EXTREMELY OPTIMISTIC 😃
BREAKING: Trump Still on Track to Sign Crypto Legislation by August, White House's Bo Hines Says
Despite recent setbacks, Trump’s digital asset agenda is still moving forward.
According to Bo Hines, the administration expects to get stablecoin and market structure legislation signed before Congress breaks in August.
Speaking at Consensus, Hines made it clear:
“I’m extremely optimistic. I think we’re going to deliver on the President’s wishes to get stablecoin and market structure legislation on his desk before August recess. Our colleagues are working extremely hard - making a ton of progress.”
So, who is Bo Hines?
He’s not just another talking head - he’s the President’s top digital asset advisor.
Translation: when he speaks, crypto policy insiders listen.
Hines also addressed criticism over the Trump family’s ties to crypto ventures:
"His sons have the right to engage in capital markets as private business people, like anyone else does in the U.S… I don't see any conflict in doing so. By the way, it should be exciting that they're engaging in this space. If you're a good business person, you should be looking at digital assets and saying, 'how can I get involved?' Because this is the next generation of finance."
And what about more details on U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve?
According to Hines, the working group are still hammering the details on that front.
These things unfortunately take quite a lot of time…
So why does all of this matter?
Regulatory clarity has been the final barrier keeping many institutional giants on the sidelines.
If the Trump administration delivers - we could see a wave of fresh capital flood into the crypto space.
We can’t overstate how important this is for the industry.

THE BANANA ZONE IS UPON US… 🍌
Julien Bittel is back with an update.
And if you know his work, you know what this chart means:
Updated Banana Zone Chart
The Banana Zone is once again upon us — the part of the Bitcoin cycle where things get… vertical.
Who is Julien Bittel?
He’s the Head of Macro Research at Global Macro Investor, the firm founded by Raoul Pal.
Together, they built The Everything Code — a thesis that liquidity drives all asset prices in a predictable 4-year cycle.
And right now?
That cycle says Bitcoin is entering its most explosive phase.
What’s the Banana Zone?
It’s the final stretch of every crypto cycle — where prices goes parabolic.
The banana zone has 3 distinct phases:
Correction Phase 1 (early shakeout)
Correction Phase 2 (last exit for non-believers)
Banana Zone (straight up)
Julien’s chart makes it clear:
Each cycle follows the same pattern. Right now, we’ve just moved past Correction Phase 1.
If the pattern holds?
We’re entering a stretch of “up only” price action through August — exactly what Raoul and Julien are suggesting.
You can fade the memes.
Or you can zoom out and respect the structure.
Because according to Julien?
The Banana Zone is upon us. 🍌📈
MULTI YEAR LOW 📉
Today we’ll be checking in on the amount of Ethereum available for sale on exchanges.
Here’s how to interpret this metric:
Decreasing exchange balances: Bullish indicator as it signals a shift towards long-term holding 🐂
Increasing exchange balances: Bearish indicator as coins being transferred to exchanges are more likely to be sold 🐻
According to Glassnode, just 17.1 million ETH remains on exchanges.
That’s only 14.1% of the entire circulating supply…
In the past three months exchange balances dropped 715,231 ETH (≈ $1.9 B).
The kicker: that drain came while ETH ripped 44% in seven days.
Holders aren’t cashing out, pushing exchange reserves to multi-year lows.
With supply thinning and demand rising, order books are getting lighter.
History says that mix tends to lift price. 🚀
