This week, weâre gonna start with The Losers. And thatâs because 99.9% of crypto was in the red over the weekend⦠Why? The [SEC]( (aka the 3 most feared letters in crypto). The SEC sued [Binance.US]( and [Coinbase]( last week and named-dropped some of the most popular tokens (like SOL, MATIC, etc) as securities. It sent shockwaves throughout crypto. As a result: - Crypto. com dropped big news it was [shutting down]( its institutional exchange in the U.S. on Friday - Robinhood [announced]( it would delist tokens like Cardano (ADA), Polygon (MATIC), and Solana (SOL) on Friday - Many tokens dropped over 30% This weekend felt like when you stub your pinky toe on the edge of a table. You know you arenât gonna die but f*ck, it hurts. But everyone knows the rules: one tokenâs pain is another tokenâs gain. And there was 1 BIG WINNER throughout the madnessâ¦. drumroll..... BITCOIN (BTC) Why? Because BTC has already been [determined]( to be a commodity by the U.S. government. So while most other crypto cryptocurrencies are in trouble for being âsecuritiesâ, BTC is in the safe zone (for now). As a result, Bitcoinâs âcoin dominanceâ jumped to ~49.5% for the first time since April 2021. Source: TradingView Coin dominance is the ratio of any tokenâs market cap to the cumulative market cap of cryptocurrencies. It's a good way to see how big a coin is relative to the whole crypto market. And right now, Bitcoin is a lot like Nikola Jokic in the NBA Finals - dominant as f*ck.

There are 2 main things you need to keep an eye on⦠1/ Regulation There are a ton of regulation hearings, committees, and decisions happening this week. Hereâs a round-up of the most important ones. On Tuesday: - The U.S. Financial Services Committee is having a hearing titled [âThe Future of Digital Assets: Providing Clarity for the Digital Asset Ecosystem.â]( *gulp* - U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) data gets released. *gulp x2* - The Hinman documents from the XRP v SEC case get released. Many think these docs could be monumental in determining that XRP, and many other similar tokens, arenât securities. Phew, talk about a busy day. (Queue Drake ðµ âItâs going up, on a Tuesdayâ ðµ) Then on Wednesday, thereâs the FOMC meeting and the U.S. rate decision. All eyes will be on Jerome Powell and the Fed's decision on interest rates. To raise, or not to raise - that is the question. 2/ Token Unlocks Weâve already talked about [why token unlocks are a big deal]( and why investors need to keep an eye on them. Milk Road Rule #58: where there is a token unlock, there is price volatility. There are a bunch more happening this week: - Blur ($BLUR) will be unlocking 196M tokens (worth ~$63.7M) - BitDAO ($BIT) will be unlocking 187M tokens (worth ~$79.3M) - ApeCoin ($APE) will be unlocking 15M tokens (worth ~$35.5M) In total, there are about $197M worth of tokens being unlocked [this week](. Regulatory hearings + interest rate decision + token unlocks = A rocky week.
