Bitcoin’s taken a breather at $84,000, down 2% today after profit-takers cashed in on the post-FOMC rally—CoinGecko’s got the numbers. Ethereum’s not far behind, slipping 1% to $1,965, while Solana’s nursing a 3% dip at $126. Still, the ETF game’s alive—BTC ETFs pulled in $166 million, but ETH ETFs bled $13 million, says the data. Sentiment’s jittery too—the Fear & Greed Index is back in “Fear” territory, and Trump’s big talk on capital gains tax relief? Didn’t land, per the whispers.

He’s still banging the drum, though—US will “dominate crypto and fintech,” he says. SEC’s playing nice for once: crypto mining’s not breaking laws, and their task force is hosting a roundtable today. NYSE’s filed to let Bitwise’s ETH ETF stake—juicy. Eric Trump’s jumped to Metaplanet as a strategic advisor, TON’s bagged a $400 million token sale, and Australia’s sketching out crypto regs. ECB’s pushing its digital Euro CBDC, and stablecoin TVL’s hit $230 billion. Moonpay’s got a $200 million RCF from Galaxy, and Trump wants USAID on blockchain. Busy day, fam.

Macro Trad-Fi

Step back, and the macro’s a mixed bag. NASDAQ’s flat at 17,700, gold’s steady at $3,039—calm before the storm? S&P 500 just logged its 7th fastest correction ever, with its ratio to Treasuries at a 6-month low. US stock dominance? Lowest in a year—flash crashes are getting too cozy. CEO confidence is tanking, down to a 13-year low, while Trump’s signed an EO to gut the Dept. of Education.

NATO’s nudging Europe and Canada to beef up military, and a judge just barred DOGE from social security data—random but real. Trump’s denying Elon briefed him on China war plans, copper’s nearing all-time highs, and Japan’s inflation slowed less than expected. China’s deflation’s at -0.7%, UK borrowing’s overshot, Russia’s stacking gold to a record, Connor McGregor’s running for Ireland’s president, and Turkey’s hiked rates to 46% to prop the Lira. Oh, and they found a massive tunnel complex under the Giza pyramids—history’s wild today.

Left Curve Corner

Time to dive into the degen deep end. Hot coins? IVANKA, BUBB, ORCA, and TAT are lighting up. Pudgy Penguins NFTs are up 5-10% after Canary filed an S1 for a PENGU ETF—NFTs in suits, huh. PumpFun’s dropped PumpSwap DEX, and Tron’s teamed up with them for another DEX play. BUBB’s at $35 million, tied to Binance’s co-founder, while ORCA’s hit $385 million with an Upbit listing. LG’s killing its NFT Marketplace Art Lab—ouch. Polymarket’s bragging 90% accuracy on world events, and Cronje’s hinting he’s cracked algorithmic stablecoins. Top gainers today—XDC, IP, TRX, LTC, and AAVE—are keeping the degens grinning. It’s a zoo out there, and the keepers are cashing in.
