The Supreme Court heard arguments on President Donald Trump's executive order redefining birthright citizenship, with observers noting Justice Samuel Alito's apparent support for the government's position.

While Chief Justice John Roberts called Solicitor General D. John Sauer's approach "quirky," Alito posed questions that aided the government's arguments, citing illegal immigration as unknown during the 14th Amendment's adoption. Alito also raised hypothetical questions about Iranian sleeper cells obtaining citizenship.

Legal experts criticized the line of questioning. Constitutional law professor Anthony Michael Kreis stated Alito's reasoning would have appalled the Founding generation.

Financial analyst George Pearkes predicted a disastrous hearing for the Trump administration, anticipating a 7-2 decision against the government. Critics noted Alito's questions reflected conspiracy theories about immigrant babies becoming "Manchurian Americans."

The case, Trump v. Barbara, will determine whether birthright citizenship survives constitutional challenge

VanEck Targets Stablecoins & Next-Gen ICOs

The post VanEck Targets Stablecoins & Next-Gen ICOs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Welcome to the US Crypto News Morning Briefing—your essential rundown of the most important developments in crypto for the day ahead. Grab a coffee because the firms shaping crypto’s future are not just building products, but also trying to reshape how capital flows. Crypto News of the Day: VanEck Maps Next Frontier of Crypto Venture Investing VanEck, a Wall Street player known for financial “firsts,” is pushing that legacy into Web3. The firsts include pioneering US gold funds and launching one of the earliest spot Bitcoin ETFs. Sponsored Sponsored “Financial instruments have always been a kind of tokenization. From seashells to traveler’s checks, from relational databases to today’s on-chain assets. You could even joke that VanEck’s first gold mutual funds were the original ‘tokenized gold,’” Juan C. Lopez, General Partner at VanEck Ventures, told BeInCrypto. That same instinct drives the firm’s venture bets. Lopez said VanEck goes beyond writing checks and brings the full weight of the firm. This extends from regulatory proximity to product experiments to founders building the next phase of crypto infrastructure. Asked about key investment priorities, Lopez highlighted stablecoins. “We care deeply about three questions: How do we accelerate stablecoin ubiquity? What will users want to do with them once highly distributed? And what net new assets can we construct now that we have sophisticated market infrastructure?” Lopez added. However, VanEck is not limiting itself to the hottest narrative, acknowledging that decentralized finance (DeFi) is having a renaissance. The VanEck executive also noted that success will depend on new approaches to identity and programmable compliance layered on public blockchains.
