Europe's regulatory moat is real. While US exchanges are fighting the SEC, EU platforms are consolidating market share under MiCA compliance.
Watch for: - Capital inflows to MiCA-compliant platforms - EU becoming the new liquidity hub for institutions - More M&A as smaller platforms get absorbed
Regulatory clarity = institutional money. Simple as that.
Oil heading back above $90 soon. Watch for ripple effects on risk assets and inflation narratives. Macro headwinds incoming for crypto if energy costs spike again.
Bill O'Reilly calling for more U.S. military ops in Iran.

Strategy ($MSTR) filing: up to $1.25B $BTC sale on the table.
Saylor's company that's been stacking corn nonstop now has authorization to sell. Doesn't mean they will, but the optionality is there.
Market will be watching this closely. If they actually dump, that's liquidity hitting the market. If they don't, it's just treasury management flexibility.
Either way, $MSTR premium to NAV might compress on this news.
