Legal Battles in Predictive Tech and Crypto

We’re celebrating "Crypto Week" as declared by Trump amid the introduction of key regulatory bills.

But perhaps more importantly, Bitcoin's new all-time high, Ethereum's rising institutional interest, and Tom Lee's goal of acquiring 5% of ETH supply.

Highlights include Base's new "everything app," the trend of Bitcoin miners viewing ETH as a treasury asset, and updates on macroeconomic factors and the Roman Storm trial. This is the hottest news in crypto.
