🚨 CRYPTO: SENATOR WARREN TARGETS MRBEAST OVER CRYPTO AND KIDS' BANKING @SenWarren is asking questions about the world's biggest YouTuber getting into financial services for children. @MrBeast's Beast Industries acquired Step, a teen banking app with 7M+ users, in February. The company also took a $200M investment from crypto firm Bitmine and filed trademarks in 2025 for "MrBeast Financial," covering crypto exchanges, payment processing, and investment services. Warren's concern: 39% of MrBeast's audience is aged 13-17. He's now sitting on a banking platform aimed directly at them, with crypto integration on the roadmap, and unresolved allegations of making $10-23M from promoting and dumping tokens. The timing collides with the broader push to regulate crypto access for minors. The White House AI framework released Friday included child protection as its first policy objective. Whether this is legitimate oversight or Warren doing her usual anti-crypto posture depends on your priors. But the optics of a YouTuber accused of token dumping running a kids' bank with crypto features writes itself.
