This week saw a fascinating intersection of mainstream finance and political forces attempting to embrace the crypto ethos following the dramatic conclusion of the Bitcoin ETF saga. Here's a breakdown of the key events:

Wall Street Embraces Crypto Culture

  • Franklin Templeton's digital assets team took over the company's Twitter account, aiming to infuse youthful energy after the successful launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs.

  • In the Republican presidential primary, crypto advocate Vivek Ramaswamy dropped out of the race and endorsed front runner Donald Trump.
  • Ramaswamy's endorsement raised hopes among crypto advocates that Trump might adopt a pro-crypto stance. Ramaswamy even suggested banning the creation of a CBDC to Trump.
  • Trump's subsequent pledge in New Hampshire to never allow a CBDC in the US potentially signaled the influence of crypto allies like Ramaswamy in his inner circle.

The convergence of finance and politics with the crypto world this week underscores the growing significance of digital assets in mainstream conversations.
