&nbsp;<br />Bitcoin news and bitcoin regulation update. Today I cover the Senate pushback against an SBF pardon, a housing bill deal with a CBDC ban through 2030, Binance’s reported MiCA trouble in Europe, Christine Lagarde’s digital euro argument, stablecoin risk warnings from the IMF, Illinois’ new crypto transaction tax, and a Bitcoin, AI, and energy summit in Mexico. This one leans heavy into bitcoin regulation, financial news, stablecoins, and the increasingly weird fight over who gets to control digital money.&nbsp;<br /><br /><br />Topics for today:&nbsp;<br /><ul><li>&nbsp;Senators oppose an SBF pardon&nbsp;</li><li>&nbsp;Congress moves CBDC ban forward&nbsp;</li><li>&nbsp;Binance faces MiCA pressure in Europe&nbsp;</li><li>&nbsp;Lagarde backs the digital euro&nbsp;</li><li>&nbsp;IMF flags Nigeria stablecoin risks&nbsp;</li><li>&nbsp;Illinois approves crypto transaction tax&nbsp;</li><li>&nbsp;Bitcoin, AI, and energy leaders head to Punta Mita&nbsp;</li></ul><br />Today’s Articles covering bitcoin news, bitcoin regulation, and financial news:<br />&nbsp;<br /><a href="https://decrypt.co/371399/senators-introduce-bipartisan-resolution-opposing-sbf-pardon" target="_blank">https://decrypt.co/371399/senators-introduce-bipartisan-resolution-opposing-sbf-pardon</a><br /> <br /><a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/congress-reaches-deal-on-housing-bill-inclusive-of-cbdc-ban-until-2030" target="_blank">https://cointelegraph.com/news/congress-reaches-deal-on-housing-bill-inclusive-of-cbdc-ban-until-2030</a><br /> <br /><a href="https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/binance-faces-european-union-exit" target="_blank">https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/binance-faces-european-union-exit</a><br /> <br /><a href="https://atlas21.com/ecb-lagarde-pushes-for-digital-euro-against-dollar-stablecoins/" target="_blank">https://atlas21.com/ecb-lagarde-pushes-for-digital-euro-against-dollar-stablecoins/</a><br /> <br /><a href="https://decrypt.co/371287/scale-stablecoin-adoption-nigeria-risks-more-pronounced-imf" target="_blank">https://decrypt.co/371287/scale-stablecoin-adoption-nigeria-risks-more-pronounced-imf</a><br /> <br /><a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-advocates-execs-push-back-on-illinois-transaction-tax" target="_blank">https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-advocates-execs-push-back-on-illinois-transaction-tax</a><br /> <br /><a href="https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/invite-only-mita-techtalks-2026" target="_blank">https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/invite-only-mita-techtalks-2026</a><br />&nbsp; <p>Get Your Free Comfrey Owner's Manual Here:<br /><a href="https://www.bitcoinandshow.com/the-comfrey-owners-manual-is-here/" target="_blank">https://www.bitcoinandshow.com/the-comfrey-owners-manual-is-here/</a><br /><br />Help a Brother Out With 5 Star Reviews:<br /><br />Apple Podcasts: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bitcoin-and-bitcoin-economic-news/id1438789088" target="_blank">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bitcoin-and-bitcoin-economic-news/id1438789088</a><br /><br />Spotify Podcasts: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1dsTluNHIPNsXVRghpqxhY" target="_blank">https://open.spotify.com/show/1dsTluNHIPNsXVRghpqxhY</a><br /><br />Amazon Music: <a href="https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/9ef7d5b6-9137-439d-94eb-8071ec6bf890/bitcoin-and-bitcoin-economic-news" target="_blank">https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/9ef7d5b6-9137-439d-94eb-8071ec6bf890/bitcoin-and-bitcoin-economic-news</a><br /><br />YouTube Music: <a href="https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWaKxaQF5Q5WiTq80SBYs_7iLDtleV0rZ" target="_blank">https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWaKxaQF5Q5WiTq80SBYs_7iLDtleV0rZ</a><br /><br />Find the Bitcoin And Podcast on every podcast app here:<br /><a href="https://episodes.fm/1438789088" target="_blank">https://episodes.fm/1438789088</a><br /><br />Find me on nostr<br />npub1vwymuey3u7mf860ndrkw3r7dz30s0srg6tqmhtjzg7umtm6rn5eq2qzugd (npub)<br />6389be6491e7b693e9f368ece88fcd145f07c068d2c1bbae4247b9b5ef439d32 (Hex)<br /><br />Twitter:<br /><a href="https://twitter.com/DavidB84567" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/DavidB84567</a><br /><br />StackerNews:<br />stacker.news/NunyaBidness<br /><br />Podcasting 2.0:<br />fountain.fm/show/eK5XaSb3UaLRavU3lYrI<br /><br />Apple Podcasts:<br />tinyurl.com/unm35bjh <br /><br />Mastodon:<br /><a href="https://noauthority.social/@NunyaBidness" target="_blank">https://noauthority.social/@NunyaBidness</a><br /><br />Support Bitcoin And . . . on Patreon: <br />patreon.com/BitcoinAndPodcast<br /><br />Find Lightning Network Channel partners here:<br /><a href="https://t.me/+bj-7w_ePsANlOGEx" target="_blank">https://t.me/+bj-7w_ePsANlOGEx</a> (Nodestrich)<br /><a href="https://t.me/plebnet" target="_blank">https://t.me/plebnet</a> (Plebnet)<br /><br />Music by:<br />Flutey Funk Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)<br />Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License<br />creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/</p>
