CRYPTO WEEK IS BACK ON 🏦

BREAKING: Crypto bills move forward after nine-hour stalemate on House floor

Yesterday, Congress tripped over its shoelaces.

Today, they tied them back up - and got moving again.

After the House’s surprise procedural failure on Tuesday, lawmakers spent nearly nine straight hours locked in negotiations.

The holdouts?

A handful of Republicans demanding a ban on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) before allowing anything else to move forward.

So GOP leaders made a deal:

The CBDC ban will be folded into the must-pass national defense bill (NDAA) - sidestepping the crypto legislation entirely.

And that cleared the way…

Late Wednesday night, the House officially advanced to final votes on both the GENIUS Act (stablecoins) and CLARITY Act (market structure).

The GENIUS Act could hit the floor today.

If passed, it goes straight to Trump’s desk - where he’s already said he’ll sign it.

The CLARITY Act may follow by week’s end.

It wasn’t pretty.

It wasn’t quick.

But Crypto Week is officially alive again.

And the most important U.S. crypto laws ever written?

They’re now just one vote away.

ETHEREUM IS SCREAMING BULLISH 🐂

Julien Bittel just posted a monster ETH chart.

And it’s not whispering.

It’s screaming:

A big move is coming.

This is the second day in a row we’re covering Ethereum - but for good reason.

Yesterday, Pentoshi highlighted a surge of capital flowing into Ethereum.

Today, Julien Bittel’s chart confirms it technically.

Julien is the Head of Macro Research at Global Macro Investor, where he works closely with Raoul Pal on cycle models and long-term macro theses.

When he posts, we listen.

What are we looking at?

A multi-year wedge - a classic chart pattern that builds pressure over time…

And when it breaks?

It breaks hard - usually to the upside. 📈

Why people are getting bullish ETH right now:

• Public companies are scooping up ETH faster than it’s being created 🏦
• The ETH market cap is just 1/9th of Bitcoin - it doesn’t take much to move it 🚀
• Big names like @Fundstrat (Tom Lee) are onboarding institutions quietly 🏢
• Ethereum is ground zero for the coming $2.5T tokenization wave 🌊
• The technicals are coiled for a major breakout 🔥

The setup is forming.

Eyes open.

Because when this wedge breaks…

You’ll want to be on the right side of it. 👀

ROCKET FUEL 🚀

While we’re on the topic of Ethereum, let’s take at look at it’s supply side dynamics.

Today we’ll be focusing on the amount of Ethereum currently being staked.

Quick Note: Ethereum staking involves locking up ETH to support the blockchain’s security. In return, users earn rewards for staking.

If you’d like to learn more about staking, check out this article.

Staked ETH just won’t stop climbing.

As of today, 65,053,559 ETH is locked up - a +981,097 ETH jump in just two weeks.

That’s right… another all-time high.

But here’s the real takeaway:

53.77% of all ETH is now staked.

That’s over half the entire supply taken off the market - locked away by long-term holders with no plans to sell.

This isn’t just a stat.

It’s pure rocket fuel. 🚀
