White House ethics deal reopens Senate runway for landmark U.S. crypto bill
The White House has agreed to ethics language that had become the last major sticking point for the Senate’s Clarity Act negotiations, according to The Block.

One statistic really puts Bitcoin into perspective. 👀

Global financial assets are estimated at around $342T.

Bitcoin's market cap? Roughly $1.3T.

That's only about 0.4% of the global financial system.

Despite all the attention Bitcoin gets, it's still a relatively small piece of the bigger picture.

If adoption continues and Bitcoin captures a larger share of global assets over time, the upside could be significant.

We're still in the early chapters of a much bigger story.

Where do you think $BTC goes from here?

June was the weakest month on record for crypto ETFs, with more than $5 billion in net outflows. But July has completely flipped the script.

So far, we've already seen over $2 billion in net inflows, signaling that institutional demand is returning in force.

For context, last July was the strongest month ever for crypto ETF inflows, with more than $11 billion pouring into the market.

Momentum is building, sentiment is shifting, and capital is flowing back in.

Will history repeat itself?
