AI Summary

Bitcoin whipsawed between $67,500 and $71,200 after Trump posted a Truth Social message about pausing Iran strikes, only for Iran to deny any talks occurred, triggering $415M in liquidations. BTC has since recovered to ~$71,000, but analysts say $75,000 remains the critical threshold separating a bounce from a full bull market resumption. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink's annual letter argues tokenized assets could modernize markets, while Circle's USYC overtook BlackRock's BUIDL as the largest tokenized U.S. Treasury product at $2.2B.

Tokenized assets

Digital wallets and tokenized assets could do for Wall Street what the internet did to mail, representing a long-term structural shift rather than a cyclical trade.

Bitcoin bull market threshold

$75,000 is the decisive level โ€” failure to clear it reinforces the broader downtrend in place since October, while a decisive break above signals renewed bullish momentum.
