Bitcoin smashed past $80K after the Fed rate hike, defying the hawkish signal with a 5%+ rally and liquidating over $470M in shorts 🚀 Meanwhile AR led the spot gainers with a 51% surge on AI storage demand, and SOL climbed 5.6% on strong ETF launch volume. What is interesting is that altcoin leverage levels remain below risk thresholds according to Glassnode, suggesting the rally still has room before it gets overheated. The regulatory backdrop is shifting too — the CFTC submitted standalone crypto rules to the White House right after the CLARITY Act stalled in the Senate 🏛️ With tokenized stocks now live on Binance and NYSE testing Avalanche for its own securities platform, the TradFi-crypto bridge is getting real.
