Good Morning. All eyes are on the Fed rate decision today and comments from J Pow. Investors expect to keep interest rates on hold, and pencil in one or two cuts for this year.

This is it – the moment we’ve been waiting for. The SEC will drop its appeal – a resounding victory for Ripple, for crypto, every way you look at it.
The future is bright. Let’s build.

4. Perpetual Strife
Michael Saylor’s Strategy $MSTR ( ▲ 5.61% ) wants to add to its 500k BTC holdings but this time through a new, fancy, offering. Here’s how it works: Strategy will offer 5 million shares of preferred stock with no end date that pays a 10% dividend. Where might a company that pledges to never sell it’s BTC, and that has less than $40 million in cash on its balance sheet get the money to pay said dividend? Well that’s a good question…

Strategy today announced the launch of $STRF (“Strife”), a new perpetual preferred stock offering, available to institutional investors and select non-institutional investors. For more information, click here. $MSTR
85% increased allocations to digital assets in 2024.
59% plan to allocate 5%+ of their assets under management (AUM) to cryptocurrencies in 2025
73% currently hold one or more altcoins beyond BTC and ETH
For years people have shouted that “the institutions are coming” Well, they are here… and growing.
2. Where are we in the Bitcoin cycle, and what's next?
CoinMetrics’ MVRV ratio (market value vs. realized value) for Bitcoin sits at 1.9, down from its recent 2.65 peak – neither in bargain-basement territory (ratio ~1) nor overheated (>3.5). This suggests we’re somewhere in the mid-cycle zone. The good news? Speculative activity has cooled. This “mid-cycle” reset could set the stage for another growth cycle under a more supportive administration with real, structural catalysts.
1. Bo Hines for the win
Bo Hines, the low profile executive director of the president's council of advisers on digital assets, spoke at Blockworks’ Digital Asset Summit yesterday and came out swinging. For starters, he said the stablecoin legislation via GENIUS Act is expected to be finalized in the coming months, emphasizing that it would turbo-charge the U.S. dollar. He then doubled down on the council’s “respect” for bitcoin and it’s uniqueness, and explained why the group wants to acquire more. See clip below.
