Pensions banned: USDT goes back home; Big Pie listens to the news sideways over the weekend
🔻 Regulation and the industry
Trump signed an executive order today banning U.S. pensions and 401(k) plans from adding cryptocurrencies, gold, and overseas assets. A major inflow pipeline for big institutions has been cut—near-term sentiment faces pressure. On the other hand, Tether announced that USDT has officially returned to the Bitcoin network (Omni layer). It’s the biggest stablecoin re-launch point, and on-chain settlement moves back to the most original layer.
🔻 Market conditions
On the weekend, trading volume shrank. Big Pie is stuck in a narrow range of 84k–85k, grinding sideways, with volume cut in half. With Korea on holiday, there’s less Asian buying. U.S. 10Y yields at 5.28% had no weekend trading, but sentiment is still weighing on the market. CZ tweeted implying “patience,” and the community interprets it as “don’t move.”
🔻 My take
The pension ban is bearish, but it isn’t new news (we discussed it earlier). The market can digest it. Tether returning to Bitcoin is actually a long-term signal—stablecoin settlement moving back toward the main network is a plus for the BTC ecosystem. Sideways consolidation on low volume over the weekend is normal. If it doesn’t break below 82.5k, hold on and wait for Monday’s U.S. stock open + next week’s CPI.
Pensions are banned—are you panicking, or treating it as “bad news already priced in”? 👇
