🇺🇸 Arizona & Oregon Push Crypto Forward
Arizona's governor has signed HB 2749, establishing a state crypto reserve — the second in the U.S. after New Hampshire. While the law doesn’t allow investment, it permits holding confiscated assets, airdrops, and staking rewards in reserve. 🪙
Meanwhile, Oregon’s SB 167 updates its Uniform Commercial Code, giving legal clarity to digital assets — including their recognition as collateral.
Two more states laying legal foundations for crypto adoption.📜✅

📽 Netflix is diving into crypto drama with a series based on the 2022 FTX collapse.
Julia Garner (known for Ozark and Inventing Anna) is reportedly close to playing Caroline Ellison, while Evan Peters (DAHMER) is in talks to play Sam Bankman-Fried. 👀
🖋 The script may be penned by Oscar-winner Graham Moore, with rumors of a love story as the narrative frame.
📉 One of crypto’s biggest scandals could soon hit your screen — if it escapes “development hell.”

According to CryptoQuant, Ethereum is now extremely undervalued relative to Bitcoin — a level not seen since 2019.

🇺🇸 Trump Goes Off on Powell (Again)
Donald Trump called Jerome Powell a "FOOL who doesn’t have a clue", blaming the Fed chair for always being late with decisions 😱
...But added he still "likes him very much" 🤷♂️
Trump also bragged about:
🔻 Falling energy prices
🥚 Cheaper groceries
📉 "No inflation"
💰 Tariff revenues “pouring in”
Classic Trump mix of insult and backhanded compliment.

📈 Bitcoin Breaks $100K, Triggers Major Short Liquidations

🥷 Hack the Hackers: LockBit Ransomware Group Breached
Nearly 60,000 Bitcoin addresses, internal chats with victims, and admin passwords from the infamous LockBit ransomware gang have been leaked online — but no private keys were exposed.

🐂 CryptoQuant CEO Admits Mistake on BTC Cycle
Two months ago, CryptoQuant CEO claimed the bull cycle was over — now he admits he was wrong. 🤷
According to him, selling pressure is fading, and ETF inflows are strengthening the market. The behavior of Bitcoin whales is also changing: they no longer sell aggressively at peaks, making the market dynamics more complex than in previous cycles. 🤔

📊 CryptoQuant: Whale FOMO is real
The absolute gap between the realized price of BTC for new whales ($91,900) and old whales ($32,200) has hit $59,700 — that's a relative spread of 185% 🤯
In simple terms: new whales are entering at prices 185% higher than the old guard.
Analysts see this growing spread as a strong signal of market confidence and rising FOMO.
For context: back in November 2022, the spread was just 62%.
