$RLUSD is institutional-grade infrastructure for payments and tokenization.
Through @wormhole’s Native Token Transfers (NTT), $RLUSD can now move natively across multiple blockchain ecosystems, supporting cross-border payments, institutional on/off-ramps, and tokenization use cases.
For developers and institutions building onchain, that expands access to compliant, USD-backed liquidity across supported networks.
NEW: The Clarity Act has officially been reported out of the Senate Banking Committee and placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar.
On May 14, the committee voted to advance the bill.
As of June 1, that process is complete and the legislation is now eligible to be scheduled for consideration by the full Senate. The next major hurdle is a floor vote.
The sequence is now:
✅ Introduced
✅ Committee hearings
✅ Committee markup
✅ Passed Senate Banking Committee (15-9)
✅ Placed on Senate Calendar
⬜ Full Senate debate/amendments
⬜ Senate floor vote
⬜ House-Senate reconciliation (if needed)
⬜ Presidential signature
And we’re off! @CMEGroup is officially live with 24/7 crypto futures & options trading, providing around-the-clock access to crypto derivatives. @Ripple Prime is a day one clearing and financing partner, supporting always-on markets.
Fun fact: $XRP futures were the fastest ever contracts on CME to cross $1B in open interest, achieving this in just 3 months last year. The institutional demand is there, and now so is the infrastructure. https://t.co/V4k7UBd5Gv
🇵🇹Portugal's housing boom still hasn't hit a ceiling.
Nationwide house prices rose another +5.24% in Q4 2025 vs Q3.
Year-over-year: +23.25%
A market growing 23% annually doubles roughly every 3 years if sustained.
Prices have now been on an upward trend for the past 13 years.
BREAKING: The SEC is set to release its so-called "innovation exemption" for tokenized stocks which will pave the path for trading digital versions of securities, per Bloomberg.
Details include:
1. In a "surprise move," the SEC is leaning toward allowing the trading of tokenized assets
2. These tokenized assets would be tradeable on decentralized crypto platforms
3. The move could "reshape the landscape of the American stock market"
4. This would also be one of the US' biggest shifts into crypto infrastructure yet
Tokenized assets are rapidly expanding.
It's been a long time coming, but with everyone's current obsession with the macro I've decided to explore S&P 500 cycles during the past 100 years.
I'm calling it the Quartercent Cycles Theory because of the 25 year long cycles in between pauses.
There have been many times that have been deemed as a recession, but I see the true market pauses as the great depression in the 30's, between 66' and 77' and the 2000's dot-com crash to the 2008 housing market crash.
In between these approximately 9 year pauses are 5 different highs which come at certain intervals after the "dawn" which is the final and most devestating correction that begins the next 25-year run.
They are listed by how many years they come from the dawn:
- 6 year top (red)
- 9 year top (orange)
- 12 year top (yellow)
- 15 year top (green)
- 19 year top (blue)
The dates for these tops are further reinforced with Fibonacci time measures between the dawn and the first top of the pause (approx).
Pause periods have two major tops that come about 7 years apart.
This cycles theory has had incredible accuracy with only a few tops not playing out:
- 51' (continued up no correction)
- 54' (continued up no correction)
- 84' (correction came sooner in 83')
What does this mean for now?
If the cycles theory is correct, we have just hit our 15 year high in December 2024. The good news is that previous 15 year high corrections (57' and 84') only lasted a couple of months. By that time frame it could be over soon. It is typical for corresponding highs to act similarly.
The next topping point to watch out for beyond our current is in late 2028.
The next market pause according to the 25 year cycle would be between 2034 and 2043.
A serious correction seems unlikely for quite a while.
🚨JUST IN: The Clarity Act ADVANCES out of the Senate Banking Committee in a 15-9 bipartisan vote, with two Democrats voting in favor: @SenRubenGallego and @Sen_Alsobrooks.
Next stop: the full Senate.
