BREAKING: The U.S. Senate has confirmed an April markup for the CLARITY Act. Senate markup is confirmed for the second half of April. Final passage is targeted for May and Senator Moreno has warned that if the bill does not pass by then, digital asset legislation will not receive serious consideration again before 2027. The entire fight comes down to stablecoin yield. The current draft bans passive yield, users cannot earn by simply holding stablecoins. Activity based rewards for payments and transfers are still allowed. That distinction puts $1.35 billion of Coinbase's annual revenue directly at risk, nearly one fifth of everything the company earns. Coinbase has rejected the bill twice and is now coordinating a formal counterproposal with multiple major crypto firms to get the language changed before the draft hardens. Banks are pushing in the opposite direction. Jamie Dimon and Brian Armstrong have reportedly clashed directly over stablecoin economics. April is the window. Everything gets decided in the next four weeks.

BREAKING: 🇯🇵 Japan's Tokyo Core CPI just came in at 1.7% for March. Below the 1.8% forecast. Below last month's 1.8%. That is the lowest reading since April 2024. Nearly two years of progress, quietly reversing. Inflation in Japan is cooling faster than anyone expected. That puts the Bank of Japan in a difficult spot. They just started raising rates. Now their own inflation data is heading the wrong way. Watch the Yen. This changes the math.

BREAKING: Oil price is on track to give its highly daily close in the last 44 months. This is not good for global economy.

🚨 US markets just hit an 8-month low. Over $1.2 trillion erased in a single day. Nasdaq and S&P 500 are now back to levels last seen in July 2025. S&P 500 down 1.66%, wiping out $1 trillion Nasdaq down 2.09%, wiping out $600 billion Dow Jones down 1.19%, wiping out $300 billion Russell 2000 down 2.53%, wiping out $100 billion

One AI company has wiped out more market cap in 60 days than most countries' entire stock markets are worth: Anthropic. Every time Anthropic releases something new, a different sector of the market is targeted. FEBRUARY 3 CLAUDE COWORK PLUGINS Anthropic released plugins for legal, finance and marketing that could automate contract reviews, compliance checks, financial analysis and ad campaigns, work that companies like Thomson Reuters, LegalZoom and WPP charge billions to do. $285 billion wiped in a single day. - Thomson Reuters down 18%. LegalZoom down 19%. - Gartner down 21%. - WPP down 12%. - Omnicom down 11%. - KKR and Ares Management each down 10%. FEBRUARY 6 CLAUDE OPUS 4.6 A model that could autonomously run entire teams of AI agents simultaneously, directly threatening platforms like Salesforce, Workday and Microsoft Copilot. FactSet down 10%. S&P Global, Moody's and Nasdaq all dropped sharply the same day. FEBRUARY 20 CLAUDE CODE SECURITY An AI tool that scans entire codebases for vulnerabilities and suggests fixes, work that CrowdStrike and Cloudflare charge enterprise clients hundreds of millions to do. CrowdStrike and Cloudflare each fell 8-10%. Global X Cybersecurity ETF dropped 9%. FEBRUARY 23 CLAUDE CODE COBOL Anthropic announced Claude could automate modernization of COBOL, the legacy programming language that runs most of the world's banking and insurance systems and is the foundation of IBM's entire mainframe consulting business. IBM dropped 13.2%, its worst single day in 25 years. Over $30 billion wiped in one session. MARCH 27 CLAUDE MYTHOS LEAKED ACCIDENTALLY Details leaked showing the model scored dramatically higher on cybersecurity benchmarks, meaning AI can now detect and respond to threats at a level that traditionally required entire security teams and expensive enterprise software. $14.5 billion wiped from cybersecurity stocks.

@BullTheoryio This isn’t “AI demand is dead.” It’s the market realizing two things at once: 1. Efficiency lowers marginal demand today 2. Oil shock raises marginal cost right now Tech narrative cracked. Macro finished the job.

BREAKING: One Google update and an oil war just wiped out $450 billion from memory stocks. The entire growth story for Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron and Sandisk was built on one assumption: AI demand for memory would keep scaling forever. Every analyst had buy ratings. Every fab had orders through 2026 and beyond. The memory supercycle was supposed to be unstoppable. Then Google released TurboQuant, an algorithm that reduces the amount of memory AI models need to run by 6x. Investors immediately started pricing in the question nobody in the memory industry wants to answer: if AI needs 6x less memory, why does anyone need to keep buying more chips? And before the sector could recover, the Iran war made it worse. Samsung and SK Hynix manufacture the majority of the world's memory chips in South Korea. South Korea gets 81% of its total energy from imported fossil fuels. The Strait of Hormuz closure sent energy costs surging, hitting fab operating costs directly and compressing the margins that made these stocks worth buying in the first place. And it caused one of the biggest crash in memory stocks. - Micron down 30%, wiping out $172 billion - Sandisk down 25%, wiping out $20 billion - Samsung down 18%, wiping out $168 billion - SK Hynix down 18%, wiping out $87 billion

@best_cryptobest Right

@BullTheoryio One Google efficiency breakthrough exposed how fragile the AI memory supercycle really was. Geopolitics just accelerated what fundamentals were already questioning.

@cpuprotocol Yes.

@BullTheoryio New regime. Not new leadership. New regime. That's a very specific choice of words.

BREAKING: Trump says the U.S. is in talks with a “NEW, MORE REASONABLE REGIME” in Iran. He threatened to obliterate Iran’s power plants, oil infrastructure, Kharg Island, and even desalination facilities if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened immediately. He also said, "Strikes are being held back for now, but retaliation is ready if negotiations fail."

POWELL JUST LAID OUT THE CURRENT STATE OF THE U.S ECONOMY. Prices can still go higher, as tariffs may add up to 1% more inflation. At the same time, finding a job is getting harder, especially for new workers. AI is helping companies become more efficient, but it is also changing how jobs work. He also said the money printing done in the past did not cause inflation. His message is simple: the economy is changing, but pressure on prices and jobs is still there.

US market erased all gains made at market open within last 60 minutes. SPX is down 0.87% today, wiping out roughly $540 billion from its market cap. Nasdaq is down 1.20%, wiping out around $360 billion from its market cap. Russell 2000 is down 1.64%, wiping out about $50 billion from its market cap. Meanwhile Oil has reclaimed $102.

🚨BREAKING: Iran officially confirms the death of IRGC Navy commander Alireza Tangsiri. He was the one responsible for the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

@paulbarron True.

Long term is the only trade

BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 President Trump just said negotiations are going well and we could soon see a deal with Iran.

BREAKING: President Trump said he wants to “take the Oil in Iran” and could seize Kharg Island, per FT. This one island controls 90% of Iran’s oil export and only way to take over is ground invasion.

BREAKING: Bitcoin dumped -$1,700 from $66,710 to $65,000 and liquidated over $185 million worth of longs in 60 MINUTES. But then it pumped +$1,400 from $65,000 to $66,400 in 15 MINUTES and liquidated nearly $14 million worth of shorts. All this happened in the last 75 minutes. This is another example of manipulation on the low-liquidity weekend to wiped out both leveraged longs and shorts.

BREAKING: Bitcoin just dropped -$1,400 in the past 30 minutes, hitting $65,000. $186 million worth of longs were liquidated.

BREAKING: Oil futures opens at $103 as the market opens for the first time since the news of potential U.S. ground invasion in Iran. US Stock market futures are in negative S&P 500: -0.62% Nasdaq: -0.70% Dow: -0.68% Russell 2000: -1%

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 There are now over 50,000 American soldiers in the Middle East. 10,000 more than usual.
