Overnight, $BTC fell below 83,000. Don’t rush to blame the market makers—the fault really isn’t with crypto. An oil tanker hit a mine in the Strait of Hormuz, Brent crude surged to $102, U.S. Treasury yields hit their highest level since 2002, and risk assets took a beating across the board. Trump says oil prices will fall if the U.S. doesn’t strike Iran before the midterms, but the Pentagon has already drawn up plans for three days of strikes. The danger hasn’t passed yet.
The macro picture is even more worrying: Waller and Musalem have both struck hawkish notes, and we may see more rate hikes over the next 6–9 months. Rate-cut expectations have taken a brutal hit, so high-beta assets like ETH and SOL may have a rough time in the short term.
But amid all the noise, the main narrative is clear: RWA is accelerating. Samsung is bringing USDC on Solana to 82 million users, Securitize has opened tokenized stocks to global investors, and Ondo has even brought pre-IPO exposure to OpenAI on-chain. This is clearly more than just talk.
The most aggressive project-level move comes from $APT : staking yields cut in half, gas fees raised tenfold, 210 million tokens permanently locked, and annual unlocks reduced by 60%—all clear moves toward a deflationary model. I have more respect for reforms that take a hard line against the project itself. PYTH is also putting 100% of its revenue toward buybacks, tripling the pace.
The broader market is at the mercy of geopolitics, while the RWA narrative is keeping things afloat. Asian trading is likely to be choppy and frustrating today. Keep your hands steady and save some powder.
