Friends, I’m going to tell you a very personal story… |
Because it could be a life-saver for you in 2026. |
You see, by the mid-1990s, I was making a fortune on Wall Street. |
But in 1998, it all came crashing down during the Russian and Asian financial crisis. |
I lost everything and went bankrupt. |
And here’s the thing… |
My ideas were usually good and later proved right. |
But I put my lifestyle at risk by taking on too much risk. |
So when I was wrong – even temporarily – it wiped me out. |
After losing everything, I completely changed my investment approach… |
And started following this wealth-building strategy that made me rich. |
Back in December, I launched a brand-new venture around this strategy because I believe it’s going to be critical this year. |
Just to give you an idea… |
In the last 12 months alone… |
I’ve already collected hundreds of thousands of dollars… |
Without taking excessive risk. |
So please see the details here and I’ll even show you my personal brokerage statement. |

“Sir, this isn’t a casino. It’s a horse betting track.” |
I took one look around me and laughed. 88 Fortunes, Super 7, Wheel of Fortune… I counted dozens of Vegas-style slot machines. I didn’t see a single horse. |
I was in Kentucky with friends, and they wanted to try their luck at the blackjack tables. Except we couldn’t find them. |
That’s when the woman in a black vest and bow tie informed me we were not at a casino… and what looked like regular slot machines were in fact horse betting machines. |
“Pull the lever,” she told me, pointing to one close by. |
Then I saw it. At the very top of the screen, so faint that none of us had noticed it before, a group of digital horses galloped around an invisible racetrack. |
We laughed about it for the rest of the night. But the next day, I did some research… |
Casinos are technically illegal in Kentucky. Rather than let a multibillion-dollar opportunity go to waste, operators found a loophole. In 2011, they slapped some digital horses at the top of the slot machines and called it a horse betting track. |
It was a big hit. By 2024, Kentucky’s HHR machines had processed close to $10 billion in bets. Here’s how the Kentucky Law Journal explains the loophole: |
These machines flash, spin, and accept rapid wagers in a manner closely resembling traditional slot machines. But despite these similarities, Kentucky law does not classify these devices as casino games. Rather, they are treated as wagers placed on previously run horse races – known as Historical Horse Racing. |

I’m telling you this story because it shows that, when the money is big enough, industries find a way to redefine the words if they can’t redefine the laws. |
The banks figured this out long before crypto did. And as I’ll show you in a moment, crypto is running the same play against them now. |
Wall Street Wrote This Playbook |
We’ve seen this playbook before. |
After the Great Depression, lawmakers wanted to separate commercial banking from investment banking. They didn’t want Grandma’s savings account funding Wall Street’s next speculation. |
So in 1933, Congress passed the Banking Act (aka Glass-Steagall). It effectively built a wall between the two types of banking. |
Wall Street hated it. They wanted to sell investment products to Grandma, but lawmakers kept saying no. |
So the banks did what powerful industries always do when the prize is big enough: They found workarounds. Little by little, activities that were once separated started to blur. |
By the time Congress formally repealed major parts of Glass-Steagall in 1999, the market had already spent years weakening the wall. |
Just like the Kentucky “horse betting” operators, the banks redefined the words. And today, the crypto industry is about to use that same playbook against the banks. |
Banks Think They’ve Won |
This goes back to the Secret War on Crypto that Daily Editor Teeka Tiwari has been warning you about. At the center of it right now is the Clarity Act – one of the most important crypto bills moving through Congress. |
The Clarity Act is designed to finally give the U.S. crypto industry something that, for years, it’s been campaigning Washington for: Clear rules. |
Think about it. Big institutions don’t want to build on rules that may change next year. Public companies don’t want to integrate crypto payments if regulators can come after them for it later. |
What the crypto industry needs is clarity. And it already got a huge boost in that area with the recent SEC ruling. But there is still one major sticking point left unanswered: Stablecoin yield. |
A stablecoin is simply a digital dollar. Think of it like the dollar before 1971, when every greenback the U.S. government printed was backed by gold in a vault. In a similar way, stablecoin issuers hold Treasury bills. These bills back the stablecoins they issue. |
Unlike your bank account, however, stablecoin issuers are eager to pay you the 3.6% income they receive from holding these Treasurys. Paying you helps them accumulate market share. |
It’s why the banks have been on what Teeka calls “a scorched-earth campaign” against the Clarity Act. They spent $87 million lobbying Washington in 2025 alone, up 12% from the previous year. They have too much money on the line to just roll over. |
Big T put it best in the February 16 Daily: |
Right now, U.S. banks are sitting on roughly $6.6 trillion in customer deposits. These are your savings. While you earn 0.10% on your bank deposits, inflation is at 3%. That means you’re losing 2.9% every year in purchasing power by parking cash in the banks. Over 10 years, that compounds to a 25% loss in purchasing power for you. Meanwhile, at a minimum, the banks are making $200 billion per year on that money, risk-free. |

This is why banks hate the idea of crypto companies paying people to hold stablecoins. |
What happens to bank deposits if stablecoins gain mass adoption? Would you keep $10,000 in a Wells Fargo checking account earning next to nothing if a stablecoin wallet gave you faster payments, cheaper global access to your money, and paid you nearly 4%? |
I wouldn’t. |
Now, according to the latest reporting, the banking lobby appears to have won. The Clarity Act compromise on May 1 reportedly blocks crypto firms from paying interest or yield on stablecoin balances in a way that looks too much like a bank deposit. |
In other words, stablecoin companies may not be able to say: “Park your digital dollars here and we’ll pay you 4%.” But the way I see it, it’s not the victory banks may think it is. |
Crypto Found Its Horse Race |
I believe this will be crypto’s horse-betting loophole. Here’s why. |
Stablecoin companies may not be able to pay you “interest” for holding digital dollars. But they may be able to pay you “rewards” for using them. This is why I believe banks won the word fight, but lost the war for your money. |
Over time, the average user won’t care what the payment is called. They’ll only care that their dollars are earning more than they would be sitting in their bank account. |
Think about how credit cards work. No one says Chase or American Express is paying them “interest” when they earn cash back on groceries or airline miles on travel. You call it rewards, or points, or miles. |
I believe stablecoin companies will be able to do the same thing. |
Maybe they won’t get to call it “interest.” But if you keep $10,000 in a wallet, make a $5 purchase, and receive a $50 “loyalty bonus,” you’ll understand what happened. Just like I did in Kentucky. |
The market seems to understand this, too. Stablecoin company Circle (CRCL), which we recommended in our Inside Crypto publication in February, jumped 18% on Monday alone. That’s when it became clear the banks and crypto side came to an agreement, based on the latest reporting. |
Back in March, Circle already gave our subscribers the chance to book a 106% “free ride” win in just 26 days. That means readers can now let the other half of the position run, essentially “risk-free.” |
And that’s just one way we’re helping our readers position themselves for the $117 trillion stablecoin trend. To learn more, you can watch this video briefing from Teeka where he lays out all of his research on stablecoins. |
There, you’ll also get details on six projects he likes right now, that are trading at deep discounts… Including a company he believes will be the gateway between Wall Street and stablecoins. |
When the market finally awakens to this trend and reprices these altcoins higher, those positioned in the ideas could see 10x, 15x, or even 20x gains from here. |
While the banking industry may think it’s winning the stablecoin yield fight, our long-term stablecoin thesis hasn’t changed. If anything, this makes us more bullish. |
Just like the casino became a horse betting track in Kentucky… And just like the banking wall became a regulatory gray area after the Great Depression… Stablecoin “interest” is now on track to become stablecoin “rewards.” |
If you understand this now, before the rest of the market catches on, you’ll be in the best position to profit. |
Don’t Watch the Future Happen. Own It! |
