around $102,000, leading to over $19 billion in liquidations and marking the start of a crypto winter. The article concludes that Trump used crypto for political gain and personal enrichment rather than genuinely supporting technological innovation, ultimately damaging the industry and betraying the trust placed in him. It warns that real progress must come from technological advancement, not political figures.

ECB Supervisor Flags Possible Risks from Middle East Conflict, Likely to Extend to the Crypto Market

ECB supervisor Pedro Machado warns that the Middle East conflict poses potential risks, particularly through rising energy prices, which could trigger higher inflation. Although direct exposure for Eurozone banks remains limited, prolonged energy price increases may impact the global economy. This situation could also affect the crypto market, potentially reversing its recent gains—such as Bitcoin surpassing $72k and Ethereum exceeding $2k—as investors might seek safer assets amid inflationary pressures. Meanwhile, the ECB is increasing its focus on synthetic securitization to transfer portfolio risks away from the banking system.
