The biggest opportunities in crypto may be emerging just as prices eye a bottom and investors are questioning old assumptions about markets, regulation, and where value will accrue next.

This week, we explore whether recent market strength signals a meaningful shift for crypto or simply another chapter in an increasingly complex macro environment.

We also discuss record M&A activity, SEC market structure reforms, accredited investor rules, DeFi security risks, and the evolution of crypto ETFs. Enjoy!
