Huge catalyst for cryptocurrencies today, $ASST continues to break high point with insane volume - definitely the strongest crypto treasury stock. You want to be holding this as $BTC makes a generational comeback
BREAKING: The SEC just approved onchain trading of tokenized stocks, under a temporary, limited exemption.
This lets crypto platforms offer tokenized versions of stocks like Apple and Tesla with lighter rules while the SEC builds permanent regulation.
$SMTC breaks ATH today with good volume, one of the strongest semiconductor stocks rn (if not THE strongest). You will regret it if you don't have this stock
The SEC just approved a 5-year pilot letting trading platforms sell tokenized U.S. stocks — real shares wrapped as crypto tokens, traded through liquidity pools (like Uniswap) instead of a normal stock exchange order book. Platforms and their liquidity providers get to skip exchange/broker-dealer registration if they follow strict rules: volume caps, real-time disclosures, halts matching the real stock, no leverage, same voting/dividend rights as the actual shares.
It's small in scale (volume is capped well below normal trading activity) and explicitly temporary/experimental, but it's the first time the SEC has greenlit AMM-style trading for real equities — a meaningful step toward stocks trading on-chain, and a signal the SEC is rethinking market structure more broadly.

This afternoon the Fed did what most of the market was already bracing for — a 25bps hike to 375-400bps, the first since 2023, delivered under new Chair Kevin Warsh. And to be fair, it wasn't much of a jolt. This one had been priced in for a while, so the headline itself barely moved the needle.
The real story isn't the hike, though — it's what came with it. Alongside the decision, the Fed released its dot plot, and that's where things get interesting. Warsh, in the press conference, still sounded distinctly hawkish. He made it a point to say prices remain too high, and he wasn't shy about it. Look at the dots themselves and you'll see a meaningful cluster sitting above where rates currently stand — which tells you the committee isn't done. Another hike before this cycle wraps up looks like a real possibility, not just a tail risk.
That matters for equities and risky assets more broadly, because it means the pressure isn't behind us — it's more likely still ahead in the near term. You could see it playing out already today on the charts. Pretty much everything except the Nasdaq broke down (with high volume) through critical support levels, which is usually the market's way of telling you it's taking this more seriously than the headline number would suggest.
Pro trading (life) tip #4: stay active and lift weights! Scientific research shows that exercise boosts BDNF, a protein that supports neuroplasticity.
Also having more muscle mass helps you live longer, meaning compound interest for more years!
#FOMC meeting coming up! Will there be a surprise of not hiking even with CME FedWatch giving 93% chance of hiking rates by 25bps?
