🧃 THE RUNDOWN

Wall Street Throws In the Towel
Jamie “Pet Rock” Dimon now wants a stablecoin desk inside JPM. It’s not love, it’s yield hunger and we’re here for it.

Congress’ Crypto Week
House passes the CLARITY Act, Anti‑CBDC Act, and the already‑Senate‑blessed GENIUS Act. Translation: CFTC gets the keys to “digital commodities,” SEC can’t carpet‑bomb everything, and fully‑backed stables get a federal fast‑lane. Regulatory winter officially over.

The $4T Flex
We just leap‑frogged the UK’s GDP. Somewhere in London, a banker just spit out his Earl Grey.

ETH Turns Into Productive Treasure
BTCS, SharpLink, Bit Digital, corporate treasurers are swapping BTC for stakable ETH. Digital gold is cool; interest‑bearing gold is cooler.

GMX & the $40M Gut Punch
One re‑entrancy exploit, forty‑plus million drained, forks frozen, TVL cliff‑dive. Audit budgets just doubled overnight.

AI & DePIN Pop on Nvidia Mojo
NVDA’s march to $4T market cap yanked TAO, RNDR, AKT, et al. higher. Revenues still humble, but the narrative’s got rocket fuel again.

Memecoin Mania
Pump.fun wants a $600 M token round after already raking in $700 M fees. Justin Sun shills another $100 M into TRUMP. Peak irony unlocked.

Macro Wildcard
50 % copper tariffs, DXY at a 21‑year low, Treasury liquidity drain looming. When fiat looks flimsy, hard money shines.

🚨 MAIN EVENT: DC Just Hit the Orange Button

For a decade, U.S. crypto policy was a carnival hammer game. This week the mallets got holstered.

1. The Bills

   • CLARITY Act: Draws a bright jurisdictional line — goodbye, regulatory purgatory.

   • GENIUS Act: One‑to‑one‑backed stables, national charter option, algo‑stable ban.

   • Anti‑CBDC Act: Fed told to take its surveillance coin and shove it.

2. The Signal
   The House lopsided vote ➜ bipartisan cover ➜ lobbyists pop corks. Markets didn’t moon on the headline — they mooned on the implication: the political cost of crushing crypto just flipped negative.

3. The Aftershock
   Leak: Trump team drafting an EO to green‑light 401(k) crypto allocations. That’s a $9 T firehose pointed at an asset class that just cracked $4 T. Even a 1 % carve‑out = $90 B in fresh demand.

4. The Capitulation
   Jamie Dimon, Larry Fink, and a parade of CFOs now framing BTC/ETH as “strategic reserves.” Public companies already control >10 % of circulating BTC. The next leg comes from retirement plans, insurers, and state pensions forced to chase performance.

Structural read‑through: supply shock + policy clarity + institutional FOMO. Until profit‑taking smacks us around $130‑140 K, dip‑buyers own the tape.

🔍 DEEPER CUTS

• Security ≠ Optional: GMX exploit reminds us composability is a double‑edged sword. If your favorite farm hasn’t had a post‑merge audit, maybe don’t “max leverage.”

• Tokenization Reality Check: Robinhood’s pseudo‑stock tokens stirred regulators. If there’s no legal claim on equity, you bought a synthetic — act accordingly.

• AI‑on‑chain: Modelz.io and MantleX want to decentralize model hosting. GPUs scarce, data valuable; watch for AI fees flowing like MEV.

PARTING SHOTS

The U.S. just flipped the lights to green, Wall Street tossed the pet‑rock jokes, and alts are responding like it’s 2017 with better UX. Sure, we’ll get rug‑pulls and volatility spikes, but the structural bid is real. Policy clarity = oxygen; capital’s already inhaling.

Stay sharp, stay slightly suspicious — and maybe call HR about that 401(k) lineup.
