Ah, our dear friend Sacks has taken his leave from the grand stage of the White House, but fret not! He’s merely exchanging his czarist crown for the more understated, yet equally impactful, title of advisor. According to Bloomberg, this parting follows the sacred edicts regarding special government employees-because who could ever imagine a world without bureaucratic regulations? Thus, we find that this is less a departure and more of a theatrical shift in scenery.

Once fear’s standard‑issue was a vague sense of “maybe,” now it’s an actionable alarm: will the crypto crash deepen if macro pressure earns another swift jab?

In a press release that probably cost more than my last dinner, they announced they’re backing six lawmakers from both parties. Because nothing says “we care” like picking sides in a fight that nobody really wants to watch-like a bad reality show. They think that crypto issues are gonna sway votes in some competitive House races. Good luck with that!

The annals of the market reveal a grim pattern: the deeper the drawdown, the longer the recovery. Each additional 10% decline, like a thief in the night, steals another 80 days from our lives. This pattern, a recurring motif in the tragedy of Bitcoin, has played out across its cycles, a relentless reminder of our mortality in the face of volatility.

This isn’t just any expiry; it’s the financial version of “Blazing Saddles” meets “The Producers.” Nearly 40% of total options open interest is about to vanish faster than a banana peel in a vaudeville act. Both BTC and ETH are trading below their max pain levels, setting the stage for price action so volatile, it’ll make the Spanish Inquisition look like a tea party.

The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), that bastion of bureaucratic inertia, has concluded its review of the DOL’s proposal, paving the way for the proletariat to throw their retirement savings into the gaping maw of Bitcoin and its ilk. Gone is the 2022 guidance that once warned fiduciaries against such madness, a relic of a time when prudence still held sway. In its place stands a new decree, born of the Biden-era executive order, which, in its quest to assess the risks and benefits of digital assets, has instead unleashed a torrent of financial recklessness.

“We’ve accomplished a lot in the first year, but the President wants to keep the pedal to the metal on everything tech. That’s exactly what we will do,” said Sacks, presumably while riding off into the sunset on a blockchain unicorn.

For months, cryptocurrency companies have been combining chatbots with information about the market and digital wallets. These systems could usually explain trades, identify patterns, or offer investment ideas, but they couldn’t actually make transactions on the blockchain. Now, Trust Wallet is aiming to change that with a new set of tools designed for completing real crypto transactions. Their latest update allows developers to create programs that go beyond just discussing cryptocurrency and actually *do* things with it.

Mixin, a privacy-first platform for digital asset transactions, has announced a major expansion of its gas fee subsidy program, further reducing costs for users moving assets across multiple blockchains.

As a researcher following the situation, I observed a brief moment of optimism when President Trump extended the deadline for Iran to agree to a ceasefire by ten days, and initially, talks seemed to be progressing well. This led to a slight dip in Brent crude prices, down 1.3% to $106 a barrel. However, that positive momentum quickly disappeared when the Wall Street Journal reported that the Pentagon was considering sending up to 10,000 more troops to the Middle East – any hope for de-escalation was immediately lost.
