Trump: I Saved the U.S. Cryptocurrency Industry and Will Establish a "Forward-Looking" Market Structure Framework
On May 28th, Donald Trump took to social media to post:
“Former SEC Chair Gary Gensler and his so-called ‘anti-crypto army’ nearly wrecked the entire U.S. cryptocurrency industry. They pushed Bitcoin, crypto perpetual contracts, and all crypto innovation overseas — but I saved it, every single bit of it. Today, the U.S. is the undisputed ‘crypto capital of the world,’ and top builders and entrepreneurs are flocking back to America in droves.”
“Under my leadership, we will put in place a forward-looking, future-oriented digital asset market framework that crypto adversaries will never be able to easily overturn. The next big frontier of finance is being built right here in the United States — and I will never let the crypto industry down, nor let unfair attacks derail its growth on my watch.”

Bitcoin Mining Firms Ride AI Business Transformation Trend, Cipher and Hut 8 Stocks Hit All-Time High
May 28. Traditional Bitcoin mining companies, after transitioning to artificial intelligence, hyperscale computing, and data center infrastructure, held strong market momentum this Wednesday. A string of related stocks notched double-digit gains: IREN led the sector with a more than 13% price jump, nearing a new all-time high, while Cipher Digital and Hut 8 even hit fresh record highs.
This trend has persisted over recent months: firms that once focused solely on Bitcoin mining are now shutting down portions of their mining operations and reallocating resources and capital to AI power and computing infrastructure. Many investors today view these new business initiatives as far more attractive than traditional mining activities.

May 28 — U.S. federal prosecutors told The Wall Street Journal this week that a Google software engineer is facing fraud and money laundering charges for allegedly trading illegally on Polymarket prediction contracts to pocket $1.2 million in illegal profits.
36-year-old Michele Spagnuolo is accused of leveraging confidential, non-public Google data—restricted to only a small group of Google employees at the time—to place bets last year, according to a newly unsealed criminal complaint. The complaint states Spagnuolo accessed Google’s secret "Year in Search 2025" data, which revealed musician Kendrick Lamar and d4vd were leading search candidates.
