Executive Summary

The last 24-hours saw a shift in the digital asset economy from a “capitulation recovery” narrative to a regime of “strategic selection.” While the market previously focused on general recovery following a US-India trade deal and mining difficulty resets, it is now defined by aggressive institutional rebalancing and significant regulatory friction.

A “beyond Bitcoin” strategy is emerging among Tier-1 financial entities, characterized by a transition from purely monetary store-of-value plays to assets emphasizing transactional utility and specialized infrastructure. This is evidenced by major sell-side disclosures—most notably from Goldman Sachs—and a fundamental re-rating of the Bitcoin mining sector by Morgan Stanley, which now views miners as critical energy infrastructure for the artificial intelligence (AI) sector.

Concurrently, a regulatory stalemate in Washington D.C. regarding stablecoin yields and a “Ghost Coin” operational failure at Bithumb in South Korea have introduced high-risk premiums and mandated a shift toward “Audited Infrastructure.”
