Hey Crypto Addicts,

The CLARITY Act cleared the Senate Banking Committee in a 15-9 bipartisan vote on Thursday. Bitcoin hit $82,000. The internet lost its mind. And then Santiment walked in and said "actually, pump the brakes."

Santiment flagged a major spike in Bitcoin euphoria across social media, recording 1.55 bullish comments for every 1 bearish comment across X, Reddit and Telegram.

Their warning was direct: "We advise caution. Markets typically move opposite to the crowd's expectations at all times."

Santiment also flagged that over 272,000 non-empty Bitcoin wallets disappeared in six days, the largest contraction since summer 2024. Retail is quietly exiting while everyone is posting bullish takes.

The CLARITY Act is genuinely historic and long-term bullish. But Santiment warned that prices could be "baked in" before the bill is officially signed into law. White House crypto advisor Patrick Witt confirmed it was "a major step forward" but stressed "there is more work to be done."

Then the bond market delivered its verdict. The 10-year Treasury yield hit 4.55% and Bitcoin slid back below $80,000 on Friday.

One legislative step forward. One macro step back.

Euphoria never ages well. ☕

What we’ve covered for you today:

Solayer, the Solana-based Layer-1 blockchain behind infiniSVM, has launched the Solayer Pay Physical Card, a Visa-compatible card letting users spend USDC balances directly at merchants worldwide, online and at ATMs.

No conversion step. No custodian holding your funds. The merchant sees a normal Visa payment.

Existing Solayer Pay users get the card free. New users pay a $20 annual activation fee. The platform already has 40,000 users across 100+ countries from its April 2025 launch.

The yield angle makes it interesting. Unspent balances can earn approximately 4% APY through sUSD conversion backed by US Treasury bills. A savings account yield on a crypto spending card. 👀

The broader context: the stablecoin card race is accelerating. OKX, MetaMask and Visa have all launched similar products in 2026. The stablecoin market has grown from $243 billion to $322 billion in a single year.

Everyone is building the same product. The race is now about distribution.

Solayer just added a physical card to the fight. ☕

Meet Christopher Harborne. Thailand-based. British-born. And as of Friday, the sixth richest person in Britain with an estimated fortune of £18.2 billion.

Most of that wealth comes from a 12% stake in Tether, valued at approximately $200 billion. Tether reported $1.04 billion in Q1 profit this year alone. 👀

The reason he is suddenly front page news has nothing to do with crypto…

Harborne gave £5 million as a personal gift to Nigel Farage in 2024, reportedly to fund his private security. The UK Parliamentary Standards Commissioner has now opened a formal investigation into whether Farage should have declared the gift before the 2024 election.

The political donations go deeper.

Harborne has given over £22 million to Reform UK in total, including a £9 million contribution in August 2025 described as the largest single political donation from a living individual in British history.

Farage says the gift was "unconditional" and "a reward for campaigning for Brexit for 27 years."

Parliament disagrees that it needed no declaration.

Tether made someone the sixth richest person in Britain. Now that person is at the centre of a parliamentary scandal. ☕

Wall Street hijacked the stock market 200 years ago. 

Now in 2026, they're coming for YOUR digital assets.

Bitcoin was supposed to be peer-to-peer. No banks. No middlemen.

Not anymore.

BlackRock owns more Bitcoin than most countries. 

Fidelity's ETF hit $10 billion. 

JPMorgan called Bitcoin a "fraud" — now they run billions in tokenized assets. 

They ARE crypto now.

Every time you hit "Buy" on Coinbase, you're trading at their prices that they've already positioned themselves for the biggest returns. You're fighting over scraps.

It's the 2008 playbook. 

Wall Street sold mortgage-backed securities to retail, then shorted them and made billions while people lost their homes.

But there's a way to operate outside their system.

Tan Gera, ex-Wall Street banker and CFA Charterholder, walked away after discovering their two-tier system. 

Now, his 35-person research team helps 3,000+ investors access opportunities before Wall Street marks them up 100x.

Hyperliquid Gets Targeted

Hyperliquid had a great week. Coinbase partnership. Circle partnership. HYPE up 20%. Then CME and ICE walked into Washington and tried to end the party.

CME Group and ICE have been lobbying the CFTC and Capitol Hill to force regulatory oversight on Hyperliquid, citing risks of market manipulation, sanctions evasion and distortion of global oil benchmarks.

Their specific concern is Hyperliquid's 24/7 anonymous perpetual futures market, particularly its crude oil contracts which exploded from $339 million to $7.3 billion in volume in just a few weeks during the Iran conflict. 👀

CME and ICE argue sanctioned entities could use the platform to influence oil pricing outside the US regulatory perimeter.

Hyperliquid pushed back hard. The platform argued that every trade and liquidation is publicly verifiable on-chain, offering more transparency than any traditional exchange.

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes was less diplomatic: "Go f— themselves. Long live HYPE."

The honest read: CME and ICE are simultaneously facing their own CFTC and DOJ investigations over suspiciously well-timed oil futures trades before federal policy announcements. Critics say this is regulation being used as a competitive weapon.

HYPE dropped from $46 to $41 on the news before recovering near $44.

DeFi just got Wall Street's full attention. ☕

Bitcoin To $200K..

The current price action is reading as a potential bear trap. A convincing rally off the $60,000 low that looks like recovery but has not confirmed a genuine cycle bottom.

The $79,000 to $80,000 region is likely where the top of this bear market rally sits. If price fails to hold above this zone, a macro corrective move becomes significantly more probable. 👀

That move would sweep liquidity below and force the kind of capitulation that historically precedes genuine accumulation.

Genuine bottoms are not events. They are processes.

Price needs to spend extended time at lower levels building structure. The difference between a real cycle bottom and a dead cat bounce is the time and volume spent accumulating at the right levels.

One builds the foundation. The other just bounces.

Once that accumulation is complete, the rotational move toward the highs becomes structurally sound.

And the target at the end of that rotation? $200,000 and beyond.

Patience is not missing the trade. It is finding the right one. ☕

Michael Saylor reaffirmed that Strategy has no plans to sell its Bitcoin holdings despite ongoing market volatility. Saylor stated the company remains fully committed to its long-term Bitcoin strategy, emphasizing that institutional adoption and global demand continue to strengthen the asset’s outlook.

Polymarket’s recent ceasefire betting market sparked controversy after traders accused the platform of unfair dispute resolution and potential insider trading activity. The debate intensified when suspiciously timed bets reportedly generated hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits ahead of geopolitical announcements,

US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded more than $1 billion in net outflows over the past week, ending a six-week inflow streak that previously attracted around $3.4 billion in institutional capital. The sharp reversal came as rising Treasury yields, inflation concerns, and broader macro.
