🚀#Bitcoin's bull run is still going strong, folks! 🎉

- BTC's price has been on a rollercoaster ride, with bear and bull cycles dominating the past decade.
- The current cycle, which kicked off mid-2023, has been a bit different. Thanks to the hype around potential approval of Bitcoin ETFs in the US, BTC broke its 2021 record and hit a new high of nearly $74k. 📈
- Once the ETFs became a reality, BTC's legitimacy as an investment asset soared. Big names like BlackRock and Fidelity jumped on board, and inflows skyrocketed.
- Even with demand leveling off recently, BTC's price is still hanging out between $60k-$70k.

And there's more good news:
- Rumor has it the US Federal Reserve might lower interest rates later this year. That's usually a bullish sign for riskier assets like BTC. 🐂
- The halving happened a month ago, and while some say its effects are diminishing, the production of new BTC is down to around 450 per day. That's less than what ETFs, whales, and retail investors are scooping up.

So, when will this bull cycle end? 🤔
CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju thinks we're smack dab in the middle of it. If the current trend continues, he predicts the bull run could end by April 2025.

🚀📉 Over 80% of new crypto tokens listed on Binance have seen their value drop, says crypto researcher Flow. Only 5 out of 31 tokens analyzed have appreciated, with Ordi token leading the pack with a 261% increase.

Despite the decline, there's a silver lining! 🌈 The current token launch strategy needs a revamp. High FDVs are causing value erosion and lack of market interest.

💡 Idea: Launching at a lower FDV could allow secondary market traders to profit and generate momentum.

🚀 U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis is all in on Bitcoin! She's championing for laws that support the crypto, with her latest move being a tweet of "Bitcoin laser eyes"! 💫

🔹 Lummis is known for advocating Bitcoin as a reliable store of value and shield against inflation. She's part of the Senate Banking Committee, pushing for a regulatory environment that encourages crypto innovation while protecting consumers.

🔹 The Senate just passed H.J.Res. 109, aiming to overturn SAB 121 - a rule that restricts financial institutions from acting as custodians for digital assets like Bitcoin. Lummis has been vocal about her support for this move, denouncing SAB 121 as a rule disguised as accounting guidance.

🔹 However, the White House isn't too thrilled. President Biden might veto the bill, arguing that it could undermine the SEC's efforts to protect investors and the broader financial system.

🔹 Critics of SAB 121 argue it's too restrictive and hinders financial institutions from meeting the growing demand for Bitcoin services.

🔹 The future of H.J.Res. 109 is uncertain due to the potential presidential veto. If vetoed, the current restrictions on digital asset custody remain.

🎉🏦 US Senate votes to ditch the ban on banks offering crypto custody services! A big step forward, but will it survive a potential presidential veto? Let's discuss! 👇

• The Senate passed H.J.Res.109, opposing the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin 121 (SAB 121). Critics say it's a costly "rule" disguised as "guidance", hindering banks from safeguarding customers' crypto assets.

• The House passed the resolution last week with a 55% majority. The Senate saw a 60/38 split, with all Republicans and 11 Democrats in favor.

• President Biden has promised a veto, but some hope the Senate's result might sway the administration.
