Kelp DAO just lost $292 million in a bridge exploit. rsETH stranded across 20 chains. BTC slides to $76K. DeFi's security problem isn't getting smaller.

• Bitcoin broke through seven months of resistance this week before sliding back toward $76K — and the narrative battle between bulls and bears is now fully open.
• Solana futures open interest rose 20% this week as SOL briefly touched $90 before pulling back to $86 — derivatives traders are leaning in.

• The IMF just issued a global debt warning that directly reprices the macro backdrop for Bitcoin — and not in the way bulls want.
• World Liberty Financial — the Trump-backed DeFi project — is proposing to unlock $6.2 billion in tokens. Yes, billion.

The SEC just said crypto wallet software isn't a broker. Three years of developer fear, gone in one staff bulletin. BTC sits at $72K. Crypto funds just had their best week since January. Someone should've bet on this.

Today's key developments:
• The SEC just ruled that software enabling crypto wallet transactions doesn't qualify as a broker — exempting non-custodial interfaces from mandatory registration requirements.
• Crypto funds posted their best week of inflows since January, with both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF products seeing surging investment.
• Kraken disclosed it was targeted in an extortion attempt — an attacker claimed to have client data and demanded payment. Kraken says no breach occurred and no client funds were at risk.
