Bitcoin has been coasting between price zones for days now, leaving traders staring at charts with vacant expressions.
What happened to the volatility we all claim to hate but secretly miss?
This strange period of relative stability has crypto Twitter unusually quiet.
Is this what crypto becomes when it finally “makes it”? Just another boring asset class that moves at the speed of traditional finance?
Let’s make sense of it all! Here is a quick rundown of the top headlines from the past 24 hours:
- Bitwise’s European research head predicts Bitcoin will match gold’s market cap by 2029, pushing BTC to $1 million. But what is convincing these analysts this time around?
- Brown University just dropped $5M on BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF. But why didn’t they buy Bitcoins directly?
- Michael Saylor is buying more Bitcoin – for the fourth straight week, with plans to raise another $21B for purchases. Wouldn’t it just end up creating monopoly?
- Major players like BlackRock and Libre are moving billions into tokenization this week alone. Which blockchains will dominate the tokenization boom?
- BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes thinks the “Bitcoin bro” image might prevent US government Bitcoin purchases. Are “crypto bros” costing Bitcoin its biggest potential buyer?
- Trump’s plan to reward TRUMP memecoin whales with a White House dinner is raising eyebrows – even among Republicans. What’s the problem really?

Saylor Outbuys Bitcoin Miners
Michael Saylor is about to buy even more Bitcoin – for the fourth straight week.
Strategy added 15,355 BTC worth $1.4 billion just last week, bringing their holdings to a staggering 553,555 Bitcoin with unrealized gains of $15 billion.
The company has already acquired 61,497 BTC in 2025 alone and plans to raise another $21 billion specifically for more purchases.

Billions Flow Into Tokenization
This week alone: BlackRock filed to tokenize shares of its $150 billion Treasury fund, Libre announced $500 million in tokenized Telegram debt, and MultiBank signed a massive $3 billion real estate tokenization deal.
These aren’t small experiments – they’re major financial assets moving onto blockchain rails with serious institutional backing.
Industry experts now project between 5-30% of global financial assets could be tokenized by 2030.

Bitcoin Bros Maybe Blocking Government Buying
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes thinks the “Bitcoin bro” image might prevent US government Bitcoin purchases.
Despite Trump’s executive order for a strategic reserve, Hayes believes the government won’t go beyond the 200,000 Bitcoin it already seized from criminal cases.
His reasoning? No elected politician would advocate printing money to buy Bitcoin when “the popular narrative is a bunch of Bitcoin bros going to the club.”

Trump’s Memecoin Dinner Backfires
Trump’s plan to reward TRUMP memecoin whales with a White House dinner is raising eyebrows – even among Republicans.
