Bitcoin cleared $69K, HYPE ran 20% after Trump said the CFTC chair is bringing Hyperliquid to the US, and Trump floated buying "sizable" amounts of Bitcoin for the reserve.

The SEC just proposed Regulation Crypto Assets and the market exploded. Ethereum ripped nearly 9% back over $2,000, Bitcoin reclaimed $68K. 402 pages, two new fundraising lanes, and an escape hatch that can turn a token into a non-security.
