NFL Draft Summer Scouting Report: David Bailey, Edge, Texas Tech
Summer is here, and it is everyone's favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Vikings fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Minnesota. Are we going to write about quarterbacks? You know it, but why? Because other NFL teams will draft them, just as they will draft every other position. It all matters whether these players end up on the Vikings, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Vikings fans can be the most informed fans. So if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall. Player Information Player: David Bailey School: Texas Tech Height/Weight: 6-3/240 lbs. Player Background - 4-Star Recruit - All-American in High School - Brother played football at Harvard - Transferred from Stanford to Texas Tech Career Stats Heading into the 2025 Season - 111 Tackles - 23 Tackles for a Loss - 14.5 Sacks - 7 Forced Fumbles Notable PFF Numbers Heading into the 2025 Season - 62.6 PFF Run Defense Grade - 81.6 PFF Pass Rush Grade - 11 QB Hits - 65 QB Hurries - 48 Defensive Stops Player Traits - Uses his length to gain leverage over OL - Played well against Clemson and OT Blake Miller - Explodes off the snap to catch OL off guard - Quick hands to get a swim move or hand fight in to disengage blockers - Gets to the ball often in the backfield to force fumbles Player Summary David Bailey was not used as much as I had hoped when watching the Stanford defense, which may be why he is transferring to Texas Tech. Bailey, when on the field, demonstrates explosive traits and an athletic ability that should have draft evaluators drooling if he tests well and goes to an All-Star game next January. He has good length that he uses to gain leverage and leave offensive tackles scrambling. He demonstrated this well against Clemson's Blake Miller, who has first-round potential as a prospect. Bailey impressed me with his quick hands, though, and his ability to get to the ball and force fumbles. He should see a lot of development come the end of the season if the Red Raiders use him more than Stanford did.

Build Back Better bill could drop tax on small crypto payments
Build Back Better bill could drop tax on small crypto payments originally appeared on TheStreet. A renewed push to exempt small cryptocurrency transactions from taxation is gaining traction ahead of an imminent Senate vote on amendments to the Build Back Better bill. The Build Back Better Act was introduced in the 117th Congress. This comprehensive social and climate spending plan supports President Joe Biden's economic agenda, investing in renewable energy, healthcare, education, and the family services sector. Beyond social infrastructure, the bill also includes changes to crypto regulation and argue for a tax exclusion on purchases of digital currency under $600, noting that micropayments have the potential to include more individuals in the emerging asset class. For example, Ben Pham, a crypto policy advocate and public figure, posted on X on Saturday night to advocate for a tax exclusion for Bitcoin transactions under $600. "Buying things under $600 with Bitcoin should be tax-free. Let's make it happen!" Pham posted in response to a tweet by Bitcoin Magazine CEO David Bailey, which asked constituents to contact senators ahead of the vote. Bailey said he would have something on a crypto tax amendment that could be a part of proposals taken up as soon as today or pointed out, however, that the proposal's fair adjustments for inflation would be up for debate. One X user, Adam Simecka, wrote, "Why $600 inflationary dollars? That is not how this should be measured," implying that the real value would have eroded due to inflation since the number was proposed years earlier. A crypto tax exemption could signal that U.S. tax law is altering more in relation to digital assets as policymakers discuss the Build Back Better amendments.

Bank of England set to introduce stringent rules in 2026
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... The Bank of England (BoE) plans to introduce more restrictive rules on banks' exposure to digital assets by 2026 to protect financial stability, according to its top executive. During the 'Risk Live Europe' event in London, David Bailey, executive director of prudential policy at the BoE, said that the United Kingdom is exploring stricter regulations around digital asset exposure. 'There are also examples where it might be more appropriate to start more towards the restrictive end of the spectrum, while evidence is gathered to see if standards can be relaxed over time,' said Bailey during his speech at the risk management and financial markets conference, as reported by CoinDesk. 'The prudential treatment of banks' exposures to cryptoassets, and specifically those with features associated with heightened price volatility and where investors could lose the entirety of their investment, is an example in this space.' Bailey also said that the U.K.'s plans would be 'informed' by the guidelines set out by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's (BCBS) disclosure framework for banks' exposure to digital assets. The Committee—an international body that sets global standards for the regulation and supervision of banks to promote financial stability and strengthen banking systems—finalized its framework for banks' 'disclosure of cryptoasset exposures' in July of last year and agreed to implement the standard by January 1, 2026. The final disclosure framework includes a set of standardized tables and templates covering banks' digital asset exposures, requiring banks to disclose qualitative information on their digital asset-related activities and quantitative information on the capital and liquidity requirements for their digital asset exposures. 'The use of common disclosure requirements aims to enhance information availability and support market discipline,' said the BCBS when announcing the final framework. Additionally, the Basel Committee recommended that banks only allow 1% of their investments to be in digital assets, a factor that likely plays into the BoE's mooted, more restrictive rules on digital asset exposure. The BoE's latest pronouncement on digital asset policy comes as HM Treasury and the U.K.'s finance sector regulators are speeding up progress on the country's broader digital asset regulatory framework. UK regulatory progress In April, the Treasury published high-level draft regulations for cryptoassets and stablecoins. Titled the 'future financial services regulatory regime for cryptoassets,' it officially delegated detailed rulemaking authority of the majority of the digital asset space to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), except for systemic stablecoins, which fall under the purview of the BoE and the U.K.'s banking regulator, the Prudential Regulation Authority. It also outlined several high-level digital asset activities that would bring an entity within U.K. regulation, placing foreign issuers of stablecoins outside this scope. This was followed, in May, by the FCA—the U.K.'s top finance sector regulator—publishing two consultation papers, one on 'stablecoin issuance and cryptoasset custody,' and the other on 'a prudential regime for cryptoasset firms.' The consultation paper on stablecoin issuance and cryptoasset custody aims to ensure regulated stablecoins maintain their value and that customers are provided with clear information on how the backing assets are managed. Meanwhile, the consultation paper on a prudential regime for cryptoasset firms seeks to establish rules to develop a safe, competitive, and sustainable digital asset sector. However, all of this regulatory progress must be taken in context with the U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, indicating that the country plans to work with the United States to support innovation across the digital asset industry. In an April 29 statement, Reeves set out the U.K.'s stool by saying she aims to make the country the 'best place in the world to innovate.' The Chancellor also said that the U.K. and U.S. would use their upcoming joint 'Financial Regulatory Working Group' to 'continue engagement to support the use and responsible growth of digital assets.' Aligning with President Donald Trump's pro-crypto regulatory agenda would signal a shift away from the more safety-first and consumer protection approach that has characterized how digital assets have been treated thus far in the U.K. under the financial promotion regime—currently the only major piece of regulation in the country that deals directly with the digital asset sector.
