Crypto Gets $76B?! 🤯

Okay, so apparently someone’s been stuffing a lot of actual money – like, government-issued, boring money – into crypto. Seventy-six billion dollars worth, to be precise. Which, let’s be real, is enough to buy a small country, or at least a really nice vineyard. They’re calling it a “strong market signal.” I call it someone finally figuring out what a stablecoin is. Took ‘em long enough. 🙄

USDT and USDC are basically flexing their financial muscles. Investors are apparently betting the market is going to…go up. Groundbreaking. Next you’ll tell me water is wet.

Billions in Fiat Pour (Seriously)

Tether’s USDT went from $120 billion to $165 billion since Trump won the election (yes, that election). I’m not saying there’s a connection, but I’m also not not saying there’s a connection. 🤔 Circle’s USDC also had a glow-up, jumping from $34 billion to $65 billion. It’s like they saw Trump win and were like, “Oh no, we need crypto!”

This whole thing is happening at the same time as, get this, *regulatory clarity*. Like, adults are actually discussing rules for this stuff. And apparently, a bill called the GENIUS Act (seriously, who names these things?) passed. Trump signed it, because of course he did. It’s designed to make sure stablecoins don’t just…disappear overnight. Which is good. For everyone. 😅

Circle Goes Public, Tether Stays Home

So, Circle is now a publicly traded company. They had an IPO, raised a billion dollars, and their stock is doing ridiculously well. Five times the debut price! They’re even building their own blockchain. It’s all very…corporate. Meantime, Tether is over there, like, “Nah, we’re good. We’ll just observe from the shadows.” Which, honestly, feels very on-brand for Tether. 🤷‍♀️

Basically, the crypto world is getting…respectable? Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I need a drink. And possibly a financial advisor.
