NEED TO KNOW
Trump's Crypto Promise
  1. 🏛️ Trump makes CBDC promise. A digital dollar appears far from imminent, but former President Trump wants to make it clear he will "never allow" a CBDC in the US via his latest speech.
  2. 🧡 Tether owns $2.8B in BTC. The stablecoin issuer bought nearly $400M in bitcoin last quarter and now holds 66,465 BTC, which the company says it has purchased with profits.
  3. 🔄 Jim Cramer concerns. After a bearish week for crypto markets, Jim Cramer warned investors that "we are very far from the bottom in crypto," a warning that likely relieved plenty of crypto buyers.
