A group of nine Senate Democrats who previously backed crypto-friendly legislation are now threatening to derail a landmark stablecoin bill, signaling deepening divisions over how the fast-growing digital asset sector should be regulated. In a surprise Saturday statement first reported by Politico, the senators declared they would not support the GOP-led bill “in its current form” if it reaches the Senate floor, citing a range of unresolved concerns. Their demands for changes focus on several key areas: safeguards to prevent illicit financial flows, stricter rules on overseas stablecoin providers, national security, stronger guarantees that stablecoins won’t undermine the safety and soundness of the existing financial infrastructure, and tougher penalties on noncompliant actors. The move comes just days before the chamber is expected to hold a procedural vote on the legislation, which aims to create the first federal framework for stablecoin issuers — digital tokens typically pegged to the U.S. dollar or other assets. The Democratic bloc, which includes Sens. Ruben Gallego (Ariz.), Mark Warner (Va.), Lisa Blunt Rochester (Del.), and Andy Kim (N.J.) — all of whom previously voted in favor of the bill when it passed the Senate Banking Committee in March — now say the legislation still “has numerous issues that must be addressed.” The letter, also signed by Sens. Raphael Warnock (Ga.), Catherine Cortez Masto (Nev.), Ben Ray Luján (N.M.), John Hickenlooper (Colo.), and Adam Schiff (Calif.), emphasized a continued willingness to negotiate. “We are eager to continue working with our colleagues to address these issues,” the senators wrote. “As stablecoins continue to grow in popularity, it is critical for Congress to work in a bipartisan fashion to create a regulatory framework that sets forth clear rules of the road.” Notably absent from the statement were the bill’s two Democratic co-sponsors: Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.) and Sen. Angela Alsobrooks (Md.). The bill’s lead sponsor, Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), responded to the pushback with a warning and a challenge. “We have a choice here. Move forward and make any remaining changes needed in a bipartisan way, or show that digital asset and crypto legislation remains a solely Republican issue,” he said, stressing the need to solidify U.S. dominance in the digital asset space. The defection adds a new layer of complexity to an already contentious process, especially as the Trump family’s growing involvement in the digital asset space — including plans for a new stablecoin venture — has injected fresh political sensitivities into the debate. With the bill now hanging in the balance, Democrats may hold the leverage to reshape key provisions — or stall one of the crypto industry’s most significant regulatory breakthroughs to date.

Here’s a draft article about Donald Trump’s crypto journey, designed in a professional news-article style: Donald Trump’s Evolving Crypto Journey: From Skeptic to Strategic Advocate May 3, 2025 — Washington, D.C. In a surprising transformation that has captivated both political and financial circles, former U.S. President Donald J. Trump has shifted from a vocal critic of cryptocurrency to a bold proponent of Bitcoin and blockchain innovation. 2019–2021: A Harsh Critic During his presidency, Trump made headlines by denouncing Bitcoin as a “scam” and criticizing cryptocurrencies for enabling “unlawful behavior.” His administration favored a strong U.S. dollar and imposed a cautious regulatory stance on digital assets, which left crypto enthusiasts wary of government intervention. “I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,” Trump tweeted in July 2019. “Unregulated crypto assets can facilitate unlawful behavior.” 2022–2023: NFTs and First Signs of a Shift The turning point came in late 2022, when Trump launched his own series of NFT trading cards on the Polygon blockchain. The collection, initially mocked, sold out within 24 hours and earned millions. This move marked Trump’s first foray into the crypto space—not as a policymaker, but as a direct market participant. “They’re beautiful cards,” Trump said in a promotional video. “Kind of like baseball cards, but hopefully much more exciting.” 2024: Campaigning with Crypto Rhetoric During the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump began to subtly embrace crypto-friendly rhetoric. As inflation and distrust in centralized banking grew among voters, Trump recognized digital assets as a potent issue among younger and libertarian-leaning Americans. He hinted at potential crypto deregulation and a more open-minded approach to blockchain technology. These statements gained traction, especially as his Democratic opponents pushed for tighter regulations. 2025: Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Policy Push In a landmark move, President Trump (now back in office) signed an executive order in April 2025 establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The U.S. Treasury reportedly holds over 200,000 BTC, acquired via seizures, auctions, and mining partnerships. The policy aims to strengthen America’s financial autonomy, counterbalance inflation, and position the U.S. as a leader in the digital economy. “We will lead the future of finance,” Trump said at a press conference. “America will not fall behind China or anyone else in the blockchain revolution.” Future Plans: Truth Social Token and Beyond Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social, is reportedly planning to launch a native cryptocurrency token. This would allow users to subscribe, tip creators, and participate in platform governance using blockchain rails. While critics view this as another populist move, supporters argue it’s a savvy pivot that aligns with global trends. Conclusion Trump’s crypto journey—from skeptic to strategic adopter—reflects a broader shift in U.S. political attitudes toward digital assets. Whether driven by ideology or opportunity, Trump’s embrace of crypto could redefine both his legacy and America’s financial future.

Ford Motor, Kia and Hyundai have reported solid US performance in April sales year-over-year as customers were panic-buying due to fears of possible tariff-induced price increases. This comes in the wake of the introduction of tariffs by the Trump administration that have unsettled markets and investors, with customers worried that car makers will pass on the cost tariffs to consumers. Therefore, customers rushed to purchase new vehicles ahead of a potential price increase. According to CNBC the tariff fear-buying started in late March and was sustained in April, driven by some automakers who offered special discounts or promised not to hike prices in the near term owing the President Trump’s tariff regime. “April results are dominated by the prospect of future vehicle price increases due to tariffs.” Thomas King, president of the data and analytics division at J.D. Power. However, the booming demand may be short-lived. King and Cox Automotive chief economist Jonathan Smoke revealed that the demand slowed in late April as new vehicle inventories tightened with prices rising following the earlier consumer rush. “The economy and auto market are transitioning to a world with higher tariffs on imports,” said Smoke on Tuesday. “The first phase of frenzy in the retail vehicle market seems to have already passed as April is ending with less momentum than it began.” Smoke. Smoke added that the higher costs and lower vehicle inventories are what are likely “sapping momentum and could lead to lower sales in future weeks.” According to CNBC, automakers cashed in on the consumer rush while it lasted. For instance, Ford recorded a 16% year-over-year jump in April sales, supported by consumer and ongoing “employee pricing” program that the company launched when Trump’s 25% auto tariffs on imported vehicle took effect in early 2000 April. Ford revealed on Wednesday that it was extending that program through the Fourth of July weekend. The company revealed that it sold 208,675 new vehicles in April compared to 179,588 said during the same month last year. Ford’s EV sales, which includes hybrids jumped 8.4% to 28,190. Its total US sales for this year are up 3.2% to 709,966 vehicles sold. Peers, Hyundai, that vowed to maintain the same prices through at least early June, recorded a 19% jump in sales last month of its namesake brand compared to the same period last year. At Kia, which is owned by Hyundai’s parent company although they operate separately in the US, it revealed that its April sales rose by about 14% compared to a year earlier. Largest automaker, General Motors , which reports sales on a quarterly basis confirmed on Thursday that it witnessed a 20% increase in April compared to the same month in 2024. The company has however revealed that the Trump administration’s tariffs on imported cars will this year cost the company between $4 billion and $5 billion. General Motors’ CEO Mary Barra also revealed in interview with CNN that the company has downsized on its earnings guidance as the tariffs will eat into its profitability. Also enjoying the moment, Toyota Motor on Thursday revealed that year-over-year sales jumped 10% in April. The 25% tariff on imported cars into the US took effect on April 3. Although the Trump administration modified some tariffs this week, extra levies of 25% on auto-parts are expected to start by Saturday. Ford CEO Jim Farley said on Wednesday that this week’s changes to the tariffs are helpful, although more actions still need to be taken to assist the sector. The changes include reimbursing automakers for some US parts and reducing the “stacking” of tariffs upon one another for the industry. Cryptopolitan Academy: Want to grow your money in 2025?
