Ever had those moments when you wake up at night, still half-asleep, and see a scary shadow in the corner of your room... but then realize it's actually your own coat on the chair?

This feeling is lowkey the crypto market's vibe rn.

Just recently, everyone was gripping the edge of their seat, sure we were in for more pain. But the mood flipped when US inflation numbers dropped, and they were actually better than expected.

And now, everybody and their mom is betting that we'll get an interest rate cut this week.

Quick reminder: rate cuts are typically bullish for crypto. So, the crypto market flipped positive:

👉 Bitcoin charged past $115K;

👉 Ethereum reached $4.2K;

👉 And the crypto Fear & Greed Index crawled out of Fear and made it to Neutral. In crypto, that's basically a group sigh of relief.

The bottom line: good news on inflation means more people are willing to take risks again.

Now, we'll be watching Fed Chair Jerome Powell to see if he keeps the door open for even more rate cuts this year.

If the Fed really is easing up, we could expect some fireworks 🎉

💾 IBM opens crypto playground

Institutions wanna dip their toes into crypto - stablecoins, tokenized assets, maybe even some DeFi yield... but they're scared of headlines about lost keys and hacked funds.

And the tech giant IBM has a solution for them: Digital Asset Haven.

It's a platform for the suits - the banks, Fortune 500s, and even government agencies that want the upside of blockchain without the seed phrases.

IBM's packaging up custody, payments, and access to vetted DeFi platforms - all wrapped in enterprise-grade compliance and security.

Basically, the same company that keeps airports running and credit card networks alive is now building crypto infrastructure.

And they're not doing it alone - they teamed up with Dfns, a security firm known for creating fortress-level wallet tech.

The platform officially goes live in late 2025, and it's IBM's big bet that crypto's next wave will be powered by institutions that finally feel safe enough to jump in.

Now, here's why this story matters:

For years, TradFi has been looking at crypto like, "cool tech, but too risky." IBM's development is a sign that the guardrails are finally going up.

So don't be surprised when your bank - or your local government - suddenly starts talking about "digital asset initiatives."

This is the bridge.
