Hey there, crypto enthusiasts! Crypto Willy here with your weekly roundup of all things digital assets. Buckle up, because we've got a wild ride ahead!

First up, let's talk about the elephant in the room - Bitcoin. Our beloved BTC has been on a rollercoaster lately, hitting a low of $76,600 last week before rebounding to around $83,000. The market's been jittery, thanks to concerns over Trump's tariff policies and some global economic uncertainty. But don't panic yet, folks! We've seen worse dips during bull runs before.

Speaking of Trump, his administration's been making waves in the crypto world. The President signed an executive order aimed at supporting the growth of digital assets and blockchain tech in the US. It's a pretty big deal, establishing a new working group to propose a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies. They're even considering creating a national digital asset stockpile - imagine that!

Over at the SEC, there's been a changing of the guard. Gary Gensler's out, and Paul Atkins is set to take the helm once he's confirmed. In the meantime, Acting Chairman Mark Uyeda's wasted no time shaking things up. They've launched a new "Crypto 2.0" task force to develop a clear regulatory framework for digital assets. It's about time, right?

On the institutional front, we've seen some interesting moves. BlackRock's BUIDL fund has surpassed $1 billion, making it the largest tokenized Treasury fund out there. And get this - REX Shares has launched BMAX, the first Bitcoin Corporate Treasury Convertible Bond ETF. It's a mouthful, but it basically gives investors exposure to convertible bonds from companies holding Bitcoin.

In the altcoin world, Ethereum's been having a rough time, dropping from $2,150 to around $1,900. But don't count ETH out just yet - there's still plenty of development happening on the network. Solana and Dogecoin have also taken hits, both down about 10% week-on-week.

On a brighter note, Toncoin (TON) jumped 20% after France allowed Telegram's Pavel Durov to return to Dubai following his arrest. And for you DeFi enthusiasts, Circle's moving a $900 million money market fund under a DABA license. That's a big step for institutional adoption of decentralized finance.

Lastly, let's not forget about the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting. The market's on edge, waiting to see what they'll do with interest rates. Most traders are betting on a pause, but recent inflation reports might push the Fed to keep things tight.

That's all for now, crypto pals! Remember, the market might be volatile, but the technology behind it keeps marching forward. Stay curious, stay informed, and I'll catch you next week for more Digital Assets Decoded. This is Crypto Willy, signing off!
