📊 Yesterday’s dump didn’t shake crypto investors’ confidence — instead, stablecoin inflows to exchanges surged, with USDC deposits hitting $3.88B! 🚀

This signals that traders see the drop as a buying discount, not a reason to panic. 💪💵

🇺🇸🔥 US Treasury clarifies: Bitcoin purchases still on the table

After spooking the market with comments that wiped $55B off BTC’s cap, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent clarified they’re still exploring budget-neutral ways to grow the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve — fulfilling Trump’s vision of making the US a “Bitcoin superpower.” 💰

📝 Current plan: build the reserve from confiscated BTC (already worth $15–20B) and stop selling holdings. Extra buys may come from gold certificate revaluation or tariff revenue — but Congress approval is needed.

⏳ Critics say five months of “exploring” looks like stalling, warning other nations could front-run the US. Still, the Treasury holds 198,012 BTC ($23.5B) and isn’t dumping anytime soon.

📉 Crypto dips after US–Russia talks stall

🔻 ETH dropped harder, to $4,400 (-4.5%)
