ROLLUP: Circle IPO Hits $20B | Stablecoin Summer Is On | Trump Wallet Chaos | EF Deploys Special For

This week, Ryan and David unpack Circle’s explosive $20B IPO—crypto’s second biggest—and what it signals about Wall Street’s newfound love for stablecoins. They break down the confusing Trump wallet drama, where even Trump’s own sons deny involvement, and explore why Pump.fun’s rumored $4B token raise has the industry split. Ethereum enters “wartime mode” as the Foundation lays off staff and spins up a lean new R&D force called Protocol. Plus, Ray Dalio says “a bit of Bitcoin,” Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill adds $2.4T to the deficit, and SBF is headed to Netflix. ------ 📣BANKLESS & FRAX MEETUP | PERMISSIONLESS 2O25 https://lu.ma/uf9mmcoa ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🪙FRAX | SELF SUFFICIENT DeFi https://bankless.cc/Frax 🦄UNISWAP | SWAP ON UNICHAIN https://bankless.cc/unichain 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle 🌐SELF | PROVE YOUR SELF https://bankless.cc/Self 🟠BINANCE | THE WORLDS #1 CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://bankless.cc/binance ------ TIMESTAMPS & RESOURCES 0:00 Intro 0:41 Circle IPO https://x.com/circle/status/1930624298760143333 https://www.theblock.co/post/356602/circle-seeks-7-2-billion-valuation-in-upsized-ipo https://x.com/ruiixyz/status/1930386144216396176 https://x.com/EconomyApp/status/1930657679418241238 https://x.com/jerallaire/status/1930595978215637360 https://x.com/EffortCapital/status/1930621939279679542 9:34 Markets 12:23 Trump BBB https://x.com/alifarhat79/status/1930265604105150647 https://x.com/alifarhat79/status/1930256218108383338 https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1930452348234805665 https://x.com/WatcherGuru/status/1930659468536144062 https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1/text https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1929954109689606359 https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1929993372586152364 23:53 Pump.fun is getting ready for a token https://blockworks.co/news/pumpdotfun-token-sale https://x.com/nextfckingthing/status/1929871539018576257 https://dune.com/tiagocryptonary/pump-fun-analytics https://x.com/lmrankhan/status/1928163796691845133 https://x.com/VannaCharmer/status/1930318687333986639 32:00 Ethereum Foundation announced another big change! https://x.com/TimBeiko/status/1929620145984753843 https://x.com/econoar/status/1930361688047661495 https://blog.ethereum.org/2025/06/04/ef-treasury-policy https://x.com/centauridoteth/status/1929896351447372191 https://x.com/ViktorBunin/status/1929945974316662804 44:43 Strategy found a new way how to raise more money for Bitcoin https://x.com/saylor/status/1929635975367475403 https://x.com/DylanLeClair_/status/1929661889963086170 49:01 Trump team launched a crypto wallet - or did they? https://x.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1929943367892283828 https://x.com/EricTrump/status/1929966635445576103 https://x.com/0xLeoInRio/status/1929955682037731340 https://x.com/molly0xFFF/status/1930351820288741708 https://x.com/Ronxyz00/status/1929884476328276036 https://x.com/EricBalchunas/status/1930015280094429381 57:50 SBF is heading to Netflix! https://x.com/netflix/status/1928153876475097117 1:00:26 Bankless is looking for talent! https://x.com/i/jobs/1929890683927638133 https://x.com/i/jobs/1929889475783520481 1:01:38 Closing & Disclaimer 1:02:01 Moment of Zen https://x.com/l3olanza/status/1930320045139173881 ------ Not financial or tax advice.
