This feels a little too close to Dario/Altman level fear mongering for AI given the stakes. Agents won’t cause the bank run. The banks will. Commercial real estate selling off 20% will. Regionals hold over $2tr of Commercial and MiltiFam real estate loans. Over 1,100 banks are in “stress zone” already bc of CRE. Long duration debt will too. Remember 2022-23? Regional banks are still sitting on hundreds of billions in losses due to buying duration <10yr and rates continue to rise. They need lower rates to climb out of both holes. Last month it was cryptos fault. Now it’s AIs turn. (Here come the bank lobbies)
Fascinating. Chief Economist at Apollo: agents could cause a bank run by sweeping household cash into accounts paying 3-5% instead of the 0.1% national average, causing banks to lose a large share of their cheap deposits.

Daily dividends - first @Strive now @Strategy .. soon all S&P500 Imagine if millions of retirees who depend on dividends to live didn’t have to wait months or quarters to receive them.
Strategy is proposing daily dividends on $STRF, $STRC, $STRK, and $STRD, accruing every calendar day, including weekends and holidays, and paid the next business day, with economics unchanged. The proposed changes aim to support price stability, liquidity, and demand.

Remember. Bitcoin rallied after the SEC called @Grayscale ETF filing “Arbitrary and Capricious” in 2023. A year later BTC was up ~100%. Clarity Act getting blocked was our 2026 “Arbitrary and Capricious” moment … again delivered by the Democratic Party. Regardless the market sees signal and is usually right.
We’re one week out from the Clarity Act failing. - SEC publishes Innovation Exemption - CFTC ships crypto rules to the White House - CFTC updates FAQ on crypto activities Crypto assets and equities tell the story.

Robotics didn’t have internet scalable human data - so @Figure_robot built it Great work
The holy grail for robotics is being able to generalize: doing work in unseen places We rented 30 homes in the Bay Area and are doing tasks without any new training

Clarity Act is ready. Ethics provisions agreed. That was the last hill. Time to pass this and let’s build
After a year of intense daily bipartisan negotiations, this bill is ready. Here is the final text. President Trump voluntarily agreed to new ethics provisions holding every federally elected official, judge, and their spouses to some of the toughest ethics restrictions in U.S. history. This new text includes more than 120 of Democrats' demands. A no vote on Tuesday means opposing real ethics reforms on politicians' personal investments, handing American leadership in digital assets to our foreign competitors, and leaving Americans with zero protections in the digital asset markets. Democrats got what they wanted; now they need to take yes for an answer. Here's the latest: lummis.senate.gov/press-rele…

David Friedberg: Government Spending is Making Everything More Expensive… and Driving America Toward Socialism @friedberg: “California's got tens of billions of dollars it spent on this stupid f**king railway that goes nowhere, where there's no f**king tracks…” @DavidSacks: “And there's no political will to even stop that. It'd be the easiest cut in the world.” Friedberg: “Just think about the idiocy. Like, no one is saying we shouldn't do this. Why is no one saying we shouldn't do this? A quarter trillion dollars for a train from San Francisco to Fresno that costs more than an airline ticket is so idiotic. It's like the movie ‘Don't Look Up’. Like, look up. It tells you everything you need to know. Across the board, these government programs cause more harm than good. When the government intervenes in underwriting student loans, and gives everyone a loan, administrative costs went up by 6x and tuition skyrocketed 8% a year, compounding for 30 years, because the government said, ‘We'll underwrite any student loan.’ The same with housing, and now no young people can afford a house. The same with healthcare, where they said, ‘We'll pay people to stay home and not work to take care of people, and we won't check on whether or not they're actually taking care of people,’ and the cost of healthcare skyrocketed. You go across every one of these government programs, and every one of them has the adverse effect of driving up costs and inflating everything. And the core root of inflation in this country is government spending. And the reason we are going to end up becoming a socialist country is because we aren't reining in government spending and looking it in the mirror and saying, ‘Guys, this is idiotic. What are we doing?’”

🎥WATCH: Ray Dalio on how the imminent U.S. Debt crisis will be tackled- “We’re going to do it the way that we always do it. When countries essentially go broke, what they do is a combination of devaluing the currency and printing of money." "They create an artificially low interest rate so that the person who’s holding the bonds is receiving an artificially low interest rate. That’s the way Japan has done it.. and that’s the way we will do it.”
