CRYPTO WEEK FAILED? 🏦

BREAKING: House scraps Tuesday votes on crypto bills after procedural failure

Yesterday, we said the floodgates were about to open…

Today?

Congress tripped over its own shoelaces.

The House was set to vote on the GENIUS Act (stablecoins) and the CLARITY Act (crypto market structure).

But at the last minute, the votes were scrapped - not because of crypto…

…but thanks to a procedural rebellion inside the GOP.

The House Freedom Caucus blocked the rules package required to move forward - part of a broader protest against Speaker Mike Johnson.

Crypto wasn’t the target.

But it got caught in the crossfire.

And yes - this came despite Trump publicly urging Republicans to vote yes.

He called stablecoins a strategic weapon to keep the U.S. ahead of China and Europe.

Love him or hate him - his message was clear:

Pass the bill. Now.

So where does that leave us?

The bills are delayed, not dead.

Support is still strong.

And Trump’s push may add pressure to get this done by week’s end.

In Washington, momentum rarely moves in a straight line.

But make no mistake…

Crypto Week is still very much alive.

And once the procedural dust settles?

The real vote begins.

DON’T SLEEP ON ETHEREUM 🧠

Pentoshi - the chart whisperer - just shifted focus to Ethereum.

And he’s sounding the alarm early:

If you’re not familiar with Pentoshi, he’s a technical analyst who regularly posts his charts, trades, and macro predictions on X.

So what’s he seeing?

• Public companies will soon have bought all ETH issued since the Merge 🧾
• ETH’s market cap is just 1/9th of BTC - much easier to move with less capital ⚖️
• Institutional capital is already starting to flow in 💸
• Tom Lee’s Fundstrat is quietly onboarding companies to Ethereum 🧑‍💼

The takeaway?

Put your bias aside. Forget the past.

ETH is waking up - and the signs are all around you.

• You don’t have to overthink it.

• You don’t have to time it perfectly.

Just don’t ignore what’s right in front of your eyes. 👀

This move could be massive. 🚀

THIS METRIC ONLY GOES UP? 🤯

Today we’ll be taking a look the overall stablecoin supply.

Stablecoins are the backbone of crypto liquidity, used for seamless trading and instant cross-border transactions.

The chart below tracks the aggregate change in the total stablecoin market cap.

• 🟢 Increased stablecoin supply: increased demand and capital inflows into the digital asset space 🐂

• 🔴 Contractions in stablecoin supply: net capital outflows from digital assets 🐻

Two weeks ago, the total stablecoin supply was $223.34 billion.

Today?

It’s jumped to $227.11 billion - a $3.77 billion surge in just 14 days.

But that’s not all…

Earlier this week, the stablecoin supply hit a new all-time high of $227.32 billion.

That caps a $42 billion increase since January 1st.

So why does it matter?

Because stablecoins aren’t just digital dollars. They’re liquidity on standby.

Rising supply signals fresh capital entering the system - capital that hasn’t yet been deployed.

And historically? Stablecoin expansions lead markets.

They don’t chase momentum. They spark it.
