Washington Goes PRO-CRYPTO: BTC SURGES, ETH ETFs
In today's video, Joe discusses the latest developments in bitcoin and the broader ecosystem. In the last 24 hours, the SEC has pivoted from not approving a spot Ethereum ETF to fast-tracking its approval, causing Ethereum to jump 20% and ETH/BTC to move above 0.05. He discusses how the House and Senate are now majorly pro-crypto, passing 3 separate bills in the last 10 days in support of the ecosystem. Finally, Joe wraps it all up with a look at bitcoin's bull flag breakout, signaling a bull market continuation if we can get past this brief consolidation period near $70,000.

He starts with the latest inflation data and weighs policy motivations at the Federal Reserve. After recapping inflation and very poor retail sales data, Nik goes through the candlesticks of Treasuries, stocks, and bitcoin to measure the market's reaction, which is bullish due to the promise of more liquidity and rate cuts this year. He also notes that TBL is on recession watch and Ethereum death watch.
