It takes fewer people to produce more output. That will start to hit the job market soon, and then everything else.
Microsoft is offering buyouts to 60,000(!) employees. Headcount and revenue growth is really starting to diverge at tech companies.

🚨UPDATE: @ABABankers isn’t happy with the @USOCC’s final GENIUS Act rule, saying it “will preserve the status quo for crypto platforms” after the regulator dropped its proposed restrictions on stablecoin yield. “Attempting to address deposit flight and economic harm after it has occurred is the wrong approach,” ABA CEO @BankersPrez says.
🚨NEW: OCC Finalizes GENIUS Act Rules, Backs Off Stablecoin Rewards Restrictions The @USOCC has finalized its GENIUS Act rules, dropping proposed restrictions on stablecoin rewards and leaving a major fight between banks and crypto firms unresolved. cryptoinamerica.com/p/occ-fi…

A big week for regulations kicked off yesterday, as Paradigm partnered with @fund_defi, @jump_, @SolanaInstitute, and @Uniswap to comment on Treasury’s proposed rule regarding who can issue, offer, and sell stablecoins in the US under the GENIUS Act. Congress struck a careful balance in GENIUS: rules for issuers and intermediaries, and protections for decentralized infrastructure developers and providers. Treasury’s proposal is a good start, but blurs that clear line in key places.

Great to have @BrentJMcIntosh, chief legal officer at @Citi, on the pod to talk about how one of the biggest banks in the world is thinking about AI right now. We also discuss why Citi and others formed the Alliance for Critical Infrastructure. Great stuff! (Link in reply)

Reuters reported, citing three people, that more than half of the CFPB exams resumed this spring went through an "expedited review." The CFPB did not respond to Reuters. Lighter exams, same rules. Often the strictest reviewer is a bank partner or a state. #compliance

President Trump says he has not yet agreed to a trilateral meeting with Russia and Ukraine, but says "I'd do it." "If they'd like to have it, I think it would be held in China," he says.
