BIG PRINT AND YIELD CURVE CONTROL INCOMING?

NEW: Bitcoin network difficulty just dropped 11.16% 😮
That marks the 10th largest negative difficulty adjustment in history.

Sovcombank’s BTC-backed loans offer up to 50% LTV at 23% interest, letting Russian firms raise cash without selling bitcoin if strict conditions are met.
BESSENT ADMITS U.S. USED THE DOLLAR AS A WEAPON AGAINST IRAN, CAUSING HYPERINFLATION
“We created a dollar shortage in the country. It came to a swift conclusion.”
Scott Bessent says the pressure peaked after a major Iranian bank collapsed following a bank run, forcing the central bank to print money.
Result: the Iranian rial plunged to ~1.5M per dollar, inflation surged, protests spread nationwide, and Bitcoin prices in Iran spiked to ~100B IRR in recent weeks.

ODDS OF CLARITY ACT PASSING JUMP TO 69% AS SCHUMER IS “VERY DESPERATE” TO CUT A DEAL
Sander Lutz reports Senate Democrats wrapped a closed door meeting today on the crypto market structure bill.
Chuck Schumer is said to be pushing hard after Fairshake unveiled a $193M midterms war chest, per a Senate source.
But pro crypto Dems still draw a red line on outlawing Trump’s crypto ventures, and the White House is unlikely to budge.
That’s assuming banks and Coinbase even reach a deal on stablecoin yield this month.
Still, betting markets continue to price in higher odds that the bill gets over the line.
ESPTEIN EMAIL CLAIMS THE GOLD IN FT. KNOX IS COMPLETELY MISSING
An email from the Epstein files cites a report allegedly prepared for Vladimir Putin by Russia’s Federal Security Service claims former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn uncovered evidence that U.S. gold reserves at Fort Knox were “missing or unaccounted for.”
According to the report, Strauss-Kahn grew concerned after the U.S. allegedly stalled delivery of 191.3 tons of gold owed to the IMF under a 1978 agreement to fund SDRs.
It further alleges that after raising concerns with officials tied to Barack Obama, Strauss-Kahn was shown evidence by “rogue elements” within the Central Intelligence Agency that the gold was gone.
Strauss-Kahn was later charged and jailed in the US for sex crimes on May 14th after his discovery about Ft. Knox.
