Tim Warren breaks down Bitcoin’s technical setup after a rough Thursday and whether the low is in. We cover the midterm gridlock trade, China’s bear market, Solana’s upgrade, Chainlink vs Avalanche, and the catalysts ahead for altcoins like HYPE and CRCL.
Solana’s Alpenglow upgrade went live today, targeting finality in about 150 milliseconds instead of roughly 13 seconds. China isn’t trying to build the best chips or the best AI, it’s winning with products that are cheap and good enough, and Solana runs the same playbook in crypto. We break down Alpenglow, the chip dip, BYD, China’s crypto thaw, and why both look like buys.
SpaceX just posted its first profit as a public company, and Musk says Tesla and SpaceX formed special committees to discuss a merger. We break down what that could mean for crypto and tokenized stocks, and where Hyperliquid and xStocks fit in. We also cover the OCC’s final GENIUS Act rule on stablecoin rewards and why banks aren’t happy.
The SEC’s comment period on Regulation Crypto Assets closed today. Sentora’s Jesus Rodriguez breaks down what the rule could mean for builders, tokenized stocks, and DeFi yield. We also dig into xStocks vaults, Solana, and which tokens could win next.
