NEWS📰

1. 🏦 Securitize & Mantle Launch Institutional Crypto Fund

   Securitize and Mantle have launched the MI4 Fund, a crypto index fund targeting institutions. It offers exposure to Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, and US dollar stablecoins, plus liquid staking tokens like mETH and USDe to boost yields. The fund aims to be the S&P 500 of crypto, amid growing institutional interest.

2. 🔓 The Fed Pulls Back Crypto Unfriendly Bank Regulation

   The Fed has withdrawn key regulation from 2022 and 2023 that discouraged banks from engaging in crypto and stablecoin activities. Crypto oversight will now follow standard supervisory processes. This marks a major shift under the Trump administration, aligning with broader efforts to make the US the crypto capital of the world.

3. 🔄 Vitalik Proposes EVM Switch to RISC-V

   Vitalik Buterin proposed on switching Ethereum’s contract from EVM to RISC-V to boost speed and efficiency. He believes it could help ETH stay competitive with faster chains like Solana and Sui. The proposal comes as ETH faces low fees, reduced L1 usage, and investor concerns about declining revenue and market share.

Narrative Of The Week: Trade War Cooldown

Tensions around the global trade war are easing, and markets are starting to breathe again. Here’s what’s happening:

China Tariffs May Drop: Trump and Treasury Sec. Bessent hinted at a major reduction in tariffs on China, though talks could take years to conclude.

EU-China Talks Progress: The European Parliament is reportedly close to a deal with China to remove tariffs on member nations, signaling smoother trade ahead.

Markets React: After weeks of stress, signs of de escalation have traders itching to go risk on at the first whiff of good news.

Trade war fears have been a weight on global markets, any real progress here could flip sentiment fast and send both stocks and crypto higher.
