Trump token faces calls for investigation from senators, but the SEC chair was appointed by Trump—is he going to investigate his own boss? Warren and Blumenthal, two Democratic senators, formally wrote to the SEC on Monday, calling for an investigation into the Trump token, TRUMP. The wording of the letter was harsh—“could constitute an illegal scam,” “soft rug pull,” and “illegal fraudulent conduct or facilitating improper profit.” Sounds serious, right? 989k accounts suffered losses, with total losses of $3.81 billion. Entities affiliated with Trump earned approximately $636 million from the token. The token’s price fell 98% from its peak, while its market cap plunged from $9 billion to less than $400 million. Nearly 1 million people lost $3.8 billion, while the president made $989k. And then? Warren and Blumenthal went to—the SEC. The question is: Who is the SEC chair? Paul Atkins. Personally appointed by Trump. They want a Trump appointee to investigate a coin issued by Trump himself. That’s like asking the boss’s trusted aide to investigate whether the boss embezzled money. Like asking the referee’s son to call his father for a foul. Like asking a mother-in-law to decide who was right when her daughter and son-in-law argued. This isn’t an investigation. It’s performance art. And Atkins isn’t merely “a Trump appointee.” He is famously pro-crypto. When Trump nominated him, he called Atkins a “proven leader in common-sense regulation.” After taking office, Atkins explicitly said the SEC should “move away from an enforcement-focused regulatory approach,” and even said that “most crypto assets traded today are not securities in themselves.” They want someone who believes that “most crypto assets are not securities” to investigate a coin he most likely believes “is not a security.” What do you think the result will be? What’s even funnier is that after Trump took office, the SEC itself had already issued guidance explicitly stating that meme coins have “limited uses or functionality” and do not meet the definition of securities under securities law. In March 2026, the SEC and CFTC jointly released a crypto asset classification that stated plainly in black and white: “Digital collectibles—including NFTs and meme coins—are not securities.” In other words, the SEC has already paved the way— “Meme coins are not securities. We don’t regulate them.” So after Warren sends this letter, all Atkins has to do is reply: “Under the existing guidance, this token does not fall within the SEC’s jurisdiction.” Case closed. But is Warren stupid? No, she isn’t. This letter was never really written to the SEC. It was written for the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which is currently under negotiation. What is the core disputed provision of this bill? “Prohibiting senior government officials from directly participating in crypto projects.” Put simply—banning the president from issuing tokens. Democrats want to strengthen this provision or they will oppose the bill. Republicans want to weaken it. The two sides are deadlocked. Warren’s letter is adding leverage to the bill negotiations. She is saying: Look, the president’s token harmed 1 million people and made $600 million, and you still won’t make “banning presidential token issuance” explicit? This isn’t regulatory action. It’s a political weapon. So what will the outcome be? Three possibilities: A. The SEC declines to open an investigation → cementing the image of “insiders investigating insiders,” with Atkins saying, “Under the existing guidance, this is outside my jurisdiction.” Warren will then put it in a campaign ad for the midterm elections: “Trump’s SEC chair, appointed by Trump, is shielding Trump.” B. The SEC opens an investigation and goes through the motions → Investigate for a year or 18 months, then let the matter quietly fade away. Drag it past the midterm elections and nothing happens. After all, the SEC is “still investigating,” so no one can accuse it of doing nothing. C. The SEC actually investigates → An unprecedented presidential crypto investigation. But Atkins’s political position would become extremely awkward—investigate the person who appointed him? Refuse to investigate and look like he is providing cover? Either choice is a dead end. Which one do you think it will be? In the face of power, regulation is just a rubber stamp. When the SEC says meme coins are not securities, it is Atkins, appointed by Trump, saying it. When the SEC says “we are moving away from enforcement,” it is also Atkins, appointed by Trump, saying it. He sets the rules, his people enforce them, and you expect him to investigate himself? Don’t be naive. 1 million people lost $3.8 billion, while the president made $600 million. And then? Then nothing happened. That’s reality. #Gate上线宇树科技盘前合约 #美股芯片股全线大涨 #GateCard消费返现最高8% $BTC $TRUMP $WLFI

Arthur Hayes: AI Bubble → $1M $BTC 🧠 Arthur Hayes argues that an AI credit bubble could trigger a U.S. “market bailout” after 2028. His thesis: • Heavy debt-fueled spending on AI data centers and power infrastructure resembles a credit boom more than pure tech innovation • When the bubble bursts, central banks and the Treasury will print money to stabilize the system • That liquidity wave would flow into scarce assets — with Bitcoin as the primary beneficiary Hayes believes this dynamic could drive Bitcoin above $1 million in the following cycle. ‍#ArthurHayes #AI #BTC #Crypto
