🧪 Poll of the Week

IRS Wants Your Wallets Now 🧾💸

The IRS just dropped its 2026 Form W-9 draft — and yes, crypto and NFTs are on the taxman’s radar. Brokers will need to verify TINs for digital asset transactions starting January 2026. How do you feel about Uncle Sam sliding into your MetaMask?

👉 Vote wisely — your accountant’s already sweating.

While Wall Street added $1.2T in market cap, crypto got smoked — shedding $170B in just days.

😵 Bitcoin whipsawed below $113K after $1.5B in liquidations
🏦 Fed cut rates, but this failed to lift risk appetite
📈 SEC fast-tracked ETFs, Europe launched a euro stablecoin
⚖️ DOJ kept hammering crypto, while D.C. teetered on shutdown

Meanwhile, meme coins pumped, majors stumbled, and traders were left asking: is this regulatory clarity or quiet control?

👉 Institutions may be loading up for Q4. Don’t get trapped in the chop.

🔥 Wall Street Gained $1.2T. Crypto Lost $170B. Same Week. Same Market.

In just 48 hours, Wall Street printed $1.2 trillion in fresh gains, with record highs for the Nasdaq and S&P 500, while Alphabet hit a $3T market cap. It was a party... unless you held crypto.

Because while stocks soared, crypto got slammed — $170B gone in a blink.

What’s behind the divergence? Traders are blaming:

🕊️ Cooling U.S.–China tensions
🧠 Fresh AI hype + strong tech earnings
💰 Hopes of faster Fed cuts

But crypto didn’t get the invite — and that’s the signal traders are watching hardest.
