Martin Armstrong: While the World Was Distracted by Epstein

Summary:
July 17, 2025

While the world was distracted by the Epstein debacle, legislators introduced the GENUIS Act that would permit the US government to regulate stablecoins.

The GENUIS (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act), primarily sponsored by Senator Bill Hagerty (R-Tennessee), permits the government to oversee, regulate, and define the $250 billion stablecoin market.

Now, stablecoins differ from cryptocurrencies as they are pegged to a stable asset such as a fiat currency or commodity. Cryptocurrencies are allegedly allowed to freely operate on the market based on supply and demand. The GENIUS Act will peg stablecoins to the US dollar and require issuers to maintain a 1:1 reserve ratio in short-term treasuries or cash.

Issuers holding over $10 billion in outstanding stablecoins will be subject to federal regulation under a newly created oversight agency. These issuers will now be deemed financial institutions and required to meet the traditional banking regulations as well. Stablecoins can no longer pay interest or act as an alternative to bonds. Perhaps most notably, issuers must not meet anti-money-laundering (AML) regulations, which are set to provide the government with unlimited access to payments.

Note: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene voted NO. See the article for more.

'This is our moment': Trump urges GOP support for stablecoin, crypto clarity bills
during Crypto Week

Summary:

Lions…

Trump says: 'This is our moment': Trump urges GOP support for stablecoin, crypto clarity bills during Crypto Week. This week, the U.S. House of Representatives will consider the stablecoin GENIUS bill and the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. President Trump has repeatedly said he wants the U.S. to be the crypto capital of the world and said Tuesday, “Digital Assets are the FUTURE, and we are leading by a lot!”

Lions..
Lets break this down.

THE GENIUS BILL & THE CLARITY ACT
What's REALLY Going On?

Stablecoin Legalization
The “GENIUS” bill sets the groundwork for government sanctioned stablecoins which are digital dollars backed by nothing but centralized power.

WHAT YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW
These are issued by private companies, but regulated by the Fed.

The Digital Asset Market “Clarity” Act
(This is a MASK).
This gives federal agencies complete authority to define what is and isn’t a digital security or commodity.

(For years now I have warned of a system where everything will be “tokenized,” and this is a MAJOR step in making that happen).

WHAT THIS REALLY MEANS
They’re replacing the fiat dollar with a new digital leash. And to sell it, they picked Trump, the loudest voice of “sovereignty” to repackage control as revolution.

Is this what you want?
Thoughts? Comments?

Moreover, when Trump says… “This Is Our Moment,” to whom is he referring to?

WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT WAS AN ABOMINATION! WE DO NOT CONSENT!

By Gregory Mannarino, TradersChoice.net

While we slept, THEY moved. They pushed through corporate-run stablecoin legislation… handing control of your money, your future, your freedom to Wall Street, the Fed, and Babylon’s digital cage.

This is not a CBDC… it’s WORSE.

A Fed-sanctioned token system issued by mega-corporations surveilled, controlled, and tracked from the shadows. WITH NO OVERSIGHT! At least with a CBDC there would be Congressional Oversight! But with this privatized token currency/stablecoin… THERE IS NOTHING. We were not even asked if this is what WE the People want!!!!!!!!!!

Instead… they did it under cover of darkness, while the people were distracted. This is not democracy. This was a coordinated abomination.

Corporate Stablecoins Controlled by the Fed. THIS is what passed the House last night while everyone is being distracted.

This is in reality A WORST CASE SCENERIO… We would have been better off with a direct CBDC.
Why?

1. Illusion of Choice… Total Control
These corporate stablecoins masquerade as “free market innovation,” giving people the illusion that they are using a decentralized or private alternative to government money. But behind the curtain? The Fed and Treasury still pull the strings.

2. NO Congressional Accountability
A Fed CBDC would require direct Congressional approval and would spark massive public debate. But corporate issued stablecoins can be rolled out without public oversight!

3. Built-in Surveillance by Proxy
When private firms issue “money” as these stablecoins, but the Fed regulates the flow, the government gains full surveillance capability without ever appearing on your bank app. The Fed watches from behind the veil, with no fingerprints.

4. Programmability and Blacklisting
These stablecoins can be programmed just like a CBDC… Transactions denied based on social score, location, spending habits. Wallets frozen “for security concerns.” Cross platform tracking (shopping, browsing, travel). All without ever passing a law.

5. Corporate Profiteering + State Tyranny = Babylon Hybrid Beast
This is THE unholy alliance. Corporate tech giants and the central banking system merging into one. The corporations profit from adoption. The Fed enforces compliance. The people? Locked in digital servitude.

6. Trump’s Trojan Horse
Trump publicly rejects CBDCs… but supports corporate stablecoins regulated by the Fed? Sure, this appeals to conservatives and crypto fans alike but it’s the same beast.

Lions… Corporate Stablecoins = Babylon’s digital chains in disguise… and infinitely dangerous.
