Get your exclusive RUMS x Arculus cold storage wallet today!Crypto Payment  ·  Card PaymentWednesday night in the After Dark — Evan, Will, and Alex working through one of the heaviest news weeks of the year. The Clarity Act draft is, in Evan's words, 'an absolute dumpster fire and a complete clusterfuck.' They walk through what's in it, where Stand With Crypto's million-advocates math doesn't add up, why DEF's letter to Congress (1000+ signatories) drawing the line on software-developer protections matters, and where the policy ethos has drifted from what crypto was originally designed for.Then the headline announcement: pre-orders for the co-branded RUMS x Arculus Purple Wallet are LIVE. Tonight's show is brought to you by Arculus, with a great Mark Sepulveda / St. Jude story from the Arculus booth at Consensus (Composecure powers the Gemini card, Coinbase card, MetaMask card, even Amex Platinum and Black — the joke is Arculus is probably already in your pocket). And the Jito JTX Trade pitch — Jito as the gateway to Solana DeFi, insulated from the Drift exploit, with early-access RefLinks for anyone who wants to test it before public rollout.Will's Bitcoin TA: May 6 cemented the local top, May 10 was a fake bullish hammer that closed below resistance, now $79.5K with no oversold signal yet on the daily. Targeting a higher low. Alex's DeFi Llama walkthrough closes the show — Circle protocol revenue $2.3B annualized, Canton $767M, and the brutal observation that most cryptos are valued at 240,000x annual revenue with no mechanism to translate protocol revenue back to token holders.Powered by Jito — stake your SOL at https://www.jito.network/staking/.Support the show— Want to hang out with us after the show, get live answers to your questions, or join future giveaways?
