1. Trump vows to make U.S. the global leader in crypto

In a major policy shift, former President Donald Trump declared in a keynote at the Blockworks Digital Assets Summit that the U.S. will become the "undisputed Bitcoin superpower." He called for:

• Clear legislation for stablecoins
• Creation of a national strategic Bitcoin reserve
• A government-hosted Digital Asset Summit
• The end of "Operation Chokepoint 2.0"

The speech was widely praised by industry leaders and signaled potential regulatory clarity and innovation under a future Trump administration.

2. SEC task force holds first public roundtable

Just days after dropping its appeal against Ripple Labs, the SEC held its first crypto-specific roundtable. Led by Commissioner Hester Peirce, the session addressed how digital assets fit within the existing securities framework.
This comes amid bipartisan political pressure to draft friendlier digital asset legislation, and the event marked a step toward a more open regulatory approach.

3. Market movers & price Action

Today’s trading shows minor corrections, though momentum remains constructive:

• Bitcoin (BTC) $86,477.01 ↓ 0.51%
• Ethereum (ETH) $2,055.52 ↓ 0.63%
• XRP $2.42 ↓ 0.95%
• Solana (SOL) $139.44 ↓ 0.39%
• Cardano (ADA) $0.7362 ↓ 1.79%

Despite red candles across the board, Bitcoin's hold above $86K signals relative strength. Altcoins remain sensitive to broader macro narratives.

4. MicroStrategy surpasses 500K BTC ater $584M Buy

MicroStrategy has now accumulated over 508,021 BTC after acquiring 6,911 new coins for $584.1 million. This brings its holdings to more than $44 billion in market value.
The announcement boosted MSTR stock nearly 7% yesterday. CEO Michael Saylor reaffirmed his bullish thesis, calling Bitcoin “economic energy in digital form.”

5. Institutional inflows signal renewed confidence

CoinShares data shows digital asset funds attracted $644M in inflows last week:

• Bitcoin: +$724M
• Ethereum: -$86M
• Multi-asset and altcoin funds: mixed flows

This marked a strong reversal from five straight weeks of outflows, driven by renewed political support and optimism around the U.S. regulatory outlook.
