In a recent discourse on the Shawn Ryan Show, Mr. Hoskinson recounted a week of most peculiar and chaotic encounters with the administration of President Nayib Bukele. The gentleman alleged that the proposed airdrop of cryptocurrency to the citizens of El Salvador, including members of the notorious MS-13 gang, was a matter of grave concern, risking the ire of the United States and its stringent sanctions.

If these bills pass, it could be a game-changer for the industry. But if they stall, it’s just another case of “crypto, schmypto.” 😴 Either way, the outcome will have a direct impact on stablecoins, exchanges, and the broader crypto market. So, buckle up, folks! 🚀

An army of analysts from Bloomberg like James Seyffart, mouths pursed like over-boiled dumplings, nod with solemnity: “But of course, the SEC is about as ready for Solana as an old auntie is for TikTok.” No shock here—if it isn’t Bitcoin or Ethereum, regulators eye it like soup with suspicious meat floating inside.
