The SEC's potential crypto safe harbor rules, expected this month, are a long-awaited signal for startups. If concrete, this could ease fundraising pressures and reduce regulatory uncertainty for projects. It’s a positive step, though the devil’s in the details. Meanwhile, tokenized equities are booming, with SPCX leading the charge after its IPO. This highlights demand for on-chain asset representation, a trend we're watching closely. StarkWare's CEO floating a 4% annual Bitcoin inflation just sounds like a bad meme coin pitch – ignore it.

Today shows sideways action across the board. Stick to the range playbook and manage risk tight. The FOMC minutes later could be a volatility trigger. Check out our algorithms for structured trading.
