Trump’s Cabinet Is Cashing in on Crypto

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-07-19 06:00:21

Congress’s big “Crypto Week” might have faded into the background a bit due to cryptic messages Donald Trump left in a birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein, but Republicans in the House and Senate did, in fact, manage to pass a couple of laws that will establish loose, industry-friendly regulations for cryptocurrency. Which means it is a perfect time to be reminded that the Trump administration is packed with people who stand to benefit from cryptocurrency being mainstreamed. Trump himself, of cour

A Batman movie is being written (in addition to Matt Reeves’ new Batman movie), and, of late, there’s been lots of talk about Wonder Woman too. As co-president of DC Studios, Gunn recently confirmed a Wonder Woman script is being written, and subsequent rumors suggested the film was being fast-tracked. Well, that’s partially true, Gunn said. “It’s a priority, but I

No More Waiting: New Crypto Law Unlocks Cheaper, Faster Money for Everyone

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-07-20 23:52:16

For more than a decade, cryptocurrency lived in legal limbo. It was too weird to regulate, too volatile to trust, and too new for Washington to take seriously. That just changed. The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the GENIUS Act, the first major federal law regulating stablecoins, digital currencies backed by the U.S. dollar. The bill now heads to President Trump’s desk, where it’s expected to become law. Here’s what it means for you, your money, and the financial system around you.

The Pigeon River Is Perched, Which Is Geologically Bad News (2020)

A reader of the Nantahala Gorge post asked a very relevant question: Is there a stream capture in the Appalachians that is going to happen soon? While “soon” can be a very relative term in geology, there is most definitely a good answer to the question. At Canton, North Carolina, the headwaters of Hominy Creek, a French Broad River tributary, are VERY close to capturing the Pigeon River. In human terms, this is still probably a long way off, but it is most certainly geologically “imminent.” The

But here’s the real issue: Nobody knows for sure what happens next. Carmakers, consumers, and even some dealerships have been operating under the belief that a signed contract before September 30 locks in the credit. But now, some automakers are quietly admitting that the IRS has not finalized that rule.
