Joe Biden is suddenly pro-crypto after Trump embraces it

Politicians will promise a lot to get votes. Despite candidates for the US presidency spending most of their time talking about broad public interests like healthcare, employment, inflation, and national security, they’ll occasionally make a narrow pledge about a specific sector. Earlier this month, Trump appeared to completely change his mind about bitcoin. Despite branding it a scam five years ago, Trump now realizes that there might be, in his own estimation, “50 million crypto holders” who could cast a vote for him. Whether or not that number is true, he needs more votes on November 5. So Trump made crypto a priority this month.

Behind Fox News republican Caitlyn Jenner’s crypto cash grab

Caitlyn Jenner launched a crypto meme coin on Memorial Day, but it was hard to tell if it was legitimate or a hack. The Fox News contributor, ex-reality TV star, and former Olympian posted multiple endorsements to two social media accounts, Instagram and X, but her fan base quickly flagged the videos as possibly fake. First, fans questioned the irregular quality of her video endorsement, which she soon remedied with a more authentic-looking video. Second, they questioned the website linked in her endorsement, Pump.fun. The website is a gambling-oriented kickstarter for meme coins. It gamifies the initial coin offering (ICO) of a token on Solana using a bonding curve for initial distribution.  Up-only bonding curves ( and they are always up-only in crypto ) force buyers, in the absence of a real bid/ask market, to pay ever-higher prices for each subsequent purchase. BitClout was the first mainstream crypto project to popularize bonding curves, forcing fans to pay ever-higher prices ...
