Spot ETFs bled a record month while Strategy pivoted from buyer to seller and CLARITY stalled at 50% — the rate-path now has to do what the bid won't.
Tokenized T-bill funds are regulated as securities. Most stablecoins are not. Here is how U.S. and EU frameworks draw that line, and why BlackRock's BUIDL looks nothing like USDC.
DTCC, BlackRock, and JPMorgan lit up the timeline, but BTC was busy repricing a war in the Gulf.
