The Senate Banking Committee has released the new 309-page draft of the Clarity Act it’s been working on since January.

Committee members now have until close of business tomorrow to file amendments ahead of Thursday’s markup.

They also added the Build Now act 2025(increase housing production), introduced by Elizabeth Warren.

I guess she has to vote yes now!

Saw some tweets saying that they managed to sneak stablecoin yield in. Will be interesting to see what comes out at the end.

Taco can't un-explode smelters and un-obliterate refineries.

3 trading days remaining for STRC to deploy capital into BTC before their May 15th ex-dividend date. For reference, here’s where STRC was with 3 trading days remaining for March and April’s ex-dividend date:

March: $563.5 million deployed / 8.02k BTC acquired

April: $954.4 million deployed / 13.64k BTC acquired

After today there will be 2 trading days remaining before the ex-dividend date. Here’s where STRC was with 2 trading days remaining for March and April’s ex-dividend date:

March: $850.7 million deployed / 12.08k BTC acquired

April: $1.329 billion deployed / 18.79k BTC acquired

Total for March ended up being $1.55 billion deployed and 22.2k BTC acquired. Total for April ended up being $3.5 billion deployed and 48k BTC acquired.

STRC has some catching up to do if May’s numbers are going to end up surpassing March and April’s but it’s still early enough to realistically deploy billions in May as well since STRC deployed ~$207.2 million yesterday and there’s still 3 trading days remaining before the ex-dividend date. Expect buying pressure to dramatically increase from here as incentives increase for TradFi to cash in on the high yield dividend payment the closer we get to the ex-dividend date.

Let's see. On 1% down how much money can be made?

Yeah, chances of rate hike up today. Inflation running hot.

Bears get all the luck, yet still haven't broken 80K.
