Macro and policy
U.S. equities closed stronger, with the Dow up 0.77%, the Nasdaq rising 0.98%, and the S&P gaining 0.83%. Treasury yields pulled back, with the 10-year dropping 1.33% to 4.16%, while the dollar index inched up to 98.17. Gold remained steady at $3,555.30.
The Federal Reserve faced renewed scrutiny, with politically driven investigations into board members raising questions about its independence. This tension has added fuel to gold’s strength as investors seek safety.
Meanwhile, the SEC unveiled an ambitious agenda that includes new rules for crypto issuance and sales, potential exemptions and safe harbors, and a framework that could allow digital assets to trade on national exchanges.
The regulator also hinted at reducing Wall Street’s disclosure burdens. Notably, the SEC has withdrawn lawsuits against major exchanges, signaling a shift in tone.
Regulatory spotlight
NASDAQ has tightened scrutiny on companies holding large crypto reserves. Firms are now required to seek shareholder approval before issuing new shares to purchase tokens, with noncompliance risking delisting or suspended trading.
Stablecoin milestones and WLFI mayhem

Backed by USD and short-term Treasuries with a 2% reserve buffer, its interest income will go toward the state’s education fund.
In a dramatic turn, World Liberty Financial, supported by the Trump family, blacklisted Justin Sun’s wallet after he transferred $9M in WLFI tokens.
The move froze 545M unlocked tokens and 2.4B locked tokens. WLFI prices had already begun sliding hours before the transfer.

Singapore-based BlockSpaceForce and Mainnet Capital have launched a $100M hedge fund focused on digital asset treasury companies (DATs) and related crypto firms.
