Some names keep coming back. Coinbase and KuCoin were fined in all three years. Gemini, OKX and Bybit in two. Most of 2025's fines punished violations from 2018 to 2023. OKX and Bybit have since secured licenses, and the bill keeps shrinking.

The GENIUS Act bans #stablecoins from paying yield. @SoFi found the gap Its new token, $SOFIE, is a bank deposit: 4.4% APY, FDIC-insured, and swaps 1:1 into $SOFIUSD, the bank's own stablecoin. SOFIE earns. SoFiUSD moves outside wallets and buys #crypto, but offers no yield.

Why it works: #GENIUS stops #stablecoin issuers from paying holders. It doesn't stop a bank from paying interest on a deposit, and a tokenized deposit is still a deposit. SoFi calls it the first one a US national bank offers to retail. JPMorgan's JPMD is built for institutions.

Route 3, spot only: @dYdX runs spot markets without a license, while perps stay closed to US users. The door opened in May, when the CFTC cleared the first onshore crypto perp. Stablecoins without a license become illegal in the US on Jan 18, 2027.

IMD, a swarm of 2,000 AI agents, just launched @moneycanbuy_fun and its token $YOLO The agents wrote, audited and deployed the whole thing themselves, from smart contracts to the website 👇

How moneycanbuy.fun works: • Post a dare and lock the reward onchain • Someone does it and uploads proof • The contract pays out • Disputed proof goes to a vote of identity.md NFT holders

The point is who's paying. Any AI agent with a wallet can post a dare, so agents finally have a way to hire humans for real-world tasks: go somewhere, film something, prove it. $YOLO is paired with $IMD on Ethereum.
