The ugliest part is the exchanges can place THEIR OWN LONGS AND SHORTS on their own order books. There are no rules, no regulations no laws until Clarity.

UPDATE: SWIFT launches a new cross-border payments framework with 50+ banks including @jpmorgan, @HSBC, @Citi and @BNPParibas, promising instant settlement, fixed fees and end-to-end traceability across major remittance corridors by end of June.
BREAKING: Binance is launching US stock trading for non-US users, with fractional shares starting from just $5.
Users could buy with USDT, USDC or BNB, tokenize eligible shares onchain, and potentially use them across DeFi for lending and liquidity.
This could make it much easier for global crypto users to invest in famous US companies like Apple and Nvidia.
BANKS JUST FOUND A WAY TO USE BLOCKCHAIN WITHOUT TOUCHING CRYPTO. AND IT CHANGES EVERYTHING.
🇺🇸 SWIFT is moving its global payment network on-chain. 40+ banks. 200+ countries. Live with real transactions this year.
The key isn't the blockchain. It's what moves on it: tokenized bank deposits.
A stablecoin is a claim on a private issuer outside the banking system.
A tokenized deposit is real money, in a real bank, under real regulation. Just on-chain.
Banks get the speed and 24/7 settlement of crypto rails. The money never leaves their control.
That's why they stopped fighting blockchain. They found the version that keeps them in charge.
🚨HUGE: SWIFT confirms over 50 major banks will implement CRYPTO rails for cross-border payments.
Bank of America, JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, Bank of China and SBI are among the banks backing the initiative, with over 25 set to begin processing payments by June.
Swift handles over $150 TRILLION annually.
A bank your parents have heard of. A payments app your roommate uses. A checkout that takes stablecoins. All shipped on Solana this week.
