This thirteenth episode of DAD: Digital Asset Digest drops in the aftermath of what might be the single most transformative week in crypto history where the GENIUS Act is now law, the global crypto market cap briefly hit $3.90 trillion, and institutional FOMO is going full throttle.
Our hosts dissect what this all means, starting with market stability at historic highs with Bitcoin steady at $119,658, Ethereum eyeing $4,000, and stablecoin volume soaring past $120B daily. We unpack the institutional flows behind the numbers: $5.6B in ETF inflows, Metaplanet’s $17K BTC buy, and Galaxy Digital’s pivot post-GENIUS.
Then it's on to the stablecoin revolution: U.S.-compliant stablecoins are no longer a dream but they're a regulatory mandate. Tether’s U.S. version, audit standards, and dual-licensing frameworks are creating a new monetary layer with bank-grade backing.
Across the pond, Europe’s Sparkassen (1,700 banks strong) just signaled a 2026 crypto services rollout. Add in MiCA certainty, and we’re witnessing the early days of a pan-European adoption wave. We close with ETF odds nearing certainty for SOL, XRP, LTC and alpha picks that reflect the new rules of the game.
