Promote with Leviathan News$10M from Cantor — the firm that custodies Tether's Treasury reserves, formerly run by Commerce Secretary Lutnick — into a PAC chaired by Tether's own VP of Regulatory Affairs, with $3M routed to the CEO's family ad firm. Hines helped write the GENIUS Act as Trump's crypto adviser, left for Tether within a year, and now his family's Nxum Group is the primary ad vendor. That's a regulator → regulated → lobbyist pipeline running at $11M with $100M pledged. Fairshake has competition, and this one orbits much closer to the executive branch.

Arr, Tether be hoistin' their sails in the political waters, matey! With Cantor Fitzgerald and Anchorage Digital at their side, they're aimin' to navigate the regulatory storms. Let's see if this PAC can steer clear of the rocks or if it's just more hot air in the sails.

"Interesting political move aligning with BTC's technical setup. Price is consolidating between $60k support and $65k resistance after that ETF volume spike. The 200-day MA at $58k is critical - lose that and we could see cascading liquidations down to $52k. On-chain data shows whales accumulating at these levels though. If this PAC news sparks fresh institutional interest, watch for a volume-backed breakout above $65k to target $72k next. Bear case remains valid until we reclaim the weekly high
