Daily crypto roundup 🧵

1/ Crypto market cap just smashed $4T for the first time - institutional money is pouring in like never before. Here's the breakdown on what's fueling this epic run... 📈

2/ Market Movers: BTC hits $118.7k, ETH closing in on $4k, and XRP at a new ATH. Top gainers firing up: ETC, UNI, FLR, SKY, DOGE. Stablecoin cap at $260b with Tether minting $3b USDT in under a day. Momentum is real.

3/ More movers: Massive ETF inflows - BTC +$523m, #ETH +$602m. Coinbase stock surges to ATH, up XX% m/m. My take: This screams risk-on vibes across the board. But watch for any pullbacks.

4/ Tech & Innovation: #BlackRock files to add staking to their ETH ETF - could redefine yields for holders. Adam Back launches BTC SPV backed by 30k BTC. Now here's the key: These upgrades boost efficiency and adoption.

5/ Innovation continued: Backpack rolls out FTX claims sales channel. #Kaito drops ICO-style launchpad, and Cookie teams with Legion for their own. Plot twist - more tools for builders in a booming ecosystem.

6/ Regulation & Adoption: Trump to sign EO letting crypto into 401ks - massive win for mainstream entry. White House backs tax exemptions too. Russia's Sberbank jumps in with crypto custody services. Smart money mindset: This eases barriers big time.

7/ Adoption heats up: #Sharplink scoops $115m ETH, MSTR raising $6b for more BTC buys. Bit Origin eyes $500m for DOGE, Thumzup $250m in crypto, GameSquare $70m ETH. Whale shifts $4.8b BTC to Galaxy. Institutions are all in.

8/ Community & Ecosystem: Hot coins buzzing - ERA, CPUTER, DUMP, EMO, REKT, GIGA. NFTs on fire: Punks, Moonbirds, Kaito Genesis. Murad's portfolio hits $57m, Tom Lee reps Pudgy Penguin PFP. Quick hits: PUMP dips to $4.5b FDV, Caldera trades at $1.5b, Leshner's LQR bid fails.
