Thoughts on the market 1. Crypto is / continues to be tightly coupled with risk assets; if risk assets sell off generally, crypto is hit even harder 2. The US regulatory situation continues to improve. People overrated the strategic reserve news. Underrating 1) SEC dropping nearly all cases against American crypto companies 2) explicit guidance that memecoins are not securities 3) pro-crypto chairs of SEC and CFTC 4) likelihood of legislation passing for a modern framework for security vs. commodity vis a vis decentralization, stablecoins, and “tokenization” (e.g stocks). This lags prices but medium term attracts new talent (critical!). 3. Infrastructure is ahead of apps — cheap / fast blockspace, flexible wallet infrastructure, mini apps, etc. 4. What will make prices go up? a) a bunch of interest rate cuts fuel risk asset prices b) Bitcoin moons, i.e. sovereign thesis c) people build apps that attract new users and capital (vs. competing for the same pool of existing users / capital)

Yeah, I know people don't like to hear it, but crypto is still a volatile asset so it basically follows the market but with a higher beta. Not a hard and fast rule and not a "forever rule," but it's the current state (and previous state).

Any thoughts on what might change this? Seems like the inflow of institutional money will make this very hard
