Bitcoin surged over 20% this week driven by regulatory optimism following a White House cryptocurrency summit, President Trump's backing of the CLARITY Act, and increased US Treasury buybacks lowering bond yields and boosting risk assets.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3.

The US government’s clearer crypto regulatory stance and Treasury bond buybacks have reopened speculative capital flows into bitcoin. You should prepare for renewed investor activity and regulatory clarity shaping early crypto market entrants this quarter.
