Trump’s return came with big crypto promises—regulatory clarity, friendlier markets, and global trade boosts. But how much has really been delivered so far?

❌ Regulatory reform? Still delayed.
❌ SEC/Fed still playing the same games.

🧐 Market Overview: Altcoin Season Is Coming Closer Than You Think
Bitcoin pierced $105K early this month but couldn’t hold, dipping back to $102K this week as market energy shifted toward altcoins. Meanwhile, Ethereum exploded 40% post-PECTRA, reclaiming $2,500 and driving a broader alt rally.
In TradFi, the Fed held rates steady, earnings beat expectations, and bond yields climbed, hinting at inflationary pressure despite GDP drag. The S&P 500 closed slightly lower, while macro uncertainty gave crypto a weird relative calm.
👉 What to Watch
📌 Altcoin Rotation: Ethereum’s dominance is rising. Watch for momentum in SOL, AVAX, and meme coins like PEPE, which surged 40%.
📌 Regulation Watch: Bipartisan support for the GENIUS Act is gaining traction, but delays continue. How long can the SEC stall?
📌 Political Chess: Trump’s India tariff tease and crypto-friendly soundbites are bullish—but will policy follow the hype?
📌 BNB Volatility: Massive on-chain volume + token price drop = something’s brewing. Keep an eye on Binance and DEX liquidity.
