š„ Key Takeaways:
š¹ Trump is signaling massive confidence in a potential economic surge. š¹ Markets may begin pricing in a Trump 2024 win ā ahead of time. š¹ Risk-on appetite could return, triggering a FOMO rally in stocks and crypto.
š Why Crypto Investors Should Pay Attention:
⢠S&P 500 up = Bitcoin$BTC up
Historically, BTC correlates with strong equity markets. A breakout could spill over.
⢠Pro-growth policies = Risk assets benefit
Tax cuts, deregulation, or spending could boost both Wall Street and Web3.
⢠Meme stocks & meme coins?
We might see another speculative rally fueled by retail enthusiasm and social media.
ā ļø What to Watch:
Real policy vs. campaign hype: Markets may run ahead of fundamentals.
Volatility spike: Political headlines = rapid market swings.
Macro still matters: Fed policy, inflation, and liquidity will still drive the broader trend.
š Are We Entering a Trump-Led Bull Run? Bullish, bearish, or just buying the dip?

šØ Ethereum$ETH Activates Major 'Pectra' Update ā A New Era for the Network šØ
The Ethereum$ETH network has officially activated the Pectra update, one of its most significant upgrades since the Merge in 2022. Launched at epoch 364032 around 6:05 a.m. ET, this update brings 11 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) focused on performance, usability, validator efficiency, and scalability.
Despite early configuration issues on testnets like Holesky and Sepolia, the successful rollout of the Hoodi testnet in March 2025 laid the groundwork for a smooth mainnet deployment.
Pectra builds on the Dencun upgrade (March 2024), which introduced proto-danksharding (EIP-4844). Together, they prepare Ethereum$ETH for future updates like Fusaka, which will use Werksley and PeerDAS trees for deeper scalability.
š Key EIPs in Pectra Update:
š¹ EIP-7702 ā Account Abstraction Allows wallets to function like smart contracts. Enables third-party gas payments and bundled actions. Paves the way for features like social recovery.
š¹ EIP-7251 ā Validator Balance Increase Raises the max effective balance from 32 ETH to 2048 ETH. Improves validator efficiency but raises centralization concerns.
š¹ EIP-7691 - Blob Throughput Increase Doubles the target blob count from 3 to 6 (and max from 6 to 9). Boosts rollup performance for L2s like Arbitrum and Optimism.
š¹ EIP-7002 ā Validator Exit via Execution Layer Allows validator exits without active keys. Enhances validator security and simplifies withdrawals.
š¹ EIP-2935 ā Persistent Block Hash Storage Stores recent block hashes in state, not temporary memory. Improves oracle integration and cross-layer verification.
š¹ EIP-6110 ā Faster Validator Activation Reduces validator activation time from 12 hours to 13 minutes. Helps large staking providers scale more quickly.
