About this episode

The episode discusses the potential impact of the CLARITY Act on the crypto market and various factors influencing Bitcoin's price.

The White House says crypto will "take off like a rocket ship" once the CLARITY Act passes — but will it actually happen? Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott says they're "in the red zone" with a May markup locked in, while Polymarket odds have slipped to 46% and one Republican senator is threatening to kill the bill over Trump's crypto ties. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley just outlined five reasons they're bullish on crypto and launched their own Bitcoin ETF, stablecoin card spending has surged 500% to $600 million a month with Visa capturing 90% of transactions, and Meta is now paying creators in USDC. But oil is the wildcard — Brent spiked to $126 a barrel this week as Trump faces a War Powers deadline on Iran, and rising energy costs are keeping inflation hot and the Fed locked in place.
