Bitcoin is pressing against a critical threshold, but the real story lies beneath the surface where institutional forces, market structure, and crypto-native coordination are reshaping the next phase.

This week, we unpack Bitcoin’s push toward $80K, the surge in ETF inflows, and how institutional demand is aligning in a way that could shift market momentum.

We also explore DeFi’s response to crisis, evolving token value capture, and the rise of new trading architectures that may redefine onchain liquidity. Enjoy!
