The first thing I saw this morning wasn’t BTC—it was the 10Y US Treasury yield: 5.04%, the highest since 2007. When the risk-free rate jumps, AI growth stocks and crypto get pinned down together. The night before tonight’s rate decision, positioning matters more than opinions.

Today’s AI space feels sharply divided: Apple officially handed over its Siri AI (customized together with Gemini); Nvidia fell 3.5% in a single day, while a short “slow down AI” essay by Ray Dalio somehow fed Google and Meta instead. The market has started pricing in the laggards—this rotation is worth watching.

Two things to note on-chain:
1) Circle’s Arc mainnet went live—USDC is used as native gas; on day one, almost the entire ecosystem is Launchpad-based, with a strong Blast vibe;
2) A Gnosis Safe module was pulled worth $7.73 million—inside multicall, the _contract passes address(this) to bypass the permission checks directly. With modular self-custody, the boundary is yours to monitor.

CLARITY has slid to 14% via probability; the stablecoin narrative window is narrowing. The dip in the storage sector looks like it’s being confirmed—watch it for now; don’t chase.
