π€ Arthur Hayes: Trump Family Turned to Crypto After Being Debanked
BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes explains that Donald Trump and his campaign shifted to pro-crypto rhetoric in 2024 because his family was antagonized and debanked by the traditional banking system.
Facing lawsuits and frozen assets, they realized the true value of assets existing outside state control.
Hayes believes that without being outside the regulatory apparatus, Bitcoin is just another regular asset. He also noted that Bitcoin's price doesn't care about regulations, only about money printing. #regulation

π $2B in Protocol TVL Moves From LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP
Analyst Tom Wan notes that protocols with approximately $2 billion in combined TVLβincluding KelpDAO ($1.5B), SolvProtocol ($600M), and re ($200M)βare migrating to Chainlink CCIP despite LayerZero's recent apology. Major assets like Ethena's USDe, Etherfi's weETH, and Bitgo's WBTC still utilize LayerZero's OFT standard.
This exodus follows LayerZero's admission of poor communication during a recent exploit, where they revealed that their internal RPC was attacked by the Lazarus Group and acknowledged a 1/1 DVN misconfiguration that created a critical single point of failure. #hack

π° Strategy CEO Says BTC Sales Would Only Happen Under Specific Conditions
Strategy CEO Phong Le told CNBC that the firm will only sell Bitcoin under specific conditions, such as funding the 11.5% dividend on its STRC preferred stock or for tax optimization.
Le emphasized that the company evaluates selling BTC against issuing stock to prioritize its "Bitcoin per Share" metric, ensuring any sale benefits common shareholders. This clarifies Executive Chairman Michael Saylor's recent comments about potentially selling Bitcoin to pay dividends, which had caused market speculation.
Forbes contributor and Two Prime CEO Alexander S. Blume noted that Saylor's recent willingness to sell Bitcoin under certain conditions contradicts his core "never sell" promise. Blume pointed out that Strategy's investment products lack direct BTC claims, compelling the firm to balance USD debt servicing with its BTC accumulation narrative. He warned that frequent narrative changes could undermine investor trust, potentially leading to a cascading sell-off across MSTR, STRC, and BTC itself.
