This might be the most loaded week for macro and crypto all year.
In just seven days:
· The CLARITY Act cleared the Senate Banking Committee 15-9 with bipartisan support. Crypto's first comprehensive U.S. regulatory framework now moves toward a full Senate vote.
· Kevin Warsh was confirmed as Fed Chair 54-45. Governor Miran, who dissented at six straight FOMC meetings pushing for cuts, resigns the moment Warsh is sworn in. Hawkish era, officially underway.
· CPI hit 3.8% YoY, PPI surged to 6%. Bitcoin dropped below $80K with $304M in long liquidations. Rate cut hopes evaporated.
· The Trump-Xi Beijing summit produced a 90-day tariff truce, slashing U.S. tariffs from 145% to 30%. Nvidia H200 chips cleared for select Chinese buyers, but Beijing paused shipments pending rare earth talks.
· The U.S.-Iran ceasefire sits on what Trump called "massive life support." The Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed to commercial shipping since April, with oil pushing past $102 per barrel.
· Cerebras landed the biggest tech IPO of 2026. Priced at $185, opened at $350, closed around $313, valued at nearly $70 billion. AI chip demand is not slowing down.
· The Dow crossed 50,000 for the first time. S&P 500 and Nasdaq both hit fresh all-time highs with seven straight weeks of gains. Meanwhile, crypto got hammered by inflation data. The divergence is hard to ignore.
· SpaceX is expected to release its IPO prospectus as early as next week after filing confidentially in April. If it goes through, it could be the most anticipated public listing in years.
Regulation, rates, liquidity, geopolitics, IPO mania. All converging at once, all feeding into how markets position for the rest of 2026.
Which of these events do you think will matter most for crypto this summer?
#MarketOverloadWeek
A $12 trillion brokerage just started selling Bitcoin to your parents.
Charles Schwab went live with spot BTC and ETH trading yesterday, opening access to 35 million+ brokerage clients who have probably never used a crypto exchange. The fee is 0.75% per trade, custody sits with Schwab Premier Bank, and Paxos handles execution. No DeFi, no self-custody, no leverage. Just plain buy-and-hold through the same app they use for index funds.
This is not the first TradFi firm to touch crypto, but it might be the most significant. Schwab's clients are not degens. They are retirement savers, long-term allocators, and people who still call their financial advisor before making a trade. When this demographic gets a "Buy Bitcoin" button inside their existing account, the capital flow profile changes.
For context:
· Schwab is the largest U.S. brokerage by client assets, managing nearly $12 trillion
· The service launched with BTC and ETH only, with more assets planned
· Crypto accounts are separate from brokerage accounts, with no cross-margin or unified trading
The walls between TradFi and crypto are coming down from both sides. Schwab is bringing stocks-first clients into crypto. Crypto exchanges are bringing crypto-first traders into equities.
Would you buy BTC through your brokerage, or do you prefer keeping your crypto on a crypto-native platform?
#SchwabCryptoGoesLive
A crypto exchange just became a multi-asset trading platform, and most people have not caught up yet.
OKX now offers perpetual contracts across U.S. stocks, indices, ETFs, commodities, and pre-IPO names, all USDT-settled, all 24/7. The full lineup spans more than 30 contracts, from Mag 7 tech giants to crude oil and copper, plus the S&P 500 and regional ETFs like MSCI Japan and MSCI South Korea.
What makes this different from a brokerage is how it fits into a crypto trader's workflow. One unified account, one collateral pool. You can hedge a BTC drawdown by going long the S&P 500, rotate into NVIDIA after an earnings beat, or short crude oil on a ceasefire rumor, all without leaving the platform or converting your USDT.
No T+1 settlement. No market close. Leverage up to 10x on equity perps.
This is also not a side experiment. ICE, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, invested in OKX at a $25 billion valuation and took a board seat. The infrastructure behind these products is built with institutional-grade backing from day one.
The trader who reads macro, watches equities, tracks commodities, and trades crypto no longer needs four different platforms to act on a single thesis.
What asset class outside of crypto are you most interested in trading from your OKX account?

The most important 309 pages in crypto just dropped, and the vote is Thursday.
The Senate Banking Committee released the full CLARITY Act draft and locked in a markup vote for May 14 at 10:30 AM ET. This is the biggest U.S. crypto policy moment since the House passed it with 294 votes last July.
Here's what the bill settles:
· Decentralized assets go under CFTC, not SEC
· DeFi developers exempt from broker registration
· The SEC-CFTC joint classification of 16 tokens as digital commodities (including ETH, SOL, XRP) becomes federal law, not just guidance a future admin can reverse
· Stablecoin yield gets a legal framework: issuers cannot pay interest simply for holding balances (protecting bank deposits), but rewards tied to bona fide transactions are allowed. Senators Tillis and Alsobrooks brokered this compromise
Over 120 crypto firms co-signed in support. On the other side, three major banking groups (ABA, BPI, ICBA) filed formal opposition on the same day.
The biggest wildcard: ethics. The 309-page draft contains zero provisions restricting government officials from profiting off crypto while regulating it. Senate Democrats, led by Gillibrand, say the bill cannot move without one. Warren pointed out that the president and his family have made at least $1.4 billion from crypto deals alone with no guardrails in this legislation. This provision was in earlier negotiations since September 2025 but was stripped entirely from the final text.
Passage needs all 13 Republican committee votes. Polymarket currently puts the odds of the CLARITY Act being signed into law by end of 2026 at around 69-75%, though those odds have swung from 45% to 75% in the past two weeks alone.
Thursday morning could define crypto's regulatory landscape for the next decade.
What's your read: does the ethics fight stall this, or does momentum carry it through?
