Digital Assets Decoded: Your Daily Crypto Guide podcast.Hey there, crypto enthusiasts It's your buddy Crypto Willy here, and I'm excited to share the latest updates from the world of digital assets. Let's dive right in!First off, MicroStrategy, now rebranded as Strategy, is back in the Bitcoin buying game. After a two-week hiatus, they've announced the purchase of 7,633 bitcoins at an average price of $97,255. This move brings their year-to-date Bitcoin yield to 4.1%[1].Meanwhile, Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) is considering a significant shift in how they classify crypto assets. They might start treating them as financial products equivalent to securities, which could lead to the lifting of the current ban on Bitcoin Spot ETFs. Plus, they're looking at lowering the tax rate on crypto from 55% to 20%[1].In other news, ADA has been the star of the top 10 tokens by market capitalization, surging 14% thanks to Grayscale Investment's Cardano ETF filing on the NYSE[1].But let's not forget about the broader market sentiment. After a brief pullback, BTC and ETH put-call skew ratios for one-week tenors have returned to positive territory. Our friends at Block Scholes note that their ETH Senti-meter Index has bounced off its -2 value, though it still remains in bearish territory[1].Now, let's talk about President Trump's recent tariff announcements. His new tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico have sparked concerns about a global economic slowdown, leading to a sharp decline in the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin dipped below $97,000, while Ethereum, Solana, and XRP also took a hit[3].On the regulatory front, President Trump's Crypto Czar, David Sacks, outlined the federal government's new approach to digital assets. The main priorities include creating a stablecoin bill and a federal regulatory framework. Senator Bill Hagerty has introduced legislation to create a framework for stablecoins, and the goal is to have bills through the Senate within the first 100 days of the new administration[2].That's all for now, folks. Stay tuned for more updates from the world of digital assets.
