Actually the policy he's proposing in the article is okay. It's targeting people with high incomes.

Headline misleading, it's just spin. He means it should have a phase out for well-off people. Which is a good idea if you're the government and just sending people checks.

Could have just as easily titled it "Josh Hawley wants to give away money to all Americans earning under $75k, calls Biden voters 'wealthy'."

This is really badly written, and that particularly annoys me because the subject matter is actually important.

Do you have any info or links about that?

One benefit to payment processing for crypto is that there's little in the way of material limitations on processing payments. The blockchain for a given coin already exists, your job as a processor is primarily to convert those on-chain transactions into and out of other currencies. Only requiring intervention at the point of entering or exiting dollars to and from the system changes a lot of the dynamics.
