🚨THE CRYPTO MARKET STRUCTURE BILL WAS DELAYED BECAUSE OF BIG BANKS.
Let us explain this in simple words.
Banks do not want real competition. DeFi and stablecoins threaten their core business. This bill, in its current form, limits that competition instead of encouraging fair innovation.
Even JPMorgan’s CFO said it clearly: If stablecoins are allowed to offer yield, banks will see large money outflows.
That one statement explains a lot.
Brian Armstrong said this bill would make crypto worse than it is today.
He said directly: no bill is better than a bad bill.
Not because regulation is bad, but because this version protects banks more than it protects innovation.
Now look at what the bill actually does:
1. TOKENIZED STOCKS WOULD BE ALMOST BANNED
Crypto versions of equities would become nearly impossible in the US. This kills one of the biggest real world use cases of blockchain.
2. DEFI WOULD BE TREATED LIKE BANKS
The government would get broad access to user data. Every transaction would need reporting. This destroys privacy and kills the whole idea of decentralization. DeFi stops being DeFi and becomes another bank system.
3. CFTC GETS WEAKER, SEC GETS MORE POWER
Power gets centralized under one regulator. Innovation slows down. Crypto native projects face higher compliance and more uncertainty.
4. STABLECOIN REWARDS COULD BE BANNED
Stablecoins would not be allowed to pay yield.
Why? Because yield attracts deposits away from banks. This directly protects the banking system from competition.
So when you connect everything:
• DeFi becomes controlled • Stablecoins lose yield • Tokenization gets blocked • Banks face less competition
This bill does not help crypto much but It protects banks.
Diverging Trends: The 52-week correlation between Bitcoin and gold has dropped to zero for the first time since mid-2022, suggesting the two assets are no longer moving in tandem and a strong bullish trend for Bitcoin might be ahead.
Bitcoin's Momentum: Bitcoin briefly crossed the $97,000 mark today, driven by positive U.S. inflation data, regulatory optimism, and continued ETF inflows. It has shown a 1.8% increase since yesterday.
Gold's Resilience: Gold prices edged lower slightly from their record highs but are broadly viewed as a "strong buy" based on technical indicators and remain an attractive safe-haven asset amid global political and economic uncertainty.
Analyst Outlook: Some analysts anticipate a capital rotation from precious metals to digital assets due to Bitcoin's relative "cheapness". Bitcoin is predicted to potentially target a price range of $144,000 to $150,000 if historical patterns persist.
