US Gov moving $297M in seized Bitcoin and Ether to Coinbase Prime is a sizable trickle of supply. Strive and MicroStrategy continue hoarding BTC, adding 18 and raising cash respectively, keeping supply tight for now. New Hampshire signing 'Blockchain Basic Laws' signals ongoing, albeit slow, regulatory clarity across US states.
Bolivia considering Tether for national payments is interesting. While a small market, it points to stablecoin utility expanding beyond speculative trading. Meanwhile, Mizuho's note on USDC growth and competition highlights the **increasingly crowded stablecoin wars** among Circle, Tether, and others.
Today's CPI and Fed testimony are the real volatility triggers. Our internal Pulse shows strong long bias, and we're holding profitable shorts. Stick to momentum, ride the flow, and protect your sides. Explore Radiant algorithms.
