The Fed stress test cleared most major banks to return capital to shareholders, including a $50 billion buyback from JPMorgan. Bitcoin is at 61,624, Ethereum at 1,651, and almost everything in crypto is red over the past five days. Lucas and Luna explore why a systemic-health signal for the banking sector actually pulls capital away from digital assets — the opportunity cost in action. They walk through the mechanics: when banks get the green light for buybacks and dividends, institutional risk appetite shifts. Hedge funds rotate, stablecoin volumes dip, and crypto liquidity thins. The conversation also touches on how this compares to the post-SVB era, and what it means for the rest of 2026.
