By Omkar Godbole (All times ET unless indicated otherwise) As bitcoin (BTC) and the wider crypto market await the Fed's rate decision on Wednesday, an anomaly has emerged that could weigh heavily on market mood: renewed doubt over the passing of U.S. crypto regulation. Early Tuesday, CoinDesk reported that Senate Democrats are hesitant to push forward landmark stablecoin legislation, citing concerns over President Donald Trump's growing personal gains from his crypto ventures. When Trump took office, many observers felt crypto regulation would proceed smoothly. Looking back, that optimism was probably misplaced. With the president actively involved in digital assets through family-linked projects like WLFI and memecoins, opposition has mounted, potentially slowing the regulatory progress. That might lead investors to reprice regulatory uncertainty just as charts for BTC and XRP are signaling pullback risks. Additionally, according to CryptoQuant, there are signs of renewed weakness in bitcoin demand from U.S.-based investors. "Over the past month, the premium recovered significantly but is now dropping again — aligning with the recent BTC price correction," CryptoQuant contributor AbramChart said. On the positive side, U.S.-listed spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) marked three straight days of net inflows. Acting CFTC Chairman Caroline Pham told crypto journalist Eleanor Terret that the derivatives market regulator plans to observe a handful of tokenization pilot programs to evaluate the technology and see how well tokenized assets function in the real world . Speaking of traditional markets and macro, Taiwan dollar forward contracts signal extreme pressure on the U.S. dollar, meaning the greenback could continue to weaken against the Asian currency and probably major currencies like the euro. The broad-based USD weakness may act as a tailwind for crypto. FX market volatility could drive investors to gold and perhaps bitcoin, too, unless it leads to a broad-based risk-off, in which case BTC may feel the heat. The other bullish development is the U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's comments that U.S. rates now carry sovereign credit risk and not just long-term growth and inflation expectations. In other words, rates are artificially high because the U.S. government itself is now the risk premium, as pseudonymous observer EndGame Macro said. So, a shift away from U.S. assets and into alternative investments could continue. Stay alert!

Hyperliquid's HYPE token surged 72% over the past week, outpacing most of the top 100 tokens. The platform's gas-free, order book-based, decentralized exchange model is attracting traders seeking efficient and transparent trading environments. AAVE has seen increased activity with the integration of Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin into its V3 Ethereum Core Market. The move aims to bridge traditional finance with DeFi, enhancing AAVE's appeal to institutional investors. Despite a recent security breach on Curve Finance's X account, CRV managed to post a 40% gain in the past week, demonstrating investor confidence in the underlying protocol. Kay Lu, CEO of HashKey Eco Labs, said in a note to CoinDesk that traders are turning to projects with stronger fundamentals and token economics as memecoins fall out of favor. Derivatives Positioning XMR, TAO, ADA lead majors in 24-hour growth of perpetual futures open interest. XRP, meanwhile, has the most negative 24-hour cumulative volume delta, hinting at an influx of selling pressure. BTC's funding rate is barely positive, while ETH has flipped marginally negative, both pointing to weakening of bull momentum. CME futures basis climbed to between 5% and 10%, reviving interest in cash-and-carry arbitrage trades, according to Binance Research.

.@momack28 from @protocollabs explains why compute is the next phase for Filecoin: data is too large to move efficiently. To make decentralized infrastructure usable at scale, the network must evolve to bring services to the data, wherever it’s stored and replicated.

"Filecoin Narrative Cocoon, Story Middle Way Collapses, Where Does the Data Chain Go?" 》 —— The @irys_xyz of Datachain deconstructed in the vernacular introduction The lag of infrastructure construction behind technological innovation is a difficult problem that cannot be avoided in the evolution of human civilization, and the infrastructure of the old technology system cannot carry the demand for innovative technology. The Internet has broken through the limitations of dial-up connections, streaming media has replaced traditional cable TV, cloud computing has disrupted the design, distribution and use of software, and new infrastructure has unleashed the full potential of technological innovation. The same thing will happen in the data layer of Web3. Encrypted data is an asset class with huge potential value, but current data layer protocols such as @Filecoin / @ArweaveEco / @StoryProtocol face an impossible triangle: programmability, verifiability, and high cost efficiency. @irys_xyz a feasible solution to break through the impossible triangle is given. <解构 @irys_xyz=""> The core positioning of @irys_xyz is to focus on data storage and unlock the value of data (Datachain), and it is also a sovereign Layer 1 with independent consensus. Deconstructing the Irys Technology Architecture in the Vernacular: Irys = uPoW & staking Hybrid Consensus + IrysVM + Efficient Sampling <Irys vs.="" filecoin=""> Question 1: One of the problems of @Filecoin is that miners are allowed to commit to unlimited capacity data storage, which leads to excessive resource expansion and profit compression under vicious competition among miners, which affects the stability of the system. @irys_xyz proposed uPoW & staking hybrid consensus mechanism can balance the supply of data storage and the incentive of miners to a certain extent. uPoW requires miners to verify the data partitions they maintain by generating cryptographic storage proofs, generate blocks, and receive corresponding rewards; Under the staking mechanism, miners need to stake a certain amount of $IRYS tokens as collateral, and if they are unable to perform their data storage duties, their staked assets will be slashed; In short, @irys_xyz reduces the possibility of vicious competition and subjective evil of miners by introducing economic punishment constraints. Question 2: The second problem with Filecoin is that it doesn't have data programmability. FVM VMs don't have native access to stored data to work with data to unlock the value of it. @irys_xyz Implementing programmable data on top of IrysVM for on-chain computing capabilities and data layer integration means that smart contracts can query, retrieve, and modify stored data in real-time, unlocking more use cases. Such as enforcing ownership, automating royalty payments, managing access, efficiently validating any predefined instructions in smart contracts. <Irys vs.="" story=""> Question 3: @StoryProtocol does not store the full IP assets on-chain, only metadata. Story only stores metadata and not the asset itself, which is often stored in IPFS, which introduces trust risk. @irys_xyz Storing assets intact on-chain eliminates trust risk for third parties. Based on an efficient sampling mechanism, @irys_xyz ensures that the data is verifiable, greatly optimizing the validation process, and the data is always trusted and accessible, all without sacrificing performance. By deconstructing Irys, one conclusion can be drawn that the technical architecture of Irys can fill in with the shortcomings of existing data storage protocols and make the Datachain narrative still sexy. <写在最后> AWS unlocks hundreds of billions of dollars in business, with database, data storage, and compute at its core unifying into a single system to work together; From this perspective, @irys_xyz is like the web3 version of AWS, based on its Datachain architecture, transforming data into a verifiable, composable, and monetizable resource, unlocking the huge potential value behind data. </写在最后></Irys></Irys></解构>
